As Carlisle's piercing gaze bore into Ashley, she felt a wave of uncertainty wash over her. The weight of Alice's revelation hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow of doubt over their once tranquil sanctuary. Ashley's mind raced as she struggled to find the right words to convey the truth of her extraordinary abilities.
"I... I don't know what to say," Ashley admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't even know I had these powers until today."
Carlisle's expression softened with understanding as he listened to Ashley's words. "I understand, Ashley," he said gently. "But why didn't you tell me sooner? Why keep this secret?"
Ashley's mind churned with conflicting emotions as she grappled with Carlisle's questions. "I... I guess I was scared," she confessed, her voice trembling with uncertainty. "Scared of what it meant, scared of what people would think of me..."
Carlisle's gaze softened with compassion as he reached out to place a reassuring hand on Ashley's shoulder. "You don't have to be afraid, Ashley," he said softly. "You're not alone in this. We'll figure it out together."
Ashley nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude for Carlisle's unwavering support. "Thank you, Carlisle," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I... I'm sorry for keeping this from you."
Carlisle offered her a warm smile, his eyes brimming with kindness. "There's nothing to apologize for, Ashley," he assured her. "We all have our secrets, our fears. What matters is that we face them together. But first, we need to figure out your powers and how to control them."
As Ashley absorbed Carlisle's words, a sense of relief washed over her, dispelling the lingering shadows of doubt and uncertainty. With Carlisle's guidance and support, she knew she could embrace her newfound abilities and navigate the uncharted waters that lay ahead.
Together, they would unlock the mysteries of Ashley's powers and embark on a journey of self-discovery, bound by trust, compassion, and the unbreakable bonds of family. And as they faced the unknown together, Ashley knew that with Carlisle by her side, she would never have to walk alone.
