Twilight One Shots *Requests Closed*

An Apple A Day (Cullen Coven)

*EDITED*

Carlisle Cullen stood in the door way and stared down his patient. She was young, barely 15, and now she wants alone. Besides his wife, Esme, who sat by her side gently humming to the girl.
Amena Larson had been a victim of a horrible drunk driving accident that took her parents and three brothers from her. Now she lay in a coma with little chance she will ever wake up. Carlisle remembered that day all to well. He had been the one to try and save her father, but the man knew his time was up.

"My Amena. You save my Amena. No matter what you need to do. You swear to me, Doctor. My daughter will live. You swear to me. Swear it." He coughed out as blood filled his lungs.
"I swear I will do whatever I can." Carlisle smiled sadly as he nodded to the nurse beside him.
"That's not good enough. You do it." The man's eyes stared into Carlisle and in that moment he understood that this father knew exactly what he was.
"Save my baby girl." He whispered as his eyes began to stare off.
Carlisle looked down in shock. How did he know? Was he aware of what this meant? He wanted him to turn his daughter?

That night when Carlisle got the girl stable and went home he relayed to his family what the man had wanted.
"Did you say Amena?" Alice asked in wonder.
"Yes, why?"
"I have seen her! I saw her with us! Carlisle she is going to join us!" The girl happily cheered as she clung to Jasper's arm.

Since that night, Esme has stayed by her future daughter's side. She was determined to make sure Amena was never alone. When Esme wasn't there, Alice was. When they couldn't be there Rose came. The Cullens watched over the girl for four long months as she stayed in her coma.
One day Edward came to collect his sister and found her happily painting the girl's nails.
"I think she would like this color."
"Why?"
"Her name. It means candy apple tree. And this is candy apple. Fitting don't you think?"

'I love candy apple.' a small timid voice filled Edward's ears.

His gold eyes darted to the girl and realized it wasn't her voice he heard. But her thoughts. She could hear them. Edward quickly called in Carlisle.
"What is it, Edward? Her vitals?"
"No... I... I heard her."
"What?"
"Her thoughts. I heard her thoughts. She can hear us. She said she likes candy apple."

Alice jumped up and placed her hand on the girl's cheek, "Amena? Can you hear me? My name is Alice."

'Alice is a pretty name.'

"She says your name is pretty." Edward made eye contact with his sister as she smiled, "Carlisle does this mean she will wake up soon?"
"I hope so. Call Esme and let her know. I am sure she will want to be here in case she does wake up."

*Four Days Later*

Vibrant green eyes opened slowly as Amena began to wake and found herself locking eyes with a beautiful woman with brown hair and honey gold eyes. The woman smiled softly and waved her hand at someone else in the room who stepped forward. It was a man who matched the woman in beauty with the same eyes.
"Hello Amena. I am Dr. Cullen and this is my wife Esme. Can you remember anything?" The man asked as he checked over her vitals and watched her closely.
"Wh-where- where's Alice?" She stuttered as she tried to find the words on her tongue.
Esme smiled brightly and stood up to let the said girl enter the room. All the Cullens had been waiting in the hall as Alice had told them their new sister would wake up today.
Amena smiled at Alice and waved her hand very softly, "Hi."
"Hi."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Candy apple red. It's my favorite."
