[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

The water droplets sprayed from the shower fell into the white bathtub, making a constant "crawling" sound. Although it was suspected of wasting resources, it was undoubtedly the best way to block the vampire's hearing.

The truth is as Carlyle said. ——This fierce movement is unknown to anyone except the two parties involved.

So, when the blond vampire, who had finished changing clothes, came out of the bathroom holding Edmund, who was half asleep and exuding the fragrance of shower gel, everyone in the family thought that the boy had a sudden intermittent headache while taking a bath. Weak like this.

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

"Oh my gosh, Carlisle, does he have another headache?" Esme asked, stepping forward with concern.

"It's just a little tired, don't worry, he's fine." Carlisle lowered his head, watched Edmund gently turn his head, found a comfortable place to pillow on his shoulder, and gradually fell asleep cooked.

"He must be exhausted." Esme rubbed the boy's hair distressedly, looking extremely sad. "After what happened today... oh, my poor boy."

"He'll be fine, Esme." Rosalie said, standing up from the sofa. "We all know he's strong."

Esme nodded, and then began to suggest to Carlisle that Edmund should go back to bed.

But before the other party expressed his opinion, Jasper appeared in the living room with a "swish", showing a serious expression.

"Laurent," Carlisle said immediately.

"What's he doing here?" Rosalie said, frowning. "That girl isn't here."

"I'll go and have a look. He probably didn't come to declare war." Jasper bowed his head slightly, jumped out from the open French window, and arrived at the open space of Karen's villa in less than three seconds. .Like a lion patrolling its territory, it watched the path at the edge of the woods vigilantly.

"Let him stay here. It's safer with us." Carlisle turned around, put the boy who was sleeping soundly in his arms on the soft sofa, and lowered his head to gently touch the boy on the other's forehead A kiss was printed on it.

"He will be found." Rosalie shook her head.

"I'm afraid he's already been spotted.—close enough." Carlisle glanced out the window, took off his coat and covered Edmund's stomach, "but I don't think he will choose to fight us …I could see that on the court that Laurent was different from the other three - he was more sensible and didn't want to get hot."

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

When Edmund opened his eyes in a daze, the first thing he saw was not the roof, the bed curtain, or the radiant Carlisle. ——He blinked, and it took him a long time to realize that the black mass in front of him was actually the shadow of a tree flying past the car window.

How is he in the car?

The boy straightened up from the spacious back seat of the Mercedes with a bang, and looked at the surrounding scene with some confusion.

"Carlisle?"

"Carlisle should be in Montana by now." Alice's energetic voice came from the passenger seat, "He's handing you over to us."

Edmund froze for a moment before realizing that it was Jasper driving the car, and that the person at the other end of the back seat was Edward's new human girlfriend. ——The other party's complexion was very bad, as if he had cried not long ago.She gave him a quick hello, then curled up again, looking anxious and sad.

The boy pursed his lips and looked down at the digital watch on his left wrist, as if he didn't intend to comfort Bella. —It's three o'clock in the morning.

"Where are we going in the middle of the night?"

"Phoenix city."

"We're going to drive to Arizona?!" Edmund raised his voice, then turned his head to look at Bella as if he suddenly realized something, "Oh...is this Edward's idea?"

"To be precise, it was Edward's and my idea." Alice said, "Jaspard and I will lead you to avoid James' pursuit first..."

"Who is James?—Is it him?"

"No, not him, the one with the blond hair. His other companion, Anthony... oh, I forgot you didn't know his name. The bastard who bereaved you was named 'Anthony,' Ed. The other two are Laurent and Victoria. Laurent remained neutral, and after contacting us, he said that he would leave here and go north. Victoria is James' partner and is currently staying in Fox." Alice didn't know where. Pulled out a black mobile phone, and handed it to Edmund, "Anthony obviously recognized you on the court and knew that you are currently a human being." - Edward heard him when we escorted Bella home He wants to encourage James to kill you first with him."

"Since this is the case, why did you let me stay with Bella?" The boy asked suspiciously, "Doesn't this make their actions more convenient? If you catch one and kill it, the other will be next to it, and even the road is difficult." There is no need to hurry."

"No, Ed.—Anthony and James both thought you'd stay with your mates, that's why Carlisle and Edward headed north and east, respectively, with something that represented your scent.—Etc. When we are far away, we will find an opportunity to kill those two vampires."

"This idea is terrible." Edmund said with a frown. "Once the other party realizes that they have been cheated, they will definitely return faster than Edward and Carlisle."

"At least they don't have a private jet." Alice said slyly, "Don't worry, Ed. - Phoenix is ​​very sunny, at least during the day, you are very safe... why don't you send Carlisle a message first Tell him you're awake?"

"I think the more important thing now is to persuade you to give up this plan." The boy shook his head, "I think Bella and I must separate."

"Carlisle said the same thing, but there's nothing you can do about it. If you separate, there will be no other people in the family to protect the two of you." Jasper spoke for the first time this evening, "We have to protect you at the same time." Sheriff Swann at Forks."

Edmund frowned and closed his mouth. —He had forgotten that there was a Sheriff Swann behind Bella.Moreover, with all due respect, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme should have no problem facing humans, but if the opponent is a male vampire who is good at hunting, it may be a bit difficult to deal with it alone.

"Oh... I wish I could become a vampire the next second." The boy swiped off the phone screen a little annoyed, quickly edited a message and delivered it to Carlisle's phone. "How soon will we be there?"

"About seven hours."

"Okay, seven hours."

After that, the car became quiet. ——It could be seen that Alice and Jasper were trying to provide a peaceful sleeping environment for the two humans in the backseat, but neither Edmund nor Bella was in the mood for sleep.

The former is because he has been thinking about a highly feasible and very safe (at least compared to now) vampire coping plan, while the latter is because of worry and fear.

With sleepless vampires and a high-performance car, the four of them covered the three-day journey in just one day.

Then, at 10 a.m., the black Mercedes turned onto Highway 110 in Phoenix, heading for the airport in the sunny city of Arizona.

Edmund felt that he had never seen such abundant sunshine in his life. ——The bright sun above the head is showing off its own light and heat without any effort, forming spots of light on the ground through the branches and leaves of the rows of palm trees.Pedestrians on the road were all wearing brightly colored short-sleeved T-shirts, and many young girls even wore short, tight crop tops and mini skirts. They seemed to be chatting with each other with great interest. between shops...

There is gold everywhere, brilliant gold.

This made the boy involuntarily think of Carlisle in Montana. ——The hair color and eye color of this vampire are as charming as the dazzling bright sunlight here.

Realizing this, Edmund suddenly realized that he had only been separated from the other party for less than two days, but he had already begun to miss him.

Thinking of this, the boy suddenly recalled that he and Carlisle were in the bathroom at home not long ago—fortunately, the other's movements were gentle, otherwise he would definitely not be able to straighten his waist now.

【Cough, don't do this.Now is not the time to think about it. 】——Edmund patted himself on the cheek, spurning himself in his heart.

The boy lowered his head and read the information on the phone again. —his partner had texted him two hours ago to tell him he was in the suburbs of Billings, with Rosalie, and spent almost half the screen telling Edmund not to worry.

How could you not worry.

The boy sighed. —He hasn't forgotten what happened in the Denali Mountains.

But the better thing is that this time Carlisle is following a vampire, and there is only one opponent. ——So it should be considered relatively safe.

Edmund stuffed the phone into his pocket, then leaned his head against the glass of the car, closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while, but before he fell asleep, Alice started calling his name.

"Ed?—wake up." Alice said softly. "We're at the airport."

The boy rubbed his eyes and glanced out through the car window. ——Their car was parked opposite the Phoenix International Airport, in front of a very neat looking hotel.

"Oh, so shall we fly to Egypt next? It might be a little hotter there."

"No, we'll have to live near the airport temporarily. — Just in case." Jasper handed over a black backpack containing a wad of bills and a fake driver's license (in the U.S., a driver's license is identity You need to show your driver’s license when you take a domestic plane, you need to show your driver’s license when you stay in a hotel, and you need to show your driver’s license wherever identification is required), “Ed, can you and Bella get the keys first? don't go."

"Of course." Bella nodded, looking very tired. "Edmund? Shall we go now?"

"Wait, Bella...Charles Francis Xavier (Professor X)?" Edmund stared at the driver's license in his hand with wide eyes. ——It is true that the photo above is him, but what is the name next to it? "Come on, why don't you guys call me 'Eric Lanshere (Magneto)'? He's one of my favorite Marvel characters."

Jasper laughed.

"Oh! it was Emmett's idea," said Alice cheerfully. "He said it would suit you very well."

"It doesn't fit at all!!! I have no idea why he thinks I fit the name of Professor X!!! It doesn't look like we have anything alike!!! - and the point is that I have hair!! He should give that name to Edward!!! Who the hell in the whole Cullen family has a real mind reader?! Hmm, I'll call him 'Elizabeth' after this is over!!! Buy him French ladies Underwear as a Christmas gift!!! If you dare to have an opinion, you will die!!!" The boy said dissatisfiedly, and then pushed open the car door amidst the laughter of Alice and Jasper and strode towards the opposite side hotel.
