Volturi Princess

Forty Six

The flight was around 20 hours in total. We took the private jet. We had to stop and refuel four times but finally we landed in Rio.

"Rio?" I asked. "This isn't pri-,"

"Shh... it's just a pit stop," Demetri chuckled as we got off the plane.

"So we're not staying in Rio?" I asked.

"No. We are. But we are going somewhere else," he said and smiled.

"Where?" I asked

"It's a gift from Esme and Carlisle," he said.

"Mhmm," I tilted my head, confused still.

"It's Isle Esme," he said with a sigh.

I nodded and looked down.

He guided me to the car. "Thirsty? Do you want to hunt before we go on the island?" He asked

I shook my head. "I'm fine," I said and took his hand.

He led me to the car helping me in then getting in on the drivers side.

I smiled and took his hand as we drove to the dock.

I looked out the window and got out. "Do you know how to drive that thing?" I asked nervously.

"No," he paused, putting the bags in the boat, "but I'm a fast learner," he grinned.

I looked down. "No blindfolds," I bit my lip.

He grinned and moved over. "Would you like one?" He asks and lifted my chin up with thumb.

I shook my head no slightly tensing going into a flashback.

James sat me down in the car and tore off the sleeve and tied it around my head, covering my eyes. He then got in next to me pulling me close.

I felt comfort in that. I couldn't see. I trusted him. My heart was racing.

"It's just so you don't see where we are going," he said.

I nodded.

After fifteen minutes he helped me out of the car and into something. A boat? I smelt the ocean.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

There wasn't any answer.

I got splashed quite a few times, making me become cold. After another thirty minutes of complete silence, I was scooped off my feet. I winced my eyes closed tightly scared.

"It's only me," James whispered in my ear.

I nodded. Soon we were inside and I was brought into another room. My blindfold was taken off. I looked around.

"Izzy? Are you okay?" Demetri grabbed my shoulders, concern across his face.

"Yes... sorry. I was just thinking," I whispered.

"About what?" He moved his hand to touch my cheek.

"About when I was away," I said looking down. "They brought me to an island and blindfolded me..." I bit my lip hard.

"I won't blindfolded you dear, I was only kidding," he said and kissed the top of my forehead.

"I know... it just made me think about it," I said

"It's going to be okay," he said and lifted me up and put me in the boat.

"Please don't crash the boat Demetri," I sighed and sat down putting on a life vest, just being over cautious.

"Izzy... sweetheart... vampires can't drown," he said taking a step into the boat.

"I know that," I lied. "I just don't know how to swim,"

He laughed and started the boat "it's just like driving," he said and rubbed my thigh.

I nodded keeping my eyes closed. "Keep focused on the water babe," I said.

He chuckled and moved his hand and drove the boat.

I looked around at the ocean, water splashed me in the face.

"Izzy... I know you're nervous... why are you scared?"

"I am going to die... You're going to crash the boat. You're going to  drown us... you don't even know how to drive the boat," I started.

"Izzy," he paused, "Vampires don't die... or drown... we don't even have to breathe," he chuckled. "So take off the life jacket. And I wouldn't just drive a boat... I took a boating safety test online and I got certified," he said trying to reassure me.

"But we could still crash," I panicked. "And I don't know how to swim."

"Well looks like we are going to learn," he said.

"I hate you," he said.

He rolled his eyes and sped up the boat.

"Can you go any faster?" I grumbled.

"Actually yes," he chuckled and sped up even more.

"I'm fucking kidding," I glared.

"Easy," he said.

"I'm not a horse," I grumbled.

He chuckled and shook his head. "We're almost there," he said taking my hand squeezing it.

I closed my eyes not liking being on the ocean.

The boat stopped. "Babe you can open your eyes... We are here," he said.

I nodded and opened my eyes. Demetri picked me up taking me off the boat carrying me into the house. 

I looked around in awe. "It's so pretty," I said. He let me down. 

He nodded and smiled. 

"How long are we allowed to stay?" I asked him. 

Demetri shrugged. "Aro didn't give me a time limit, so I guess as long as we would like," he came over, grabbing me by the hips, pulling me to his chest. He kissed me, his lips were soft. I loved kissing him. 

I pulled away looking down. 

"Izzy what is the matter?" he asked. 

"Maybe we should check on the kids," I bit my lip.

"Izzy, this is our time," he picked me up.

"But," I sighed. 

"Izzy," he whispered, kissing my neck. Chills were sent down my spine. Oh I know where this is leading to. 

"Demetri," I whispered, blushing. 

"Yes?" he chuckled, kissing my neck once more. 

"I love you," I whispered, breathless. 

He smiled at that. 

"I love you," he whispered against my neck, he carried me to the bedroom laying me on the bed.
