[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

It is often said that young children have a certain wild instinct. — don't know if the other children have, but Edmund has.

The boy's intuition made him sensitive to Carlisle not telling him the truth, but he didn't say it. ——This sensible boy also chose to respect that gentle doctor.

If Carlisle didn't tell him, then he just pretended not to notice.

Everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others.

And all he can do is not to touch this secret.This is a good thing for both yourself and the other party. —he was convinced of it.

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

School life is extremely boring for Edmund.

Monday, English, History, Geometry, Algebra.

Tuesday, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geometry.

Wednesday, Chemistry, Music, English, German.

Thursday, Algebra, Physical Education, Biology, History.

Friday, English, German, Sports, Biology.

Even if there are a lot of practical activities to make adjustments, it seems so pale.

But at least it's better than lying in bed.

Edmund yawned, blocked the teacher's sight with a thick English textbook, and lowered his head to seriously calculate a very complicated algebra problem. ——Today is the first time he has stepped into school since he recovered from his injury.

It is worth celebrating that Professor Kirk actually left him a vacant seat. ——For a professor who has been dissatisfied with him for a long time, this is nothing short of a miracle.

With Edmund's repeated calculations, the one-hour English class passed quickly.

The crisp bell rang, and the boy finally stepped out of the classroom as he wished, and began to walk towards the cafeteria along the route he remembered.

"Hey! Edmund!" Alexander Jones, who took the first-year biology class with him, came out of Professor Brown's classroom next door, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Long time no see! How are you?"

"Long time no see, Alexander. Thanks to you, I look good recently." Edmund yawned again, but still walked fast. "Oh, yes.—For God's sake, don't talk to me about that."

"Oh, of course.—I didn't mean to ask you...for lunch?"

"pretty good idea."

Edmund sat down in front of Alexander with a tray, and was just about to finish off the tempting pasta in front of him when he was picked up by his collar.

The tall and strong-looking boy on the opposite side was Gail Algernon, the leader of the school football team and a loyal suitor of Susan Smith. ——He and Edmund had disliked each other since they entered the school.

"Good afternoon, Gail." Edmund didn't look flustered at all, but greeted the burly boy who was almost twice his width in a particularly casual tone.

"Don't call me by my Christian name, Pace.—it makes me sick," said the boy, frowning viciously. "You made Susan cry."

"Oh—what Susan?" said Edmund knowingly.

"Which one else?! There is only one beautiful girl in our grade!"

"Oh, Susan Smith," said the boy thoughtfully, "why is she crying?"

"Fake it, Pace!" shrieked a little mouse-like boy behind Gail, "we all know she visited you in the hospital that day!—but you kicked her out of the ward ungratefully." Come out! It's spread all over the school! What do you think she is? Huh?"

"Oh.—I remember." Edmund blinked. "That's right.—She was in the hospital that day. And I did throw her out.—Is there a problem? "

"How dare you do that to the girl I like!" Gail snarled like a pig slamming against the railing angrily because he couldn't eat enough, which made Edmund feel quite ridiculous, "I want you Apologize to her!"

"Apologize?" repeated the boy in a low voice, "Oh, yes. I knew you would say that.—But I refused to apologize.—It was her rudeness first.—When I needed a break Chattering and chattering for two hours, that's why I had to ask her to leave."

"Listen, Pace.--Don't speak ill of Susan! Or I'll make you go all the way."

"Oh, how about it? Do you want to slap me to death with a bench?" The boy narrowed his blue eyes and said mercilessly, "I thought you would have a better idea."

"I don't think there is any need for a bench to deal with you!"

Then he directly showed his fist and swung at Edmund——

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

"I don't understand!—Mr. Pace! How can you do such a thing, you are a good student?"

Mrs. Gray, Dean of Studies, frowned at the two boys standing in front of her. ——To be honest, when she heard a student come over and say that Edmund Paes was fighting with others, she thought it was a big joke.

In her opinion, Edmund was a very good and sensible child, except for his refusal to do homework, he was almost the object that all students needed to learn from.

"It was he who provoked first, Ms. Gray." Edmund said, looking up.

"You're talking nonsense, Pace!—You obviously don't know what to do—"

"I didn't hit someone just because they didn't want to apologize."

"That's what you asked for!"

"Self-inflicted? No, Algernon, I swear I'm not bored enough to have someone beat me.—especially when I'm getting ready for lunch."

Gail was furious with Edmund, he swung his arms round again and wrestled with the boy beside him.

"For God's sake!--stop it! Boys!"

"I——want—to—teach you—a lesson!" Gail ignored Mrs. Gray's words as if he were deaf.He punches hard with every word, "You—no one wants—bastard!"

Edmund, who was only focused on defense, suddenly raised his leg and kicked Gail in the stomach.

"Who are you calling a bastard?!" Edmund frowned and grabbed Gail's collar and yelled, "Say it again?!"

"It's about you!!!—Little Evil!!!" Gail also began to growl, "I've heard it all!!! Edmund Pace!!!—You really bring me wherever you stay. Here Comes the Trouble!!!--Look at the Hall Orphanage!!!What happened at the end?!Fire!!!Half the children didn't get out!!!--Look at the young Pace couple!!! !Killed with guns and daggers!!!Even your brother was taken in!!!——But why didn't you die? Why didn't you die?! So many people left why are you so stupid? Xing is still alive?! How many more people do you want to kill?! I bet you will definitely go to hell, Pace!!!”

The hand that was gripping Gail's collar fell silently.

The boy stared blankly at Gail, whose face was flushed red from anger.

He suddenly didn't know what to do.

Shout back?Tell him it's not what he says it is?

Or just beat him up?

No, I can't move. —a taut nerve in his brain snapped with Gale's roar.

【No matter where you stay, you will bring disaster! ! ! 】

[So many people have left, why are you, the evil star, still alive? ! 】

[How many more people do you want to kill? ! 】

Edmund fell to the ground stiffly with clenched fists.

He had been avoiding thinking about it himself. ——Why are they all dead but still alive?

[No, Edmund.this is not your fault.It's definitely not because of you that they have an accident. 】——Said a villain in his mind.

[However——it would be too much to call it a coincidence.Basically, everyone you get close to has experienced something bad.The orphanage kids, Peter, the Paces, even Carlisle. —if he had stayed that half a second that night, he might have been knocked out whole by the truck.And you don't have much to worry about. —Because he took good care of you. 】——Another villain immediately refuted.

【You are not a malevolent star. —That’s all superstition.Don't take their word for it. 】

[No, you are.Otherwise, how to explain the series of "coincidences"? 】

[This is the world of science, my dear, don't take his word for it. 】

[Think about your experience, Edmund. —You're always in trouble, aren't you?You are a careful person, but why is trouble always haunting you? 】

[No, honey, it's not your fault. 】

[Of course this is your fault. 】

【no. 】

[How could it not be? 】

"Enough, Mister Algernon!!! Stop it!!! Stop hitting!!!"

Mrs. Gray stretched out her dry hands and grabbed Gale from the boy. ——It's unbelievable that she has so much strength.

"Mr. Pace, are you all right?"

"..." The boy was lying on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Tears welled up in those blue eyes that were originally blue like the clear sky. ——But they can only swirl in the eye sockets, and they haven't overflowed from beginning to end.

"Cowards! — just got punched a few times, like a girl with red eyes!" Gail sneered.

"Shut up, Mr. Algernon! Otherwise, I will have to punish you for probation! —Mr. Pace? Edmund?" Mrs. Gray squatted down in concern, "Are you all right?"

The boy shook his head.Mrs. Gray was relieved now.

"Come, stand up, my boy."

Edmund stood up slowly following Mrs. Gray's movement, and leaned against the wall.

"You, Monsieur Algernon.—I want you to apologize to the boy right now," said Mrs. Gray sharply. "What you just said went too far."

"But ma'am—I—"

"No argument! - I'll call your family and tell them how you made a personal attack on a classmate - and Mr. Pace - OH MY GOD!!! EDMOND?!"

Mrs. Gray's eyes widened as the boy fell suddenly to the ground.

"Playing pitiful again." Gail muttered.

Mrs. Gray gave him a glare, walked around the desk and put the boy's head in her hands.

"Dear, are you alright?"

No one answered her.

"My God! Call an ambulance!—Mr. Algernon! Call the hospital now!" said Mrs. Gray in horror.

"He's pretending, lady!—you don't believe him!"

"Pretend?! Can you pretend like this?!"

Gale glanced at Edmund nonchalantly, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed towards the phone on the desk like crazy.

The boy's face was as pale as parchment.Even his lips—the lips that were red just a second ago—had become the same color as his cheeks.

There is one word that can describe Edmund's current state——

already dead.

The author has something to say: This is for tonight~~~

Finally on the 3000 there is wood! ! !sprinkle flowers~~~

Ed is too fateful, is there any reason?Went in again shortly after leaving the hospital. ——But how can you meet Katie if you don’t go in?
