The Cullen Family History That Wasn’t Featured in the Movies
It all starts with Carlisle Cullen, an empathetic young man, who was willing to help anyone, born in 1640 in London, where he participated in the witch hunting patrols organized by his father, a rigid and paranoid man. Everything was going as usual, until, on one of these expeditions, Carlisle ended up being bitten by a vampire.
The situation led him to run away from home, where, far from his family and with only eternity for company, Carlisle discovered that he could keep his new identity a secret and live discreetly for a long time, since the vampires in the saga do not need blood. human to stay alive, needing only animal blood.
Some time after that, Carlisle encounters the Volturi, living with them until he decides to move to America, where, in 1918, he meets the young Edward Cullen. The meeting took place while Carlisle was working as a doctor and had to attend to Edward, who was about to lose his life to a severe flu. As a result, Carlisle decided to turn Edward into a vampire, adopting him after his mother’s death, telling everyone that the boy was his brother.
Their identity remained that way until Carlisle met Esme. The woman was brought to him after being seriously injured during an attempt to take her own life. Even if he tried to save her through traditional methods, she wouldn’t survive, so he offered to turn her into a vampire.
Even though the offer seemed unrealistic, she accepted. The reason? Carlisle had already operated on Esme when she was a child, where they both lived in another city, and he was introduced to her under another name. After that, the two began to share life together, and in this narrative, Edward came to be described as the couple’s son.
The family grew with the arrival of Rosalie Hale, who was turned into a vampire by Carlisle after being brutally attacked by her ex-fiancé and his friends. She was able to take revenge on those who wronged her, and was even adopted as Edward’s sister.
In addition, Rosalie was responsible for bringing the new member of the family, her future love, Emmett, who almost died while fighting a bear, having his life saved after being turned into a vampire, after Rosalie had taken him to Carlisle. .
But what about Alice and Jasper? The duo became part of the Cullen Family in a different way. That’s because, everything happened through visions. In short, Jasper found Alice when she saw him in a vision of her future and sought him out, the same happened with the Cullens, since, after the couple’s first meeting, Alice had a vision that made it clear that the Cullen clan should be the place where they would find a home, causing them to track down Carlisle and the others, until finally becoming the last adopted brothers of the Cullen family.
