"Why did the Volturi lure them here?"

"Ah Luo has always done things with a strong purpose." Carlisle frowned, "When you come to Forks, it's mostly for us."

"Whatever he wants to do, we try not to confront them head-on."

"Let's get ready for the next two days."

On the same day, Edward and the others packed their luggage and drove south, planning to take Renee Smee to live in Phoenix, Arizona, where Bella used to live for a few days, then detour to Wyoming, and return to Washington at about the same time.

When sending them away in the garage, Joan suddenly felt a little uneasy, looking at Renesmee's eyes full of worry, it seemed that something was changing unconsciously, and everything seemed to be gradually not on the track she expected.She caressed Renee Smee's delicate cheek from the car window, trying to pull out a comforting smile.

Renee Smee also felt her sadness, and stretched out her small hand to touch her face, and smiled at her understandingly: "Auntie, when I come back, let's plant flowers together, we will definitely not miss the flowering period. "

"it is good."

"I'll bring you a cactus from Phoenix."

"it is good."

"Goodbye, Auntie."

Joan nodded and waved to her. The blue Volvo in his sight gradually drove away, and the anxiety in his heart gradually rose.She couldn't tell whether this unease came from the coming vampires or the departing Renee Smee. No matter which one, everything was still an unknown danger to them.

Joan turned her head, looked at Alice, and asked the question she was most confused about: "Alice, you see that we will fight, did the Volturi people make a move?"

Alice shook her head heavily: "This is also the strangest thing about me. Could it be that they are simply bringing conflicts to us?"

"Because of Carlisle, Voltules and our family have maintained at least superficial peace for a long time." Jasper said: "What's more, he knows Alice's ability."

"He knew we were going to see something, but he was reckless."

"Everything waits for the people they attract to Fox the day after tomorrow, maybe we will have some clues."

Carlisle nodded: "That's all we can do first, let's get ready and 'greet' them in the forest the day after tomorrow."

Watching everyone gradually leaving the garage, Joan thought for a while, took out the key and pressed the unlock button, and was about to open the car door when Alice blocked her.

"I know what you're trying to do, Joan, and it's dangerous."

"I know, but it's always a way." Rather than staying where she didn't know and waiting for the danger to come, she might as well ask Caius, since he was willing to ask Dmitry to remind her, maybe What else could he tell her.

"And whether he says it or not, where do you go to find him?"

"He's at Forks, Alice." Joan pulled Alice's hand away, opened the car door and got in. "If I haven't met him, it's not that I can't find him, but that he doesn't want to see me."

Alice knew she couldn't stop her, so she could only sigh, and left her last sentence before she looked away: "Be careful with Jane."

Joan had already driven to the highway, put her hand out of the car window to say 'ok', and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Forks wasn't that big after all, and she drove around town twice without meeting any Volturi.She drove out of the town and headed for the forest. From the west entrance to the werewolf border, except for the occasional residents of the town, it was basically peaceful.

Standing in the center of the forest, watching the moonlight getting thicker, Qiong felt a sense of powerlessness, maybe Caius really didn't want to see her.

Parked the car at the intersection of the forest, and walked slowly towards the town, passing by the small donut shop, remembering the way Caius looked at her, she paced and slowly moved to the place where he had stood, the same Looking in the direction of the dessert shop.

"Caius, are you there?"

Joan's voice was almost inaudible, as if she wanted to tell Caius, but also as if she was speaking to herself: "No matter what will happen, I hope my family is safe, and I also hope you are safe."

After saying that, she turned around and left, walking towards Karen's house with heavy steps, without noticing the cloak hidden behind her.

When she got home, Alice was still waiting for her in the living room. When she saw her enter the door without making a sound, she looked sad and didn't ask any questions. She just raised the mobile phone in her hand and shook it: "Edward and the others have arrived in Oregon State, all is well."

"That's good."

"It's just that Jacob still followed, and sure enough, he still couldn't get rid of this 'wolf' haha..."

Joan gradually relaxed because of Alice's words, paused and said, "I didn't find Caius."

"Did you find it or didn't see it?"

"I didn't see it." She seemed to be very tired, she leaned on the sofa, closed her eyes, covered them with her backhand, and murmured: "But I can feel his smell."

"He used to say that my smell was special to him."

"I don't know when it started, but I suddenly understood this kind of specialness."

"He avoids me. Is it because of Ah Ro, or just because of me?"

It's not like she hasn't thought about the problems between them these days. Even if one day, she overcomes her own psychological barrier and accepts his blood-sucking habit, will the Volturi be able to accept her 'vegetarianism'?She didn't dare to think too much, and let herself be immersed in slim hope. It was impossible for her to support their relationship with only this slightest hope in the long years.Since one day her hope would be completely denied by the Volturi, would she choose to accept it now?

It's just that she wanted to resist the Volturi, but it was not so easy to resist Caius.The hope she wanted to discard was not held tightly in her hand for a moment.

"Joan, I don't know what conflicts there are between you and Caius." Alice moved her right hand that was covering her eyes, looked directly into her eyes, and said slowly, "But, you can try Leave it to him."

"Sometimes you think a lot and worry a lot, but it's easy to fall into negativity."

"You have to believe that with Caius' strength, nothing can stop him."

Joan lowered her eyebrows and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't agree, but she didn't deny it either.After a long time, after Alice also left the room, she sighed softly, closed her eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa, and the room was quiet.

Meet the attracted vampires, but only for an hour or so, they stand on the edge of the Forks forest, waiting for their arrival from the east.

In a thick fog, they saw the five vampires coming, just like what Alice saw, three men and two women, one of them seemed to be a husband and wife, both of them were black, and the wife was the friendliest of the five. of.The remaining three people are all white, and they are still well-dressed even though they are dusty. The woman has curly brown hair, serious eyebrows and eyes, and looks very tense.The five people all looked in a hurry, looking for something along the way, without any greetings to the long-awaited Karen family, they raised their hands unexpectedly.

The black man quickly stepped forward and wanted to strangle Carlisle standing in the middle, grabbing his shoulders, but Carlisle broke free easily, and was almost caught by Emmett and Jasper on both sides.His wife arrived in time and pushed Jasper. He suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in front of him, and his breath was disordered.The husband and wife seemed to have a tacit understanding. They glanced at each other and retreated two steps flatly. When the three behind them stepped forward to attack Alice and Joan, they tried to catch Esme by surprise.

Fortunately, they were well prepared. Emmett and Jasper counterattacked from the side at the right time. Joan and Alice focused on pestering the white girl. Carlisle protected Esme but was strangled by the black man's right arm.

"I think we need a little communication." Carlisle intervened in a timely manner, "You probably have some misunderstanding."

"We have nothing to talk about with the Volturi." The black man who strangled Carlisle glanced at him, "You also didn't give us a chance to explain 100 years ago."

After that, he secretly tried hard, trying to break Carlisle's arm, but saw the white man who was grabbed by Emmett and Jasper together.

"Derrick!"

Jasper's arms were clamped tightly under his jaw, muscles tensed, as if if he did something to Carlisle, he'd snap his head off.

The black man weighed two and three, let go of his hands and raised his chin to them.

Carlisle took a step back, led Esme back into the line, and nodded at Jasper, who let go of Jasper and Emmett.

Neither side tried their best, like a trial.Seeing that the Karen family did not intend to fight, the two sides just returned to a confrontational state.

"The Volturi has nothing to do with us." Carlisle tried to change their views, "Our family has long settled in the small town of Forks, thousands of miles away from Italy."

"If you are not related, why would the Volturi guards seek your protection?"

"Guard? Asylum?"

"We saw Jane coming in your direction."

"Tomorrow morning, wait in place."

After finishing speaking, they didn't want to talk more, as if they had confirmed the relationship between them, they couldn't change their minds, and they left from the original direction.
