This is the story of Carlisle. From the night before his transformation until the end of Twilight.
I do not own Twilight, I only own what comes from my imagination.
Chapter One: Who I am.
(Carlisle's Point of View)
I had a good feeling about tonight. I was never fast to accuse those of being a monster without proof, unlike my father I did not want to kill innocent people.
My father was the Anglican Pastor, he strongly believed in the reality that creatures walked among us. In these thoughts he had lead many hunts in search of witches, werewolves and vampires. In his time as Pastor he did not catch many true creatures and burned many innocent people.
My mother had died almost twenty three years ago, giving birth to me, I was an only child.
When my father became old and frail he had put me in charge of the hunts, while he still continued to preach and carve wooden crosses. He was amazingly talented at this, my favourite cross though was made of dark wood and my father had payed special attention to detail, it was utterly beautiful.
At first I was a disappointment to my father, with my more persistent take on the hunt, I did not catch many. After a while my father grew proud because I had managed to find actual witches and werewolves.
One night on my way home, I saw a group of people, taking refuge in the sewers in the city. They instantly stood out with their pale skin in the background of the night. My god they were beautiful. I never thought anyone could be that gorgeous. But I knew that it wasn't natural. I knew in an instant what they really were, vampires. I went back to the village and warned the towns people as well as my father. I gathered a few men who would accompany me to observe the unholy creatures.
During the day we did not see much because like true creatures of the night they only came out at night. So night is when our hunt for these creatures must begin. When the sun fell from the sky and blackness engulfed our eyes we had our first full look at one of the creature. He was standing near the sewer where I had seen them last night. From the distance it looked almost too pale to be real and moved with incredible speed. I at once feared for the safety of my men and myself.
Luckily it did not seem to notice us, but its attention was swiftly drawn by a young maiden walking along the dark street. I wondered why someone would wander alone, at night. She was totally unaware of the creature until it flew to her side in a most astonishing way. It had glided along the street with unnatural grace, inside myself I felt the urge to save her, but knowing I was unprepared for the task, I could not save her.
My men and I watched as her eyes turned from wonder to pure fear. She tried to run but there was no use, the creature had already grabbed a hold of her and sunk his teeth into her neck. One of my men shifted his weight drawing my attention away from the horrific scene. I could see the longing in his eyes, to save the woman, but we both knew it was impossible.
We watched silently as he dragged the now unconscious woman into a hole, which lead to their hidden hideout. At that moment I knew that we had to act fast before anyone else could be killed by the monstrous creatures who called our city home.
"Tomorrow night we shall return and deal with this evil," I swore to the men, who had bravely accompanied me tonight.
"We shall come with you, and these creatures will exist no more," whispered passionately the man on my right.
Author's Note: That's it for chapter One. Thank you to doraan and sharon who proof read and helped me make this chapter what it is... so thank you.
