Come to Me

based on

"Come to Me" from Les Miserables

Background Information: Carlisle is tending to the dying people in a hospital in 1918, and then helps a certain Elizabeth Masen with a last wish.

All Carlisle could hear were moans. People were moaning and groaning all around him, sweating as they shivered uncontrollably. Carlisle felt such pity for the poor humans. They were all so close to death, and he couldn't do anything to help. Modern medicine couldn't do anything to help. Sighing, Carlisle made his way over to a young woman and her son, the boy with the strange bronze-colored hair. Both Elizabeth and her son, Edward, were close to death. Carlisle needed to settle a few things, like if they had any living relatives that needed to know of their passing. Before Carlisle could come even close to Elizabeth, she began to sing.

Lost in the haze of the fever, Elizabeth found herself back in time. She was mingling with a few other young mothers, while their children played. Edward was a young boy again, his green eyes shining as he played with the other children. Elizabeth was smiling at the sight of her little boy so jubilant. But as Elizabeth glanced up at the sky, she saw how dark it had become...and how cold. Still smiling, and still lost in a daze, Elizabeth sang out to Edward.


"Edward, it's turned so cold. Edward, it's past your bedtime."

Carlisle walked over to Elizabeth, and sat beside her. She was so delirious she didn't even notice. Carlisle glanced over at Edward. He was lying so still, it seemed he was dead, but thankfully he wasn't. Yet. Completely unaware to her surroundings, Elizabeth continued to sing.


"You've played the day away and soon it will be night." Elizabeth sat upright and held her hand out to an invisible Edward.


"Come to me, Edward, the light is fading. Don't you see the evening star appearing?" Elizabeth motioned to the sky, where she saw a brightly glowing star, but where Carlisle saw nothing.


"Come to me, and rest against my shoulder. How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder."

Carlisle wanted to do something to help the poor, delirious woman, but he really couldn't. She said she was cold, despite the sweat rolling down her face, so Carlisle reached over to grab a blanket. Before Carlisle could drape the blanket over Elizabeth, she outstretched her arms and began to sing again.

"Hurry near, another day is dying." Poor woman, Carlisle thought. She was so close to death and yet she was singing about the day dying.


"Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?" Elizabeth shuddered suddenly, her arms still reaching out to her young Edward.


"There's a darkness which comes without a warning. But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning!"

Elizabeth smiled and began to sing an odd tune, but then coughed so hard that she had to lie down again. As Elizabeth coughed violently, Carlisle laid the blanket over her and began to sing as well, as if that could soothe her.


"Elizabeth, our time is running out. But Elizabeth, I swear this on my life..."

Carlisle was just about to say that he would do everything he could to keep Elizabeth and her son alive, but Elizabeth cut him off. She sat upright again, throwing the blanket off of her, and grabbed Carlisle with one hand while pointing off in the distance with the other. Her damp face was alight with joy.


"Look, Doctor, where all the children play!" Carlisle picked the blanket off the floor, and pushed Elizabeth down so that she was lying down once more. He laid the blanket over her, as she shivered uncontrollably.


"Be at peace, be at peace evermore."

Carlisle took a damp cloth and placed it on Elizabeth's forehead, so he could at least try to make her last moments comfortable. However, Elizabeth's eyes shot open and stared directly into Carlisle's golden orbs. The way she was staring at him...it was if she could see right into his soul...as if she could see everything about him.

"You have the power to save my Edward. I know you do. Do whatever you must, but please save my Edward!"

Carlisle wasn't sure if he had heard Elizabeth correctly. She had whispered so softly, even his vampire hearing couldn't make out the words too well. And yet, Carlisle had a feeling that at that moment where Elizabeth's green eyes pierced his soul, she knew every single one of his secrets. Maybe he had imagined Elizabeth's words, but somehow he knew he had to save her son. He had to save her Edward. He had to change her Edward. But could he do it? And how could he do it?

Elizabeth's sudden coughing fit brought Carlisle back to his senses. He grabbed a glass of water and brought it to Elizabeth's lips. She simply turned it away and sang out, although her voice was quickly losing its strength.


"My Edward..."

Carlisle glanced back over at Elizabeth's son. He was young, too young to die. Elizabeth had asked Carlisle to do whatever he could to save Edward, and no one around here would notice if one person went missing. Carlisle made up his mind. He would change Edward, or at least try, for Elizabeth's sake. He had been longing for a companion anyways. Putting the glass of water down, Carlisle sang back to Elizabeth.


"Shall live in my protection." Carlisle lightly pushed some hair out of Elizabeth's face.


"Take him now." Elizabeth gasped. 


"Your child will want for nothing." Carlisle tenderly brushed his palm against Elizabeth's damp cheek. If she needed anything right now, it was affection. The small touch seemed to work. Elizabeth smiled, stretched out a quivering hand, and slid her palm down Carlisle's cold cheek.


"Good Doctor, you come from God in Heaven." Elizabeth tried to smile stronger, but she was too weak.
"And none shall ever harm Edward as long as I am living." Which would be quite a while for Carlisle. No matter what, Carlisle would try and make eternity perfect for Elizabeth's son. For his son. For Edward. Elizabeth shuddered, and held out her hand to Carlisle.


"Take my hand. The night grows ever colder."


"Then I will keep you warm." Carlisle took Elizabeth's hand, although it would probably just make her colder. Still, it was the thought that counted.


"Take my child." Elizabeth motioned weakly to Edward. "I give him to your keeping." Seeing how much Elizabeth was shivering, Carlisle grabbed another blanket and laid it over Elizabeth.


"Take shelter from the storm."

Carlisle glanced over at Edward, and saw how unsteady his breathing was. If Carlisle waited much longer, Edward might die. Carlisle started to move away from Elizabeth, but she simply grasped his hand tighter and sobbed. Although Carlisle was strong enough to get away from Elizabeth, his heart wasn't. His heart bled when Elizabeth sobbed, all of her emotion pouring into her last moments. Complying with Elizabeth's actions, Carlisle sat on the foot of Elizabeth's bed as she tightly grasped his hand.


"For God's sake," Elizabeth sobbed again, her voice cracking.

"Please stay till I am sleeping. And tell Edward I love him." Elizabeth gasped for breath and clutched Carlisle's hand even tighter as she sang her last notes.

"And I'll see him when I wake..." Elizabeth held her last note for as long as she could, before releasing all of her breath and succumbing to death. Carlisle, his eyes shining with non-existent tears, took the blanket and pulled it over Elizabeth.

"Dead!" He called as he picked up Edward, rushing him outside. Carlisle looked at the young boy, his face and body so calm, before whispering in his ear.

"Come, Edward. It's time for your new life to begin."

AN: And there you have it! The first Les Miserables entrance! Don't worry all you Les Miserables fans, there is more to come! Oh, and Elizabeth and Carlisle weren't in love with each other or falling in love with each other. The affectionate touches were to calm each other and to say thanks. If you don't know what I mean, let me know and I'll try and explain it better! See ya next time!
