Previously...

I slid back in the water and swam out to the middle were it was at its deepest. For a moment I let myself believe that we weren't stuck in the middle of nowhere, and that we weren't slowly running out of food. I sunk completely under the water and rested near the bottom. I closed my eyes and felt the water surround me and slowly release all tension within my body.

My thoughts were interrupted quickly when something moved over my thigh. I snapped my eyes open and gasped. A cloud of bubbles released from my mouth as I pushed myself through the surface of the water. Alice and Rose's face snapped towards me as I gasped.

"What is it!" they both asked together.


And Now...

"FISH!" I screamed to them, they both looked at me as though I was growing two heads.

"There are fish here!" I shouted again, I quickly sunk back under the water and saw a whole school of fish swimming around me. There were enough there to feed all of us, even Emmett, and that's saying something. I pushed back out of the water and saw Rose and Alice's heads break the surface of the water, and they looked just as excited as I did.

"Oh my god did you see how many there were!" Alice chimed.

"We need something to catch them with!" Rose said looking around the bank of the river. I followed her actions and looked around for something pointy.

"How about a net or something?" Alice asked.

"Perfect, but do you have one in that trusty bag of yours?" I laughed as her smile disappeared.

"Well, what can we use?" she asked.

I saw a stick that looked strong enough not to bend. I waded through the water and reached over the grassed bank and grabbed it. Yep, definitely a good choice - now all I needed was something to strike the fish with. I looked around I needed the perfect rock, no sharper than that, it needed to be like a spear.

"Hey Bells, what about these?" I looked over to Alice and saw her holding up a pair of barber scissors...

"Alice, are you planning to cut your hair while we were hiking?" I questioned her.

"Ha – ha, no it was in case I needed to make my pants shorts, or for an emergency like this one." She walked towards Rose and handed them to her, who then passed them to me. I poked my fingers through the holes and snapped them open and closed.

"Perfect, now all we need is something to tie them to the stick and were all set." We all looked around again trying to find anything. Twine would be excellent right now, but I don't think that Alice has that in her handy bag.

"I've got cotton?" Alice asked holding up a small sewing kit.

"Not strong enough." I shook my belt.

We all looked around our surroundings and came up with nothing. That was until Rose gasped.

"Oh my belt!" Rose shouted, she all but bolted to the end of the bank and unthreaded her thin pink belt from her shorts and threw it too me. It was perfect, not too thick and not too long.

I wrapped the belt around the scissors and welded them together, turning a simple belt, stick and scissors into the perfect spear. I dove down under the water and waited for the school of fish to swim past me and then I struck.

BAM!

"I GOT IT!" I broke through the surface of the water holding the spear in the air. The medium sized fish flapped around on the scissors.

"Oh my god, Bella, you did it!" Alice called out to me.

"Fuck yeah," Rose yelled throwing her arms into the air. I pulled the fish of the scissors and threw the fish onto the bank and dove down to get more.

By the end of our little bath session we ended up having around fifteen fish lying on the bank. I think the other fish finally realised that there was danger here and swam back downstream to get away from my ninja skills. Alice had washed all of our clothes and our old ones and laid them out on the rock to dry. We would have clean clothes for the next few days.

"Oi bitches our clothes are done!"Alice announced. Rose and I looked out at each other and laughed. I hadn't had this much fun with girls, well since ever. I always found them so boring, but not Alice and Rose they were awesome. I could really see them as sisters, rather than friends. They were loyal and trustworthy and best of all they actually got on well with my brothers.

"Well Miss Lady vs. Wild, I believe you have conquered dinner for one night." Rose high fived me as we wadded towards the bank.

"Lady, I think Vixen would be more appropriate. Don't you think?" Alice laughed handing us both a bottle of water.

"So where'd you learn to fish like that?" Rose asked ringing out her hair.

"My dad, he was pretty much the guru on fishing and anything outdoorsy." I laughed at the memories of my father coming home with an entire esky filled with fish. It would last for weeks the amount of fish we had. I handed Rose the drink bottle and she shook it and drank the remaining gulps of it.

"Were out of water," Rose groaned and screwed the cap back on. We needed fresh water. We needed water more than we would need food. We could boil the river water but I really don't know how clean it would be, even after we attempt to boil it.

"Ali you got anything in there to dig a hole?" I questioned. She looked back at her back and then shook her head.

"No but there's a pretty spade-ish looking rock over here," she lifted up a small spade like rock and waved it in the air.

"It could work." I shrugged, and if all else fails I have two hands. Then again, Alice would probably kill me for getting my hands and my nails dirty.

"What's it for?" Rose asked while slipping out of the water.

"Water, we need to refill the water bottles." She nodded but didn't quite get it.

"If you dig a whole deep enough and then place a container or something to gather water with in the hole, then cover the over with glad wrap, but I think a t-shirt would suffice. Then you leave it overnight and then dew builds up and drips into the container." I smiled as Rose held her hand out to help me out of the water.

"And the water is drinkable?" she asked and handed me my old clothes. We dried ourselves off using an old shirt and a top, than put on our clean clothes.

"Definitely, and you would be surprised to see how much you can gather." I laughed as I threw the old singlet at her. Alice was dressed first and helped me get dresses again. I tried to tell her that after the bath my body felt better, but she wouldn't hear of it. She kept saying something along the lines of 'the eye of the storm'.

After we were dressed and gathered all the fish up, we made our way back to a clear spot just a few meters away from the river and set up camp. Alice had all the tents set up, while Rose worked on getting the fire ready. And lucky me, I was left with gutting and scaling the fish. Regardless I was the only one who had caught a fish let alone cleaned one before.

The entire time the three of us had big wide smiles on our faces, we were proud and we weren't going to hide it. Once they were all cleaned and ready to cook I speared them all with sticks and stuck them in the fire, rotating them every few minutes making sure that they cooked evenly.

"Hey ladies, how was your bath?" Emmett asked walking towards us. Alice and Rose quickly stood up and walked towards me as we stood in front of the fire, blocking our achievements.

"Hey, what's that smell?" Emmett's nose was in the air. Man he had a nose like a bear!

"Um well did you guys find anything for dinner?" Alice said with a tiny pout on her lips, playing it up completely. We noticed that the boys were only carrying small pieces of branches but that was it. No food what so ever.

"Sorry girls, we only found a few berries but we weren't sure if they we edible or not." Jasper said looking at Alice apologetically. I knew that Jasper hated feeling helpless, or worse even, he hated letting someone down, especially a girl.

"God never send a man to do a woman's job." Rose fake raged and turned to wink at me. I caught on quickly to her little game.

"Yeah, aren't you 'men' meant to be 'one with the wild." I rolled my eyes at them and crossed my arms over my chest. They all looked down at their feet ashamed for not being able to provide for their women.

Rose, Alice and I looked at each other trying so hard not to burst out laughing. Alice nodded, telling me we should probably let them off the hook.

"Well, seeing as you boys were running around playing nature all afternoon…" I emphasised on the word boys and they all flinched slightly. Edward was about to interject when I stepped in.

"Well… us superior females gathered dinner." We broke away from the fire revealing the roasting dinner we had hidden behind our backs.

Buying a round of drinks at the bar, one hundred dollars. Buying dinner for you partner, fifty dollars. The look on those partners faces right now, utterly priceless.

"YOU ARE AMAZING!" Emmett practically ran to me, picking me up in his signature bear hug and squeezed me tightly. He kissed my check and then dropped me, moving onto Alice, she squealed and then he dropped her and moved to Rose.

"You are the women of my life!" he declared to her. She giggled as he wrapped his arms around her and locked lips with hers. I looked away to give them some privacy only to see Jasper locking lips with Alice. I internally groaned and turned my attention to the Greek god walking towards me with the greatest of all smiles planted on his face.

"Well aren't you Miss outback?" he smiled down at me and picked me up. I instantly wrapped my legs around his waist and placed my arms around his neck.

"Oh yes, I'm all there is nature." I smiled at him, leaning in for a kiss. As soon as our lips met I felt the sparks fly, the tingles through my body. I moaned into his mouth. My hands wrapped through his hair pulling him closer to me. I felt his arms tighten around my body, our bodies moulding together.

We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We pulled back slightly only to see everyone looking at us. Edward didn't break eye contact with me but smiled none the less.

"Yes?" he asked smirking slyly at me.

"Am I going to barf before I eat?" Emmett asked. I rolled my eyes and starred back at Edward. I couldn't help it, I leant in and our lips met again.

"Bella, come on I'm hungry!" I heard Emmett wine again. Edward pulled back and rested his forehead on mine.

"So am I," he whispered seductively, I knew he didn't mean food. I felt my whole body shiver and he saw it to.

"Later," he whispered again. He placed me back down on the ground and we walked back over to the food. We divvied up the food, not equally I might add. Emmett had five fish to himself. Edward and Jasper had three each, Rose and Alice had one each and I had two, and yet we still had three left.

"Oh god girls that was amazing!" Jasper moaned popping the last piece of fish in his mouth. We discussed the idea of the collecting water overnight and we all agreed it was a good idea. Emmett dug a deep enough whole within a few minutes and we had a small cooking pot placed at the bottom. Jasper had sacrificed his sleeping bag for the appeal of having fresh water.

There was a non-awkward silence around the campfire, I was lying next to Edward, Alice next to Jasper and Rose next to Emmett. If we were stuck in the middle of nowhere, I would say that this would be a fantastic day – but I couldn't say that.

Edward had sat behind me most of the night and needed his magic fingers through my tight muscles and applied Jasper's magic gel over my bruises.

"Guys..." I heard a soft whispered. We all looked up and saw Rose looking at all of us.

"What are we going to do?" She whimpered as Emmett wrapped his arms around her, comforting her. I noticed a small tear roll down her cheek.

Okay now this silence was awkward. We all knew what she was thinking, she was thinking about the things we had all tried so hard to repress into the back of our minds. But there really was no escaping it.

I felt Edward's arms pull me closer to him, this is what I needed, I needed to feel safe, and I needed to feel that everything was alright. Even though in the back of my mind I knew that we weren't, we were far from - everything will be okay.

"I think we should try and head down the mountain," Jasper spoke up.

There was another silence, we were all thinking about travelling down the mountain. We knew we had to, but we had no idea which way was the right way and which way was going to get us more lost than we already were. Or worse yet, lead us deeper into the forest.

"We need to make sure that we're heading in the right direction, though." Jasper spoke. We all nodded. We all stayed silent for the rest of the night. Everyone knew what was going to happen tomorrow, we all had thousands of thoughts running through our minds, thousands of different theories that would either be to our advantage or disadvantage.

I stared up at the cloudless sky, it was starting to get dark now. The first star appeared above me and sparkled to me. I couldn't help but sigh it remembered the song my dad used to sing to me on nights like this.

Star light,
Star bright,
First star,
I see tonight.

I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish,
I wish tonight...

I all but whispered out my poem and stared up at the single star. It was shining brighter than anything else above me. I wished that we could get out of here, to be back at home in my warm bed, with Edward holding me safely in his arms.

"THAT'S IT!" I shot up to my feet and screamed out. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. What was with everyone thinking I was crazy today?

"Bells, what's wrong?" Edward started to panic. I turned to him and laughed. I could hardly control my excitement any more.

"Don't you see. The answer has been right in front of us all this time!" I screamed out, I looked back at Jasper. He should have seen this. I should have seen it sooner.

"Bells are you okay?" Alice asked sceptically, looking at me like I was going beyond insane. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Jazz what's that!" I pointed up to the star in the sky.

"It's just a star Bella," he looked back at me, now he gave me the crazy look.

"Yeah, what star is it!" he looked back at it. I watched as his face changed, he finally understood what I was saying, he looked back at me with excitement in his eyes.

"Bella, you're an absolute genius!" He screamed all but jumping to his feet. He ran to me and gathered me up in a hug.

"Would someone please tell us what's going on!" Emmett screamed.

"It's Capella!" Jaz and I both screamed at the same time. Everyone looked at us like we were crazy.

"Oh my god!" I turned to Edward he was looking up at the sky, he turned back to me. The biggest smile on his face. I stood up and he kissed me with such force.

"I have to smartest girlfriend in the world!" my heart stopped...

"Oh shit, I mean um.. fuck!' he blushed.

"Edward, what did you just call me?" I asked again. I made him suffer more.

"I'm sorry it just came out, I was going to ask you. I'm sorry I shouldn't have just said it like that," he looked down almost blushing.

"Edward, ask me." his eyes snapped back to mine.

"Bella, would you give me the honour of being my girlfriend?" I couldn't contain my smile. I nodded and jumped back into his arms, locking my mouth to his. I pulled back and looked at him, his eyes sparkled.

"Yes, yes a million times yes!" I squealed again and kissed him.

"Okay enough with the PDA, what's the star got to do with anything!" Alice all but screamed. Edward placed me back down on the ground and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Alice that star is the brightest star over European mountain, Capella. Do you see the three stars pointing slightly down to the right?" she nodded.

"They're call 'The kids' now if you follow them they lead to the two major cities, one being Cyprus." Her eyes lit up like the fourth of July. She jumped up and started squealing.

"Oh my god -Oh my god - Oh my god!" She screamed out. Everyone started celebrating, knowing that soon we will be safe, that we had a direction now. All we had to do was survive the hike!
