[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

On the Sunday before Carlisle's 365th birthday, Edmund was taken back to their villa in the mountains by the vampires of the Cullen family.

"It's time to get out of the hospital and go home to recuperate."—that's what Carlisle told him.

Although he still had to obediently stay indoors and not run around, the boy felt much better than staying in a hospital where the smell of disinfectant was everywhere.

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

This is a long-lost sunny day.

Several baby snowbirds that had just learned to fly flapped their increasingly strong milky white wings and landed on the balcony of Karen's villa. ——they had a serious conversation before deciding to try to eat a bite of the bread crumbs that a certain blond vampire deliberately threw on the railing.

Edmund blinked, and took his eyes off the snowbirds who were vying for each other, and began to do his work seriously.

This beautiful mixed-race boy was sitting on the big bed in Carlisle's room at this time, holding a carving knife in one hand, and a palm-sized sandalwood block that was scratched by the sharp edge in the other.

Beside him, there is a small and exquisite yellow trash can filled with sawdust, a light yellow wooden board the size of a textbook, two shiny silver nails, a few color printed pictures, a bottle of super glue, a can of colored handguard and a black hammer.

That's right, he was making Carlisle's birthday present at this time. —This was an idea he came up with after watching a TV show called "Discovery" not long ago.

Of course, thanks also to Edward and Emmett. ——They helped to get these messy tools and materials.You know, the sandalwood in the hands of boys is in short supply in the market. ——This rarest small-leaf red sandalwood is one of the most precious woods in the world, and it is the most advanced type of red sandalwood.

The growth period of this kind of tree is extremely slow, and it takes eight to nine hundred years or even thousands of years to grow into a useful tree. —and the finer the grain, the more valuable it is.

And the piece of wood given to him by his elder brothers has almost no growth rings visible to the naked eye. ——Its preciousness can be imagined. (Selling this unassuming piece of lumber would definitely bring back some nice sports cars.)

So, when Edmund took the box Edward handed him, his jaw was almost dislocated by the rosewood inside.

"Where did you get this?"

"Come back from the rainforests of India."

"...Wait, are you making too much of a fuss? Just give me some of the most common wood.——I'm just a kid, and I'm not a professional carver. Give me such a precious thing, What if I fail?"

"Yes. We have already considered this point. So we took a lot of materials. ——If it fails, we still have it here, so let's do it!"

"..."

Edmund began to consider whether he should call India's Environmental Management Agency and sue them.

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

The boy locked himself in the room for almost five whole days, (No one is allowed in.—not even the original owner of the room—Carlisle Cullen—cannot enter.) He kept tinkering with the Except for eating and going to the toilet, he hardly ever showed his face.

Finally, on the afternoon of the sixth day, Carlisle's birthday, he ran out of the room on his own initiative.

"Hey, little guy, it's finished?" Emmett appeared in front of the boy almost instantly, looking at the beautiful paper box in the other's hand with an obvious curious expression on his face, "Can you show me ?”

"You'll see it when Carlisle unwraps the present."

"I can't wait for that.—Show me first, and I swear I'll keep it secret for you."

"No.—Edward can read minds."

"But Edward is also one of the insiders."

"That won't work either," said Edmund gravely. "No peeking, Emmett.—or I won't give you Christmas presents this year."

"Hey! Come on, baby! We're the best of friends!--ah, well, well. I think I'd rather have Christmas presents."

"Very good." The boy made a grimace.

When Edmund and Emmett came down to the living room together, Alice, Rosalie and Esme had already decorated the whole living room quite gorgeously.

Ribbons, garlands, candles, and a particularly beautiful three-tiered cream cake.

"Oh! Ed!" Alice put down the plate in her hand, ran over and hugged Edmund up and down, "you are willing to come down at last!—Hurry up, you are the only one left in the house who has not dressed up gone."

"Cough... What about Carlisle and the others?"

"I went hunting, and there is still about an hour before I get home. —Don't worry, our birthday is extraordinarily radiant today." Alice walked into the dressing room with Edmund in her arms, and locked the door behind her, " What would you like to wear today?"

"Cough... I believe in your vision."

"Oh! Can I understand that - the management right is mine?"

"Ah."

"It's great!!!" Alice showed her white teeth, quickly opened the cabinet door, and began to choose various clothes inside.

Twenty minutes later, Edmund was wearing a coat that looked like an evening gown, obediently sitting in front of the mirror and watching Alice comb his somewhat messy bangs with hairspray.

"I look like an earl who is going to a ball," the boy commented. "Isn't that too grand?"

"No, it's not grand at all.——You know that people in Carlisle's era were dressed like this." Alice smiled with satisfaction.Then, she opened the drawer, took out a pair of fine white gloves and handed them to the boy, "Well, they are so beautiful.—They will definitely like you."

"'They'? Who?" Edmund asked suspiciously. —he knew that the word "they" was definitely not referring to the Cullens.

Any guests coming today?

"Of course the Denalis."

"...well, who are they?"

"Huh? Didn't Carlisle tell you?" Alice blinked suspiciously, "Today there will be a vampire from another family coming to the party."

The boy pursed his lips and thought for a while, Carlisle seemed to have said something a few days ago. ——But at that time, his attention was all on the gift that was about to be completed, and he almost forgot all about Carlisle's words when he turned his head.

Oh that's bad. ——He actually forgot such an important thing.

"Don't worry. They are vegetarians like us, and they won't hurt you." Alice mistook the boy's frowning because he was worried that he would be bitten, so she comforted her.

"I'm not worried about my neck," grumbled Edmund. "I'm worried they don't like me."

Alice smiled, cupped the boy's cheek, and kissed it lightly.

"Oh! You're so funny, Ed!—Don't worry, they won't!"

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

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the small gaps between the leaves, reflecting orange-red spots on the boy's body. ——His face was a little reddish, and he seemed a little unaccustomed to the strenuous exercise just now.

His family always kept him under strict control. ——During the two months of recuperation, as long as he left the house for too long, his vampire family members would start babbling, "I've had enough exercise today", "Be good, go to bed", "Don't be in bed." If you stay outside for too long, you'll catch a cold," or something like that.

Especially when that vampire is Esme. ——Whenever Edmund saw Esme's worried face, no matter how enthusiastic he was, he didn't have the heart to continue being mischievous.

It is an unforgivable sin to worry such a beautiful and gentle mother.

But today, this naughty boy finally found his chance, slipped out while his family was busy furnishing the room, and climbed directly up a tall, straight tree.

Well, that's high enough.

Edmund sneezed and poked his head out of a dense pile of ginkgo leaves. ——He was standing on the tallest ginkgo tree in the woods, blinking his blue cat eyes and looking at the surrounding scenery excitedly.

He really likes high places. ——This perspective of looking down on everything will always give him a very strong sense of satisfaction.He thought, if life can be reincarnated, then in his last life he must have been a beautiful hawk bird.

Edmund happily sat on the branch and hummed, his legs dangling in the air and dangling constantly. ——It would be even better if there are soft drinks and snacks at this time.

However, this happy situation did not last long.

When the last ray of the setting sun disappeared at the end of the sky, the boy heard the sound of an engine coming from far and near. ——A seemingly expensive black Mercedes Benz rushed down the road and parked firmly in the yard of Karen's house.

Carlisle and their predators are back.

The boy froze for a moment, then began to panic, crawling down on hands and feet——

It's too bad, why did he forget that Carlisle and the others are coming back soon?If Carlisle caught him running out to climb a tree, and climbed this high—

He didn't want to be locked up again.

Edmund turned over, grabbed the branch he had just stood on with both hands, and dropped one leg.

"Crack!"——The fragile branch broke suddenly because it couldn't bear the boy's weight, and then it whirled and fell on the soft ground.

The luck couldn't be worse.

The boy rolled his eyes and looked at his current situation. — the only branch he could reach had been trampled off by him.From this point of view... If you want to go on, you have to close your eyes and jump directly.

What a joke.

He would definitely break his leg if he jumped from that height.Well, maybe add the neck.

Edmund scratched his head and thought for a long time, and finally realized that according to his current situation, if he wanted to go down to the ground, he could only call for help.

As for what will happen after being rescued...

Isn't it just being trained? ——Emmett is right, die early and live early!

The boy scratched his hair with a look of bitterness and hatred, then opened his mouth and took a deep breath——

"Carlisle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
