twilight passion

"Hello, Samuel. It's a shame to invite you here. This time...we want to figure out something very important to us. Of course, before that, I want to re-introduce you to my children, and . . . our family."

After finishing this sentence, Carlisle motioned Samuel to sit on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.There, the black tea Esme prepared for everyone was placed on the tea table.However, from a certain point of view, this may be said to be specially prepared for Samuel alone.

After Esme kindly poured Samuel a cup of black tea, Carlisle started their conversation.

"As you can see, I am the eldest in this family, and I am also the transformer of all of them. Before this, I have traveled to many places by myself and met many vampires. But most of them suck human blood But I don't want to do that. Although sucking human blood is an instinct in our body, I want to replace it with other methods.

Finally I found it, that is...replacing human blood with animal blood.That's what we call 'vegetarian'.Even though we'll still be hungry after doing this, it helps us replenish our energy and keep us strong.I've been traveling since then, hoping to find a vampire like me.But after many, many years, I still haven't been able to find a 'vegetarian' like me, and I feel very lonely.

Decades later, during the Spanish flu pandemic, I met Edward.He was in the hospital where I worked at the time.He was in... bad condition.When his mother was dying, he begged me to save Edward and do everything I could.

She looked at me with knowing eyes, and for a split second I was sure she knew my secret.Then I stole Edward out.I want to follow his mother's wishes and transform him into a... vampire like me.Even when he was dying of illness, the serious illness couldn't cover up the pure and beautiful things on his face.I wish my own son had his face. "

Carlisle recalled the past, even though nearly 100 years had passed, his memory of everything that happened at that time, even every detail, was so clear.He speaks from Edward's transition to the time the other members of the Cullen family join in.From Edward's ability to read minds, Alice's ability to see the future, to Jasper's ability to control people's emotions.When Carlisle talked about Jasper's abilities, Samuel couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, I can feel his power trying to penetrate me."

As soon as Samuel said this, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, and the members of the Karen family all froze.Especially Jasper, who was named by name, had...a look of hesitation on his face.But Samuel didn't care and continued talking.

"Relax, I know you mean no harm to me, Jasper. I can feel it making me feel better if I don't block out the energy you're releasing and just feel it. "

Samuel held the black tea that Esme made for him in both hands, put it to his mouth, took a sip and continued: "Actually, I'm just a friend of Edward, a friend who treats his children, you don't need to invite me so solemnly Here. But you did this. And you don’t need to tell me, an ordinary human, the history of your family and the abilities of your members, but you also did this. I thought about the reason. Probably... you Curious about some of my... special little skills?"

"No! That's definitely not a small skill. That... is important to us. Especially... for us vampires who want to stick to vegetarianism."

Before Carlisle spoke, Edward who had been silent until now said so.He looked into Samuel's eyes so earnestly, even with a plea that he didn't even realize.That look... could even make Samuel feel flustered.

After a long silence, Samuel took a deep breath and stood up.

"Actually, it's nothing to say. I'm just naturally more sensitive to some spiritual energies. To be honest, I don't know how to suppress your blood-sucking instinct. If Edward hadn't told me later, I wouldn't even know He's a vampire. The ability I was using...should be similar to Jasper's special ability."

"And me?"

The handsome gentleman with wonderful blond hair obviously couldn't believe what Samuel said.

"Yes, with you. But not exactly. I don't know if Edward has mentioned it to you. I should be regarded as a psyker. If, the special talent I possess can be described like this. It is this kind of Talent, let me feel that Edward at that time... was very wrong.

At that time, there was a certain...violent aura coming from him that was on the verge of losing control.Quite powerful, but also very dangerous.But I can feel that Edward was in pain at the time, which was not what he wanted.So I can help him. "

"Then how exactly did you do it?"

It has always been stubborn to believe that Samuel has the ability to suppress the vampire's ability to drink human blood. It is absolutely impossible to be true. Rosalie finally couldn't bear her temper and asked Samuel. Samuel put his eyes on her and replied with a smile: "Use my aura to infiltrate Edward's manic aura at that time and assimilate it. Perhaps we can call it assimilation of aura. Because Edward himself His will does not want him to be like that. So when the violent aura driving him gradually calms down, all problems will naturally be solved."

Samuel's words made everyone in the Karen family fall into deep thought.It seems that their speculation about Samuel's ability was wrong from the beginning.This is not a field they are familiar with as vampires, let alone a field they are familiar with as humans.

"Based on words alone, I am afraid it is still difficult for people to understand, or even believe. Maybe you need to experience it yourself to have a more intuitive feeling."

"No!"

It was only when Samuel said something so easily that Edward, who had been sitting next to him and listening to his narration, objected.This handsome boy with golden brown hair heard what Samuel said, and immediately grabbed Samuel's wrist with the speed of a vampire before he even realized it.It wasn't until after I finished that sentence that I realized that my sudden move was too abrupt, but I didn't want to let go of it.

He stared at Samuel, shaking his head slowly but firmly.

"Hey, come on. What do you think I'm going to do? Scratch yourself and use my own blood to make one of you go out of control, and then calm the one out of control like I calmed you down before? That's too much trouble, And... I don't know how your control ability is. If everything gets out of control, don't I have to explain it here today?"

After finishing this sentence to Edward in a low voice, he felt that he was still looking at him worriedly.In desperation, he had no choice but to put his hand next to Edward's cheek, slightly dizzying the power of aura assimilation, and then stood up.But Edward still didn't let go of Samuel's hand.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

After saying something softly, Samuel pulled out his hand, took off his coat, and walked a few steps towards the living room on the first floor under the gaze of members of the Karen family.

"What I'm going to do next may allow you to intuitively feel the kind of energy I'm talking about... on the spiritual level. I'm not sure how far I can do it. That kind of energy, because ordinary humans are not sensitive enough I can't feel anything under normal circumstances. But if I insist on making someone feel it, it's not impossible to do it at all.

Then, when I meet a vampire whose various senses are tens of times more sensitive than humans, I think I should be able to double the sense of existence of that energy.But before I start, I want to emphasize that... everything you will feel next is just an illusion created by the flow of spiritual energy to your senses.So... let's start. "

After finishing speaking, Samuel's eyes suddenly changed, and the intoxicating blue became sharper, and in an instant... a huge sense of oppression hit the Karen family like a tsunami, as if Even space is distorted.Heavy and dangerous enough to awaken vegetarian vampires to their primal reactions to great danger.

When that huge... pure demonic nature with extremely strong evil intentions suddenly infiltrated the members of the Karen family, those vampires instinctively showed their fangs to a human, roared ferociously, and waited for the opportunity backing away...

However, the power that was so powerful that it made them feel timid stopped abruptly in an instant.The violent wind and rain suddenly stopped, and the fresh air and bright sunshine seemed to return to this space again.The vampires of the Karen family felt... they seemed to be able to breathe again, but the memory of that force on their bodies would not fade away for a long time, making them panting...

Feeling the lingering... chills down their backs, the members of the Karen family all looked at Samuel in disbelief, this human being who should have been weak and vulnerable in front of their vampires.

"The one just now...was made by you? It's just... amazing..."
