Hi 𫶠So I was thinking , you know how there was a cure for vampirism in "The Vampire Diaries" , if I remember correctly ? What if something like that existed in Twilight?
Who do you think would take it who would choose to be human again and that means eventually die ? I feel Carlisle might consider it but at the same time part of me believes heâd want to continue serving humanity indefinitely .
And Edward probably would have taken it before meeting Bella but now I am not so sure. As for Bella I canât imagine her taking it though if Edward chose to , would she? She did say in BDthat she doesnât want to live without him but she also loves being a vampire and after everything she went through to become one i canât quite see her giving it up.
Or if Carlisle chose to take it do you think the others would simply follow him ?
I am a bit torn and keep going back and forth on this. What do you think ?
This is one of my favorite what if?s and honestly is the only way I think you can really have a 'happy ending' in a vampire romance. Like, sure, Bella's happy being a vampire but a) she's been a vampire for three and a half months. She hasn't felt the weight of eternity yet and b) that doesn't change how everyone else feels about it. "She's changed their perspective!" has she? Witnessing a happy vampire three months in doesn't undo decades or centuries of actual experience.
Anyway, I always felt like the James bite would have been a really cool way to introduce a cure. It's sort of like an inoculation: Bella's been exposed to venom but did not turn. Maybe that makes her immune to venom. Maybe she can't be turned. But maybe her blood could be used to create a cure.
Of course, in this scenario Bella had to be human. In which case, Edward's answer is 100% YES.
If the cure comes from somewhere else (children of the moon are immune to venom, I think? Maybe there's something to work with there?), and it's post-BD, I think Edward and Bella stay vampires. I don't think Renesmee, as a hybrid, can be cured. She was born whatever she is. Likewise I don't think she can be turned into a full vampire. She is what she is. She's immortal, so E/B stay immortal with her (and Bella [allegedly] loves it anyway).
Alice and Jasper have no interest in being human, IMO. Alice doesn't remember it, so why would she want to go back to something that would be alien and confusing to her? Jasper might appreciate not feeling everyone's emotions all the time, but I don't think he has the moral hang-ups about vampirism that Edward and Carlisle do. He feels bad about killing only because of his gift, not because he thinks being a vampire is inherently bad or sinful. And Alice only knows vampire life, so he shrugs and stays a vampire with her, offering to protect any of the others who opt to become human for the rest of their mortal lives.
Rosalie and Emmett become human. I don't think Emmett minds being a vampire at all, but Rosalie wants humanity (or at least thinks she does) and Emmett is happy to do whatever to make his angel happy. They probably have some children. And for the record I do think Rosalie really does want it. I see some people think she'll be horrified when she ages and loses her beauty but I think she knows herself well enough now that she'll be thrilled with that gray hair. Her dream is BEING old with Emmett by her side and watching their grandchildren, after all.
Esme and Carlisle are trickier. Like you said, he may think he can help more people as an immortal than he could with a finite lifespan. I could see him going either way. So I think it comes down to Esme. What does she want? Does she want to be human and have biological children with Carlisle? Does she want to stay a vampire and watch over Rosalie and Emmett? I think in the end they take it. I think deep down Carlisle wants to be human as much as Edward and Rosalie does, he's just found a more productive way to cope with it than they have. But Esme knows, and Esme might even say, "let's do it!" knowing HE wants it but is too caught up in the "should I keep being a doctor forever???" to make the call himself.
