Chapter One: Elizabeth Lincoln
Carlisle was working late that night at the hospital. It was that night that he first saw the girl. She was brought in an ambulance, going to be put in urgent care. A police officer had found her in the park, her wrists covered in blood, a bottle of pills next to her. The girl's body was covered in bruises from abuse. Some bruises were fading, others were just forming, and there were many bruises in between. However, the cuts on her wrists and the swallowing of the pills had been her own choice. The pain of her abuse had been too much. Carlisle worked hard to save that girls life that night. The people running around him, the yelling of the people, and the beeping of the machines did not distract him. He pumped her stomach and wrapped her wrists in bandages. That night everything changed for the Cullen family. That night Carlisle went home with the abused girl from urgent care on his mind. Her name was Elizabeth Lincoln.
