I could live with this list, some of these things I was planning on taking anyway. All I needed to know was who I would be going with…

Edward POV

Something was up. They were planning something and I knew they were! All of my family were blocking me from their heads.

Carlisle, the father figure of the house, stayed at the hospital often saying that he had work to attend to and when he wasn't there he was reciting patient names. Esme, his wife, recited recipes even though WE DON'T EAT! My brothers Emmett and Jasper tended to think about their sex lives which made me definitely want to stay out of their minds. Rose and Alice thought about shopping which held no interest to me.

Blocking their thoughts from my vampire senses was something new to me. Often thoughts of personal information was blocked but, never did they block everything. Of course, I tried to respect their privacy but, that was not always an easy task.

When Carlisle changed me some odd 200 years ago, I developed the ability to read people's thoughts. All thoughts. This was something new to me of course. It is not easy to block out thoughts and was a developing ability in it's self. Thoughts entered my mind on their own, I did not often search for them or seek them out.

I was a strong believer that it was none of my business.

I could not take this any longer though. It had been more than two weeks. I had to confront Alice. She would be the easiest to talk to and she was the planner.

"Alice!" I yelled, knowing that she would come immediately.

"Yes, my dear brother?" She was in front of me in less than a second with her vampire speed.

"What is going on with everyone? What are you planning?" She gave me a confused look but, I could see right through that. I started to search her head, she was reciting the Declaration of Independence.

"Stay out of my mind Edward Cullen! You will find out tonight! Just be patient Carlisle will be home soon, then we will tell you." I huffed as she walked out of the room. Alice could be so difficult sometimes.

"Edward?" Alice called me, all my family was at the dinner table that served no purpose to us. I had been waiting for someone to call me down.

"Yes?" I said appearing in my usual seat between Carlisle and Alice.

"Now Edward, Alice has something to tell you, hear he out, honey." Esme said before anything was started. I looked towards Alice, she was bouncing up and down in her seat from pure excitement.

"I know this is weird Edward but, we are sending you to a deserted island!!!" She said excitedly.

"Wh-What?" I asked in utter shock, that was not something you expected to hear.

"Okay, well this girl is doing it for some research thingy and we are sending you along with her." Alice clarified.

"Why?"

"Because it would be good for you." She said.

"No. I will not go. There will be a fragile human there! I will not go. What if the island runs out of animals? What am I suppose to do? Kill the human?"

"Now, Edward, if anything was to go wrong, you know Alice would see it." Carlisle said.

"What if she missed it?" Alice looked hurt as soon as the words came out of my mouth and I instantly regretted them.

"Edward! Do not insult your sister like that!" Carlisle started. "We have all decided that this would be best for you. You sit in your room listening to music constantly. You need to live a little. You are not happy. It will be good for you to get away and have the responsibility of taking care of someone. This decision has been made and you will not defy me." I had never heard Carlisle tell me that I must do something so, I knew he was serious in what he said. This was not a choice.

I sat back down. I would not defy Carlisle and everyone knew that. He was my father figure after all.

"You may take whatever you want with you Edward. You leave Tuesday." Esme told me. That was only two days away.

"Who am I going with?"

"We know nothing about her except her name is Isabella Swan." Beautiful Swan, huh? We would see.

"Okay." I got up and went to my car, I needed to visit the camping store. Of course Alice followed me, she knew my plan and she would never pass up a chance to shop even if it was for camping supplies.

"Edward, we love you." She said when we were on our way to the Newton's camping store.

"I know that Alice, although it doesn't mean that I agree with your decisions."

"I know but, I can see that it will be a good thing." I kissed Alice's forehead and we went into the store.

I knew that I would need nothing for this trip but, the human would need tons of stuff.

When Tuesday rolled around I knew I was ready. I probably was bringing way too much stuff but, I might need it all. I said goodbye to everyone in my family before I left to go to the airport. I did not have to worry about my car being there because I would run. Alice already told me that it would be fine if I ran there.

I walked into the airport with my hair wind blown. I went up to the front desk where a bottle blonde was staring at me.

Damn, can I have a piece of that? I would love to be all hot and sweaty with his big-

Wow, that was enough. I blocked out her thoughts and walked up to the desk.

"Hello, Is there anyway, anyway at all, I can help you?" She said implying something much more than what she was suppose to.

"Yes, can you tell me where the Swan helicopter will take off?"

Ugh, he is going with that weird girl on the trip. She is so ugly…why would he want to go with her when he can have me?

"Terminal 8."

"Thanks," I said trying not to run away from the girls thoughts. Was Isabella really ugly? Was she weird?

I pushed thoughts aside as I walked into terminal 8, taking my seat in the helicopter as the pilot instructed me to do.
