[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Edmund's birthday was December 12, which happened to be Christmas.

So the unfortunate boy received almost no birthday presents.

Those who knew him were often so carried away by the Christmas cheer that they forgot his birthday. —even his brother.

However, now is not like before.

This year's Christmas, Edmund spent his first birthday in memory at Cullen's house.

Speaking of birthdays. - Then it means that they will carry out some very traditional activities: making wishes, blowing out candles, cutting cakes, and giving gifts.

Not one is missing.

And in order not to "steal [I don't know if this word will be harmonious, but it's better to separate it for the sake of safety]" to the boy's privacy, Edward even put on earphones when he made a wish. Very rhythmic rock music. —which made Emmett feel sorry.He had expected to know from Edward what their little brother's wish was.He definitely doesn't believe in things like "If you say your wish, it won't come true".

How are they supposed to make their wish come true if they don't say it? ——To a certain extent, this view is quite correct.

There are 7 people in the Cullen family except Edmund.Each of them insisted on giving him a double gift. - One for a birthday and one for Christmas.

When the boy was led by Alice to the Christmas tree piled with presents and removed the black silk scarf covering his eyes, he was so surprised that he almost stared out his beautiful blue eyes.

A total of 14 beautifully wrapped gift boxes were stacked under the Christmas tree full of stars, ribbons and bells. —Edmund swore he had never seen so many presents in his life.

"This...these are all... all mine?"

"Of course, Ed. - Open it and have a look!" Alice stepped forward happily, bent down to pick up a box closest to her, and handed it to Edmund. "We're all looking forward to your reaction when you see them."

reaction?

Of course, I am very happy and like it very much.

Edward gave him an out-of-print CD and a white Walkman.

Alice's presents were a beautiful light blue cashmere hat and black boots.

Jasper's presents were a Swiss Army knife and a beautiful picture of snowboards.

Emmett insisted on giving him a perfectly shaped, creamy--tusk?He is said to have plucked it from a bear that had just come out of hibernation.Oh, and of course a nice little red stereo.

"They all stick to the blue stuff, but I think you'd be perfect for a bright red," Emmett explains.

Edmund also liked Rosalie's gift very much. ——She gave him a movie theater VIP card with a deposit of 1000 US dollars, and a pair of exquisite 3D glasses.

Esme's gift was a nice big box (filled with baked brownies) and a hand-knitted sweater. ——According to Edward, these two gifts were made by herself.

And Carlisle's gift is - a new IBM this year and an exquisite photo album.

Any of the above would make Edmund feel that his Christmas presents were too poor to be handed out. —maybe he should ditch that stupidly stupid Christmas present and buy something a little more refined sometime around?But apparently he didn't have the time to go to town.

So, after the initial surprise and joy, the boy seemed to be depressed.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle, who was most sensitive to boys' emotions, first discovered this problem.

"Well—that—I suddenly feel that my presents are a bit out of hand." Edmund held his head in his hands and whimpered, "They—um—how should I say—too, too cheap."

"Oh! Don't worry about that! We all loved your gift! You know, I can see it." Alice winked at him.

"Go get it, Ed!—we're all looking forward to it." Carlisle nodded to Alice, and pushed the boy toward the stairs.

"Well—well...but they're all outside the house—wait for me."

The boy took the overcoat that Carlisle handed over, put on his boots and ran out of the house, and returned to the living room with a big box covered in a little snow after a while.

"Well—it's all inside." With a blushing face, Edmund stammered and handed the white cardboard box to Alice, then ran behind Carlisle and hid himself tightly.

Inside the large chest were seven beautiful iron boxes, marked with notes on which they belonged.

"A very beautiful snow rabbit." Carlisle smiled and put the little thing made of Snow White in his palm, then winked at Edward. ——The latter smiled proudly in understanding.

"Oh! Ed!" Esme grabbed the boy hiding behind Carlisle and held him in his arms. "I didn't expect you to give us this.—We all like it, thank you!"

"But it's just a snow--"

"Did I say we all loved it!" Alice lifted her chin, interrupting the boy, "Edward told us the story of 'The Little Snow Bunny at Christmas' very kindly. So we all know you will only Give them to someone you love."

Edmund froze for a moment, then turned to look at Edward. ——The latter is still smiling very brightly.

"Hey! Ed, you almost never mentioned your past, and finally recalled it once, and I heard it, so I shared it with them.——You won't blame me, right?" The man who lived 100 years ago The old vampire brother smiled like a kid who secretly helped a neighbor repair a fence, but was finally noticed by the neighbor. —with a touch of apology and a touch of pleasure eager to be praised.

"Thank you, Edward. . . . but I still feel—it's too embarrassing." The boy covered his face in Esme's neck, blushing again.

Emmett laughed from the sidelines. —The way the boy blushed was so funny!If Carlisle wasn't nearby, he might have leaned over to tease his little brother hard.

And as for Rosalie and Jasper. ——These two high-cold characters generally don't easily reveal their happy mood.The latter is due to military habits, while the former—

It's because she is arrogant.

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

The day after Christmas, the Karen family drove to the McKinley Mountains in south-central Alaska. — they spent an unforgettable week in the wilderness here.

Because the sunspot activity happened to be intense this year, the aurora here became particularly bright and dazzling, and even a rare red aurora appeared. —which made Edmund, the little boy who had "never seen the world," almost sleepless with excitement.

Several times, when it was time to go to bed in the middle of the night, Edmund sneaked out of the tent, exposed his little furry head and shot at the family members by the campfire, "I want to watch the aurora, I don't want to sleep, what are you playing with?" Don't let me go back to the tent alone, it's too boring, the aurora is so beautiful, if you don't look at it, you won't be able to see it when you go home," the longing eyes.

Rosalie, who had no resistance to the boy's expectant eyes, naturally agreed a hundred times.

Edward, Jasper, and Alice all thought it was okay to play with them if they couldn't fall asleep.

And Emmett—

"Hey! Boy! Don't look at me like that!—your look makes me hungry."

"..."

So the only real objections are Carlisle and Esme, the two top ten parents.

"Esme, Carlisle. I don't want to go back to the tent...let me stay here!" Recently, I found that as long as I behave like a child to my family, I will be surrounded by Edmund who will do everything possible He quickly crossed the open space under the blanket, kicked his legs, and jumped on Carlisle like a nimble little monkey.

The latter laughed, and easily reached out to support the boy's buttocks, letting him stay safely in his arms.

Carlisle: "Half an hour."

Edmund: "One hour."

Carlisle: "Forty minutes."

Edmund: "An hour and a half."

Carlisle: "An hour and 15 minutes."

Edmund: "Two hours."

Carlisle: "An hour and a half, no more."

"Deal!" Edmund, who had succeeded in his scheme, smiled very brightly, "You've been talking for an hour and a half, don't be fooled."

"...As you wish." Carlisle touched the boy's head helplessly. ——It's hard to believe that he was actually surrounded by this guy in his arms just now.

"Carlisle." Esme said reproachfully.

"It's okay, Esme." Carlisle let go of the boy and watched as he bent over and threw a snowball at Emmett. "I'll take him back to bed when the time comes."

So Edmund, who was going to watch Aurora, was forcibly taken away by Emmett to play with his brothers and sisters. —they piled a silly Edward next to the stone pile, and had a really big snowball fight.

Because the boy was a weak human being, so when the vampires started snowballing, he had to stay with Carlisle in case he was killed by those snowballs that were flying as fast as bullets.

Looking at the "battlefield" in front of him, Edmund only had two feelings——

One, it's boring.

Two, it's still boring.

Because he couldn't see where Snowball was, and he could hardly see the figures of those vampires.So after a long time, he was so sleepy that he didn't know where to go. ——The little furry head gradually lowered, and then raised up abruptly after reaching a certain level.This cycle has been repeated several times, and it looks like a chick looking for food.

"I'm taking him to bed." Carlisle reached out and pulled the boy into his arms, adjusting his position so that the latter would be more comfortable.

"Okay.—I'll just watch them, and you can stay with Ed." Esme blinked, "He's always been the most clingy to you."

"It's my honor." Carlisle smiled softly.
