"You found a what?" said Alice in shock.

"A knife," said Bella happily, "It was covered in blood and flesh on it still."

"Really?"

"No."

"Oh."

"Alice, you need to stop believing what everybody says, including Jasper. No matter how many books he reads to clarify this; unicorns do not exist," said Bella, rolling her eyes.

"They don't?" said Alice, rolling in her deckchair. Bella answered by raising an eyebrow. She lathered another layer of sun cream and then smiled as she walked to the other side of the pool where Jasper sat talking to Edward.

"Excuse me, would you like to play with us?" a pretty girl asked the person on Bella's right. Bella looked up from her novel and saw that it was Emmett.

"No, thank you." Replied Emmett wearily. The girls walked away with a frown. Emmett could be heard from the other side of the pool. But even if they couldn't hear what the girls had said, the faces of the girls he had declined to said it all. Edward, Jasper and Alice knew what Emmett had done.

"Emmett said no to girls?" Edward asked in deep shock to Jasper. Jasper looked astonished back at Edward.

"I think so. They definitely look rejected," Jasper said logically. Alice's jaw dropped. On Emmett's side of the pool, Bella and Carlisle looked stunned at Emmett.

"What has the dead body done to you?"Carlisle said, shaking Emmett's limp body, which was slumped in the deckchair.

"I can't see the point in chasing after other girls. Serafina is the one."

"That's sick. Her husband's just been killed," Bella retorted, returning to her book. Emmett glared at her.

"You're one to talk," Emmett said angrily. He took the book out of Bella's fingers and looked at the title. "Death du jour, what kind of title is that?"

"A crime mystery title," Bella snapped before snatching her book back. Carlisle let out a low whistle.

"Calm down, you two." Carlisle warned. Bella stood up.

"Paolo Donatello was a great man, what Serafina did to him and you is absolutely twisted Emmett and you know it." Bella snarled. Edward, Jasper and Alice all looked at the scene taking place at the other side of the pool. Carlisle was shocked too.

"What happens between Serafina and me; stays between Serafina and me," replied Emmett, standing up also. Edward, Jasper and Carlisle didn't know what to expect. Bella and Emmett had never had a fight before. Emmett was usually on Bella's side and Bella was usually on Emmett's side. They couldn't understand what was going on between the pair of them.

"Auntie thought that this trip would be a treat for all of us, and by treat she didn't mean hooking up with the hostess!"

"Hooking up? We're not even together!"

"Doesn't seem like it."

"I thought your Aunt wanted you to live at her mansion so that you could become a lady. By becoming a lady, I don't think she would have wanted you to be all over Edward."

Edward blushed as his name was dragged into the row.

"All over Edward? That's likely." Bella scoffed.

"Doesn't look like it." Emmett said slyly, the image of Bella and Edward sleeping next to each other on the sofa crept into his mind.

"Shut up," Bella said, shoving Emmett in the arm. The tone of her voice let all the frustration he had out and he pushed her back.

Emmett was so into the fight that he didn't realise how close to the pool they were standing. Bella was so angry that she realised too late that when she was falling, she was falling into the pool.

There was a resounding splash.

"Come on, Bella. Don't be like that." Emmett said tiredly as Bella flailed in the water. Her head bobbed under the water and it stayed there. The lifeguard was off-duty and Edward suddenly realised why Bella didn't resurface.

There was another splash as Edward dived into the pool. In a few seconds he had swam towards Bella and pulled her up. Her eyes were closed. Edward lifted her onto the poolside.

"Emmett, you idiot, she can't swim!" said Edward in exasperation.

"Shit. Can't she?" said Emmett who was suddenly concerned and worriedly. Bella was not faking this time.

Edward had no choice but to perform CPR.

"Come on Bella," Edward said so low that the only person that could hear it was himself. Bella wasn't responding to the hands that he was thumping on her chest. He did mouth-to-mouth. Again, it felt right, but Edward had no time to cherish it. He repeated trying to restart her heart and mouth-to-mouth before Bella choked up some water. She spluttered water everywhere.

"I'm so sorry Bella," Emmett said quietly, "I never knew...you were right."

Bella's head was banging and she felt exhausted. She steadily got to her feet and she fell back onto Edward before regaining her balance.

"I'm going to the medical centre," she said mainly to Emmett, "then I'll deal with you."

Emmett knew in his head that he actually deserved this. He knew that playing behind Mr. Donatello's back with his wife was wrong. He wished that he could have changed the things he had said to Bella. Especially the ones about Edward.

Bella didn't want any help as she walked to the medical centre. She was too tired to realise that there was a pair of eyes glaring at her. She couldn't hear the footsteps behind her. She didn't take any notice to the other shadow that followed hers. She paid no attention to soft breathing behind hers. She was immersed by her own exhaustion to realise that the loud groan behind her would connect to the pain in her head. Bella fainted and fell onto the ground, the predator having attacked the prey. Bella didn't realise until it was too late that someone had been stalking her since she had left the poolside alone. Bella didn't know where she was being taken as her unconscious body left the ground. She couldn't hear the cackling and the curses that came from Serafina Donatello's mouth.
