His Mermaid || Edward Cullen / H2O

Edward Cullen was left devastated by Bella Swan's infidelity, having found her tangled up in the sheets with her best friend, Jacob Black. Nearly two decades later, and he was still reeling from the effects. He was numb, speaking only when spoken to and counting leaves in his spare time, which, according to him, all his time was 'spare'.

But what happens when the Cullens find themselves moving to the Gold Coast of Australia? What happens when Edward notices a certain blue-eyed, golden-haired girl who shares the same name as the girl that broke his heart all those years ago? What happens when he finds himself drawn to the charming, mysterious girl, despite his best efforts to steer clear of her?

What happens when he comes to find out that Bella Hartley and her friends share a secret of their own?

What happens... when vampires and mermaids collide?

"You're so... secretive," Edward mumbled bitterly, shaking his head in obvious annoyance.

I narrowed my eyes at him on reflex, growing tired of his sour expression and biting comments.

"You're one to talk," I quipped, folding my arms across my chest and resorting to staring out the window, ignoring his incessant, curious stare.
