Angela watched mournfully as yet another leaf fell off the tree. Summer was once again coming to an end, forcing her to remember her long abandoned past. Just remembering those days made Angela sigh. Out of sadness or relief she still was not sure. She knew too well that for all those enticements there was evil lurking, even if that evil was masked.
'Enough,' Angela scolded herself. 'The past is in the past. There is nothing here that can force me to return.'
But of course that was a lie, a lie that she all too well knew.
Absence. A feeling Jasper was not all too familiar with. It was unnatural and strange in a way that at the same time was bliss. His gaze followed the rest of the patients and yet Jasper felt nothing. These people felt no emotion, harboured no feelings, the sight was unsettling.
Jasper only came at the request of Carlisle. He said zombie-like patients were turning up and he wanted Jasper to find out if they were in pain. But these mindless people simply stayed in their beds. Never feeling as the hospital staff awaited their needs.
Jasper exited the room as he went in search of his "father". He saw him talking with one of the nurses as Jasper approached...
"Oh, hello Jasper," said the young nurse.
The wave of embarrassment hit jasper as he leaned towards Carlisle. "I'll explain everything in the house. I think Edward will need to come."
"Well," said Carlisle," Yes, it's best that you take off."
Jasper gave a curt nod at both Carlisle and the nurse as he made his way out of the hospital and towards the parking lot.
'Who said that Forks would be an uneventful place to live in?'
