[Twilight] Bright sunshine

Chapter 44 Punishment

I walked out of the Volturi on my feet and came back with my feet off the ground.

Caius didn't look in a good mood at all, at least it would be much worse than if he took me out for a walk.My face was scalded. This kind of rare disease that can only be tossed but not killed sounds really weird. The temperature of the sun boiled on my face, and clear burning pain emerged from my skin.

This level is not serious, and it will be burnt once if you die, there will be no blisters or scars, and your cheeks will be as red as a monkey's butt.

I think Volterra can go to Volturi Castle either way, because the way we came out was completely different from the way we went back.Caius's speed is elegant and fierce. When the canary hanging under the residential building saw us, it must have been a black object with an afterimage that suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

He wasn't worried about bumping into people at all, I was held in his arms, my feet were empty, and I worried for him all the way what would happen if someone came around the corner.

The speed of the humanoid F1 racing car was amazing. He hugged me and rampaged, and all kinds of stone stairs in the alley were like walking on the ground for him.Soon we came to a street, and his speed immediately slowed down to a normal human walking speed.

I saw many people passing by on the road. They had three-dimensional features, black or brown hair, and olive-yellow skin. They were residents of Volturi.

After the sun came out this morning, it started to be lively.

After our speed slowed down, we were out of place in the crowd.Neither the unseasonable hooded coat nor the skin as pale as alpine snow has any sense of Italian enthusiasm.

Caius' gaze was always higher than the ceiling, and the people in the whole street were directly regarded as the background murals, and they didn't even bother to take a look.Before he walked into the front door of an old building, I was on tenterhooks.

I'm afraid that he will go crazy suddenly, and he can do anything with a mouth full of lies.

I can't believe now that he can protect the people of Volterra, even if he talks about it.

This is a house similar to the architectural style of the Savings Bank on the other side of the square, with many windows and arched doors, and old yellow stone walls.

We walked in to an open foyer that should resemble some kind of corporate office.Some uniformed employees were negotiating something with Jaina, holding lists in their hands.After we walked in, Gianna came over immediately and said hello in Italian, with a sweet and professional smile.

She was wearing high heels and a suit skirt, very capable and neat.In his hand is a thin piece of paper pinned to a pen, and the paper is densely packed with numbers and Italian.She went on to say in English with an accent: "Everything has been shipped, including the bed." When she said the bed, the ending slanted with an inexplicable sense of ambiguity.I think this is an illusion of nervousness, because her accent has always been running diagonally.

"Move them all to the bottom of the small town." Caius walked past Jaina without any hesitation, ordering people not to look at them. He was very skilled in this kind of contemptuous and disdainful attitude.

"Not the room in the front hall?" Jaina was a little surprised, she seemed to know that these things should not be placed in the place Caius said in the first place.

Caius finally knew how to take a look at them to show respect for the hard-working employees. He raised his eyelids coldly, and his eyes rolled with the tilt of his neck. His eyes aroused the evil spirit on the entire expressionless face. , fierce and vicious.

The current him does not allow any voice of resistance to appear.

I knew he was in a bad mood.

Jaina took a step back in fright, and she said in a trembling voice: "Okay, boss, but the wires can't be brought in, or a lot of cleaning is needed, such as heating and hot water, which can't be solved in a short time. Claire may... ...can't take it."

She didn't know how much courage she had to muster before she could speak so many words against Caius' cannibalistic eyes.I saw that her hands were tightly clasped, the skin of her fingers was so tight that the outline of her hand bones could be seen.

Caius only needs to hear others say yes. As for the heating water or light bulbs, he has no sense of approval at all. "Bring the doctor." Ignoring Jaina's words, he walked towards the elevator.

I found out that the Volturi like to build elevators in their castles, with an attendant standing by the elevator door.I thought he was human, but when I walked in, I found that his complexion was also pale. He wore a hat tilted to his eyes, and his smile was cold and weird.After saluting Caius, he immediately opened the elevator door.

Caius walked in with me in his arms, and the elevator doors closed again.I decided not to make a sound, since Caius and I were the only ones left in the elevator.

The atmosphere was heavy and terrifying, and I froze all over.Caius frowned again, his eyes were turning red little by little, and the process was very fast.The brown of the contact lenses melted into his cold red pupils.

The eyes are definitely the most vulnerable part for humans, and non-humans can ignore the discomfort of glasses residue left in the fundus. Obviously, if you want to resist in the future, inserting his eyes first will not work.

There was burning pain on the face, and the burn on the back of the hand was relatively mild, and it was only now that it started to ache.I tried to ignore this pain by keeping my mind wandering.

"Run out of Volterra, huh? Then, follow the tour group to Siena or Florence, call Fox to ask Karen and those guys to pick you up?" Caius laughed sarcastically, in his words Full of cruelty that fools should bury. "That's a nice plan, Claire."

This guy didn't smile like Edward's sarcasm with a sense of joking. Edward was joking at best, and Caius was dangerous, with a dark twist crawling over his smile.

I really want to answer him, you think too much.I don't have such a long-term plan with my big pigeon brain. It's really a bit crazy to be locked up in this desperate ghost place in Volturi these days. Once I go outside, what I see is not a vampire but a human being. I can't control the thought of running away.

My mind was preoccupied with the group of tourists who could get out of Volterra, if I was one of them, just a normal tourist, then I could leave here anytime, Italy anytime, Fly back to America.

Afterwards, I also wanted to understand that even if Caius hadn't come out and let me go, I wouldn't have time to run out.Because any vampire's footsteps can catch up with the car on the winding mountain road.At that time, it will not be the territory of Volterra. It is easier to solve the accident by kicking the tourist car down the mountain.

Can I be thankful that Caius made the right choice to bring me back before all these terrible things happened?

Maybe I should thank him, for his cruelty.

Caius didn't seem to want me to kneel down, hug his thigh and cry in repentance, maybe he had a more sinister plan in his heart.

After exiting the elevator, there is another reception area with a counter.Caius put me on the dark gray sofa. The style of this place does not deviate from the overall decoration color of Volturi. There are a row of oil paintings on the wall that look hard to distinguish between real and fake, and the floor is generally gray.

I have basically stayed in an area like this for the past two days, and the place where I slept before should be the front hall that Jaina said.This so-called lobby area is divided into many counters, with water, electricity, and heating or cooling devices.It looks like entertaining outsiders, but the degree of secrecy is not the same.

Caius sat next to me, and I tried my best to look away for fear of seeing his face.This kind of scene is very similar to that you are entertaining guests, but you have nothing to say, and you can't even prepare the refreshments for the reception.It's dull and embarrassing enough that you don't know what to do.

When Jaina appeared, I wanted to see her as a savior, and I would suffocate to death if I was alone with Caius.I didn't dare to look at him, and he also froze with a gloomy face and said nothing.

She brought a 50-year-old man in a suit, a little pudgy, dark-skinned, with short black hair, probably from southern Italy.

The middle-aged uncle is carrying a medicine box, which seems to be a doctor.He seemed a little disturbed, presumably the patient did not meet his expectations.However, his work ethic allowed him to quickly pick up his emotions and come to me.It was easy to see something was wrong with my face, the burning pain didn't ease in the slightest.

The uncle doesn't understand English, and from time to time he will turn around and say something in Italian to Gianna, then open the medicine box and start to help me deal with these burns.When he helped me apply the medicine, his fingers touched my face meticulously, the temperature was different from that of a vampire, even when my face was already hot, I could clearly feel that it was the temperature of a human being.

Then came the cooling effect brought by the ointment. The uncle muttered something in Italian, which should be an order.Then he raised my face with his hand and observed it very carefully.

Caius got angry, he stood up suddenly and yelled something in Italian, and directly pushed away the doctor's hand on my face, as if he really wanted to drag the doctor out and burn him to death.

If it weren't for the ointment on my face, I would have covered my face with my hands and howled helplessly: "What's wrong with your uncle, can you go crazy like this?"

Everyone in the room was terrified by him, Caius finally said coldly in English: "Get out."

Jaina hurriedly dragged the doctor uncle to walk fast, the speed of those high heels could be faster than flat shoes.

I really want to go out with them, but looking at Caius' attitude, if I dare to stand up, he can break my legs.

Caius took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. There were still marks on his suit that I had torn and torn, and two of the buttons were broken by me.A V-shaped pendant necklace was exposed under the red scarf. The familiar pattern hurt my eyes. I didn't want to think of those envelopes being dragged away by the garbage truck.

"Claire, it seems that you haven't understood what the Volturi stand for." Caius stretched out his hand violently and pinched my chin precisely. He looked at the sticky things on my face with dissatisfaction, His fingers impatiently rubbed the place where the doctor had just wiped the medicine.

He's right, I don't know anything about the Volturi.The past few days have not been enough for me to fully think about my situation. If it was not for escape, I would never have thought of understanding this place.

"If you are treated as a fugitive, you are a traitor. Volturi does not allow betrayal, and you will die." Caius's red pupils were filled with endless darkness, and his anger was more focused on my involuntary anger. According to ability. "No one can escape our pursuit. Even if you hide in the center of the earth, I still have a way to dig you out."

The idea of ​​running away is not what I want to say that it can be stopped if you don’t run away. Try being dragged to a strange place by an inexplicable group and locked up with threats and threats. Can you still smile and say it’s fine? ?

I held my breath, fear and anger squeezed in my chest, very stuffy.

Caius continued sinisterly and despicably: "You already belong to the Volturi, and you also belong to me. You will be protected by the Volturi, and you will also be punished by it. Forget about the poor life before, and become the Volturi. Noble member of the Volturi, take my everlasting protection."

You... I can't hold back, cursing dirty words will only dirty myself... I can't bear it anymore, even if I sell myself, it's worth a little money, your empty words will make me a living person Crucified, are you a god or a madman, what is the nobleness of the Volturi, robbery or lies, you trafficker.

I endured until the expression on my face was distorted. Sometimes it is not so easy to suppress my anger.But I really can't afford to offend the non-human beings in front of me. Even if I am bullied to death, I can't make a sound. Playing off my temper will only make me die faster.

"You must abide by the laws here, the loyalty of the Volturi, eternal life, and your heart will remain in the Volturi forever." Caius said at the end, his expression was terrifyingly serious, his voice was low and oppressive, The cold fingers let go of my face and slid to my neck, wanting to strangle me to death.

"I'm human and don't need to obey your vampire laws."

This sentence is so out of place, I don't know when my brain will stop.Maybe it was blinded by the pent-up anger in my chest. I knew that this situation would not irritate him, but I still said this uncontrollably.

Caius was silent for a while, as if he was still digesting what I said.Then, with an uncomfortable coolness, his fingers gently touched the aorta on my neck, he suddenly became gentle, his tone was silky and smooth, and he whispered as if he was facing his lover : "Claire, what did you say?"

I wanted to cowardly close my eyes, hug myself and surrender to him, but I didn't say anything, really nothing.

I ended up just taking deep breaths, and the amount of air getting into my lungs helped me feel better.I suddenly reached out and clasped his arm resting on my neck. I hoped that I could speak a complete sentence normally. The hand holding Caius was shaking, and I met his gaze. superior.

"I am a human being, Caius. The laws of your world are none of my business. As long as any so-called laws you vampires do not appear in the U.S. Constitution, I have no need to abide by them. My violations are just your wishful thinking. I'm not the same creature as you..." These words have been held in my heart for a long time, it's really hard, what did I do wrong, besides knowing you, what other heinous crimes did I commit that deserves your relentless pursuit.

Caius was not prepared to say these words, he was too confident that his authority would not be challenged.The cold fingers tightened suddenly, and he pressed me hard onto the sofa. I coughed and wanted to struggle, but the strength of this little chick was really not enough.

"If your identity as a human being becomes a shelter for you to avoid punishment, then I will turn it into a waste." When Caius was really angry, it was not obvious. He didn't jump into a rage, nor did he roar ferociously, but the gentleness of his voice made you feel cold. In the bone marrow, there is a heart-pounding viciousness. "May I help you switch now, Claire. Two days, three days, soon, the closer the venom is to your heart, the sooner you will be the same as me. You will not be human, and you will never be."

He didn't allow me to struggle, didn't even give me a chance to speak, he lowered his head close to my shoulder, and pressed his bright red lips against my neck artery.A kiss, the overly tense and violent heartbeat involves the pulsation of the arteries, but the temperature of his lips froze all my warmth.

My mouth trembled, and his breathing became heavier, as if he was waiting for which part was more delicious.Our hands and feet are intertwined, his chest is empty, and there is no heartbeat.

I was very scared, like the cowardice before death in the face of death.

Every breath he took was like a sharp knife, a pain that could plunge into my veins.I was crushed to death by him, the vampire was heavier than normal people, and it was difficult for me to breathe.

But I can feel that Caius is hesitating, what is he hesitating about?His patience will soon reach its limit, and the teeth under his cold lips are already showing, and he is determined to kill me.

"Claire, apologize to me." Caius' voice became sharper, and the sharp sound between his teeth was only one centimeter away from my life.

My breath was covered by his blond hair, suffocating and insane situation.

He was more likely to collapse than me, and the strength with which he suppressed himself was unbelievable.The sound has also become a tight thread, binding my hearing. "Apologize immediately and ask for my forgiveness."

I... I can't open my mouth, the suffocation is very serious.That bastard Caius didn't even notice that I was crushed to the last breath of air in my lungs.Even if I want to say honestly, I was wrong, I shouldn't anger a non-human whose brain circuit is completely different from that of a human, I don't have that condition.

So you didn't intend to bite me, you just wanted to crush me to death with your inhuman weight?

Caius couldn't wait for my regretful apology at all. He pressed his hand on my shoulder and jumped up quickly. His movements were so nimble and beautiful that no human could do that kind of strength.

Immediately after he left me, he held his breath, the greed and hesitation in his eyes intertwined and shattered, and finally all mixed into an unknown desire|desire.

I looked at him vigilantly, but before I had time to say anything, Caius backed away as fast as lightning, and he hit the white wall with his whole body, the landscape oil paintings were shaken off, and the wall cracked The furrows of a spider's web.

"Don't leave here." After he yelled at me, his body disappeared suddenly.

Just like that... run away?

I touched my neck in fear, it was still cold.

I am the only one left here, and it seems that no one dares to stay when Caius is furious.I got up from the sofa and saw that there was an open window on the wall next to the counter. The curtains were thick and the patterns on them were so varied that my sight was distorted.

I walked over, pulled back the curtains, and sat in the corner, letting the curtains cover my entire body.It wasn't until now that he dared to shrink into a ball, hugged his bent knees, and buried his head in them.

The muscles were uncontrollable, shaking with excitement or fear.

It's all right, I said to myself, it's an act of bravery, Claire.So don't be afraid, they are all bad kidnappers, I have to be strong to face it all.

I'm not afraid, I...

Swish, the curtain was roughly pulled open, and I looked up immediately in fright. Caius' face was terrible, with the expression of a murderer who shrank into an ant hole and I could drag you out and strangle you to death.

I couldn't help shrinking back even more, saying that I am not afraid is a lie, I am afraid that this bastard will die.

Caius shot too quickly, and I was grabbed by him without the strength to resist. He picked me up and left as a matter of course.

The author has something to say: In fact, the allure of the singer's blood is very attractive to vampires, so Caius is very painful every time he gets close to Claire.But after leaving, the whole world is full of people with lines, so, to a certain extent, Uncle Kai has been abused by Claire.

Cover your face, I forgot to say about Caius' age yesterday.In the original book, Caius was 50 years old... I rubbed my eyes and looked at the little boy in the movie, 50 years old?You take good care of yourself.

And Marcus switched when he was less than 20 years old... I continued to rub my eyes and blinded my eyes. This is unscientific. Are you sure that the long-faced man with a ravine is less than [-] years old? ? ?

Tour guide, the different plots will confuse me.

In the end, I switched the ages of Marcus and Caius, so that Caius was 50 and [-], and Marcus was [-] and [-].

The age of Caius is 19 years old, which was fabricated by this fan, please don't treat it as the original material.touch.
