[Twilight] Give me sunshine

Everything seemed to stop in an instant, the pain, fire, and screams all disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind that was too late for my ears.

The whole world was suddenly quiet. Joan slowly waited for herself to calm down, and opened her eyes cautiously. It wasn't the scorched earth and darkness she imagined, nor was it a paradise with all sides white. She saw Caius from a blank space.

She thought that everything in front of her eyes was an illusion, and she slowly reached out her hand to touch his face, drawing out a strand of his golden hair with burn marks, blinking, looking around, trying to determine the situation in a daze .

The five people had been restrained by the Volturi guards from a distance, Jane stood beside Caius frowning, Carlisle and Emmett stopped not far away and looked at her worriedly, Esme had already run to Beside her, nervously checking her condition.

"Esme, don't worry." Joan tried her best to laugh, trying to comfort her: "I'm fine, just a little weak."

"It's all right, kid." Esme sighed softly, patting her on the back.

"well."

Joan nodded to Esme, letting her go back to Carlisle with peace of mind, and turned to look at Caius. Regarding the current situation, she wanted to ask something, but saw that he was afraid, and only lowered his eyes. Whispered, "Cairus, may I speak to you?"

Caius didn't speak, he helped her up silently, hugged her by the waist, and was about to leave, when he heard Jane reminded in a low voice respectfully behind him: "We disrupted the master's plan by doing this, we..."

"He also betrayed the agreement with me, you tell him," Caius didn't look back, his tone became more and more cold: "If there is a next time, the Volturi will no longer be the current Volturi."

Joan curled up in his arms, not wanting to care about what he and Jane said, her heart was in a mess, and there were also countless questions seeking an answer, and she didn't know where to start.

×××

Joan didn't expect that Caius would take her home, and she was gently placed on the sofa chair in the room. She leaned back, but stared at Caius intently, as if he was afraid that he would walk away.

Caius looked at her like this, curled his lips helplessly, and took off the cloak in front of her. Just when Joan thought he would continue to take it off and quickly covered her eyes, he squatted down on one knee in front of her, He looked at her without saying a word.

Joan slowly put down her hand, only to find that the back of the cloak was full of burnt marks. She felt empty, and looked up at him. They looked at each other for a long time without saying a word. Caius knew that she had a lot of doubts in her heart. Waiting for her to ask the exit.

"You are hurt?"

"kindness."

"Where? Let me see."

Caius turned around when he heard this, and lifted the half-burned shirt on the back. There were indeed burn marks on the skin, but it was not a big problem for the vampire, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered without pain or itching.

But Joan looked at Caius as if he was really hurt, and hesitated again in his heart, should he care about him?

So she stretched out her hand and touched it lightly, feeling Caius's body tremble slightly for a moment, she quickly withdrew her hand, got up and wanted to go to Edward's room to get him a change of clothes.

As soon as she stood up, Caius grabbed her and looked at her with burning eyes.

"I'll help you find a dress, you wait for me here."

"En." He replied quickly, but he still didn't let go of his hand.

"Cairus?"

Caius looked at the hand held by him and shook his head, "Come back in 2 minutes."

Joan nodded and sighed, went out and turned right to Edward's room, took out a piece of clothing that hadn't been unpacked, and walked back.They went straight to the bathroom in the room, pulled out a white towel, soaked it slightly in water, and walked to the sofa in front of Caius and sat down again. The whole process took less than a minute.

She lifted her chin toward him, motioning for him to turn back and turn his back on her.Caius didn't resist at all, and obediently took off his shirt to expose his back.

Joan wiped the black ash on his back bit by bit with a towel, because facing his back, she had the courage to ask her question: "It was you who brought those five people here Is it?"

Caius suddenly stiffened, and seemed to be gradually losing strength.After a long time, I heard him reply with two short words: "Yes."

"You think..." Joan slowly stopped her hands, her fingers trembling uncontrollably, "Kill us?"

The two were so close that Caius could even feel her breath when she spoke.

"No, I never thought of doing this to you."

Joan lowered her head, not wanting to answer directly, put the towel aside, reached out and handed him the new shirt, "Have you made an agreement with Luo?"

"Yes." Caius took the clothes, but didn't put them on immediately.

"What does he want to do?"

"He wants Alice and Edward."

Joan closed her eyes and leaned heavily on Caius' back with her forehead. When Caius said this, she could already understand what Aro meant.From the first time he knew the abilities of Alice and Edward, Aro had already shown great interest. From the time he fought for Jane and Alec, it can be seen that in order to get the ability users he wanted, massacring the group was nothing but An episode.It's just that she didn't expect that this episode would also happen to the Karen family, and it would happen to her.

"how about you?"

"I want you."

"..."

"So, you think that if there is no one in the Karen family, I will go to Volturi with you?" Joan stood up in disbelief, with obvious sobs in her voice.

"So you and Luo reached a consensus and have been carrying out the plan!"

"Cairus!"

He turned around anxiously, looked at Joan's appearance, and suddenly panicked in his heart: "I know, I shouldn't do this."

"That night in town, I heard what you were saying to me."

"You didn't see me, because I didn't dare to show up."

For the first time, Joan spoke to him with such doubt and pain in his tone.Caius' pride had long since disappeared: "I know how important the Karen family is to you."

"So I ordered Jane to stop everything."

"Joan, I..." Caius carefully leaned his head on Joan's shoulder, buried his face in her neck, wrapped his hands around her waist gently, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Joan was silent, not knowing what to do for a while.

The guilt and fear of the Karen family crawled all over her body bit by bit, and she felt her whole body go weak, and she fell on Caius without strength.

Maybe she couldn't blame Caius for it, the whole thing shouldn't have happened in the first place, it wasn't mentioned in the book, and Renee Smee wouldn't break the serenity of her life with it.It was because of her arrival that disrupted the rhythm of the story. Without her, Arrow would not have thought of designing such a plan with Caius, and the Karen family would not have to take such a risk.
