[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Obviously, Edmund has only two choices now.

One, he didn't have Edward's cell phone number, so he had to call Carlisle, have Carlisle call Edward, and return the oil.

Second, go to the supermarket again.

The poor boy thought for a while and decided to choose the latter. ——It’s just a barrel of oil, and there’s no need to mobilize people like this.He had caused enough trouble for Carlisle.

But when Edmund stood at the door of the supermarket again, he found tragically that the supermarket was closed.

Today's bad luck couldn't be worse.

The boy put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket and couldn't help sighing, then walked home slowly.

He really wasn't used to living alone. ——In the past, he didn't have to worry about trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Basically, Mrs. Pace and Peter were helping him.

"It's just the beginning.—Take it easy, it'll get better," muttered Edmund, crossing the sidewalk to take a short cut home.

"Alice? My dear, what did you see?" Jasper blinked, and looked at the dark-haired girl in his arms with a doting smile.

But in the next second Jasper pursed his lips and became very serious. ——Because he sensed Alice's emotional changes.

in a hurry?anger?Maybe with a little panic?

"Alice?"

"...Oh, my God! Ed is in danger!—we've got to tell Carlisle about it right away!" Alice jumped up, took Jasper's hand and immediately ran to Carlisle's room.

The vampires run like a gust of wind. ——So when Alice and Jasper appeared in Carlisle's study, the second hand only moved two and a half frames.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle looked away from the case of a heart patient. "What happened?"

"I saw a few men, um, they were robbers." Alice grabbed the clothes on her chest, forcing herself not to think about the scene of the boy lying in a pool of blood, "They killed Edmund.— — because he wouldn't give them money."

Concise and straight to Carlisle's nerves.

With a "click", the black pen that was originally held in his hand broke into two abruptly.Blue-black ink spilled from the sac and stained the desk, the paper, and Carlisle's hands.

But the focus of the latter is obviously not there.

"When did this happen?"

"About 08:30, in a dark alley in the town. ——I'm not very familiar with the town, so I can't tell which road it is."

"It's 07:30, we still have time.—Calm down, Carlisle," Jasper began. "We can stop it."

"I know." Carlisle stood up abruptly from his chair, ignoring the pen that rolled down on the white carpet, "Jasper, can you call Edward? He should be not far from the town now .”

Jasper nodded, and immediately turned to leave.

"Alice, call Edmund. If he answers, tell him I'm at his door, and tell him to come home quickly.—Don't take the lane."

"Of course.—Take it easy, Carlisle. He'll be all right."

"Thank you, Alice."

——————————————————————————————————————

Edward turned around and drove back to town immediately after receiving Jasper's call.

At this time, he was tracking the boy's scent while checking the brains of the people around him, hoping to see a beautiful hybrid with black hair and blue eyes in their minds.

This small town is not very big, but Edward almost went around it three times without finding Edmund. ——He smelled the boy's scent several times, but when he chased him halfway, he found that the boy's smell had disappeared at the entrance of an alley.

This is too strange. ——That boy seemed to have evaporated from the world.

So he took out his mobile phone and called Alice, telling her that he hadn't found the boy.The answer Alice gave was that no one answered the phone and she couldn't see Edmund anymore.

This made Edward quite anxious. ——When Alice can't see a human being, there is usually only one situation: that person is dead.

"Did you tell Carlisle?"

"Not yet.—It's going to kill him."

"Don't tell him yet, I'll look for it later. ——If Edmund really had an accident, it's impossible not to shed even a little blood."

But the search results are still worrisome.

Half an hour later, he met Carlisle.

"Edward.—found it?"

The latter could only shake his head helplessly, "I've been around here at least a dozen times, but I just can't find him."

Carlisle frowned, his expression serious and frightening.

"He'll be fine, Carlisle." Edward saw the scene that unconsciously emerged in Carlisle's mind, so he also felt his panic and fear.But he couldn't do anything other than comfort him.

Heavy snow fell from the sky one after another, and fell piece by piece on the ground that had begun to freeze.The road was quickly covered up.The bell of the church in the town came from afar, no more, no less, exactly nine.

As soon as the bell stopped, the door of the only open fast food restaurant on the side of the road was pushed open from the inside.

"It's too slow to prepare food.—But the taste is quite good."

A little boy with a white hat came out of the fast food restaurant quickly. ——He just had a full meal in this restaurant, so he is still in a happy mood at this time.

As for the edible oil...let's buy it after he leaves school tomorrow. ——The barrel of oil he forgot on the Volvo should be given to the Cullen family as a gift.After all, he had caused Carlisle a lot of trouble when he was in the hospital.

When turning the corner of the street, the boy inadvertently caught sight of two tall and straight figures on the side of the road.

Then the pair of beautiful blue eyes immediately sparked with joy——

"Hey!!! Doctor Cullen!!! Edward!!!" Edmund waved at the two, then quickly jumped down the steps and ran to the other side of the road.

At the same time, the boy heard a strange sound.

It was a sharp screech of brakes. —and the volume is surprisingly loud.
