The Twilight Twenty-five: Round Seven

Twenty-five adage inspired, one hundred word drabbles. What is an adage, you ask? It's a short but memorable saying expressing a general truth. I may not take these phrases at face value; but then again, maybe I will.

"Edward," Carlisle's soothing voice cut through the gauze of nothingness.

"You," I roared. The wall of the mausoleum cracked behind him. "This is your fault!"

"Edward, death is..."

"No! You—convinced me she had to live her natural life. That changing her would damn her."

He stood eerily still, as only one of our kind could.

"I waited so long for her."

"I don't want to live in a world she doesn't exist."

"But she did exist Edward. You had a lifetime with her. Her lifetime. That's how it should be."

"You've had three lifetimes with Esme, is it enough?"

Thanks for reading. Theses non-fluffy ones are harder for me. Thoughts?

Also, since a couple of people have asked; each of these drabbles is supposed to be intact, and stand on their own. So it is not a continuing story.

PS. There is a new chapter of The Love Boat coming, it should be up early this week. :)
