I Don't own Twilight
Carlisle POV
People say that when you make a snap decision that most times it's for the best, but right now I have no idea why I just did that. It could have been from Esme's pleads or my own compassion. I have no idea.
Esme and I were on a hunting trip and we went to Phoenix. I heard there where a coyote problem and me and Esme needed some time alone. We planned to stay a week. Like a second mini honeymoon. Well the week was great, but on the last day we got a unexpected surprise.
The last day it was a cast over, so we could go in the day light and not be notice. Well it was dusk out when we were headed back to the car. Esme wanted a new comforter so we went shopping. When walking back to the car, we heard this low moan. It sounded like someone was in pain.
As we were walking past a dark alley we heard it again and I smelled blood.
"Carlisle, what do you think it is?" Esme said as we started to walk down the alley.
"I have no idea." I answered. When we walked about ten more feet we saw her. More like Esme saw her first, because one second she was beside me the other she was on the ground dragging what look like a person. The person was covered with dirt and bruises that you couldn't tell what color her skin was. Next I noticed that what was left of her clothes were covered in blood, and I could tell that were the wound was it was infected.
"Carlisle, what are we going to do?" Esme looked at me with so much sadness that I knew if she was still human she would be crying. Esme could smell the infection and knew that she didn't have that much time.
"We could stay with her until the end, to make sure that she didn't die alone." That's all I could think of. The girl looked so young, so innocent. Who would do this. Anger built up inside me, I had to push it back down. There was no way I could find the person now. There was so much blood on the ground that it looks like that she was here for at least the night.
Esme's eyes got wide and I knew what she was thinking. I started to shake my head. There was no way I was changing her. "Carlisle she had so much to live for. She doesn't deserve to die this way." She did have a point. I think she saw the indecision in my eyes because she pounced on it. "And she so young just look at her." She laid the girls head in her lap and she moan again.
"Esme, I promised the kids I wouldn't change anyone else. Our family is big enough." This is hard. Just imagine what Edward would think. Let alone Rosalie.
"Carlisle please. I can't bare to watch her die." I looked into her eyes and I knew that what I was going to end up doing. Esme knew as much as I did that I couldn't reset to help some, especially someone so young. So instead of answering her I just bent my head to the girls neck and bit were the pulse was weak. I took only enough to make sure that my venom entered her system.
"Take her to the car, I'll clean up here." There can't be any evidence that she was here.
Esme stood up and gave me kiss. "Thank you Carlisle. You know you know you did the right thing." Esme picked up the girl and ran to the car. I had to find some water clean this mess up. I just could not think about what just happened. It was too much.
After I brook into one of the apartments and grab a bucket with some water, I wash all of the blood away. After that I ran back to the car. Esme was in the back set with the girl in her lap trying to calm her. It wasn't working. "Carlisle how long do we have until we're back at home?"
"About ten hours. Don't think about any of this or decide to do anything I don't want them to find out about it yet." I really don't want them mad for ten hours and think of ways to kill the girl. I love my children, but I know Edward and Rosalie. They will vote kill her. I don't think I could bare that. Even if I did promise.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When we made it back to the house, I kept repeating what we did in my head. I could heard Esme hum and song that she heard on the radio. The girl on the other hand was still moaning, but the screams did stop, and I know that Edward will be out here soon to know why he can hear a person's pain.
I pulled into the grange and I see everyone's cars. Either there they know or they don't. I really don't think they do because Alice would have been out here, bouncing up and down. Well at least she'll have a friend.
I got out of the car and walk around to help Esme out. I took the girl from her and walk slower them human pace to the house. I know by now the kids know something is up. The girls moans are getting louder so the venom is starting to attack the heart. She must be in so much pain.
We walk in to the living room where everyone is sitting, some of them with stunned faces, others with pure anger, those being Edward and Rosalie. I just walked past all of them and up the stairs. Esme is the one to pick out the room that we put her in and she picks the one right next to Edwards room. I heard a hiss down stairs so I know he can see this.
"I'll stay with her Carlisle." Esme takes her from me and sets her on the bed. I walk out without a word. I have to go deal with our children who I know are still waiting.
I make it down stairs and look into the living room. All of them have moved. I heard heavy breathing from the dining room. Of course they want a vote. I make my way to the dining room and I see all of them. Edward and Rosalie our at the top of the table looking pissed off, Alice is next to Edward with a shocked face. Emmett is next to Rosalie looking worried, and Jasper is behind Alice looking pissed off as well, most likely because that's the most dominate emotion in the room. I walked to the head of the table and sat down and then it all started.
"How could you! You change a girl and didn't even think about!" Rosalie said.
"Rosalie I did think about what this would mean." I tried to reason with her.
"Really Carlisle, because you don't even know the girls name. Did you think what this would mean for the rest of us? Do you know that newborns or dangerous. And does this mean that we have to move now because we can't let her near people."
"Rosalie," I started, but Edward cut me off.
"Rosalie's right Carlisle, you should have not changed her. Making a snap decision like this could have cost us. Someone could have seen you. And what about her parents? Wont they worry about what happened to their daughter?" He did have a point. I look over and saw his smug expression.
"Edward's right what are we going to do about this whole thing? We could burn her, before she changes." Rosalie suggestion hit a spot deep down. She has so much to live for.
"Carlisle, Rosalie's right. We need to take care of her before she changes all the way." Edward put in.
"NO!!" We all heard from up stairs. Next we saw Esme enter the room. "You're not killing her. I asked for her to be changed and you're not going to kill her because it's a risk. You didn't see her when we found her." She had so much emotion in her voice that I knew that she would cry if she could.
"Esme, Millions of people die every year how can this one girl be different?" Esme looked at Edward and I think he got a little paler. Then snarled. After that Esme went back up stairs to tend to our new guess.
"If that's how you two feel I'm going!" Rosalie said.
"Rosalie you know we want you here," I tried
"Stop! I don't need to hear it" With that she walked out. I could hear that when she got out the front door she started to run. Emmett was next. I knew that he would try and reason with her.
"I'm going hunting." Edward said and ran out the door. Jasper didn't say anything just stood Alice up and walked out of the house. I guess the welcome home part was forgotten.
I sighed and walked up the stairs to the room where the girl was. Esme was already holding her hand. When everyone left she started to scream.
"Don't worry about them they'll come around." Esme said trying to confert me.
"I really hope so Esme. I really hope so."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It's been three days, and none of them have come back. I'm starting to worry.
"Carlisle stop pacing there fine. They'll come back when they're ready." Esme was still holding the girls hand. Her heart was speeding up, so it was almost time.
"I know, but they are our children." I said.
"I know but there also grown, and they know that we'll welcome them back. Now we have a new addition to our family." The girls heart stopped. Esme and I stood by the bed and waited. Then her eyes opened.
