Chapter 38

Alice

I sighed and frowned as I sat down on the sofa, Edward looked to me and frowned, “What’s wrong?”

I looked to him and thought about the vision I had just had, the third of its kind today. One of Carlisle’s nurses was struggling with something and I had seen over the past few weeks that she had been meeting up with Carlisle frequently. I knew Carlisle would never even consider cheating on Esme, the couple loved each other too much, but I couldn’t help but worry that it would lead to something dangerous for all of us. 

Edward nodded in agreement, it was just the two of us at home, everyone else had gone hiking and Esme had gone shopping, so we were free to talk. He sat next to me and leant back, “I saw it in Carlisle’s thoughts that day it started, she’s got problems at home,”

I sat up and frowned, he knew the whole story and hadn’t thought to share with anyone?

Edward shrugged, “The nurse hardly wanted to tell Carlisle, it wasn’t my place to go around telling you all when he swore not to tell anyone,”

I sat back with a ‘humph’ and crossed my arms, “What can you tell me then?” 

Edward rolled his eyes with a smile, “You’ve got nothing to worry about. He’s just offering an ear to listen, nothing else.”

I was about to retort when I was sucked into another vision involving the nurse we were talking about and Carlisle.

Edward swore under his breath and went to get up, I stopped him though, “You’re too late, Esme’s going to surprise him and catch them. You’d be better going to find the others and bringing them back,”

He nodded and ran off out of the back door. Turns out I had been right. 

Carlisle

“Dr Cullen?” One of the nurses called me from their station as I headed to my next patient. I turned and walked over to him, “What can I do for you Adam?”

He held out a Post-it note, his face grave as he explained, “This was pinned to Lou’s locker. She told me you’d been helping her through some problems, and I wondered if you knew what this meant?”

I read over the scrawl of writing and snatched the paper to read it again, swearing in my head as I did. 

“Get an Ambo and police to her house, now!” I snapped at Adam as I turned away, hoping I could get there before I was too late. 

I pulled up in my car and jumped out, running to the door and banging on it loudly, “Lou?”

I heard a man grumbling inside, muttering about the ‘early hour’ as he descended the stairs. He pulled the door open and looked me up and down, “What do you want?”

I could smell the alcohol on him as he glared at me from the doorway. He was a short grubby man with a few days stubble on his face.

“Where’s Lou?” I snapped at him sharply, no doubt this was the abusive husband.

He shrugged and went to turn inside, “Said something about throwing herself off of a cliff, not that I care.”

I thought quickly, their house backed on to the woods that came out to a valley a mile or so away, it would be a good half an hour walk from here.
