Hours after Elizabeth left I felt my fever rising. I felt my strength waver. Dr. Cullen appeared at my side at an instant. He picked me up in his arms like I was weightless. Next thing I knew I was flying. The wind blew through my hair. It felt cool against my warm flesh. Moments later the wind died out and the warmth came back. In front of me was a small house. He carried me inside and laid me down on a single bed that was pushed to the farther side of a wall.
"I promised Elizabeth." Muttered Dr. Cullen
I just stared at him, confused. What did he have to do anything with Elizabeth? I felt my strength fail. I felt like my life was on a thread. My eyes closed and my life tipped over. Then the pain made itself present. It started at my neck and then at my wrists. Then the fire started. At first it was a little phantom shock at my neck. It gave my life strength to balance on the thread, again. Then it got more and more real. More and more hotter. Till it was a shearing burn at my neck and wrists.
The fire lasted for what felt like hours or even days. Then the warmth reached my heart. It was comfortable at first and then it grew more. Hot, then hotter, then much more hotter. To where it was uncomfortable then to where it was unbearable. All I wanted then was to die to get rid of the pain, the burn, the fire. The warmth reached my heart. My heart feeling like the sun. My shrieks didn't distract me form the pain.
My shrieks were the only things hearable.
Time had no meaning.
The burn was still there but it started to fade. It faded from my fingertips and toes, slowly. It crept slowly to my chest, to my heart. My heart thumped faster and faster. Then my heart just sounded like a hum. Then slowly it slowed down. I knew my heart was failing and I knew I was closer to death each passing second. My heart slowed and I knew the next couple of beats were going to be my last.
Elizabeth.
What would become of her? Would she be okay? My little girl. My little girl, growing up without a father My heart slowed and I knew the next beat would be my last.
Elizabeth, I love you.
My heart stopped.
My heart stopped but I could still breathe, hear, taste. How was this possible?
"Edward open your eyes." A voice said
I did what was asked and a new world was opened to me. Everything was defined. Every little dust particle. Everything.
My eyes landed on Dr. Cullen.
I felt threatened. I fought against it.
"What did you do to me?" I asked.
My voice sounded different. Attractive.
"What Elizabeth asked me."
What did he have to do with my daughter. Anger flooded through me and to my surprise I growled. Something that is inhuman. Elizabeth, what business does he have with her?
"Where is she?"
My eyes landed on the door. The only thing between it was Dr. Cullen.
"It's best if I explain from the beginning."
He told me about when he was young and to the present.
"So in conclusion, Edward, I'm a vampire and now, so are you."
I knew what I was but that didn't answer my question about Elizabeth.
"Dr. Cullen-"
"Call me Carlisle."
"Carlisle, this doesn't explain anything about Elizabeth."
"Yes, you see. Elizabeth asked this for you. More like made me promised." He chuckled
"That's impossible. Elizabeth doesn't even know what you- what we are."
Then I saw Elizabeth and Carlisle talking on a hospital bed. I could still see the room but this was like a side thought.
"What was that?"
"What?"
"I just saw Elizabeth and you talking on a hospital bed."
"You did?"
"Yes. Do you know what it was."
"Well, I didn't show you anything but I thought it. Of course. Edward your gifted."
"Gifted?"
"Yes, remember when I told you that certain vampire have extra talents?"
"Yes, but what does that have to do with me?"
"Your gifted but since I thought it maybe you can see thoughts. Maybe you can read minds."
"Okay, but it doesn't answer anything about Elizabeth."
He thought it would be okay to test my 'gift'. He started to 'show' me the conversation Elizabeth and he had when they spoke in private and also the one they had when she was about to leave.
"Elizabeth, only her. She is wise beyond her years." I chuckled
"Yes, she is."
"I need to see her. She needs to know that I'm fine. That I'm alive!"
"You can't do that."
"It's not your decision. She's my daughter." Anger flooded through me.
"You can't see her because you'll hurt her."
"I won't hurt her."
"Your stronger than her. You can crush her without any effort. Would you do that to her?"
"No. When can I see her?"
"When your under control. Your thirst and strength."
When he mentioned thirst an unbearable thirst came. My hand touched it on instinct.
"Follow me if you want to get rid of that."
I nodded and followed him towards the forest.
"I know you won't like this but you'll get used to it. Its better than killing humans."
I shuddered at that. No human should die for my benefit.I smelled the air and was hit with a sickly scent. I followed it and gave over to my instincts.I spent the rest of the day learning more about what I became. I said goodbye to my old world and said hello to my new one. But I never said goodbye to Elizabeth. Once she was old enough I would find her and be her father again.
I will not break my promise.

Elizabeth pov
My daddy was gone. Where? I don't know but I know he is safe with Dr. Cullen. He kept his promise. I hope daddy will keep his. I would certainly keep mine.
I would find him and be his daughter once again.
~%* 13 years later ~%*
"Elizabeth can you go to the market and pick up some vegetables?"
"Are you sure grandma? It's already night outside."
"I know it's night outside sweetie but I have my hands full, can you go pick some up?"
"Sure. I'll be back soon."
I left the house and walked towards the market. I found the vegetables and soon enough paid for them. Once I was around the corner I made my way across the street. Then a car speeded down the street and it hit me with unimaginable speed. The car never stopped it just kept going. I tried to lift myself up. I took my head in my hands and then I felt something warm. Blood. I felt faint and I couldn't hold myself. I fell to the ground and let the darkness consume me. Before my eyes shut I saw two bright red crimson eyes. Then the pain followed. Then the fire.
Dad, I love you. I let my shrieks take me away.
