Chapter 1 Abandoned
Carlisle POV
Hello my name is Carlisle Cullen I was born in 1640 in London England. I am 23 years old, have blond hair and gold eyes and yes I am a doctor. My father was a pastor who believed that witches and vampires were real. I followed in my father's footsteps in becoming a pastor; one night I discovered a real group of vampires hiding in the London sewers. I began the hunt when I got attacked by one of the monsters and thought my life was over. Knowing no other option I went into hiding and for 3 days I hid in a potato cellar and when the burning inside of me was over I was monster. I tried several times to kill myself, but no matter what I did all of my attempts failed and eventually my thirst go so intense that I fed on some passing deer, that was when I realized that I didn't need to feed on humans. Eventually I lost the craving for humans and studied to become a doctor. Now here I am on the continent of North America in a country called the United States. Did I mention the year now is 2015 and I'm still here on earth? Technically my actual age is I'm 375 years old now and did I also forget to mention I'm a vampire we live for all eternity.
Yes I am almost four centuries old grant you my life is great and working as a doctor is great too because I get to help my prey instead of eating them. But I'm alone and that makes me sad; I always thought that when I came to the New World I would find others like me who didn't want to kill humans for their blood, but drink animal blood instead. I was wrong there was no one and I have thought of creating a companion but I don't understand on how to create another vampire. If I did create a vampire would they want to stay with me and live the way I do? So here I am hunting on my own again.
After finishing my meal of drinking 2 deer I was on my way home when I stumbled across a noise. The noise sounded like crying and here I'm thinking to myself "who would be out here in the middle of nowhere"? Curiosity got the best in me as I decide to check out the noise, as I got closer the noise became louder and I caught the scent of human. Ducking behind a tree I used my eyes to see what was making the noise and to my surprise I find an infant child who was crying. Quickly at vampire speed I ran over to the child and to my surprise I found the infant was a human baby who looked no more than about a few weeks old. I looked around me to see if anybody was around and found no one. I was thinking "who would just leave a baby out here in the middle of nowhere with nothing on her but a diaper on. Plus it's the middle of January and snow is starting to fall out here"? Realizing that the child would freeze out here I picked her up and wrapped her close to me in my jacket. In a flash I was making my way back home.
When I arrived back at my house I immediately turn up the heat to get the house nice and warm. Once doing that I ran up to my study where I keep my medical bag and other supplies that are stored incase of an emergency. Going over to my couch I put the baby down and zip around my office, grabbing the stuff that I need. I start to worry, as the child has not cried for a while, I hope I made back in time. A few seconds later, she starts to cry and I take that as a good sign as I check her pulse. Her pulse is weak but at least I was not too late. Next I grab the thermometer to take her temperature. I gently place the thermometer in her ear as it reads 97.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Her temperature is not dangerously low but, still low. I grab my stethoscope listening to her heart and lungs, which are good meaning no problems with her breathing. I continue to examine her finding nothing wrong from being out in the cold. Once done I recheck her temperature happy that to see that her temperature is rising, meaning she is getting warm. I also conclude that she is about 5 weeks old and judging by her size she was born premature maybe by a month.
Now done I'm surprised that she didn't cry while I was examining her thinking that she might be hungry I go and make a bottle of formula for her. I was sure glad I have this baby care package that the hospital gave me when I joined the staff about a month ago. Having the bottle in my hand I start to feed her. While feeding her I start to think about what I'm going to do with her. I could take her to the hospital and they could find her a good home. No too many kids in the system already. I'm thinking why don't I just keep her I could raise her as my own but then the Volturi might find out and they would kill her and me. "Rule number 1: Humans can never know about our existence". About 10 minutes later the child has finished the bottle I looked down to see these big brown eyes looking at me and I coo "was that good" as I burp her. When finished burping her I still have her in my arms as she looks up at me and yawns. She gets herself comfy as she snuggles closer to me. The way she was snuggling into me was so cute that I chuckle watching her. I don't know why but I feel like this pull to her like she is meant to be with me. I say "screw the Volturi she is staying with me and that is final! Now all I have to do is name her".
I start to think of a good name until this one pops in my head Cassie and for the middle name will be Iris last name Cullen. I now look down and my now sleeping daughter in my arms and said "welcome to the family Cassie Iris Cullen". I have truly found my companion now and she is my daughter.
