carlisle cullen, complete, day five, edward cullen, juniper golding

WHO: Carlisle, Edward and Juniper
WHEN: Day 5 around midnight
WHAT: Father-Son reunion
WHERE: B Dorm, just outside #218
RATING: PG/PG-13 at most
STATUS: Complete

Carlisle’s first day in this new land was spent trapped in a library, avoiding the sun. Now, while normally the learned man would have rejoiced at nothing to do with his time but read, he was not happy with the situation he found himself in. Because all he wanted to do, now that he’d learned that his lost son was in this place as well, was to find Edward.

Despite his panic and excitement, Carlisle was a smart man. He first went to the main offices of the dorms and requested Edward’s dorm and room number. When he didn’t find his son there, Carlisle made a quick run in the woods nearby, looking to see if Edward was out hunting. When that was fruitless as well, Carlisle had to do some thinking. He’d spent a great deal of his time in the library perusing the journal he’d been given, and Carlisle had a very good memory.

Edward had apparently found a friend in this place, a human girl that he cared a great deal for, given his protective comments toward her. Perhaps he was with this Juniper Golding. Carlisle didn’t bother attempting to get her room number from the goblins, as he’d had to provide proof of kinship to get Edward’s information, and even then, it had been a fight. So instead, he acted methodically, searching each floor of each dorm building for his son. Of course, he didn’t go knocking on doors, not wanting to bother anyone sleeping, but instead used a far more direct approach.

Walking down the second floor hallway of the B dorm, Carlisle did the same thing that he’d done a dozen times before. If this didn’t work, he didn’t know where he’d look next, but somehow, he couldn’t bring himself to use the journals.

Edward, where are you, son?

Oh ye of little faith, he teased her with a smile before slipping his hand into her hair. Edward hadn't had one single doubt that his family would love her if for no other reason than because he did.

"I'm not being arrogant, Juniper. Our minds are much more complex. You saw a glimpse of what our vision is like, our minds are much more vast and multifaceted than even that. We remember every moment of our eternity. You blacked out after having me in there and I've only been a vampire for eighty-odd years. Carlisle is much older than I. I don't want you hurting yourself." But she was already focused and determined and gathering her will and Edward groaned in frustration. If this went badly he was never letting her do anything again. That was that!

"Yes, she's going to do it anyway," Edward agreed grumbling. "I did mention she was difficult. She didn't even warn you." He sighed and shook his head. "This will be painful for her. Don't fight her or you could break her mind. You won't be able to speak to anyone even though you'll see them but she might be able to get a message across- Juniper I really think you should wait . . ."

Juniper smiled but kept her eyes closed. "Blah blah blah," she muttered to Edward's worries, not paying him any mind. What else good was she if she couldn't even do this? As Edward answered his father's question, so did Juniper, at the exact same second. "Yes, I am. Can I have a bit of hush from you lot, please?" she asked pointedly. "It's less dangerous now, stop worrying," Juniper grumbled, reaching up with her free hand to put it over Edward's mouth for a second before letting go of him. Dangerous or not, she couldn't take both of them, after all.

"Think of home," she said quietly, and then she went.

Or at least, that had been the plan. The minute Juniper's mind moved, it hit a wall with such force that her fingers slipped from Carlisle's and her whole body went head over heels off the other side of the bed, landing in a crumpled little pile on the floor. She was barely breathing, very unconscious, and there were no thoughts running through her head at all.

Carlisle's eyes bugged. "This is a really bad idea," he started to argue, but then Juniper answered his question that he'd not voiced and he blinked, momentarily distracted. "She can read my mind?" he asked his son, and in that split second of a topic change, Juniper took him home. Or rather, she tried.

He was around the side of the bed in an instant, checking her pulse and making sure nothing was broken. "Juniper! Juniper wake up..." he called, but she still didn't move. "Stubborn isn't the word for this one," he mumbled.

Edward swore as he dove off the bed after her. "Less dangerous she says . . ." He growled and gently probed her mind, but there were no thoughts. "She's completely unconscious, Carlisle. Let's get her on the bed." As soon as he'd said it he had her in his arms and was transporting her. What on earth she'd been thinking - oh wait, he knew exactly what she'd been thinking and none of it was good. Or sane. At least in his opinion.

"Juniper, love . . ." of course his anger at her was fueled by worry which quickly took over. He placed a cool hand over her forehead as he tried to rouse her both physically and by experimentally poking at her mind - something he'd never tried before. "She's not responding, Carlisle . . ."

Carlisle moved to sit on Juniper's other side after Edward had her settled on the bed, checking her over, instantly in doctor-mode. Physically, at least, she was alright, though he was going to watch her breathing carefully, as it was far more shallow than he'd like. "She should be in hospital," he grumbled, shaking his head. And from the look around he'd had earlier, there clearly wasn't one.

When Edward couldn't get at her at all, Carlisle frowned. "What happened?" he asked, assuming his son had been watching at least, with his own ability.

Edward raised his hands, too worried to form words just yet as he was still trying to figure out what exactly he'd 'seen'. "It was like . . . like she hit a wall. Like if you can imagine one of us running at full speed into a wall that couldn't break . . . only she was doing it with her mind." There was more than a casual note of panic in his voice as he looked her over wondering what they could possibly do. They had no hospital facility here, at least not one that he had seen, and he wasn't even certain that if there had been it would have been able to help.

"Even if we had an MRI machine or a CAT scan how do we know the damage isn't more . . . psychic rather than physical? I don't know how to help her . . ." he looked up at Carlisle somewhat desperately. I've just found her, please . . . just let her be okay.
