Bees in a hive
Carlisle's POV
I was out hunting in the middle of the woods on a Friday afternoon. It was drizzling out; a typical day in Forks. It had been a long week at the hospital. On Monday, we had 2 pairs of couples who supposedly got attacked by an animal. I knew better though. I could tell by the wounds that this was an animal but not the kind that the doctors thought of. These couples got attacked by vampires. They supposedly had children. One of the couples had a son named Edward and the other was named Isabella. I personally knew the couples. I had been treating their children since they were both just infants. They are now about 5 years old. They obviously like each other. It's very cute in fact. They hover around each other like bees in a hive as my wife, Esme, put it. It was a shame to see that their parents got attacked. To make it worse, the paramedics said that they couldn't find the children. They think the animal took them. I knew that couldn't be good.
I focused on a smell that hit my senses. It took me about a mile north. I stood there for a few seconds. I heard 2 pairs of heartbeats very close to me. When I looked around I saw no animals so I listen further and I heard voices.
"It's ok, Bella, I'll get us out of here." I heard a young voice say. I recognized it immediately. It was the voice of Edward. I followed his scent and found out he was near Bella. I found a path of bushes and heard a very rapid heartbeat. One of the children was scared. I saw Edward poke his little head out of the bushes and he saw me and smiled. He frowned and went back into the bushes. I pulled the bushes back to reveal Edward holding a small and sick looking Bella in the cradle of his arms. Edward was a strong little boy. He was sitting Indian style with Bella in his lap. He looked at me with worried eyes. He tried to hand her to me but his 5 year old arms wouldn't let him. Instead I squatted down and sat across from him. I tried to take Bella from him but she clung to his shirt. I noticed he didn't have a jacket on, but it was around Bella.
"Bella, Carlisle is here. He can help us." Edward told her. Her eyes snapped open and strait to me. She smiled and I took her from Edward.
"She's just really weak, Dr. Cullen." Edward was always polite. His first words were 'please and thank you'.
"I'm going to take you guy's home with me." I told them. They both nodded and I picked them both up. I ran home at vampire speed. They didn't seem to mind. I got home and no one was to be found. Alice and Jasper were out hunting and Esme was shopping. (No Rosalie and Emmett, yet!!) I took Bella and Edward up to Alice and Jasper's room. I gave Edward one of Jasper's smallest shirts and gave Bella one of Alice's shirts. We went downstairs and to the kitchen. I didn't know how long they have been with out food. I was glad Esme kept some human food in the house for props. They were both sitting at the island.
"What do you guy's want to eat?" I asked. Edward was sitting very close to Bella. Bella was leaning towards Edward. I wanted to take a picture so bad!
"Whatever Bella wants." Edward said. He looked at Bella. She giggled and looked down.
"Whatever Edward wants." She countered. They were just too cute! There heads snapped up to looked at each other. They smiled and looked at me.
"Macaroni and cheese!" They both yelled in unison. Esme was going to love them. I began to cook the noodles when Esme came in. She knew about the kids parents. She dropped her bags and her jaw dropped to he floor.
