Carlisle's eyes close, utter, excruciating pain coming across his face.

We sit in silence; a silence that is filled with… suffering.

It's the only way to describe what is being felt.

"Wha-" Carlisle whispers brokenly, looking between Edward and I. "How long? When did it start?"

I could tell that he was feeling… well, what I imagine any normal parent would feel.

Terror.

Pain.

Like a failure… well, he looks as if he was feeling that.

Then there was that one little glimmer; the one that I had felt and the one the one that was so very dominant on his features.

His expression gave the phrase "if looks could kill" a whole different meaning…


An acceptable reaction.

Oh and the next couple of chapters will come... fairly quickly. Perhaps one every 30 mins. :D

please review.
