A/N: Hey everyone! I am so sorry for making you wait as long as I have. Reviews may make me work quicker. I hope you all enjoy! On with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, Ellie is my own creation.
It was only after I dove into the sea following a boat heading for what Eleazar called England, that I realised how inexperienced I was. Sure, I had my power but I had only ever known the Denalis and Carlisle in my life as a vampire. The one thought that ran through my head was to avoid Italy or risk running into the Volturi. I spent time exploring the sea life, marvelling in the beauty of it all. It was peaceful, too peaceful for me in the ocean. I was glad when I finally reached land.
I walked along the coastline changing into dry clothes before watching boats pull into the docks. It was overcast and many human children ran around happily. I grinned, relishing in the innocence of the young. I answered the questions of many males who didn't recognise me and received many glares from their wives. Overall I thought England was a lovely country. As night came I wandered into an alley.
"Where do you come from Missy?" a voice asked catching me off guard.
I turned around to see a tall male vampire, easily towering over my small form, his eyes were covered by his sandy hair but I could make out the ruby red of his irises. My shield wrapped itself around me instinctively, sensing my discomfort at the man.
"I haven't seen you before and please don't tell me that you are British scum." He sneered, though his eyes held nothing but warmth and curiosity.
"I'm from Alaska," I replied quickly to this strange vampire.
"You don't sound like it. I'd have said the south. A member of the new-born armies?"
"Originally from the south, but I moved when I was turned. And you're an American. Do you mind? I'm not particularly comfortable with this situation."
"Of course Miss. I am Garrett and I assure you that I mean no harm to you."
"Ellie. My name is Ellie."
"Well, Ellie, allow me to show you the best place to hunt."
I snorted and gave him a look of disgust. "You may keep the humans to yourself I have my own diet. However, I am looking for a job in medicine."
"But you only look like a child. How old were you when you were turned? 13? 14?"
I crossed my arms in annoyance and I could almost see Ma, Pa and Jasper grinning.
"I was 15 nearly 16 thank you very much. And I have graduated from a medical school," I nodded, showing him my papers.
Garrett laughed in amusement.
"I do not find my age to cause hilarity. Please tell me why you are laughing so."
"I'm sorry it is just how you said it. You seem like a fighter."
"Not professionally but I could beat the boys in the town. Ma absolutely detested it but Pa encouraged it even if it wasn't becoming of a lady. Of course not many of the boys tried to fight me; they were so scared of Jas…" I trailed off, venom once again welling up in my eyes at the thought of my dear brother. "It doesn't matter. That was when I was human. My coven like to spar sometimes."
"And where is this coven of yours, hmm?" he smirked.
"Back in Alaska. I left to pursue a career in medicine, but I do not believe this town to be the place to study. May I ask where exactly we are?"
"Newquay. I believe the midlands may be the best for you."
"Whatever you say."
We travelled to the midlands, stopping off for us to hunt.
"Disgusting." I muttered when Garrett came back.
"At least mine doesn't taste of dirt," he retorted.
"And you'd know that from experience would you?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Touché" he muttered.
Welcome to Sherwood Forest, home to Robin Hood."
"Who on earth is Robin Hood?"
"An English," Garrett made a face of disgust. "A British tale about a man who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Not many animals here but it is unfortunately rather beautiful."
We looked around the midlands until morning came, when I set off to find a hospital.
I was not disappointed when I found Nottingham General Hospital. It seemed as though luck was on my side as they were advertising a job.
"Excuse me, you have a job vacancy and I would be willing to fill it."
The receptionist gawped at me.
"You're too pretty to be a doctor!" She exclaimed. "I'll take you to the owner."
Garrett and I followed her to an office.
"We have someone wanting the job."
"Bring him in."
We walked in and immediately he was taken aback.
"So son, you want to be a doctor."
"No sir, my brother isn't the one wanting the position, it's me."
"But you're a girl!"
"And a qualified doctor," I handed over my papers. "My gender does not make me any less efficient at my job."
"Take her to the head doctor and see what he thinks," the man said to the receptionist before turning to me. "If he says you can have the job you can have it. Now go."
We left and Garrett was smirking.
"All the British are like that," he muttered.
We walked into yet another office and I was greeted with a familiar person.
"Hello Carlisle."
A/N: Thanks for reading. I am so sorry if you feel like I dragged on in this chapter. And we met Garrett! I honestly love Garrett and he is one of my favourite characters out of the series. Carlisle is back! WHOOP WHOOP! Once again Carlisle is one of my favourite characters and I want him as involved with my story as much as possible.
Please leave a review telling me what you thought and if you haven't already favourite and follow!
