It happened so quickly I didn't realize the symptoms were already spreading through my home and before I knew it my father lay before me in his bed, dead. His heart beat no more, another victim to the spanish flu. It was only too soon that that it struck myself and my mother.
A dry throat, chills, a fever, and who knows what else was the bane of my existence. Every thought and feeling was consumed by the thing that was the Spanish flu. Day after day we sat in the hospital waiting. Waiting for what, we had no clue.
My life was a routine, when dawn broke a nurse would come and check on us, occasionally giving me a sponge bath. Vulgar is the way it really was, all she was teying to do was assess how manly I was, nonswnse she wasn't at all the ideal woman I wanted, far too easy. Then just as the sun set Doctor Cullen would come and check on me and my Mother.
It had to be night out for Doctor Cullen came and gave myself and my mother an exam, he only took he night shifts for some odd reason. The fool, he probably didn't care whether or not we lived or died juat wanted to sleep all day and get paid a wealthy sum. My mother held my hand as she knew I feared this, not being able to protect her killed me, she was in pain and I couldn't do anything still she tried to help me. Her expressive green eyes were centered on my own. We looked at eachother and like we always did shared a conversation, something I hoped to bring on to my next family if I survived at least.
I fell into a restless sleep. People were talking, saying my name, a male and female voice. I couldn't make out what they're saying but their conversation filled with pain and contentment simultaneously. I discarded the idea it was no doubt just a dream from my subconscious.
"Forgive me." Doctor Cullen's soft, gentle voice resonated in my ear and woke me up. Then an earsplitting pain took over my body. It was a fire. Putting your hand on a red hot poker straight from the embers multipled by 1000. There was a slight breeze though only for a matter of moments, I had no idea where it came from. I knew I was in someone's arms for I could feel one upon my back and one under my knees.
The fire consumed me but it was clearing, becoming more manageable. Suddenly the flames were extinguished, I opened my eyes and I saw everything.
I shot forward my eyes traveling across the room I was in, it was not a place I recognized but as I flipped over my memories I found I could barely remember anything at all so it would've made a difference.
"Edward," a voice called out, a sound I knew. Doctor Cullen, Carlisle Cullen. I was still turned towards the door ready to leave but leaned in, to the voice. Suddenly his voice rang out and it sounded like something I had never heard but was clear and beautiful at the same time,"Edward, hello, you may be a a little disoriented but it shall pass in only a few moments. Your mother she wanted me save you, minutes before her timely demise she told me to save you."
My mother, I had a mother? All I can seem to conjure up is a women with bronze hair and green eyes, could that be her?
It's not fair!!!
Where could it be?
I love this.
Voices none of whom I was acquainted with, were in my head when all who were was in the room was myself and Carlisle.
Carlisle's voice joined the others in my head, I had none the faintest idea how this was possible.
How do I ask him to take my name? He must be confused after all he must not have much recollection for his time as a human.
"Why would I take your name? Also to the matter why can't I remember anything before just now? Aren't I still human?" I questioned, the sound of myself sounding like wind chimes.
He didn't answer my question but took me to a forest, the voices never ceased it was beginning to give me a headache. There and only then once we were well out of range from any human life force he explained it to me, what I, things that have changed, and a more detailed process on how I became like this.I hunted and drank from the my prey. I believe I did well, Carlisle had a proud look on his face.
One day I will find solae in this new life, I will do anything it takes to make this life one I can be proud of, one were I'm not a monster.
