[Twilight] Bright sunshine

I felt that it was God's kindness that I was able to sleep, and my spirit was so tense to an incredible degree.

Then there is food. Humans and vampires are two completely different creatures. I can feel that atmosphere very well in Karen's house.For vampires, human food is an indigestible item, just like how we feel about some plastic and metal.The difference is that we generally don’t force ourselves to eat plastic buckets and metal boxes, while vampires, such as the non-human Karen family, occasionally have to win the trust of others and perform the stunt of swallowing boulders in front of people, and then find a place to spit them out afterwards.

These are what I more or less accidentally learned when I got along with Edward and the others, and I even learned about the attitude of vampires towards humans.

Blood is a natural necessity for them, and human blood is the most correct recipe.Carlisle seems to have said that their vegetarianism was not normal among vampires.

This made me always suspect that vampires are a group of things, well, they are not a group of things, I am the group of "what things" in their eyes.

After I woke up and recalled the details of my relationship with Caius, I slowly noticed that I had left the human world and opened another Pandora's door.

First of all, they are not human, so they can't be asked by human standards at all. Secondly, they will kill without guilt or mercy. I almost lost my head and tried to negotiate terms with these guys.

Finally, I have utility.

It was something that would make Caius write back, let me go, take me out of America, and order me to stay in Volterra.

And this thing I have may be the key to all problems, but even Carlisle doesn't know what value I have, and I simply can't step on that point.

What am I worth?

Maybe... Before I figured it out, I either became a neurotic who doubted myself, or I was directly depressed and committed suicide.

"Dear Claire, do the dishes here not suit your taste, maybe you prefer American cuisine." Arrow's voice is as light as velvet, and every corner of the tone is provoking your hearing limit.

I recovered from my daze, and finally remembered that I was still eating.

I have to admire in my heart that I can practice the way of speaking to the height of art appreciation, how boring it must be to pay so much attention to details and meticulously crafted.

"Thank you for your hospitality. This is the best food I've ever eaten." I had to respond dryly to his kindness. His kind and sweet smile didn't look easy to get along with at all.

You didn't add human fingernails to the rosemary in your chickpea salad, you replaced the green beans in the gravy with eyeballs, you changed the raw material of the Florentine steak into human thighs, and the few glasses of bright red base that came up. It's incredible that the wines from the Andi region don't have the smell of rust. I'm really touched by the good food and treatment.

"In your opinion, Tuscan-style food should be a wonderful enjoyment." Aro sat quietly on the bench, his black robe slipped smoothly from the stone seat, and he gave a kind of Depressed gorgeousness.Just like his smile, it was so sweet that it was close to flattery, and it was so thick that it made one's scalp tingle.

I was also sitting on a stone bench, and the long table was placed under the ceiling of the rectangular oil lamp. This place is more like a dark cave, neatly square, with some period-looking decorations everywhere. Taste.

To be honest, although I was hungry all day and woke up thirsty for water and food, but looking at the special food on the table and Ah Luo's face, I had no appetite.

It reminds me of the first time the Cullens are guests, the kind of pressure that can make your taste buds go on strike, and you don't even know what you put in your mouth.

The most uncomfortable thing for me is that you are always eating alone while they are watching.

There was still a black shadow standing behind Ah Luo, although he or she quickly disappeared into the corner of the wall, and he or she could not be found without paying attention.

"Well, it's a wonderful enjoyment." I continued to say dryly, stuffing a piece of bread into my mouth without taste. I should dip it in some thick soup to feel better. "Or, you can come too."

I mean it with all my heart, it's torture for me to cram so much stuff into my belly.I don't know how much they want me to eat. If there is no hard target, then I would like to put down the tableware without torturing my stomach.

"No, you probably wouldn't want me to eat in front of you." Ah Luo frowned, and quickly let go of his smile.

I look at the bowl of thick soup in front of me, and the feta cheese next to my hand, and feel my stomach ache under Aro's gaze.Compared to Caius, this guy in front of him may be the scariest.

"Yes, you are right." I grabbed the spoon, pulled out a stiff smile and said to him, forgive me for having to bow my head under the eaves.

This guy is a vampire... non-human, can hear your thoughts, is mind reading a non-human mass ability?Everywhere.I tried to hypnotize myself to be calm, the Inhuman Base Camp is really not a tourist attraction.

"Don't be nervous, Claire, no one will hurt you here." Ah Luo said seriously, and he looked at me with gentle and peaceful eyes. "You can take Carlisle, he's my best friend. You like him a lot, don't you?"

No matter how he sounds the interrogative sentence is an affirmative sentence, I don't think it is true at all.Arrow and Carlisle, no matter how I look at it, I intuitively think that they are different.

And I don't like to associate the Volturi with the Cullens.

"It seems you don't quite agree, it's wonderful that Carlisle has your friendship." Arrow sighed regretfully, "I wanted to talk to you about Fox, that rainy, mossy beauty with your eternal love small town."

This is a good topic, I have a mouthful of soup in my mouth, and I swallow it a little slowly after a few seconds.Bitterness came out from the base of my tongue all of a sudden, my nails were slightly white because of too much force, I had to admit that Ah Luo stepped on my weakness.

He will talk to me of what Caius forbids me to talk about.

"You can go back, Claire, go back and see your beloved uncle, see if the little ornamental plant on your windowsill is dead, or if the CD in your room has been gathering dust for a long time." Arrow's words came from the vocal cord What seeps out of it is a kind of cold softness, like the black robe on his body, thick and comfortable without showing any signs.

When he guides you to follow the topic, it is like reading a poem.

Can I go back?

I don't even know why I'm here, I stare at the food in front of me in isolation, and the long silence makes my hypoxic state even worse.

Finally I took a slow, deep breath and whispered extremely negatively, "That's a good question, um, a good question." Even if I wanted to talk about it, I shouldn't talk to this guy in front of me, and I suppressed my urge not to follow his words Rhythm.

"It seems that you don't like this topic, then we can talk about the next topic." Ah Luo's face was full of sincere pity, and his smile really looked like the sinister brother next door to you, kind and hypocritical. "What do you think of us?"

Neuropathy.

I'm already desperate to control the thoughts in my brain. Although I vaguely know that Aro may not be able to hear my thoughts directly like Edward, but I can hardly control my brain activities like I am dying.

"You are another kind of highly intelligent creature, different from human beings." You are not human.I really want to be more reserved, and tell the non-human beings in front of me that you are very powerful, talented, all kinds of perfect and invincible... It is difficult for others to say such words.

"We are different from human beings, but we are also like human beings in a certain way." Luo shook his head, as if he disapproved of my attitude, and rubbed his hands lightly.

This is a pair of delicate and delicate palms under the dim light.

Slowly and calmly, he intertwined, pressed, and then released, his fingers seemed to be talking.But what he said was like a lie.

"We have the same feelings as you. You love your family, and I love my brother so much. Claire, we are actually not different." Ah Luo said, almost moved himself, "Emotionally, We are equally passionate and loyal."

His voice was high-pitched and passionate, like a soprano.

I nodded stupidly, "Oh, that's great." Then I stuffed another mouthful of bread, which was a bit dry and should be eaten in soup. I suddenly missed white rice and my craft chopsticks.

I also miss the Chinese food that Esme specially cooked for me.

I actually don't understand the point of Aro sitting at the dinner table talking to me about this, at least not to me.I woke up and didn't see Caius. I was finally relieved, but then I was brought here to eat, and it was Aro's turn to come to me with a smile on my face to discuss the similarity between humans and non-human races , I said the pressure is a bit high.

"My brother, Caius." He paused twice, not knowing whether he was emphasizing the phrase "brother" or the name Caius, and then Aro said with a smile, "He regards you as one of his own." , I am truly delighted. It has been too many years since I have seen him ignite his flames of love with feelings other than anger and hatred."

I really have no curiosity about the too many years he said. As for the flame of love, I regard it as a slip of the tongue.

"He didn't let me scare you, or even scare anyone from hurting you. Because you look, and maybe you don't understand, people like us, almost all human beings are vulnerable. You can always be because of some Passed away by an inconceivable little accident, like flower petals in the morning mist, even the weight of the sun can crush it." Ah Luo's expression fell silent miraculously, like a marble sculpture remained motionless.His black hair sets off his beautiful features, which in this setting look like a serious oil portrait.

I always feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere, but I can't tell what is wrong.

"Even when he saw you, he started to be timid. This transformation is simply incredible." Ah Luo's fingers began to move silently again, and he seemed to be thinking about something, talking to himself expressionlessly. "Although there are risks in doing so, how do you know what the result will be if you do nothing? Mediocre and cowardly thoughts should never belong to the ambitious Caius. The flames of emotion in his heart are so strong."

I completely turned into a stone table next to the protagonist. The flat ceiling above my head and the walls made of ancient stones, under the crumbling oil lamp, formed an endless and wide space, which made me create this world. Under me, with the illusion of the existence of this guy in front of me.

Ah Luo's expression changed again, I really don't know who his acting teacher is, the facial movements are so rich.He covered his hands and smiled brightly, his eyes were extremely clear, and he talked to me as if you were his life and death friend.

"Claire, are these things to your liking?"

I find this question odd because not only has he asked it once, but I don't know much about their non-human brain structure.

He could only reply in a flat tone, "It's very appetizing, thank you for the hospitality." Compared with Ah Luo's calm and gorgeous response, it was a dried radish after being exposed to the sun, which was very shriveled.

God knows what I'm gnawing on, I can't taste it at all.

"That's good, you will miss this taste occasionally in the future, Claire." Ah Luo smiled gratifiedly, and he looked at me with a terrifyingly kind expression.

It's really... scary.My fingers trembled, but I didn't know why I was trembling. I looked at my hand strangely, it was dazzlingly pale under the light.

"Maybe my beloved brother will be very grateful to me, because I saved his little angel from the fate of dying at any time." Aro stood up slowly, his black magic robe returned to smooth from its folds, and the calm and clear light leaned on the On his black sleeves.His eyes were a little hazy, and seemed to merge with the lights, turning into a rich red.

The trembling of my fingers hasn't stopped yet, and there is already a slight cold sweat on my forehead. I still wonder what happened to this violent reaction.

"Where is Caius?" I asked him inexplicably, probably because the guy had been by my side from the second I came to Volterra, so his sudden disappearance made me feel uncomfortable.I knew very clearly in my heart that I would be much more relaxed if he was not around, but at this moment, I suddenly felt that this sense of disobedience was even more serious.

It's like Caius shouldn't disappear, and Arlo shouldn't treat me to dinner alone.

"You are so sensitive." Ah Luo smiled admiringly, "He is so righteous, a little matter of executing a prisoner can make him leave, maybe this time it will let him know clearly that not everything can be mastered In his hands. For example, he shouldn't leave your side, even if he let the guards protect you, it is unreliable."

Guard protection?

When I opened my eyes, I was alone, and the guards didn't even see it.

"Your ability makes me look forward to it. In my brother's heart, you are the most beautiful color in the world." Ah Luo left the chair and walked over slowly, his smile was so bright that you could see the snow-white The teeth, obviously not as flat as fangs, gave off a sharp and deadly feel. "And your blood is also his irresistible cage."

If I still can't figure out what this crazy non-human is up to, then my brain should be clogged with their regional food.

Every step he took was a knife-tip dance on my vigilance line, which stimulated me to jump up immediately, turn around and run wildly towards the only exit.

But as Edward kindly warned, no human being can outrun non-humans, so it's better to save effort and die better.It took me only four or five seconds from the start to the stiff stop.

And these four or five seconds were so long that I thought a century had passed.

His shoulders were heavily suppressed, carrying the weight of a Wuzhi Mountain.It was Ah Luo's hand, clean and white, with neatly manicured nails, exuding a warm light, gently resting on my shoulder.

The beautiful voice of the aria rang in my ears, and the cold breath mixed with the fresh smell unique to non-human beings surrounded me. "Claire, don't be afraid, it will be a little difficult at first. But you are a strong and good boy, and you will never let me down. Your color will stay forever, and no one can take it away."

Cold sweat rolled down from my forehead to my chin, I tried to smile, and said with some difficulty: "Excuse me, do I have a choice?"

Ah Luo innocently said in a soft and fluffy tone: "No, Claire, you have no choice. If there is a God, God will answer you like this."

If there is a god, the god will destroy you, dead monster.

"Although I am a little sorry for Caius, not everyone can meet the singer in his life, but your death will take away his color. And he has chosen to endure, then your blood can only become the right one. His torture day and night."

Ah Luo stood behind me, he was close to my back, close at hand.

I lowered my head, clenched my fists, and began to tremble all over.It was out of my control, and that terrible premonition of vigilance was like a wave, forcing me to run quickly.

But where can I go, who will save me.Charlie... Carlisle, Edward, Alice...

"Soon it will pass, and your beauty will be unmatched."

Ah Luo's fingers gently lifted my messy long hair, and his fingertips brought the cold of the whole winter and slid across my fragile neck.

I can imagine the horrible picture of him showing his teeth.

Vampires don't have fangs, Alice once said, fingering her own teeth that were as neat as surgery.But they can crush almost anything, and human flesh is vulnerable under their teeth.

My brain is spinning crazily in this tense atmosphere, what should I do?Is there any other way to get me out of trouble.

If anyone could save me from this, who would it be.No, no, it's too late.The only thing that makes me feel a little hopeful is the Karen family, but they're not here.No matter how fast the United States and Italy are, it will take a few hours.

Ah Luo's movements are like some hand-washing ritual before the meal, and he is not in a hurry to bite down.

He's right, I don't even want to know what he eats.In particular, you are still food.

Vampires have a terrible oppressive effect on human beings. Now that I am under his aura, I feel weak even if I want to run errands.

What can be done to prevent this from happening?

Aro ran his hands gently through my hair, his chin on my shoulder, and his voice was always smiling, in cold breaths. "Don't be afraid, my child."

My heart was beating violently, and I was finally so scared that I couldn't bear it. "Save..." I thought it was a scream, but when I exited, I realized that even the sound was so weak that it was close to death.

Ah Luo's teeth are already attached to my skin, just barely.The impasse of intimacy.

Help... help!

——Everything happened at the nick of the hair, in the wind and lightning.

"Ah Luo." A man's voice sounded so angry that it almost shattered all the ancient gray stones.

The vampire behind me paused, and before I could react, a gust of wind hit us hard.I was still standing, but my long hair was fluffed up like a ghost.

Arlo had left behind me, he was blown away by the wind.

I grabbed my hands full of hair and hurriedly looked back, and then there was another loud bang and thunder.The oil lamp on the ceiling shook violently, and the light was on the verge of being destroyed.The stone cracked from the wall, and several pieces of gravel rolled to my feet. I quickly jumped away, and a stone flew towards me again.

In the dim space, most of the walls were shattered, and a sharp male voice roared fiercely: "You want to forcibly transform her, but you dare to transform her behind my back."

The terrible emotion of questioning was like Ah Luo killed his parents, and the madness of hatred so frightening was clearly revealed.

I finally saw that it was Caius, with his back to me, nailing Aro to the rubble with such overwhelming force that they crashed into the wall.Ah Luo was pinched by his neck with one hand, and a crisp crackling sound came from between his fingers.

The black figure in the corner floated out quickly, but he (she?) seemed a little at a loss.

"Renate, get out." Caius said coldly, a loud roar was suppressed into his throat and almost overflowed.

"Of course, I don't need her here." Ah Luo was still able to speak, it seemed that his neck being crushed was nothing to him, and he asked the guard named Renat to go to the wall flower again.Then he looked at Caius grimly and said, "Do you know what you are doing, brother."

The word "younger brother" is almost enough to bite the gums, and Ah Luo's smile is so sinister that it makes people shudder.

"Everything you promised me is your lie, Luo." Caius didn't let go of the posture that suppressed him. He half-kneeled on the ground, and the robe of the same color as Ah Luo was draped on the stone.The hands were still viciously pinching his neck, and the lips were stretched back, as ruthless as a wolf. "Everything about Claire is my responsibility, everything about her is mine."

I was frightened by his ferocity and took a step back. I looked at the black figure in the corner in some panic, wondering if they would run after me or not.

"Of course, of course." Arrow stretched out his hand, touched Caius' face very intimately, and said with a friendly smile, "I have already said that Claire was brought back by you, so she belongs to you. But brother Ah, are you really planning to convert her by yourself? Don't forget, she is your singer, even if you are in the same room with her and do nothing, her blood is irresistible to you, making you miserable Then how do you convert her? Are you confident that you will be able to stop after touching her blood?"

"So you plan to do it for me?" Caius growled angrily, "Bring her here without my knowledge, and you want to kill her?"

"I can't kill her. This is not death, but eternal life. Do you want to guard your singer tremblingly and let her live in this dangerous world with a human body, so that she will die at any time." Ah Ro looked at him very seductively, his smile was so sincere and beautiful.

...You old pervert, I resist the urge to curse.This guy is urging Caius to transform me, I... endure all kinds of words to bless his ancestors.

Caius was silent for a while, and this silence to me is like the moment when a condemned prisoner faces the loading of a bullet.

"And I will also wonder if Claire is another lie. I have already planted on Asinodora once. I must be sure that Claire is not an empty lie, but the real truth." Arrow continued. , He covered his neck with his hands, and broke off his beloved brother's fingers strangling him one by one.

Caius didn't want to strangle him immediately, instead he let go of his fingers first, but the anger still made his fingertips tremble.

"It seems that she is real, otherwise you wouldn't make me pay such a high price." Ah Luo slowly evoked a smile, and then expanded his smiling face uncontrollably, showing his fanaticism. "Your ability, Claire's ability, is so perfect. I have seen the ability to make me worth any price and any expectation. I also want to thank you, brother."

When a person with a neck full of slits, no blood flow, and a particularly bright smile with his head tilted in front of you will make you suspect that this is not a vampire, but a scene from a ghost movie.

Once again, I had horrible associations with the anatomy of creatures like vampires, what the hell are they made of?

"Don't do this kind of thing behind my back in the future, Luo." Caius pushed his outstretched hand away, with a gloomy face.

"You don't have to worry about it, at least I won't do it again recently." Ah Luo put his hands together and rubbed them together elegantly, then smiled at me and said, "I'm sorry for scaring you, Claire."

I was already startled by him, I immediately shook my head with a pale face.Don't be sorry, please stay away from me.

Caius finally had the time to turn his noble head to my side, his blond hair was disheveled, and there was still some wild anger in his eyes.He gritted his teeth and pursed his mouth again, his pale face was depressed.

I could see that he was very angry, his eyes were very penetrating, and he looked me all over.From my hair that was so messed up that it could cover a bird's nest, the clothes that were splashed with soup, and seeing my foot that lacked a shoe, I just ran too fast and threw it away.

My image really insults your noble aesthetics.

In the end he didn't say anything, and I thought he was going to yell at me, or strangle me to death.

He walked out with his hands down, with a dark face, and stopped when he passed by me.I didn't dare to move, my eyes were fixed on my feet, and I couldn't help seeing the corner of his long black robe.There was a creaking sound overhead, and I thought it was the howling of the poor oil lamp, and it screamed and shattered.I was startled, and before I looked up, the light fell down, just pointing at the top of my head.

Caius stretched out his hand to catch it exactly, and his hand swirled against the top of my head. I held my breath and dared not move.

He threw the light away and continued walking out.

I heard his footsteps getting farther and farther away, very light and floating, like walking barefoot.Carefully raising his head, he saw that the ground was full of rubble, more than half of the room was broken, and the ruins.

"Claire, are you still hungry?" Ah Luo stood in the pile of rubble, the crack on his neck set off his terrifying face, and his frighteningly friendly smile. "How about I ask someone to make you a new one, American style or Chinese style?

My hair stood on end, and I shook my head desperately, "Thank you for your hospitality, I am very satisfied, don't bother me anymore."

He ran out, and Ah Luo laughed happily behind him, "Lenette, she is really cute, isn't she?

When I ran out of the room, I was about to collapse.The sun rushed in through the cracks in the stones, and fell on my feet like light rain.I shrunk my toes and stared blankly.

When I looked up, I saw Caius standing with his back to me. The light was shining brightly on his exposed skin. I didn't know what he was doing here.But he didn't say anything, and I didn't think there was any need to say anything.

After standing for a while, he walked forward.

I stood still and continued to look at my feet.The sun gradually climbed up my toes, and it was not comfortable to walk with one shoe.

It took some time to think about it, only to realize that I don't know where to go right now.It's full of vampires, old perverts.I found that no one can save me, just like I am not strong enough to save myself.

I lowered my head and started walking slowly.

Caius walked ahead, and I followed him at a long distance.

The sun often falls on my ankles, bringing light waves to flow.It hurts, the burning pain of ultraviolet rays is piercing.

I stopped and stood in the shade, but my feet were in the sun.I wonder if this is a nightmare, and I can wake up after a long time of pain.After being in a daze for a while, I realized that my tears were falling.I endured it to the death, this situation was too sad, and I didn't have the confidence to make it through.

And I haven't called Charlie yet, he's going to be crazy.

Bella hadn't come yet, and he didn't have any relatives around him.

I gritted my teeth, and tears rolled out of my eye sockets bit by bit. They rolled into the sun and evaporated.

I don't make a sound, this is not a place for me to cry.Don't be a wretch, it won't do you any good, Claire.

The tears couldn't be stopped, I closed my eyes in discomfort, my long hair was messily hanging in front of my face to cover my ugly face.Holding the hem of his clothes with his hands, he endured with his veins protruding.

I don't know when Caius turned back. I didn't have the strength to flee, but I just lowered my head and blocked my sight with my hair, tears still falling.

I thought, I didn't cry, it wasn't crying.

I'm worried that this unhinged bastard will go into a fit of rage, as he does all the time, and he can't control his violent outbursts.

"Don't be afraid, this kind of thing won't happen in the future."

Caius stretched out his hand and wiped my shrinking face. Hot tears seemed to stung his cold fingers, and he flinched back.

"No one will dare to do this to you in the future. I will kill them next time." He looked at me fiercely and said, with cruel viciousness coming out of his red eyes.

I stared at him blankly, with tears all over my face and sunshine everywhere.

The author has something to say: I forgot to ask for leave yesterday, sorry
