hi guys, i know its been ages (sorry) but this is a short chapter, because i am not 'meating out' this story until i get to a certain place in Carlisles timeline, but i hope you enjoy this little mini-chapter :)
chapter 5- the others
whilst studying in italy, i met some others, they were alot more civilized than the group in london...i didnt want to think about that. aro, caius and marcus, nighttime patrons of the arts. they were polite and very refined. they often tried to persuade me to stop my aversion to my ' natural food source' and i did them, both to no avail. my time with my new friends was coming to an end, i was to try the new world. when vampires became the stuff of myths i was able to talk and interact with unsuspecting humans as if i was one, i did wish i was, i was very lonely, it was too dangerous to form a close bond with humans, and so i often found myself alone.
my self control got better. i was now able to withstand the scent of human blood. i could do the work i loved without putting myself in constant agony. i found great peace at the hospital. i was lucky to be able to do what i loved despite what i was.
whilst working in columbus, ohio, i treated a beautiful young woman of about 16 in the summer of 1911, her name was Esme Anne Platt, she had a broken leg. i believe she took a shine to me, as did so many others, and though i didnt know why, she stuck with me. i often found myself thinking about her.
