Just so you know I came up with the history and royal information, but the names of the goddess are real. I don't own any of this. It belongs to Stephenie Meyer. Enjoy :)BPOV

Another dream. I was at a water show with all kinds of marine animals performing, dolphins, whales, seals, and fish, lots and lots of fish. I had never been to a show like this before but I didn't protest, I was enjoying the show. They were doing all sorts of tricks and things on the commands of a whistle. It was all so interesting, they were making the water do all sorts of things when they did their trick. A dolphin came up to me, it kind of reminded me of the dolphin from yesterday. It then threw something up into the air which I somehow managed to catch. I looked down and saw that it was the beautiful necklace. The animals started crying out in pain. I looked over to see them slowly fading away. My hands then began to burn in pain. Looking down I saw that the necklace was gone and everything, including me, was fading into a realm of pure darkness. That's when the pain started.

My eyes flashed open wide in pain as my hands burned. I sat up without managing to use my hands. Edward who was sitting in a chair on the opposite side of the room rushed over to my side when he saw me wake up.

"Bella, what's wrong?" he said worried.

He eyes feel upon my hands which had turned a light pink from probably the burning pain.

"Open the patio door," I said through my teeth trying so much to deal with the pain.

Edward quickly ran over to the patio doors and threw them open. I got up from my bed and tried to move as quickly as possible outside, but the pain somehow made my feet move slower. Edward put a hand on my shoulder to try and lead me out himself but I shook it off determined to make it out to the patio by myself. I don't know how long it took me to get outside but it felt like forever. Finally I made it over to the edge of the patio where the concrete met the ocean's water. I knelt down and placed my hands in the water, which relieved the pain instantly. When the pain went away I noticed that my hands started to glow this blue color. I took my hand out of the water and the glow disappeared. I looked back to see if Edward had noticed but he was still at the doors, he probably wasn't even able to see. I got up and Edward rushed to my side.

"Are you alright love?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine now," I said.

I began to shiver. Whoa, where did that come from. It wasn't even degrees outside and I was shivering.

"Let's get you inside," Edward said.

Edward lead me back into my room as I continued to shiver. He walked over and got a blanket for me. I shook my head not wanting the blanket.

"I think I'm just gonna go take a long hot bath," I said.

Edward nodded and then I walked into my very large bathroom which by the way was meet for two people. I instantly turned to my Jacuzzi tub and turned on the water fill began to fill up the tub.
Steam filled the room. I turned to one of the two mirrors above the his and hers sinks. Steam instantly stuck to the mirror. I went to rub it off but then frost happened to manifest onto the reflective glass. I gasped.

"Bella?" Edward said from the other room with worry in his voice.

"I'm fine," I shouted back to him.

I turned away from the mirror and then turned my attention back to the tub, concentrating only on getting in the warm water.

After I was all dried and clothed me and Edward walked out into the kitchen where Esme and Carlisle making me some breakfast. I walked over and sat down at the table, Edward sat down in the table right besides me.

"We thought you might like some breakfast," Esme said.

"Seeing how you've developed quite the sleeping habits," Carlisle added.

"Thanks," I said.

The rest of the Cullens came out of their rooms and joined us in the kitchen.

"So what's up?" Emmett said cheerful as ever, "Breakfast time for the human."

I rolled my eyes.

"We didn't hear you screaming, so does that mean you didn't wake up in pain today?" Emmett asked.

"I'm getting used to the pain. Today when it happened I didn't scream at all. I was able to make it out myself and get rid of the pain," I said looking down at my hands.

Everyone was quite for a moment until Carlisle broke the silence.

"Emmett how about you leave Bella alone and come help us make breakfast," he said.

Emmett whined at first but then joined them intot he kitchen. The smells floated over and filled my nose. Crepes. Esme brough over a plate, glass, and silverwear. Carlisle brought a place of crepes and fresh fruit of mango and raspberries and placed it on my plate. And Emmett began to bring over a pitcher of water but he tripped over something. Very clumsly for a great vampire. Water flew out of the pitcher and started to fly all over and the glass pitcher went flying. Edward managed to catch the pitcher. I thought for sure that the water would fly all over and get everyone wet but some of it flew into my glass, filling it, and the rest flew back into the pitcher.

"Well that was odd," Jasper said.

I stared at my glass amazed and confused at what happened. I started eatting my breakfast, slowly getting the incidnet right out of my mind. Everyone else just talked about what just happened. When I was done with my breakfast I jsut started to stare at my hands out of boredom. I looked over at my scared hand. My eyes widened in shock, the scar had disappeared from my hand. I quickly got up from my chair causing me to recieve several glares from everyone. I looked at everyone and then ran out of the house and into the jungle.

I heard Edward call my name but I kept running, deeper and deeper into the island's tropical jungle. I didn't know where I gathered the energy to run so quickly but it didn't matter. All I did was run. That was until I feel and tripped over a small fallen tree trunk. Even with my newfound grace I still managed to fall flat on my face. I picked myself up and smelled the familar salt and rust smell. I looked down and saw I managed to cut my knee open. I stood up and began to walk further into the deep, dense jungle as my blood flowed down from my wound. Soon I managed to find a small lake in the center of the jungle which managed to be filled by multiple tall waterfalls. The water was crystal clear and so clean. A perfect place to clean my cut. I kicked off my shoes, sat down on the edge of the lake, and swung my legs into the cool waters of the lake. I cupped my right hand and reached down to scoop up some water to run over my cut. But instead a bubble filled with water levated up from the lake and floated a few inches above my cupped palm. My eyes widened as I stared at the water bubble. I moved my hand and the bubble moved with it. My mind went to what Edward told me I said the day that I almost drowned.

On the third day the transformation will begin. First will be a change in grace.

Check and I'm pretty happy about that one.

The next day will be a change in voice.

I don't know about that one, but I'll have to check that later.

Then the powers will appear.

That's a major check. Deciding to put my new powers to waste I made the water bubble fall onto my knee. What happened next was incredible, the water seemed to make my wound heal in a matter of seconds. I lefted my leg to see if anything was wrong but everything was normal. Well normal for me. A noise came from the south side of the jungle. A little scared of what it might be I got up, put my shoes back on, and began running north away from the noise. Again I managed to run at an incredable speed, not vampire fast speed but a speed that amazed me. In five mintues I had managed to run out of the jungle and found myself standing on the beach. I stopped to catch my breath. Once back to normal I looked over to my right and saw the cliffs.

Once the seventh day is reached is when the transformation will be complete. To those whoe chose to help, answers will lie in the cliffs.

The cliffs, they would help explain what was happening to me. I began to make my way closer towards the cliffs.

Once I arrived at the cliffs I began to wonder how they were going to help me. The looked like any ordinary cliffs but somewhere deep inside of my said that they were much, much more. I somehow found myself being lead over to the side of the cliff which was covered in vegitation. Looking more closley I found that there was an entrance hiden by the plants. Curiousity got the best of me, I moved past the plants and went through the hiden entrance. There was a path that lead somewhere down hill. I followed it and the further I got the darker the path became. After about five minutes, which felt like five hours, the path became ligther and I ended up in a cavern. The cavern seemed to glow from luminescent stalagmites and the stalactites somehow placed around a winding path, a river of ocean water that eluminated from the rocks seemed to flow in from the ocean, and another path across from the river lead somewhere else. My gut was telling me to take that path. Carefully I crossed the river by stepping on some of the rocks which weren't submurged in water. Once over I made my way down the path which was lit by the rocks unlike the path I came down to get here. It didn't take that long to find that the path lead to a wall with markings on it. They seemed ot be some sort of language and strangly I was able to read them. They were instructions on how to open the secret entrance to the next room. It said to mix a drop of blood into the water dish set to the left. I looked over and saw that there was a small bowl filled with water craved into the left wall. Wanting to see if the instructions I stupidly walked over to the bowl, pricked my finger, and squeezed a drop of my blood into the bowl. When the drop of blood entered the bowl the water turned a brillant bright blue color. The room began to rumble, I looked to the wall with the instructions on it. It was moving, creating an opening which lead into another room. I stepped into room and looked around. I was standing in a room with five statues, one in each of the four corners and one placed right in the middle surrounded my a moat of sparkling clear water. I walked over and looked at all of the statues. I seemed to reconized who they were, Calypso stood in the west corner, Nimue in the east corner, Rhode in the corner corner, Aphrodite in the south corner, and Poesiden right in the middle. I looked around even more and saw that all the walls were covered in the same markings from before. I began to read the markings.

HISTORY OF THE MERFOLK:
It is said that merfolk was born from Poesidon, god of the sea, and Aphrodite, goddess of love, when Aphrodite. Although Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, god of fire, and was cheating on him with Ares, god of war she decided to go and get back to her birthplace the sea. There she meet up with Poesidion and the two made love. Therefore the merfolk was created. Poesidion created four kingdoms in the four corners of the world and placed four goddesses in charge of them. Calypso, goddess of the sea was placed in charge in the west kingdom; Nimue, lady of the lake, was placed in charge of the east kingdom; Rhode, goddess of the islands of Rhodes and Posidions daughter, was placed in charge of the north kingdom; and Aphrodite was placed in charge of the south kingdom located near this island. Poesidion decided to help rule the south kingdom with Aphrodite but soon all of the four goddesses and the one god had to return to their godly duties, leaving the kingdom.

MERFOLK ROYAL FAMILY:
Poesidion and Aphrodite needed to figure out who they would leave in charge of the southern kingdom. They decided that they would place the oldest male and feamle as the rulers, making them king and queen. The others followed along picking rulers of their kingdom. Rhode chose the second oldest male and female to rule over the north kingdom; Nimue chose the second youngest male and femal to rule over the east kingdom; and Calypso chose the youngest male and female to rule over the west kingdom. The king and queen of these kingdoms along with their own children were given certain gifts that only the royals could have. They were given the power to control water, walk on land, move on land or in sea with speed and grace, and to inhance their singing voices.

Merfolk? Did that mean I was turning into a mermaid? Was that even possible? I read over the gifts again. Well I could control water, walk on land of course, move with speed and grace (on land at least have to see about the how I moved in the water later), and the singing is another thing I would have to check later. I couldn't believe it, I was turning into a fucking mermaid. I looked around the room again and then ran out as fast as I could. As soon as I got back to the cavern where the river is I stopped. I sat down on the cold hard ground and began to think. I was turning into a mythological creature. I placed my hand on the ground, it reminded me of Edward and the rest of the Cullens. That was when I felt like I really belonged. That I could have a vampire boyfriend and a werewolf as a best friend. I decided to embrace the change but I also decided I needed to find out more or the merfolks. That's when I remembered the man from the day we went to the island for the festival. He was shouting about the mermaid museum, trying to get people to come. That's where I needed to go. I got up off the ground and began to make my way out of the cliffs tavern. It took about half the time getting out of the place then it took getting in, mostly because I ran. Once out I turned to go to the dock so I could go to the island but I ran into something and fell down on my ass.

"Ow."

I looked up and saw that Alice was standing right in front of me.

"Ohmygod Bella, I'm sorry," Alice said helping me up to my feet.

"It's okay Alice I'm fine," I said to her, "How the hell did you find me?"

"I followed your scent of course."

Vampire's sense of smell, I forgot about that.

"Why did you follow me?" I asked her.

"Edward was worried about you going off on your own. So I volunteered to go after you. Plus I think you needed some time for girl talk. What's going on with you?" Alice said to me.

"I was thinking about going to the island and doing some research."

"Why?"

"Something's happening to me Alice, and you know it."

"Bella I don't..."

"Cut the crap Alice, I know that you figured out the whole speach I made that day I almost drowned."

I had no idea where that anger came from, I saw Alice recoiled at my harsh sounding words. I sighed.

"Bella I know you're going through a lot right now, and I will gladly take you to the island. Besides I could get some shoping done for you and me both. The sun's not gonna be out again," Alice said.

I smiled at her, she was the best friend that I could ever have. I hugged her.

"Thanks Alice," I said, "Let's go."

"Okay then hop on," Alice said referring for me to jump onto her back.

"It's okay I'll run, just go a little slower then you used to."

Alice looked at me like I was crazy but nodded her head. She took off around the cliff and ran down the beach, the opposite way I came. I took a deep breath and started running. I managed to catch up, Alice was amazed at my speed.

"Bella how the hell?" Alice said speachless.

"Like I told you something's happening to me. And it just happens to come with some perks."

We reached the docks in less then fifthteen minutes. As soon as we got there me and Alice got into the speed boat and rode over to the little island.

As soon as we got docked on the little island I got out of the boat and ran towards the placed the man was standing in front of the last time I was here. It didn't take me that long to find the place. It had a big fish on the top of the building, not very hard to miss. The building itself was in very bad condition, it was in desprit need of a paint jod and some renovations. But I easily entered the building. The inside wasn't that much better then the outside, everything seemed to be cover in dust and cobwebs hung from all around. I walked up to the front desk and rang the bell. A man with red hair and green eyes came out from an office behind the desk.

"Why hello little miss, and welcome to Professor Cornelius' Mermaid Museum, where you could learn everything there is about mermaids. For a slight fee of course," the man said with a slight accent signaling that he hadn't been living here for a while.

I reached into my pocket audimaticly, and felt something. I pulled out money that I didn't know how it got there. Alice. I gave the money to the man and he stepped right out from behind the desk. He began to lead me into a room.

"Step right this way and enter the room of the merfolk. I'm Professor Cornelius and I will be your tour guide for today," he said.

We entered a room filled with fish skeletons and coral crowns. Cornelius seemed to have walked over to the other side of the room, getting really into his speech. He turned around and looked at me a little confused of why I wasn't following him. He then walked over to my side.

"Well, what can I do for you today my my young lady?" he asked me.

"Professor Cornelius, I need you to tell me everything you know about mermaids," I answered.

His smiled widened.

"Everything?" he asked me.

"Everything," I said.

"Why the sudden intrest in mermaids my dear?"

"Something happened a few days ago that made me a little curious. And I found something today that made me even more curious about the subject."

Cornelius' smile widened even more.

"Well then follow me," he said.

He took me on the tour of the museum, showing me everthing from fish skeleton combs to chairs made out of coral. Everything was so boring until we came to a dark blue room with a blue light effect making it seem like there were waves on the wall. There were pictures of Aphrodite and Poesidion everywhere on the wall. And right in the middle was a painting of a mermaid queen.

"And here we enter the room of the royals," Cornelius said.

I emedeiately walked over to the painting. The mermaid queen was beautiful. Her hair was jet black, eyes were chocolate brown, seashell bra purple, and her tail the same purple as the shells. But what drew my eye was the necklace hanging from her neck. It was an amythest teardrop with a pearl inside attached to a silver chain.

"I see that the mermaid queen's painting has caught your eye," Cornelius said looking at the painting and then lookied at me, "I haven't reconized it before but you two look alike, except for the hair color and fact that you have legs of course."

"Professor, what is that hanging from her neck?" I asked.

"Oh, that is the necklace of a female royal. All of them wear them so they could be reconized as a ruler. They have been found in every stone except for the stone of the sea, the aquamarine. It is said that the one who possesses the aquamarine is the most powerfull of all the merfolk rulers. Almost as powerfull as Poesidion himself if not equal. Why do you ask my dear?"

"It's just that, I've been having these dreams lately about an aquamarine necklace with a pearl inside of it."

"Really," Cornelius' face lit up.

"Thank you for the tour Professor, but I have to go."

"You're welcome my dear and if you have anymore questions come back and ask me anytime."

I nodded to him and then made my way out of the musuem. So many thoughts ran through my head. I had been dreaming about a necklace of merfolk royalty. Not only that but the person who owned the necklace was said to be as powerful as Poesidion. Why was this necklace in my dreams? Was I part of the royal family? My thoughts almost keep me from seeing Alice walk right up to me. She held many shopping bags in her hands.

"So did you get you're research?" she asked me.

"Yeah," I answered.

"Did it help?"

"A little but it still left me a little confused."

"Oh well. Hey I got you some really cute outfits."

I laughed. No matter what the situation Alice's mind always seemed to be on shopping and fashion. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around and saw Edward was standing right there.

"Edward," I said surprised.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, me and Alice talked. Then she kidnapped me and took me shopping."

Wow I was really getting good at lying, it looked like Edward actually believed me. He wrapped his arms around my waste and brought me in close to him.

"Well I'm happy you're feeling better," Edward said before placing a soft kiss on my forehead, "How about we go back to the house?"

"That sounds wonderful," I said.

"You guys and ride in the same boat, I'll take the other one back myself," Alice said.

I turned and smiled at her. She was the bestest friend ever. We began to make our way to the dock where the boats where. Once I got into the speed boat my mind went back to what I said the day I almost drowned.

Once the seventh day is reached is when the transformation will be complete.

What was to happen tomorrow when the transformation is complete? Whatever it was I bet it would envole a lot of pain.

So I was online and I found these two pictures. One of a jungle lake and one of a underground cavern. Once I saw them I knew that those were what I pictured when Bella found them. Link for pictures is on profile. Please review.
