I know it's short, but I just don't know where I want to take this story. I still hope you enjoy this. Please review.

To be loved

We moved to Wisconsin, because we didn't want people to notice Edward's change. From that moment, Edward would pass as Carlisle's brother and I would be Edward's wife. Three years passed without much trouble. Edward and I were running around the mountains, enjoying our time together. We just had finished hunting when Edward suddenly stopped and turned his head. "Oh no." And off he was, without even saying anything.

I followed him, but like usual I was too slow and he got sooner to his destination than me. I immediately saw what he must have heard. A woman was about to jump off a cliff. Edward began running towards her, but even he was too slow, as the woman had already jumped. We jumped after her and landed perfectly down bellow. The woman didn't look good, a lot of blood was involved. As in instinct Edward and I stopped breathing.

With much concentration I put down my shield, so we could discuss what we should do. "Ithinksheisstillalive,Icanhearherheartbeat." Edward nodded and came a bit closer to the woman. He shook her lightly, but nothing happened. "Weshouldtakehertoahospital.Theycanmaybestillsaveher." Edward kneeled down and took the woman as softly as he could in his arm. He looked at me. "Justgo,you'requickerthenme." He smiled and off he was. I know he loved running at full speed, but he almost never did, so Carlisle and I could keep up with him. I stopped concentrating and my shield went back up.

When I arrived home, Edward was already there, he was standing in our room, looking at the window.

"So what happened?"

But then I heard a scream and I realised what was happening. I wanted to go upstairs, but Edward stopped me.

"When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors said that she was dead, but I could still hear her heart beat. None of them wanted to believe me and they brought her directly to the morgue. I went to Carlisle to tell him what happened. He immediately went to the morgue with me and we found her there, still alive. Carlisle recognized her, her name is Esme Anne Platt."

"Wait I remember her. Carlisle met her ten years ago, he told me about her. What is she doing here in this town?"

"I don't know. But Carlisle wanted to change her, so I gave him my consent and said that you wouldn't mind either, right?"

"Off course not."

Right then Carlisle came down. He looked beaten. I went over to him and took him in a hug.

"You did the right thing."

"I had to save her. The thought that she would die, made me sick."

Three days later, Edward, Carlisle and I were standing in the room Esme was lying in. She could wake up any second now. Edward shifted slightly, given us a sign that she would soon wake up. And he was right, because the next moment she opened her eyes. She kept staring at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, but impatient as I was, I had to make a sound, so she turned towards us. Her eyes were as dark as Edward's had been and she looked stunning. She quickly sat up and looked us over one by one, ending with Carlisle.

"I remember you. You were the doctor that treated me when my leg was broken."

She smiled. Carlisle also smiled.

"Yes I am."

"You still look the same."

"Yes I do."

Esme looked towards Edward and me.

"I don't think we have met each other yet."

Edward came forward.

"Excuse me, where are my manners. My name is Edward Cullen and this is Isabella Cullen. It's a pleasure meeting you."

You could see she was charmed by Edward's manners. I have never met a woman who wasn't dazzled by Edward's charms.

"The pleasure is all mine." Edward must have read her mind, because the next second he stood next to her, helping her off the bed. He looked at Carlisle, smiled and shook his head. I hated it when they were talking to each other trough Edward's ability. "Thank you." When Esme was up, she noticed herself in the mirror. She gasped. "Oh god, is that me?"

Edward nodded towards Carlisle and took my hand.

"I think we should leave Carlisle explaining everything."

-avs-

Esme took it much better then Edward had cause when she came down, she was smiling and holding Carlisle's hand. Edward noticed something.

"I think we should go for a hunt, because Ms. Platt is starving."

"Oh please, don't call me Ms. Platt, that makes me sound old. Just call me Esme." Edward and I smiled. We were going to like this woman. "But you are right, I'm feeling pretty thirsty."

"Alright then." Carlisle held his arm out. "Shall we?"

-avs-

Teaching someone to hunt was much easier with Edward as companion. He could run as fast as a newborn and could hear if a human was coming to close. It wasn't long before we were all content and returned home. We sat down in the living room. I finally dared to ask her the question that had been hunting me all day.

"So why did you jump?"

Both Edward and Carlisle looked at me with annoyance. But Esme just smiled at me.

"You are a curious one, aren't you?" Now it was my time to smile. "When I was younger I wanted to move West to become a school teacher, but my parents pressured me to remain in town and marry. So I married Charles Evenson, hoping to please my parents. I tried to be happy, I really did, but my husband…"

Edward growled, hearing her thoughts. Esme looked confused at him. "I'm sorry, but just the thought of your husband makes me…" Now Esme looked even more confused. "I can read minds."

"Oh. That's interesting." And sometimes frustrating, was my thought. Esme continued her story. "Well, much to my relief, he was drafted during World War I. I enjoyed my time while Charles was away, it was the happiest period of my life. But Charles returned in 1920. I couldn't take it anymore so I ran away. A few days later I discovered I was pregnant. My boy was born a couple of days ago, but a week ago he…" She cleared her throat. "He died of a lung infection. I felt that I had no longer any reason to live, so I jumped off the cliff. The next thing I knew I woke up in this house."
