Prologue
Carlise POV
Another day at the hospital another college telling me I should go home. I had been working the ER for 20 straight hours I suppose someone was bound to notice. Course having Edward their made things a little more tolerable. He wouldn't be worried though. We didn't need to eat or sleep, but I had to keep up appearances. Humans needed to eat to sleep to be with their families. I walked out of the Emergency room doors I climbed in to my car and drove home. As I expected Edward was their sitting at him Piano playing the most beautiful pieces.
"Hello Carlise" He said in a pleasant tone.
"Edward" I gave him a nod and a quick smile.
"Would you like to go hunting?" He asked.
"Perhaps later, would you like to do something else?" I asked him.
"What did you have in mind?"
"A game of chess?" I asked.
This widened his eyes normally we didn't play games like that because he could read my mind, but I was desperate for a distraction. I hated the reminder that my life wasn't complete, that I was missing love. Since I had changed Edward the time was more manageable and the ache of loneliness had dulled some.
"Have you thought about changing someone else?" Edward asked me. My thoughts must be making him miserable for him to ask me something like that.
"Of course I have, but you know I would never force this life on someone who had another choice, besides, love can't be forced." I told him
"I know, but you have been so misrable" he looked at me with pity.
"And your not?" I inquired.
"No, I wouldn't have chosen this life Carlise, but I will make due with what I have been delt."
"I'm sorry" I told him, sincerity rang in those two words.
"Please don't be Carlise. I am glad I can bring you companionship" he said with a crooked smile.
He was such a sweet boy. Well I guess man now after so many years I hardly kept track now. We sat and played chess for hours until I could deny my thirst no more and we set off to hunt.
