Chapter 18

Bella's POV.

I awoke to the gentle sea breeze blowing in my face. I sat up and looked into the distance. We were still on the ocean. I looked down at my leg, it still hurt but not as bad. You could see the snake bite holes and it was purple and reddish around the wound, there was also a crescent shape bite mark around it, Edward's bite mark I guessed.

I laid my head back on the small pillow that was connected to the lawn chair and closed my eyes. I few seconds later I opened them to Alice sitting on the end of the chair with a Burger King bag in her little hands smiling brightly. I jumped because I didn't even hear her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." She laughed and handed me the bag.

"S'okay. What's this?" I asked.

"It's a spicy chicken sandwich." She shrugged.

My stomach applauded at the words. The last time I had a real meal was… who knows how long.

"It's my favorite! How did you-"

She stopped me and pointed to her head.

"Oh right." I blushed. "Thank you!"

"No problem Bella." She sat up, hugged me, and danced away leaving me with my sandwich.

I opened the bag and the wonderful smell surrounded me. I tore the sandwich out of its wrapping and ate it quickly. I downed the fries and chugged the chocolate milkshake in a matter of minutes.

I loved that girl!

I decided once I was full to explore the ship, and look for Edward. I carefully got out of the chair and tried to step on my foot. It was working for awhile until I put all my weight on the foot. My foot collapsed. I waited for my body to hit the ground but instead cool arms caught me before I fell. I looked up. Edward was smiling at me.

"Hello, love! Foot still tender?"

I nodded.

He kissed me and delicately swung me on his back.

"Ready to meet my family officially?" He asked. I gulped.

"Afraid of a family of vampires?" He guessed, chuckling.

"No…" I blushed. "I'm afraid they won't like me."

Edward laughed loudly and I could have sworn I heard some laughing coming from a different part of the boat.

Edward kissed my hand and laughed again. "They'll love you! Esme's ready to make you a part of the family already!" He laughed. Edward carried me on deck. All the Cullen's were still in the exact same places as before, like they haven't even moved. Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, and Alice smiled. Jasper looked a little anxious, and Rosalie just glared at me.

Edward had told me about how Rosalie wasn't the nicest person in the world and how she would probably hate me if we met. But I wasn't prepared for that.

Rosalie was beautiful, flawless. But the death glare she gave me was intimidating, terrifying.

I shuddered. Jasper felt my mood change. He and Edward hissed at Rosalie. She just rolled her eyes and began looking at her nails, uninterested.

"So how's the leg Bella?" Carlisle asked sweetly, breaking the awkward tension.

"It's fine." I squeaked.

Edward rolled his eyes this time. "Bella you can't even walk on it. It's worse then fine."

I blushed and shrugged.

"Let's have a look, shall we?" Carlisle said.

I nodded.

Edward sat me in the chair that Carlisle was sitting in. Alice handed Carlisle a bag I've never seen before.

Carlisle beamed at Alice.

"You brought my bag?!" He laughed. He sounded like a child who just got back his lost puppy.

Alice shrugged. "Just in case."

Carlisle looked at the two bite marks on my leg.

After many 'hmms' and 'oohs,' he finally spoke.

"Well, I'm pretty sure we can explain the snake bite to the hospital. But I'm not sure about the vampire bite…"

"Hospital?" I yelped.

"Bella you're very weak and you're not healthy at all. We'll have to get an I.V. in you for at least an hour.

"I.V?" I yelped again.

Rosalie smirked.

"Don't worry, love. I won't leave your sight." Edward said.

I smiled.

"Hmm…" Carlisle pondered. "We can just wrap up your wound and I'll tell the nurses not to change the bandage. Also I think you just have a small sprain, but I'll need an x-ray to confirm."

"Thanks Carlisle, for everything." I said

"No problem Bella." Carlisle said hugging me.

"So Bella," Emmett started, "You drowned, got bitten by a snake, got bitten by a vampire, fell in love with a vampire, got very sick, and was the only human to survive a plane crash. How are you alive?"

"Honestly Emmett, I have no clue myself." I laughed.

Emmett laughed a booming laugh. "She's a keeper!"

I blushed and hid my head in Edward's chest.

"Don't worry, love. "Edward murmured. "Emmett makes a lot of stupid jokes. There never funny though."

I giggled, Emmett pretended to feel hurt.

"We'll be at shore in twenty minutes." Alice informed us.

I was happy, sad, and a little nervous. I was happy because I could see my father. Sad because I would miss being the island with Edward. Nervous because of the hospital.

"Are you okay Bella?" Jasper asked, speaking for the first time. "Your emotions are all haywire."

I blushed. "I'm just excited I guess.

Edward hugged me closer.

"Oh Edward," Esme said, "I'm so happy you found someone to love."

Edward smiled and kissed my head.

So for the remaining fifteen minutes, I sat with Edward enjoying the see breeze, dodging Rosalie's death stares, and thinking about the future.

Well now I'm hungry for Burger King...
Anyway! I still don't know about a sequel yet. I am thinking about writing something different, then getting back to this story's sequel, if there is one! I'll post a poll about it and see what you guys are thinking, although I think I already know what's going to win...
I'm guessing about two more Chapters until this story is over, I'm trying to stretch it out as much as I can.. hence this Chapter. -coughs-
Thanks!
REVIEW! :P.
