[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

For this small town that is always "followed" by clouds and fog, continuous sunny days are really rare.

As the temperature rose and the fog drifted away, people in the town took out their long-standing recliners and placed them in the yard to lie on them to enjoy the warmth and dryness brought by the spring sunshine.

The Cullen vampires are no exception.

Alice is in a good mood today.

She was rubbing back and forth with the cookies she had just taken out of the box, waiting for them to turn into a powder before throwing them into the woods next to the house.

A little snowbird immediately jumped down from the green branch and landed on the brown ground, pecking at the "falling from the sky" food with its milky white beak.

"Alice." Carlisle called softly to his daughter standing on the steps of the house, "Sorry, Jasper. May I bother you?"

Jasper, standing next to the dark-haired girl, smiled and nodded.

In the next second, Carlisle appeared beside the two of them.

"Can you see Ed?" Carlisle said quickly.

"Well - I could see it a few hours ago. He participated in the mountain climbing competition with another boy." Alice said, holding her chin, "but I haven't seen it since noon...Ed is just too special , I have never met such a human being before.—Is there something wrong, Carlisle?"

"You can read that: he's worried." Emmett hopped off a pine branch, bringing with him a shower of pine needles and a small brown squirrel that was shaken off before he could jump off the pine branch.

The latter yelled angrily, but Emmett raised her eyebrows in displeasure, and showed her pair of white fangs at it.

The other three vampires in the yard all smiled.

No wonder Emmett always got to play with Edmund. ——Although he has lived for more than 70 years, he still looks like a child who can't grow up.

"How long has the little guy been away? You miss him so much, Carlisle!" Emmett forced herself not to catch the escaped squirrel, and said happily with open arms, "Didn't the little guy just call in the morning? Don't worry Come on! Ed won't leave you alone!"

"He's right.—Of course, I bet that if Ed had to choose between Carlisle and Emmett, he'd definitely choose you, Carlisle." Alice blinked, "He's so dependent on you. "

Carlisle smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"Hey! That's not fair!—I'm the one who's been playing with him!" Emmett grinned and protested. "We're the two of the best Cullens!"

But those present ignored his growl.

Edward stretched on the sofa, then stood up and put the novel in his hand back on the shelf. - He has been in the house for a full 24 hours, it is time to go downstairs to show up and chat with his family.

All the vampires in the family stay in the living room.

The TV set on the low cabinet was removed and replaced by a large curtain, which was showing a comedy movie just released this year. — This is Emmett and Rosalie's new favorite, and there is no doubt that it can't feel better to watch movies on it.

"Hey, Edward." Alice greeted him first, "Would you like to watch it together?"

"of course."

Edward pulled a stool over and sat down beside Alice.

When Emmett laughed happily for the sixth time, the phone rang at home.

"I'll pick it up." Esme said with a smile, "Keep watching, kids."

The gentle parent stood up, reached out and picked up the white receiver——

And what the vampires heard next almost made them growl.

"Hello, is this the Karen family?"

"Yes, I'm Esme Cullen."

"Hi, ma'am. I'm Tom Brad, a teacher at Kinglungar Secondary School. Are you Edmund Cullen's mother?" The other party's voice sounded a bit—painful?

"Oh, yes, sir. Please—"

"Ms. Karen, I think you have the right to know the news—" the other party paused for two seconds, and then said clearly, "I'm sorry, your son is missing."

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

The boy moved his eyelids after being in a coma for a long time, revealing those beautiful azure blue pupils that were still steamy. ——He was stunned by the free fall a few hours ago, and even though he is awake now, he still doesn't understand what happened.

I don't even know if I'm dead or not.

Then, it took about a few more minutes before he gradually recovered. ——The feeling that disappeared for a long time returned bit by bit, and the scene in front of me gradually became clearer.

He saw the orange glow of the flashlight, the hideous tangle of roots around the cave, and Gale's worried face.

"You scared me to death, Edmund!" Gail really relaxed when he woke up, and then sobbed, "I thought you were thrown to death!"

The boy gasped, and just as he was about to speak, he felt a pungent liquid spurt from the depths of his throat and flow back into the air intake. — blood sprayed from his muzzle and fell down his cheeks onto the dry ground.

"Oh!!! God!!! Don't move and don't make a sound!!! Lie down!!!" Gail exclaimed, and then took out a pack of toilet paper that had just been opened from his backpack Start helping him clean the blood on his face.

Edmund closed his eyes and rested for a moment before opening them again.

"I think you may have hurt your internal organs." Gail said softly, "I was a little luckier than you. When I fell, my backpack hung on a few tree roots, which acted as a buffer. Fortunately, the bottom is dry. Dirt and sand, otherwise we would have been knocked to death if we didn't fall."

"Cough... Actually, I also got a buffer: I hit two big rocks.——What time is it?" Edmund swallowed, and then said softly. —Damn it, his chest hurts so bad he could almost hang him.

"It's evening.—About twelve o'clock, I just looked at my electronic watch not long ago."

"Where's the phone?"

"No signal. ——I thought I could light a cigarette for help, but the hole is too deep. I'm afraid the smoke will kill us both before it comes out."

"Can we climb it?"

"There are a lot of rocks protruding above, we can try.——but not now, you need to rest. And the forest at night is too dark and scary, I don't want to go up."

There was a long silence—

"I don't want to be here.—I want to go home," Gale trilled. "I miss my mom."

"Me too."

Edmund just closed his eyes and imagined what his family looked like, and his eyes couldn't help but start to feel sore.

"When was the last time you called home?" Gail picked at the dirt next to him, tears streaming down his face.

"This morning."

"I took a break at noon today. ——This is too bad. They may not get a call from us until this time the next day before they think about contacting us."

"No, it won't. If Mr. Brad can't find us, he will definitely contact our family, you can rest assured." The boy gasped. ——It is not difficult for him to imagine the reaction of his family members after receiving the call.

They must be very anxious. ——Leave work or studies and come to him, and then give him a hard lesson, and even won't allow him to come out to play alone in the future.

Thinking of this, Edmund felt that he was really wronged.

The boy finally persuaded the vampires in the family to let him out to play... You must know that only Emmett, Esme and Alice were really in favor when they voted, oh no, vampires.Therefore, in order to be able to participate in school activities, it took him almost three full days to make Carlisle change his mind...

This is just great. ——After such a thing, if the school holds this kind of activity again, he can voluntarily abstain from voting.

Blame Gail the idiot! ! !No common sense at all! ! !Taking photos of wild animals in the wild without turning off the flash! ! ! ——If Edmund still had the strength to grit his teeth at this time, he would definitely make a "creaking" grinding sound.

But when he watched Gail curled up silently and rubbed his eyes intermittently, the anger in his heart was like being thrown out by the exhaust fan, and he couldn't resent him.

He didn't mean to.And—he should feel more uneasy than himself.

Because Gail's parents are normal people, unlike him. —The family members are all vampires.They can easily do things that ordinary people cannot do.He knew they would come for him in person, so he wasn't too worried about staying here until he died.

"Gail." The boy said softly.

"Ok?"

"They will find us." Edmund comforted patiently, "Don't be sad."

"Um……"

"We'll climb up at dawn. If we stay here, the chances of being discovered are too small." Even vampires can't guarantee that they can catch the smell in the burrow.

"I'm fine, but what about you?"

"Try it when the time comes. ——If it really doesn't work, you can go up alone." Edmund said firmly, "I'll stay here."

"No!!! How could I leave you alone in this kind of place!!!" Gail jumped up excitedly, the veins on his forehead throbbing, "Don't even think about it!!! I'm not that kind of person!! Both of us have to go up tomorrow morning!!! If you can't do it, I can carry you on the back!!!——After all... After all, you are dragged down by me..."

The boy widened his eyes. — Gale undoubtedly misunderstood him.He didn't want to stay here waiting to die, but wanted him to leave here for help first, and then bring them back to pick him up after finding someone...

However, what the other party said moved him quite a lot.

Carlisle was right.

Gail Algernon would be a great friend.After experiencing these things, Edmund also saw the strengths of the other party. ——those besides the advantages pointed out by Carlisle.

"Okay, Gail." The boy narrowed his eyes happily, "as long as you don't think I'm too heavy."

"I don't care about your small body!" Gale said with a snort.He sat down again, curled up by the wall and hugged his backpack, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"Well, then please."

The author has something to say: This is today's update~~~

Regarding the question of "there are too many words in [], it will jump into the scene" - I decided to change the format to "[Shenyin]" later - is this better?

Well, I've coded to chapter 40 now.So use that new format after chapter 40. ——I am lazy, too lazy to repair the front one, and the watch beats me.

PS: Our English teacher is so perverted that he can no longer be perverted. ——It makes me think that my major is English now.asshole.
