Why do you talk without knowing what you are talking about? Where were you when I created the earth? Tell me, since you know so much... Do you presume to tell me what I am doing? ... Like an open book, I watched you grow from conception to birth; all the stages of your life were spread out before me. The days of your life were all prepared before you'd even lived one day.  Now what do you have to say for yourself? Are you going to haul me, the Mighty One, into court and press charges?

Camp Willowbrook is a sleepaway camp tucked away in upstate New York. During the winter, its a barren wasteland, but come summertime its the center for heat, love, friendship, and heartbreak for teenagers from all over the country.

Bella Swan doesn't really know who she is. She really doesn't think that Camp Willowbrook will help her find out either. But when she needs an escape from her constantly arguing parents, Camp Willowbrook is just going to have to be her safe haven. Upon arriving, Bella ultimately decides that she isn't going to have any fun, isn't going to make any friends, and most of all isn't going to have a stupid summer romance. Can the guy she least expected to care be the one who changes her mind?

Edward Cullen has one goal in life. To seduce every girl that crosses his path. He only has two conditions. One- they have a heartbeat. Two- they are at least attractive enough that he doesn't feel sick just looking at them. Naturally, he's cocky, rich, arrogant, and, well...he can make anyone's panties drop just by looking at them with those stunning green eyes. Edward always gets what he wants. Period. Now, he wants Bella Swan, the one girl who has ever said no. Can Bella bring out a better person in Edward? Does the person even exist? And most importantly, can Edward stay true to her?

Alice Brandon has never really found anywhere that she really fit in...until she started coming to Camp Willowbrook. Summers are her favorite time of year because of the friends that love her for who she is, not what they think that she pretends to be. The only thing missing from Alice's life is her prince charming. And that person is not Jasper- the dark, mysterious new guy with a quesitonable past. So why is he making Alice question everything that she ever thought she wanted? And why can't Alice ever seem to stay away?

Jasper Whitlock has been through a lot. And "a lot" would be the understatement of the century. Needless to say, he's just been welcomed into the Cullen family as Edward's adopted brother. Haunted by his devestating past, Jasper beleives that he is not worthy of love. That romance was simply not possible for him. But when he meets Alice, his entire world is shaken. Can Jasper love her without hurting her? Can he keep his terrifying past that has broken him from the only one that seems to be helping him heal?

Rosalie Hale has it all. Or it seems that way. She's heart-breakingly beautiful, rich, smart, and has a line out the door of boys that would do anything just to be in her presence. But despite all this, she is still empty. Rosalie's mother left when she was three years old, and her father seems to be more interested in his business relationships and multitude of bank accounts than his own daughter. Camp Willowbrook is Rosalie's only escape into the real world. But when she comes back this year, there's a surprise waiting for her. And this surprise may be her soul mate. Pressured by a boyfriend back home who is the only thing holding the family business together, Rosalie has some decisions to make. Will she stay away from her true love in hopes that her father may finally love her? Or take the road that makes her happy and leave her upper-class life behind?

Emmett McCarty's life is pretty sweet. Being the starting quaterback for Biloxi's football team pretty much puts every single person under his spell. His small-town home is his kingdom in which he is ruler. New step-sister Alice is dragging him to sleepaway-camp this summer, and for the first time, Emmett thinks he finds something permanent in a girl. But can he make the girl of his dreams fall for him? Is Emmett really as carefree as he seems? And after camp, can he make his life ever be right again?

There's only one thing that can be said. This summer is one they won't soon forget.

"Camp is a magical place. It's the one place that you can be who you are without being judged. And even if you are judged, it's hardly likely that you will care. You will find friends that last a lifetime. You will learn from mistakes. You will find your very first love. And you will have the time of your life in the process." -Esme Cullen

Bella has been a vampire for decades and is remembering her father, Charlie.

One shot - Edward and Bella have been best friends their whole lives. But what happens when Bella is tired of being Edward's fall back and wants more?

Edward once told Bella that he'd turned Tanya down in "as gentlemanly a manner as possible." That's not exactly how it went. Twenty hours before the biggest party of the century, and Emmett is dealing with Edward. Support Stacie challenge response.

Mary Alice Brandon was born in Biloxi, Mississippi sometime during 1901. She had lived with a small family, an adoring little sister, and a power to see into the future- a power which eventually put her in a mental asylum. Elliot, an assistant physican and a vampire, grew very attatched to Alice. Over the course of one year the two formed a very strong relationship. Until the day another vampire caught sight of her. James, realizing immediately how much Elliot adored Alice, decided to make her his new prey. Elliot knew of James' plans and took Alice away from the asylum, changing her just in time to keep her safe from James. But by doing this he payed his own life and left Alice on her own to find her way and to find herself again. This is what Alice has forgotten.
