[Twilight] Give me sunshine

The morning in Volterra was silent, with the unique comfort and leisure of a small town. When they set foot on the brick road in Volterra, Aro seemed to have noticed it a long time ago, and sent Dmitri to lead to Volterra. Wait at the end of the trail in Turi.

Dmitry was respectful and serious, clasped his hands and stared ahead, not squinting at the people passing by, as if he had been waiting for a long time.Seeing their figures, neither of them was surprised, especially Caius, who knew Aro's orders all too well.

He waved his hand blankly, and Dmitry immediately understood what he meant, bowed slightly in their direction, and left in a hurry.

Without his explanation, Joan could figure out what Dmitri's presence meant: "Aro knows we're here."

"kindness."

"Shall we go straight there?"

"Don't be in such a hurry."

She knew it wasn't a matter of time, but Caius worried about her finding excuses for her delay.Seeing the way Caius spoke lightly, she couldn't help jumping for joy.

Joan tugged at the hem of Caius's cloak, as if discouraged and as if giving herself courage, and then laughed again: "Let's go, Aro should have been waiting for a long time."

Caius raised his eyebrows and looked at her when he heard this, until he confirmed that she was serious and not forced, then he patted her on the head and walked forward with his half arms around her.

Both of them are very familiar with the road to Volturi. Even if the speed is slowed down, it is only a dozen or 10 minutes away.They walked like couples walking out after breakfast, leisurely and leisurely.Watching the Volturi's hidden entrance become clearer and larger with each step, Joan became calmer and calmer. Her imagination and memories continued to amplify her fear and challenge her endurance, but when she actually came here, she realized that The worst consequences the Volturi could bring her had already been felt a few times before.Now it's just a multiple-choice question of yes or no, but no matter whether Volturi's affirmation or not, they are already a definite answer to each other.

What she wanted to win for Caius was nothing more than a word of family approval.

Stepping into the familiar hall where I stood when I first came to Volturi, the stone walls on all sides still carried a cold breath.The impenetrable light, the impenetrable temperature, even the daytime is like night.The people in the Volturi have been waiting for a long time. Jane, Alec, Dmitri, Felix...every face is familiar compared to the first time they came.They stood in a semi-arc on both sides, and the hall was silent for a long time.

Ah Luo sat on the red sandalwood and gold-edged aristocratic chair as a status symbol. When he saw them coming into view, he broke the cold mask and slowly got up, showing a half-satisfied half-haughty smile.

Marcus was still the same as any other time, neither participating nor expressing, with consistent melancholy and loneliness, as if he didn't care about what was going to happen.

"Welcome home, lovely Joan and my dear brother." Aro seemed very excited, walked up to Caius in a few steps, gave him a warm hug, and then wanted to hold his hand without accident hand, to pry into his memory.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Caius suddenly grabbed Ah Luo's wrist forcefully, and easily withdrew his hand before Ah Luo could react.

Maybe it was because he didn't expect Caius to resist him, or maybe it was the first time he was rejected.Ah Luo was stunned for a while, then immediately pretended not to care, and sewed up his soon-to-be-broken mask.

"You may be tired. My younger brother always likes to leave Volturi and go to some...far places."

Ah Luo folded his hands and turned his back to them, facing Marcus, his tone exaggerated sadness: "I'm really worried."

"Ah Luo, the foreplay can be over." Caius was not interested in continuing with him, "Let's start directly."

Ah Luo shook his head and turned back, looking at him with a disappointed expression: "Caius, you are getting impatient, you never used to get bored so easily."

"Well, since you don't like it, then follow your will."

He clapped his hands, as if announcing something to everyone, but the content contained his usual ambiguity, "My dear brother, I want to be recognized by the Volturi."

"As an elder brother, I have always supported him, but this time, as the leader of the Volturi family, I cannot ignore everyone and make decisions for you."

"My lovely Joan." Aro gently stroked a strand of black hair that was half loose on Joan's shoulders, and kissed politely on his lips, "I extend my sincere welcome to your arrival, the Volturi have always liked You capable families."

Gradually, Ah Luo withdrew the smile on his face and merged into the coldness of the others around him: "Just, I'm sorry, as one of the leaders, Caius, my younger brother, the Volturi may find it difficult to accept his spouse It's different from us..."

"lifestyle."

"The Volturi's blood is pure and powerful, and it will not change whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years. Caius is a member of the family, and he should know... the meaning of the Volturi best."

With the pride in his heart, he slowly returned to his seat. The luxurious carvings on the back of the chair and the atmosphere around him set him off in an imposing manner, and it was easier for him to utter one sentence after another: "Wol Turi has always tolerated capable families and accepted them to join, but it was not at the price of Volturi's blood."

"It may be difficult for vegetarians to adapt to the rules of the Volturi, and it is also difficult to fully accept our rules sincerely."

"I can only choose to object, and I express my sincere regret, ma'am." Arrow wanted to show his generosity and tolerance after expressing his position, "But this will not affect the relationship between our families, Wal The Turi and Cullen families have always been friendly."

What he meant was very clear. The Volturi could only accept the Karen family as guards and ability users. The status of vegetarians or even outsiders destroyed their proud noble blood, but the Volturi Because of this, it will not tear up the balance relationship maintained on the surface with the Karen family.As long as they give up, everything will be back to normal.

Regardless of whether Aro really doesn't mind their challenge to the Volturi, and whether he really won't take any measures against them, such a promise of calm return to the past will indeed shake many people's hearts and discourage them.

Caius had already been mentally prepared for everything he said, and everything was in his imagination. He knew that Luo's thoughts could not be changed, and the choices he made would not be reversed, so he didn't do any more. excuse.

Unhurriedly, face the negation succinctly and clearly: "According to Volturi's practice, the three of us have the right to choose."

"Since it's one-on-one, it can only be decided by Marcus, my brother, what do you think?"

Ah Luo seemed to be very satisfied with this agreement, if it progressed like this, it couldn't be smoother.Marcus has always been indifferent to these matters, and he routinely followed his decisions on matters involving the Volturi, and would not make any irrational decisions impulsively.Compared to Caius who was swayed by love, Marcus sitting in front of him was more certain.

"Of course, the Volturi rule."

Aro's eyes were filled with the light of victory, and only at this moment did he reveal a real smile, his tone full of impatient and uncontrollable anticipation: "So, what is your choice, Marcus?"

It was from this moment that Marcus came back to his senses as if from a dream. He wasn't impatient, but he really didn't care. Even when the eyes of the surroundings were cast on him, he seemed to be sitting alone in the lonely darkness. .

He didn't move at all, his eyebrows and eyes were still calm and unwavering, he merged the dead silence of his body, and suppressed the atmosphere even lower at this moment.

But Marcus quickly made his choice, and the speed and content exceeded everyone's expectations.There was no ups and downs in the tone, and there was a tired desolation in the low voice: "I support you, Ms. Joan Karen."

"May you be in eternal life, and your love will last forever."

At this moment, he raised his eyes to look at Joan, and for the only time there was a faint light in his eyes.

The author has something to say: Thank you everyone, we are at the end.
