[Twilight] Bright sunshine

I told myself that I was dreaming again.The Tuscan sun was shining on me, and I didn't feel any pain from being burned.I walked in the narrow and deep alleys of Volterra, with ginger-yellow ancient walls and long stone roads.

This is a nightmare and why would I come back here.The crisis in Volturi forced me to run, trying to get out of this dangerous town before being discovered.

Someone was watching me, a terrible gaze that could burn everything.I turned back in shock and saw Rick standing at the end of the alley.This was probably the saddest outcome I could have ever imagined, and I ran back, for he was standing in front of a small door leading to some secret in Volturi Castle.I was ready to let him run after me, but it was too late.

The sunlight, the light of the yellowed ancient city walls and the totems on the walls, flooded him clearly and flooded.

I saw his skin start to glow, that gorgeous spot of light, and it made me stop.I looked at Rick. On his handsome face, the white skin exposed was shining with refracted light that was more violent than diamonds.

"Claire." He came over, stretched out his hand, with a slightly sinister smile on his face.

I suddenly forgot who he was, and stared blankly at him coming to me at an astonishing speed, his face began to blur, only the lights were still so clear.I was hugged by him, and his embrace was so cold that I shivered.

Too cold, not human body temperature.

His breath was in my ear, his voice seemed to command me.

— fall in love with me.

He said, fall in love with me, Claire.

I resisted the order, but the next second, I remembered that his name was Rick Doyle.

It was right to fall in love with him, my heart told itself.This made me start to get confused and confused about my choices.What am I doing?I reached out and hugged him, and I promised him.

"Caius."

The scream of fear shattered all the warm sunshine, I opened my eyes suddenly and rolled off the bed, not knowing where the hysterical voice came from.Soon I covered my mouth with my hands in fear, I shrank to the corner of the bed, the avalanche of snow slanted down from the roof, I saw my half-opened window, the sun behind the snow was hazy like old times in the hue.I stared, completely afraid to recall my dream just now.Who do I see Rick as?

It was a nightmare, needless to say, and I found myself covered in cold sweat on my brow, and my heart was beating so fast that I was starving for oxygen.The Volturi necklace still hangs on me, as strong as a chain.Thinking of something, I jumped up, pulled open the utility cabinet, untied the necklace from my neck, and threw it in without any hesitation.

I can't run into vampires all the time. It's impossible for such a bad thing to happen again in ten years.

So I don't need it anymore, I run out of the room like a refugee, into the bathroom.I started brushing my teeth and washing my face. That inexplicable dream scared me so much that I turned blue. I looked at the poor little girl in the mirror and wanted to smash her.

It can't be, they are two people, no, one is not a person.

But my dream told me they were the same, a vampire.

My brain has finally been watered down by the rain on the Olympic Peninsula, which is covered with moss from the forest. Take a deep breath, I tell myself, it's just a nightmare.

But...they are alike.

This is undeniable at all, if Rick is a vampire, then his name can immediately become... that arrogant, violent, dark, evil and controlling bastard.

"It's not fair," I mutter between my toothbrush and anxiety creeping up between my brows.They're not the same person at all, and I'm going to confuse the two.

The characters are strikingly similar, yet I can't doubt that Rick is him.Rick Doyle is not going to shine in the sun, I convinced myself.But as to why I dated Rick, even...I have to admit that I fell in love with him tremblingly—how did I do such a miraculous thing.

Could it be that Caius's personality was what I fell in love with at the beginning? I ran to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water, and drank it to suppress the wild thoughts in my head.

Coincidentally, I almost crushed the glass to correct my bad thoughts.

Who would like that kind of personality, and it's not self-abuse.It's very masochistic, I just happen to like people with that kind of personality.

I heard the familiar sound of the engine, which made my anxiety worse, and for some reason I was suddenly a little scared to face Rick.We dated, and this fact made me doubt the authenticity of it from time to time. In fact, what I was most curious about was how he fell in love with me at first sight.

The day he changed schools?Love at first sight was so personal, I always thought that he had found a debtor who had escaped, and he was simply a carnivorous beast chasing its prey.

The weekend before yesterday, Edward finally came home. This old boy was full of neurotic gloom. I don't know what he went through?It seems that the boring travel experience of the week still can't make him relax.He seemed to have just been hunting, some kind of cold evil spirit still remained in his brighter yellow eyes, and the blood in the amber was as terrible.Before I told him anything, he peeped at everything about me openly.

"Is the date okay?" His tone was not joking, but a bit desperate, the kind of depression that watched everyone go to the end.

If I didn't know it was impossible, I would have thought he was in love with me.

"Okay." I replied dryly.

"Yes, it looks very romantic. Sleepless in Seattle, walking in the rain, and you guys went to buy coffee and lunch, although that guy didn't eat anything." Edward sneered, his body obviously looked full, outside Impeccable perfection, but the tone of a hooligan makes him want to curse him.

His appearance makes me want to go crazy, he is like a middle-aged old monster who has been abandoned by women a hundred times.I stood up directly from the sofa and walked to the piano on the high platform in the living room.

"Claire, don't move." Edward's speed was like black lightning, and he opened his hands to guard the front of the piano in a flash. He shouted angrily, "You're going to burn it."

"I didn't do anything." I slapped his piano angrily, and that was just an overstimulated thought.

"You are going to ask Alice to help you move it out and light it up." Edward plausibly accused me. I have always believed in the fact that they can't grow up, because if his heart is really a hundred years old, then this guy Sometimes it is simply impossible to be naive to this virtue.

"That's at most an attempt. Okay, please tell me, what exactly did I provoke you, you've been so weird lately." Could it be Bella?I looked at Edward warily, but for a long time, he didn't respond.

As long as I'm thinking about Bella, or any other Twilight spoiler, he's instantly deaf.

"Is your ability inherited from your family? Just now your heart was blank again." A few traces of frustration flashed in Edward's eyes, his fingers slid across the piano keys smoothly, and a series of notes flew out.

"What kind of family inheritance, don't avoid the topic." I was fed up with his awkward concealment, obviously there was something in my heart, but I just knew how to mess around without saying anything.

"The smell on your body?" Edward was very sensitive, and he twitched his nose very obviously. Although his nose was beautiful, this movement still made him look like some kind of dog. "Don't tell me you're with that guy 24 hours a day, you smell like him all over your body."

What he said made me blush uncontrollably, and I walked away nervously, and I was like a headless fly, circling around. "How could it be 24 hours, don't say that we seem to be living together."

"You don't understand, maybe he's hiding in your closet, Claire." Edward looked at me like an idiot, and he treated me with a calculating attitude. "Even if someone was standing behind your door, you wouldn't be able to spot him if you were careless."

"Could it be that he's still a flying thief, and always breaks my window to peep at me?" I was like a cat with fried hair, wishing I could get foreign help immediately and throw him into the forest.

It was snowing outside, and the temperature was just as cold-hearted as his.

"You don't understand, you are very dangerous." Edward began to grin his teeth angrily, God knows what's wrong with him, it seems that he has menopausal syndrome after not seeing him for a few days.

"Have you changed from mind-reading to fortune-telling?" I was tired from running around, and hoped that Edward would soon return to normal. Now he is completely different from usual. I think I must talk to Carlisle, what happened to him.

"You're in a relationship, Claire." Edward emphasized the matter incredulously, as if my falling in love and rushing out to create a terrorist attack are of the same nature.

"Don't you congratulate me?" I almost formed an emotional sharp confrontation with him. I didn't know why I was in love with him, and even Charlie wanted me to talk about a boyfriend quickly, so as to get out of my withdrawn life. out of the interpersonal relationship.

"Congratulations." He almost wanted to chew up these two words and swallow them before spitting them out to me.

"Thank you." I said coldly.

"I really should get out of here." He was suddenly angry, his yellow eyes were burning brightly, and the sadness inside was so intense, contagious like a prairie fire.Then he turned and jumped up the stairs, and disappeared in a flash.

"Edward." I chased after him. Of course, I couldn't even see his back, but I knew where he was.I went up to the third floor, and on the second floor Alice and Jasper were sitting in the study with the open door, and they were not at all surprised that I was arguing with Edward.

I knocked on the door, the door of Edward's room.He didn't intend to open the door, I knew he could hear me outside, "I'm sorry, Edward." The tone was too impulsive, I didn't want to anger him at all, I knew he must have something to do.

"Don't apologize to me." The door was opened forcefully, and a gust of cold wind blew over with Edward's appearance. I saw that his room was facing the forest, and the glass double doors without any platform were open.Did he just plan to jump on the tree like this, and then run all the way to the deepest part of the forest?

"I don't want to make our friendship worse, are you in trouble?" I carefully glanced at his room, which is full of rare CDs of various music, and advanced music reproduction equipment.He is a music fanatic, even if he wants to run away, he will pack up these collections first, including the pair of cowhide boots from the last century that he put on the CD cabinet.

"I promised Carlisle that I would not disappear without saying a word. Anyway, even if I leave now, you will have many reasons to explain why I disappeared. Studying abroad, traveling, running away from home, no one will care where I go." Edward turned around Walking into his room, his steps became very heavy, deliberately leaving a series of thuds on the floor, as if warning something.

I followed in, and outside the open door, heavy snow covered all the verdure of the forest, everything was frozen by the low temperature, and even my exhalation turned into a faint white mist.You can't hope that a vampire's room will have a bed and heating. Edward quickly reached out to close the dangerous door, and only they would make a door on the first floor on the third floor.

"Why do you think of leaving?" I absolutely can't connect his current situation with Bella, they have only met once, even if they fell in love at first sight, it shouldn't be in this state.

Edward slipped sideways behind the bookcase, where there was a gap, and with his back against the white wall, he almost blended into the wall. "Because I am very dangerous now, I am afraid that my existence will make everything worse if I can't control it."

I looked at the bookcase in doubt, only to hear Edward's voice continue, he deliberately did not let me see his expression.

"Will you forgive me if I hurt you?"

His voice is so grim, like he's telling the truth and now he's going to screw everything up.

I want to walk over, but he has already stopped me, his voice is raised, "Don't come over, if I deceive you, will you still trust me so much?"

Are you worrying?edward.

"It's not impossible, why you never understand, so you are so stupid to trust a vampire."

It's been a long time since I saw such a bitter and mean Edward. I reached out to support his bookcase.Before I could say anything, Edward had already stretched out his hand, and the pale scene that protruded from the gap in the bookcase was really worthy of the effect of a blockbuster horror movie.

"I didn't intend to burn them, I love music you know." I started to pick out one by one, including his favorite Debussy Moonlight.The quality of his CDs is good enough to build a music museum. Holding a stack of CDs, I turned and walked out. "If you really hurt me and cheated me, these are my hostages. I will not return these CDs to you when you turn against me."

Edward,...

I emphasized, "I'm serious, I'd tuck them together under the table for table legs, and step on them every time I eat to vent my hatred."

Edward,...

I didn't care about that weird guy and rushed downstairs. Alice in a thin dress floated down like a ghost, and she stopped me.

"Claire, I'm going to give you something." Alice smiled softly, her beauty was really shining.

I watched dumbfounded as she disappeared again, the black phantom returning to me within seconds.Alice shoved a box and a pink case into my hands, and I was so bewildered that I almost couldn't even hold Edward's cherished CD.

"This is my favorite jewelry. I designed them myself. I didn't give them to Rose even if she wanted them. And this box is all my favorite clothes." Alice jumped away cheerfully, and Jasper appeared On the stairs, he moved away from me, and then he reached out and flung out something. Alice easily caught it. It was a large notebook. "This is Jass' research handwriting. Although he has memorized them all, this is also a very precious souvenir for him."

I look at these things like looking at a scourge, why are these things stuffed here?

Alice had already appeared beside Jasper, and they held each other's hands and looked at each other affectionately.Then Alice looked down at me at the top of the stairs, and her smile became lighter, an illusory paleness. "This is your hostage. If we cheat you in the future and you feel angry, use my jewelry as marbles and my clothes as rags."

"You can burn my notebook. If you lose power, you can use it to light candles." Jasper said blankly. He glanced coldly at the notebook on Alice's box, and then looked at me coldly.

That expression seemed to say, if he dared to destroy his notebook, he would kill you in minutes.

I couldn't help but move away from their things, Emmett jumped out of nowhere, and there were still snowflakes on top of his head.Then he sifts through the shelf of bats over the graduation cap before grabbing one of the battered bats and tossing it to me. "This is my favorite baseball. The signature on it is very precious. If you get angry later, you can boil it." After finishing speaking, he disappeared in front of the baseball rack. When it happened, Emmett's head stuck out of the stairs again, and he grinned, "Ross said she has her favorite set of car repair tools in the garage, you can take it by the way, and you can do whatever you want."

What's the matter?Holding Edward's CD, I suddenly felt that I was holding a hot potato. I looked at Alice and the others on the stairs with some doubts, and then I suddenly realized and shouted at them: "Hey, did you do something bad to me?"

After shouting, everyone disappeared.

I'm just... just guessing.

Then everything went back to normal, Edward showed up on time for school yesterday, and they were still such a cool bunch.

Then I belatedly realized that I seemed to be tied to Rick, and I felt a little different from the Karen family.That sense of disobedience is so strange, what should I do so that they won't be so tit-for-tat.When we walked out, snow covered the road and pine needles, the sky was overcast and low, and Rick was standing next to his car, the bright red body of the car was burning like his lips.

He looked a little tired, a dark light blue appeared under his eyes, and the black pupils were still so rich, I saw him showing me a gentle smile - it was really gentle enough for him.

It made my heart beat faster, head down, I slowed my pace, the icy road under my feet is too easy to lose balance, this is just an excuse, that nightmare still haunts me.I walked up to him, his clothes were always thick, sometimes I would touch his arms, but basically I could only feel the texture of the clothes.

He should be afraid of the cold, although he doesn't seem to be frozen at all.

I hadn't seen my old Ford with the broken brakes since Rosalie towed it away.Now it is Rick who comes to pick me up every day. Charlie said that he has no opinion. Of course, if I want to buy another car, he will accompany me to see the car, a second-hand one.

"Hi." I habitually greeted him first, ignoring his deep and oppressive eyes. His eyes are always too harsh on people, even if they are facing me.

"What dream did you have last night?" He was not curious, but asking for an answer.

"Are you sure I'm dreaming?" It was a weird question, as if he knew how I slept.

I slowly moved to his car door, and he looked like a feline hiding in the grass, moving his eyes as I moved.I innocently let him shoot at random with the eye knife. He couldn't get the answer he wanted to know, so he put away the last trace of his smile, and then he opened the car door and stuffed me in. The action was really rude.

"You look like you've been frightened by something." He drove the car out, and I saw his fingers tapping the steering wheel very lightly, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the icy road ahead, but that was just a A different kind of looseness.

I was worried we were going to crash because he wasn't paying attention to driving at all.

"It's just a nightmare." I whispered strangely, and then looked at him even more strangely.With that snow-white side face and almost indifferent expression, those who didn't know thought he had turned into a statue.

"Nightmare?" He repeated in such a low voice, as if my words had hit him, even his eyes became aggressive.

"Are you curious?" I suddenly wanted to tease him. Most of the time, he is always too serious and doesn't know what humor is. In fact, as long as he wants to, he can't fall into the same situation as me at school. Basically no one socialize with us.

His eyelashes trembled, and he glanced at me from the corner of his eye, and soon felt that I was playing him. "Hmph, you want me to be curious?"

With such an arrogant and conceited answer, I really wish you could present it to him and accept his choice.I replied calmly, "I dreamed that I got married, and the groom is not you."

Maybe this answer is beyond his bottom line, he slammed on the brakes, and before I could recover and tell him it was just a joke, his voice whispered in his ears, "Claire, where is your necklace?" He leaned over Coming over, the blond hair brushed against my cheek, and I saw his eyes so close, the anger in them could almost overwhelm me.

"What necklace?" I don't know why he asked that, and he looked annoyed.

"I just think that pendant you have been wearing is very special. I have never seen you take it off. It seems that you have lost interest in that accessory now, so you throw it in the corner." Rick's expression changed , that kind of anger disappears at the speed of light, he is just a little strange, there is nothing unusual about it.

"I didn't expect you to pay attention to it. It's too bulky, and I don't really like it." I immediately made excuses, trying to cover up this weird topic.I don't want Rick to know anything about vampires, it's a life-threatening secret.

"Really? Indeed, it looks hideous and ugly, and it's only natural for you to like the new and dislike the old." Rick restarted the car, and he looked normal, even smiling.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, he seems to be sad?

I don't really believe in this intuition, but that kind of sadness also drives my emotions. I don't know what I want to comfort, "It's not ugly, it's beautiful."

"Then you can keep wearing it, if what you're telling is not a lie." His calm mask collapsed, and the frantic rage surged up immediately, but was suppressed immediately, his voice was soft and slow. "It's just a joke, you can throw anything away if you don't want it, and I can get you anything if you want it."

What a... big promise. "Okay, okay." I replied a little cowardly, because I don't think he's in the right mood right now, it's best not to provoke him, my heart warns myself like this.

When we finally got to the school, I felt like luck was sticking to the back of our car, and at this speed, there was nothing wrong with driving through those icy roads.I think his driving skills are very good. It may be that the eyes I admire made this sullen teacher driver feel better. He finally didn't use that kind of particularly gloomy and pretending to be very gentle eyes to kill me.

I opened the car door and walked out, and I was soon greeted by others. As long as I get out of this car, no matter how many times I get out of the car, others are not used to it.Then I saw Bella in front of her grabbing the rearview mirror of her car, moving towards the wheels in a posture of slipping.What's wrong with her, I saw her looking at her rear tire very carefully, is there something wrong with the snow chain?

Rick had just closed the car door, and I turned to him and said, "Wait for me." Then I walked forward, and I saw that on the other side of the parking lot, a Volvo had just stopped, and Edward got out of the car.He was far away from here, and he was staring at Bella intently, and Bella was also very sensitive to other people's gazes, and she looked up just in time to see Edward.

The encounter of fate, this sentence popped up in my brain for some reason.

I came to Bella, she was really about to fall, I immediately grabbed her hand, it was so cold, today's temperature makes people shiver.

"Claire." Bella put some of her body weight on top of me. Her sense of balance was so poor that she could fall over no matter how flat the ground was.

"You look..." It was so gentle, her expression was filled with some kind of moving and warm emotion.This kind of emotion is enough to infect me, I followed with a smile, but in the next second, someone's scream shattered all the peaceful pictures.

I was still a little dazed, and I was still holding Bella's hand firmly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Taylor's old truck speeding over. Didn't he see that this place was full of cars, and he shouldn't be driving here.

I finally realized that the car crashed out of control at a devastating speed. No one can describe the thrilling situation.The screeching sound of the wheels slipping and the brakes that could not be stepped on made this sound closer to the edge of death. I had no time, no gap to escape, I had already pulled Bella behind me, and I didn't even have time to think.

The horrified eyes of others, the chaotic collision at the scene, I fell down, covering Bella's head with my hands, and her long hair wrapped around my fingers.A hand, a gloved hand, covered my forehead before it hit the Chevrolet's wheel, saving me from smashing my head.

Then there was a familiar smell, and several students screaming unbearably, I opened my eyes, Rick's body surrounded me, his coat and scarf were next to me.I saw that his expression instantly became particularly aggressive, and the inside was full of darkness and coldness.Where did he come from?This flash of doubt was too late to stay, because the truck couldn't stop, and it had already hit the front of the Chevrolet. The whole car rolled over, and we would all die.

Unavoidable danger, I want to hold him behind my back, let him live, tears are already coming from my eyes, he shouldn't be here.

The nonchalant look on Rick's face faded to shock, and he couldn't understand why I was crying.This made him miss the last chance to escape. I impulsively stretched out my hand, hugged him desperately, passed through his arm, grabbed the clothes on his back, and almost buried my whole body in his arms.

These emotions and actions were astonishingly fast, and passed by like a torrent. I heard a dull crash and looked up in shock. Edward had already squeezed between us and the car.

The gap is so narrow, Bella is still behind me, she has some difficulty breathing, and then incredible surprise.

Taylor's car stopped without hitting anyone, but this was impossible, because Edward's hand was still supporting the body of the crashed car, so he easily slapped the car into a dent.

We are all saved, but another fear has crept in.I saw that there was no expression on Edward's cold face, as if it was a matter of course for him to pass through four or five cars to come among us in a second, and to push a moving truck away by the way.

Edward looked back at us, whether it was me or Bella, his eyeballs turned into a hunting state of horror and stagnation.

And Bella was not hurt in any way, she also looked at Edward, clearly, she knew the whole process of Edward's appearance.

exposure!

Exposed.

Edward and I realized this fact almost at the same time. I belatedly looked up at Rick, and he saw it too.

But when I met his eyes, I realized he was already looking at Bella.

It was a cold and vicious look.
