"Are you shitting me?" I yelled my jaw hanging.

"This is so not normal!" Alice wailed, equally shocked only she had stood up and put her small hands on her thin waist.

"Merman, huh?" Rosalie questioned her eyes wide as saucers.

We had just learned that Carlisle Cullen was half-vampire half-merman, just like our mom and all hell had broken loose as soon as the words had left Edward's mouth. His perfect, mouth with his beautiful li- wait where did that come from?

I snapped out of my thoughts as Rosalie stood up and ran to the kitchen to possibly get Esme, wait where IS Esme?

Rose came out of the kitchen with a piece of light pink stationery in her hands and her eyes flying over the words.

"Esme went to Port Angeles to look at furniture, although I have no idea why, she just said she'd be back around 5." she prattled off.

"Well, what should we do till then?" Alice asked throwing her hands in the air.

"We could play a game or something." Rosalie suggested probably referring to her 'arcade' upstairs.

"What did you have in mind?" Jasper asked.

"Well we have a game room upstairs with arcade games and sports game tables and Alice or I can put a game console of your choice and then get a bunch of games and we can chill up there until your dad calls or our mom gets back.." Rose explained.

"Sounds good to me," Emmett decided, "how 'bout you guys?" he asked Edward and Jasper. Edward nodded as did Jasper.

"Alright, well follow us upstairs and then we can get started." Alice said in her high soprano voice and then danced over to the steps and flew up them with Jasper behind her.

Rosalie and Emmett followed them shortly after and I was about to follow when I felt Edward's iron grip on my arm.

He released my arm and I turned to him sending him a questioning glance with my eyes and then opened my mouth to speak. He shook his head making his bronze locks fall into his eyes and motioned with free hand for me to follow him outside.

He took off towards the front door with me behind him almost going crazy from curiosity. Once we were outside he shut the door and rounded on me.

"Can we talk? In private?" he added pointing to the sky.

"Sure." I answered unfurling my wings, almost knocking him over in the process, and shot up into the sky.

I heard his wings snap open and soon he was flying alongside me, 300 feet in the air. I stared at the puffy gray clouds, marveling at how the water that was hidden in them rolled off my skin in thin rivulets.

"Why did you want to speak to me up here?" I asked referring to his request to have a conversation in the sky.

"I just wished to talk to you without the awkwardness of our families also being within hearing distance." he answered smoothly, not tripping over his words like a human would.

"Oh, well what did you want to talk to me about." I asked.

"I want to ask if you think there was any reason why Rosalie and Emmett are both the same creatures? Alice and Jasper? You and I? It isn't coincidental and I think you agree and I wanted to know what you thought about that." he told me without breathing.

"Oh yes, I do agree that this is no coincidence. I think it's fate, like we're all, all" I searched for the right word desperately.

"Like we are all soul mates." he finished.

"Exactly." I said, my breath whooshing out of my mouth.

"Yes, that is what I thought, but is it true?" he shook his head incredulously.

"Well, if it is true, then I guess you and I are meant to be together. If not now then later." I told him.

I thought this over and the more I examined it the more likely it seemed. I mean, why else would the people my sisters and I were attracted to just happen to be the exact same species as the person who fancied them?

Just as I finished my thought a loud scream was heard from somewhere behind us, and it came from my house. What happened? I thought as I flew at an alarmingly fast rate with Edward following easily beside me.

We reached my house and I raced through the door, up the stairs (with Edward on my heels), and into the room where my sisters and Jasper and Emmett were in.

The scene in front of me will forever be engraved in my mind. The only thought that ran through my head was, What the HELL is wrong with the world?

I know, it's crazy short, but I really wanted to post something today and it's really late so this is all I can get out. I went to the "Great Wolf Lodge" yesterday and I got back today, let me tell you, if you have heard of it go to it. That place is AWESOME! It is a humongous lodge and it has an indoor water-park. It is a crazy good time. I went with a friend and I am going again August 8th. Anyway, review and tell me your thoughts, TTFN!
