Carlisle

I live in Forks, Washington with my 3 children. Rosalie and Jasper are my biological children and were born 2 years apart. I adopted Bella into our family when we found out that she was alone.

We like Forks. There is little sun, a necessity for a family of 4 vampires that glitter in the sunlight.

Only once had we ever met another coven that feed as we do. The Denali's have become close friends with us. Their family consists of Carmen and Eleazar, Kate and Garrett and Tanya. Despite our several attempts to set Jasper up with Tanya, he neglected her liking towards him. He claimed that he didn't feel like she was the one for him. Jasper could sense feelings in others and could manipulate them. Bella was a mental shield. If we ever had to face the Volturi, she was our ticket out from under Jane's inflicted pain. She is also dating a member of the Quileute wolf tribe, Jacob. That is how we formed an alliance with the pack. Rosalie doesn't have a gift, but she was very good at sarcastic remarks and being very unfriendly to anyone that she didn't like. She argued with us frequently, but we wouldn't have her any other way. She liked to call herself "Queen Bitch", and she was right. I don't really have a gift, but I do have extra self-control when it comes to human blood. That's why I have become such a successful doctor.


I was changed in 1846 at age 23 by a vampire that I was hunting at the time. My father hunted vampires, witches and anything like that. When he died, I had taken on his role, only to become what the town feared most. I changed Jasper in 1863 at age 19, and Rosalie in 1864 at age 18. Bella was the youngest vampire in our small coven. She was changed in 1958 at age 19. She doesn't know who changed her, they left before she could register what had happened and she doesn't really remember much.

They went to school at Forks High school. They took the ages of 17, allowing us to stay in this town as long as possible. Rosalie and Jasper were believed to be twins by all the humans, and they did look very similar.


"Carlisle?" Bella called once I heard my children enter our very large house. I was in my office, finishing some paperwork from my shift.

I walked down the stairs and sat down in the immense living room with them.

"There's a new family in town…" Bella started the conversation.

"So?"

"A family of vampires…"

"Ah…"

"A coven of four. Edward, Alice and Emmett are the adopted children of Esme. Edward can read minds; Alice can...see the future." Bella explained.

"But her visions are subjective. They can change." Rosalie added.

"Yeah. Emmett doesn't really have a gift, but he has abnormal strength compared to them and us. Esme has an unusual kind and motherly nature."

"They told you all this?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're really nice. They feed like us too." Jasper said.

"They're hot too. Especially Emmett…" Rosalie smiled.

"Edward is a lot better than Emmett, appearance and personality wise." Bella said.

"Well look at that, they already sorted who dates who."

"Believe it or not, I'm still with Jacob." Bella said.

Jasper, Rosalie and I never really liked the relationship she had formed with him. He didn't exactly treat her fairly or with upmost respect, but she was happy, so we let it be.

"Okay, well if they're nice, invite them over. I'm sure they would like to have connections with our kind as much as we do."

"Okay, I'll text Emmett." Rosalie said.

"You got his number already?" Jasper asked.

"I got all of their numbers. Want Alice's?" she smirked.

"Well, normal I would say no just because you're offering, but she is very nice. So yes please." He said.

She gave it to him and he thanked her again.

"Do you want Edward's?" she asked Bella.

"No, thank you." She resisted, but it took her a second too long to reply, which showed that she wasn't too sure of her answer.

A knock on the door interrupted and we knew it was Jacob. That was our cue to leave. We didn't like hanging around when he was here. Rosalie and Jasper went up to their rooms, and I returned to my office.

It was about half an hour before I heard Jacob leave again. I didn't hear a single movement from Bella at all. Normally she would walk him to the door and watch him leave before telling us that he was gone. She knew that we didn't like him, and she refused to think that he didn't treat her right. Every time he left, she would yell up to us that he was gone and we roamed around the house again.

Today, I heard nothing. No footsteps and no call up. I opened my office door and Jasper and Rosalie had exited their rooms too.

"Why didn't she tell us that he's gone?" Rosalie asked.

I shrugged my shoulders and walked down the staircase. They followed me down.

I stood in the doorway to the living room and watched Bella as she stared at the blank wall in silence with a blank face.

"Bella?" Rosalie walked in and sat down beside her.

"What did I do?" she choked out before falling into tearless sobs. Rosalie took her into a hug and looked over at Jasper and I.

Jasper and I looked at each other. "I'm confused…" he whispered.

"He broke it off." I answered quieter, but my attempts to keep it a volume that only the two of us would hear failed and Bella stood and threw something at me before running out of the house and towards the forest. Rosalie followed her.

"What do we do?" Jasper asked me.

"Be empathic." Was all I could say.

"Well that's not hard, since I can literally feel whatever she is feeling…" he said.

"Just, be nice, and don't bring it up or she will throw things at you…" I lifted up the small flower statue that I had caught.

"Clearly…" he laughed. "Well at least we don't have to be nice to the dog anymore."

"You weren't nice to Jacob before. Neither was Rosalie."


"He said it wasn't "natural". I understand that it wasn't natural, but when has being different ever stopped either of us?" Bella asked.

"He didn't imprint, Bells." I pointed out. "It wasn't meant to be."

"That doesn't make it hurt any less…" she snapped.

"Hate him, Bella. He obviously isn't good enough for you so why should you be the one to be upset over it?" Rosalie tried.

"He was good enough."

"No, he definitely wasn't." I said.

"Now do you want Edward's number? You never know, he could be your soul mate, not that stupid dog that doesn't seem to own a shirt." Jasper said.

She unlocked her phone and gave it to Rosalie. She smiled wide and entered the number as a new contact.

"This doesn't mean that I like Edward." She clarified.

"You will." Rosalie was still smiling.

"I don't even know him."

"You will." She repeated and handed the phone back. "Oh, and they're coming over tomorrow after school. I texted Emmett before."

"Jacob would hate that…" Bella said, looking down.

"All the more reason to invite them." Jasper smiled.
