How God made the Cullens

The Beginning

When God made the human race, he thought it was his greatest creation. They had honesty, bravery and kindness, faithfulness and generosity, and most of all, love. But then he wondered, how did he know they were his greatest creation if everything good always happened to them, how did he truly know they were faithful if he never tested their faith?

So God created temptation, to test his creations' faith and character. Unfortunately he was disappointed. Most did not resist the temptation, not knowing that they were meant to resist. But some did, they had an inner sense of right and wrong and that made God proud. However he couldn't help but be disgruntled that his so called "greatest creation" had gone so wrong.

God thought long and hard about this problem and he finally came up with a solution. He would make a new creature, better and yet worse: a predator - a punishment to the wicked number of his former creations that could not resist temptation.

These punishment creatures were not human so God took away the things that made humans what they were – their flaws. These creatures would be stronger, faster, smarter and more beautiful and they would never die. He also stopped their hearts and took away all their human fluids so they would not be tempted to hunt their own kind for food. With their fluids removed they couldn't have children so God gave them a substance that, if they could resist killing their prey, would change them. However God couldn't stand to take away the one thing he never regretting giving even the worst of his old creatures – love. In fact these new creatures could love more strongly and deeply than any other creature before them.

With his creatures complete he set them on the world and observed, only to be shocked by what he saw. God had made a mistake. He had made the blood lust in his new creatures so strong that they were preying on the good humans, as well as the bad. He had failed again. Hanging his head in shame he did the only thing he could think of to stop the outrageous slaughter. He chose three of his finest creatures and enhanced their abilities, giving them special powers, and ordered them to make sure the all others stayed in line and kept their true nature and identity secret from the humans. He also punished them, punished them all. He took away their dreams and the ability to sleep.

Then God left. He receded into the darkest corners of the universe to brood over his colossal mistake and wonder over and over again how he could possible make this right. He knew he couldn't just wipe them all out and start from scratch because even thought he was ashamed of them, he loved all his creations, large and small: and even if he did start from scratch, he might make another mistake, even bigger than the last. He couldn't risk it. He wished he could just take back his first mistake, take back temptation and let the humans be happy. But he couldn't, even he knew his restrictions. Once he had made a decision and added it to his world he couldn't take it back, it wasn't possible. So he just decided not to interfere again in what his creations did. Deep at the back of his mind, however, he thought that if even one of his new creations could resist the biggest temptation of all, resist their fundamental nature and stop themselves from being a monster – he would come back just to watch over this special being. He doubted it, but he hoped, and he waited.
