Charles p.o.v.-
I looked up at the building. It was gloomy. I think the many years serving as a mental institution had taken its toll on the once beautiful townhouse. I don't know why this particular institution pulled me to it, there were many in Seattle, but it did. I was coming here to help. The doctors were having problems with some of the patients, normal, but one of them was…not. They said they had a patient that there was no hope for. They had all but given up on her. And I wasn't going to allow that.
I entered the building and looked around. It was beautiful. The architecture was lovely, and if it had been cared for properly, it would have been a luxury even today. The smells coming down the halls were lovely. Flowers, foods, there were a couple not so lovely smells. And then there was one. It was wonderful. The most beautiful smell I'd experienced in a long time. The Volturri told me once, singing. Someone's blood was singing for me. I want to get to know them. No. Dangerous thoughts. I was here to help, not feed. I didn't drink human blood. It had been a long time since I had. A century, I believe. I only tasted the blood of a human once. I had slipped up after a century of animal blood. I had found someone with irresistible blood. This blood was better. It smelt like freesia, I think.
I had to find Dr. Freeman, though. He was the one that was supposed to show me around, to my assignments. I went to the front desk and asked for Dr. Freeman. The person there, another doctor, was just about to page him when a man shouted my name from behind.
"Dr. Smiles! How wonderful to see you. Was your trip well?" Dr. Freeman asked.
I turned around to greet him and gave him a quick handshake. To long and he would ask why I was so damn cold. "Oh, it was wonderful. This place… The architecture is beautiful. So… what now?"
"I'm going to show you to your quarters, leave you to settle in, and I'll be back just before dinner to show you around. Alright?"
"That'll work out just perfectly, thank you." I replied, glad for the chance to collect myself. I had been traveling for a while. Away from humans and it had been nearly a week since I had hunted. I needed a break from the overwhelming scent of blood.
A.N.: This is only rated T cuz it would be. I feel kids understand much more than people give them credit for. I should know, only just having turned 13 myself. anyway, this is just the first chapter. will be longer. i love reviews. this is hopefully going to be pretty long. i have hopes, because this is the first time i've been able to write a could-have instead of a might-be. so... there u go. ENJOY!
