Bella swam through the water. She always enjoyed swimming, but not this time. She was slightly annoyed by her new family, who were clearly not as comfortable on land as in the water. Bella had to wait for them constantly, so every few hours she hunted down some sharks or other animals. Emmet wanted to do that as well, but Rosalie managed to talk him out of that idea. She understood how hard it was for Bella to just wait while she wanted to run to Edward as fast as possible.
After a few hours Bella finally saw the shore. She stopped herself from accelerating, knowing that way she only had to wait longer for the others, and instead swam back to her friends to tell them how close they were. Alice screamed excitedly. She hated swimming, and Bella had started to get very agitated because she couldn't stop wining about her cloths.
Rosalie took her hand to reassure her. Bella looked back at her and smiled, and Rose said;
"We will find him, you know. I bet that he will come running to you as fast as he can when he hears you are in England!" The girls laughed. Then Emmet decided to ruin the moment again.
"Yeah, I truly hope so! It would be so cool to wrestle with a mind reader for a change! Ouch!" Rosalie had slapped him on his head, rolling her eyes at Bella. Bella laughed again.
"Come on, we have to go south to find the family I told you about!" Carlisle said, and everyone immediately followed him. Bella started to accelerate until she ran beside Carlisle. Though she wasn't as fast as Edward, she was faster then most other vampires.
They had run for a few hours when Bella finally saw the house of Carlisle's friends. She remembered what Carlisle had told her on the journey. Their names were Siobhan, Liam and Maggie, and they were Irish, but left Ireland during the rebellions in 1798. "Siobhan and Liam are mates, and Liam is very protective about his two friends." Carlisle wasn't sure, but he suspected Siobhan's power was to influence a situation through his willpower. Maggie was able to tell if someone spoke the truth.
Bella didn't realise they already stood right in front of their door until someone, given her red hair probably Maggie, opened the door. She smiled to Carlisle, and then turned to Bella.
"You must be Bella, I'm Maggie. I am so unbelievable sorry! We tried to talk to him, but he already vanished before we reached him. He is really fast, you know." Bella smiled. A new piece of evidence proving it was indeed Edward.
"Thank you so much for contacting us! And I understand you couldn't stop him, he always was really stubborn, so if he wanted to go, he would go. And there is no vampire in the world as fast as Edward. At least, on land, he never was such a great swimmer." Bella realised she was babbling, and quickly shut up. She smiled once more to Maggie, and realised that two new vampires were standing behind her now. That had to be Siobhan and Liam.
Her assumption was confirmed when Carlisle greeted them both, and introduced Bella and Jasper to them. They already knew the others. None of them wanted to waste any time, and they quickly went to the forest, to the last place where they had seen Edward. Bella corrected herself. She didn't want to get to much hope. That way, if it wasn't Edward, it would hurt only more. So they went to the last place where they saw the vampire who might be Edward.
"He stood right over here, and the dear lay over there." Siobhan pointed to the places while she was speaking, and Bella ran over to them, trying to smell the scent of the vampire. She inhaled deeply, and tried it again. And again. After a few times she was absolutely sure she wasn't mistaken. She smiled broadly. And Rosalie clapped in her hands.
"I told you we were going to find him! I told you!" She suddenly sounded a lot like Alice, and Bella laughed out loud. Edward was in England, that she was absolutely sure about. She also knew for sure that, wherever he was, she was going to find him. And there was no way she was going to let him go after that.
"Edward!" she whispered in her thoughts, "I'm coming for you! I promise."
