I stared in awe. Was she for real? I knew I was right, but in case she was kidding I decided to doubt.

I chuckled. "An angel?"

"Yes." Stunning Aquamarine stared into unworthy gold.

She is probably an angel. She did fly. I starred at the marvelous creature before me. Pearl white feathers swayed in the wind.

"Here to take me to hell?"

"Nah, I'll save that for later. Besides I don't believe I have the authority anymore."

I was shocked. Was she in trouble? How can such a perfect creature be punished?

"Anymore?" I echoed.

"No, they where gonna clip my wings but I got away on time."

Curiosity flickered in my once expressionles face. "Why?" I asked without thinking.

She smiled. "Because," there was a long pause, "I fell in love with a demon."

I felt my eyes widen. A demon? How can such a perfect person fall in love with something so evil? "Are you still with him?"
My eyes met her sad eyes. "No…he was… assassinated…"

"I'm so sorry." I said too quickly, feeling guilty for making her bring it up in the first place.

She smiled. Even her teeth were perfect. "Don't be sorry." There was a moment of silence. "So what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Well," she smiled a devilish grin, "I know your not human, you are way too cold to even be alive."

I chuckled. "No, I guess I'm not alive."

"So, you're an angel?"

I laughed. "I wish."

She looked confused, her thin black brows furrowed in confusion. "Then, what are you?" She asked slightly extending the e in her then.

"I'm a vampire, of course."

"A vampire?"

"Yes."

"So, that means you…suck blood." She slowed down at the end of her sentence.

"Yes, although I am what you'd call a vegetarian vampire. I refuse to consume human blood."

"The, what do you eat?"

"Animal, blood."

"Oh…that's very…creative."

"I apologize. If I scared you then I could just leave now."

"No, you don't scare me." She said quickly. "Besides, I spent half a century with a demon, I don't get very easily scared anymore."

I smiled. I still couldn't help but feel bad for making her bring her demon up. It didn't seem to make her too happy. Perhaps I should make it up to her.

"Uh…" why was I so nervous? I had no reason to be nervous. "Would you like to have dinner? Well if you don't mind me not eating with you."

She giggled. She could tell that I was nervous. "Ok, I have nothing better to do anyway."

I had no idea why, but I had gone this whole conversation without even thinking of Esme. I knew that that was impossible, but yet it was happening. I didn't even feel too guilty for the bubbly feeling that I could feel forming in my stomach. But why? I should have felt guilty. I should have let her leave so I could go back to that cliff and make sure that I land in the fire that time. But I didn't, I actually wanted her to stay as long as possible. I felt happy for the first time in months. "Ok, would you like to go now?" I asked politely.

"Alright, but don't you think I should know your name before I go to your house?"

"Oh, of course, how rude of me. My name I Carlisle."

"Carlisle." She echoed in a fake English accent.

I smiled. "Yes, and my I have the honor of knowing your name?" my smile disappeared when I noticed that it sounded like I was flirting, even though it would be an honnor for me to know her name because I don't even deserve to be standong here talking to her. I had been with Esme for so long I almost forgot what flirting was.

"Well, I suppose," I had to repress my laugh at her bad fake accent, "my name is Alexis."

"What a beautiful name." I complimented without thinking. I knew my face would be burning red if it was possible, but luckily for me, it wasn't.

"Thank you." She said abandoning the mocking of my accent.

I escorted her to my house patently, not rushing her seemingly slow pace. On the contrary, I was enjoying talking to her so much; I wanted her to slow down. I was amazed by how easily I was able to talk to her. It was amazing. But no matter what, I still couldn't feel unworthy to even stand next to her, let alone converse with her.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed when we reached my house, that meant our time together was cut in half. But why did I her to stay so bad? I could barely talk to the people that I had known for decades. Something wasn't right, but I didn't care. All I knew was that I was standing next to the most beautiful thing of the face of the planet.

When we walked into the house I could tell that Edward and Jasper were shocked, although they tried to hide it.

I could tell that everyone was trying there hardest to make her happy. Alice tried to make her feel as welcome as possible. Rosalie and Edward kept their best smile on at all times. Jasper made sure to calm down Edward and Emmett when he felt a fight approaching. And Emmett made sure to give her his famous "bear hug" the second he was introduced to her, and right before she left. They must have done a great job because when Alice invited her to come the next day, she didn't hesitate to say yes.

As I made my way to my room, I couldn't help but over hear Jasper and Edward talk.

"I don't understand." Edward complained.

"She has a manipulative power." Jasper explained. "She…" he tried to find the appropriate words. " is able to make Carlisle…not forget, but move on from Esme. She's not trying to, its an unwilled power, like your mind reading. She's an angel, her presents makes people happy and makes them forget everything bad, especially when the attracked to who they are with, but I believe she could call it off if she wanted to, but it would probably take concentration."

"So why is Carlisle still happy even though she is gone?"

I think it's because her power is still lingering. I mean they did seem to get along very well, so maybe his happiness will stick around as long as he sees her often."
"Well then that is wonderful."

That is why I was so happy with her around. Perhaps they were right. That was a good thing.

Four months later

Since that day I had been taking as many hours off as possible. The good thing is that she didn't sleep much since she was an angel, so I was able to talk to her a lot at night. I enjoyed every second I spent with her. I am pretty sure that she enjoyed spending time with me at least a little because she never denied time with me. Although I loved being with her, I still couldn't help but feel a little guilty. I shouldn't have because that's what Esme would have wanted. For me to move on and maybe even find another…I don't know would she?

Alexis's Point of view

Carlisle told me to just go ahead and open the door, but I decided to knock anyway. When Alice opened the door, she greeted me with a big hug and kiss to the cheek. She happily led me into the house.

"Carlisle will be home in about a half an hour." Alice reported. "He says sorry for being late."

"Oh, that's alright." I assured her, "the more time I get to spend with you the merrier."

Alice's eyes lit up at my last words. "Ok!" she chimed happily. "What do you want to do?"

I thought about it and realized that I had never seen any pictures of them. They've been alive for like ever, they had to have some photos...unless they didn't show up in pictures. "We can look through some photos if you want to."

"Ok." Alice danced off joyfully and came back with a thick photo album. She sat down on the fluffy couch next to me. I notice Carlisle's white coat sitting on the arm of the couch. Doesn't he need that for work?

I was amazed at how thick it was. Carlisle must have loved taking pictures. "Wow, that is huge."
"Oh I know. Esme used to love taking pictures of us. We could never get her to put the camera down…" Her eyes widened as if she said something that she shouldn't have.

"Who's…?"

"Anyway," Alice interrupted. "Lets look at the pictures."

"Ok." I said in defeat as she opened the photo album.

She kept on skipping pages no matter how many times I told her not to, so I took away the photo album and flipped the pages myself. Edward and Rosalie always seemed angry when standing next to each other. Alice always looked at her happiest when standing next to Jasper. I could tell that Jasper was camera shy because I only saw him smile when Alice was clinging to his waist, probably begging him to smile. Rosalie didn't seem to be paying attention in too many of her pictures; she does always seem to be in her own world. Edward didn't have that big smile in any of his pictures until Bella came into them towards he end. The only one who didn't need someone by him to have a big happy smile on his face was Emmett, but he did always seem to have an extra big smile when Rosalie was near him. Carlisle…he always seemed to be with a woman, I don't know why. But he seemed so incredibly happy. I decided not to jump to conclusions. I saw a couple pictures of him kissing her on the cheek, nose, and hand. All my suspicions were confirmed when I saw him on his knee putting a ring on her left ring finger. I couldn't believe it, was he leading me on. Some of the pictures of her were dated from late last year.

"Who is she?" I whispered while tracing my fingertips along Carlisle's face and along the floor. I was amazed when I realized that I was on the verge of tears.

"Alexis," Alice said softly, "it's not what you think. Carlisle would never do that to you."

"Then who is she?" I said raising my voice.

"Calm down Alexis." She paused, probably thinking on whether she should tell me or not. She sighed, "I guess there is no way to go around this. Besides I wouldn't want to make Carlisle have to tell you, I don't think he would be able to handle it."

"Ok well…

***

I was shocked. They had been together for centuries. He must have loved her so much. No wonder Carlisle seems so out of it sometimes.

But what about me? I was practically forcing him to get over it, not that I meant to. But still, this isn't fair for him! I should let him get over her naturally. It wasn't my place to be forcing him to get over it. I had to call my power off. I looked around wondering why I hadn't heard Alice this whole time. She had left, probably to give me sometime to contemplate the situation at hand.

Sudenlly i hear someone run into the room. It was Edward and Jasper.

"No!" Edward yelled, making me almost jump off the couch

"What?" I asked half as loud

"You can't do that!" Jasper panicked.

Oh yeah, Edward could read thoughts. I sighed. "I'm sorry Edward, I have to."

"No you don't!' Edward yelled. "You don't understand! He's my father..." it sounded like he was trying to hold back sobs.

"No Edward, it's not fair to him. He wouldn't even be with me if it wasn't for my power! Its not right.

I heard the front door close and I knew what I had to do.

"Hello Alexis." Carlisle greeted cheerfully. He must have been way out of on his walk home if he didn't hear us, I'm pretty sure i knew what he was thinking about.

I took one last long look at his perfect face, knowing that this would probably be the last time I see it. His right eyebrow lifted in curiosity.

"I am so sorry Carlisle." I said choking back tears.
