Long way home: Prologue

Carlisle POV

My shift was almost over. It had been a long night at the hospital, helping the victims of a traffic accident was not very easy. I knew it wasn't safe for me to work here any longer but still I kept coming back every night for my shift.

Since people had found out about vampires, things had changed. The entire world had been divided into small communities surrounded by walls. So was the town I still lived in with my family: Forks, in the state that was formally known as Washington.

It was very dangerous for vampires to live in human communities because they hunted everyone who was even suspected of being a vampire down. They had invented some kind of weapon to paralyze us so we were easier to catch.

The city's that were not protected by walls on the other hand, were ruled by the vampires. Every single human that dared to wander around in such a city, was sure to be dead a few minutes later. Los Angeles was one of those city's.

"Goodnight doctor Cullen" Nurse Betty waved at me as I walked by the nurse station, still lost in thought.

The only reason me and my family still lived inside a community run by humans was because we were different. Only a small group of vampires around the world survived on animal blood instead of human blood. Sadly enough these vampires were rejected by the others of their kind and therefore it was safer to live with the humans instead of wandering around without a home and taking the risk of being killed by your own kind.

I suspected that many people at the hospital knew I was a vampire. What I did not know was why they hadn't fired me yet. I walked to my silver Mercedes that was parked outside. I would never give up my job in the hospital voluntarily.

As I approached the driveway of our house 10 minutes later, I saw something bright and shinny through the trees of the forest. It didn't take me long to realize what it was: Fire.

Without thinking I drove towards the house as fast as my silver Mercedes would go. When suddenly out of nowhere something slammed into my car. With a loud crunch of breaking glass, I was propelled through the windshield before landing on the dirt road a few meters further.

The fact that 'accidents' like these couldn't kill vampires, didn't mean it didn't hurt us. I grunted as I got on all fours in my attempt to get back up. Behind me I heard footsteps approach. I hoped it was Edward, Jasper or any of my other children, but deep down I knew that wouldn't be the case.

"We've got ya now bloodsucker!!!" I heard a heavy male voice yell at me. I knew he was not the only one. As I tried to turn around to see how many people where there, something hard connected with my head.

I shook of the dizziness and growled preparing to attack whoever came near me. Normally I would never attack a human, but this time they threatened to kill me, and I had to make sure my family was alright.

I got to my feet in a burst of adrenaline and swirled around to face the crowd of people that were standing behind me. I saw at leas a dozen men and woman staring at me with horror and hatred in their eyes.

"My god it's doctor Cullen" I heard several people gasp. Before I could react I heard a terrifying scream coming from the house which I recognised immediately: Alice.

With my vampire speed I ran towards the house leaving the crowd of people staring after me. Then I noticed there were more people. All gathered around our house, watching it burn down to the ground.

That was the last thing I remembered before I felt something stab my shoulder. It was a needle. I fell to the ground and everything went black……….
