Entry 03

[smellsyourhair]

Some of you on this boat need to reconsider your manners... but some of you are nice enough, like that green-haired girl who cooks in Sergei's. She's got a great personality. Anyone who wants some nice food, you should give Sergei's a gander.

[Now that his very subtle attempt to hook that ugly girl Herz up with one of the single men on the ship is

[nonewbsickness]

Oh, Edward. You are so kind, helping that girl find a boyfriend. I'm so glad I snatched you up when I could.

[smellsyourhair]

I know. I just want someone else to have the merest taste of the happiness we share, Bella.

[nonewbsickness]

Our love is awesome, Edward. Everyone deserves this kind of love.

[smellsyourhair]

I don't know if they could stand it, Bella. I can't take it, I need to feel you in my arms again--let's go somewhere private.

I've heard good things about this 'Carnival' place.

[nonewbsickness]

Sure. Meet me outside my room?

[smellsyourhair]

I'll be there in just a moment, love.

[Edward rushes out, all liquid grace as he runs faster than the wind. He comes to a stop near her and grabs Bella's hand--then scoops her up into a bridal carry and starts heading for Carnival.]

They said there's trees in there, Bella. It'll be like old times.

[nonewbsickness]

[Edward may move faster than the average human can see, but Bella can see him clear as day. As he scoops her up in his strong, cool, marble-like arms, she buries her face in his neck, a reminder of the old days. Days when she was fragile and couldn't crush a rock in her bare hands, eyes locking on every speck of dust as it flies away.]

Trees? I'll race you...

[smellsyourhair]

[He laughs, cradling her in his arms like she's still the small, helpless child she was when he began smelling her hair and watching her sleep. Ahh, the heady days of romance where he bruised her and carried her around and told her to 'shut up and get behind me'.

He smiles down at her and kisses Bella's forehead as they approach the doors of Carnival.]

Of course, love.

[nonewbsickness]

[In Edward's arms, Bella feels safe and loved. So many memories float through her head. Laying in the meadow, the sight of him in Italy, just before he nearly walked into the sun, his face looking down at her as she nearly died, and her chest aches. If her heart actually worked, it would pound within her chest, each beat full of love, each beat for him.]

I love you.

[smellsyourhair]

[The feeling is almost unreal as it swells within him at the sight of her entrancing, gorgeous eyes. He hits the button to open the doors and they step into the thundering, hellish light of Carnival.

Edward basks in the light of Bella's adoration and he kisses her forehead again. She's more beautiful than words could ever describe.]

I love you more.

[He could stand there forever, captivated by her beautiful, perfect features.]

[nonewbsickness]

[Bella can't help herself. Leaning up, her eyes locked with Edward's deep, soulful golden ones, and she leaned up, one cool hand pulling him down for a hungry kiss. Her teeth nicked his lip, and she flicked her tongue across his lip, his taste setting her nerves on fire.]

Impossible.

And she could do the very same; his own beauty entrancing.]

[elegante_masks]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRNNNGH!

[Have a giant, pissed off, furious pair of bears charging straight at you two.]

[smellsyourhair]

Bella...

[Edward murmurs, stroking her hair from her face. She's so angelic, it's almost as if she were an idealized woman entirely, a woman designed to be a vehicle for an author's escapist fantasies...

But that's crazy.

He blinks, then looks up. He drops Bella.]

Bears!

[nonewbsickness]

Edward...

[He's so beautiful, that he's clearly the object of a mormon lady's wet dreams. And why wouldn't he be? He's so utterly perfect. At least, until he drops Bella, who catches herself with her impeccable inhuman speed.]

Bears?!

[elegante_masks]

[Bears!

While the two vampires hesitated, the bears got much closer. Close enough to bite down on Bella's leg. The other one tackles Edward to the ground and starts trying to gnaw on his head.]

[smellsyourhair]

AUGHHH!

[Edward, of course, flings himself directly into harm's way to protect his gorgeous wife. The very thought of a mere bear hurting her makes him see red, and Edward drives his fist into the first bear's head--but he's been tackled to the ground.

Using his vampiric strength, he kicks the bear in the belly to send it flying. The bear's teeth have punctured the thin bone covering his left temple and he's blind in one eye. He immediately turns to try and help his wife!]
