Carlisle's POV

I sat in my office as my cell phone rang. It was Rosalie.

"Hey, Rosie, what is it?", I asked. She should be in school right now and there had to be a reason for her call.

"Dad, could you find a way to end your shift earlier today?"

"I surely could find a way to do that, but for which reason?"

"You see, there are two other vampires in Forks. We met one of them in school. She and her brother are vegetarians as well. They want to meet us and we think you should be there as well. They will come by after school."

"Oh, OK. Well let me see what I can do and I will call you as soon as I know something."

"Ok, dad. Bye."

"Bye, Rosie."

I walked out of my office and went to look for the assistant medical director, Dr. Stewart. I soon found him.

"Dr. Stewart, I need to talk to you."

"Oh, Dr. Cullen. What can I do for you?"

"Well you see, my daughter just called me. There's an urgent family-problem and it would be great if I could end my shift two hours earlier."

"Of course, you can. I hope everything will turn out fine.", he said, looking concerned.

"Oh, I'm sure it will. Thank you.", I said. I went back to my office to call Rose. I told her I would leave the hospital when school ended. She was fine with it and said that they would wait until I was there.

When it was time, I left the hospital and made my way home. At one point I could hear someone play piano and sing. I didn't know the voice so I assumed that she was one of the vampires Rose talked about. The song she sang was beautiful. It reminds me of my human life and my daughter and wife, Bella and Marie.

Soon I arrived at our house and went into the living room. I saw the back of a female vampire sitting in font of the piano and a male standing near her. He nodded his head in my direction and went back looking at the female.

After the song ended she turned around looking at me and froze, like in shock. She did look familiar to me but I couldn't point my finger on from where I knew her. I just dropped it of for the moment.

Since the male stood nearer I held out my hand to him and said:

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Carlisle Cullen."

He took my hand and smiled, but as he heard my name he took in a sharp breath and looked at the female then said:

"My name is Jared Williams. Nice to meet you."


Jared's POV

Bella started to play. I recognized the song immediately. Soon after she was changed she told me everything she could remember from her human live. How her father, Carlisle Cullen, disappeared one night and that she still didn't know what had happened to him. We tried our best to get some kind of information about him, but there was nothing. It was hard for her. Not knowing what happened to him. In such situations you think of the worst scenarios and pray for the best. By now he would be long dead, no matter what happened but it was still hard.

Somewhere during the song, the last member of this huge coven came home. I nodded to greet him as I didn't want to disturb Bella. I wondered, if the Volturi knew about this. Bella and I had some encounters with them in the past and I can't imagine Aro being happy about such a big coven. I had to ask them about it later.

Anyway after the song ended Bella turned around and froze in shock as she saw the man. I had no time to ask her what was wrong, because the man held his hand out to me to greet me properly. I took it and smiled at him. He introduced himself, saying his name was Carlisle Cullen. Wait! What? I looked over to Bella and saw her shocked face. I know that I replied to Carlisle's greeting but don't ask me what I said. I really don't know. The only thing I could think of right now was the fact that Bella seems to recognize a man, who has the same name as her father. Could it be...? But I needed to be sure before I said anything. Before he could talk to Bella I said:

"OK. I know this won't make any sense to you right know but I need to know how long you have been a vampire."

"I'm 365, but why do you need to know?", he asked.

365 years. Bella is 360 years old and her father disappeared five years prior to that. These were just too many coincidences and Bella must have realized it as well.

It must have been too much for her because instead of saying something, she ran. She ran out of the door and into the forest. I had to go after her but first I had to give the others a short explanation.

"Sorry for that. I promise I will explain it all later, but first I have to get her back.", I said while walking to the door. They all nodded. Worry and confusion evidence on their faces. Then I ran after her. Luckily for me, that I am faster.


AN: I'm stopping here because the chapter would become too long otherwise and I didn't want to let you wait too long. I promise I will update as soon as the next chapter is written. Hope you liked it . Please review.
