Chapter Twenty Four: Honeymoon Sushi!
A/N: I am going to write this from Bella's perspective, and be all romantic, But I am a guy, I hope I do OK with the female perspective, and not making her too aggressive?
To answer your question alice (and like what's with the anon reviews? It is weird having to reply to you in my chapters! Like everyone else wants to read this?) But I am team Alice. I love Alice Cullen. The books should have been from her perspective, and all about her! But as far as the Bella, Jacob, Edward triangle goes? Jacob is way too self centered etc. I don't like him at all. I skip his bits when I reread the books!
We arrived in Rio at night. When we got off the Volturi plane, we were met by a limo. It was nice being pampered like this. I mean a girl could get used to this life right? We arrived at a marina, and of course Edward took us to the biggest fastest looking boat in the marina. It was night, so he set the boat up at vampire speed. It roared to life!
We took off, out of the marina, and I was right it was a fast boat alright. But somehow I was not afraid of the speed like I was when I was human.... After an exciting boat ride we pulled up at Isle Esme. With my new eyesight, I could see the beauty of the island at night, but I imagined how it must look in the sun....... Edward showed Jane and Felix to their cottage, and after hugging them goodbye, I followed Edward to our cabin. Well, it was more of a tree house actually. There was a bedroom and a small bathroom. Which was all we needed, but the bedroom was open on one side overlooking the ocean, we could see the vegetation cut away to clear the view, and all around us the wildlife squeaked, and hopped about. There were the most beautiful tropical birds. As I was staring at a toucan sleeping in the tree outside Edward called my name. I turned around slowly not wanting to forget the beauty of this view.
So much for that idea..... As soon as I turned, Edward was in his shorts...... My eyes swept up from his beautiful bare feet his large muscular legs to his flat washboard stomach and his perfectly formed chest, then his face. His perfect beautiful face. I was thankful now for the burning pain of my change, the horrible thirst everything, that made me now able to look upon him like this and not die when my heart stopped.
I hope Alice was not expecting to see me wear this dress again, In the same instant it was off I was flying to the bed with Edward in my arms those shorts were so cute, such a pity to turn them into rags.....
I really became conscious some time later. When I heard Jane calling out to us from a few hundred feet below us on the beach. "Uh, sorry to bother you guys but what are we going to do about hunting?"
I looked at Edward "Uh, how long have we been here?" He smiled at me "I have no idea....." He slid off of me and moved over to the dresser to check his phone I had to resist the urge to get up and drag him back, and it was hard to resist when I saw his bare bottom... "Well this isn't going to help, the battery is dead....." He looked around for his battery charger. When he found it he plugged it in and hooked up his phone. "Well, it looks like we have been in bed for 3 weeks...." I again was glad I was no longer human, or I would have blushed so hard my head would have exploded.
I was embarrassed now, and jumped up and without looking at Edward, or I never would have made it grabbed a bikini out of my suitcase and put it on. I called back over my shoulder to Edward "See you on the beach Baby!" And I dove out the window toward the beach. I did a couple of mid air somersaults and hit the sand on my feet, but went in up to my knees.... but I stuck my arms into the air like an Olympic gymnast and Jane and Felix giggled.
I climbed out of my hole, and asked Jane sheepishly "So, uh, how long you guys been uh looking for food?" Jane Giggled, and said, "Don't be embarrassed, we just got out of bed too!" Edward had joined me he was wearing some surf shorts, and nothing else. I only glanced at him. "Uh, Edward, new rule, you gotta wear a shirt, or I am going to be useless for anything else......."
Jane laughed "Tell me about it. We got up three times to come find out about food and I would see his back, or bare shoulders, or his chest, or he would see mine and we would drag each other back into bed!" We all laughed. Edward said "Well, I think if we try not to get distracted we can focus... So follow me, there is something here which is pretty good for the thirst." He struck off toward a chest on the beach. He opened it and handed us each swim fins. "Here put these on, we can swim fast under water but with these we will be the fastest thing under the water!" We all walked down to the surf zone and walked into the water and put on our fins. "So are we going to swim to shore?" I asked.
"No, we will need to work as a team. Hunt in a pack so to speak. There are hammerhead sharks all over around this island. We will catch them and bring them up onto the beach and feed." Jane looked at him "You have got to be kidding right?" She looked at me for any sign that I had a hidden camera somewhere. "No, I mean it, and you will not believe it, but it is really rich blood, and very similar to human blood. I think it is the closest thing to it I have ever tried." Then he dove under a swell and we followed after him. I think we all were a bit skeptical he was going to be the first one to feed.....
We quickly found a school of sharks who were herding some fish into a school and then taking runs at the school feeding as they went. I realized that we were now doing the same thing to them. It was kinda funny, when I thought about it. We got two on our first run at them. I helped Felix with one, and Jane and Edward got the other. One of is would hold them still and the other would drag the shark behind us.
Once we hit the beach I went to say something and a garbled sound left my throat as I exhaled water! I had forgotten to hold my breath underwater! Everyone started rolling on the beach doubled over laughing including me! I drowned and I didn't even realize it. I was smelling and tasting the water!
"Ok, ha, ha, laugh at the silly newborn.... Now Mr. Cullen, how......" He grabbed one of the sharks and pointed. Here and here pointed to the side of it's head just behind the gills He bit into one side and began drinking gesturing to the other side which he held for me. I sliced into the shark with my razor sharp teeth. The skin was sweet, but the blood was cold and refreshing. It put out the fire like nothing I had drank before! When I was no longer getting any blood, Edward took the shark and began tearing it into small pieces and throwing it into the jungle. "The birds love this, that is why we have such a wide variety of beautiful birds. They will come down to the forest floor and pick off the carcases."
Jane and Felix followed suit. We went after some more this time we only got one at a time but the tide had gone out and Edward showed us a tidal pool big enough for several sharks, so we just started throwing them in there. We stopped when we got to ten, and would just go and pick them off and feed. I had one more, as did Jane but Edward had 2 more, and Felix three. We went back into the water and Edward showed us some underwater caves, and a wrecked pirate ship. We spent another couple of hours under the water when I realized we were so deep I could not see sunlight anymore. I lowered my shield "Edward, aren't we going to have the bends or something from going this deep?" He pulled out a grease pencil from his pocket and wrote on his arm. "No, we do not have blood circulating the way humans do, so we don't suffer from nitrogen narcosis at depth like they do, and bends is something you get from surfacing too fast when air bubbles form in the blood stream, also not a problem for us :)"
"How deep are we?" He wiped off his arm "About 600-700 feet I guess" "Wow!" was all I could reply.
Jane and Felix motioned toward the island and swam off. After they were out of range I lost my distraction and noticed Edward again. While he was looking at a reef I removed my bikini and tied it around my ankle. Then I swam casually in front of him.......... We spent a week under the water...........
