Chapter 5: Questions and Answers
Esme thought about what question she wanted answered first.
“Why? Why did you change me?” she asked. She was going to lead up to this question but she just couldn’t figure out why he would have done this.
Carlisle took a minute to organize his thoughts. It was a hard question to answer without making her uncomfortable but given the current situation he decided that honesty was the best police.
“I remembered you so clearly from that day that I set your leg so long ago. I didn’t want to see you die like that” Carlisle answered quietly. He raised his hand to Esmes chin. He felt a soft warmth spread up his arm at the contact turning her face slightly so he could look into her eyes. “I’ve thought of you from time to time over the years. Wondering what had become of the beautiful Esme Platt. When I saw you there injured so severely all I could think was not her, not like this.”
Esme could not believe her ears. He had remembered her and wanted her to live. He was the only one who cared what happened to her.
“I’ve thought of you too. I used to have dreams of you sometimes,” she wasn’t ready to admit just how often she had those dreams, “I wondered where you had gone to. I came back when my leg healed and you were gone,” she admitted. /although she left out the part where she had made him a blanket. “How did you find me?”
“You were brought into the morgue at the hospital in town. I happened to be in there at the time,” Carlisle answered . He continued to tell her the truth as he desperately wanted her to forgive him for changing her.
“They took me straight to the morgue,” Esme gasped, “so I did die” Esme was horrified she had died and he had brought her back to face the pain, grief and lonliness.
“No Esme you were not dead yet. Only a living person can be changed. Although I do not know why they brought you straight to the morgue I can only guess that someone thought your injuries were so bad that there was no helping you. They were right other than changing you there was no way to save you.,” Carlisle explained.
“Do you know where they found me? What happened for my to end up in the morgue?” Esme asked softly looking down at her hands. She could not bear to look into his warm eyes while her decision was revealed. Part of her hoped he already knew so that she wouldn’t have to admit it our loud.
“Yes Esme, I know you jumped off of the cliff in an attempt to end your own life,” he said just as quietly trying to hide the pain in his voice that the thought of someone so wonderful wanting to take her own life gave him. He wished she would turn back to him so that he could see her face. “But I do not know why you chose to do that. I meant what I said to Edward about keeping your thoughts to himself. I would rather hear the truth from you but I will not press you to tell me. You can tell me about it when you are ready to talk about it.” Esme was stunned. Edward had not told him about her lost baby or about her former husband. He had no idea what had lead to her suicide attempt. She could not believe how understanding an kind he was. She was sure any other man would have been pressing for all the details he could gather by now. Since she was not ready to reveal all of her past to him she decided to ask another question.
“Carlisle how old are you?”
“About 250 years,” he answered. Esme couldn’t believe it. She was having a hard time with the concept of that much time.
“Where are you from originally?” she wanted to know everything she could about him.
“I was born in London, England and that is where I was born to this life as well,” he answered. He liked that she was so interested in learning more about him. He wasn’t used to wanting to tell people about himself but he found that he wanted her to know everything about him.
“How long has Edward been with you?”
“Edward has been with me for three years now,” Carlisle said not elaborating. Any additional information about Edward she would need to get from him, that was his story to tell.
“Tell me everything about this new life. My memories of you telling me during my transformation are a little foggy. I was more concerned with the pain,” Esme asked. Carlisle winced slightly at the reminder of the amount of pain he had caused her, all because he could not let her go.
Carlisle told her everything. How they were literally living stones never aging or changing. That there personalities were frozen as well at the time of the transformation. He told Esme of the constant thirst and that I could be controlled with the right amount of practice and discipline. He showed her what happened when the sun hit their skin and that that was why they were not free to walk around during daylight hours. He also told her of her new strength and skills, many of which she had already discovered.
While Carlisle told her all the he could of her new life he focused on her face and its perfection. Her skin smooth and pale retained the dimples she had in her human life. She positively glowed from the inside out with her warmth. When he had lead her into the sunlight for his demonstration he had momentarily lost every thought in his head while he marvelled at her exquisite beauty. She dazzled him, he wanted so badly to pull her into his arms that he had to make a concentrated effort to keep his hands at his sides. Although he did allow himself to hold her hand. He did not want to frighten her with the depth of the longing that was coursing through him. He had never felt anything like this in all his time on the earth.
Esme was completely focused on Carlisle. The feel of his hand holding hers gently in his sent a wave of warmth through her. His wonderful, warm, soothing voice telling her all about her knew life and assuring her that he would be there to help her through it all. She treasured the way he looked at her as if she were something special. She had waited so long for someone to look at her like that.
“Lets go home Esme. I’m sure you’d like sometime to think about all that I have told you,” Carlisle said hesitantly. He really wanted to stay just as they were side by side holding hands. He was really enjoying this time with her.
“Your right we should head back. I think I would like sometime to think and a nice hot bath,” Esme answered. With that they stood up and headed back to the house their hands still joined neither of them wanted to lose contact with the other.
