Heavens Overrated.

Chapter 2

The journey to doctor Cullen's was uneventful. He and I both said nothing, for which I was grateful. I coughed and coughed but still we said not one word. I could tell I was getting worse, I didn't need a doctor to tell me that. When we got to the house he led me to the living room and told me to take a seat. He then left to go to the kitchen; I was left in this wonderful living room.  There was a painting of four men, one of which looked like Doctor Carlisle but when I looked closer I noticed that it was painted in 1723, it must be a relation, a great, great grandfather mabey. The others all looked inhumanly beautiful and were in black robes. I then heard Doctor Cullen return.

"Here Edward" he said, handing me a glass of water

"Thank you sir" I took it and drunk a bit.

"Please, call me Carlisle"

" If you wish it" I then returned to looking at the picture and I was caught doing so.

"Who do you think this man is?" He asked, pointing to the man I thought was him.

" A relation to you I believe however I did think it was you at first but then I looked at the date." He seemed to ponder my answer for a second and then he replied

"You were right the second time" What? It can't be him! The only word that came out my mouth was

"How?" He sighed, obviously not wanting to continue.

" I am," he sighed again "I think it would be easier if I just show you" show me what?

"Very well, show me" What is he hiding?

" Before I show you I must say that when I was taking you here I was staying out of the sun" he took my hand and took me through a back door, which led into the garden. He stopped in the shadows and turned to look at me.

" Be brave" were the final words he said before he stepped into the sunlight.  I could not believe what I saw. Carlisle in the sunlight was shocking! Every inch of his skin was covered in what looked like diamonds. It was glorious.
