Edward's Discovery.
EPOV
"Carlisle, are you ready to go hunting?" I called to my adopted father.
"Sure, Edward, I'm coming." He called back.
He ran down the stairs and I looked at him carefully. He looked exhausted, even
for a vampire.
"Carlisle, you should really find a girl." I said, for about the millionth time.
"I know…" He said.
I rolled my eyes and we took off through the door.
I quickly took down three elk and waited for Carlisle, who was slower, to finish.
"Got it!" He muttered.
"Gosh Carlisle, you don't need to narrate everything to me." I murmured more to
myself then him.
But, it was a habit of his, he always seemed to feel the need t tell me everything
he was feeling.
"You say something son?" He called after he had drained the elk.
"No." I sighed.
He shrugged and turned to his next victim.
After we were done we went home so Carlisle could get ready for his next shift
and I could start composing my next piano piece.
"Which one? White jacket or green scrubs?" Carlisle asked himself.
"White! Green is tacky." I said.
Gosh, I sound like a girl. I thought.
"What?" Carlisle asked.
"You asked white jacket or green scrubs, I voted white." I said puzzled, another
habit of his, never remembering that he asked me things!
Strange for a vampire with perfect memory…
"Edward, I didn't say anything!" Carlisle called.
"Yes you did!" I called back.
"He always does this, whats wrong with him?" Carlisle wondered aloud.
"I can hear you!" I yelled.
"I didn't say anything!" He yelled back.
"I give up." I sighed.
Carlisle came downstairs slowly, a look of discovery on his face.
"I know whats going on!" He said though I didn't notice his mouth moving.
"Whats going on?" I asked dryly.
"You can read my mind!" He said, again his mouth not moving.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You. Can. Read. My. Mind Edward!! I'm not speaking!.....I'm thinking all this!"
Carlisle 'thought'
"I…I can….hmm." I murmured.
What? He asked, his mouth not moving so I assumed he was think-talking to me.
"Well, is it just you? Or anyone?" I answered.
"I don't know….lets go!" he said, aloud, completely excited.
"Where?"
"Hospital! Let's test it!"
I shrugged and took off after him as we raced to the hospital. When we got there
We went to the heart floor, fresh blood was harder for me to resist then Carlisle.
As we were walking up to a nurse I smelt fresh blood and felt my throat catch
flame.
"Edward no! Remember who you are!" He hissed to me.
I nodded and stopped breathing, though, as I turned to the girl who was bleeding I
could 'hear' her.
Who is that? He's really handsome! Wait, why is he looking at me like that?
"I can hear her." I muttered to Carlisle.
He nodded and faced the nurse.
"Hello Judy." He said smoothly.
"Hi Doc." He said.
Hello doctor hottie! Want to give me a physical? I can dress down here or…well
you make house calls don't you? She thought.
I gagged and tried to tune her out. I focused to Carlisle's thoughts and managed to
tune 'Judy' out.
Maybe she's the one? I don't know, shes to upfront for me…
"Yeah, NOT your type." I murmured.
"Okay," He hissed quietly, or maybe he thought it I couldn't see his mouth…
anyway, aloud he said, "Judy I'm taking off today, okay?"
"Sure doc,"
I didn't even want to hear her thoughts now.
As we started running home Carlisle was like a child on Christmas.
This is so cool! You can read minds! I wonder why….were you very in tune and
sensitive to other people as human? He thought.
"I…don't remember." I said slowly.
Hmmm, interesting I wonder if other vampires can read minds…or bring gifts
they had as humans to vampire…He thought.
"I don't know." I murmured.
As we walked in the door the phone rang.
"Perfect timing." I hissed, picking it up.
"Hello? Doc?" A female voice was asking.
"One second." I said handing the phone to Carlisle.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Doc, woman here, jumped off a cliff, you'd better get I here." She said.
"Kay be right there, name and floor?" Carlisle asked completely professional
again.
"Esme, two." She said.
"Kay." As he hung up he turned to me, "Edward, when I get back we'll do some
tests, if it's okay with you, and see things like how far away you can hear, thing like
that." He said and he was gone.
"Sure." I said, knowing he could still hear me.
I didn't really have a choise, when it came to Carlisle and tests, there was no
stopping him….
A few minutes later the phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Edward, we'll have to postpone the tests-"
Wow, what could have happened to stop him?
"This woman, Esme, she was dying, I'm bringing her back to change
her…Edward?"
"Mm?" I asked.
"I think shes the one." I didn't have to read his thoughts now to know their
direction.
"Great Carlisle, hurry up and bring her home." I said hanging up.
Esme, a nice name…I guess she'd be like my mom? That might take some getting
used to but if Carlisle was happy, I'd be happy. I would never fall in love though, I knew
it. I just wasn't interested in anyone….
