After we left Hawaii, we had gone all around the world. We went from Hawaii to Japan and China. Then we went to India and continued to travel all around Europe. We ran into a few wild bands of men. James had tried to go after one of the men, but I had held him back. Then we went to Egypt to see the Egyptian clan. The visit was quick enough. I didn't like the culture clash there so we left pretty fast. We did stop in Italy and had a little run in with the Volturi.
Flashback
"I can't believe you two decided to show up here." Chelsea sneered one night. James and I were enjoying one of the many clubs. Felix and Demetri were also with her and were watching us carefully.
"Sorry to tell you, hun, but it's a free world, even for us." I replied. Chelsea growled and I watched as Felix stepped up just in time to hold her back.
"I got your pictures! I know how you two have been married! Did you have to rub the fact my power wore off? I thought you two would be separated forever!"
"Chelsea, doesn't Aro tell you to reconnect people to him?" James asked.
"Yes, but…"
"Because they were loosing their trust, their loyalty in him." James finished.
"He said he just wanted me to make it stronger!" Chelsea screamed.
"Then how did Eleazar leave?" I asked. "I mean, he is quite happy and in love with Carmen. Haven't you been able to figure it out yet? Love breaks your power. Love makes you powerless."
"Shut up whore." Chelsea sneered. James growled and stepped in front of me.
"Try it. Try breaking us apart Chelsea." I continued to challenge her. "He might leave now, but we'll find each other again. We'll be together again."
Chelsea was speechless. She was glaring at both of us, but instead of trying to face the challenge, she turned around and stalked out of the club. Demetri and Felix had mixed emotions on their face, but they followed their companion out.
"I can't believe you just did that." James said.
"Neither can I." I replied. "Remind me that the next time we're in Washington to kill Alice."
"She sent the pictures?" James asked.
"Who was taking the pictures at the wedding?" I asked.
"Ok, true. I'll remind you." James said. "Now let's enjoy our night and our time here…"
End Flashback
We had remained in Italy for a few more days without running into any more of the Volturi guard. I still couldn't get over the encounter with Chelsea, but it was easily filed into my memory.
After Italy we went to England, then Switzerland, and finally Ireland. Ireland was kind of hard because of the scarce hunting. I enjoyed the greenery there though. I was able to convince James to stay for a few more nights than originally planned. We spent time in some of the smaller villages and towns. My favorite day was when we went around the Ring of Kerry. We spent the day driving through the green hills and coastline of Kerry. We stopped to see the Beehive Huts and a few other tourist spots on the road.
After Ireland we flew back to the US. We landed in Florida and took off towards the Everglades. As soon as we had left civilization I ran into the forest looking for the first bear. James was not going to steal my bear this time!
Flashback
"Cerys!" I heard James calling as I disappeared into the forest. I continued to weave in and out of the trees. I could hear him following me, but I continued to look for a bear.
I finally caught the scent trail of a bear and turned towards it, picking up speed. I felt my instincts take control. I barely registered that James had stopped or at least slowed down. When I found the bear it was slowly making its way through the trees and shrubs looking for food. Too bad it didn't know that it was about to become the prey…
When my hunger was satiated I looked up to see James watching me. He was smiling as I stood up from the bear. "Should we dispose of the body?"
"I think scavengers will get to it before any rangers." I replied. "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'll go find something. I just wanted to watch you. I haven't in a while." James said. "I've forgotten just how intense and sexy you are when you hunt."
"I think you're delusional and need to hunt." I replied. "Hunting is messy and sticky and…"
"Extremely hot." James said. He kissed me, tasting the blood that was still on my lips. "I'm going to go hunt. Do you want to find some place where we can rest?"
"It's my turn to watch you." I replied.
End Flashback.
Eventually we made our way across the US. We stopped in big cities and more national parks. We even tried to scale the Grand Canyon and that turned out to be interesting. The next time a park ranger goes looking where we were, they're going to find a few large dents in the ground… not that they're recognizable or anything.
Before we made it back to Denali we decided to stop in Forks so I could follow through on killing Alice. Of course she was out the door by the time we made it to the house.
Flashback
I was stalking through the forest for her, changing my plans every few steps so even if she did find a way to see my future she'd be confused. I got lucky in the fact that Jake was near so she eventually became completely blind and I was able to catch her, pinning her down.
"Did you have to send Chelsea those pictures?"
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
"Alice… I know you sent her the pictures. She cornered us at a club one night."
"But you did survive."
"Ya because she can't tell when someone's bluffing." I replied. I released Alice finally and helped her up.
"How about this Alice," James said as he joined us, "you send us the pictures next time and then we'll send them to whoever we want."
"Wait, next time?" Alice asked. Of course Alice would pick up on the one word.
"Alice we were just married! We aren't thinking about a next time. I don't even know if we're going to have a next time because personally, as long as I'm with James, then I don't have to be married." I said as I smiled up at James.
"But it's still nice every few decades…" Alice mumbled.
"It's just nice to relish in what you have." I replied.
"Fine… but you're coming to my weddings!" Alice huffed. We all walked back to the Cullen household where James and I spent a few hours talking.
End Flashback
We still didn't spend long with the Cullens. James' original impression and Bella and his "accident" (aka biting her) still creates tension every time we're around. So we continued our travels and within another two days we were back in Denali…
"What are you thinking about, love?" James asked as he walked into our room. I was back at my perch in front of my window. I watched as the leaves swayed in the wind.
"Just the past year or so."
"It has been fun, hasn't it?"
"It has." I replied. "I've already seen so much that I never thought I would ever see."
"And we still of the rest of eternity."
"O trust me, I know there's always more to see." I smiled. "And do…"
"Definitely to do." James grinned.
"Will you two come back out here?" Tanya asked. I could hear the annoyance in her voice.
"We're coming Tanya." I yelled back. We had only recently arrived and everyone was ready to hear about everything that had happened. Alice had apparently told them a cryptic message about some encounter we had with the Volturi. If Tanya didn't find out soon I'm pretty sure she was going to find some way of tying us down and forcing us to tell her.
"You ready to face them?"
"It's not that bad… they just want to hear a story."
"A very long story." I grunted.
"A very long, but very good story." James grinned. He kissed me on the top of my head before pulling me out of the room to our eager listeners.
