[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

The orange-red morning light gently sprinkled on Carlisle's side face through the thin window, making the vampire's smooth skin begin to reflect the brilliance like diamonds.

The handsome blond patriarch lay on his side on a large bed with dark curtains, with one hand propping his cheek, and the other lightly pressing on the back of Edmund's folded hand on his chest. ——Those gilt-like pupils were looking tenderly at the boy's slightly trembling black eyelashes.

A few seconds later, Edmund murmured softly, holding Carlisle's slender index finger and rolling lazily, just in time to roll into Carlisle's arms.

Seeing this, Carlisle immediately adjusted the arm that was originally supporting him. ——Pass through the boy's neck, spread five fingers and stick them on the other's spine, and then apply slight pressure to gently press the latter to his chest.

Edmund moved his head, found a comfortable place to pillow on Carlisle's shoulder, and then relaxed and stopped moving.

Therefore, Carlisle, who lost his arm support, simply lay his head on a soft pillow, hugged the boy in his arms, and hummed a soothing melody softly.

Edward, who learned about the situation in the house through mind reading, curled his lips.

Carlisle really loved that boy. ——The harmonious and beautiful atmosphere made him, an outsider, also infected.

Edward swore that if there were no more important things, he would not be the guy who disturbed the two of them.

Well, otherwise he will be struck by lightning.

Edward stood outside the corridor and gently knocked on the dark wooden door, and slowly walked into the house after hearing Carlisle's voice in his mind.

"Carlisle." Edward lowered his voice and said, "The police station just called. ——They said that the boy's autopsy has been completed, and he is currently placed in the morgue. Arrangements for burial can be considered. Regarding the cremation time, we need You give an answer as soon as possible..."

"What did Alice say?"

"She said it will rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow. After all, the boy has been dead for too long, and the body should not be kept."

"Okay, then I'll call back... Do you want to take Ed with you?"

"I respect his wishes."

"I should have thought.—how is he? Is he better?" Edward asked.

"I barely fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning, and seemed to be having nightmares all the time. - I woke up several times. But now it's better." Carlisle gently took his fingers from Edmund's palm He pulled it out, patted his back, and then got out of bed, took off the white cotton jacket that had been wrinkled and water-stained by the boy, and put it on the back of the chair, Put on a light blue shirt that looks very good quality.

"Has he always slept so dishonestly? I thought he only kicked his legs when he was dreaming." Edward watched in surprise as the boy on the bed flew up and kicked off the cushion placed on the edge of the bed. on the ground.

"It's been like this since I knew him." Carlisle shook his head helplessly, bent down and picked up the cushion and returned it to its original position.

"Could it be because of calcium deficiency?"

"Unlikely.—I can vouch for his nutritional intake."

"Could it have something to do with him not growing up all the time?"

"I don't know.—but he's really too small compared to kids his age... It's a serious problem. To be honest, it's been bothering me for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Edmund, who was evaluated as "too thin", suddenly whimpered and woke up with a twitch.

Edward snickered, gestured to Carlisle, and left first.

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

Edmund, who had just woken up, didn't notice that Edward had disappeared from the room. ——He got up from the bed in a daze, bowed his back and squinted his eyes like a little kitten, and fumbled around on the bedding around him, as if he was looking for something.

what is he looking for

Carlisle stood there silently with this question and watched curiously, watching the boy's expression gradually change from "lazy" at the beginning to "anxious".

"Carlisle!" muttered Edmund, rubbing his eyes, "where did I put Carlisle?"

"..."

It turned out to be looking for him.

But what about the "Where did I put Carlyle"?

"Are you sleepy, boy?" The handsome blond vampire appeared on the other side of the room almost in a second. ——He sat sideways on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and lightly squeezed the ears that stood up between the black hair, and then opened his arms to allow the boy to rush up and hug him.

"I thought I lost you." Edmund buried his head in Carlisle's neck and mumbled.

"No." After saying that, he gently rubbed the boy's furry head, "I'm right next to you."

"Huh. Huh?" Edmund, who was belatedly aware of it, finally noticed something different at this time. ——he let go of Carlisle, blinking those intoxicating blue eyes, and looked at him quietly.

Carlisle's naked skin was illuminated by the sun like fine white porcelain produced in China. ——The smooth surface shone like hundreds of millions of dazzling diamonds.

He was almost like a perfect statue made of a nameless stone smooth as marble and shining like diamond. - Nothing can compare to it.

"It's so beautiful..." The boy stared dumbfounded at the person in front of him, oh no, a vampire, stretched out his hands almost uncontrollably, and gently pressed Carlisle's cold cheeks.

"The vampire's appearance in the sun.—I remember I said I'd let you see it if I had the chance." Carlisle said with a smile. "It's dazzling, isn't it?"

The boy was still staring at the smiling Carlisle with wide eyes. ——The voice of the other party seemed to come from a very far away place, ethereal and pleasant.

"Ed?"

"Angel," muttered Edmund, "just missing a pair of wings.—are you really a vampire?"

"Vampire, yes." Carlisle replied gently.

"It's just incredible."

"Yeah.—I was taken aback by myself in the sun when I first became a vampire."

This sentence made Edmond laugh out loud for a moment. ——Those azure blue eyes slightly curved a small arc, like a bright crescent moon.

"Surprised by myself... well, that must have been funny... I remember when Peter—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Carlisle bowed his head slightly, looked at the boy's face with gentle eyes, and then reached out to help him straighten the curled-up pajama collar.

"Ed."

"Ok?"

"Want a story?—About me."

Edmund was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I was wandering for a long time after I became a vampire." Carlisle sat next to the boy leaning against the head of the bed, reached out and rubbed the boy's hairy head, "Because I couldn't restrain my desire to suck blood, so I Didn't dare approach humans at all.—until I was in my 50s."

"That day, I happened to pass through a wood not far from my home, and heard the words of some residents in the town.—I still remember what they said at that time: 'My lord pastor seems to be on the verge of dying.—What a pity, A lifetime of busy work, and in the end he has no one to accompany him... Oh, by the way, what's the name of his missing son? That bright and handsome young man?', 'It's called Carlisle.—What a pity. He was a good boy, but his fate was so cruel. He was only 23 years old when he disappeared.'”

"I have no brothers or sisters, and my mother died after I was born. So the only relative I have left in this world is my father who is a pastor.—So I made up my mind to go back to the church before he died. Go home and see him one last time."

"I went hunting. I killed three gazelles. I didn't stop until I couldn't drink anymore. I sneaked into the house where I used to live along the path in my memory."

"I saw my old father lying quietly on the bed, folded his hands, and pressed a Bible to his chest. —He is still alive, but he will not live long."

"He watched me step out of the shadows and stand in front of him."

"He looked taken aback. - because I still looked the same as when I left more than 30 years ago. Then he realized. - The son he was so proud of had turned into the darkness he had fought his whole life Race."

"He was very angry. — I watched him struggle to get out of bed, yelling at me to get the hell out. — and within three seconds, he was dead in front of me."

"No one taught me how to face parting. ——I didn't even squeeze a smile, and before I could say goodbye, before I could say 'I love you', he just left."

The boy suddenly reached out and held Carlisle's fingertips, his charming cat eyes widened, as if to comfort the handsome vampire. ——The latter laughed, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against the boy's.

"I was sad to think that there would never be anything in the world that would make me feel warm again, but I was wrong."

"Fate is fair. It deprives you of something that belongs to you, and it must be returned to you in another way."

"This world will not change its original appearance because of the departure of a few people. No matter what you have experienced, I believe that there will always be unexpected warmth and endless hope in the future."

"So I think you should cheer up, Ed." The blond vampire said softly, "I believe you understand the truth, so I won't say too many words that may make you feel very verbose and redundant ...I'll stay with you until you're fully recovered, okay?"

"...Thank you." Edmund blinked his eyes that were about to shed tears, and put his arms around Carlisle's waist, "Thank you, Carlisle."

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

Edmund personally arranged for Peter Pace's funeral.

There are no cumbersome ceremonies, no lengthy farewell words.It was just a small memorial service, with a few old friends who were close to Peter, and then it was over.

"I know you like to be low-key." The boy stood in front of the white tombstone with an umbrella in a black formal suit, bent down and inserted a small bunch of lilacs shallowly into the brown soil, "so I made it It's a little easier. ——But fortunately, Carlisle and the others help, otherwise I must have messed it up again."

Edmund looked at the letters on the tombstone, then rubbed his eyes.

"I will live with the people of Karen's family in the future, and they will take good care of me, so you don't have to worry. ——You can have fun over there, I won't miss you."

The boy grimaced at the coin-sized photo on the tombstone, then let out a muffled laugh.

"Just kidding.—I'll always remember you. Good-bye, Peter.—I love you."

As soon as the words fell, Edmund turned around resolutely, and ran towards the end of the road without looking back.

"Are you ready?" Carlisle bent down and took the blue umbrella from the blue-eyed boy.

"Okay." Edmund scratched his hair, looking a little embarrassed, "Why did you come so fast? —— just overheard my farewell speech?"

"No, I wasn't eavesdropping.—Only listening in the light of day."

"...Go home, I'm a little sleepy." The boy smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, but he didn't intend to worry about it.

Carlisle put a hand on Edmund's shoulder and took a step forward, stopping just in time to notice that the boy was not moving.

"what happened?"

Edmund looked at the cemetery behind him, and after a moment of silence he raised his head and looked at Carlisle's face quietly.

"Carlisle."

"Ok?"

"Cough, that... If one day I die, can you please don't forget me?"

Carlisle frowned slightly when he heard the words, and the hand on the boy's shoulder also unknowingly increased his strength.The golden eyes are as dazzling as the sun, which can almost burn people's eyes.

Edmund froze for a moment, and then realized how thoughtless the words he had just said were.

"Cough, no, it's nothing, you heard me wrong, I didn't say anything.—Come on! It's cold here." Then he tugged on Carlisle's sleeve. ——It's a pity that it didn't move.

"Edmund."

"Well--"

"No." Carlisle knelt down and gently put his arms around the boy's shoulders, "I will never forget you. No matter how long."

"Swear?"——This is Edmund, who got cheap and behaved.

"I swear."

The boy grinned, revealing a smile that could make the sun eclipse in an instant.
