The Cullens found it extremely difficult to live in a world where so much temptation lived so close. When Edward was one day exploring, he came upon a cave nestled far away from all humanity. Upon telling his family, the Cullens moved. In the cave was a hole, like in a beaver's damn, where they could escape into the ocean off of the coast of Australia where their new home was located. They lived in peace there, finally rid of the constant nagging of the monster inside them to drink human blood. Then, Bella Swan, resident Marine Biologist and a large believer in mermaids, glimpses them swimming. What will happen…DUN.DUN.DUN.

As soon as I entered the cave that I found, I knew it would be the perfect place for my family to live. Small holes where the water had washed away the rock allowed sunlight to enter. It reflected off the crystals that were pressed into the hard rock walls to create a sight not unlike a vampire in the sunlight.
It was absolutely perfect.
As I explored further, I noticed how rooms already seemed to be formed, with hallways and one huge cavern with a hole in the top that sunlight poured through.
"It's absolutely perfect…" I whisper-muttered to myself. And it was.
"EEEEKK!! Edward this is the most perfect place ever created!!" Alice squealed.
"Yeah, Edward, I must say. This place is pretty sweet…and Rose, babe, look! This can be our room!" Emmett said looking at a room down the hall from the giant cavern.
"Decorating this place would be fantastic! Edward, really, this perfect," Esme gushed.
I'm glad they all liked it. Now they all have even more perfect lives, with their stupid mates. It's something that I've never had the pleasure of feeling…love toward someone. As more than a friend of course. I love my family dearly.
"Hey Edward, get your skinny ass down here and look at this. The rock looks like a toilet. How cool is that?" Emmett said intelligently.
Okay I'm taking that back. I love most of my family dearly. Most of the time.

"Come on Edward! Let's go for a swim! Stop being such a Mr. Grumpy Gills, your making everyone feel bad." Alice said from outside of my door.
"No thanks, Alice," I replied simply. I didn't feel like it, it seemed I never did these days.
"Edward," Alice said, barging into my room, "you are going to get out of this room and stop moping around or I will personally drag your sorry ass out." Her bright golden eyes were wide and I swear I could see steam shooting from her ears.
I'm scared.
"Okay Alice, I'll come."
"No Edward I don't want you to just come! I want you to want to come and be something other than a fricken couch potato. A moody albino couch potato! You know wh—" she suddenly stopped talking and her eyes glazed over. She was having a vision.
About a minute later she came out of the trance, looked at me, smiled broadly, and walked out.
And so I was alone again.
Very alone.
