You know what I want...
Dislcaimer: Not me!
Alice POV
An hour went by, then two… I was waiting for some direction to come to me. We sat on the steps of the front porch looking up at the clouds, soft willowing spots blazing behind the sun in the open sky. Jasper sat close to me although we were not touching I felt his body tense and relax with each breath he took. He was spoiling me with all the physical affection he had shown in the last week. It was nice; even though the situation was dire he was happy we were alone again. I leaned over slightly so that my head rested on his shoulder. His body was stiff I supposed he was thinking of our family and our future. I needed to take action, by now Peter and Charlotte were boarding their plane. I flipped my cell phone up dialing the airline-I quickly booked the next flight to Amazon Bay Airport in Brazil. I made it, the decision that we would fly to Brazil instead of by swimming and on foot. Jasper laid back on the porch as he listened to my conversation with the booking agent. I quickly went over the credit card numbers and our flight was paid. We would fly out at seven this evening. It was a pretty quick flight only about four hours it would be a lot easier to fly than to go on foot trying to avoid being seen in the sun. There was a tropical storm coming in. I knew it, and we did not want to be in the Ocean when it hit. The hot air had become alarmingly stagnate and the humidity was so bad it looked as if we were sweating even though we knew we weren't.
"Well, no more swimming! That should make you happy…" I eyed Jazz hoping his serious mood would pass even though he disliked flying even more, something about not being in control I was sure. He nodded at me and rubbed his hand along my back.
"Don't worry about me, how long until the flight?" He kept his eyes on the sky above the clouds were swirling about faster now; the afternoon sun was beginning to set in the sky. This storm would slow us down.
"We should get going… we will be able to board the plane in two hours and I know you don't like to fly – but it's better than the alternative."
"What's the alternative, getting stuck in the Ocean for how long?" He wasn't happy about flying.
"I see us getting swept so far off course it would take us nine hours to get to shore. I won't even mention your run in with the Tiger shark." I leaned my back into his touch as he continued rubbing my back.
"Let me just run in and change clothes, Charlotte kept some of my stuff from the last time we were here." I darted in the door quickly finding her closet. Just as I had seen stashed in the far corner were several of my outfits. I changed quickly into shorts and a comfortable black tee shirt. I even pulled on a pair of all black tennis shoes. I was back on the porch within two minutes. I pirouetted off the porch in front of Jasper, grabbing one of his hands I pulling him up in front of me.
"You always look great Alice" Jasper's voice was light again he was shaking his head at me as if chiding a child.
"I didn't ask!" I pouted.
"You didn't have to, I know you to well…" He pulled me to him into a tight hug looking deeply in my eyes as he squeezed me.
"Off to get the Amazon's then?" He started to pull me toward the forest getting ready to make the run to the local airport. I was trying to concentrate on getting to them, the three females that Carlisle had befriended in his past.
There were three of them, beautiful tall women with sharp features and deep accents. I knew that Zaphrina was the strongest, her power of manipulation could hold off a small army if she had too. I saw her accepting us and then accepting Renesme -she had an immediate link with my niece. Kachiri's face flashed in front of my eyes repeatedly, she was the key… Her graceful features flashed before my eyes I saw her traveling with Jasper and I. Then I knew she needed to come with us, to separate from her sisters. That would be a hard task. I knew I needed her with us, but I couldn't figure out why. I supposed it was due to the fact the decision had not been made by Kachiri for her to leave her sisters and travel with us. Whatever it was... the feeling inside me was tomultuos, my visions distorted and unclear. The future of my family was not set. There were decisions to be made we were all at a crossroads.
