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?

Carlisle winced. That sounded more than painful for anyone, but to do it with something as fragile as the brain, he didn't know what was going to happen to this girl. For a moment, all he could feel was guilt, as she'd been doing it for him in the first place, and then he reminded himself that guilt wasn't a productive emotion. And if just for Edward's sake, he had to be proactive.

Pulling a little flashlight out of the pocket of his coat, Carlisle gently lifted each of Juniper's eyelids in turn and checked her pupils. They were reactive, at least, so that was a good thing. "Just let her brain heal itself," he said with a little shake of his head, reaching across the girl to squeeze Edward's shoulder.

"Aside from her losing consciousness last time, it worked right? There was no obstruction for you both to get around?" he asked, trying to figure out what had happened. The more he knew, the more likely it would be that he'd be able to help her.

Edward reached out a hand to his father's shoulder, squeezing it firmly at the first sign of self-blame. He didn't want Carlisle feeling guilty over this, regardless of what happened. Juniper had run full tilt into this on her own against their reservations, warnings and concerns. She was a stubborn human girl and Carlisle had been just as concerned about the process as Edward had been. He wasn't at fault.

Edward nodded at his questions. "So we wait," he looked down at Juniper fretfully. He hated waiting, waiting and not knowing. Who knew if her brain would heal itself, or if perhaps her condition would worsen? Still, panicking wouldn't do anyone any good. The best he could do was trust in Carlisle's judgement and hope for the best. The man had never steered him wrong before.
