[Twilight] Give me sunshine

Joan was very surprised by Marcus's choice and actions. She didn't have much communication with him in Volturi or before. Compared with him, she is more familiar with Aro. .Not to mention that Marcus would stand up for what she had done, the only explanation she could think of was Caius.

She smiled gratefully at Marcus' kindness, but Marcus didn't seem to care about their reactions, nodded slightly, looked away again, and returned to silence, as if nothing had happened like silence.

The person who couldn't accept this sudden change the most was Ah Luo who was in a daze and even kept his movements as before.

He seemed to have never imagined such a result at all, and it was difficult for him to get out of the few words of Marcus.With a stiff body and a cool smile, he slowly retracted his gaze from Marcus, and turned to Caius who was walking in front of him step by step.

"Ah Luo, the result has already been produced." Caius walked extremely slowly, not only to give Ah Luo time, but also as if torturing him, every movement made it more difficult to maintain the smile on Ah Luo's face.

Aro recovered from the momentary stagnation, put on his arrogance again, and stood up from the high chair, "I think it's about the Volturi, and we need some time to discuss it."

"No need." Caius stopped in front of him, leaned slightly to look at him, and the hostility released from his body made Aro pause suddenly.

Jane and Alec, who were near Ah Luo, couldn't help but lower their heads and look away, and even the guards around them kept silent to avoid sight.For a while, apart from Marcus, who didn't care much, only Joan looked nervously at the confronting two people.

"No matter how long it takes, we will only have two results." Caius didn't care whether everyone heard their conversation, and he didn't deliberately conceal it, "Volturi's acceptance, or my departure."

"At this time tomorrow, I'll come for the answer."

Caius returned to Joan's side, not wanting to watch Ah Luo's reaction, he half put his arms around the stunned Joan, and left the whole process easily as if he had finished watching a performance.

Before Joan could react from the sudden turn, Caius had the upper hand and led her away.She thought that coming to Volturi would be a tough battle, and she was well prepared mentally, but she didn't expect Caius to finish it off in a few clicks.

"Have you said anything to Marcus before?" was the only explanation she could think of.

"No, I just reminded him."

As Caius led her forward, he covered her body with a cloak that he didn't know where, until the whole body was tightly covered, and only a pair of eyes looked at him full of curiosity before continuing. .

"I didn't do anything, it was Arrow who did."

"Marcus's wife, Didymi, died centuries ago. She is Aro's sister." Caius didn't seem to like the memory of the past, frowning, all the stories were just passing through, without any detail.

"Only Ah Luo knows the specific situation, but the ending is the same. Marcus's silence is not always like this, and it has a lot to do with Didymi's death."

Joan suddenly realized: "It turned out that it was because Marcus thought of her that he reached out to help us."

Caius shook his head and sighed: "I think Marcus has been living in her world, but through you, he suddenly remembered us."

"Didemi's ability is to make people feel happy, but it has no effect on Aro." Caius seemed to laugh mockingly, tightly hugging Joan's hand, and did not stop in the slightest because of the memory.

Joan huddled in the large cloak and Caius' arms, feeling that even if she didn't take a step, she could be led forward. She quietly looked up at Caius, with unresolved warmth in her eyes : "I thought things would be difficult."

"Only by ensuring that everything is safe, can I bring you here with confidence."

"Then why didn't you tell me when I was nervous at Fox?"

Caius patted her on the head, and replied in a warm voice: "The bond between me and the Volturi may not be broken so easily. Your resistance to the Volturi is too deep, so it can be regarded as asking you to do something in advance. adapt."

"If Ah Ro ends up..."

"He'll take it."

Caius paused for a while, then turned around and gently half-opened her cloak, looking into her eyes: "If he is stubborn, then shall I go with you?"

Joan froze for a moment, she didn't expect Caius to ask such a question suddenly, she thought that most of the answers Caius gave were tough, arrogant, and with a strong sense of control, but he gave a completely weak answer .

She suddenly laughed and nodded seriously, feeling that it doesn't matter what reply Ah Luo gives, the best answer is already in front of her eyes.

Caius looked at her, couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her lips, which deepened as she froze.Lips and teeth were close, and the two kissed under the old stone wall only 300 meters away from Volturi, in the hottest time of the afternoon sun, wearing black robes and brocades, and under the shadow of the skirts.

The most different thing about the sunset in Volterra from other places is that the sun will disappear bit by bit along the old buildings of centuries ago, and it will be exhausted bit by bit, with the last lingering warmth, magnificent and twilight, but From the beginning to the end, it was impossible to touch the corner of Volturi.While everyone stopped to admire, the Volturi could never be seen.

Like all vampires, whether they hide from the sun, live in deep all day long, or choose a city with more rain than sunshine like the Karen family, it is more or less out of self-protection.Perhaps such a powerful and dark Volturi, from another perspective, is also a sign of weakness.

Joan stood on the edge of the road extending from the city of Volterra, and led by Caius, walked towards the forest.She didn't ask about the destination, and Caius didn't explain. The two held hands and walked slowly along the twisting and intertwined tree roots. From a distance, they looked like a young couple going hiking and camping.

When Caius stopped, the surroundings were almost completely dark, surrounded by the unique chirping and smell of summer insects, and in front of him was a secret tree house hidden in a corner of the forest.

The branches and leaves wrap the outline of the entire tree house, and are carefully and tightly hidden in the corner by the canopy.It is almost difficult for ordinary people to distinguish without careful inspection.

When Joan was still observing, she was suddenly hugged by Caius and jumped into the tree house in a few steps.

Different from what she imagined, the tree house is not a cold and humid atmosphere, but a 'mountain of books' covered everywhere.

Joan exclaimed, and picked up a book she liked "Prometheus Bound". She read this book more than three times when she was in college.

She turned to Caius with surprise and satisfaction.

Caius knew her preferences all too well, gently helped her take off the cloak, and stroked her black hair: "Welcome, my girl."
