The Calling – Where ever you will go

EPOV

Everything inside me wanted to turn around and run back to the house, but I knew I couldn't. I needed this as much as Bella did. I was going to Rome to search for a vampire Carlisle had once told me about.

He was a very wise man in the aspects of religion and love. I had never been a faithful person since my transformation into a vampire, but there were a few out there who held a strong belief in a higher power.

The plane landed in Rome and I made my way to baggage claim. AS I grabbed my bag I heard a voice from behind me.

"Hello Edward, I've been expecting you."

I turned to see a vampire who was very average looking with light brown hair that hung in a ponytail and he had amber colored eyes. I had never seen him before in my life and he knew my name. He must have seen the confused expression on my face as he spoke again.

"Carlisle told me to expect you, he called me the morning of his passing. Such a tragedy, he was a good man."

That still didn't tell me anything, and now I was getting angry. How dare this stranger talk about Carlisle like he was close with him, but then again he did say he called him the day Aro destroyed him.

"Oh how rude of me Edward where are my manners? My name is James, I tutored Carlisle many years ago in the aspects of faith and love."

So this was the vampire Carlisle had told me about. He wasn't at all what I was expecting.

"Carlisle told you to be expecting me? He never ceases to amaze me," I said laughing.

"Well I'm sure you thirst is about to do you in, please follow me. My wife Victoria is waiting at my home with a few animals for us. We got a mountain lion especially for you."

"Thank you very much James, that is very kind of you."

"A son of Carlisle's is a son of mine. Shall we?"

We made our way to his car and quickly got to his house. His wife Victoria was waiting quietly at the front door to greet us when we arrived. She was a very pretty woman with cat like eyes and wild red hair.

"Hello Edward, my you do look a lot like Carlisle. It is an pleasure to meet you after all Carlisle has told us!"

"Thank you, Carlisle has spoken of me to you?"

"Yes, he has told us many good things about you. He told us you have a strong will and a great heart. He thought the world of you Edward." She said in a very soft and sympathetic voice.

I still didn't understand Carlisle's faith in me. I guess I never will.

They led me trough the house and showed me my room. I set my bag inside and James took me outside to where a small building was. Inside where a selection of caged animals for feeding.

We ate fast and quickly returned to the house. He led me into his office on the second floor. The inside reminded me a lot of Carlisle's. Books lined the walls and oil paintings were hung everywhere.

"So tell me Edward, what exactly have you come here for? Carlisle was very short on the details."

"Well I'm not exactly sure. I guess I'm really just looking for answers to life, answers about Carlisle once searched for, and to help Bella." I knew he wouldn't know who Bella was, but I knew he would know what I meant.

Ah, Carlisle did mention a girl. Well let me think here, ah yes I know.

"Carlisle mentioned Bella?" I asked; I was so used to everyone knowing I could read minds.

He shot me a surprised and curious look.

"Carlisle said you were gifted, he never told me you could read minds."

"Sorry, I was speaking more out of habit from reading thoughts."

He is a very interesting young man. Carlisle was right; polite, gifted, and perceptive.

"Well I have the perfect thing to help you out. Have you ever read the Bible?"

"When I was a human, but I don't remember anything from it. It was all Old Testament, I was raised catholic."

"Ah, well then I think the New Testament will help you a lot. Especially with your questions about Carlisle's faith in you."

I wasn't sure what he meant, but as he explained it all became very clear. He began to tell me the story of Jesus and his sacrifice. It reminded me of a reversed version of what happened to Carlisle, he sacrificed himself to save many.

It clicked as soon as he told me about a fathers love for his son. It was an unbreakable bond of faith and love, a fathers love held no equal. I understood it all so clearly in that moment.

I couldn't help but smile when thinking about Carlisle in that moment. He was my father and I loved him deeply, and according to James and the bible he loved me deeply as well.

"Well I think that's enough for tonight. After all we have plenty of time to help you with everything else. I highly encourage you to read through this thoroughly."

He handed me an old worn copy of The Holy Bible.

"Even if you don't believe in the characters in the words, it offers very good advice on how to live as a good person. It will help you better yourself."

"Thank you very much James. I will return this to you as soon as I'm finished."

"Keep it dear child, it's yours. Carlisle left it here for you many years ago. I guess he knew you would eventually end up here. Such a wise man."

We said our farewells and he left the room. I walked to the guest room and began reading from the book of Matthew.

It raised a lot of questions in my mind about salvation and living a good life. I knew my answers would come in time, but for now I would just focus on what I had read. I took out my MP3 player and began listening to music.

So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

[Chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

[Chorus]

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

Ok so what do you think? I wanted to bring in James and Victoria but I wasn't sure how. I figured changing their character styles completely would be fun and interesting. So R&R and let me know what you think!!!
