twilight passion

"You punched that werewolf?"

"And kicked twice."

Samuel said angrily, but Edward seemed to be in a good mood and hugged him horizontally. Emma's eyes widened when she saw it, and she quickly shouted: "Bastard! Put my brother down! ", chasing after Edward while hugging his own doll Seid.This time, Emma didn't trip herself because she was running too fast, and even more heroically followed Edward all the way to his silver car, panting.

"Bad vampire! Don't put my brother in the front row! He's going to sit in the back with me! Back!"

The cute blond princess shouted angrily, which made Edward, who had been waiting all morning alone at the border of the Quileute Reserve, feel even better.Since Samuel and Emma came out of the reserved area ahead of time, if they wanted to go to Carlisle's clinic to look at the injury on his hand, there should still be time.But Samuel insisted on sending Emma to the airport before letting Edward take him to the clinic in Carlisle.

Seeing that Samuel insisted on this, even though Edward was impatient, he had to send Samuel and Emma to the airport in Port Angel first.

After a short but enjoyable weekend with Emma, ​​Samuel finally got to say goodbye to his baby sister.Accompanied by Edward, Samuel helped Emma complete the check-in procedures, and sat with her in the airport lobby, enjoying the last time before separation.

"Brother, I don't like sister Emily, Emma wants to hate her."

Hearing Emma frowned and said so while shaking her legs, Samuel turned his head funny, helped Emma adjust the bowknot headband slightly and said, "Yes, but Emma wants to tell brother , why do you hate her?"

"Because Sister Emily stole Sister Lear's boyfriend. I like Sister Lear, but I don't want to hate Big Dog, so I want to hate Sister Emily."

Indeed, as Samuel said, Emma is a child who is very sensitive to people's mood swings and emotions.Since she can tell who loves the other more and who loves the less in a pair of lovers, she can naturally distinguish these trivial things from the emotion when Lear looks at Sam and Emily .

Thus, even if Lear said nothing to Emma, ​​she would know the approximate truth about the facts.

Samuel, who understood this deeply, kissed Emma's forehead and said, "You can like someone for no reason, and you can hate someone for no reason. But, you can't just because you like someone It is not fair to others. If there is a chance next time, Emma can have more contact with Emily, and then use her own heart to judge whether she will really let her You're disgusted. Would Emma give it a try?"

After listening to Samuel's words, Emma nodded ignorantly, and then smiled sweetly at Samuel: "Emma will!"

After saying this, the little girl kissed Samuel on the cheek very hard, and then, led by the airport staff, she jumped to the airport boarding gate, and she didn't forget to jump up and greet Samuel He waved his hand, and made a face to Edward unabashedly, which made Edward smile helplessly.

"You are a competent and good brother."

When Emma's figure disappeared at the boarding gate, Edward smiled and said this, which made Samuel exhale: "She is only nine years old now, but I am actually very afraid that she will arrive after a few years During the rebellious period, do you want to quarrel with me all day long?"

"What about you? Have you ever had a rebellious period, Samuel?"

"Yeah, when I was 12 I sent a cockroach to my mom who left us both. According to the spirit I put on the envelope, she was pretty freaked out."

Hearing what Samuel said, Edward couldn't help laughing after being stunned for a moment. In the crowded airport, Edward put his hand under Samuel's coat and put his arms around his waist. Then he supported him with a little force, and asked seemingly casually: "Can I continue walking?"

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Edward still saw that Samuel's foot that kicked Sam's chest fiercely seemed to be twisted.It's just that I didn't say it because of Emma's presence.Knowing that he would never be able to hide it from Edward, Samuel nodded helplessly: "I can still go, but I'm just worried that it will swell up tomorrow."

"No, I'll take you to Carlisle."

As he spoke, Edward half hugged and half supported Samuel and brought Samuel to the airport parking garage.The one-hour journey from Port Angel to Fox Town actually took him 10 minutes to drive there.When he reversed directly into the parking space at the speed of a racing car, the loud brake sound alarmed Sergeant Swan who had just come out of the hospital.

The sheriff who is very responsible and loved in the small town, but unable to communicate with his daughter Bella, who grew up not by his side, came to the hospital on this weekend night to get a medical treatment in the small town a while ago. The autopsy report on the corpse found outside the town also came to see his old friend Carlisle, but he saw the son of the Karen family backing into the parking space at such an exaggerated speed, so he immediately wanted to knock on the car door to teach him a lesson Take a look at this kid.

However, this young man named Edward, who was always mentioned by his daughter, quickly walked to the side of the passenger seat after stopping the car, opened the door, and took out a black-haired man from the car. boy.

Wait a minute... boy...?

Sergeant Swan glanced at Edward uncertainly, but he could only see the back of the black-haired boy.Shrugging, he walked back to his old police car.

"Carlisle! Carlisle, Samuel's sprained his foot."

Samuel never imagined that Edward would rush into the small hospital where Carlisle worked with his arms in his arms, and kept asking Edward to put him down, but this vampire lover, who always respected his views, was And heeded his wish.

Edward, who soon found Carlisle in this small hospital, looked at his "father" nervously, and finally got "Samuel's injury is not serious, it's just a slight sprain, and it will heal in a few days." Alright" After this conclusion, I really breathed a sigh of relief.

When only the two of them and the fluorescent light were left in the emergency room, Edward sat on the bed where Samuel was lying, pulled up Samuel's right hand that had been smeared by Carlisle, and gently placed it on the bed. own palm.

"Although I felt very excited when you said that sentence. But... But you really shouldn't hit a werewolf with your fist, even if he was only in human form at that time."

"I thought I should be strong enough."

Hearing this sentence, Edward was obviously worried and angry, but he still smiled helplessly.

"If you are only measured by a human standard, maybe you can be considered... strong." When he said that word, Edward's expression became... very weird, as if he wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold back generally.

"However, when you meet werewolves or vampires, I hope you still don't feel that you are strong enough... it will be better."

Although he agreed with Edward's words, Samuel still felt in a bad mood, and even turned his head not wanting to hear Edward's continuation.

Seeing that Samuel didn't want to talk, Edward also sat beside him and guarded him in good temper, watching Samuel's side face with trembling eyelashes until he wanted to speak.Sure enough, after a long time, Samuel finally turned his head to look at Edward and asked, "You vampires...do you have any branded people, or...soul mates."

Branded person?soul mate?

The sudden strange vocabulary made Edward wonder what happened.But...he was sure that something must have happened in the Quileute Reserve today that would make Samuel feel uneasy.However, seeing that Edward hesitated and couldn't think of what to say, Samuel didn't want to continue this topic. He picked up the coat next to the simple bed, and wanted to get out of bed and walk out of this small room. The hospital in the town.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a tingling pain coming from his ankles.Seeing that Samuel was about to fall, Edward who was beside him picked him up very quickly, and put him back on the bed while holding him horizontally, and... the whole person maintained this posture Said above Samuel: "Tell me, tell me what's going on in your head right now."

Edward put his knees on the bed, maintaining that confinement posture, which made Samuel seem to be curled up in his arms, even covering most of the light from the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling.

"You...you can't ask me to tell you everything in my head."

"But I think what you're thinking about right now will damage our relationship and drive us apart. So, I want you to speak up."

As he spoke, Edward kissed Samuel's eyelashes, glanced at the endlessly quiet, pure white emergency room, and adjusted his posture after confirming that there was no one around here, causing Semuel, who had slightly sprained hands and feet, Muir was sitting in his arms, facing himself.

This vampire who has already survived a hundred thoughts is very patient. He can spend a lot of time waiting for his lover to give the answer, but he is worried that if he relaxes too much, the other party will eventually choose to give that answer to him. The idea is hidden in my heart.

Samuel, who was imprisoned in Edward's arms, could hardly move. He seemed... could feel the faint uneasiness coming from Edward.Although he hid it well, it couldn't deceive Samuel who was extremely sensitive to the surrounding aura.

So Samuel said in a slightly funny mocking tone: "I was just wondering, would a vampire, like a werewolf, have an imprinted person, or a soul mate. Once you meet that soul mate, the one you loved before No matter how much he loved the other person, that kind of love will become... the past? Or maybe he will feel sorry for that person a little bit, but he will still ignore his feelings, where he can see , and Xinhuan...as passionate as fire?"
