[Comprehensive British and American] vampires modern daily life

For several days, Eunice did not see Caius who "wouldn't care about those little things" again.

Aro wasn't worried about Caius' sudden disappearance. When he was standing in the Volturi castle, he always had a gentle smile on his face, and clasped his hands in front of him, as if Like an easy-going elder, he seemed to be more talkative than the unsmiling Volturi guards in black cloaks.

In the past few days, Eunice has also met those famous Volturi guards in the vampire world one by one.

Jane, who has the body burning technique that makes many vampires fear, is a little girl who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with blond hair and red eyes, and an expressionless face. With her disastrous skin, she looks more like an exquisite marble... Statue; Jane's younger brother Alex, who has the ability to make people lose consciousness, has a delicate appearance and is a little green.

There was obvious curiosity in his eyes when he saw Eunice for the first time, but after catching a glimpse of Ah Luo's smiling face, he lowered his head again and stood behind Jane.

Eunice smiled at him, and he gave a big grin.

"You're back, Luo." Although Jane looked young, she was surprisingly mature when she spoke.

"Yes, after all, there are still a lot of things that I need to deal with." Luo nodded, "Caius said that during this period of time, the two fish that slipped through the net in Romania have become restless again, and he plans to take you and Alec to deal with it." Get rid of these two miscellaneous fish."

"Yes." Jane nodded slightly.

"Caius is losing his temper with me now, I can't find him, let's put this matter aside, there are other things to deal with." After Ah Luo finished giving instructions, he led Eunice forward and left After a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and asked, "Has Heidi got the room ready?"

"It's ready." Jane said, "Just wait... for Miss Eunice to move in."

The room Arlo prepared for Eunice is right across from her. Compared to her small apartment in Brooklyn, this room can be said to be luxurious, with bookcases filling an entire wall and soft and luxurious handcrafts. The carpet and even the pattern of the lampshade of the bedside lamp were carefully carved. When Eunice sat on the edge of the bed, she was still thinking about why she had to prepare such a big bed because vampires don't sleep.

However, when she buried her face in the pillow and asked about the faint sweet rose fragrance, she felt that having a bed was very important.

As a human, the daily destination is such a bed, which holds the tired body and leads the person to the energetic morning of the next day.Although for Eunice, her human memory is only 19 years, but that is her first and most impressive memory.

She turned on the bedside lamp, only to find that on the bedside lamp was a picture of a huntress with a high bun, holding a bow and arrow, and wearing a short skirt.

"Artemis." Eunice murmured, then she leaned against the head of the bed and smiled, remembering Didymi's eyes shining brightly at her.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Eunice walked to the window. There was an empty crystal bottle on the windowsill. She carefully walked around the bottle and pushed open the stained glass window. Her window was facing a lake. There was still a thin mist, and it was slowly rising and surging. She could hear the melodious singing of birds hundreds of meters away, and the sound of fish tails flapping on the water surface.

There were a few light footsteps in the corridor outside the house, and then someone knocked lightly on his door.

She gathered up the nightgown on her body, walked to the door, and smelled a faint fragrance of roses through the crack of the door. She opened the door a crack, and saw the boy named Alec she saw the day before, holding a Holding a bouquet of roses, his smiling face was extraordinarily bright behind the bouquet of roses: "Ah Luo has accumulated a lot of official documents to be approved after he went to New York, so I will help him bring over today's roses."

Eunice looked at the roses in full bloom, and was stunned: "Today's roses?"

"Yes, there is a greenhouse by the lake, which is used to grow flowers." Alec said, "This room has been kept since the castle was built. Aro said that you like roses, so you bring a bouquet every day. come over."

Eunice took the bouquet from his arms and said with a low laugh, "Every day?"

"Yes, every day." Alec smiled and touched the back of his head, "I knew this room that no one lived in when I first arrived in Volturi. It was Dmitri who told me that this room belonged to a The wandering lady, we didn’t know that the name of the wandering lady was Eunice until after your book was published more than 100 years ago.” He paused, then muttered softly, “See The portrait of the author in the book surprised me, but fortunately Dmitry told me the truth."

Eunice couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and then asked, "How old are you?"

"Almost a thousand years old."

"I wasn't asking about the age," Eunice said.

Alec was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems, it is 15 years old, I can't remember clearly."

"15 years old..." Eunice sighed in a daze.

When she was 15 years old, she was still running wildly in the streets. At that time, she didn't know her future destiny, and she was still the carefree Princess Eunice under her father's knee.

Holding the scissors in her hand, she slowly trimmed the excess branches and leaves of the roses, and then inserted them into the glass bottle on the window sill. The mist on the lake outside the window had gradually dissipated, revealing the light blue water surface, and the wind blowing A corner of the curtain trembled slightly, and the sound was subtle, but the sound could be heard.

"I transplanted some roses from the Gulf of Corinth, but I'm afraid they can't be called wild roses at this time."

Eunice turned her head and saw Aro standing in front of her door, having changed into the gorgeous and voluminous robe again, dragging a heavy cape.

He still had a smile on his face, and when he saw Eunice turning his head to look at him, the smile in his eyes deepened, and then he opened his long legs, walked towards her quickly, and stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms , Whispered in her ear: "Do you know, since I repaired this castle, I will open this door every day, hoping to see you standing in front of the window trimming roses like before."

Eunice smiled, put the scissors aside the vase, and then patted Ah Luo's arm: "I heard from Alec that you have accumulated a lot of business during the time you have been away from New York."

"It can't be helped. Caius doesn't like to deal with paperwork, and Marcus is not interested in anything." He paused, then fell silent, and put his chin on Eunice's shoulder.

Eunice watched as a few birds flapped their wings and flew down from the pine branches by the lake, touched the lake surface lightly, and then flew to a higher place. to be invisible.

"Where's Marcus?" Eunice asked.

After a long time, Ah Luo said: "He has been staying in his room, and will not show up unless necessary."

Eunice sighed and said, "I'll go see him."

Ah Luo suddenly held her hand in his palm, so tight that even Eunice felt uncomfortable, he buried his cheek in the back of Eunice's neck, and made a seal between her shoulders and neck. A cold kiss and whispered, "Don't leave me again, Eunice, you have punished me for over 2000 years."

Eunice smiled: "No."

"I'm afraid." Ah Luo's voice became lower and lower.

"So were you ever afraid?" Eunice said.

"I don't know..." Ah Luo murmured, "I don't know."

Marcus, one of the three Volturi elders, did not live on the upper floors of the castle like the other two elders. He lived alone in an empty room at the corner of the castle. There is no gorgeous Baroque chandelier, and when Eunice opened the door, she could only see darkness. Even though the vampire had excellent eyesight, Eunice still felt that the place was too dark and cheap.

She took a step toward the house, and immediately heard the echo of her footsteps.

She froze for a moment, then looked up, and saw a hard and cold stone chair in the center of the room. From her angle, she could only see the side of the stone chair. A person was sitting on the chair, resting his forehead with his hand, It didn't move at all, as if it was a stone sculpture placed on a stone chair.

In the whole room, apart from this stone chair, there is only one painting on the wall opposite the stone chair.

Eunice's fingers trembled slightly, she opened her mouth to call out the person's name, but first heard a voice with a smile: "You are here."

That voice was very gentle, different from the gentleness that Ah Luo deliberately pretended to be, it was a natural soft voice, although there was a hoarseness in the voice that had been exhausted for a long time, it still had an impulse that made people want to cry when they heard it.

"I'm here, Marcus." Eunice managed to calm down and replied softly.

"You're finally back, I can see that you and Luo have reunited, it's great." He slowly got up from the stone chair, walked to the portrait opposite, and carefully traced the outline of the person in the painting , then turned his head, looked at Eunice, and said with a smile, "She will be happy too."

Eunice's tears fell from her eyes suddenly, so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

Marcus shook his head and said, "Eunice, as a sister, how can she cry in front of her sister? She should be sad when she sees it. She just wants others to be happy because of her."

"You've been guarding her like this for so many years?" Eunice hurriedly wiped away her tears, and then took a few steps forward.

"Yes." Marcus smiled.

"You don't need light?"

"She is my light."

"You don't need company?"

"I'm not lonely when I'm with her."

"More than 2000 years, is it worth it?"

"I love her, and it's worth it." Marcus said lightly, "I can't even go with her, so I can only spend my endless time thinking about her, only in this way, I won't be so desperate. "

"Eunice, you are alive, and Luo is still alive. As long as life and death are not separated, we should stop torturing each other." Marcus said, turning his head and looking at the painting.

The girl in the painting has long dark brown slightly curly hair, fair skin, soft appearance, and her eyes are narrowed with a smile, like two crescent moons. She is wearing the popular yellow Stola among ancient Roman girls, but she holds a bow and arrow in her hand. It seems that the next moment will be to tie up the skirt, step on the horse, and gallop across the hunting ground like Artemis, the goddess of hunting.

That's Didymi.

Didymi who stays forever.
