Summary: Rosalie wasn't like the Cullens.

Prompt: none

Word Count: 100


The Cullens were made of love, but Rosalie Hale was made of pity. Carlisle would not have chosen her to join their family had it not been clear that it was the only way she would survive. He'd taken Edward out of paternal affection and Esme because of visceral attraction. There had been no care to bind her to her 'father', just as none had existed for her in mortal life.

It was in that cold place, where love and affection should have resided, that Rosalie drew the strength to carry Emmett miles home. He was made of pity, too.


Review, please!
