Twilight Love

Sure enough, although Esme was happy that Edward was invited to the ball, Carlisle frowned and said that he was not relieved that Edward went to the party alone.

His adopted son has only been converted into a vampire for more than [-] years. Although in recent years, he has restrained his thirst for blood a lot after training, but he has never stayed in a crowded place for a long time. It is really uncomfortable for him. rest assured.

"I'm sorry my child, maybe you can tactfully tell the other party that you have something to do or are unwell tomorrow night and can't accompany him to the prom. I believe your new friend will not be angry."

Carlisle is also sorry, he knows Edward is so lonely, Sergeant Barnes is a lively lad, if it weren't for the "racial" difference between them, he would be very happy that Edward made a new friend, but now for everyone For the sake of thinking, rejection is the best way.

Esme also shook Edward's hand regretfully, just now she even thought about what style of clothes to match with Edward.

Edward patted her shoulder reassuringly.

Although disappointed, he knew that Carlisle's decision was good for everyone.

So he decided to go to Barnes's house two hours early on the weekend night to let him know.

"Man, how do you know my house is here?"

Bucky looked at Edward outside the door in surprise, and immediately turned sideways to let him in.

How did the other party know where his home was.

Edward had a bad heart, he was too reckless, so he just followed the other party's scent, after thinking for a while, he said dryly: "During the last chat, you told me, do you still remember?" ?”

did i tell him

The big-hearted young man decided to ignore this question, led the other party to sit on the sofa, poured a glass of water and handed it over.

His family went to dinner at his aunt's on the other street tonight, and he was alone.

"Why did you come here so early? Didn't you make an appointment to meet at the square at eight o'clock?" Bucky sat on the chair opposite him and teased, "Could it be that you don't know where the square is?"

Stupid you, I can even find your home, don't you know where is a symbolic big square in Brooklyn?Edward secretly slandered his stomach before he remembered what was going on tonight.

"Sorry, Bucky, I might not be able to make it tonight."

Edward wriggled his fingers anxiously, afraid that his new friend would be angry.

"What did you call me?"

Bucky frowned. Only Steve and his family members or people close to him would call him Bucky by that name, and he was sure that he would never tell him such a childish nickname when chatting with the other party.

God, I have too many flaws!Edward instantly had the urge to hug his head. Hasn't he been in contact with humans for ten years?Had he lost much of his common sense?

But Edward immediately reacted: "Sorry, I overheard Mr. Rogers mentioning your name."

"Is that so?" Bucky questioned for a while and suddenly shouted: "Wait, what did you just say, you can't go to the dance tonight?"

Watching the other party turn from shock to disappointment, and then to the expression of aggrieved and puzzled, Edward felt an inexplicable sense of guilt for hurting the little animal.

"Yes... because—"

I'm an inexperienced vampire with no control over myself I don't want to hurt you my friend what the hell can tell you that? !

Seeing that pitiful little expression, Edward felt that his brain was convulsed again.

"Because I can't dance at all!"

After holding back for a long time, Edward, the words about being unwell have long been forgotten.

Forgive me, Carlyle, I cannot refuse him!

"Hahaha, what am I doing!"

Bucky laughed, and patted his knee exaggeratedly.

In fact, Edward didn't lie. When he was still alive, he didn't have any dances that allowed him to learn. After becoming a vampire, the only communication partner was Carlisle. Then Esme joined them a few years ago. The first-time supporter of the boy will teach him a lot of knowledge, but he never thought that the boy would have the chance to attend the prom one day.

"Come on boy! There's still time, let brother James teach you how to dance!"

As he spoke, Bucky walked to the phonograph at the side, turned on the music, and then came to the sofa and took Edward's hand and pulled him up.

Pleasant music sounded, and Barnes took Edward to the spacious hall, held his hand and danced the most popular swing dance at the moment.

The dance steps are very simple, and the steps are swaying from side to side.

The light music and Bucky's smile made Edward feel that everything around him became ethereal and unreal.

He imitated Bucky's appearance, swaying his body, but he also looked good.

"Look, you are learning quickly, don't worry, everyone likes this dance, it is simple and easy to learn, you will become the focus of the dance."

Edward smiled.

He likes this new friend.

Oh, Carlyle, you will forgive me!I don't want to turn him down.

I can't say no to him.

-

Seeing that it was almost time, Bucky changed into his military uniform and greeted Edward to go out.

"Girls like this," Barnes patted his uniform. "They like to hear you talk about your adventures in the army, but you can't always talk about the army."

Bucky naturally put his hands on Edward's shoulders and taught him how to pick up girls. After all, this shy-looking boy seemed completely inexperienced.

Inevitably, it broke Bucky's heart.

I'm not a soldier, Edward thought, and he was still glad.

Is it because of the upcoming prom?

Come on, everything is not as important as the smile of the big boy in front of him.

It was only when he got to the ball that Edward realized he had overestimated his self-control.

It just sucks.

There were a lot of people in the auditorium, almost all the young people in Brooklyn gathered together, and the air was filled with the aroma of blood emanating from human veins.

"Relax, Edward, you look like you're doing this for the first time."

Bucky seemed to sense the unease from his partner, thinking he was just too nervous.

"Actually, you're right, it's my first time here."

Edward adjusted his state without looking at the other party.

Is it too late to run now?

The answer is obviously no. After finding the target, Bucky pulled him to the front of the two ladies.

Bucky's invites are two young girls of 20 years old, the girl named Lucy seems very satisfied with the Edward that Barnes brought, blushing and whispering to her female companion, is it giggling , and Barnes began to court the two girls.

Edward was a little embarrassed, he couldn't concentrate, his mind was buzzing, the vampire's unique sensitive hearing and sense of smell made him feel uncomfortable in the living crowd, everything was magnified dozens of times, plus his talent → Mind reading filled his brain with various sounds, coupled with loud music and dazzling lights, he had an urge to lose control.

Just when he felt that he was about to reach the limit and couldn't restrain himself, Bucky gave him a hand.

"Well, this is Lucy, Edward, invite this lady to dance with me."

Bucky winked mischievously at him, and led his girlfriend, Caris, onto the dance floor first.

It wasn't until Edward realized that the music was already playing.

Lucy took the initiative to lead him to the center of the dance floor, and Edward couldn't refuse, but he was a little at a loss. He was looking at Babaki, and he and his girlfriend had already forgotten about himself.

When the girl approached him, she exuded a faint scent of gardenia...not perfume, but the sweet smell of blood.

Let's leave immediately after dancing this dance with this lady, he thought to himself, although he can still restrain himself now, the environment here is really not good.Bucky was explaining another day, saying that he was unwell that night, and he would understand him.

His dance partner seemed very interested in him and always tried to lead the conversation, but Edward's reaction was not satisfactory. In the end, the dance partner thoughtfully asked him if he was not used to this kind of occasion, would he like to go outside for a walk?

It couldn't be better.

Watching the two leave the venue, Bucky was a little worried, because Edward's face didn't look very good.

But his little girlfriend said that it's time for a date, and you should focus on the person in front of you.

Well, there shouldn't be any problem, maybe Edward is just too shy.

maybe……

The second floor of the ballroom is a tea restaurant, but at this time, except for the drowsy white-haired old lady on the cashier counter, even the waiting students hide in the back kitchen to be lazy, and the open-air balcony is a A very good place for stargazing, suitable for young people to enjoy the moon and talk about love.

"feel better now?"

Lucy asked.

"Yes, the air here is much better..." The sweet smell of blood was less pungent.

The girl pretended to be shy and smiled. It is undeniable that this young man with a fresh face is very satisfying to her, and his gestures are indescribably elegant.

And Edward saw the enthusiasm of American girls for the first time——

Out of control!When the girl approached him and tried to put her hands on his chest, he seemed to be driven by instinct, opened his mouth and showed his fangs——

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The second floor was full of screams from the cashier's old lady, which attracted the clerk hiding in the kitchen. It seemed that someone on the dance floor downstairs heard the sound and ran upstairs. The old lady was scared out of control, and people only saw one The girl fell on the balcony with a small bloodstain on her shoulder, and she was in chaos for a while.

People didn't know what happened, so they ran up to check on the girl's condition. Fortunately, her clothes were scratched, her flesh was torn, and she was just unconscious.

Someone got hurt, no one cared about the dance, and everyone gathered on the second floor, wondering what happened.

Under the intermittent description of the only eyewitness → the old lady, everyone roughly sorted out the whole story.

When the two young men were making love on the balcony, suddenly a beast jumped out of nowhere and rushed towards them. The boy seemed to wrestle with each other, and finally fell off the balcony together.The girl fainted from fright.

The old lady's remarks made people feel absurd. This is the city center, not the wilderness. How could there be large beasts as tall as people haunting them?And someone went to check, and there was no one under the balcony at all.

"So what took Edward away?" Bucky, who was accompanying Carliss to check on Lucy's injuries, asked anxiously.

"By God, I did see that guy wrestle and fall down with that black guy trying to save that girl!"

The old lady shouted excitedly.

Everyone didn't have the time to discuss whether the old lady was delusional or really believed her. They only knew that one of the two parties was missing now, and everyone thought it was better to go nearby to check.

Bucky also hurriedly followed to find someone.

Please don't let anything happen...

Carlisle stood on the tall water tower next to the venue and looked at the people searching on the ground. He took a deep breath and looked back at Edward who fell to the ground.

When he found out, Edward knew that his children had gone to the prom when he was not at home tonight.Worried, he still decided to take a look. Sure enough, when he was hiding in the dark and observing, he saw that Edward couldn't resist the temptation of blood and wanted to attack the girl. At the critical moment, Carlisle flew over. Since his back was facing the girl, Before the other party realized what was going on, he was knocked unconscious by a knife in his hand. The wound on the girl's shoulder was cut open by Edward's nails because he couldn't control the strength in his hand. Carlisle pulled the fainted girl away from Edward's hand , It took a lot of effort to control the young and violent vampire, and he also took the opportunity to drag Edward away from the balcony.

After hearing the noise, the old lady with presbyopia got up from the cash register and took a look.The balcony itself was not well lit. At such a distance, it happened that Carlisle was wearing a black cloak. He mistook him for a large ferocious beast, and saw two figures who seemed to be fighting. previous misunderstandings.

But it also prevents their identities from being exposed to others.

It's not too bad, and there's room for redemption.

"Calm down?"

Seeing that Edward's originally bloodshot eyes turned into normal amber, he knew that he had restrained the mania in his body.

Edward seemed to be quite frightened by himself, he was trembling all over, sucking in big mouthfuls of air, although vampires didn't need to breathe at all.

"Go back, I will give you the aftermath, until I go home, you must stay in your room and you can't leave or see anyone!"

Carlisle said roughly to his adopted son.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Edward hugged his head in pain and curled up into a ball.

Carlisle also felt distressed seeing the other party's uncomfortable appearance, but it was not the time yet. He had to let Edward realize his mistakes. same as people. "Go back, Esme is very worried about you, my child, maybe you are too hasty, this time you are really wrong."

At this time, footsteps came from the alley, as if someone had run out.

It was Bucky, he was anxiously calling Edward's name.

The distance between them on the ground was very high, but the vampire's sensitive hearing still allowed them to hear clearly.

Carlisle shook his head and almost sighed——

"Go ahead and say goodbye to him."

Edward was stunned for a while, and then realized immediately.

say goodbye

It means that Carlisle will give up his current residence and move to another place to live.
