A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while I've been busy with exams/results and application forms for A Levels. I wasn't sure what to do for this chapter so I thought I'd do it on the reunion of Esme and Carlisle. Hope you like it xxx
I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS ALL BELONG TO STEPHANIE MEYER.
EMMETT'S POV
I couldn't believe what was happening; Esme, the love of Carlisle's life, was here not only that she was miserable and longing for a way out. Suddenly the front door clicked open and within that moment our life truly changed…
'Evening everyone', Carlisle said, gracefully walking into the room. "What have you lot done now? Emmett you better tell me what you have done wrong before I found out myself!"
'First why do you always suspect that I've done something wrong? Second, Esme is about to jump and if you don't get there fast it'll all be over' I replied questioning why whenever something happens I'm the first to get blamed.
Carlisle stood there still; I had not seen a vampire go into shock before and was certainly extremely worried. 'E-E-Esme? As in Esme Platt? The girl with the broken leg?' we all nodded in reply to Carlisle. 'What do you mean she is about to jump and that I have to save her?'
Alice, being her usual self, began explaining her vision- of how she saw Esme standing on the top of Braiy Cliff moaning of how her life was no longer worth it and how she wanted nothing more than to be with him again, her Carlisle Cullen. Carlisle stood there frozen like the ice of our skin until finally he managed to produce a phrase… 'I must go. She must not die', with that he was gone; he took the car and sped off into the distance muttering under his breath frantically. The aftermath of his decision to go was something we all could only have dreamed for.
CARLISLE'S POV
'Esme is about to jump and if YOU don't get there fast it'll all be over' Emmett's words had hit me hard and I couldn't get them out of my head as i attempted to drive to Braiy Cliff only hoping I would make it in time…
It had been 9 years since I had seen her, smelt her scent, a part of me was so nervous about her not being there when I arrived or her not wanting me; but I knew one thing was for sure, I needed her.
I finally arrived to the sounds of screams and cries of 'Help', 'She jumped. She actually jumped!' I got out of my car to see a woman screaming at two guys who were dragging a woman's body out of the sea. The female was soaking with ripped clothes and yet I knew it was her- behind all that pain,, there she was, my Esme.
'Excuse me, let me through I'm a doctor I can help', I quickly barged through the crowd trying to get a better glimpse of her. 'She's dead, that's it. She jumped off the cliff and drowned there's no way any doctor will be able to help her now', one of the guys carrying her spoke to me before setting her down on the ground and walking away to comfort what seemed to be his wife.
'I will take care of her body; I'll make sure she is ok. You make sure that your wife is fine, oh and thank you for retrieving her from the water; nobody else would've been brave enough', I thanked the man and watched and waited till all 3 of them were off in the distance.
Oh how could she do this; how could Esme do such a stupid thing such as end her life. As I held her in my arms I noticed two things: first, the beautiful sixteen year old I once knew and always loved was no longer there. Second, she had a pulse- it may have been slow and off beat but there was definitely a pulse. Esme was had survived, just! 'Esme, Esme can you hear me? It's me Dr Carlisle, I am here and you're safe now' she murmured something I could not even her. I moved her body so that I could see her face again; it was at that moment, as I looked at her beauty, that I knew what I must do… I had to change her! I could not leave her in this pain and the only way possible to save her was this.
'Esme listen to me, I'm going to save you but in order for me to do this you will have to experience more pain. But listen I will always be here throughout it all, throughout everything…'
That's when I did it, I knew the rest of them may not have agreed- especially not Jasper; but I had to I didn't know why but for some reason there was something in my mind that brought me to do it…
Without a moment of hesitation, I bit her…
ESME'S POV
It was him, he had come back to save me; Carlisle Cullen was actually her, right beside me, talking to me. I was unable to hear fully what it was that he said but I didn't care all that mattered was that he would save me and maybe for the first time in 9 years I could be happy again…
Suddenly I felt a sharp sting in my neck, like a dog and dug into me and was chewing away at me… I suddenly felt a cold hand reach up to the other side of my neck and I realised who it was- it was Carlisle! I tried to move or say something but then it started- the pain promised by Carlisle, the excruciating pain that overthrew all my body!
Then in that one second the Esme I had been growing up, the Esme who met Carlisle for the first time and the Esme who had been beaten so many times until breaking point, were gone… each and every single moment was overthrown by pain…
The next thing I knew was that I was in a room surrounded be 6 extremely pale people all staring at me… and him… the one I had spent 9 years dreaming of was there with me… holding a deer…
TEAM CARSME FOREVER;
Hear my soul speak:
The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service.
