Chapter 2: Seeing an old Friend
(Katrina's POV)
After getting the new house up to par the first thing on my to-do list was to talk to my old friend Carlisle Cullen. Carlisle and I had served on the Volturi's guard together. At one point in time we had a brief fling that was before we went our separate ways, him going off to marry his soulmate Esme and me staying behind to work for the Volturi. I haven't seen Carlisle in almost two hundred years, last I heard he had a family and he was a surgeon. I wonder what his reaction will be to seeing me again after all this time.
Mom? Where are you going? Rayna asked me through her mind, sensing that I was about to leave.
I'm going to see an old friend of mine, he lives here in Forks as well. I thought, knowing Serenity would hear me as well.
Do you need us to come with you? This time it was Serenity's voice in my head.
No you girls need to stay here for now, I'll most likely be bringing my friend here. So until I get back I want the two of you to stay here and unpack the rest of our stuff. Serenity and Rayna just nodded their heads at me letting me know they heard and understood me.
Seeing as Carlisle was a doctor I figured I better start at Forks general hospital. Seemed like the best starting option to me considering I don't know where exactly he lives and I didn't want to put my tracker skills to use. I haven't been a tracker in almost a hundred years. As soon as I made it to the hospital I immediately caught a whiff of Carlisle's scent, yep he was definitely here.
"May I help you ma'am?" The lady questioned me as I entered the building, her nametag read 'Gloria'.
"Uh…yes, I'm here to see Dr. Cullen if he has the time." I smiled sweetly at her, though she was giving me a 'bitch' stare. Women have always been throwing themselves at poor Carlisle. Some women were sometimes openly brazen with him and coping a feel against his will. At least that's how it used to be and it seems it still is. It's not his fault he was a sexy man.
"And who should I tell him is here?" she questioned in an icy tone.
"Tell him his old friend Kat is here to see him if he has a minute to spare." I told Gloria, grinning at her with a devilish gleam in my eyes. To add insult to injury I gave her a little wink.
"Will do ma'am." She said as she paged Carlisle. "I'm sorry to bother you sir. But there is a lady here at the front desk…says her name is Kat…yes sir, right away sir."
"Dr. Cullen will see you, his office is right down this hall third door on the left." She told me as she pointed down the hallway behind me.
Following her instructions I found his office quite easily. I knocked twice before entering. And there he stood in all his glory, the one and only Carlisle Cullen, he looked just as I had remembered him. Tall, pale, and handsome as all hell. He as short cropped caramel blonde hair and topaz eyes. He only has topaz eyes because he, like me, is a vegetarian Vampire. Vegetarian Vampires only drink the blood of animals, whilst other vampires, like the Volturi, feed on humans so they have blood red eyes.
"Long time no see, old friend." I greeted him with a smile. However he, on the other hand, was not smiling. I guess he's not too happy to see me. But regardless I need his help to protect my children.
"What are you doing here Katrina?" his voice was musical as always but his tone was harsh.
"I need your help Carlisle, if you'll allow me I'll show you." I told him cutting to the chase.
"Alright get on with it then." He said stepping closer to me so I could touch his face and show him all of my memories. "Impossible…" he said in a breathy sigh once I had finished.
"You know as well as I do that if Aro finds us, and you know he will eventually, there will be hell to pay. I need you help protecting Serenity and Rayna, there all I have Carlisle, and you owe me! If it weren't for me you'd be dead. You have a debt to pay and I'm here to collect." I will do everything in my power to protect my babies.
"How is it even possible for you to have given birth to them?" Carlisle questioned me, a look of pure amusement on his face. Of course Carlisle always did have a knack for wanting to know more about the unknown.
"Honestly, I haven't a clue I had only had sex with Charlie once, but I guess that's all it took. I carried them for nine months just like human babies, except their not fully human. I never told Charlie, and I had always thought it was best if he never knew, but now I have no choice. I have to protect them with my life; the Volturi can never get their hands on my daughters! Wouldn't you do everything in your power to protect your children Carlisle?"
"I'd gladly give up my life for my family." He answered.
"Then you understand where I'm coming from. All I'm asking is that you meet them then decide for yourself whether or not you want to help us." And with that I walked out of the hospital, fairly confident that Carlisle would help us.
(Serenity POV)
"Rain, what are we going to do? What if we take on the Volturi and me loose?" I asked my twin, spilling my doubts and fears to her.
"We'll be fine Ren. I promise, I will do everything in my power to protect you and everyone else from those vile scum-bags!" Rayna said with venom in her voice. When Rayna made a promise that promise was never broken, and neither were mine.
"I promise as well, Rain, I will protect you and everyone else with everything that I have!"
"I hope mom wasn't wrong about involving Charlie in all this."
"Yeah me either. . . But I really do want to meet him, he is our father you know."
"Yeah me too, but only when the time is right." Rayna said plopping down on the couch next to me. "Come on lets go exploring, let's check out the town, I'm dying to be behind the wheel of my baby again!" she added with excitement in her voice, officially changing the subject. I couldn't help but to laugh at her, sometimes she reminded me of the energizer bunny.
"But mom said to stay here." I reminded her.
"Come on Ren!" she whined, "Live a little will ya!"
"Alright, alright, fine. But if we get in trouble your taking the blame." I told her being completely serious.
"That's fair…now let's blow this popsicle stand!" she replied with a giggle.
