" Alice." I called from downstairs for about the zillionth time. We were at Alice's house ( or mansion) waiting for her to finish getting ready for our beach trip. And she was taking forever. I glanced at my watch. 11:12. Great Jesus! We had arrived at Alice's house at around 9: 45! I'd estimated it would take about fifteen minutes to get ready. But then again this was Alice we were talking about.

Rosalie lounged on the couch while watching Americas Next Top Model.( If Rose competed in that show she would sooo win). Rose was wearing a red one piece. But I'd never seen a one piece with such little material but she totally rocked the outfit without being skimpy. Amazingly it was sunny outside today and she didn't have to wear anything over it to keep warm.

" Bella have some patience." Alice said calmly as she descended the stairs in a cute hot pink bikini with a see through net dress draped over her body hanging to her knees. The girl had taste. Alice gasped taking in my appearance. " Please tell me your joking."

I glanced down at my outfit. I was wearing my black one peice with blue guy trunks over it. " What?" I said befuddled.

" O my god. Your not wearing that Bella!" Alice said sternly grabbing me by the arm and dragging me in front of Rose. Rose's jaw dropped. Oh come on! It wasn't that bad! " Look at what she has on Rose!"

" Bella we really need to take you bikini shopping." Rose said sadly, eyeing my out fit. " You cant be seen in public wearing that."

" Don't worry! I have just the thing for you to wear for now!" Alice said excitedly dragging me upstairs.

Alice's closet was huge. Bigger then my entire room. It was a walk through and neatly organized. Alice took me to the back end.

" Your smaller then Rose but a bigger then me" she murmured reaching into one of her shelves and grabbing something. She pulled it out and held it up in front of my face. I blushed

" Alice! There is no way I'm wearing that!!" I gasped.

She smiled, her eyes twinkling mischievously. " The hell you are."

I couldn't stop thinking about the human girl!

My every thought revolved around her. Ever since I'd saved her that one fateful day I couldn't get her out of my mind.

I'd seen humans from a distance. But never up close. I wasn't reckless like my brothers, Emmett and Jasper. I followed the rules. Sirena ( mermen and women) weren't allowed to make their presence known to human world. If they did then the Volturi, an Italian clan of sirenas, were sure to take them out. The only time sirenas came in contact with humans was when they weer feeding. Meaning no human lived to tell stories.

Our clan the, the Cullen clan, were the second largest clan ( Vulturi being the largest). Most sirenas or merpeople traveled as nomads, in pairs. Our clan was made up of Carlisle our leader, Esme his mate, Emmett, Jasper, Tanya, Irina, and myself.

Our clan was different from other merpeople.

Different from the Volturi or anyone else.

We were vegetarians ( Our little inside joke). Not in the sense that we didn't eat meat because we did eat meat. All kinds od small fish but that we didn't eat humans. Most sirenas hated humans for polluting the water and causes other such harms to our earth. Tanya and Irina hated humans. Yet they remained apart of our clan, not feeding on the humans. They most likely stayed apart of our clan for the same reason as me. We viewed it as immoral.

So we kept our distance from the humans. I'd never been as closes to a human as I was three months ago. They weren't ugly creatures the way I'd presumed they would be. In fact the girl was beautiful. Perhaps all humans were beautiful and that's the reason why Emmett and Jasper had fallen so deeply in love with two.

That one day when I'd saved the brown eyed human I didn't know what I was thinking. La Push beach was strictly off limits to merpeople yet when I heard the human dying in the water I couldn't just ignore it. Sirenas have extra senses and can tell when an animal or human is dying. It's one of the reasons that sirenas can catch such easy prey.

Through the meerky water I'd spotted her not to far away. She was struggling in the water paddling for her dear life. I noticed the long milky legs, instantly warning me she was not one of us. I knew with legs she would never be able to survive the currents. Humans were just to weak.

She was being pushed further and further toward the jagged rocky ocean floor. Later on I'd convinced myself this was the reason I'd rescued her. If she'd hit the rocky floor her blood was sure spread through the water. Sirenas don't have a problem containing there hunger around humans. But since we are originally dissidents from sharks when blood gets into the water it starts a frenzy.

I thrashed my tail ( Note: Not a doggy tail a fishy tail!)and swam quickly to the girl. I slowed then as I approached her. She wasn't ghastly and hideous the way the stories sad. She was beautiful I thought as I noticed an expression on her face. She looked calm and peaceful. She's stopped swimming and was letting the currents take the her. Was that small smile on her lips. She was about die and she was smiling! Humans were strange creatures.

At that moment her eyes flashed open greeting me with two perfect brown orbs. She looked shocked. I grabbed her with determination to save this girls life and shot to the surface. Half way to the surface she grew limp in my arms. We broke through the surface and I swam to shore. From the sky there came water. Rain as the humans called it. She felt so fragile in my arms. I set her down carefully on the beach. She was breathing lightly with her delicate chest rising up and down slowly. I pulled my self closer to her for a better look at her face. She had long brown hair with bit of see weed in it. Her lips were full and serious.

My fin began to tingle. I glanced down and noticed that it was turning pale from being out of the water. If I stayed out of the water for a few more minutes I'd have full blown legs. This normal for any merperson. You stay out of the water to long you get legs. Stay for about mabeye 12 hours then it's permanent and your a human. Only once in the history of merpeople did someone turn into a human. But no merperson in their right mind would want to become human. HUmans. The things that polluted our water and damaged our earth.

My eyes trailed down the rest of her body. She was wearing this strange black material. It was so odd how humans wore things to cover their body! Merpeople didn't wear clothes! Women had long hear to cover their breast and men wore nothing. My eyes trailed over her legs. If I were looking at her from her torso up and she didn't have those ridiculous clothes on, I wouldn't have been able to tell she was a human. My hand extended forward with out my consent a gently brush my hand against one leg. She twitched. I jerked back and quickly flopped back into the water. I swam far out then turned around to get one lat look at her. I wish I knew her name.

" Bella!" a male called from the didtance.

Bella. It was a beautiful name.

She was awake. And looking straight at me. I stared back unable to look away.

Then the male who'd called her came into view. A La Push boy!! A disgusting La Push dog! And I was their stinking territory. Bella turned around and I dove under the water and began to swim back to the Cullenial beach. The La Push animal knew I was there. Well he'd better thank me for savings his friends life!

Her name stayed in my head for the next three months. Bella. I couldn't stop thinking of her and her beautiful brown eyes.

" Edward!" the sound of my name being called snapped me out of my thoughts. I was lounging on a rock in the Cullenial Beach enjoying the rare sunlight. Our territory. Humans played on the other half of the beach not to far away but I remained perfectly out of sight. I looked down to see Jasper and Emmett in the water.

" Dude! We called you like three times!" I hated when they tried to talk like humans using words like dude.

" What do you want?" I grumbled laying back on my rock resting my arm over my eyes.

" Alice and Rose are here!" Emmett said. Like I cared. I was just going to turn a blind eye to them and there little shenanigans.

" And this means what to me? " I said.

" Come on Ed, we want you to meet them! They are really great if you give them a chance!" Jasper said pulling himself on top of the rock by my side. Yeah go and meet a human! AS if.

Then a thought came to me. What if these humans could help me find Bella. I'd never mentioned Bella to Jasper or Emmett before and I wasn't planning to but I could always as their little girlfriends.

I groaned as if I'd finally given in and said " Fine then." Jasper clapped by back aprecitivley and dove gracefully back into the water.

" Bella do you have sun block on?" Alice asked. I rolled my eyes.

" Yes, mother." I said.

" Good girl!" Alice said patting my head as if I were a dog. We had just arrived and settled down. All three of us layed side by on the beach with a towel under us. The sun beamed over us making me hope that perhaps I could finally get a tan.

" You know what, I'm thirsty, I'm going to go the bar. You guys want anything?" I announced standing up.

" I'm good" Rose said placing sunglasses on to cover her blue eyes.

" Oooh. Bella can you get me a lemonade please!!" Alice said.

I nodded, grabbed my purse and trotted off to the beach Bar little far off. The place reminded me of that Rico's shack from Hannah Montana. There were a few people on stools eating and drinking while they enjoyed the days heat. I quickly slipped into a bathroom in the back of the bar. Once the door closed behind me I dug in my purse for my sunblock. Ok. So I'd forgot to put on sunblock. Big deal I thought as I looked at my reflection. I couldn't help but blush as I looked at the silly out fit Alice had forced me into. If you could call the small blue bikini an out fit. I definitely looked as if was trying to hard. Alice had insisted that I was being silly but I knew better! I smeared sun block all over my body quickly. Then closing the cap I stepped out of the bathroom to order our drinks.

A teenage Asian boy was operating the stand by himself. He looked a little familiar. Erick Yorkie, I suddenly remembered his name was. Oh great someone I knew would see me in this ridiculous bikini!

" Hey Bella, lookin good." Erick greeted with a wink.

I blushed suddenly uncomfortable. " Um thanks. Can I have two lemonades, please?" I said pulling out my money and sliding it to him.

" Sure thang" He said, expertly whipping up two cups from under the bar and filling them with lemonade. " Here you go. Oh and" he leaned in as if he were going to tell me something top secret. " Since your so cute I'll give you the second one free" he sleekly slided me my money back.

" Er, thanks Erick." He grinned, no doubt because I'd remembered his name. I wanted to leave but then he started chatting with me about weird stuff. ( Stuff like how to beat level six on Halo 3). I glanced at my watch. Holy crow! I'd just spent like half an hour listening to him! Making a quick escape I hurried back to the beach while trying not spill the drinks. Leave it to a klutz like me to trip in sand.

I slowed down as I approached Alice and Rosalie, all previous embarrassment forgotten as I noticed three guys and joined them. They were smiling like they all knew each other.

What the hell?

" You know what I'm thirsty" Bella announced. " I'm going to go the bar. You guys want anything?" This was a perfect chance!

" Im good." Rose said.

" Oooh. Bella can you get me a lemonade please!!" I said. I'd already packed us plenty of cool drinks but I was going to use this chance to go fetch the boys.

She nodded and trotted off. After she was out of ear shot I stood up dusted myself and grabbed my bag. " You stay hear Rose, I'm going to go get the Jaz and Emmett."

" Are we going to tell her?" Rose asked.

" We'll take it slowly and let her figure it out n her own"

I hurried off. There was a rocky edge that divided the beach in two. The part for the beach goers and the part that was strictly off limits to people. That was were I was going.I skipped into the brush now out of site. I rounded the huge rock divider making my way to no mans land. My eyes traveled around the wonderful beach. This was truly the more beautiful of the two beaches. It remained untouched by humans. Rose and I had found it about a year ago when we were boating. That was when we had met Jaz and Em. I scanned the ocean for the two. I instantly found them and noticed the had brought a third person. I jogged down to the shore of the beach.

" Hey Al!" Jasper called. I waved excitedly.I quickly dug through my bag for the trunks I'd brought for them. I tossed them far out into the air and watched with a grin as Jasper and Emmett soared out of the water like gracefull dolphins to catch them skillfully.

" Who's your friend Jaz?" I asked as I walked into the water to meet up with them. On Jasper's right was a teenage merman with green eyes that were slowly fading into a gold color. All meraids eyes turned gold when out of the water just the way there flippers turn to legs. However those mermaids that weren't " vegetarians", there eyes turned red. I'd never actually seen one before though.

" This is Edward, our brother" Jasper announced. " Edward this is Alice"

" Hello Edward" I greeted excitedley. I held out my hand for him to shake but he stared at it puzzled. He glanced at his brothers.

" Sorry, Edward doesn't spend much time around humans Alice, you'll have to be slow with him" Emmett said grinning at Edward.

I smiled at him and then suddenly remembered I'd only brought two trunks. " Actually guys, I only brought two trunks so.." I trailed off remembering the hideous trunks that I'd snatched off Bella and shoved into my bag. I suppose they were only hideous on a girl but not a guy. I quickly dug through my bag then pulled out the blue trunks.

" Here you go Edward! You can were my friend's. She wont need them." I said as I tossed them at him. He plucked them out of the air and began to examine them. Had he never seen pants before?

" You brought her?" Jaz asked surprised. I'd been telling him about Bella for a while and how I wanted to introduce him to her but he had never actually met her. I nodded vigorously.

" Alright! More humans to mess with!" Emmett boomed

" What do I do with them?" Edward asked. He was holding the pants upside down.

I giggled. " You'll have to ask your brothers for help without." I glanced at my watch. Bella would be back any second.

" Hey guys I've got to get back but you can just meet us there when your ready" I said. I gave Jasper a quick kiss and hurried back to the other beach.

I collapsed on the sand next to Alice and her friend, as my wobbly legs gave out. It had been hard enough for me to walk just a few steps but traveling all the way to other beach was extremeley tiring. Of course Jasper and Emmett had no problem because they weer so used to using human legs. As for me, it had been my first time to attempt to walk. Not to mention the "trunks" kept riding up.

It was strange being around so many humans. They were everywhere. Swimming in the water, laying on the sand, jogging,tossing flying disk that Emmett called Frisbees. It was like I was surrounded.

" Hey Rose this is Edward our brother." Emmett greeted a blond in red material.

" Hello Edward" she greeted, holding out her hand the way the human with black hair had. I sat up.

"Hello" I said, this time shaking it. The feeling of her skin was no different from the feeling of a mermaids skin, I noted.

" Congratulations Edward, you just touched you first human." Emmett said. Alice and Jasper chuckled.

" Oh hey Bella!" Alice greeted someone behind me.

Bella!?

I spun around to see a brunette human in a bit of blue material approaching us.

It was her!

The human girl!

Bella!

She plopped down on a towel next to Alice handing her a yellow beverage.

" Hey guys, who's your friends?" Bella asked glancing at us. Her eyes passed my face as if I were another stranger she didn't know. Did she remember me? It didn't seem like she did. Even if she did remember me she probably wouldn't recognize me now. My eyes were a different color now and my hair was dried from the sun. Not to mention when she first saw me we were under water, and human eyes cant see well under water the way a Sirenas can.

" This is Emmett my boyfriend" Rose said pointing to Emmett. " This is Jasper Alice's boyfriend" Pointing to Jasper" and this is Edward their brother" she pointed to me.

" Hello" she greeted shyly. Then she studied my face for a second. Was there a chance that she recognized me!?

" Do I know you?" she asked me.

Emmett snorted." That's very unlikely." then he glanced at Jasper and I.

" Er, were not from around here Bella" Jasper said.

Bella nodded, her eyes still on my face.

Things had turned out better then I could have ever dreamed. I'd planned to ask Alice or Rosalie if they knew Bella, yet they had handed her to me on a silver platter!

But then at that moment I caught sent of something.

Something unbeileivabley foul!

A La Push dog!

Here! On our territory!

The scales on my neck bristled. In that moment Jasper, Emmett, and I were all on our feet at once , hunched over in preditorial I caught sight of him. That same La Push boy I'd seen earlier with Bella.

He was sprinting with two other La Push boys on his falnks.

And he was headed straight for us... or Bella
