"Carlisle, could I talk to you?"
"Yeah Rose, what's wrong?"
"Your office?" She asked, looking to Esme and Melody before back to me.
I nodded and followed her in, closing the door behind me.
"Do you remember a while ago when you asked if I was okay and I said I will be and then I said I would talk to you about it once Melody recovered?" She talked so quickly her words almost slurred together.
"Yeah, Rose, is everything okay?"
"Carlisle, I'm…I can…" She lost her words.
I walked over and guided her to the chair. I squatted down in front of her, "Rosalie calm down." She looked like was going to hyperventilate.
She took a couple of minutes to calm herself. "Carlisle, lately I have been…seeing things, from the past. From my past. It's memories from…that day." She let out a few tearless sobs. "Carlisle, I am reliving that day over and over again." Her sobs became more frequent.
I didn't know what to say. I knew that the day she was changed was the worst thing that ever happened to her in her personal opinion. "Did you tell Emmett?"
She shook her head. "I didn't know if he would be able to keep it a secret, I don't want anyone else to know. Edward does of course, but I asked him not to tell anyone. I'm hoping I can trust him."
I nodded to show I understood. That's was when something clicked.
"Rose when did this start?"
"Um, I don't know maybe a month ago. Yeah, the day you brought Melody home." She stopped and lifted her head to look up at me. "Does she have like a gift or something?"
I thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. No one else has come to me. I'll ask Edward if anyone else is experiencing something similar to you. Surely if Melody was the cause then someone else would have seen something too."
She nodded and her face went blank for a minute.
"Rose? Is it happening again?"
She nodded very slowly, before a tear escaped her eye. I couldn't believe it. "Vampires don't cry." I thought to myself. I stared at the tear as it rolled down her face before she caught it.
She looked at the tear on her finger. "Venom?" She was stunned.
"Rosalie, you just shed a tear of venom…" I was in shock.
"What? No we can't cry…can we?"
I shook my head, "I don't know anymore."
"Rose?" We heard Emmett yell upon returning from his hunt with the others.
She stood up. "Please don't mention me in particular to anyone. I don't want any kind of sympathy."
I nodded with a smile and she gave me a hug. I kissed the side of her head. "We will fix this Rose."
"Thanks, dad." She said with a smile.
After she walked out, I sat behind my desk and thought about her memory and her tear.
I asked Edward to come up through my thoughts, and he was in the office not a second later.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Edward I know you have seen what Rosalie is seeing. Has anyone else?" I asked.
He shook his head, "Not while around me anyway. Rosalie didn't want me to tell anyone either."
"She just doesn't want anyone to worry about her. Okay, well if anyone does can you please come to me straight away?" I asked.
"Sure thing." He answered with a smile, and then walked out.
I was watching TV with Esme when Rosalie came back.
"Carlisle… I told her about it."
"What?" I didn't understand, and now Esme was listening.
"The first day, I knew she was in a lot of pain, but I also knew she could still hear me. I told her about that day. I told her we all went through it and that it would get better soon." Rosalie looked tired despite not being able to sleep.
I looked up at her. "Rose, you need to hunt." Her eyes were already golden, but I thought it might lift the tired feeling.
"I did this morning…why?"
"Rose you look really tired, like you haven't hunted in a while." Esme said.
"I feel really tired. I haven't been able to relax in a month." She whispered, almost to herself.
"What's going on?" Esme asked.
I looked to Rosalie and she looked to me. She took an unnecessary breath before sitting down. She explained it to Esme the same way she did to me, and asked her not to tell anyone as well.
Esme looked like a mix of horrified and concerned. "I'm sorry Rose." She whispered before hugging her.
"Edward said no one else has seen anything." I said softly.
"I keep reliving the worst day of my life with no one to talk to about it."
"You can talk to us anytime, okay?" Esme assured.
She nodded, "Carlisle, when I say it's the worst day of my life, I don't mean changing, I mean what happened leading up to that. Please don't think I resent for this."
I smiled, "I understand."
She gave Esme another hug, then me and walked out.
"You think it's Melody?" Esme asked.
"We aren't sure yet. I'm looking into it, but I'm waiting a while to see if anyone else experiences anything similar." I explained.
She nodded. "We have to go discuss moving with everyone. Bella said everyone needs to be in the dining room at nine." She said.
