Quick author's note:
This is the first fanfiction I've ever published online, so reviews are much appreciated, as well as constructive criticism! I know the chapters are a bit short at the moment, but I've just got back from DofE! And thank you so, so much for reading, I'm honoured that at the time of writing, 9 people have had a look, so thanks
Carlisle
"What is it? What's happened?" Esme was on our kids in a flash, picking up on their worried faces. Edward quickly relayed everything about this mysterious new girl to us, which made me recall something else that had happened today.
"Half of the hospital's blood bags vanished in the space of 5 minutes today. One minute I was in there and it was packed, then suddenly they were gone!" I added.
"What do you think she is, Carlisle?" Alice whispered.
"Alice, I don't think it's fair to assume she's the culprit at the moment!" Esme scolded. The cogs were turning rapidly in my head, recalling memories from hundreds of years ago.
"When I stayed with the Volturi, they told me about the existence of another species of vampire. They didn't know much as fact, just that they were very different to us, and that they looked down on us." That last part drew strong reactions from the room.
"Why on earth would they do that?!" Rosalie exclaimed, scowling.
"Well, I'd imagine it's partially because we sparkle in the sunlight," I started, but Emmett's scoffing put me off.
"So, we sparkle, and?"
"And, Emmett, we're meant to be fierce predators! Sparkling's a bit… weird. Not exactly intimidating, is it?" He grunted in approval, and I carried on. "Also, I've heard they're a lot faster and stronger than s with better senses, and their hearts are still beating."
"What? Faster than us?!"
I nodded. "You should try and befriend this girl, find out more about her."
