"So what do you guys wanna do?" asked Alice as we took off our seatbelts when we were finally airborne.
"Let's talk about you, Bella." Carmen said cheerfully. Alice pushed a button and then our seats started to move and arranged for us to face each other.
"So are you very excited about the wedding?" asked Tanya.
"I wasn't at first, but Alice is starting to rub off on me," I joked. Everyone laughed except for Irina who started putting on her headphones. I didn't see the point because she would still hear us because of their super-sensitive hearing.
"So when are you going to be changed into a vampire?" Katrina piped up.
"I don't know," I answered truthfully. "We haven't talked about it yet. I guess after the wedding."
"I hope it's done immediately," said Carmen. "Carlisle told us all about the Volturi's warning. We've spent some time with them and they were adamant in making us join their coven."
"You have powers too?" I asked curiously.
"Has Edward told you about the succubus legends?" asked Carmen. I shook my head as they all leaned closer to listen to the story.
"According to legend, they're soul-sucking demons who lure their prey using their beauty and charm. They say that the succubi have sex with their prey before eating them. Others even say, they suck the souls exactly when the men climax." I waited patiently for her to continue. I was the only one anxious to hear the story because all the others have heard it before.
"Meet the facts behind the fiction," said Katrina as she held her hand and waved it over to her sisters. I gasped as the realization hit me.
"Y-y-you suck souls?" I stuttered.
"If we change people into vampires, I guess we're technically taking their soul away but there hasn't been any proof to that theory, but no, we only suck blood like most vampires. We live like the Cullen's so we only drink animal blood like they do. We're very fond of men but just because we have sex with them doesn't necessarily mean we eat them afterwards." I chuckled grimly at her explanation. Katrina continued on and explained about their powers.
"Every vampire seduces their prey with beauty and charm but we do it differently. I guess our beauty really is enough but we have more up our sleeves. You've seen what I can do with my hair, right? There's actually more to it. Call the co-pilot, Alice, just for a second." Alice called the co-pilot and asked him something about how to use the control panels.
"Look what I'm going to do," whispered Katrina. Suddenly her hair started shining. It was as if they had their own source of light. The pilot's eyes stared blankly at her and then he started to drool. We all burst out laughing which made the copilot snap back to reality. Suddenly, Tanya spoke up.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked the co-pilot.
"I'm from Seattle, ma'am," he said nervously.
"See what Tanya's gonna do," whispered Alice.
"That is so funny!" Tanya started laughing melodiously and then the co-pilot looked as if he fell into a trance. He started walking towards Tanya who continued laughing. She stopped abruptly which made the co-pilot stumble.
"I…I…I'm sorry ma'am!" he said as he stood up and dusted himself off. He then returned towards the cockpit and quickly closed the door.
"You're powers are so cool!" I told them.
"Yeah, I guess but their sole purpose is to lure human and male prey. It's kind of useless when you live like we do." Katrina explained.
"What can Carmen do?" I asked curiously since she didn't demonstrate for us.
"I use my eyes to lure in prey," she told me. "Once I break eye contact, the spell is lifted."
"Irina's power is touch. Even the tip of her finger can cause a man to fall in love and give her the world. If she lets go, it's over. She has the worst power, don't you think so?" Katrina said amusingly. Irina growled over at the end of the room and ignored us the rest of the trip.
We arrived in Honolulu just in time for the sun to set which was very convenient since the other couldn't have walked around the sun glittering in the tropical sun. A stretch limo was waiting for us in the tarmac. A very Cullen-like welcome, if I may say so.
The driver dropped us off at the yacht club where we boarded a luxury yacht named Esme1. It looked more like a cruise ship, if you ask me. It was so huge and extravagant. Another one of the Cullen indulgences, I guess.
"Where's the crew?" I asked Alice as we boarder the yacht. I didn't see a single soul on the boat, literally.
"We don't have nay," she replied. "Rosalie and Esme know how to captain the yacht. That's basically all we need." The things these vampires could do never ceased to amaze me. Alice led us all inside and took me to my room. It was so splendid and grand that I wouldn't have minded staying in it the whole weekend.
"Here, take this," said Alice as she handed me her cellphone. "Edward is going to call in about thirty seconds." I thanked her before she left the room to give me some privacy. There really wasn't any point because they could still hear me even if I was talking underwater. The phone rang and I answered it immediately.
"Hey, Edward," I greeted him.
"Hello, love. How was your flight?" he asked me.
"Long," I said. "but very educational. The Denali coven told me all about their powers."
"Only you, Bella would be amused by their powers," Edward chuckled. "Most people, even vampires are terrified of their abilities. I'm willing to bet that you were more afraid of the airplane food." I laughed and scolded him for teasing me.
"Tell me abut your day," I urged. "Obviously, you didn't go there to eat potatoes."
"I've had a fun day," said Edward. "It was a little too adventurous for your taste, though."
"Why? If you haven't noticed it yet, I'm a little bit more adventurous than I was before I met you. I've faced a maniacal vampire, jumped off a cliff and raced to Europe and made friends with a bunch of genocidal vampires."
"I guess you are more adventurous," Edward laughed. "Well, if you must know, we went skydiving."
"What's so adventurous about that?" I asked him. "I've jumped off a fifty-foot cliff and almost drowned."
"We weren't wearing any parachutes," I gasped as he said it.
"Edward Masen Cullen!" I yelled over the phone. "How dare you endager your life like that?! You could have died!" He was laughing while I said this. "What is so funny?"
"First of all Bella, you don't have anything to worry about because I'm already dead. Second of all, I didn't even get hurt. The ground did, however. Emmett left a crater the size of the grand canyon on one of the fields." I couldn't help but laugh. I was being silly. The word immortal does ring a bell.
"Wait a minute," I interrupted. "What did the pilot say? Couldn't he report that your parachutes didn't release?"
"We release decoys so he wouldn't get suspicious," Edward explained. "Everything was well planned out by Alice." I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God for future-seeing vampires. I wondered briefly what Alice had in store for us tomorrow.
"Edward, can you please tell Alice if she plans on swimming with sharks, that I'm going to pass."
"I doubt that she'd be planning anything as extreme as that," Edward chuckled.
"Wanna bet?" I challenged. "Do you think you can give me a hint on whatever it is she's planning?"
"I'm afraid I can't" he replied. "She tried very hard to block me from her thoughts and all I saw was a speedboat."
"A lot of help you are," I chuckled. "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"We're going white river rafting and then mountain climbing."
"What kind of theme for a bachelor party is that? Extreme outdoor sports?"
"It's better than what Emmett was planning. He wanted to take us to Las Vegas to go see strippers. Alice told on him to Rosalie about his plans."
"Poor Emmett," I laughed. "He must have gotten an earful from Rosalie. But I'm glad Alice stopped it before anything happened."
"Don't worry, my love," said Edward. "You can lock me up in a room filled with all the beautiful women in the world and I still wouldn't touch them even if my life depended on it."
"I'd rather not encounter that kind of situation," I told him grimly.
"That's what we have Alice for," he joked. After talking for a few more minutes, we said our goodbyes and Edward promised to call again the next day. Esme made me some dinner and after that I went back to my room to sleep.
