A/N; I am very sorry that I haven't updated in quite a few months but there has been so much for me to do for exams that I have put off uploading this chapter for ages. It isn't as good as I would've hoped but it was just a random short one- I aim to try to upload ½ more chapters before my exams at the end of May.

Thank you for reading

ESME'S POV

I never thought I would react in the way that I did when I first saw that deer, but I something inside me took away all my control. I guess my behaviour was accepted because Carlisle had the cheeky grin on his face that I saw the first time we met; it was as if what I was doing was correct.

After finishing the last of my savage like behaviour a terrible pain ran through my neck… I was hungry… I had just eaten a whole deer and yet it wasn't enough! I wanted more… I needed more!

"Carlisle, w-w-w-what's happening? The deer… I mean I just ate that deer… why do I not feel any different?"

"Don't worry my love it is natural. For the next few weeks you will get these frequent urges that no matter how much you try to avoid them, you will find it impossible not to attack. But it's ok, we're all here to help, I promise I won't leave your side throughout"

It was at that moment that, although it was obvious it couldn't happen, my heart began beating. There was something about Carlisle's last sentence that made me feel warm inside and yet so cold at the same time.

It was impossible for me to feel this way. I mean I didn't really know him at all. Yet in that split second I felt as if I had known Carlisle all my life; every mishap he had, every like/ dislike, every little detail that you should know about the one you love.

But that was it! I couldn't be in love with him- I just couldn't!

"Esme? Esme are you ok honey?" Suddenly I realised that I had gone off into a daydream and had left the 6 of them staring intently at me.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something and I must have dazed off. I know it may sound daft but, well, what are you exactly… to be precise what am I? This sparked laughs between the younger ones of the group.

Alice, the chirpier one of the 6, answered with a simple sentence that did the exact opposite of what was expected. "First you must not be alarmed but all I will say is this. We do not eat human, we have incredible speed & strength… basically we're vampires, but there's no need to worry you'll get used to it!"

Vampires? As in real life blood sucking vampires, that just so happen to be vegetarian? Not only that, look rather cute despite being hundreds of years old! And Carlisle was one of them, something in the back of my mind made me feel even closer to him than ever before.

"Ha-ha! Well this should be a fun experience for him" The youngest looking one, who was called Edward, suddenly had an outburst of laughter; it was as if he knew what I was thinking.

"Sorry about that I can't control what I hear, it's the slight disadvantage of mind reading.."

That means he heard my thoughts of Carlisle… He knows I'm in love… Oh my, it's true…

I love him!
