CARLISLE.

This was bad. And how on earth could I keep this from Edward? Was it even possible to hide this upcoming future from Alice? Could I stand to keep my dearly in fret Raven fastened to her unceasing worry for my wellbeing any longer? It became hard enough from the moment I knew that I had to keep a secret from her. Now, I was intentionally subduing to a habit.

Raven, forgive me, I pleaded.

Carlisle,

It has been quite some time since our last face-to-face encounter. You must visit us soon. Surely you may bring along your family, and perhaps a friend? Years, old companion, centuries it has been and yet you have still the matter to find a beloved.

Still, your previous letter muses me, Carlisle. For one, you refused to name any of my subjects or even myself. I'd have to say that if I didn't like you… well… that matter is otherwise. Please, do not take any offence, old friend.

However, to gather a private meeting on our hands without the accompaniment of my fellow Guard could prove quite difficult. But of the years I've known you, truly you are an impeccable being with your proper mannerisms and good taste. As much as I'd love to have you for a drink, it would be risky to leave my humble abode without gaining some form of tyrannous treason from my Guard.

Suspicion is a funny thing, Carlisle. But you have been quite the secret box to me.

I'll decide in the near future of your request. Do comply to of what I ask, friend.

T'was a pleasure to speak with you again, Carlisle. Send my regards to the coven,

The anonymous friend from Italy.
