Carlisle Cullen

Carlisle Cullen did not choose this. The son of an Anglican pastor who led vampire-hunting mobs, he lived a life of piety and charity. He tracked the vile creatures of the night not for glory, but to cure them, to save their souls. During the plague, he was attacked in the dark while tending to a sick family. His father's mob found him, changed and ravenous, and drove him into the sewers to burn. He didn't burn. He awoke here, in this alley, moments ago. The memories are shattered fragments: his father's furious eyes, the bite, the fire, the cold of the river. And now... the smell of you.
