[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

I don't know how long it took, the faint light pierced the darkness in front of her eyes, and Elizabeth woke up with a splitting headache, her throat hurt like a fire.

She struggled to sit up, and found that she was placed on a big bed, because one wall was completely replaced with a whole piece of glass, the whole room was very bright and spacious, the furniture and carpets were all white in various shades, this place was very strange.

"Elizabeth?" A female voice rang in her ear, Elizabeth sat up in panic, her hands were powerlessly folded on her chest to protect herself, her eyes were frightened to search for the speaker.

"It's me, Bella, remember? You're safe Elizabeth, don't be afraid." A familiar face came into view, Elizabeth gasped, it was Bella.

"J... cough cough, Jia... Carrie, cough cough." Elizabeth grabbed Bella's wrist.

Bella's gentle eyes were full of regret, and she didn't mind Elizabeth holding her in pain. "Sorry, Lisa, we were late. Alice set off as soon as she saw us, but she didn't make it in time..." Elizabeth could not Understand her words, is Carrie dead?She was so excited that she wanted to shout, what is going on?

"Oh, Elizabeth, that girl is not dead, she was just taken away, we still have a chance to get her back." A brisk voice suddenly sounded, and a thin and elf-like girl walked in lightly from the door, her short black hair Fa has his own ideas and generally points in different directions. Elizabeth and Bella looked at her together.

"I'm Alice, Alice Cullen." She sat down on the edge of the bed and put her hand on Bella's shoulder, and Elizabeth noticed that she also had bright yellow eyes.

"Tell... tell me... the truth!" Elizabeth said bluntly, her throat hurt like a devil was throwing a party inside, she didn't want to go around in circles, these people in front of them looked like good people, at least they gave her a little Make a bed, and haven't strangled her neck yet.

Alice sighed a little, she and Bella exchanged a veiled look, and then said soothingly, "Would you like to meet my other family members? We won't hurt you, it's just that this matter is not so simple , and perhaps some parts are unacceptable.”

"I just need the truth." Elizabeth said seriously.

Bella helped Elizabeth out of bed, and Elizabeth felt her limbs, all right, just a little sore - bruises, of course.

Her clothes were changed, thin cotton dress, light blue, good texture.

"Bella changed your clothes, we think it would be better for someone you know to do it." Alice noticed Elizabeth's expression.

They led Elizabeth to the door, and Bella seemed to feel Elizabeth's nervousness, and she supported her weakly.

Alice opened the door for them. They were on the second floor. The structure of the whole house was exquisite. Elizabeth quickly assessed, but it was strange that the owner of the house didn't seem to pay attention to privacy—too much glass.

Walking down a magnificent spiral staircase, Elizabeth found that the living room was very bright and spacious. Perhaps there should have been several rooms here, but most of the walls had been opened to form a particularly spacious space.One wall of the house was completely replaced with a whole piece of glass, and beyond the shade of cedar trees, a wide river was fully exposed on the rolling grass.

On the left side of the door, a huge grand piano was placed on a raised part of the floor. Edward was sitting on the piano bench, and he immediately looked in Bella's direction.

A pair of beautiful men and women stood in front of the piano, a handsome blond man, his temperament was mature and stable, but he looked very young, his expression was gentle and he was holding the hand of a beautiful woman, maybe his wife——she Small and round, with a heart-shaped face and wavy soft caramel-colored hair, he looks very gentle.

Standing beside the sofa in the center of the living room was another handsome couple, a big boy with curly black hair and an innocent handsomeness, he looked like a burly weightlifter, and the girl next to him was tall and tall, Very, very beautiful, with a graceful figure like a goddess sculpture by Michelangelo, she has golden waist-length hair that hangs gracefully behind her back.

There was also a boy who stood the furthest away, with a serious expression. He was taller and thinner than the black-haired boy, but he was also very strong. He had good-looking blond hair. Alice walked towards him lightly.

It's just that each of them has a kind of sickly pale skin, and a pair of bright yellow eyes.

Elizabeth recalled that the person she saw before she lost consciousness should be the man standing by the piano at the moment.

"Hello, Elizabeth, nice to meet you. I'm Carlisle, Carlisle Cullen, maybe Angela has introduced some information about our family to you?"

Dr. Karen, Elizabeth knew who they were, and Angela had introduced this big family to Elizabeth.Now they were finally seated. The woman next to Dr. Cullen should be his wife Esme, the couple next to the sofa should be Emmett and Rosalie, and the boy standing far away should be Jasper.

"Hello, Dr. Cullen." Elizabeth swallowed hard, her throat still hurt, but she didn't want to be rude. "Thank you very much for saving me, but I need to know what's going on."

"Please sit down, Elizabeth, I'm Esme Cullen, you're not feeling well, are you?" said the beautiful woman next to Carlisle, her expression reminded Elizabeth of her dead mother.

"Please call me Carlisle," Carlisle looked at Elizabeth's neck worriedly. Bella accompanied Elizabeth to sit down on the couch in the living room. Elizabeth noticed that the children of the Karen family had all stood together. They winked at each other and whispered to each other.

"Please don't be afraid of our identities, Elizabeth, in fact... we are vampires." Carlisle said sincerely.

Oh

vampire.

Elizabeth was surprised to find that she was not very surprised by this result. Perhaps she had a keen premonition, and she was not a staunch materialist—there was a line of blood-red writing on her left arm.

"... Vampires, um, but you are different from the previous batch, aren't you?" Elizabeth asked softly, "Your eyes are different in color."

"Yes," Carlisle replied. "Our recipes are different, we lean towards animal blood.

Great, thought Elizabeth, vegetarian vampire, Bravo.

"Those vampires who hurt you, they came to recruit one of our enemies—Victoria, a red-haired woman." Carlisle continued, "Victoria's partner once hurt Bella, so we killed him , she is here for revenge, we have been tracking her, we never thought they would run into you."

So it's mostly down to Elizabeth's bad luck, which is fine.

She sighed, pondered for a while, and then asked suddenly: "They took Carrie away, saying that she would become some kind of Andre's sister, and Alice said that there was still a chance to save her. What do you mean?"

Carlisle's expression became a little sad. He said, "Carrie has some talents, so Cortelia wants to transform her into a vampire and use it for her."

"Oh, no." Elizabeth's mind went blank, Carrie's life was hard enough, why should this poor girl suffer.

"She hasn't been transformed yet. They won't transform her until she learns to be obedient." Edward interrupted suddenly.

Elizabeth wasn't comforted, but she knew it was useless to yell and argue.

"So now, what are you going to do with me, I guess your identities are kept secret, aren't you?" Elizabeth asked after a precious moment of silence.

"We do have strict laws, Elizabeth, and we are sorry to have caused you and your friends to suffer, but you must know that once they discover our world, ordinary people are left with only two options: die or convert. But It's strange that Cortelia wants you very much, and it will put your future in danger." Carlisle replied, "The only way now may be to convert you."

"You want to turn me into a vampire now?" Elizabeth was full of reluctance, "I'm only 16 years old this year, no!"

There were several pleasant laughs from the small group of Karen's children.

"There is a line of writing on your arm, what does that mean?" Bella who had been silent all this time asked suddenly, "There is still a deep pinch mark on your wrist, did Victoria and the others do it?"

Elizabeth reflexively remembered something about her soul mate, which made her very uncomfortable. Ever since she knew the result, she had been trying not to think about it.

"Those words mean something, Carlisle," Edward exclaimed, "and she's no ordinary 'Treasure belongs to the Eternal King of Mycenae' Those words are clues to her soul mate!"

"Soul mate?" Carlisle's voice was full of surprise, "Do you think that would be—"

"It's very possible, otherwise why does Cordelia want her all the time?" A voice unfamiliar to Elizabeth sounded, it was Jasper.

"Alice!" Suddenly someone called Alice's name, and Elizabeth saw the little girl's eyes suddenly go blank, with a dazed expression.

"...it's the Volturi," Edward said gravely. "Caius, it's him. Alice saw it when I decided to send her to Volterra."

This was great news. The Karens looked at each other, and Elizabeth felt that Bella's hand on her shoulder, which had been gently on her shoulders, became stiff all of a sudden.
