Comfort

“So… he’s suffering from depression?” Alec questioned and agreeing Jane explained, “Must be hard for him considering no matter how much you talk to him and give him advice he still remembers. He will remember that pain and carry that with him” “He has you now though” Felix responded but shaking her head Jane replied, “No it’s not like that. We were sent to watch over him; to ensure he doesn’t have any ideas like leading an army against us or making 100’s more of his kind. Besides I couldn’t give him what he would want in a relationship; body isn’t matured enough…” Alec nodded and sitting down on the settee replied, “Besides Esme was his last one… wolf probably likes mature woman not teenagers” “A bond isn’t like that… it’s almost random; a wolf searches and something clicks with their imprint and then it should be all go from there” Carlisle explained so turning to Esme Jane asked, “Seriously… why didn’t it happen for you?” Esme looked down and shrugging explained, “Gods I felt the pull, like a strong current that I struggled against and maybe it was the wrong decision. I’ll never know but it felt right to not be with him. I just wish he never imprinted on me. I just added to his pain. He was already an quiet and **** person after losing his family due to him killing them and with no guidance he was left alone to face the transitions alone. Then I came and made it all worse: lured him on, then broke up, he was on the run for years, came back starving and instead of trying to help him we broke the imprint and locked him up for 50 years. I just want to do something to fix it.”

“You will never fix it. The scars are too deep to treat; what matters is patching him up and moving forward. Trust me, in the Volturi soo many come to us with nothing and most never completely get over it” Jane responded not looking away from the television screen, “Then how do we help him?” Alec studied the notes and throwing them at Esme replied, “Your notes are pathetic. It’s all digging for information, to find out what you have missed not actually helping him. Half way down he states that he has to “trust the wolf because it’s hurting just as much as he is” you need to treat the wolf to, not just the human.” “And do what?” Rosalie questioned and contemplating it Felix replied, “Let’s give the wolf something to hit. There’s an newborn army triple the size of Victoria’s forming all over America for something and our scouts can’t confirm why it’s happening. We unleash the wolf and he can release some of this stress on their corpses. Mentally the wolf will repair when he meets a new mate.” Jane nodded reading the notes herself and sighing responded, “The human is fucked. It’s up to him if he will recover mentally from this or not. I’m guessing the high dosage of the anti-depressants is down to him burning them off quickly?” Esme nodded before confessing, “I don’t like him taking them but it does calm him down slightly” Jane agreed before saying, “Usually professionals will claim getting an dog or new friends would help but you would probably eat the dog and the recommended friends will just be as bad as you lot!”

“Damian?!” Alice called peering in through her door, “Damian?!” she replied and looking up from his sat position on her bed he turned to her and she could see him fighting back the emotion. She closed the door and joining him on the bed comforted, “Ssshh it’s okay. No one is expecting you to be big and strong” Damian looked down again and taking a breath said, “This night 65 years ago my family was eradicated by the beast I am. Hurting Carlisle… I was just trying to forget what I did” “Look at me. You weren’t to blame. Your family didn’t take enough precautions and Carlisle? His ego is hurt more than anything. We both know you weren’t even putting a quarter of your strength into the tackles” Damian got up and looking out from the window said, “Doesn’t change what happened and my brothers last words to me!” “What were they?” “He said “I was a monster doomed to be alone because I would never stop killing and never understand the meaning of family and love!” it hurt me then but reflecting on it more since… well everything he is right. Esme was more love and she didn’t want me. You are all the family where I don’t feel welcome or even safe to be with and my wolf just hurts everyone” “He can’t tell the future. Hurt is only permanent if you can’t move on” “What to? Become a baker? Become a wrestler? A soldier? It’s all bollocks because I only have one job and that’s to trim the vampire number down” “Good because you can start by helping us take some newborns down!” Felix commented walking in and showing him the video Felix spoke, “Help us and move favours is earned from the Volturi. Trust me… more of them and the more they will leave you alone. When I came they didn’t stop watching me for years. This just helps shut Aro up” Damian looked down and nodding Felix cheered tapping his shoulder but earning a disapproval glare, “Good let’s go and let off some steam.”

“Alec, we’re going!” Felix called out waking with Damian down the stairs, “Should we do anything?” Jane questioned and nodding Damian replied, “Wear something bright. In a rage the wolf just smells vampires and will kill any vampire in its way. Bright colours will allow him to clearly see who is ally and who isn’t!” Alec nodded and clicking his fist Emmett chanted, “Fight! fight! Fight!” “No. It’s not our concern and we have already sent help!” Bella pointed defensively protecting her mate Emmett’s head dropped almost submissively and agreeing Esme said, “I will fight. It’s not fair sending just you!” Damian looked at her and growled, “GO AWAY WILL YOU! I DON’T NEED YOU TO FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE. GO AND PLAY HAPPY FAMILIES WHILST I DO THE ONLY THING THAT I’M MEANT TO DO. KILL VAMPIRES!”

Esme looked down heartbroken but nodding she took an step forward to offer, “Stay safe” and attempting to put her hand on his shoulder he pulled away, “Stop that as well. For someone who didn’t want me, you are soo obsessed with touching me!” Esme tried to reply but grabbing Emmett’s leather jacket Damian said, “NO one play over my save either! Now which way?”
