[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

"Volturi?" Edmund tilted his head suspiciously, "Is that the vampire family you once said lived in Volterra, Italy?"

"That's right." Carlisle raised his hand and touched the boy's furry head, then took their travel plan and put it aside, "But I didn't tell you in detail about their status in the blood clan at that time."

"Are they great?"

"You could think of them as the 'royalty' of the vampires.—making the law that belongs to the vampires, and at the same time responsible for maintaining its authority."

"So you're a commoner too." Edmund blinked his blue eyes, and then showed a sly smile. "I'm balanced."

"Yes.—To be precise, ordinary vampires don't care how much power and status they have. What we want most is blood." Carlisle said softly, "Come on, Ed.——About Vampire laws."

"Do vampires have a constitution too? Marriage laws? Environmental protection laws?"

"The laws of vampires are few, and not as detailed as those of humans.—The most important one is that vampires must not reveal their identities to humans."

"Well. I know that. You told me the day you adopted me.—so I've been wondering if I've got you in trouble with the law. Several times I've tried to ask you, but Edward told me it wasn't here yet when."

"Edward's mind reading is useful, isn't it?—he knows I'm going to tell you about it later."

"Now?"

"Yes.—I don't think I've really broken the law yet."

"But I already know you're a vampire.—and so are the family."

"Our laws are not as rigid as human beings. Take the one just now as an example, there are two ways to work around it. ——First, kill that human being."

Edmund put his hands to his neck and trembled.

"Ed...you know I wouldn't do that to you." Carlisle said with a sigh.

"I know. I just wanted to see your reaction." The boy grinned. ——Carlisle's expression just now was really interesting, it felt like someone he didn't know had hit his head hard with a shovel, "Then what about the second method?"

"Turn that human into a vampire."

Edmund blinked, then raised his finger to his nose.

"Can I become a vampire too?"

"I respect your opinion." Carlisle looked at the boy in front of him tenderly, and gently rubbed his hand on the boy's face, "If you don't want to become a vampire, then I have a way to let you live as a human go down."

"...What are you talking about, of course I am willing to become a vampire." Edmund's eyes widened, "I want to live with you. And - if you lose me, you will be very sad, right? "

"As I expected." Carlisle smiled softly, "You think too much about vampires."

"Because you are beautiful in your own right.—At least the vampires in the family are." Edmund grabbed Carlisle's fingertips, "Turn me into a vampire.——I also want to become stronger, and I can't let You always protect me."

"Think again, Ed. You don't have to answer me so quickly."

"No, no need.——No matter how much I think about it, my decision will not change." The boy said firmly, "You have already transformed Edward and the others, so there should be no problem changing me.——When? now?"

Carlisle looked at Edmund's beautiful cat's eyes and smiled softly.

"Carlisle?"

The handsome vampire didn't answer.

Almost in the next second, he wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and pressed him down on the soft bed.

"Carlisle, Carlisle?" Edmund tightly grasped the fabric on the other's shoulder, his voice trembling. — Well, he won't admit that he's a little flustered.

"Become a vampire, huh?"

"Oh! Alright!——You can bite whatever you want, I'm not afraid of pain." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and raised his chin, exposing his fair and clean neck.

Carlisle raised his arms and adjusted his position, almost enclosing Edmund under him.He lowered his head slowly, and then pressed his profile against the boy's neck.

The beautiful smell belonging to the singer immediately overwhelmed him. ——Edmund smells a bit like Milan, and at the same time, it seems to be mixed with a faint aroma of black tea.

Fantastic.There are simply no words to describe this feeling.

Carlisle sighed.

The vampire instinct in his body began to stir, constantly clamoring to swallow all the boy's blood into his stomach.

But he can't.

Carlisle opened his eyes, carefully observing the boy's reaction with those dark golden pupils.

Edmund was a little nervous. ——His hands were tightly clutching Carlisle's shirt, the muscles of his body were tense, and his eyelids were still trembling.

This is exactly the reaction before the needle was inserted. —It seems that he is still very afraid of pain.

Carlisle let out a muffled laugh, kissed the boy on the outside of the carotid artery, and then hugged him.

"Wait a few more years."

"Why not now?" Edmund suddenly opened his eyes and asked urgently.

"You're still young, Ed. Would you like to stay at the age of 13 for the rest of your life?"

"That's right... Then, how many years do I have to wait?"

"Around five years."

"7 years?! No, it's too long! 4 years!"

"Five years." Carlisle said with a smile, "it can't be any younger."

"...Edward was transformed by you at the age of 17, why can't I."

"Unless you catch the Spanish flu."

"You know that's impossible.—With a doctor at home, I've been deprived of the right to catch a cold." The boy muttered, "Well, five years is five years."

"Good boy." Carlisle touched Edmund's head.

"...It suddenly occurred to me that the city of Volterra is in your travel plan." The boy suddenly realized, "You already expected that I would agree to become a vampire, didn't you?"

"Yes." The smile on Carlisle's face deepened, "You love us, don't you?"

"Humph."

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

Thanks to Carlisle, Edmund has visited many places that he could never have imagined before.

They stayed in Rome for five days, then transferred to Milan, where they stayed for three days, then went on to Naples and Venice.After wandering around half of Italy, Carlisle took Edmund to Florence.

"Today is St. Marcus's Day," Carlisle said as the sleek Aston Martin drove down the road to Votra.

"what?"

"St. Marcus's Day. - Legend has it that a Christian missionary, Father Marcus of Volturi, expelled all vampires from the city of Voltura 500 years ago. This festival is dedicated to him established."

"Marcus of the Volturi? Isn't he a vampire?"

"Of course he's a vampire.—It's just that people here don't know it."

"Poor human beings.—have been deceived in this way for over a thousand years."

Carlisle laughed.

"I think they didn't lose, did they? ——There will be a lot of people today, so be careful not to get lost."

"of course."

Carlisle drove the car up a steep slope, and the road became congested, with more and more cars going up the road.So he simply parked the car on the side of the road, and then took Edmund to walk up to the central square here.

Almost everyone here has red parts on them. — shirts, ties, hats, headbands, bandanas, shoes, and red flags.Some also wore makeup, as if to make themselves look a little more vampire-like.

"Don't worry. Someone will take us to Puoli Palace when it gets dark, so follow the plan first?"

"Okay!" The boy tugged at Carlisle's sleeve, "Look, someone is selling vampire fangs over there.—May I have one?"

"of course can."

So Edmund excitedly squeezed into the crowd, quickly picked out a very delicate gadget, and prepared to show it to his parents.

However, after he came back to his senses, he realized that Carlisle had disappeared.

Realizing this, the boy immediately panicked. ——He stuffed the vampire's fangs into his pocket, looking back and forth for the handsome blond vampire.

Wait, Carlisle shouldn't be captured by the Volturi vampires, right?

Edmund anxiously ran around in the crowd, constantly asking the people around if they had seen his parents, but because of the language barrier, he had no idea what the other party was talking about.

It's over, he didn't bring a mobile phone with him when he came out this time, and the vampire dentures just now cost almost all of his money.Not being able to find Carlisle means that he has no way to return to his country, and no way to return to his country means he has to stay in Italy, and staying in Italy means that he has to find a job to support himself if he wants to survive, but this is simply impossible ! ——Just because he has little life experience and can only speak English and German wants to compete for jobs in Italy and Italians, it makes people laugh out loud!

The boy hugged his head and gave a slap, then stood in the crowd of people coming and going with a sad face, mourning silently for the things he might face in the future.

At this time, a passing Asian girl spotted him, so she broke through the crowd and ran over.

"What's wrong with you?" the girl asked in English, "Did you get lost with your family?"

Edmund was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Do you remember your family's phone number? I can lend you my phone."

"I--"

"Edmund?"

The boy immediately turned around and rushed towards Carlisle.The latter breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to wrap the black cloak he had just bought around Edmund's body.

"Feel sorry."

"Where did you go?"

"I'll buy you some small gifts, but I didn't expect you to pick them out so quickly."

The boy sniffled, grabbed Carlisle's arm with one hand, and installed the fangs he just bought with the other, then gnawed hard on it.

This series of actions made Carlisle dumbfounded.

Maybe Edmund is better suited to be a werewolf. ——He seems to bite people whenever he gets angry, wherever he catches... Oh, and most importantly, even vampires are not spared.

But at least this time he learned to be smart and knew that he couldn't directly bite with his own teeth.

"Okay, Ed.——I promise this will never happen again." Carlisle patted the boy on the shoulder.

Having received the guarantee, Edmund readily let go.

He turned to the petrified girl, showing a bright smile——

"Thank you! But don't bother, my father has found me."
