MY SECOND ESME AND CARLISLE STORY AND WILL FOLLOW ALONG THE LINES OF MY JALICE STORY "BEGINNING OF FOREVER"
1650-CPOV
Father was hunting again tonight. Mother had warned me to stay indoor when father and his friends came round. He said that he was here to rid the world of the bad people. I had asked many times what he meant by this but he never told me and simply said I wasn't old enough to understand at this age.
Mother said that for a 7 year old, I was exceptionally bright and I had to admit, I loved to mix things together and see what they would create, Just like Fathers friend.
"Carlisle! Dinners ready," Mother called and I stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen where I washed my hands and sat down at the table.
"Will Father not be joining us tonight?" I asked, innocently.
"No, my love. He will not tonight. He is out protecting the town from evil."
"What kind of evil mother?" I questioned, knowing I was pushing my luck asking this.
"Carlisle, don't be such a nosey little boy," she sighed at me and I turned back to my food.

"Father?" I asked walking into our garden and looking around. We had one of the grandest houses in the town and father made sure I was grateful of that. He had become eager to setting me up with the young girls from the village and whist only nine, he spoke of marriage in my later years and he would soon to have found a suitable bride for me.
"Ah, young Carlisle, I trust you are doing well?" The mayor said, walking towards me with a grin on his face. My, my you have grown. Soon you will be able to join your father on his missions."
"Oh I think that's enough mayor." Father chimed in, smiling down on me with wary eyes.
"Nonsense, You cant think that your own son wont join us?" The mayor said in disbelief at us both.
"He's just a boy!" Father groaned.
"He's never to early to learn the basics old friend." He said and I was ordered to return to my chamber.

It was nearing my 15th birthday when Father called me into the study for a meeting.
"Ah Carlisle, take a seat." He announced, pointing to the chair opposite as he began to compose a letter.
"The mayor and I have both decided that is time you are brought to do some good to the community and to be honest, you need to be toughed up a bit if we are ever expected to find you a suitable bride." He mumbled under his breath and I scowled at the floor in annoyance.
He began to pace a little before he sat down in front of me and sighed.
"We need to protect the people of this town, son." He eyes me closely as he spoke and I looked up at him, awaiting his permission to speak.
"From what Father?" I questioned, struggling to keep up with my fathers mixed hints.
"From the demons, witches of darkness and the wolves." I stared at him shocked, knowing father would never lie about something like this. "They walk among us, draining the life from the residents and we must be prepared for them."
"Is this what you have been doing for years father." Father sighed and looked at me, a lost expression on his face.
"Carlisle, I have told you not to ask about work but just this once, I will answer your question with a simple yes. Don't speak of my work again. It is highly confidential and if you hope to carry it on, you will need to lie low." I looked down at the floor nervously, truthfully, a little scared about what was to come.
