Edward’s POV

We made our way north up the east coast of Brazil to Salvador da Bahia. During the trip all everyone wanted to talk about was the game we would be hunting and meeting with Nahuel and Huilen. 

“Well Uncle Em, are you going to make it,” Renesmee asked her uncle with a grin on her face. “I mean there aren’t any bears, but I hear there are some giant rodents. That ought to be fun for you,” she giggled.

“Yes they’re called capybara,” Carlisle interjected. “But I would reconsider before eating one, after all have you ever tasted a rodent before? Although, they do get to be upwards of 200 pounds, but aaagh the smell.”

“I’m willing to try pretty much anything at least once. It can’t kill me right, so why not,” Emmett stated. 

“Emmett if you even think about going near one of those stupid rats you won’t touch me for a week! How could you consider feeding from a rat,” Rosalie threw at her husband.

“Aw babe, come on. It was just a joke. Ed, tell her I was kidding,” he said looking to me.

“He was kidding, sort of.”

With that Rosalie stormed off and headed through the forest. “Great. Thanks Edward,” Emmett called as he went after her. They headed towards the rendezvous point near Gurupi in the state of Tocantins located in Central Brazil. 

We all followed and as we neared the city Renesmee was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She just couldn’t wait to see Nahuel. They have been friends and pen pals for years, but this is the first time they have seen one another with Renesmee as a mature women despite her physical age. It was something that both Bella and I were worried about. 

We had to cross the Amazon River which really wasn’t much of a challenge. Making our way through the forest at a rate that Jacob, Seth, and Renesmee could keep up with made the trip a little longer, but we still made it there in less than an hour. I knew we were close because I could hear the thoughts of Nahuel and his aunt. Strangely I heard another voice in my mind as well. This was definitely someone I did not know.
