[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

Finding that address was a little easier than Edmund had imagined. ——Cactus Street is in Phoenix, the old town of Phoenix, which is also the city center.But I am very fortunate that it is located in the city center, and the boy came here with almost no detours after asking the way.

It's 6pm.

Edmund parked the car in an unnoticed alley, and looked up at the dance classroom painted red. —the parking space in front of the door was empty, and all the vertical curtains in the house were drawn.A sign on the crimson door said the dance studio was temporarily closed for spring break.

The boy closed his eyes and wrapped his body with power, then he breathed steadily and opened the door.

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

The hall was dark and empty, very cool, and the air conditioner was buzzing non-stop. — those old-looking plastic handrails stacked against the wall, looking as if they might fall down at any moment.The lights in the larger dance studio to the east were on, but the curtains on the windows over there were drawn.

Edmund pulled the [God Hidden] gun from behind his back, and with a little force with his fingers, he pulled off the safety on both sides of the rear of the socket. ——He was concentrating on the surrounding situation with a concentration of 5.00%, and a single negligence could kill him or Bella.

It would be a lie to say there is no fear.

The boy had faced vampires alone. ——The feeling of being stared at by red eyes used to make him unable to sleep well for a long time, but every time Carlisle would hug him up and pat him gently as if comforting a baby Back, hum a very old but very beautiful tune to him, and then he will fall into a deep sleep unconsciously until the next morning.

Thinking of this, Edmund realized that he was ridiculously reckless. ——He shouldn't have chased him out by himself.Jasper and Alice were in the lobby of the hotel, and he could go downstairs and discuss with them instead of staying here silently like a thief with a gun in his hand.

He actually forgot that he was still a human being, and he was also one of the hunted targets.

Carlisle would be very angry knowing all this.

The boy shook his head slightly. ——He remembered the incident of "setting fire" in the old house of the Pace family back then.That's when Edward told him that what annoyed Carlisle the most was that he always put himself in danger at will.And today, many years later, he did it again.

And most likely will die worse.

But he has no regrets. ——This is the city center, and it is still daytime.So the vampires in the family couldn't swagger in and out of this dance studio, but he could.So now the only one who can protect Bella is him.

Edmund didn't do it for the girl. —for Edward.

The boy turned on the positioning of his mobile phone, put it in a hidden place, and then clenched the weapon in his hand, praying that this thing could penetrate the vampire's skin like an armor-piercing bullet. While bowing his waist, he walked slowly into the dance classroom.

"It's all right, Mom! We're leaving here right away." Bella was kneeling on the dirty floor to untie the annoying hemp rope for a middle-aged woman who was tied to an armchair, and the other person looked nervous Looking intently at Edmund who had just entered the room.

The boy did not immediately move towards the center of the room. ——He held up the gun and carefully looked inside the room.After confirming that there was no one else besides Bella and the woman, he lowered his gun.

"Bella!" The boy immediately ran over, knelt down on one knee beside Bella, and helped her pull a rope to the ground. "What are you doing? Why didn't you tell us before you came?"

"I'm sorry!!! James grabbed my mother and threatened me to come here alone. - I know this might bother you guys, I apologize! I'm sorry!" Bella looked very nervous, "But I He didn't seem to be there when we got here.—Edmund?"

"This is your mother?"

"Oh! yes, this is Renee.—Mother, this is Edmund, Edward's brother."

"Edmund? Oh! Hello!" Renee greeted politely, "Bella and I mentioned your family."

"Hello." Edmund tilted his head and showed a puzzled expression... I don't know why, his nerves are always trying to send such a message to his brain——

【This is not Bella's mother. 】

He thought for a while, then took a tentative step forward and touched the opponent's arm, which caused his heart to beat like crazy.

[This person has a problem. 】

Maybe the boy still doubted himself at first, but now he won't. —This is not Bella's mother.Otherwise, it would definitely not make him feel afraid.

Thinking of this, Edmund immediately stood up, squinting his eyes and carefully looked at Renee in front of him.

"Okay, Mom, let's get out of here quickly—"

Isabella Swan couldn't understand why the youngest child of the Karen family looked at his mother with such hostility. —Did Edmund Cullen and Renee have a festive season?

"What's the matter, Edmund?" Bella asked again.

The boy pursed his lips and pulled the puzzled girl up and stood behind him. ——The muzzle of the pitch-black gun was aimed at the woman who was tied to the chair.

"No!!! What are you doing!!!" Bella yelled and grabbed Edmund's wrist, "She's my mother!!!"

"She's not your mother, Bella." The boy said with a frown, as if annoyed that Bella stopped him. "I can feel that she is not. This is someone else's fake."

"Fake?" Renee frowned. "What the hell are you talking about, kid?"

Bella froze for a moment, then seemed to remember Edmund's difference and the unique dark talent of vampires, and seemed a little shaken. "How are you sure?"

"My intuition tells me that she is not your mother." The boy pulled off the insurance with a "click", "I need verification."

"Oh! For God's sake!—I am Isabella Swan's mother! Please don't desecrate my identity as a mother!" Renee said seriously.

"Mom!—Do you remember that I learned ballet when I was a child? Once I was going to perform on stage, and I hid. What did you say to me when you found me?" Bella asked.

"Oh! Of course I remember! I said--'Bella! Bella! Oh! God! Scared the hell out of me, and you must never do it again!"

Bella nodded, then turned to look at Edmund: "She's right."

The boy shook his head and quickly raised his gun arm.

"No, Edmund! You can't do this!—She is my mother! Renee!!! We have the same eyes!!!" Bella stood in front of the gun without doubt, "Stay away from her Son, Edmund Cullen!!!"

"Bella! Bella!" Renee yelled in horror as she tried to push Bella aside. "Bella leave me alone and get out of here."

"No, Mom! I'm not going anywhere!" Isabella quickly pulled out the fruit knife tied to her pant leg (it looked like she brought it from the hotel), and pointed it at Edmund tremblingly, " Come on, Edmund, I don't want to hurt you, get out of here.—James and Anthony don't know when they will show up, we have to go to a crowded place, and then call Alice."

The boy who was swayed by that uneasy feeling didn't want to explain to Bella at all. —he took Bella's arm and dragged her behind him before pulling the trigger without hesitation.

With a bang, a bullet shot out of the gun barrel and hit the woman on the shoulder.

What happened next was something Edmund never expected. ——Bella, who was standing behind him, screamed, almost reflexively raised the fruit knife and quickly cut his arm.

The boy cursed and dropped the diaper on the ground.

"Mom!!!" Bella yelled as she rushed to kneel beside the chair, crying with her brown eyes wide open, "Mom, are you alright?"

Of course, there was no response.

"You!!!" Bella stood up angrily and picked up the black gun from the ground, looking as if she wanted to kill Edmund with a single shot, "You murderer!!!——how can you treat Carlisle? How can you be worthy of the rest of the Karen family?"

"Bella, listen to me..."

With two "bang bang", two bullets flew past the boy's cheeks, and ruthlessly embedded into the wall covered with golden wallpaper.

"Bella! Can't you calm down and listen to my explanation?! Put the gun down!" Edmund yelled angrily, "I'm not crazy!"

"No, you're crazy!!!" Bella cried loudly, "How dare you?! How dare you?! My mother just married Phil!!! Don't come here!!! Leave I stay away!!!"

Then he pulled the trigger again.

"Bang!" There was a sound, and the gunshot rang out again. A leaden bullet hit the boy's shoulder with a whirlwind, breaking the bones around the left shoulder, causing a stream of blood to splash out on the ground.

Edmund gritted his teeth and snorted, but didn't let out the scream he expected. ——It seems that his early experience has greatly improved his tolerance to pain. At this moment, he actually feels that the pain caused by being shot by a bullet is just that.

After a brief silence, there was a loud clap in the dance hall.

Bella turned around stiffly, watching her "mother" stand up from the chair with a smile that didn't suit her.

"Wonderful, Miss Swan." "Renee" said while laughing, "I have to say more, you did a lot better than I did back then."

The boy clutched his left shoulder and watched as the woman's facial features began to blur, and eventually turned into a leaden-haired man.

Bella's eyes widened, then she turned to look at Edmund, who was frowning, with obvious horror in her eyes.

"Good afternoon, Edmund Pace. No, maybe you should be called Mr. Cullen now," said Anthony, in his peculiar aria. "Time flies, doesn't it? In the blink of an eye, you've grown so tall." ——It seems that you are doing well, don’t you? The Cullen family’s doting on you has made you lose your original vigor long ago? I haven’t forgotten the boy in Alaska—”

The vampire stretched out his right hand playfully. —Only four fingers on it.

"Oh, let me explain to you guys. - I made a deal with James. - I got him Isabella Swann, put him in a very funny show, and you got me , she belongs to him. Isn't this a perfect ending?" Anthony looked up, "Right? James?"

"Whoosh" sound. ——The blond vampire who was staying on the roof immediately appeared in the hall with a very satisfied smile.

"Very satisfied." James said softly, "I haven't seen such a good show for decades."

"Your interests are quite strange.—You know? I once saw people with the same thoughts as you in a mental hospital." Edmund said through gritted teeth, "Don't be delusional, they will kill you."

"Oh, I don't think you need to worry about this issue for now, right?" Anthony sighed, seemingly ignoring the boy's evaluation of them, "The next thing is the highlight, the finale. —— Seeing the camera hidden next to the curtain Is it? It occurred to me that I could show this video to Dr. Cullen sometime. How do you think he would react?"

James let out a muffled laugh.

"My favorite thing is when two people who are on the same side turn against each other.—Look, I've achieved my goal now, don't I?" Anthony began to pace slowly, which made him look like a cat. A cheetah waiting for an opportunity to hunt, "Do you think the father and son will fight when they see this place?"

"No." The boy and Bella said in unison.

"Oh! ridiculous trust," said the vampire with disdain. "Trust is the most useless thing in this world, Edmund Cullen.—Let me tell you from my own experience, boy. Know Why did I kill the Paces?"

"Because you're a scumbag."

"No! 'Scum' isn't the word for me. Maybe it's for your parents? Edgar Pace and Leah Gernold."

"They were my adoptive parents."

"It looks like you've lived all these years and still don't know anything, don't you? Well, I'll tell you, poor thing. — Your parents and I have been classmates since high school. Of course, your father is my best friend." Dude. I dated Leah in college, we got married after graduation, and then we had Peter. Yes, Edmund, Peter is my son." Anthony looked very satisfied with the boy's behavior at this time. Emoji, "And then, your mother, that bitch, she betrayed me."—he hooked up with Edgar Pace while I was away on a project in Africa, and then there was you. "

"They thought I died of illness in South Africa, but they didn't expect that I would come back alive. ——I went to see them, but was stunned by Leah with a shovel and thrown into the mountains, and then she persuaded Edgar, who was a lawyer, not to Know what little tricks were used to get a drug smuggling charge on my head."

"But will I stay in it safely? It's impossible. - They also realized this, so they temporarily sent Peter, who was only 3 years old, and you, who was less than one year old, to an orphanage in London. Didn't take you all back until you were 8, of course since the dean was Edgar's aunt so no one would get word out. But I guess after you were 'adopted' they didn't say they were you biological parents, yes. I don't think they dare."

"I spent more than ten years breaking out of prison, and then I went back to small towns in Alaska, found the address of the Pace family, and broke into their house at 1 o'clock in the morning. - I shot and killed Edgar, then stabbed that bitch into a hornet's nest with a dagger. But I obviously ignored you little guy. Yeah, Edgar has always been a tough character, I saw it in high school How can his son be inferior when he smashes the thought robber with a brick until his skull is shattered? Now you know why I killed you? Eh? Edmund... Edgar and Leah's love, oh , What a cute little crystal, I cut off my finger when I jumped up." The vampire let out a piercing laugh, "When I saw you, I thought of those two people, so I can't wait to stuff you into a meat grinder Break it into pieces! Yes, you are right, I am indeed crazy."

"... Just when I turned around and was about to kill you, I found out that you had found a new shelter. - The Karen family. The surgeon kept you almost airtight, and I couldn't find a chance at all Take you from under their wings. But can I just give up like this? No, no."

"I still have the most powerful weapon in my hand.—Yes, that's what I thought.—Peter, he knew I was his father almost the first time he saw me. Silly boy, he Trusted me so much, thought I was perfectly safe. But he soon learned he was wrong."

"I found an abandoned factory in the woods near Kinlunga and locked him in. - recorded that video. Yes, his ridiculous love made him willing to sacrifice himself to protect you, so you to live to this day."

"Then, when I was thinking hard how to kill you from Carlisle Cullen, I met my creator. He heard my story and decided to turn me into a vampire.— Because he likes to watch good shows." After that, he turned his head and looked at James, who was still fanatical. "That's how I found out that your new family members are also blood races.——This is simply too surprising, Edmund. But that's right, if it was an ordinary human being, I would have already succeeded, so there is no need to do so It took a lot of trouble to 'invite' you over."

"So you understand now, Edmund?—I, come for vengeance."

The author has something to say: This is today's update.

So the background of the murder case was like this 2333333333

Some people say that I blacked out Bella.Well, actually I don't think so. —Bella didn't completely distrust Edmund.She would ask her mother questions, which shows that she still has some concerns, but unfortunately, Anthony was asked right after watching that videotape (the guessing question of the exam is nothing more than that ==. As the saying goes "No coincidence makes a book" Well, that's how it is in the novel.) Then Edmund shot "Renee" without giving any explanation. — Bella must be very angry.

For a person who has been disturbed by vampires such as James and has not slept or eaten for the past few days and is so nervous, if Ed kills her mother in person again. ——She will definitely go berserk!Anyway, if I were Bella at this time, I would have no reason to regard Ed as a murderer, and then pick up the [God Hidden] gun and bang a few times.

So things develop like this, both of them are responsible.And it seems to me that Edmund has more responsibility. ——After all, he and Bella didn't know each other well enough that it was normal for others to doubt him.

So speaking of this, some people may say that I wrote Edmund too stupidly. — Well, after all, Edmund is also a human being.Because after what happened a few years ago, of course he would be more afraid of vampires and their talents.And "Renee" just made him suspicious and scared him at the same time.Isn't it said that human beings are impulsive creatures?You can find it by watching various bloody films abroad.If people get scared, they don't care about anything. ——Let me feel at ease before I talk! —That was Edmund's thought at the time.

Well, don't be too strict with him, no matter what, he's only 17 years old. —Anyway, when I was 17, I was relatively naive. [Speaking as if I am sensible now 233333333]

Come, let's light a candle for little Edmund.

Ah, I forgot that I foolishly said in the comments yesterday that "the gun [] goes [] fire". ——Forgive me, I was really stupid and didn't explain clearly.What I was going to say was that Bella with the gun was out of control. ——That is to say, "Bella went off the rails" 2333333 didn't know what happened at that time, so he just posted it without even thinking about it==.Please forgive my momentary brain block. 【bow】
