CHAPTER 1
ESME'S POV
It's been two months since we shifted to forks and I can't believe my family is still insisting on redecorating the house. Just a week more and they will start going to school again, so here I sit in my car, standing on a red light.
The sun was down, perfect time of the day to come out-relax. Forks didn't have a proper market as such; just a few shops here and there. While looking around, that's when I saw him, again. It was an involuntary reaction, but my blood started boiling, or if it was possible, it would. I didn't see him face to face, just a reflection in a shop, I saw Charlie Swan after 300 years and had the same hatred I had with that name so many years ago. I avoided him and took the other turn and headed off straight towards the hospital.
CHARLIE'S POV
How much damage can a family make in 1 year? Oh right-my family. We were in Alaska and my so called son, Adam, literarily blew the school in one night, when they planned a race. No one found any evidence, but we had to stay for a week, just to avoid suspicion. My daughter Bella raced him and won, but she didn't displace a single grain of sand.
So, we shifted to a small town named Forks, perfect for us, for what we are. Renee my wife found a cute comfortable house next to a small meadow. The location was perfect for a person like Adam. We gave him and his partner-my other daughter-Elizabeth the room facing the meadow. She likes to be called Lizzy, as Elizabeth sounds "old fashioned" as she terms it. Though Bella fought for the room, but because of the houses sake she agreed with a deal. A deal to make another storey, and the whole floor hers.
Renee and Bella were setting the floor so I took the time to go around the town. I noticed Forks had just a few shops. While crossing I also noticed not to underestimate Forks traffic. I was looking at the traffic stuck on the red light. That's when I saw her. The cars window was down, and she looked just the same as so many years ago. It wouldn't be long until she notices me, but still I just twisted as if viewing inside a shop. After a few moments I realized she had gone, she saw me because she changed her lane and I guess she went somewhere else, where her intention wasn't, before. I still can't figure out why but involuntarily my blood just boiled, or I thought it boiling.
ESME'S POV
I reached the hospital faster than I should, I was tired of telling Edward and Emmett to drive in speed limit but today I was thankful they had installed the build in radar detector in my lovely Audi Cope.
I never liked coming to the hospital, I still can't believe how Carlisle could stay near blood. But blood wasn't my only problem. I could sense the other nurses cursing me for even existing, because I am a vampire- they don't know that-, but because I'm Carlisle's wife.
Carlisle is young and a lot of the nurses have a crush on him, well that's what Edward said, and I can trust him on that. I wish I could tell them to think or re-evaluate the situation they dream with Carlisle.
I rushed through the hall, straight towards Carlisle's office. He is also very talented, in two months he's gotten such a high post of senior doctor.
I'm never so impatient about anything nor do I lose my self control, but it was involuntary. Carlisle has a theory on this, he thinks I'm extra possessive about it. Genetic can't help it.
I opened the door with a little more than required force and thanked god it didn't break. Carlisle was shocked to see my lack of control over my patience and anger.
"Carlisle, I saw him" I broke out. "He was alone, but I think he has a coven too. He's here, why is he here? What should we do?"
Carlisle's eyes widened, "Who are you talking about?" He asked in a gentle tone.
I felt embarrassed with my voice shaking like this, "Charlie Swan."
I still didn't see any change in his facial expression. I had told him about Charlie.
"Calm down, honey," Carlisle finally spoke. "I know Charlie is here, he is the new chief of police. They moved down from Alaska a week ago. They got the house near the small meadow; he has a lovely wife Renee, two daughters-Elizabeth and Isabella- and a son-Adam. And yes Elizabeth and Adam are mates or couple. They will be joining Forks high school in a week too."
"Carlisle, you know so much and didn't inform me? You know I can't stand in the same room or in this situation same town as Charlie. You know that…about our families."
"Yes dear, but you also told me that his family was as civilized as yours and come on, it's the past, honey. I know it means a lot to you but that doesn't mean we have to ruin our children's stay here, and same goes for his. His children are as ignorant as ours in this matter"
"But still-"Esme was interrupted by a knock on the door
"Come in" Carlisle called.
A man entered, would be in his late twenties, he was wearing a white coat like the other interns, short black hair. He had sharp features and had a sort of tanned body. It seemed like he came from California or a place like that.
"The patient in room 5 has gained consciousness…I-I'm sorry to interrupt"
"No, its okay, we were finished. I'll come in a min" after the intern left Carlisle turned to me." Can we talk about this later? And honey please calm down, nothing bad is going to happen. You're stronger than this; now go home before the others get worried.
He gave a light kiss on my cheek and exited his office.
What was I doing? I still don't know and don't understand actually why there was a mutual disparity between our families; it's as if it's innate.
I went around the table and sank in Carlisle's leather chair. I still remember the day I got converted, I wasn't even blood related, but then who is? We can't reproduce in our kinds, well it's sort of not recommended. I was born as a royalty, a Cullen, one of the oldest, powerful vampire clans, but then one night my family was wiped out. No one knows how or who did it. I was the only survivor left. Vowed to protect my clan I traveled to search the slightest hint of what had happened. I was in Texas when a messenger approached me and told me about the suspicious acts of the Swan family of a few months ago. Another royalty, equally powerful, that's when things became clear of how even the swan clan got wiped out in one night. Only Charlie from Swan clan remained. There was a rivalry between our clans for centauries, rivalry over power and area. After that incident I hated Charlie swan even more. I avoided him for three centauries and now he's in Forks.
It was my phone that pulled me out of my thoughts. I checked the called ID, it was Edward. Always the caring one.
"Hello" I answered.
"Mom, dad called me awhile ago, told me you were felling low. I waited but where are you?"
"I'm still at the hospital. I'm fine Edward don't worry."
"Stay there, I'll pick you. Bye."
"Okay, bye" I shut the phone and thought what Carlisle said. Yes, I don't want to ruin there stay here. I sat back at the chair waiting for Edward and replayed the whole thing in my mind again. But somehow I think now I should approach Charlie. What's the worse thing that can happen, a fight? I'll have a talk with Carlisle about it at home. Just then the door opened again, but this time it was Edward.
EDWARD'S POV
"Edward, get down here, this is your home too" Alice screamed from downstairs. Gosh! I can't believe it, they're still not done yet?
"Alice, do what you want. Just leave my room, I've fixed it. The rest of the house is yours." I screamed back. She mumbled something in her head but I avoided it. Well I can read minds and sometimes it gets very inconvenient. This is my heaven, my only place where I could have peace in mind.
I heard Esme leave, can't blame here. Her mind is always pre-occupied, I tried hearing her thoughts, but when ever she thought of her old family, she use to block it and start thinking about something else. Carlisle gave me full access to his mind, so I know what happened. I realized I was lost in my visions, in Esme's past, but something looked really odd, I talked with Carlisle and he thinks the same. As if something important was missing in her memory.
That's when my phone ran, it was Carlisle "Hello, dad"
.
"Edward, your mom is here, and she's a little low, she says she saw Charlie today, in Forks."
"Charlie is here, there is a possibility she can bump into him, you only told me they moved here a week ago."
"Yes, that exactly what I'm saying. I got a call, but your mom looked pretty stressed."
"Okay dad, I'll take care of it. Bye."
"Bye Edward."
After talking with Carlisle I called Esme, had a short talk and then found myself running towards the hospital. It would be faster and mom already has a car there.
I heard mom's thoughts again when I reached the door, I know it's eavesdropping, but this is the only way I can listen to her. She wasn't expecting me so early I guess. She had replayed the whole thing in her head and that's when I saw the flaw. I had to talk to Carlisle about this. I opened the door when I thought she was expecting me. She had a smile on her face. I was lucky I had a mother like Esme.
The track of her thoughts changed, this time it was her stay in Italy. Italy, 300 years ago. The cities were very beautiful, but Volterra felt wrong. I could never have peace with Volturi.
We went out to the car and I drove. I tried to keep it in speed limit, but I knew mom was driving way over the speed limit when she came to the hospital. She was really upset about this. We talked about school and once in awhile she thought what Carlisle told her about Charlie's children attending the same school.
I never asked Esme directly about anything, I know it would hurt her, so I just listened.
I hope you people enjoyed it^^
