Carlisle.
I've always wondered what made humans so brutal. I know I cant judge, I am after all a monster. But humans have no excuse. They are determined to destroy everything beautiful. It sickens me. Here we are, vampires trying to defy our instincts because we know what monsters we are. Humans don't even realize how monstrous they are.
I was on a hunt with Edward and Bella. Giving into my instincts I pounced on a mountain lion and gracefully but forcefully drained it of all its blood. When I was done I released the dead lion and looked around for Edward and Bella. They were both just picking of a few deer. I calmed myself down, I was done hunting for now. Faintly in the distance I could smell a human. I listened. I heard a little whimpering.
"Edward." I said in a normal voice, knowing he would hear.
"Yes, father?" he asked and he appeared next to me.
"Listen, can you hear that?" I saw him pause.
"A human?"
"Yes, but she's crying and she doesn't sound very old…." I trailed off.
"Shall we find her?" he asked. I contemplated it for a moment. Would we scare her? She was crying, I didn't want to make it worse. But we weren't always the most dangerous thing out here. I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to her and I had the power to have stopped it.
"Yes, but I think Bella should go home…she had blood all over her and we don't want to scare her." I smiled politely at her. "Sorry Bella, no offense."
"None taken Carlisle, I do look a bit scary!" she called, still stalking a deer.
"I'll be back in a minute love, will you be okay?" Edward whispered to Bella.
"I'm fine, you go." She replied.
We broke into a run in the direction that the sent came from. I was still thinking about weather this is the right thing to do or not.
"I think it is." Edward said, commenting on my thoughts. 'I hope it is' I thought. As we got closer I started to regret coming to take a look. I could her the poor girl sobbing and I was going to make it worse. I could see her in the distance. We stopped a little way from her. She was sitting on a log, head in her hands sobbing. She was all alone. Her hair was dark brown and short. Not as short as Alice's but still quite short, it was curly but her fringe was straight. She had ivory skin which was such a beautiful contrast to her dark hair.
"Do you want me to go?" Edward said for only me to hear.
"No, I'll go." I said and made my way over to her at human speed.
