They both charged towards me with no clear plan of attack, they had a lot to learn if they though blindly running into battle was a smart Idea. I had my work cut out for me, with these two at least.

( Carlisle's POV)

I watched from the back door as Emmett and Garrett sped blindly towards Roenna, not a smart idea. In about the time it took a human to take and release full breath, Rona had them on the ground with her hands on each of their throats.

"Like I said, quick, and clever. You can't have one without the other or you WILL die. You must be observant, I gave you the perfect opening but the two of you were too focused on being fast to see it." Her voice was calm and steady, yet there was an authoritative undertone to it that spoke volumes. I continued to watch on as she ordered them to their feet to try again.

Looking at her now, at her golden eyes, I couldn't help a smile. I could still see when they were a scarlet color, blazing with a fire yet dull and bored of the world all at once.

When I met Rona, she had never even considered animal blood as an alternative to human. I remembered everything about that day, every detail burned into my memory forever.

It had been almost ninety eight years since I had been bitten, turned into what I believed to be a monster. I thought ninety eight years was a long time to live, too long. As I walked though the streets of some city in northern America I hadn't bothered to learn the name of at the time, I caught a scent. It was intoxicating, but in a completely different was than human I had ever been around. I had long since learned how to curb my hunger. This confused and frightened me, that is until I realized I didn't crave this scent the way I craved blood.

It wasn't something I wanted or needed to consume, but something I needed to have, to be near always. Following that wondrous aroma I found myself in front of a small shop. Confused, I stood outside the window for a few moments. It was a book shop something that was relatively new to this part of the state as far as I was aware.

The door opened, capturing my attention. A beautiful, woman emerging, no beautiful wasn't enough to describe the creature I saw before me. She was utterly breath taking, if only I had a breath to give. But then I saw her eyes, scarlet in color and dangerous, though they seemed bored and uninterested in everything that surrounded her.

Another vampire, like me- though she clearly favored a different diet than my own. She paused upon leaving the shop, and those stunning eyes of hers snapped to meet mine. She looked utterly perplexed for a moment before her gorgeous face pull into one of shock.

She was in front of me in an instant, faster than any other vampire I had seen so far in my long life. she studied my face for what felt like an eternity, and it very well could have been, being what we are.

Then she smiled, and I truly felt my world halt. It was the single most beautiful thing I had ever seen in over one hundred years of being on this planet. I was at a loss for words, but she was not.

"Oh my goodness would you just look at you! In all my years I have never seen anything like it! truly amazing, tell me how have you managed that? was it difficult?" Her words were too fast for a normal human to be able to decipher, but I had no problem with hearing what she said. It was her voice that threw me, soft yet strong, elegant and wise with the excitement of a child.

I took a moment to compose myself before speaking. "U-umm, I'm sorry ma'am, I'm not sure what you mean. how did I manage what exactly?" A slight twinge of annoyance crept into her perfect face for a split second before smiling again.

"You haven't met much of our kind have you?" She turned to begin walking away, I could feel a pain in my chest, watching her leave. But she turned and looked at me after a few paces. "Well? Are you coming or not? We may have all the time in the world, but I'd like to get back before sunrise if you don't mind." I followed without question.

we ended up talking through the night and well into the following day. I told her of my special diet, not having harmed a single human and had no intention to ever do so. she told me of how she had lived for thousands of years and had not once seen one of our kind with eyes such as mine.

I was captivated by her so completely, until she disappeared with only a note. Telling me that She was sorry, that she could no longer be around me. in her note she said that her presence was putting me in danger, but that a mutual friend of ours would carry letters between us.

then, after a while the letters stopped, and I started my search for her, fifty years with no luck. A while after that I got news that Roenna- my love- had died somewhere in Europe, murdered by another of our kind. For years I thought I lost her, only to have found her now, and I never planned on letting her go again.
