Protecting is a Waste

R1R

I stood outside of the office Dr. Carlisle Cullen. He was said to be the best doctor ever of our time and I needed his help. This was a serious matter and my family and I had to move here. I had graduated from my high school in Oklahoma not too long ago. The seniors in Forks High just graduated yesterday. The thing that I needed Dr. Cullen's help with is, I have cancer. My parents work almost Twenty four seven. They worked for a sale's company, my father was head of it and my mother was his assistant. They weren't real happy about the move, but knew they had no choice.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It wasn't long until I hear a deep, but calming voice say, "Come in."

I opened the door and walked into the office. There standing in front of the desk was a very gorgeous man with blond hair and golden brown eyes. His skin was unusually pale, but firm. He was the most beautiful man I had ever laid my eyes on and he was a Vampire.

"How may I help you, young lady?" He asked.

I blushed at being called 'young lady.' To people who didn't know me, they considered me an adult. But I guess, when your a Vampire, you just know. It's not normal for Vampires to work around blood without getting a craving, actually it has never happened before. But this doctor has had years of practice perfecting his blood lust, a thousand years.

"My name is Harmony Dash, I have an appointment with you," I say, keeping my voice polite and authoritized.

"Ah, yes," He smiled a kind smile, but it didn't last long before it vanished, "You have cancer in your right shoulder."

"That is correct," I nodded.

"But you show no signs of any symptoms of it," He spoke confused.

"No, sir," I said.

I knew I could trust him with my secret, him above all others. But why?

He tilted his head to the side, "Do you know why this is?"

He could read that from the way I spoke and acted, "Yes, sir. It's because, like you, I'm not human."

"I don't know what your talking about," The doctor spoke in a serious manor, trying to hide his discomfort.

"But you do, because your a Vampire," I nod, trying to show that I didn't know this before I came here.

"Look, Harmony," Dr. Cullen was cut off by his cell ringing. "Hello."

I didn't listen. I didn't want to intrude and I'd end up hearing the whole conversation if I was not careful. But the call ended quickly because of the quick speed a Vampire can speak at.

"Harmony, I need to leave," He looks away deep in thought, "Would you come with me?"

I was confused, "Why?"

"I will prove to you that I am not a Vampire, besides you are here because of your cancer," Carlisle said.

"Sure," I shrug, not seeing the harm in it.

"Alight, lets go," Carlisle took off his lab coat and put on a brown one. He picked up some file folders. "We need to pick up my son and his girlfriend."

I sat in the back, despite the Docs protests. It just seemed more polite to let his son sit up in the front with him. We waited outside of a house and I let Spirit's voice take over.

This is Chief Swan's house.

I looked away from the house to look at Carlisle, who was watching me curiously. I look back at the house to find a tall guy with reddish hair and a girl with brown hair. They were making there way to the car.

"That's my son, Edward," Carlisle said.

Another Vampire.

"He reads minds," I said, voicing Spirit.

I have your mind protected.

"I'm not saying your right, but how do you know all this?" Carlisle asked.

I looked at him, seriously, "Like I told you before, I'm not human."

"What are you?" He asked.

We stare at each other, seriously for a few seconds, "No idea." I state, then look back at the couple.

Edward eyes lock with mine for a few seconds and then his girlfriend locked between us confused.

Talk to him. He can hear you.

"My mind is being guarded by Spirit," I say out loud.

"Spirit?" Carlisle asked.

Too late though, Edward's already opening the door for the human. She gets into the car and Edward shoots a warning glance at me before shutting the door, walking away as if nothing ever happened.

"My name's Harmony," I told the human, stretching my hand out.

She knows there Vampires. She wants to be one too.

"Bella," She shook my hand, "What's your connection to Carlisle?"

"He's my doctor," I nod as Carlisle starts driving. Him and his son start a conversation that I don't plan on listening too, "It's a good thing he's a Vampire, otherwise-" I was cut off by Carlisle slamming on the breaks. Bella jerked forward, I would have too, if Wind hadn't caught me.

Carlisle and Edward are looking at me like I just announced that I had eaten fire for breakfast.

"Hello," I speak in an irritated tone, "There is a human in the car."

"Vampires," Bella gave a forced laugh, "Are you serious?"

"I'm absolutely serious," I look outside at the houses, "You know it too."

Carlisle starts down the road again.

"Never expected Vampires to slip up like that," I said, "Driving shouldn't be a problem."

Carlisle sighs, but doesn't deny him being a Vampire.

"Is she coming with?" Bella asked.

"I don't know," Carlisle said.

"He's concerned about my knowledge of your Vampire family," I told Bella, "Plus there's this," I removed my sleeve to revel my shoulder that's all bruised up. No trace of normal skin.

Carlisle and Edward's head snap back, but this time, the car stays going as if Carlisle wasn't looking in the opposite direction. "You didn't bother to show me this earlier?" Carlisle asked.

"No, sir," I state.

I pulled my sleeve back down, returning to looking outside.

"The others are going to meet us at the house?" Edward asked.

"Yes," Carlisle said.

Others, as in his Coven. They only drink from animals. They respect human life.

"I'd very much like to meet your family," I say in a polite voice, "Your the first Vampire I've met."

Neither Edward, nor Carlisle said anything.

They are starting to think it's becoming clear that they're not going to be able to change your mind. Maybe we should let Edward into your mind. Let him trust you.

I like that idea. I had no problem with him in my mind in the first place. I felt Spirit release itself from my mind as a guard. I looked at Bella, her eyes were on her boyfriend.

Their soul mates.

My heart lifted and I would have smiled. I loved soul mates. I grew up with a pack of wolf Shape-shifters on the Apaka Reservation in Oklahoma. I knew all about soul mates and Imprinting. I loved seeing it. Nothing more magical then Love, not even Life. I watched Bella's concern as she looked at me.

"Do you think you'll be able to cure her cancer, Carlisle?" Bella asked.

"I don't know, Bella," Carlisle said, "I will do everything I can to help her."

I looked outside, my mind wondering if I wanted to be dead.

Ask about becoming a Vampire.

I shook my head. Spirit was showing me a Newborn in my head and I didn't want to burden the Cullens with that. They already have to deal with Bella.

They will change her.

Then they do not need an extra. I watched as Edward looked at Carlisle. What's he thinking?

If Carlisle gets close enough to you, then he will change you, if he cannot save you.

At that, I made a quick second desion, I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened my door. I jumped and was caught by Wind as it lightly placed me on my feet behind the car as it came to a quick stop. I could just walk away, but they'd catch up.

The three got out of the car.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked, looking at Edward.

"It seems you are not human after all," Carlisle said, "A human would not come out of a fast moving vehicle the way you did."

"Why did you jump," Edward asked, not seeming to put my thoughts together.

I shrug, "I'm being too much of a bother as it is," I looked away, "If Carlisle can't fix me... I'll become more of a burden when I'm a Newborn then I already am. That is, if you guys decide to change me."

"Get back in the car," Edward sighed.

"No," I held my ground.

"Please," Carlisle said, and then he went on, though, he didn't need to. The please, was enough for me to do anything he wanted me too, "You have already been placed in my hands. I have to try and help you. If you don't want to be changed when the time comes, I won't force you."

It's not that I wouldn't want to be changed. There not getting that. But without complaining or anything, I got back in the car.

"You and Bella," Edward shook his head.

"Be nice," Bella said, "I like her. All she has been, is nice."

She's a magnite to Supernatural.

That was plainly obvious.

"We should just go," Edward said, "Tell the others to meet us there."

"Your right, Edward," Carlisle said.

Edward took out his phone. I turned my attention away from him and looked at Bella.

"I'm glad I'm nice enough for you," I was. If I was anything else, I'd be upset.

"Me too," Bella nodded, "I don't get something, though. As nice as you are, I have not seen you smile, once."

I just shrug, "And you won't."

I didn't say anything more on the matter. It was hard enough to explain as it is.

"Actually I haven't seen you change your facial expression, at all," Bella said.

"Sorry, but I just don't change it," I looked out at the already fallen sun. I had come to the doctors office way to late. Time difference got to me, though.

"That's okay, I'm just curious as to why," Bella said.

"So am I," I stated.
