Carlisle's Decision
CPOV
I thought about all those people at the hospital and wanted to scream. I felt so horrible sitting here all alone biding my time until night so that I could go outside without being exposed. All of those poor people were dying, mostly from the Spanish Influenza, and I longed to go help them. Instead, I have to sit here doing nothing since I don't need any sleep. Sometimes, being a vampire was very depressing. Don't get me wrong, I mean, the speed, the strength, and the better senses are all useful, but right now I just wanted to be human and not feel like I was useless and hiding. Well, I might as well go hunt, no need to take unnecessary chances. I ran out of my house and into the forest. I kept on running until I was sure I was completely away from civilization. Then, I stopped and listened. There about three miles to the east was a heartbeat. I let my nose guide me until I found the large mountain lion. I hid in the bushes until the lion got close enough then pounced. I quickly drained him of his blood, I made sure he didn't suffer much and I stayed clean. I listened again and took down a doe. After about three hours had passed I ran back to my house, got my car, and floored it all the way to the hospital.
"Good evening Dr. Cullen, how was your day," the nurse behind the counter asked.
"Fine, thank you, and yours," I replied politely.
"It was okay but I wish we could do more for the patients I hate seeing them die."
"I know exactly what you mean. How many deaths were there today?"
"Two, I believe," she said sadly, "Here, you can look at the files real quick."
I took the files from her and read the names, dates, and times.
Anthony Banner June 4, 1918 1:23 pm
Edward Masen Sr. June 4, 1918 3:35 pm
I gasped quietly at the second name. He was the husband of one of my patients Elizabeth Masen and the father of Edward Anthony Masen Jr. I quickly walked into the back and found Elizabeth and Edward Masen.
This is my first fanficton and I hoped you really liked it. Please review and don't be afraid to flame. Be completely honest because I want to make my writing better and I can't do that if I don't know what's wrong with it. I'll try to post the next chapter soon but I have school and cheerleading and other things so I might not be able to. Thanx, BellaandEdward4EVER2580 : )
