Chapter 10- New friends and old memories

"Hello I'm Doctor Cullen" the vampire smiled stretching out his hand. Chloe wasn't looking at his hand though she was too busy looking at his face. He was young, blonde, pale and handsomer than any movie star Chloe had ever seen though he was tired-looking with circles under his eyes, probably from thirst. Cassandra realized Chloe's preoccupation and shook the doctor's hand instead.

"Perhaps we should go somewhere a little more private" Doctor Cullen suggested. Cassandra nodded solemnly and Chloe followed like a love sick puppy.

After Chloe had got over the affects of Doctor Cullen's looks he'd asked them to call him Carlisle, but she liked Doctor Cullen better. It was very easy to talk with him, he was likable and always willing to listen and talk. People didn't seem to shrink away from him like they did with most vampires; maybe it was his liquid gold eyes or his trustworthy manner, whichever it was Doctor Carlisle Cullen was definitely a well respected and well liked physician.

"Sorry I don't like gore" Cassandra admitted sliding towards the door

"What? You love gore!" Chloe replied

"On myself and in movies sure but on my friends it's just gross."

"Fine go" Chloe sighed, waving her friend out the door

"Sorry" Cassandra muttered

"Its okay" Chloe replied "It's just cuts and bruises." Cassandra slipped silently out of the room.

"Who did this?" Carlisle asked

"A vampire with a gift for fire" Chloe winced, sliding her right shirt sleeve up to reveal her burnt arm.

"That will be why they are so severe, you're very lucky this one didn't hit you full on" Carlisle prodded the wound on Chloe's arm with a piece of cotton wool.

"I don't feel lucky" Chloe growled pulling her arm away from him.

"Well you are…" He replied absentmindedly, taking her arm back and fiddling with some instruments on his tray.

"How long have you and your friend been vampires?" Carlisle quizzed "If you don't mind me asking"

"No it's okay" Chloe replied "We've been vampires for six years now" Chloe smiled, gazing at the handsome doctor.

"Well I have more than 300 years on you" Carlisle smiled back examining the burn on her arm.

"Wow…" Chloe said amazed "What are those for?" she asked gazing warily at a pair of scalpels

"Not you" Carlisle answered before chuckling at the relieved look on his patients face "Now face me"

Edward gazed at the unhappy young woman sitting beside him. She was trying not to look at him and he smiled at that. Tears streaked her face and she was panting for breath. Her brown eyes were turning a sad orange. Edward felt strange around this girl like somehow he knew her. He was watching her closely trying to figure it out, he reached out to take her hand when a memory slammed into him, closing his eyes he let the images wash over him.

Edward was sitting in a chair, Bella sat on the arm of the chair holding his hand. Carlisle sat on the white sofa, his cut-offs crumpled slightly. In-front of him sat Renesmee, every few seconds she would lean back and touch him on the ankle. Carlisle leaned forward letting the cross around his neck dangle next to her ear and murmured something to her, before leaning back and gently stroking her hair. This happened twice more before Renesmee tapped Carlisle again, he nodded and Renesmee grinned and nodded too.

"Carlisle?" Bella asked

"Sorry" Carlisle replied "hair styling" he smiled sheepishly

"You were saying…" Edward nodded

"Oh yes, no sunlight" Carlisle told them. Bella smirked but nodded as though she hadn't been told this a thousand times before.

"Oh and…" Carlisle added, "No getting upset, I know you are going to visit your mother for the first time Bella but you must remember it's only been two months since you saw her and you'll see her again after that, so no getting upset okay?"

"Why?" Bella questioned confused

"Vampires can't cry but we do tear up. Our tears are slightly more acidic than human tears, not a lot but enough to burn through your contact lenses."

Another memory hit Edward, because that was exactly what had happened…

Bella, Edward and Renesmee had been on their way home when Bella had gotten upset about missing her mother. Her tears had burnt through the contact lenses, Bella had had to go into the bathroom before calming down and putting a fresh pair into her eyes.

Edward even remembered the exact colour of her brown eyes as they burned to red, and if he remembered correctly (which of course he did) they had been a sad watery orange. Exactly the same colour as the girl sitting next to him.
