Chapter 1: We're Going on Vacation

-Bella's POV-

Jasper had Emmett beat. It was actually pretty funny. They had been play fighting and Jasper easily beat Emmett even though Emmett was stronger. Alice ran up to Jasper and hugged him. We were all outside the Cullen house laughing and suddenly the Cullens stopped laughing. They all looked to the forest.

Out came a tall boy wearing only pants. He seemed familiar, but I couldn't place from where. "What do you want dog?" Edward stood protectively in front of me.

"You… your help." He seemed as though he didn't want to ask.

"Help with what?" Carlisle asked.

"Recently I went on a spirit walk." Most of the Cullens rolled their eyes and looked annoyed. I wasn't the only one who noticed. "Just because you might not believe in them they are real. Anyway while on this spirit walk I saw…" He seemed almost as though he was in disbelief. "Werewolves, real werewolves, attacking humans."

"That's impossible. The Volturi hunted down all the real werewolves. The only wolves left are in your tribe." Jasper told the tall boy. Now I was really confused. What was going on?

"Look these werewolves are killing humans and my pack can't go and stop them." The tall boy seemed to yell. "We were wondering if you would go to Australia and track them down."

"Hold on a minute." Carlisle had us all walk to the side. "Well what does everyone think?"

"Even if the wolves thing isn't true it would be fun to get out of here for a while. I could take Bella shopping in Australia." Alice said and Edward growled. "Don't even fight it Edward. If we're going she's coming too."

"Of course I would go," I said which probably gave my vote to go too. Edward looked at me.

"If it's true we get to kick some dog butt," Emmett said which made it a yes.

"I say we check it out." Jasper also answered.

"It would be a waster of time," Rosalie said.

"I'm agreeing with Rose. Let's not go." Edward answered.

"I think we should check it out.' Esme said.

"I'm for it too. I don't put much money behind spirit walks, but we should check it out even if it's just to inform the Volturi." Carlisle said and that was it we were going.

"I still say Bella shouldn't come." Okay Edward sometimes gets on my nerves.

"Oh come on Eddie, she's family. Besides if we leave her here we might come back to find her dead. With the way she is she'll be hit by a car without us here to protect her." That seemed to win Edward over. Thank you Emmett.

Carlisle walked back over to the boy. "We'll go."

"This is the location." The boy handed Carlisle a piece of paper and then I remembered where I saw him. He was the boy at La Push. Jacob said his name was… Sam. The boy changed into a huge wolf and ran off into the forest. "Go home and tell Charlie you're going. We'll get plane tickets for tomorrow."

-Next Day-

Charlie had no problem with me leaving. He seemed to think I needed a vacation and he just loved the Cullens. The next morning Edward picked me up and we got on the plane. The ride was pretty nice and when we got to the airport in Australia Carlisle got three cars with blacken windows.

"Where are we going?" I asked Edward as we were in the car.

"We did some research into the area while you were asleep. There's an island that no one goes to. We're going to park the cars and go there. Can't be seen in daylight you know."

"There it is," Alice pointed out. She and Jasper were in this car with us. "That's Mako Island." I looked out into the ocean. There was Mako Island.

"How are we going to get there?" I asked when Edward parked the car in a parking lot near the water.

Edward smiled and picked me up. He ran and jumped into the water faster then a human eye could see. He started to swim with me on his back. In maybe a minute or less we were on the beach of Make Island with me coughing out water. "Some warning would have been nice." I looked at Edward. He was so beautiful in the sun.

Alice, Jasper, and the other started to appear with our bags. We walked around a bit and found a place to put up a tent for me. The rest of the day we spent playing around in the water and having fun.

"Tonight's a full moon. We're going to go looking around for the wolves." Edward told me. "You'll be safe by yourself." I nodded and gave him a kiss.

As soon as it got dark my love and his family left to look for the wolves. I was board so I decided to look around the island. I started to climb up a hill and only tripped a few times. The sight was beautiful as the moon started to rise. I got to a point where there was water in-between to rocks. To get to the other side I'd have to jump.

I walked back. There was no way I was making that jump. As I was walking back I fell down a hole. When I got to the bottom I looked up. It would be too hard to climb up. I checked my legs and found I was lucky that nothing was broken.

I stood up and started to walk. I needed to find away out of here. I came to a place where there was a little pool. I looked up. I was inside a volcano. I turned around still looking up and took a step back. I ended up falling into the water. I screamed in surprise and then laughed. I swam into the middle of the pool and floated on my back looking up. Edward didn't know it, but I was a pretty good swimmer.

The full moon started to move over the top of the volcano. When it got to the top the water around me started to glow. I looked around shocked, as everything around me seemed to glow. What was going on? Then suddenly the glowing stopped! I looked around, but there was nothing.

"Bella," I heard Edward yelling. He ran into the little pool area. "Bella, what are you doing?"

"Exploring," I said figuring not to mention the strange light. It was probably just something to do with the moon.

Edward laughed and held out his hands to me. I got out of the moon pool and let Edward pick me up and run me back to camp. Everyone was back and sitting around a fire. They were looking at me. "So how did the wolf search go?"

"We didn't find them, but we did smell them," Emmett answered. "The dog was right."

"Bella, you better get dry clothes on," Alice said and dragged me into the tent. After getting on my pajamas I fell to sleep in the sleeping bag.

The next morning when I woke up Edward already had breakfast ready for me. I ate and the changed into my clothes. We all went down to the beach. "Bells, I got a question?" I looked at Emmett. "What did you do sleep in a pile of fish?"

"What?" I asked confused.

"You smell like fish," Emmett cleared it up for me.

"Must have something to do with the pool you went into last night. The smell is overpowering your normal smell." Edward told me.

"Yeah, Bella, you should take a bath." I rolled my eyes and a wave came up onto the beach and got my feet wet.

"There is noth…" Whatever I was going to stay was stopped and forgotten when I suddenly fell over. It's not unusual for me to trip, but when I looked down at myself my legs weren't there anymore. There was a fin instead. I looked like a mermaid!

All the Cullens looked at me. "Well, that's interesting." Carlisle said to break the silence. Yeah, really interesting.

AN: Well there's the first chapter. Rikki, Cleo, and Emma come in next chp. So Review.
