Elizabeth's POV

The Cullens. What can I say? Well I guess it's something along the lines of this.
When Edward left Bella she was pregnant, with me, and my brother.
Bella ran away from home and gave birth to Masen, Renesmee and I.
Before she could die my brother Masen turned her.
To be fair he didn't know what he was doing at the time, he was just thirsty.
Anyway so we smelt a vampire nearby, we knew that we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves so we fled, leaving Bella burning on the floor. Except Renesmee wanted to stay. We tried to convince her to come with us but she wouldn't budge. So we left her too.
We don't know what the vampire did but we knew that they had both survived.
When we came back Bella and Renesmee were gone, they'd left without a trace.
So then we were on our own.
We soon discovered our strengths, our weaknesses and our powers.
Eighteen years later and we've stopped growing. Now we're enrolled at the local high school.
My brother and I are what you could call 'the popular kids' we get straight A's and excel in music and sport. They worship us.
We live in a small two story house just out of town. Our background story is that our parents died when we were young and that we'd lived in foster homes since. But a few years ago Masen and I applied for emancipation and we've been legal adults ever since.
For the past month Masen and I had been on holidays in Australia visiting friends.
So when we got back we were pretty ticked off because there was now a large monstrous house directly across from our house. And guess who lives there? Yeah damn freakin' right. The Cullens that's who.
No-one was home when we arrived so we went about our business as usual.

It's 9pm. The Cullens had arrived home an hour ago. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't function, I couldn't do anything! It was driving me mad. I groaned loudly in frustration, causing my Brother-who was also my best friend- to laugh.

"Shut up Masen!" I yelled from my spot on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. There were no sounds of his approach, but in less than a second he was lying on the floor, head next to mine.

"Heyy." I said with a smile.

He laughed and replied

"Heyy Lizzie."

I giggled and he continued to laugh.

We sighed in unison and then looked at each other.

"What are we gonna do Mase?" I asked worriedly.

"I dunno. But what I do know is that everything's gonna be ok."

"Omg you sounded so cheesy just now."

"I did didn't I?"

"Yeah"

We both erupted into a fit of laughter and I knew at that moment, at that point in time, everything really was going to be okay.

"What are we going to do?"

"We can't just keep sitting here!"

The Cullens kept screaming things at each other. I listened in as I sat on the roof of my house outside my bedroom window.

"Why don't we just talk to them?" Said a calm male voice.

Behind me, my bedroom window slid open.

"Entertaining?" Asked Masen.

"Very." I replied.

He sat down next to me.

"Popcorn?" I asked offering him the bowl.

He laughed.

"It's 8 am." He said taking a handful anyway.

"Yeah well I couldn't sleep."

"Me neither." He replied.

We sat in silence for a while just listening.

"Hey why don't we go to the beach." Masen suggested.

I smiled.

"You know me to well brother."

He laughed.

"Well sister mine I believe it comes with the title."

He stood up and held out his hand to me. I took it and got up climbing inside the window. Once inside I turned to see Masen still outside staring at something.

"Mase?" I said frozen in place.

As soon as he heard my voice he turned around and came back inside.

"Sorry I was just thinking." He said softly.
