Done All Wrong.

Carlisle Cullen, as any other head of a family would, worries. He worries for their well being. He worries while trying to protect them from any sorts of danger, he's aware of the things that could happen to them if something goes wrong. He's conscious of all the weight that lies on his shoulders.

He worries about having such a gifted family. While it might seem a blessing is also a curse, many eyes are on them, many threatening eyes.

Waiting for him to make a mistake, waiting for him to fail so they can take everything from him.

And after all the time he's passed looking out for his beloved family. He finds himself in this difficult position. Somehow he knew Isabella Swan meant troubles since day one. What with her being Edward's singer and all. And what were the odds? They had traveled around the world and not once they found someone like her. Maybe it was meant to happen. But what did it have to happen to them? To his precious family?

And most of all, to his Edward. Why him? He was the most fragile of them all; he, who liked to brood about every single aspect of life, he who put too much effort trying to survive his loneliness, he who longed for caring and being loved with the same intensity that he knew his brothers and sisters felt, he who longed for a connection beyond words, time and even human comprehension.

Suddenly his life was turned upside down and he had to fight what he was in order to be with his especial person. He had to learn to be cautious around her, to suppress his passion. And then, he had to fight for her life, they had being into so much trouble since she came to his life. Few were the moments when they were at peace just enjoying the love and company they shared.

No one was ready for Isabella Swan, especially The Cullens. Of course he had meant to make his point of view clear, but it was Edward, it was a false hope that somehow this twisted relationship with a human girl was what it was meant for him. It was the glee in his voice, the way his eyes illuminated and his pupils dilated whenever Isabella Swan appeared that made Carlisle stop.

It was his fault they were in this position. If only he would made his points clear, if he had succeed informing him about the consequences.

If only.

He almost lost his beloved son to the hands of the Volturi once. He was worried for the Swan girl and her safety, what we're they going to do if something happened to her? About Alice traveling around the world going to the Volturi trying to save his brother, putting herself in danger. It was too much too soon.

And now, here he was, trying to convince himself that his son had not meant what he said. He was a boy after all; reckless, impulsive, behaving like any normal teenager would in his case. But it was not the impulsive decision he had made, it was the meaning of it.

"I'm staying with the Volturi"

Had he failed as a parent, as a mentor? He had taught Edward pretty much everything he knew about vampires, life, and most of all about the Volturi. Who better than him to talk about their treacherous ways, their hunger for power, their thirst for blood, human blood, and even about their fantasies of world control? Where did he go wrong?

Letting out a suffering sigh Carlisle felt helpless, between rock and a hard place, for the first time in a long time, Carlisle did not know what to do.

What would be of his family? They would support Edward whatever the choice he made, of course, but what did it mean? Would they have to stay in Volterra? Live a vampire life with them? Sacrifice the way of life they had chosen?

Would they lose Edward and Alice once they decided to stay with the Volturi? Carlisle knew Alice too well and she would not leave Edward alone, and if Alice stayed it also meant that they would lose Jasper too, and after Jasper…

"Carlisle, my dear" He was so lost in his thoughts he did not felt the presence in the room until he made himself noticeable. Marcus, the second leader of the Volturi, was here. Carlisle felt relief, better Marcus than any other member of the Volturi to come and talk to him. He was sure they already knew about Edward's decision to stay.

Carlisle felt the quizzical eyes of Marcus on him and finally decided to talk, better now than later. He knew Marcus was not someone to pry into others lives. He knew he was here to listen.

"I-I don't know what to do" Normally Carlisle would not stutter but it was a difficult moment and now that he was talking it was like coming to reality, this was happening. He was about to lose his family.

Marcus stood silent waiting for him to continue. He had always being very fond of Carlisle, had it been another occasion he would throw a party for him. Carlisle, unlike Aro or Caius felt like a son. So he just waited.

"I mean, I have nothing against you. But-"

"You're worried about Aro?" Marcus knew he did not need an answer. Had he being in Carlisle's place he would be worried too. He knew better than anyone what Aro could do to satisfy his ambition…

"I did it for you, for us" Aro's voice rang into his head; it was almost as if being there again.

Clearing his head from disturbing thoughts from the past, Marcus looked at Carlisle and knew his friend needed comfort. Slowly but gracefully he placed himself next to Carlisle. It was a sight to behold, Marcus; leader of the Volturi, graceful, elegant, regal and apathetic to everything, sat on the ground bracing Carlisle, like a father would to his child.

"You've taught them well" He whispered to his ear. "You have nothing to worry"

"Yes, but-"

"Nothing. Let him be. Didn't you ask for me the same once?" Carlisle had forgotten about it, back in the time where he was with the Volturi he decided it was not the lifestyle he wanted and so made his decision to go. Aro had pleaded for him to stay, offering him all that he would want, even letting him feed from the animals as much as he would like. Caius, well Caius only warned him about his actions and threatening him with great consequences if he were to break one of their rules. But Marcus, Marcus was reluctant to his departure, he too offered him everything if he stayed, and after a long discussion, Carlisle asked him to let him be. To let him live. And now, Edward was asking for the same.

No matter how hard or difficult it was. He knew what was going to be his decision even before telling his family.

Marcus felt Carlisle's body relax into his embrace and knew his friend had come to a conclusion. However he felt the need to letting him now a piece of very important information.

"And I can assure you he is going to be fine, more than fine if you let me say so"

Carlisle felt a new rush of concern coming to him, did Marcus knew something he didn't? Had Aro told him something? Marcus was not someone to made comments like this. Call Carlisle a paranoid but after all that happened it was normal for him to be like this. He had almost lost two of his sons, and a human girl all in one day, and as far as he knew Aro could lose his temper and killed them all if he wanted to, after all they did broke two important rules. And now Marcus, Marcus of all people! Was making comments like this, something was going on and Carlisle need to know what it was.

Sensing the distress on Carlisle Marcus knew he had to make things clear, or as clear as he could, because even he did not understand it very well.

You must be getting old. A voice with a familiar feminine tone came to his mind.

"If I say so myself, it must probably be nothing." He tried to leave it at that, but when he felt Carlisle eyes on him, silently pleading for an answer, he knew there was no other way out. "Well the first time Edward and Harry where in the same room I felt something"

"You mean like a mate bond?"

"No, it was more than that. I just can put the right words to explained it, it feels like, like…"

What we had.

Carlisle gazed at Marcus once he felt silent, he was staring into space, his eyes were clouded by the memories of his lost love.
It was easy to forget what Marcus had being through, losing Didyme and by the hands of her brother, his friend, Aro, must not be easy. Carlisle could not relate to his sorrow no matter how much of a sensitive person he was. He could not bear the thought of even being away from Esme, let alone losing her forever, into his mind, it was too much pain. And Marcus, well, he was still here, going on, alone.

Carlisle kept silent waiting for his friend to come from his memory.

"But then again, I did felt that Edward and Isabella shared a strong bond too. I must be getting to old for this"

"Maybe Chelsea had something to do?" now that it came to his mind, Chelsea, one of the guard members of the Volturi was an important piece to all the information Marcus shared with Carlisle. She was capable to create a bond between two people so they would stay with the Volturi. She was, before the twins, the favorite of Aro. She was the reason why Marcus chose to stay with them even before what Aro did.

"No. I know her powers to well, and she has nothing to do with it, besides, what good can it do? Harry's not a member of the Volturi, and believe me he won't ever be one so there's no good in creating a bond between them if none of them plans to stay with us. Even when you know I personally regret this fact"

If Edward stayed with the Volturi, it meant that Carlisle would be there too.

"Tell me, Marcus. Who is Harry Potter? Why is he here?" It might have sounded too curious for his liking but Carlisle was eager to know about this boy, even now more than ever for what Marcus told him.

"Excuse me, Carlisle. The time went flying and I need to be somewhere else right now, my brother needs me."

And with the sound of his robes breaking the silence, Carlisle knew his opportunity was gone. As soon as he lifted himself from the floor, Esme appeared on the doorway, looking lovely as always, patiently waiting for him to make his decision. She knew it was better not to push him in moments like this.

Smiling softly she stretched her delicate hand to him, and waited.

The decision was made.

"I'm telling you, all this mess won´t change anything. Is just an unexpected event"

"In my opinion it would look more suspicious if we don't pay enough attention to this issue"

"Caius is right, if we disposed of this matter at hand without a care in the world, it would bring unwanted attention"

"Well then, what about his decision? His presence here would only cause troubles."

"Do not worry, Harry, my love. I would make sure everything goes according to our plan"

"I expect nothing less from you Aro. You gave me your word, and I would do everything to make this go on. According to the plan"

"Of course, my love. Now come and give me some of your delicious blood."
