Carlisle
"Hey Carlisle! How are you feeling today?" he turned to see Dr. Simons and a young short blonde man trailing after him with a chart in each hand.
"Hey! I am great!"
"Ah, so you forgot today is intern day?" Dr. Simons remarked in an exaggerated stage whisper
"Oh no! Why did you remind me? I was so happy in my ignorance…"the doctor answered chuckling lightly
"By the way have you seen my intern? I still haven't met him."
Dr. Simons smirked
"Well then you are in for a treat… first your intern isn't a "he" but a "she", second apparently she is quite a courageous new intern, she knocked on the door! Can you believe that? Well anyway moving on, I saw her running up and down the hospital looking for something and no offense, but I think she might actually be hotter than your wife, if that is even possible…."Carlisle smiled but he couldn't help wondering a this last remark from his friend, it was obvious why no human woman could be "hotter", as he put it, than his wife, so was this girl not human? Or maybe she was…no he shook his head he was seeing supernatural things everywhere, it was crazy…Simons probably hadn't seen the girl properly, he was reading way to much into this…
His thoughts were interrupted by a tinkling voice behind him
"Dr. Cullen! Dr. Cullen!"
He turned around and he was shocked, for the first time in his long life he had actually been shocked, the girl wasn't only beautiful, which she was much more than his wife or his " adopted daughters", she was also different, she wasn't human he knew that at first sight, but she wasn't a vampire either, he could hear her heartbeat, it was slower than normal and she didn't even smell of blood or flesh, she smelled more like moss and freshly turned earth… in the fraction of a second it took him to develop these thoughts she had stopped dead in her tracks and she was staring at him like she knew… but she couldn't possibly know…
Two fractions of a second later she had started smiling again and she was now walking to him with two of his patient charts
" Hi Dr. Cullen! I am your intern, sorry I was late but I was looking all over for this chart, then a nurse told me that the patient had been sent to another floor because he wasn't surgical anymore, but I looked at his chart and his …"
"Wait, wait" now he was getting mad, who did she think she was?
"You've been an intern what 20 minutes? And you already expect to have opinions? You…" he was cut off by her
"But sir! Look! His values are really high! This could indicate that he is rejecting his new valve!" she showed him the patient's chart and he frowned, she was right, but he couldn't give in to his intern on the first day! But this could mean a man's life…
"Alright let's go see this Mr. Mark Freeman"
"Yes, sir!"
He started walking and heard her following him closely.
"You still haven't told me your name Dr. …"
He turned his head slightly to see her reaction; she smiled widely and answered "Black, Kathleen Black"
"Is that your real name?" his question hadn't been any more than a whisper and no normal human could have heard it but he saw surprise and anger in her eyes and also strangely… fear what was she scared of? She had definitely heard his question, but she was pretending that she hadn't. Why? She was obviously not human, now he was sure. But maybe she did not know he wasn't human either? And if she wasn't human or vampire… what was she?
She intrigued him and he decide that he would get the answers to his questions, whatever the he thought this they arrived in front of the patient's room.
Half an hour later Carlisle was scrubbing in for an emergency valve replacement on Mr. Freeman when the intern came into the scrub room smiling
" I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions on the surgery Dr.?"
"Why don't you just scrub in and assist me?"
"Really?"
"Sure…"
"Oh! Wow sure thanks!"
He wasn't sure what was wrong with him… asking an intern of her first day to scrub in? That was crazy! But he couldn't help himself she was so beautiful and her smile so infectious…he sighed, this was going to be a long week.
A few hours later he stepped out of the O.R and relaxed, the man was going to be fine and his intern had proved to be better than he expected.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful and he spent it trying to figure out his intern with no luck.
Later that day he was going home at a leisurely pace in his expensive car when he saw the object of his curiosity walking with a curved back on the pavement, for a second he was tempted to drive on but this could be the perfect moment to get his answers.
He stopped his car near the pavement and lowered the tinted windows "hey!" he called "you need a ride?"
She looked over and straightened her back "oh! Dr. Cullen! Hi, no thank you I am alright"
"C'mon where do you live?"
She heisted before answering
"Near pacific mall"
That was the poor part of the not-so-rich town, the doctor frowned he had not been expecting her to be poor, he hadn't really thought of that though.
"Oh! Its right on my way" that was a lie but he was really curious now
"Ehmm" she hesitated again
" You know I don't bite…"
That was obviously the wrong thing to say because she stared at him in open shock for a few seconds and then started laughing so hard she had to keep her hands on the car to keep from falling
"I'm sorry" she managed to say between giggles to her astonished spectator " I just… its kind of you to offer" she said sobering a little "but I don't bite?" she started giggling again then shook her head and stopped laughing, as she got into the car he heard her say "we both know you do bite Doctor…"
