Paris France, land of love & mystery....

[Carlisle Cullen MD]

Paris, France. The perfect romantic destination. The Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, The Arc du Triomphe all within reach. Or not.

I stand here on Champs Elysees trying to get my wits about me. My mind is a whirl of unrest, angst and worry. My wife, our daughters and friends have been taken to Volterra against their wishes being accused of murders they surely did not commit. I know though, that my boys are more than capable of taking care of the situation while I, along with Liam, Sio, Maggie, Demetri and Jane, remain behind to gather evidence that will prove our family and friends innocence.

I find my self distracted by the lights on the Champs Elysees, the lovers walking slowly holding hands whispering sweet nothings in each others ears and the music that leaks from each bar we walk past... all the things Paris is supposed to be. I glance back seeing Liam and Sio holding hands & keeping watch over Maggie. Demetri and Jane walking far behind us discussing whatever orders they have been left with. A place of warmth and fire now seems so cold and empty. I shudder as the thoughts tiptoe across my mind, almost feeling a chill as the pang of emptiness echos and billows into a roaring giant hole inside of me. We have to get the proof that Aro will require in order to prove my family's innocence and that's exactly what we're going to do.
