Prompt : Discovered
Pairing: Carlisle-:-Esme
I prepared myself for another day of saving lives. I loved my work, don't get me wrong. But something was missing in my life. I couldn't figure out exactly what it was.
As I made my rounds, drifting in and out of the bleak, abandoned hallways that one day…I saw her in her room.
She lay motionless on her bed with most of her skin covered. Everything, except her face. The next couple of days I sat beside her, never leaving her side. I didn't know what I was doing; I'd never met this woman. After a week, she finally opened her eyes. They were a gateway to her soul and I…was lost. She reached her small hand out and I took it in mine, gently caressing it.
"I…I don't…I…" I stammered. But she silently shook her head, while a sweet smile appeared on her lovely face. A few strands of hair fell into her face, and I gently brushed them away. She was my angel.
"Don't say it," she croaked. "I can feel it, too."
