"Wow, its beautiful." Esme smiled as she stepped out of the car. The sun was glinting like diamonds off the lake. Carlisle smiled, arms wrapping around his wife's midsection. "No where near as beautiful as you." He whispered affectionately. It was true. Sun and water was nothing when compared to vampire skin.
"Your sure no one'll see us?" Bella asked hesitantly she stepped out of her husband's car.
"No way. Locals are scared Woooo!" Emmett tossed a sheet over his large frame and waved his arms above his head. "Haunted!" He turned his sights on Rosalie who was working her multitudes of luggage from the car. "Immm gonnaaa geeeet youuuuuuuu!"
She smirked, pulling him hard against her. "If all the ghost are as sexy as you I think I'd like to be haunted." She nipped at his lip.
"There scared because of Jason!" Alice chipped in. "You see there's this old legend. A kid drowned and his mom was so furious she killed off all the councilors who should've been watching him but she didn't stop there, she kept killing people until one offed her instead, swhipe!" She drew her finger across her neck. "Off with her head."
"Yea but here's the kicker." Emmett joined in the conversation. "Kid wasn't really dead. He was already a retard and the drowning gave him even worse brain damage. He'd been livin' in the woods and he saw his mom get killed. Messed him up so bad he started killin' everyone who got near the place."
"What if he gets us?" Bella squeaked. Edward glared at his siblings, angry with them for frightening her.
Rosalie rolled her eyes at her sister-in-laws stupidity. "It's just a story besides, even if he was real we're immortal, remember?"
"So you see why it's the perfect place to stay. Sun, nature and no people about." Carlisle said, smiling.
"And bears!" Emmett grinned. "Smorgasbord. All you can eat."
"Come one kids, lets hurry up and get our stuff inside so we can head out to the lake."
Edward and Bella headed for the boys cabin furthest on the end, Rosalie and Emmett for the one of the girls, Alice and jasper for the other. Esme and Carlisle where going to have the counselors house. Space was always a plus when it involve four married couples with supper hearing.

"Ugh! These beds are filthy!" Rosalie complained as she tossed her bag down in a cloud of dust.
"What do you expect babe, no ones been here in years." Emmett scooped the luggage up, tossing it out in the front of the cabin along with all six mattresses. She raised her eyebrows and he smirked. "Trust me Rose, were gonna need all these in working order." He picked up the broom in the corner, tossing it at her. She caught it with ease. "Why don't you sweep up while I beat the dust outta these?"
She nodded, frowning. Esme had hired someone to come clean this place up but apparently they'd never shown. Lazy idiot.

"There we go." Bella smiled as she and Edward finished with the room. Spick and span.
"We need bed sheets." Edward said, gathering up the last of the used paper towels in a grocery bag.
Bella nodded in agreement, catching his hand as he slipped out of the room. "I wanna call Nessie when we get in the main house too." Their daughter had opted out of the trip, instead deciding to stay with her boyfriend Jacob Black at his hose on the Indian reserve.
When they got in the house Esme and Carlisle where both busy cleaning the large house and she smiled, watching as her surrogate mother scoured the stove clean. There was no chance they where going to use that thing but it didn't mater.
Bella looked around. "Esme, where's the phone?"
"Don't have one dear, cell phones don't work either." Bella nodded, she'd already realized that. "There's some type of natural anomaly that makes it very difficult to hold a signal. Carlisle finds it fascinating." Catching the expression on her face she reached out one yellow-gloved hand to pat Bella's shoulder. "Don't worry, we can head in to town tonight. I saw a pay phone near the general store."
Bella nodded again, catching the blankets that flew down the steps. Edward came down with an armload of sheets. They headed back outside, her eyes widening as she caught sight of the snow, no, wait, not snow- it was fluff. Looking over she saw the mattresses in front of one of the cabins was split open, From where they stood it looked like about four of them.
"Rosalie? Emmett?" Edward frowned, calling his brother and sister. kinda busy right now brother dearRosalie's voice met his head from her cabin and for an added bonus she sent him a mental image of exactly what it was that was keeping her so busy.
"What did you do to your beds?! Even you two cant be that bad!" He didn't need to yell, there vampire hearing could easily understand him.
what do you want? Emmett thought annoyed. Vacation, get away, cant we just unpack in peace?
"Fine. Esme's not gonna be happy when she sees the mess ou two made out here though."

"Who the heck did this?" Emmett glared round at his siblings faces. Everyone's eyes instantly flew to Alice but she shrugged. Edward could hear her thoughts where troubled, she hadn't seen anything at all.
"She didn't see anything. Must've been an animal, a fox or something." He frowned though. He didn't smell anything on it though except a strange odor, faint but like the silt found on the bottom of a pond.
Continue? Yes? No?
