The Life of Emery Paige

Carlisle Cullen

 I said "I was headed that way." he said, "Oh did something take your interest?" I said "Just keeping an eye on my sister and your son." he feigned interest "Oh really?" and moved until his chest pressed to my back then he said "Hmm, can't seem to see or hear them from here. Wanna try again?" I turned around "So maybe I was spying, he said, "Why?" I said, "Interested in what I heard?" I tried to slip away but he put his hand on the wall trapping me in my place. He said, "Where do you think you're going, Emery?" I said "Pharmacy?" he removed his hand and stood up straight "Wrong." I sighed but went inside his office where a very pissed yet confused Rosalie stood. She said "Carlisle what are you doing?" he leaned against the door and ignored his daughter "Now, you wanna tell me why you were spying on me?" that royally pissed Rosalie off, she said "You little brat!" and grabbed my arm, Carlisle quickly said "Release her! Now!" Rosalie quickly let go of my arm which was now bruising he opened the door "Go home!" she glared at me as she left, and he said, "I'm sorry about her." I sat on his desk as he grabbed a compression bandage to wrap around my arm and then put an ice pack on it before wrapping it. I sighed "I'm sorry for spying, I just don't like not knowing things, especially when I'm trying to protect Bella. Admit it, you'd be curious too if a group of adopted siblings has the same eyes that change color throughout the week, or if a teenage boy suddenly appeared by your side when 2 seconds before he was across the lot, especially if he stopped a van from crushing you with his bare hand and walked away without a scratch."

He sat in his chair and said "Yeah Jasper mentioned you noticed a lot." I said "My sister and I notice unnoticeable things. We always have. It was so Bella could protect our mom and I could protect Bella." He said, "Who protected you?" I said "Me of course. I have a question." he watched me which I took as a go-ahead so I continued "If you're a vampire how come you're a doctor? Don't you drink blood?" He said "My family is different, I make sure of it. We don't consume human blood, instead, we use animal blood to sustain us. And I'm a doctor because even if I'm damned I don't want us to also be monsters. I want to save lives, not take them." I said "Killing Bambi or not isn't helping the case of me hating Edward." he chuckled "I'm not trying to get you to like Edward. That's between you two. Why are you so calm with this information?" I said "Well like I said I'm an outcast and I assume your family isn't very popular in your world due to eating Bambi so that means the two friends I do have are also outcasts which kinda makes me happy." he said, "Do you have to keep referring to the animals as a sad little orphan that is alone in the world?" I said "Maybe those hunters shouldn't have shot his mother then." he said, "We do eat more than deer." I said "I figured but the idea of Emmett fighting a bear is too funny to think about. You know I could tell you a lot about your children in just a week, they are not very good with secrets, or appear to be human." 

He seemed intrigued "I'm listening." I said "Let's start with Emmett, while you're a civilized man he is a caveman. I have gym with him and let me tell you he doesn't know what the word slow is, we ran two miles, and let me tell you who can run 2 miles in 3 minutes, Absolutely no one. The world record in humans for the 2 miles is almost 8 minutes, now the kids in school chalk it up to drugs but even drugs are pushing it. Not to mention if any more food flies past my table, because he threw it im gonna put him in time-out. Fun fact I did, in fact, tell him this, all he could do is laugh, but he threw his food in other directions now so it seemed to work. Edward... well you know his problems he answers questions no one even asked, or just stares at you like he knows what you're thinking, and if he does then great but keep it to yourself bud. Alice is probably the most human child you have. Albeit a bubbly child-like one, there are human teenage girls like that, they are just generally really sheltered. Rosalie, she's that bitchy stuck-up rich cheer brat that everyone hates but she is pretty good at being normal. Jasper, on the other hand, I'm gonna take a wild stab and assume he isn't used to the bunny diet. Because to everyone else, he seems tense but if you watch him. He isn't breathing. At all. This may be ok for a vampire but humans need to breathe, also he seems to be in a lot of pain, in fact, that's how Jessica describes him but if you look at his mannerisms and body language he acts all stiff like every move he makes is painful."

He said, "Why is Emmett throwing food?" I said "I couldn't tell you, maybe he is bored? You can't tell me you didn't notice that the only boy you have that is a gentleman is Jasper. I mean Emmett, as I said, is a caveman and Edward is the biggest jerk in the land, then you have Jasper. The way he watches Alice, the way he opens doors for her, pulls out her chair, and twirls her around is so cute. I mean when little girls think of their dream guy? It's Jasper through and through, he is so patient with her and pays attention when you talk, it's like a fairytale. What did Rosalie mean? What did Alice say about me?" he said "Some vampires get a gift when they transition, something that was so strong in their human life that it follows them into their vampire life. Alice is one of the few who got a gift, she has visions of the future. She told the family of a vision she had of you at lunch." I said "And it was?" he sighed "You killed Edward." I said "And uh... who witnessed this murder?" he said, "Do I have to answer that?" I said "Ooh, you were in this vision?" he said, "How do you know that?" I said, "Because you gave it away, by not wanting to tell me." He sighed "Yes." I said "And what prey tell, distracted you enough so I could kill him? Cause letting someone kill your son doesn't seem like a Carlisle Cullen thing to do." He said, "Why is this important?" I said "Well at first it was because I wanted to know if Alice is really my friend, but now I'm curious. Especially since it irritates you." 

He said "Fine, in the vision, it was me, you, Bella, and obviously Edward. Bella was irritated with you, but I was worried about you." I said "Why?" he said, "I honestly don't know, Alice said you had a broken arm but we have no idea what it was from." I giggled "I may not be about teenage life but I gotta tell you, I plan on reminding Edward that according to Alice's vision, I'm more important than he is for... ever." I got up and went to open the door but he said "Emery." I looked back at him he gently said, "You can't tell anyone what you learned today, not even your sister." I smiled at him "I promise, but I have to warn you... she'll find out, she is determined."
