Chapter 3

Surprise

Dedication List for Chapter 3

To BeachGirl98- I completely understand. Sometimes, I am just out of it and I can't do anything about it. One time, my friend told me she fell in her dishwasher and I thought she was talking about shampoo! Oh, man, good times, good times...

Well, I was really upset for lack of people to dedicate this chapter to, but at least I know at least SOME people care about the Dedication List. Yep, that's all I've got to say. (for once Cici is silent...) I still love you! And I'm sorry for being so down, so to enlighten the mood, a disclaimer for the nice minions!

Disclaimer: No I do not own the Twilight characters but sometimes, when Stephanie Meyer isn't looking, I sneak them out of her office, and play with them. She thinks their just relaxing in the forest somewhere, but really their with me! (MUHAHAHAHAHA!) We play dress up, or baseball, or give Cici bruises... I have proof! There are at least 17 cuts on my fingers from trying to out-draw Alice!

Bella's POV

Before everyone else was awake, I swam to the surface. I didn't go to sleep, I didn't want to. Mermaids don't have to sleep, but it is a way to pass the time. Besides, I was forced to sleep every night at the castle/cave thing.

I looked over tho the shore and saw a few humans. They didn't smell like humans, more like rocks with perfume on. I swam over to a rock that stuck out of the ocean so it would hide my tail from view of the shore. (Little mermaid rock)

I climbed onto it and lay on my chest, my arms crossed in front of me and my chin on my forearms. I hid my tail and watched them.

There were only seven of them, but I only paid attention to one couple. There was a small girl with black hair. Who would want their hair that short? Whatever, she looked familiar somehow... oh, well. She was holding hands with a taller guy. Omigosh! He looks like the jellyfish I found in my castle one day. I named the little guy Tick, because he's always making cute little ticking noises. I keep him around my left pointer finger. I rubbed his head with my finger and he hummed, he want to tell me something? I leaned in closer to him, "Princess, why did you runaway?" He said.

I shrank down behind the rock so my waist was under water and my back was turned to the humans. I whispered back to Tick, "Because Tick, being a princess is so boring. But you wouldn't know because you have so much fun on my finger when I swim!" Tick giggled as I rubbed his head more. I looked back around and looked at the humans, but no one was there. I panicked. Did they see me? Did they hear me? I was sure I was too quiet for humans. Just in case a human came swimming, I sat back down so my waist was beneath the water and turned back into a human.

I sat there, my arms around my knees, staring out into the sunrise. I have to put Tick in the water so they don't get suspicious. Just as I got back up, I heard someone talking. And splashing. And laughing. Oh no! How am I getting out of here now? I hummed quietly to myself, trying to calm down so I can leave quietly, when I heard it.

"Bye, Edward! Hope you have fun with all the little fishies!"

"Okay, Emmett, you can leave now, please, now, leave, please...NOW!

"Okay, okay, Eddie-Boy. Don't get your pants in a twist!"

Edward's POV

"And stop calling me Eddie!" I yelled back at him. This guy, I swear, there is something wrong with him. Well, I'm already in the water and my clothes are soaking wet, might as well not take them off. I want to know where the beautiful voice was coming from. I'm the only one who heard her since I wasn't busy with a mate.

I heard a slight humming coming from behind the rock. It was so quiet, even to my ears.

I swam around to it there was a girl! She was waist deep in water and her hair and knees covered her chest, thank goodness! She was looking at me with no expression as if I come here with her all the time. Which I wouldn't mind... WHAT?!

"Hi..." I began, how am I supposed to be subtle when this angel was staring at me?

"Hello, I'm Isabella, you are?" What a beautiful name, beautiful voice.

"I'm-I'm Edward, C-Cullen," smooth Edward, "Um, h-hi," Why am I stammering so much? Maybe it's because she's NAKED! I should give her my shirt...

"Yes, hello. Well, I should be going now, but..." NO! She can't leave! Not yet! "Edward? Can you come here for a second?" Oh, I don't think that's a good idea... But, my limbs moved automatically. As if they were drawn to her, I swam closer against my will. This was not right. I need to get out of here. I cannot control my body anymore. Her eye color changed to a dark, dark navy blue as she looked into my eyes, as if searching for something.

"You won't remember who I am, if I was ever here, and now, go back home and do your natural lifestyle routine, ok?" She said quietly as her eye color changed back into its natural sky blue color. I nodded mutely, again, without my command, and swam back to shore.

Why was I here again? I dont know, but I think I should go home. Listen to some music, play my piano maybe. I smiled at my own thoughts. I sounded like a small child on a rainy day. My smile soon faltered as I realized that summer vacation would soon come to an end in two days. I ran in the direction of my house and caught up with Alice. The rest of my family were out buying school supplies. It's humiliating really. A coven of vampires buying school supplies. Before I can take the first step to my room, I heard a scream come from Alice's and Jasper's room. It made me flinch since I can hear her screaming through her mind and what was actually coming out of her mouth.

EDWARD! I can't see your future! Well, I-just-did-but-I-saw-you-in-your-meadow-but-then-y ou-disappeared-but-the-background-kept-moving-just -like-if-you-were-really-there-but-you-weren't!-Th en-you-came-out-of-the-meadow AND YOU WERE BACK AGAIN! Alice thought.

"Calm down Alice, now please repeat that because I didn't hear a word you just thought." She retold me what she just thought. "Has this ever happened before?" I asked.

"No, it hasn't. The visions either stop or gets fuzzy, those are the only two things that happen when I can't see things, but never has it just made people disappear while keep playing out. Promise me you won't go to the meadow again until we find the cause of this outrage!" She screamed to me.

For some reason this whole situation was rather amusing to me, "I promise I won't leave to the meadow any day until you say it's alright for me to go, okay?" I proposed with a smile on my lips.

"Why are you so happy today?" She caught my smile and thought it to be pretty suspicious.

"I... I have no idea. I was at the beach, then I forgot why I was there so I decided to come home. Is that a problem?" Actually, now that I think about it, it is a problem. Vampires don't forget, and why would I decide to go home?! I never choose to go home! "Oh, nevermind..."

"Did you meet anyone at the beach?" She said, eying me precariously.

"No, I-I don't think so..." was there someone there?

Yeah, I know I'm evil for doing this, leaving you on a cliff I mean. Also this chapter is rather short which just adds to my pain. But I am NOT in a happy mood. I have had at least NINE ninja migraines today and they are not gonna be done attacking until they see blood! I'm sorry, I'm just not very healthy right now. It was just Easter, and I couldn't resist all the chocolate! Oh, I feel sick.
