"Dammit!"
Carlisle Morgenstern ran through the streets of London, a glowing blade held firmly in his grasp. Under the cover of glamour, he chased the red-eyed monster. He hadn't seen anything like it before. Pale skin, perfect features, and crimson eyes. It didn't look like any demon he'd yet encountered.
The 23 year old clenched his jaw, continuing to sprint after the creature. He found himself trapped in an alleyway, and he let his guard down for a split second. He cried out as he felt blunt teeth pierce his jugular. He felt some cold substance spill into his veins, and then the creature was gone. It was then that the burning started.
Carlisle managed to drag himself to a hiding place, and kept himself from crying out as he burned. It felt as if he were trapped in an inferno.
"Filius Angeli non fuit viduatus.." A powerful voice seeped into his mind, a smooth liquid dripping into his mouth. The fire lost it's edge, yet for ten days he burned.
Over the following centuries, Carlisle treated his human life as though it were a dream, and took on the name Cullen. It hurt, oh, how it hurt. His transformation had forced him from his wife and child. He could never see his human family again, nor did he know of any descendants at the time, so it was best to forget the past.
He gained his companions, formed his family, and took on the identity of Carlisle Cullen. He suppressed his instincts as best he could, but kept his values for human life. It was easy enough, he supposed. But sometimes, his thoughts would flicker to his former life. Edward would send him strange looks, and questioned him on it. Carlisle told him it was none of his concern.
Then, Edward had come to the hospital with her. From the second he saw her, he knew.
