:Isabella:

I looked down at myself as I walked down the hallway with Lucas and Derik at my side. I can't believe Lucas was letting us do this. Derik opened the door to the indoor pool for us. The only people there was Dalton and his family, Kayla, and Orchid. Derik hurried over to Kayla.

"We are so screwed." Lucas muttered. "You think, they expect us to swim and we never learned how to swim." I muttered. Lucas nodded as he looked at the water.

"Isabella!" Dalton yelled happily. Dalton was floating in the water with wolf swimming pants. He was of course shirtless showing off his chest and his abs. Curse these werewolves. I simply nodded. "Damn." Lucas said looking at Dalton. Dalton then went underwater and began swimming.

"Lets go sit." Lucas said as he lead us to two chairs. Sitting down I looked at the pool. Kayla was currently on top of Derik's shoulders. Kayla had a grin on her face as Derik dove under water. They were so cute together.

I looked at Lucas. "Ship name yet?" I asked Lucas. Lucas nodded with a smirk. "Dayla." Lucas said as he watched them. I smiled at them. "I also have one for you and Dalton." Lucas said with a smirk. I flipped him the middle finger. "Della." Lucas said happily. "Satan gave me that ship name too." I said.

"Yeah he told Lilith, and Lilith told me and I liked it." Lucas said with a smirk. 'Your an evil little boy.' 'There is nothing little about me and thank you for calling me evil.' My face flushed red. "Did you call Satan a little boy again?" Lucas asked again. I nodded. "When will you learn." Lucas said sighing.

"When Satan and Lilith end their fling, I'll learn after that." I said cockily. 'Give up that body, that's like you giving up hunting.' Satan defiantly had a thing for Lilith.

Lucas leaned back and yawned. "I really hope they don't ask us to swim." Lucas said as he looked up. "I know cause if they do I'm not going anywhere past three feet." I said as I laid back. "That's just with those floats." Lucas said. I grinned at him and laughed.

"You gonna use the animal ones?" I asked as I watched Alex swim by. He wasn't even using floats, and he was in the eight feet zone! What was it with these werewolves. Alex turned around and waved at me happily. I smiled at him and waved back. He was like the little brother I never had.

Right then Ryne and Enyr walked in. Talking about brothers, here they are. Enyr looked at me and pointed to me. Ryne nodded, then they walked towards us. "So what did you learn about the shtriga?" Ryne asked as he sat down with Enyr.

"Something powerful summoned it since its not attacking anything." I answered. "Ok, we'll check in with that." Enyr said as he tossed his ginger bangs to the right. Ryne tossed his to the left. Yup they were mirror twins.

"I'm go swim." Enyr said standing up and walking away. I looked at him shocked. "I thought you two didn't know how to swim, Mom and Dad never taught us." I said. "Yeah we learned by ourselves with some help from books." Ryne answered. That is so not cool.

"You still don't know how to swim?" Ryne asked shocked as he stood up. "Well I became a hunter and it never seemed important." I said angrily. Ryne laughed. "I'm gonna solve mine and Enyr's problem with the Organization." Ryne said. "I'm gonna help and you can't tell me I can't." I said. Ryne nodded then ran into the pool.

Orchid was swimming with Andrew. Andrew was dragging her along as she held onto him. They were adorable. It was cute that Orchid got a chance at something she wanted. Her coven barely let her do what she wanted. They thought her pureblood line was precious and she should be sheltered.

Orchid turned to me and smiled. "Do we have any missions?" Lucas asked. "I think there's a harpy around here that got out and they want us to execute it." I said leaning back. Lucas nodded as he closed his eyes. 'I don't swim either but Lucifer fights over water because he can glide his wings across the water.'

I imagined Lucifer in his true form. Lucifer had pitch black wings. That's all that I was gonna say. Rodney was racing with Rory in the pool. Noah and Max were doing flips underneath water or seeing who can hold their breath the longest. They had a big family. To think they had another brother or sister on the way. Then there will be seven Ashford siblings.

Right then water splashed on both of us. Rory stood there with a smirk. "Are you two gonna get in or what?" Rory asked with a smile. "We're good here." Lucas said. Dalton and Rodney had swim to where Rory was. Rodney splashed even more water on us. "Your not melting." Rodney said in a teasing tone. Dalton even laughed.

Lucas looked at them in horror. "I am melting." Lucas said as he pulled at his skin. Orchid was smirking at us as she held on to Andrew. That sneaky little witch, she put them up to this. "Come on you two, the waters not cold." Dalton said. "Yes it is." Lucas said back. I nodded in agreement.

"I'm not going in." Lucas whispered to me. "I know, I'm sometimes scared of drowning in the bath, I wouldn't survive in a pool." I whispered back to Lucas. Lucas nodded as he examined the pool. "How does an eight year old swim in the eight foot zone?" Lucas asked amazed as Alex continued to swim around.

"He's a magical person, plus he's a werewolf who was taught how to swim." I answered as Alex climbed out of the pool. Dalton smirked at me. What was he planning?

Suddenly cold water had begun dripping on me. I let out a scream and practically jumped on Lucas. "Your wet." Lucas said. They all laughed at us. Alex grinned at me as he stood where I was sitting. "Come on you two get in the water." Alex said as water dripped from his black locks.

Both of us shook our heads. "Please or I will cry." Alex said with puppy dog eyes. "Fine." Lucas said as he stood up. Reluctantly I stood up. Alex dragged us into the pool. 'Satan its cold.' 'Its water of course it will be at first.'

Suddenly Dalton grabbed my shoulders. Alex had dragged Lucas somewhere. Dalton grinned at me as his grip on my shoulders loosened. "It wasn't that bad now was it?" Dalton asked as he let me go. Currently the water was up to my thighs. Curse being short.

Dalton grabbed my hand and began dragging to the deep end. Shot. "Um I don't want to." I said attempting to make him stop. "Its not that bad." Dalton said as continued dragging me forward. 'Tell him you can't swim.' 'Hell no, plus I did a few months ago.' 'He obviously doesn't remember.'

Soon Dalton was holding me up when we were in the eight foot zone. No way was I letting go. If I could float I'd of punched him by now. Dalton looked at me as I clung to his arm. His arm was keeping me up and preventing me from drowning.

"You can swim now." Dalton said as he attempted to take his arm back. I looked around for Orchid. She was on the other side. No way was I gonna make it in time. Dalton's arm was taken away from me. Then hell broke lose.

I began thrashing around. Dalton was extremely shocked. "I can't swim." I said. Dalton looked at me confused. I repeadily said that but the water was loud and he couldn't hear me.

Then I felt myself go under. "Isabella!" Dalton yelled. Ryne turned around and swore. "You idiot she was never taught how to swim." Ryne said. I don't know what happened after that. Except people had dived after me. 'Help.'

SO... No worries Isabella wont die. But who saves her???? By the way I have published the first chapter to Beta's Little Strawberry, a novelette for this series. Its Kadan and Alana's stories. It wont be updated quickly since I put most of my time into this story. But maybe once a week. Until next time you water marshmallows.
