Chapter 42 Chivalry is Dead…, Part III
He had not seen her in quite a few weeks, he dreaded having to look into those eyes, he will always believe her to me the beautiful woman he had ever met. Not having told her the truth, keeping it from her, knowing that one day it might surface. Now would come the worst blow of all. It was someone Esme knew, the woman had been diagnosed with cancer. Carlisle did not mean for her to get this lose to him. He turned Esme, he could feel her sensations, as she began her relations with Marcus, her sensuality came through. So he allowed the other woman to comfort him, in exchange, he felt he could "help" her regain her health and strength. There she was, standing in front of him, as in disbelief, suddenly she spoke, "why?" He spoke, gently to her, "I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you, Esme." She replied, "You can go to hell, do you know what Aro and Caius, did to Bella and Alice? Aro took advantage, of Bella because he could, and Alice was raped by Caius for being disobedient to his whims." Carlisle reached forward to touch her, and she pulled back. In the castle, Bella's loud screeches could be heard, she told Carlisle, "do you hear that Carlisle," she went on, "Bella only lived for Edward's love, and had his child, our granddaughter now, they're both gone." Esme's face was contorted, her eyes were glazed over, her voice filled with rage. Carlisle tried again to take her hands in his, she jerked away. "Is that it Carlisle?" Carlisle needed to tell her, he spoke to her slowly, "Esme there was a woman at the clinic I worked with, Mary Hendricks a nurse, I discovered she was dying of cancer, " he paused for a moment, and looked in her eyes, "what is it Carlisle, is she now one of us?" He nodded his head, yes. Esme walked away from him, he came back to tell her goodbye forever. His last words to her before the siege, "I will love you for the rest of your life and you will hate for the rest of yours." She did not leave the room, instead she turned to her guard and commanded him, " tell Dr. Cullen that he has over stayed his welcome." The guard replied, "yes Madame," Carlisle Cullen (Stregoni Benefici) left Volterra, never to return.
