Alice POV
"Jasper-Jasper- Jasper!" I giggled uncontrollably as the waves lapped my shoulders. It was completely dark except for the light from the moon; it shimmered on Jazz's face as he was trying to catch me. After about four hours of hard swimming and Jasper loosing a shoe I knew I had to cheer him up. The Pacific Ocean was peaceful and the swimming was clearing my head, letting the fear and tension go. Jasper seemed a bit better too -not having to work so hard on keeping me calm. He kicked his foot out behind him and his other shoe shot off. He grinned at me loving this time alone together and was at my side in an instant.
"You little devil pixie!" Pulling me close to his side we floated atop the waves hand in hand laughing and pushing each other under the water. Then it came to me- this time much clearer- the images passed through my head one by one-Emmett and Rosalie running, looking for our allies. I saw Carlisle next his image passing quickly. Then, Peter and Charlotte, they were speaking to Jasper and then I saw them standing at the doorway to our home and Edward speaking to them. My eyes refocused and I could feel Jaspers arms wrapped around me.
"Alice, Alice- what is it? What did you see?" His voice was urgent again filled with anxiety.
"It's okay, I am sure now - at least with what direction we should be going. We need to get to Peter and Charlotte you said they were in Honduras. Do you think they would still be there?" My voice was back its soft melodic rhythm touching just the right notes.
"Yes, they would still be there, We have about a two day's swim left ahead of us, maybe more…" He stated more to himself than to me.
"Hmmm, I think exactly fifty-three hours from now we will be right on the shore; I think going through El Salvador will be the best way. There are less people but, we will need to change clothes for sure. There is a village right off the coast, Zacatecoluca- we can shop there!" I thought about the need for some new exotic clothes, but this was not the time I had to remind myself.
Jasper chuckled softly "Then I suppose we need to get moving."
"Yes we do, and we need to go under to do it, there will be several cargo ships in this part of the Ocean and it would not be good to be seen." I was just about to duck under water and Jasper caught me around the waist.
"They might think you were a mermaid- we stay together okay?" Linking our hands together he entwined his fingers in mine. I kissed the tip of his nose nodding my head in agreement.
Down we went deeper and deeper until it was so dark no sunlight filtered through the water. I could see Jazz next to me in a light shimmery form and the deep water looked like a grey green haze. No other animal in the ocean could see this deep. We swam quickly then Jasper went still – rigid in fact. I concentrated and saw the flash in my head a picture of the huge mammal and relaxed, we were in no danger. I brushed my thumb up and down Jaspers hand to reassure him. His eyes moved on me; then out scanning the deep blue. The current of the water changed brushing us down slightly and I smiled to Jazz he still felt electric in my palm; tense and prepared. Then we saw it– the dark form, enormous in size, huge wings on either side of its gigantic body. A blue whale. Bubbles spewing from its mouth as he glided right next to us. He was unafraid as he passed by. We floated there for a few moments in awe at the beauty and grace of the creature who had given us the gift of its presence. I tore my eyes away to look at Jaspers face- he was smiling! The smile reserved for my eyes only… that was twice in only a few days! I laughed in my head the happiness of Jazz being contagious, how ironic I thought. He looked at me and rolled his eyes motioning with his arms to continue the swim. And, we did.
