I like to look for stuff

Back on Jackson's yacht, King Charles, Uncle John, and Uncle James all took advantage of this break in their travel time to fish. Hoping to snag a couple of albacore tuna for dinner tonight.

Queen Victoria, mother Sophia and Aunt Monica relaxed in the sun watching the younger crowd swim and play around in the water.

Jackson and Ethan competed with each other to see how many flips they could turn from the platform they had used earlier before hitting the water.

While Karmen, Rylee and Brooklyn did some deep water running in life jackets, a great low impact exercise. After the girls finished their exercise Brooklyn went back to the top deck to set in the sun with the older ladies.

Leaving Jackson , Karmen ,Ethan and Rylee playing a game of water tag. However no one was ever able to find Rylee. After the game they climbed out of the water and set on the platform to take a break.

" Just where was you hiding at?" Jackson ask Rylee, he had swam all around the yacht, behind the coral reef and around a large rock close to the reef , he found everyone else with in a matter of minutes. But never even got a glimpse of Rylee.

She giggled, "In the old wrecked ship."

" What?" Ethan ask, glancing over at Jackson at the same time Jackson looked at him,both in disbelief.

Jackson chuckled, "no, really Rylee where was you hiding?" Jackson ask again,not believing what she just said ,the old ship wreck was too deep for free diving without being weighed to descend quickly and an air tank.

" In the old wrecked ship." She repeated, a bit louder this time "Behind that big bell."

" Is that possible", Ethan ask Jackson, Curiously wondering if Vampires could dive that deep with out equipment.

" I've never heard of it before. You know I wear the same dive gear as you do. We could probably do it with weights."Jackson replied, as he looked at Rylee curiously.

"Let me and Ethan get our gear and you show us." Standing up immediately, he and Ethan went straight to the room where they had stored their gear. Grabbing new air tanks and pulling on their wetsuits.

"Could this be some kind of strange abilities she has?" Ethan ask, while him and Jackson check their equipment to make the dive.

Jackson shrugged " It could be, You know me and Alex have a few" He didn't mention Karmen having abilities because that's her story to tell.

" How deep can you dive, with out a tank?"

" Probably just a little deeper then you, I really don't know. I've never seen the thrill of free diving. I like to go down and look around awhile. Have you ever done any free diving?"

"Not a bit. I'm like you I like to go down and look around, explore a cave or like we done today go through an old shipwreck ." Ethan replied

. Alex may be able to go slightly deeper then the two of us, but I don't know how deep. Alex is a little bit of a thrill seeker but I don't believe he's ever done any free diving. He uses scuba gear also,vampires breath air too. And one thing we both know Rylee didn't have any weights " Jackson explained

Ethan chuckled,"Maybe she's a fish."

"I don't know, but we're going to see." He replied ,In a few minutes him and Ethan stepped back on the platform.

" Okay Rylee, take us to the place you where hiding,now when you can't go deeper don't force it. And if you need it ,I'll share my air with you."Ethan said

Ethan and Jackson both jumped into the water putting their respirators and mask on then Rylee jumped in. The three of them descended deep into the depths of the ocean. With every few minutes that passed Ethan and Jackson continued to check their dive computers both watching Rylee curiously, until they reached the bow of the old ship. They continued swimming going deeper up into the wheelhouse and around the front of it until they reached a large bell.

Both Ethan and Jackson watched in disbelief as Rylee waved her hand for them to follow her deeper until she reached the stern of the old of ship showing them the large propeller . After showing them the propeller she waved her hand for them to follow her up to the surface. Jackson and Ethan both immediately checked their dive computers.

" Wow!" Ethan exclaimed " That was six hundred and twenty feet . And we stayed down for forty minutes.

She giggled " That propeller is the first place I hid. Then I got board and hid behind that bell."

" Rylee can anyone else in your family dive like that? "Jackson ask curiously, knowing Rylee came from an old family and vampire abilities are inherited.

Rylee shrugged, " I don't know, I know mom can't, but I'm not sure about uncle Scott. I guess you could ask him."

Seeing Jackson wasn't freaking out Ethan relaxed " Well I guess the next time Jackson and I go diving you can tag along."

" I'd like that, mom's too uptight, she blows a gasket when I stay out in the ocean to long when we go to Jamaica." Rylee smiled

"What's the longest time you have stayed underwater?" Jackson ask, she just stayed underwater for forty minutes. And she looked fine, actually more then fine when they resurfaced she didn't gulp for air or seem out of breath. All she did was wipe the air out of her face and climb up on the platform.

" I'm really not sure." She shrugged " When me and mom go on vacation. I like to look for stuff on the ocean floor, I take a mesh bag with me and collect stuff. You know like shells, rings, watches whatever is down there. Sometimes I get distracted and that's when mom goes ballistic."She explained

After Jackson and Ethan questioned Rylee they took their wetsuits and air tanks back to the storage area . And everyone gathered on the sundeck around the pool to eat a lite lunch the four older ladies made, consisting of chicken salad sandwiches, chips, fresh fruit and for dessert a delicious banana pudding.

Jackson and Ethan agreed to clean and grill the fresh Albacore the older guys caught today. And the girls agreed to cook the rice and steamed vegetables and clean after dinner. Everyone was happy to pitch in with the cooking and cleaning. Well almost everyone.

Brooklyn glared at Jackson, She grumbled

" Jackson are you going to continue living like a commoner after you get married." Not being used to house work or cooking. This trip on a luxurious yacht without a chef or a maid had become a nightmare for her. She had never put dishes in a dishwasher or made a bed in her whole life. She really didn't know how long she could take this.

" what?" Jackson ask confused, Compared to a normal person his lifestyle seems pretty lavish he thought. He owns a luxury super yacht, lives in a mansion and has an impressive collection of sports cars.

" I mean,"she sighed "you need to hire some domestic help. You have that one old maid and that gardener and their both a hundred years old."

"Brooklyn do you need a job? " Jackson chuckled "I'm not hiring anyone right now, but Alex is probably going to need another maid at the Castle. I don't think Harper is coming back."Jackson grinned mischievous, he knew his stuck up cousin didn't want to work as a maid,and he had been watching her give Harper the evil eye at Alex's wedding.

"Well no" she huffed Ignoring Jackson's comment about Harper " I was just thinking about your lovely wife. You don't even have a chef."

" Don't worry yourself about that Brooklyn, unlike you ,my wife is a fantastic cook. She even took culinary classes. She loves cooking "Jackson praised

Not wanting to hear Brooklyn whin anymore Ethan change the topic of the conversation. " Jackson what's there to do on this Island."

"No clubs or restaurants,but it has a great beach and a forest area. Actually only two people live there full time."

" Oh, that's unusual. It sounds like a beautiful place." Aunt Monica chimed into the conversation

"It is mom, it's really peaceful and private, there won't be any reporters and the only people that will be taking pictures is the family and the photographer we hired." Karmen informed her
