Paradise I Wish! Truly I Do

Paradis Retreat: When Did Paradis Become So Popular?

A/N: - The Cullens seem to have some plan for Bella, pity she's not going to comply, xx Alexis

Welcome to Paradis! Yeah right! More like the second tier of Hell! It could be wonderful here. Wait a minute, this sounds awfully familiar, a touch of déjà vu, methinks!

Paradis Retreat

'They are the most overdressed, pampered, self-absorbed, money orientated freaks, I've ever seen'

Well most of them were, the leader was a Doctor of all things and he at least acted human, when around them anyway. His wife looks like a 50's reject homemaker and the perfect little woman to boot!

'Don't they pay attention to the world around them, women don't look or behave like that anymore, sheesh!'

But it got worse, there are 2 more females and 2 males in that coven. They dress like English prep school kids, but two were way too old for that crap!

'I don't know who is advising them but they have done a shit job so far, it's embarrassing!'

Everyone in town was talking about them and how rich and spoilt they look. Bella and Vicki didn't seek them out, they came to them, well Vicki really as they probably didn't know Bella existed due to the no scent thing.

It was late evening, the lodge was quiet for once, all the day staff were gone and the few guests settled in for the evening. They all but two came straight in the front door, one Bella sensed waited outside the front, off to one side, as if waiting for any sign of trouble. But the other,

'Sneaky little fucker',

She was attempting to break in through the back of the retreat, aiming for Bella's room window and that shit wasn't gonna fly around here.

'How dare they presume they could just break into our home, arrogant bastards'.

She waited until the female vampire opened the window, triggering the silent alarm, Vicki will see it flashing on the panel under the desk and probably smile.

"Welcome to Paradis Retreat! Was there something of particular interest I could explain to you or did you just want to look around? We have a Spa Area, Reading Room/Library, Internet Cafe and Gift Shop over and above the normal travelling salesmen or holiday maker accommodations!" Vicki said,

She was giving them the usual spiel and Bella could hear the laughter in her voice, as she would she was sure, be sweetly smiling at them all.

Bella heard the one from the front move into the lodge as she took the burglar one apart, the usual, head, arms and legs off,

'That's strange! I know I was trying to be quiet, but shouldn't that have made a noise like when I did it to Laurent and James!'

Bella was a little confused about that but carried on anyway, Vicki will know the answer, she'd ask her later. Back to the little sneak,

'Nobody breaks into my home and gets away with it, who the fuck do they think they are?'

Moving to the head of the small staircase which led to the staff level, after throwing the torso, arms and legs out of her window and pulling down the metal shutter.

Bella had the head swinging in her hand by its ludicrous spiky hairdo,

"Does this piece of shit belong to you, Dr Cullen?" she said and paused for effect, before continuing, "Well, may I suggest you train it better, my bedroom window is not the entrance to this Retreat! You, Doctor, have two minutes to explain yourself before I light her up!" Bella inform him.
