[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Edmund clutched his chest and quickly walked through the dense spruce forest, stepping on a few white stones to a small stream.

He couldn't tell if the creek in front of him was the one they met the reindeer in, but it was a good thing to find water.

The book says that if you walk down the stream, you will definitely find a way down the mountain.

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

The boy squatted on two rocks, picked up some of the stream water with his hands and poured some on his face. ——He didn't want to see his family with his face covered in mud.Alice might complain that he didn't pay attention to his own image again.

After resting for 5 minutes, the boy stood up from the stone, ready to continue walking down——

"Kaba" came a crisp sound from the woods behind him. ——That was the sound of a branch being trampled.

Edmund subconsciously turned his head to look.

He had only seen them half an hour ago. —the two vampires who had been standing under the spruce tree watching him talk to Garrett.

Didn't they give up on him?Why are you back again?

Edmund noticed that Garrett was not among them, and an alarm went off in his mind.

He watched the two vampires warily, and took a step back cautiously.

"That's why human beings are weak." The black-haired vampire gave a weird smile with his eyes wide open, and then stretched out the tip of his pink tongue to lick his pale lips. Hours spent escaping. To be caught up so easily."

"Don't slander humans.—Aren't you transformed from humans?" Edmund argued with a cold face. ——The fear of those red eyes greatly reduced the sarcasm in the tone, which sounded not deterrent at all, "Where is Garrett?"

"Oh! Don't mention that coward." The other party shook his head, subconsciously ignoring the boy's justification, "He didn't want to annoy your family, so as you can see, we are the only ones who came looking for you."

The boy frowned. —They wouldn't kill Garrett for a disagreement, would they?Well, maybe so.

These two vampires don't want good people at first glance, no, good ghosts.

"Anyway... Let me introduce myself first. At least let you know who killed you, right? ——I'm Yerick, and this is my brother, Justin. We From St. Petersburg, Russia. Swimmed all the way from the Bering Strait."

"Edmund Cullen, from Kinlungar.—Nice to meet you."

"Very well...very good.—I've never seen a human child so polite when he knew he was going to die." Edmund swears that even Emmett, the most unruly in the family, has never smiled like this), and then "teleported" to Edmund's eyes, grabbed the latter by the collar and made him unable to escape, " So... do you have any last words to tell, human brat?"

The boy admitted that he was too scared to speak by the oppressive red eyes. ——He forced himself to look up into the crimson eyes of the vampire, trying to give the other party a feeling of "I'm not afraid of you at all".But obviously, he failed.

"It doesn't look like...then—" Yerick laughed again, put his pale hand on Edmund's shoulder, bent down, and showed his snow-white fangs.

A gust of wind hits—

Almost at the same time as the wind was blowing, Edmund felt as if he heard the "swish" sound of the whip whipping in the air.

The black-haired vampire who was about to bite him to death suddenly straightened up, and retreated to his brother at a speed that the boy couldn't even see. Those red eyes were watching behind Edmund vigilantly. direction.

"Edmund."

The boy froze for a moment, then quickly turned around and rushed towards the blond vampire who had just arrived.

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

Carlisle got down on one knee and hugged the blue-eyed boy, who seemed terrified, into his arms. ——For a moment, he felt that he was almost going to have a heart attack from being frightened by Edmund.

"Ed, are you okay?" Carlisle hugged the boy and immediately pulled the distance between them.But his hands still gripped the boy's shoulders tightly.

Those eyes, which were as clear as honey, looked him up and down eagerly.

"I'm fine, Carlisle."

[How could it be all right. 】

The blond vampire sighed and took the boy into his arms again. ——The force clasping the boy's back was more than a little heavier than usual.

It wasn't until Edmund groaned softly [I knew this word would be harmonized] that he realized that he was holding the other party too tightly.

"Feel sorry."

But the boy didn't care at all about Carlisle hurting him at the moment. ——For him, the appearance of this blond vampire is equivalent to getting everything.

Comfort, shelter and peace. ——The fear that was originally caused by being a prey disappeared without a trace because of the arrival of the other party.

Carlisle brought him more than anyone else. ——Especially after going through this incident, Edmund found that his dependence on the blond vampire was deeper than he imagined.

"I'm scared." Edmund buried his head in Carlisle's neck and said almost in a whisper, "but it's a good thing you're here."

"It's a good thing I'm here." Carlisle said with a sigh.

He had imagined countless scenarios after finding the boy.

And everything in front of him can definitely be listed in the top three of "Top Ten Scenes Carlisle Worth Seeing". —his boy was wounded, bloody, and almost killed by a stray vampire.

What if he was a second late?

He dare not imagine. ——Even he couldn't bear the consequences of this.

A vampire only finds one mate in its lifetime. ——If the partner dies, then for the vampire, it's like the whole world collapses.

Maybe he'd go on living for his family, but never feel whole again.

"It's okay, I'm here." The handsome vampire parent patted the boy's back lightly, and looked up at the two curious faces.

Although he wanted to hug the boy more to comfort each other, it was obviously not the time.

"Ed." Carlisle squeezed Edmund's arm lightly, signaling the latter to let him go first.

The boy who understood Carlisle's intentions immediately withdrew his arms, and obediently shrank behind his guardian.

The two vampires on the other side of the stream seemed to be getting impatient.

"I'm Carlisle, Carlisle Cullen." Carlisle moved forward indistinctly, covering the boy behind him tightly. "The boy was with me."

Just a simple action plus two sentences clearly expressed Carlisle's determination at this time——

[No matter who you are, don't try to touch this boy.I have the strength of a family to protect him.If you persist in your obsession, death awaits you. 】(Few vampires will add a surname after their Christian name. Except for vampires who have a family. Therefore, when vampires introduce themselves, they often add their surnames to indicate their belonging and warn the same kind. )

The two vampires looked at each other——

"Oh, it seems that we have really made an unwise decision." Justin, who had been silent until now, said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Cullen.——We'll leave now."

After that, he turned to look at his younger brother. ——But the other party didn't intend to leave at all.

"I'm hungry...I want his blood." Yerick squirmed his lips slightly, his red eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, cold and frightening. "Can I have him, Mr. Cullen?"

"Stand back, Edmund." Seeing this, Carlisle bowed his body and took a step forward.

In the next second, Carlisle and Yerick disappeared at the same time.

For a while, the boy could only hear the violent crash of vampires fighting. ——It was deafening like spring thunder exploding in the sky.

He had seen the duel scene between Emmett and Jasper, but the two of them didn't want to hurt each other, so basically they didn't use much strength.

But now-

The relationship between Carlisle and Yerick can be called a fight.

Edmund could see nothing. —he could only catch the sound of violent crashes, falling spruces, splashes of water, splintering stones and a few frightened snowy owls.

How's Carlisle doing? ——He never thought about this question.

In his opinion, a gentle person like Carlisle would not conflict with other people or vampires.

Well, even if there was, Emmett should be the first to rush up and have a pleasant (?) beating with the other party.

However, it can be seen from Justin's expression that Yerick didn't get any benefits.

This made Edmund a little proud. --Have you seen!Carlisle is the best at everything!

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

It seemed that he noticed that his younger brother was struggling, and finally, Justin, who didn't intend to interfere with the 1V1 game, also started to act.

It's just that he didn't rush to the place where the two vampires were fighting, but ran directly to Edmund.

The boy's skills are fairly nimble, but facing vampires, he can only be unconditionally suppressed. ——In the blink of an eye, he was picked up from the ground by the red-haired vampire.

"Please stop, Mr. Cullen."

There were two more "whoosh" sounds. —The two vampires immediately appeared in the clearing.

Jerick's cheeks are cracked for some reason, but Carlisle looks fine.

"Let go of him." Carlisle said in a low voice. ——The pair of golden eyes that were usually full of tenderness were now full of anger.

He noticed that Justin wanted to hold Edmund hostage, but he just couldn't get there in time. ——The vampire named Yerick seemed to have expected this a long time ago, always looking for opportunities to stand between him and the boy.

"Then I suppose we can negotiate terms?" Eustin looked pleased with Carlisle's reaction. —he tightened his grip on Edmund's neck a little more.The latter struggled a little, but to no avail. "It's very simple, just one sentence: This boy's blood smells very good. - We want him. Either give him to us, or watch him have his neck broken by me."

At this moment, Carlisle's eyes turned black like ink.

Justin smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and then let go of Edmund's neck and wrapped it around his thin shoulders from behind, turning him to face Carlisle.

"Come on, the next multiple-choice question is for you, boy.——Do you want to go with us?" The red-haired man whispered to Edmund like reciting a poem, "Or do you want to look at the card?" Mr. Lun died in front of you?"

Double shackles.

Ask the two of them to choose between "leaving each other" or "watching each other die".Also, there is no "I don't choose" option.

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

"...your brother can't beat Carlisle." The boy clenched his fist and said firmly, "he won't die."

"Oh?" Justin laughed. "You really think so?"

The vampire's slender fingers touched the throbbing artery on the left side of the boy's neck.

Meanwhile, Yerick over there is on the move. —he leaped over a huge boulder and rushed towards Carlisle.

"Don't move, Mr. Cullen.—If you move, the boy will die," said Eustin softly. ——The vampire's nails had cut Edmund's skin, and a small stream of blood was slowly seeping out from the wound. "Please don't question, I will do what I say."

Then there was a crisp "click".

Edmund knew the voice well. ——It was the sound of bones being broken.

The boy's eyes widened as Jerick chopped off Carlisle's left hand in less than a second. ——The arm that had hugged him countless times was lying on a whitish rock, like a perfect work carved out by an artist.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry for the late update... I've been busy at school recently. ——Who said college is easy? !Nima, my university is more tiring than my senior year in high school!

Well, Katie was afraid that Ed would be killed by Justin, so he didn't resist. ——Am I the only one who finds this scene very tragic?
