FELIX'S POV

As we requested, Bella, Alice and Rosalie arrived at the airport five minutes before the three hours ran out. They walked into the hangar where our private jet was resting and marched toward us.

I lifted a brow and shared a look with Demetri. Wanna know why? The pixie-like one was silently fuming, while the other two were spewing obscenities, cursing a poor cab driver who apparently was too slow for their liking.

"Ladies" Demetri greeted as they came to an halt before us.

"Gentlemen" the seer replied, "Shall we depart?"

"Of course" I said, affable as always, "Demetri will lead you on the plane while I take care of your luggage."

"Thank you" the blonde said. The tiny human was still frowning, but she thanked me gently when I grabbed her bags. I nodded back to her and she boarded the jet.

I quickly took care of the luggage—how many things had the damn pixie brought with her?—and boarded the jet myself as Demetri was explaining the three women the various characteristics of the suites.

The human spoke up and said, "We'll take the suite with food in it. Thank you."

"Will you stay all in the same rooms?" I asked. Her marvellous eyes found mine and I was surprised again when she didn't flinch. She nodded wordlessly.

"Then please follow me. Felix will pilot the jet and—"

"You know how to pilot a jet?" Bella interrupted him, and my surprise multiplied. She had just interrupted a vampire while speaking, as if she wasn't talking with one of the most lethal creatures on this planet, and addressed me as she would address a friend.

"Indeed I do" I told her, masking my shock well. I could feel that Demetri was stunned also, as he led the ladies to their suite. I went to sit in the cockpit and readied the jet for our take-off.

After the door opened and then closed, Demetri flashed to my side. He sat in the other chair next to mine, careful not to touch anything.

"That girl is something else" he muttered after a while.

"You can say that again" I replied smirking.

He was still gaping. "She has no fear, no awkwardness, no uneasiness towards our kind."

"I know. Did you notice she didn't look away at the house, when she met our stares?"

"Yes! Holy shit that was the last thing I would have expected her to do" he told me.

"I know. Plus she is so tiny, you wouldn't expect it" I said, while manoeuvring the jet and positioning it in the right position for the flight.

"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed, and then sat musing while we took off.

He didn't speak again until we were stable in the air. "She is very pretty" he muttered.

I chuckled. "Already in love?" I teased him, wiggling my eyebrows suggestively.

He shoved my shoulder hard and I barked a laugh. "Alright, alright! I'll stop. Anyway, yes I agree. She's beautiful. Did you see the colour of her eyes, dude?" I asked him.

"Yeah! They are unique. I have never seen eyes like hers. Brown, golden, red… I even spotted a bit of platinum. How the fuck can a human have eyes like hers?" he asked, throwing his hands up in the air in exasperation.

"Shit if I know. But she has this kind of aura that pulls you in, if you know what I mean" I said.

He nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. She's not like Heidi, tho. Heidi uses a power, Bella does not."

"I think it's a natural thing of hers" I mused.

He smirked, "I think this might be one of the few cases where the vampire admires the human, and not the contrary."

I laughed with him. "I have the feeling she is one worth admiring. I think we will see that a warrior lives in her tiny body."

"She really is tiny, isn't she?" he smiled.

"Yeah, she is so tiny, fragile. But then she speaks and the bomb drops!" I laughed at the image I had created.

"Well, you can tell she is feisty even by looking in her eyes. Apart from the colour, they sometimes seem to swirl like fire. Like when she was staring at Cullen" he said.

I grinned evilly, remembering the look she gave him and how she ignored him. "Seems like his lover is no longer such" I told him.

His grin matched mine, "I think so too. Just as I think that he is delusional enough to think that she still wants him."

"Really?"

"Yes. To be honest, I think also Isabella still hasn't figured out it yet. I think she is confused" he told me.

"When did you become so insightful, dude?" I joked, even though I agreed with him.

He growled, smacking my head with his hand. "Stop being a jackass. It's just a feeling…" he left the sentence open like that, his eyes wondering.

"What?" I asked, curious.

"Is it just me or is she charming us?" he laughed.

I froze. Damn, he was right. I exploded into a boisterous laugh. "She is, Dem, she is."

"How is that I don't mind? We don't mind?"

"Because we trust our gut feeling that tells us she is worthy" I answered simply.

He nodded, and then we were silent.

A few seconds later, we heard steps coming in our direction. Three seconds later, the blonde vampire—Rosalie, the big dude's mate—appeared in the cockpit.

"How long till we land?" she asked, her voice apathetic.

"About ten hours. We will land at Firenze's airport, there a car will be waiting for us and drive us to Volterra" I answered her. She nodded and left us.

We waited until we heard the door close to speak again.

"I can't wait to see what those three will do in Volterra. I can already tell our lives will be more ecstatic with them around" Dem said, relaxing in his seat, "Let's just hope Caius doesn't kill Bella. It would be a pity" he then said.

I smirked. "100 bucks that he will love her also. Not immediately, maybe, but eventually. With what Aro is planning for them!" I told him.

"Yeah, Master Aro is so enthusiastic about the celebrations he came up with for them. But, nonetheless, prepare to lose, bitch" he grinned right back.

"We'll see" I winked, and turned my eyes to the sky before me.

I relaxed in my seat. 10 hours and the games will begin.
