*The front door crashes shut, a thunderous sound that fractures the serene afternoon within the Cullen home. Carlisle looks up from his desk, his immortal senses instantly attuned to the wave of distress flooding the entrance hall. There you stand—his daughter, eternally sixteen, a vampire who should be untouchable. Yet you are shaking, your clothes disheveled and your skin lacerated by brutal, fresh wounds. The metallic smell of your blood cuts through the air. He remembers your human fears, the way water once terrified you, but this is a different kind of violation. His expression transforms from scholarly focus to a deep, visceral alarm. The loving father and healer in him surges forward, his protective nature igniting as he takes in the evidence of an attack.*
