Carlisle's POV
I ran fast as I could without people being suspicious back to Esme. Her heart was faint; I picked her gently and held her close to myself. I jumped out of the window swiftly, checked if there were no witnesses and ran vampire speed home. As I got closer my thoughts must have been mess due to the fact I could not stop thinking if I was going to make it or not and hoped that Esme kept fighting and would hold on long enough for me to save her. I rushed into the house as Edward looked at me confused; I quickly decided to take Esme to the guest room.
Edward's POV
Carlisle's thoughts were confusing, "who's Esme?" I asked since she was mentioned in all of his thoughts. As soon as I mentioned the name heaps of Carlisle's thoughts came flooded back, so she is the girl that Carlisle kept thinking about. Whenever he thought of her he always covered up her name, I could tell he was embarrassed whenever I mentioned her to find out more information his reply was always " It doesn't matter just a person in the past", he said in a sad voice. It was like a broken memory the pain it caused him to talk or think about her. Carlisle rushed upstairs rushed upstairs to the guest room. I followed close behind to see what was going on, Carlisle placed Esme down gently on the bed.
Esme's body was badly mangled. Her clothes were drenched in blood which made my throat burned uncomfortably but I was in control. I walked over to the cupboard and took out some spare clothes even though they were men's it was better than nothing, I passed Carlisle the clothes and he looked at me before realising it would be better than her waking up with dried blood all over her. Usually Carlisle would of thought of a thankyou but he was distracted by the dying woman that he cared so much about that laid before him. "She's thinking about the time you both met and what a great doctor you are", I told him, and Carlisle smiled at that.
Carlisle's POV
After I dressed Esme in clean clothes I decided I had to bite her now or she would die. It was now or never I leaned over Esme and moved closer to her neck. "I'm sorry Esme", I whispered sadly as I bit into her neck. Esme screamed out in pain as a pool of blood filled my mouth. I almost swallowed the irresistible liquid when I remembered who I was, what I worked for and who the woman was that lay in front of me who I had feelings for that I couldn't explain. I ran to the sink, spat the blood out and washed it down. Iran back to Esme to see that see was thrashing from the venom that was now spreading through her system. How I wished that I could ease the pain she suffered, I walked over to Esme, knelt beside her and held her hand. Edward had gone downstairs to give us some privacy.
Esme's POV
My neck was burning and it had spread through my whole body. It was torture I was thrashing around uncontrollably and I could now feel the pain which was the result of when I jumped off the cliff. What's happening to me? What is this burning, am I dead? I must be dead. That's when I felt two strong hands on my arms pining me down that's when I heard his soft voice. "Esme, please calm down, sorry about the pain it will end soon but please try to calm down for now it will help". I've been waiting for ages to hear his voice again. But that can't be him, how is he here? Is he dead too? Wait what does he mean that the pain is almost over? I thought. Also why is he apologizing he wasn't the one who caused the burning or was he?
Edward's POV
It has now been three days that Esme has been burning and Carlisle had not left her side the whole time. I heard Esme's heart beat faster from upstairs and I knew that it was almost finished. I decided to read a book until it is finished and that I would stay close in case Carlisle needed me. Esme's heart suddenly stopped and I knew that it was over.
Esme's POV
My heart sped up and I was scared of what might happen. Then my heart stopped...
