Chapter Four
**As you probably know, I am not Stephanie Meyers, so I do not own the Twilight world, only any OC's and this plot. Don't forget to review my story! :)
Carlisle's POV
When I was first turned into a vampire, I thought that it was a nightmare. I tried anything I could to end my immortal life, but nothing I did worked. I felt bad for dragging my sister, Esme into this mess.
Over time, I got used to what I was, but I was never truly happy. For a short period of time, I lived with the Volturi which was a large group of vampires who were seen as royalty among our kind.
It was there that I became hopeful. They told me about something I had never heard of before. Vampires have soulmates. They are very rare, but very treasured in the vampire world.
Never in a million years did I think that I would actually meet my soulmate until the afternoon that my son, Emmett came storming into the office, his eyes black with the most pained look on his face as he carried an unconscious teenage girl in his arms. She had dark curly brown hair and pale skin that was covered in blood. I could tell that if she opened her eyes she would be truly breathtaking.
It was then that I smelled something wonderful. It even rivaled the scent of blood. It was a sweet scent that overwhelmed my senses, almost like the smell of honeysuckle and a rose.
A few nurses rushed over to Emmett and helped the girl in his arms onto a gurney, but she didn't wake. I rushed over to them. "What happened?" I asked Emmett before I turned towards a nurse and said, "I have it from here."
Then I began to push the gurney down a hallway and into a hospital room.
"This car came out of nowhere," Emmett said once we entered the hospital room. He was clenching his hands into fists. "I should've seen it coming," he said with an angry glint in his eyes.
"Tell me what happened next," I said as I shined a flashlight over the girl's closed eyelids to make sure that she was really unconscious. Her eyes twitched but she didn't open them.
"I pulled her out of the car and rushed over here," Emmett said. His arms were shaking. "I can't live without her."
I had a feeling that when he said that he "rushed over here" he ran over here at vampire speed. I would lecture him later on how it wasn't good to expose our kind to humans, but right now I could tell that he was very upset.
I began to check the girl's pulse as I continued to speak to Emmett. "Its still too early to tell, but I think that she will be okay," I reassured him. "Do you think that she is the one?"
He knew what I was asking, whether or not she was his soulmate.
My usually carefree son shuddered as he closed his eyes. "I know that she is mine," he said.
I frowned as I touched the girl's wrist to check her pulse. Her skin practically burned my fingers which was saying something considering that vampires tend to have a high pain tolerance. When I touched her wrist again, it didn't burn me, but it warmed my fingers and as I stared down at the beautiful girl with rosy cheeks and long hair, I knew that she was the one I had been waiting for, my mate.
Delaney's POV
When I woke up, I was in a hospital room. I sat up in bed, fingering the IV in my arm as I wondered how I ended up here. The last thing that I remembered was Emmett giving me a ride home.
My eyebrows scrunched together as I began to concentrate. I never recalled actually making it home. Then I remembered that we had gotten into a car accident. Now that I paid attention, I could see a cast on my leg and bandages on my arms. I had a throbbing headache and I felt like something was wrapped around my ribcage.
My parents were sitting down in the hospital room, but when they saw that I was awake, they both stood up and rushed over to me. My mom was crying and asking me how I was feeling and my dad had unshed tears in his eyes as he pulled a strand of hair behind my ear.
I reassured them both that I was okay, but they still seemed pretty shaken up. I couldn't blame them. I was wondering about how Emmett was doing and whenever I thought about him, my heart rate increased.
Please, let him be okay.
I didn't know him that long, but already I felt a strong connection to him and his other two brothers.
Suddenly the door opened and Emmett walked in. I was so relieved to see him. It was like I could finally exhale.
My parents weren't too happy to see him. My mom grew quiet and I could see my father's hands tighten into fists as he tried to control his anger. Why were they angry at him?
"Are you okay?" Emmett asked with a pained look on his face as he slowly began to approach me. My mom stepped in front of him, stopping him from getting any closer to me. What was her problem. "Delaney, I am so sorry," Emmett apologized.
"Emmett-" I started to say before my dad interrupted.
"She's fine," my dad said as his face turned red and his body vibrated, "no thanks to you."
"Dad," I chastised. "It wasn't Emmett's fault."
"You could've died or been severely injured," my dad said.
"That is still no excuse to be mad at Emmett," I said, growing angry myself.
"Delaney, its okay," Emmett said. "This is my fault."
"You aren't helping," I said, glaring over at him. Earlier today, it seemed like he wanted to be my friend. He should try to get my parents to like him instead of giving them more reason to hate him.
Emmett smirked when I snapped at him, but I didn't have it in me to feel guilty yet.
The hospital door opened and in walked the sexiest doctor I had ever seen wearing a white lab coat. He was extremely pale, but it didn't look bad on him. He was tall with a lean physique, pale blond hair, and golden eyes.
He looked over at me in awe as if he knew me and admired me. When he smiled, it lit up his whole face and almost made him seem more human and less like a hot alien. He seemed too young to be a doctor.
"Hello, I am Doctor Cullen, but you may call me Carlisle," he introduced himself, only looking at me. Cullen? Wait, was this Emmett's adoptive father? He looked way too young to be a doctor much less a dad!
"Its about time a doctor came in here," my dad muttered, but everybody either didn't hear him or ignored him.
"Ms. Wright, how are you feeling today?" Carlisle asked. It was unnerving how he never looked away from me.
"I have a headache but other than that, I feel fine," I replied.
My mom dug through her purse and handed me two pain relievers. I was about to swallow the dry pills when Carlisle handed me a small cup of water. "Thanks," I told him and swallowed the pills with the water.
"Well, it seems like you have broken your leg and a few ribs. You have cuts and bruises along your arm and a slight concussion," Carlisle said as he went to check my blood pressure.
When he helped me put the blood pressure cuffs, his fingers accidentally touched my skin. It felt like there were sparks where he touched me. Sparks? Really, Delaney! I thought to myself.
"Your blood pressure is normal," Carlisle said. "As for your concussion, your parents should wake you a few times during the night to make sure that you are okay."
Then I was allowed to leave. My parents didn't even look at Emmett as they walked past him. Edward and Jasper were sitting outside in the hallway. When they saw me, they started to get up to give me a hug and my dad gave them a weird look and they stopped in their tracks. Instead, they smiled at me as they took turns squeezing my hand.
There's those damn sparks again.
**I know that it was a short update, but what do you think about Carlisle being Delaney's mate?**
