[Twilight] Bright sunshine

When the flame of love is lit in the heart, rebirth and destruction will coexist.

"Damn, that guy is here again." Emmett opened the glass window and rushed in from the window on the second floor in an instant. It was raining heavily outside, and he was covered in rainwater.His white vest and baseball cap were soaked through, which annoyed him.Because Rosalie custom-made his clothes for him, he obviously likes these fabrics with sports elements.

He took off his hat and shook his hair, his muscular arms and back protruded too much due to his exertion, a transparent vest that was covered in rainwater could not hide much.

We were all on the first floor, Carlisle working on some papers at the long table in the dining room, Esme sitting next to him, and they smiled occasionally.I'm not going to listen to their inner sweet talk, because I'm lying on the red sofa in the living room, holding a novel in my hand, taken out of Carlyle's collection, it is the writing of an anonymous vampire, older than me It's still a long time ago.

I'm wearing headphones and the music is turned up to max volume.It was the rock music recommended by Claire. If it weren't for her recommendation, I would never have read the few classics among a bunch of so-called 90s music. It was just destroying my ears.

The music diverts my attention and gives me a huge peace of mind, because for a brief moment I don't hear everyone's inner chatter.

Alice and Rosalie were sitting next to the piano, at a small table close to the floor-to-ceiling glass, and they were watching the latest fashion week show.I don't know how many truckloads of the latest new season clothes will be stuffed into the wardrobe after this fashion feast.

Women's desire to shop is incomprehensible to all men, even if they have become vampires.

Alice was probably the first to know what Emmett was complaining about, yes, that guy... I turned around uncomfortably, put my hands under my head, and continued reading without blinking.

I think everyone will be afraid of his coming, Volturi, if you are a vampire, you will know what this title means.

Ancient, noble, powerful, fearful.

I remembered that when we were in Volterra, Alice and I hid outside the mountain town, and we dared not even enter Volterra for sightseeing without Carlisle's permission.That was a huge risk, and none of it was worth it for Claire's sake.

I don't want to mess with them, although I'm eager to try.

Of course I'm not Emmett, and I don't need violence or stupid exposure to satisfy my destructive desires.Don't piss off the Volturi unless you want to kill yourself.

Maybe someday I'll finally tire of the long life, and I'll try the bell tower that burned Volterra.

No one knew how terrible it would be to take Claire back from the Volturi.But Esme...she didn't say anything, and that's why she made us miserable because she didn't say anything.

That is her child.I heard her cry of despair.

This crying tormented my nerves day and night, enough to drive me crazy.I hated the Volturi for a moment, they took Claire away, they took her away as a victor, a brutal human trafficker.

I knew that Caius couldn't kill Claire, she was the man's salvation, I heard that desire and madness washed away all obstacles.He fell in love with color, fell in love with Claire.

But to get her back from the Volturi was like writhing and howling naked in the flames.Alice saw Claire, who was still human, surrounded by all vampires, but no one could hurt her.Those pictures are sometimes dark and sometimes bright, like the twisted and undulating waves of raging sea water, not clear.She was still human, in the castle of the Volturi, mad, and she lived as a human intact in a place full of predators.

This kind of protection, if it is human beings, it is absolutely impossible to know what it means.

To vampires, human beings are a burning drug addiction. Claire is so close to the group of predators, but nothing happens.They're not vegetarians and don't have to play by the moral rules of the self-control game.

And apparently someone—Caius—made them all obey, the Volturi leader who had her enclosed in his protection.

That was remarkable, and Carlyle was not stingy with his praise of Caius when he knew it.I don't know how much deterrence is needed to make a group of vampires who are so good that people tremble bow their heads.

And we were brave enough to take Clare from Volterra, and take her from Caius, and I have reason to praise my family for that.

Who knows that when we escape from Volterra, we are desperate, and may die in Tuscany because Caius changes his mind at any time.Although the scenery in that place is good, I would rather die quietly in Forks, where the sun is too bright to be a vampire's grave.

"Emmett, don't splash the rainwater on the floor casually."

Rosalie was teaching her apes again, and I was indifferent, immersed in the novel.The author's words are gorgeous and dark, and I can already see an old vampire hiding in a basement without light, using his meaningless time to carve out his own works.

The vampire protagonist falls in love with a human being, a topic I only became interested in after what happened to Claire.

"You came from Seattle?" Rosalie hooked Emmett's neck, wishing to swing him out. She hated people getting the dry floor wet.

"I saw the Volturi's private jet again, it must be Caius." Emmett has a kind of crazy ferocity, he is different from Jasper's coldness, he only has the mania of addiction to rivalry with others.He felt that Caius was incredibly strong. That guy was three thousand years old, an old guy, and his strength hadn't diminished much. That was something new to Emmett.

He didn't have much awe of the Volturi, only his blond angel, Rosalie.

I am not going to tell Emmett how many battles Caius has experienced, compared to Emmett's habit of fighting with people, that is the real fighter, Caius likes to cause wars most, an evil Cruel schemer.He loves to fight, loves the victory of the war, and even stays on the battlefield to occupy other people's kingdoms and then destroy them.Fighting and winning are in his blood. This is the first time I met this kind of person. He looks hypocritical and majestic, as if he has never stepped down from the altar.

If I say Caius is too strong, Emmett will regard him as an opponent. I don't want to take a risk and put our family in danger because of this kind of thing.

I didn't let myself move, let myself become more focused and slowly sink into the book, and I didn't get excited by the news.When Caius entered Forks for the first time, on that snowy night, all the firs were frozen. Alice saw him. His blond hair was so conspicuous in the dark night, like the light of dawn.We're out in force and can't stand the tyrannical leader grabbing Claire again.

He was breaking the laws he had made, the old and unchallenged rules.I thought it was impossible for the Volturi to make such a mistake. They are the punishers. Is Caius crazy?

For Claire, vampire love is as terrible as death, and she has no power to resist.

Not to mention that she had forgotten Caius, she couldn't wait to forget the vampire.It's self-inflicted, I laughed.

When Carlisle went out to stop Caius, we all became his backing, hiding in the forest, and the night and snow became the best cover, staining our stiff bodies.This is a battle, and if we do come into conflict with Caius, the family will be doomed.The Volturi won't let us go if we hurt Caius.And there will be no one to help us, there are countless vampires who fear and worship the Volturi.

I've heard inside Jasper that he's expecting the worst, that he doesn't think Claire is more important than Alice.He will take Alice away when necessary, and he will not let Alice die because of offending the Volturi by any means.

He would keep simulating the most tragic battle mode in his mind, how to mobilize all his strength, and use his scarred body to stand in front of Alice.

If something happened to Alice, he would go crazy.

No one knew better than Jasper what to expect from offending the Volturi.

I think it was the first time I actually saw him, and I saw Caius appear at Claire's door, his black cloak blacker than the deepest night sky.The crimson eyes are terribly bright, is he really three thousand years old?He didn't look old and tired at all, his pale skin wasn't fragile due to the long years, he was full of vitality like a newborn vampire.I've seen paintings in Carlyle's room, and apparently he can't be really represented in paintings.

He was hesitating, and I could easily hear his heart.It was a whole new experience, last time Jeopardy made me so nervous I didn't really hear much.This is my task, and I have the right to spy on Caius in order to protect the family.

He was tortured.Singer, that sweet taste is the devil's punishment for vampires.

I couldn't help holding my nose, and the back of my neck trembled. Just hearing his struggle made me unbearable. I don't know how much pain the person is suffering.

Luckily for Claire, Caius's self-control is stronger than any vampire I've met, except for Carlisle, even vegetarian vampires can't match him.

A vampire is in love with a human girl.

What a strange and depressing love.

He was struggling, and he didn't punish us for our sins in the first place. In his mind, all of us who were in the way were sinners who offended him. This is really pedantic arrogance.I don't want to look more schadenfreude, but for me the Volturi guys are miserable and I'll be happy.

He is no longer like an unattainable law-maker, he is just Claire's suitor.Claire's disapproval was enough to destroy him, (yes, I would kill her, it was desperate), I heard his words, it was desperate, his self-esteem kept him from revealing any embarrassment, but the pain even The instinct to crave blood was crushed.The burning of the throat, the burning of ashes is nothing compared to the excruciating pain of being rejected by a loved one.

I hate this pain, Caius's heart affects me.

He wanted to kill, wanted to die with Claire, he was using all his strength to suppress himself, showing his back and not caring about any attack.That kind of sadness was mixed with fear, Caius frantically suppressed the darkness in his heart, (stop, stop this kind of thinking, no one can hurt her, no one can... kill her, use death to leave ...stop), he growled inwardly, so confused that I was shocked, he was afraid that he would actually kill Claire.

I couldn't help but tell him that I hope he can give up this hopeless relationship, it's too heartbreaking and unbelievable.I have never seen such a hopeless relationship, the lovebirds in pairs at home are so sweet that my scalp is numb, but I would rather soak in the tenderness of others forever than hear Kaie again The tragedy of this loss.

"You are already a stranger to her..." I want to persuade him, please give up, I am very sure that Claire is heartless, she did not include Caius when she resisted the lie, so she took it for granted Hypnotized by lies, he forgot Caius.Not out of sympathy, but because I wanted to get rid of this big trouble from the Volturi as soon as possible, I said what Claire couldn't stand the most about vampires.

She couldn't accept a murderer.

Immediately I recalled the days when I was a murderer, and it wasn't so good, the dark days that make me feel guilty about Carlisle now, monster, and I started to hate myself.

Caius did not take Claire away in the end, all of us breathed a sigh of relief, the twilight bloomed in the sky, illuminating all the peaks of the mountains, and we left Claire's house in front of the forest and snow.

Claire must not know that we chased away an unwanted suitor for her. I'd rather she didn't know anything. It's not good for humans to know too much about vampires.

He will come back again - Alice's eyes become distant, she sees the future, after driving Caius away for the first time.

This kind of news does not make people happy at all.We looked at each other for a long time and found that there was nothing we could do about it.We can't really get into a fight with Caius, as long as he doesn't do anything against the law, there's no valid reason to even let him leave Forks.

Big trouble, Rosalie sarcastically.Emmett would have the idea of ​​challenging the Volturi's authority from time to time, it's so stupid, I don't want to see him being torn to pieces by Caius finding a reason.

Carlisle and Esme had a tolerant attitude towards such things, and Caius visited Fox many times late at night during the year.They are sympathizing with Caius... that super trouble, I think Rosalie's evaluation is correct.

As for Claire, she didn't care about anything except the occasional nightmare.

Our visit to Caius has changed from feeling like an enemy to being a little careless. Now I can continue to lie down and read books and listen to music without changing my face. I hope Caius will come back tomorrow, although he often stays for two or three days. .Claire had caught herself spying on her many times, but she thought it was the aftereffect of a nervous breakdown.

We all hope that we can maintain the peace of walking on thin ice and let Claire return to the normal life track.

"Alice." Rosalie called out suddenly, pushing Emmett away.

I was still in the same posture, my eyes were almost closed, I didn't want to sleep, my brain was empty and weak, and the melody of the music occupied most of my attention.This prevented me from noticing Alice's appearance in the first place. When I sat up in surprise and pulled off the earphones, Jasper had already rushed down from the second floor, and he was much faster than a gust of transparent wind.

"What's going on?" Jasper jumped to Alice's side, and he worriedly put his hand on Alice's arm, hoping so hard to give her a comforting hug.

Alice has lost the ability to see reality, her eyes, her vision, the picture she focuses on, that is the future.

She opened her eyes, the center of her honey-yellow eyes was full of thick darkness, her expression seemed to be frozen, and no one could pull her back from that illusory world.

What did she see?I couldn't stop my ability from starting to play out, my eyes blurred and twisted.Then it gradually became clear, and the silent rain took over the trembling images.In the dark night, a figure sitting upright began to appear in the picture.Short blonde hair, I can be sure that this hairstyle is very good, but this is not the point, but I saw Caius, his cold and ruthless face appeared in Alice's prophecy.

In the past, Alice would only see his black cloak, but now she didn't need it, because Caius wore the most common fashion clothes that young people would wear.

That old antique, what does he want to do?

"Cheat." Alice and I whispered out at almost the same time, in no particular order.

"What did you see?" Carlisle asked calmly, coming to us.

Neither Alice nor I had time to answer, because we were sucked into that gigantic vortex called the future, so crazy and bad that you wanted to crawl out, but there was no way out.

——Caius disguised himself as a human and came to Claire.

There was no blur, it was as clear as the movie we had bought tickets for was starting to play.Only when the future hasn't changed at all can Alice see it so clearly, just as she sees the weather forecast ten years from now.

—he wanted Claire to fall in love with him, to make a fragile human girl really fall in love with him.

Let humans fall in love with vampires, in a deceptive way.

This isn't a romance in a movie, it's a mean and shameless real-life hooligan at all.

"Claire, he is not human." I shouted excitedly to Claire, exposing this liar, how could his heart be so despicable, how could he use deception to get this girl.

"No." Alice screamed horribly, trying to stop me, my honesty.

But it's all over, I've said it, in the future, rushing to the school, dragging Claire away from Caius, when I just made this decision in my heart, the futures Alice saw became A pair of bright red eyes.

A pair of eyes that are colder than jewels, furious and crazy.

The contact lenses covering his pupils quickly melted, and the ugly reality was exposed.

——Caius was furious, and all the cruelty turned into malice that he couldn't ask for, and he could no longer maintain his reason.No one can take his lover away, and he can fight the whole world for it.

What kind of love is this, stepping on the bloody corpse all the way, even if he is hated by others, he has no guilt or compassion. He was originally an executioner who walked out of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, and human life has no value to him.

—He killed everybody, Charlie.

Yes, Charlie, Sheriff Swan didn't know vampires existed, but he saw someone trying to take Claire, and pulled out his gun...

Fresh blood, which could almost touch the blood, flowed out, and large pieces of warm red burst out.

I followed Alice's gaze, my pupils constricted, and it was real, a slaughterhouse of horrors.

— Chase, keep chasing.I took Claire to run continuously, crushing the green ferns, jumping up in the dark forest, with the hunter behind us.

These pictures became chaotic and collapsed after being crushed by a stick.I gasped violently unbearably. Alice had never foreseen such a clear and long future, a horror movie, or a mandatory midnight scene that couldn't be left halfway.

It hasn't happened yet, I groan|groan in pain and warn myself, but that's just reality.It seemed that someone around us was calling us, Alice and me.We were frozen for too long, not a second or two, but I lost the specific concept of time, because Alice's prophecy has not ended yet.

It was so easy for Dmitri to find us. No one escaped his pursuit. As long as Caius wanted, he could let Dmitri find anyone in this world.

The picture in Alice's brain broke free from the fragmented cracks, and it became very vivid again - Caius hugged Claire, his arms wrapped around Claire's body, weak and thin, she has not been healthy.She is struggling, but human strength is insignificant, and no one can save her.

— fall in love with me.

All I saw was silence, Caius commanded in anger and desperation, I saw the shape of his mouth.

Love that cannot be obtained is a disaster for vampires.

Promise him, Claire.I stared at Claire, Caius is crazy, don't provoke a madman, I repeated anxiously, "Promise him, promise him first." Even if it's deception, don't resist a predator who is on the verge of collapse .

He will kill you, he will absolutely kill you.

--Do not.

Claire frantically refused, and she lingered at this inhuman murderer with hatred.

The severe dizziness made me want to vomit, and the images in Alice's mind were shattered again, like the intensity of a bomb explosion, and all the images burned quickly.

— Forced transformation.

Caius injected the venom into her artery, he hugged Claire tightly, his sharp teeth tore the main artery in her neck so easily, the blood flowed out, and the long pale blond hair was covered with blood.Claire began to shake, and she wept weakly.I know how painful that process is, no matter how brave and fearless human beings are, they cannot bear the excruciating pain during the transition.

But I didn't see the process of Claire's transformation, a large number of complicated and chaotic pictures passed by like the speed of light.

"Alice, stop." I covered my face, almost grabbing a piece of cold hard flesh from my face. I couldn't bear to watch these scenes.It was so tragic that I couldn't get out of it, and it was all too clear that it was going to happen, in the near future.Charlie will be killed casually by Caius, the Punisher from Volturi is so cruel that human life is nothing, Caius must not know how big a mistake he made, he killed all the humans around Claire .

He used Fox as a battlefield and slaughtered all those who resisted him.

He's going to drive Claire crazy.

I can't believe that this will be Claire's future, even if I don't look at it, I know that after the human beings with hatred are transformed into vampires, Claire will be tortured by this hatred, and she will try her best to murder Caius.

But she couldn't kill Caius, even if she was a newborn, the strongest newborn couldn't kill Caius.Caius had trained a large army of newborns, and I heard Carlyle talk about his history, fighting in Romania.Just suppressing a newborn vampire with no combat experience was not difficult for him at all.He could even imprison Claire in Volterra forever, he has that power and power.

This is no longer bad. Hatred will become Claire's eternal pain. When I think of what happened to Claire, my heart is immediately hit by a sharp pain. "Impossible, this is impossible, Alice." I jumped up from the sofa vigorously, bared my teeth, and protested loudly to Alice.

Alice was still standing where she was, she seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, and her whole body was exhausted and dazed.The horror remained in her eyes, and she was as helpless as a child.

She knew, too, very well of Claire's doomed future.

We understand Claire's character, if she can't take revenge, and Caius doesn't let her go, then she will try her best to commit suicide.I began to regret having told Claire so much about vampires, that vampires can self-destruct as long as there is a flame.

This is completely different from the self-sacrifice Claire chose for the law.She chose to die for her own dignity, which is completely opposite to the death of being forced to change and finally committing suicide.

Everyone looked at us, and Alice panted heavily. She didn't want to see this, the future that was so cruel that it was more accurate than the weather forecast.

"She will die, Edward."

Neither Alice nor I had the strength to explain it to our family in detail, and Alice repeated, "She must die."

"It hasn't happened yet." I don't admit it, Alice's affirmation irritates me, I hope she can calm down, nothing happened.

"Why?" Alice asked softly, exhausted, her eyes had turned completely black, her strength was overused, and her body rapidly consumed the blood storage in her body.

I heard Alice's heart condemn me, and I looked at her sadly, irrefutable.

"Tell me why?" Alice yelled violently, and in an instant she was in front of me and punched me hard in the face.

I didn't resist, my head was stunned by her force, and my whole body leaned back.I could hear the skin crunching on my face, and if I were human, I would definitely have a nosebleed.

"Alice, calm down." Carlisle shifted and came between me and Alice. He grabbed Alice's wrist, and Jasper hugged her from behind.But Alice was still accusing me, and I thought she was on the verge of tears. "Why did you expose him? You exposed Caius' conspiracy. You killed Claire."

The last sentence shocked everyone who didn't know the truth, Esme looked at us in surprise, she murmured softly, "Claire?"

If no one exposes Caius' identity, turns him into a human, and comes to Claire, then he can get his love.

Deceit, it is a deception at all.

"Such a sinister conspiracy, don't we want to watch Claire be deceived." The anger swallowed the last of my reason, and the angry words turned into a sharp sword, smashing the last barrier.I looked at Alice without needing to blink at all.Jasper noticed my strangeness vigilantly. He squinted his eyes, and a certain tranquility suddenly fell. He controlled everyone's uneasy emotions and forced us to calm down.

"Are you going to make the picture I saw just now real? Anything can happen. If you expose Caius, it will happen." Alice leaned against Jasper, her face stuck to the Jasper's chest, letting her lover hold her.

"Even if we deceive Claire, won't Caius be exposed? Vampires are completely different from humans, and Claire will notice it by himself." Claire is not slow, she is sometimes surprisingly sensitive.I don't think Caius can deceive her so easily. Is there any difference between my exposure and Claire's exposure?

"Okay, because Caius doesn't need to fall in love for a long time, as long as Claire believes that he is human, even if it is only for a week, then..." Alice tried her best to convince me that she knew what she was talking about, and she was betraying Claire.

Just to save her.Even if it means betraying the friendship and trust of a friend.

"Yes, with Caius' sinister and treacherous character, it may take less than a week for Claire to fall in love with him... Are you sure it's love? Claire thinks Caius is human, as long as she let go of her guard, even if it's just Have a little affection for Caius, then Caius succeeded, a big lie, I saw his conspiracy. That is not love at all, that is deception."

With Claire's character, it is impossible for her to fall in love with someone completely in a week, let alone someone like Caius.But as long as that conspiracy succeeds, the so-called love will fall on Claire.

She will fall in love with Caius, simple and fast, as long as she has some good feelings.

A disgraceful scam.

I can't stand such a false trick, but the price may be Claire's life.

Alice fell silent, and Jasper's ability couldn't stop her from being decadent and sad. She slumped her shoulders, and her clear eyes dimmed.

"But we have no choice, Edward, I saw it, if none of us expose it, then the ending will be intact." Alice said softly, but there was nothing in her brain, she did not see the so-called intact what the future is.

Her abilities are unstable, and if I don't change my mind, then she won't be able to see a future where I don't expose the conspiracy.

I'm confused now, I know what it means to be Caius' accomplice.It took me a long time to make up my mind, Alice and I watched each other, we knew each other so well.

"This is betrayal, Alice. You know what Caius is here for. If we deceive Claire, it means his ambition will come true. Claire will believe us, even if she notices Caius' unusualness, she will Choose to believe him because of us." I loathed myself for thinking about betraying my friend, and it cracked my voice and took a lot of effort to finish every sentence.

"She will fall in love with Caius." Alice insisted on her own opinion, and no one could convince her. She followed her own prophecy and followed the tide to believe in the result that fate made her see.

"It was just a lie." I fought back her words with difficulty, and I was almost convinced by her, because Claire's miserable future crushed my persistence.

"No, Edward, that's love," said Alice gravely, with a melancholy on her brow darker than Forks' rain-cloud.

"Fictitious love based on deceit." I sneered, disdainful of the peace that comes from this kind of deceit.

"Okay, Edward." Carlisle felt it was time to pull us away, he might have figured out what we were talking about, and soon he reached out and grabbed me, "Follow me to the study, and tell me what happened, To be precise, what exactly is the impending catastrophe."

Esme followed us into the study, wondering more than anyone about Claire's future.

I heard Alice's sighs behind me, and there was nothing she could do, so she was as sad as I was.

Super big trouble, Rosalie's crow's mouth is correct enough to replace Alice's position.

While smoothing out my disorganized thoughts, I carefully described what Alice saw.Carlisle and Esme glanced at each other, and they held hands firmly.

This is terrible, Esme said in her heart, she didn't think for a few seconds before standing on Alice's side, choosing to deceive Claire and avoid the future that was doomed to tragedy.Carlisle is relatively calm, he is still choosing in his heart, hoping to come up with a correct decision.

Carlisle's contemplation was quickly interrupted, and Alice's voice came clearly, "He's here."

We knew who she was talking about almost instantly. In less than half a second, all of us appeared in the living room on the first floor. Just as we stood there, three figures suddenly appeared, with the coldness of the rainstorm on their bodies. , Floating from the deep forest.

I saw Caius, and behind him two guards in gray cloaks, Demetrius and Alec, the two toughest guys.

It may have been our greatest luck that Jane did not come.

Dmitry quickly opened the door and they walked in.

"Your visit is welcome, Caius." Carlisle said with a smile, and he went up to them, seeming to welcome them sincerely.

In fact, no one here welcomed his arrival, we looked at him indifferently.

I noticed that his attire was completely changed, that all the strict and ancient finery had disappeared into the youthful clothes on him.There are no cloaks, and no noble patterns.His hair is no longer meticulous, the cut hair is naturally loose, and a few strands of golden hair become bangs and stick to his cheeks.

With a super transformation, who would believe that he is an out-and-out antique.

I suspect that the hairstylist who cut his hair is dead. Everyone knows that hair is something that can never be regenerated for vampires.

Caius grinned grimly, inwardly ridiculing our hypocrisy.

"I'll stay here for a while, Carlisle." His voice was friendly and high-pitched, but there was a mockery in his expression.

Coming, I looked at him nervously.

I knew what he was going to say, everything, and I was about to rush over and kill him.

"Of course, if you want." Carlisle had no choice, he had to say it, even if he didn't want to.

"As a human being." Caius slowly straightened his lips, which looked like a beautiful and evil smile under the incandescent light.
