Chapter Thirty!!!! Woo! Who! We Are Rescued! See Gilligan!

A/N: Dear faithful readers..... By way of apology I noticed several mistakes in my story. The big one has been the spelling of names. As I realize my mistakes I am correcting them going forward, but I really am not moved to fix them going back...... So just wanted to let you all know I appreciate you not mentioning my lack of two brain cells that touch. Huge chapter So Read on and Enjoy! (and review)

I heard the familiar sound of the speed boat. Gianna and I quit our sight seeing and ran to the dock. I looked at my arms..... Nope nothing, no tan. Well at least that didn't change. I was still as white as a sheet! Last time I was here, I really did not spend enough time in the sun to see if I would tan.......

Well, it was not who I imagined coming to my rescue, it is that scary Amazon and her 2 sisters in the boat. I met her briefly at my wedding, she seemed nice, I suppose if this is who Alice sent she must be OK.

I looked at Gianna, she seemed a little surprised at who our rescue party was too. "Now Gianna, remember what we discussed. You will need to stop breathing when we get to the mainland. I will speak for you and we will pretend you are deaf, and mute OK?"

She nodded, and swallowed. She was nervous about smelling humans, so I figured this out to help her with some kind of strategy to deal. I was relieved at least she did not WANT to hunt humans.

I grabbed the rope when Senna threw it to me, and tied it to the cleat on the dock. Zafrina said "Your sister Alice sent us. Are you OK?"

I smiled at her concern, and knew what she was really asking. Is the newborn safe to be around. She did not want to risk her sisters being hurt. "Yes, we are fine. Gianna brought us here, but she is not afraid to try her gift again, in case she puts us in a volcano somewhere...... She is under control, we are ready to go now."

Zafrina turned to Kachiri and nodded. "Here are some fresh clothes." She tossed them to us. I grabbed them and tossed one set to Gianna. We were about the same size, so no problem. I had gotten used to going native since we were here, so I just changed right there, and Gianna followed suit. I did not want to waste time on modesty, the sooner I was changed and on the boat, the sooner I would see my Edward again!

Zafrina said "Alright let's go, Alice told us by the time we got there they would be at the airport to meet you." I jumped into the boat along with Gianna and untied us from the dock. Zafrina pulled us out and I almost lost my balance when she threw the throttle forward and took off back toward the mainland! Her and her sisters were grinning widely enjoying the speed at which the boat was moving. "Do you want to drive Bella?" Zafrina asked. But I could tell the hopeful tone in her voice was not hope for me to say yes, and take the duty from her, but that I would say no so she could keep driving. "No, you seem to be having too much fun! I don't want to deprive you!" I laughed to her.

I was startled when she reached out and grabbed me with her free arm and gave me a hug. "I like you already Bella! We are going to be great friends!"

I hugged her back, but she was still scary. I was glad I let her keep driving! I would not want her mad at me! "Bella, sit down and get comfortable, I want to show you my gift, I can make you see anything I choose. At your wedding I heard you saying how you were able to drop your shield? If you drop it now, I will show you how beautiful your wedding was."

I closed my eyes and pushed my shield away. And almost instantly I was watching what amounted to a wedding video, but this was so much more colorful! Our wedding video did not capture all of the color, and subtle beauty our eyes are capable of . I sat contentedly until I heard the motor slowing, and the vision ended with Edward and I walking down the aisle together.

I let my shield snap back reflexively, and saw us pulling into a strange marina. "Where are we?" I asked.

"This marina is much closer to the airport. I looked on a map when Alice asked us to come and get you and this is going to get you to the airport 45 minutes quicker. I thought this would be better."

I forgot all about my fear of her wildness. I hugged her. "You are a genius of course!" She smiled down at me and said. "My sister Senna and I will get off here with you and ride in the car to the airport. Kachiri will return the boat to the marina you keep it at. We will help you and Gianna make it back to the airport safely. I am not too concerned, for a newborn she seems very relaxed and controlled."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought so too, but since I am technically a newborn too, I don't know what is normal, and what is not. I know I am different than the normal newborn experience, but I am a little out of my depth here with looking out for Gianna."

Gianna spoke up. "Thank you for your help, I am sorry to have caused you trouble because of my gift.... I am grateful you are here to keep me from hurting anyone."

"Do not concern yourself. We will see you safely to the airport. In time you will learn to use your interesting gift as I did. Do not doubt this. It is a lot to take on. Your new senses as you became one of us alone gives many a difficult time adjusting. Then to add to that an extra power, which adds new senses you do not even have words for, is overwhelming but in time you will adjust I promise!"

We got off the boat, and ran to the car which was waiting. We paid the driver for delivering it, and left him to find a cab to take him back to his home. We watched Gianna closely but she at one point had the driver walk right past her to leave the parking lot to find a payphone, and she held her breath, and clenched her fists but didn't move.

When we were in the car speeding toward the airport Gianna said "That was much harder than I expected. I could not smell the blood, but I could hear his warm sweet heart beating and my venom ran into my mouth. He almost killed himself when he chose to walk past me so close!"

As we approached the airport it was the middle of the night, and deserted. This was a small airfield but there at the end of the runway sitting with the steps down was the familiar plane of the Volturi Guard. Under a light pole I saw him 300 meters away as we pulled around the corner my Edward! I did not wait for Zafrina to stop, of bother opening the door. I forgot myself and my strength, and just went through the door and was wrapped around Edward kissing him. When I pulled back there was that smile I so loved, "So, I see you missed me too?" I punched him in the arm playfully. "You have no idea. To return to Isle Esme, without you? I was mad with longing for you Edward!"

Gianna walked up. "I am sorry about that Bella, you have no idea..."

"Oh Gianna, it is ok, accidents happen, and no real harm was done! I am all better now!"

Zafrina walked up to Alice who had now joined us with Jasper. "Here are all the papers from our trip. I will return the car from where we rented it, but I am afraid you have lost your deposit....." She said the last part smiling at me wrapped around Edward.

Alice giggled. "Yes, but I saw this coming, and already called the car company and informed them that we had an accident and the door was torn off. They will not give you any problems when you return it. Thank you so much for helping reunite us faster!" She danced over and hugged Zafrina and Senna.

We approached the airplane, and Corin and Santiago got off the plane and walked over to Gianna. "Hello Gianna! You look lovely this evening." Santiago purred to her. Santiago was one of the guard members who I had heard had a nickname. Romeo. He was well known as being a flirt. He played the latin card very well. His accent was very continental, and charming. But he was not cocky. It just came natural to him. It was no wonder when Gianna smiled shyly at his compliment and took his offered hand and climbed onboard the plane with the two of them, as we followed.

On the flight back I filled them in on our adventure, and Gianna's take on her power. Alice saw her using her power in the near future. Jasper said that he, Edward, Carlisle and Rosalie all theorized that what had happened was Gianna's power is somehow tied to memory or thought. So since we were touching I was probably thinking about the honeymoon, and Gianna's subconscious picked up on that and that is why we were poof at Isle Esme.

I told them what it was like, and how I was dazed at first. Shocked maybe. It didn't hurt or anything, but I had a little headache for a minute. Gianna however was perfectly fine, and worried about me when I came around. We all looked over at the other seating area on the plane where Gianna was talking to Corin and Santiago. Her and Santiago were sitting really close, touching. Santiago kept smiling at her and encouraging her to tell her story from her viewpoint. He seemed really interested when she described what it was like to feed on shark.

He interrupted her story to tell about how he had fed upon a gorilla 300 years ago before he joined the guard. He was in Africa crossing the continent and there were no humans near, and he was thirsty so he fed on what was available to him mainly out of curiosity he admitted. Thinking that Humans and Gorillas were very close genetically, but he was disappointed. It sated the thirst, but it was like drinking a fine wine mixed one drop into a glass of river water.

He was curious about a predator like shark though. As a child in Spain he lived in a fishing village, and once in a while the fishermen would catch a shark in their nets that was going after their catch. Shark was not viewed as edible in those times (A/N: I have no clue, just winging it here, call it artistic liscense, also no idea about her character Santiago. I got a review from "alice, my real name is alice" who liked that I include a lot of characters, so I am adding a few more listed in the back of Breaking Dawn. Also, I loved the book, liked Nessie, but left her out of my alternate version because I just could not think of making it work.)

But his family being poor, his father would bring it back and many nights they had shark soup, shark steaks, his brother would complain about it, but secretly he enjoyed it. He liked the taste. He was amused that now humans fished for shark on purpose.

We arrived back in Volterra and Edward and I decided to walk back to the castle. It was Edwards turn. I had told my story, now he told me his.

He was stunned when I was suddenly gone. At first he threw himself to where I was his first thought was that we were invisible. When he could not find me, he panicked fearing the worst. Only Jasper and Alice were able to stop his panic. Alice of course saw where I was immediately. And was going to apparently have a word with me in private. When I was sitting on the island concentrating thinking I would help Alice find us. It was like someone was shouting at her in her vision. She was very put off by that. Edward wanted to leave at once to come get me. But the plane was not available it was going to be a day and a half.

Alice said it would be good if we waited and met them in a couple of days at the airport. She blocked her thoughts and would not show Edward why but she convinced everyone else so he had to wait. Of course by making him wait she made me wait, so she was going to have some explaining to do!

So apparently everyone in Volterra is annoyed with Edward now. He about wore a hole in the floor pacing while he was waiting. Moaning about how much he missed me and how he couldn't stand to be apart from me. I knew what he meant, although I was distracted over caring for Gianna on my own, I missed him terribly. I looked at him in awe, here was this perfect angel, who was as crazy about me as I was him. I felt so blessed.

When we got back to our room Gianna was outside waiting for me. "Bella, sorry, I just wanted someone to vent to. I will vent then leave you two to catch up..... That JERK SANTIAGO! Did you see how he flirted with me? Well, I got interested, then when we were alone I leaned in to kiss him? He held me back! He was not interested in me like that he said! I have no idea where I sent him, but I hope it was a blast furnace!!!" She was angry. Anger leads to hate and hate to the dark side...... I chuckled as I thought that. "Gianna, you don't mean that, you aren't like that, I am sure you probably sent him to the other side of the planet or something...."

She pouted, "Yeah, you're right....." As we stood there Daniel the newborn walked up "Hello, I am glad I ran into you. I have thanked everyone else for rescuing me. I am having a much better time now that I understand what has happened. They have even shown me how to feed at the zoo.... It is weird, but a lot less guilt. I think I can live with that." He looked at Gianna and smiled putting out his hand. "Hi! I am Daniel. You are the other newborn they were telling me about?"

Gianna looked up at him and smiled back. They walked off together talking about nothing important and Daniel offered his hand and Gianna took it.

A/N: Deckhand21? You should take that thread and have your character get into a relationship with Gianna. I was going to write more of that, but I really need to get back to what happened to Kate. It is going to be good!! Any guesses people? It does not involve her being destroyed FYI she will be found but I am injecting some drama into the story with her.
