[Twilight] Believer

He thought he could control it well, but the fact proved once again that all the vampire's guarantees in front of the blood were empty words. Alec licked the corner of his mouth, so the smell of the singer was so.It's amazing, isn't it?He never knew that the hunter Caius was going to capture would be his singer, but now he knew it clearly-after tasting Catherine's blood.

Alec's original dull red eyes became more and more coquettish with Catherine's blood loss, he took the time to show a innocent smile, even the dagger that Catherine stuck in his back could be ignored, even though the wound was short Difficult to heal in time.Catherine was drawn into the vortex of doom by the venom on Alec's teeth, and seemed to be dragged into a raging fire and burned.

Her remaining will forced her to pull out the dagger, Alec was caught off guard by the force and bounced a little away, and the little reason he had recovered told him that he must stop now, otherwise he would suffer the wrath from Caius.He wiped off the remaining blood around his mouth, and squinted his eyes to look at Catherine, just like looking at a sika deer that was covered in bruises but struggled hard in the hands of a cougar.

In this humiliating gaze, Catherine didn't intend to die with Alec. Before the venom made her unable to move, she hoped to at least save herself.

"Stop making unnecessary struggles, and just be an incompetent mortal!" The voice was between a man and a boy, soft and harsh.Catherine swallowed a breath, and stood still, her whole body was already roasted in the high temperature, so vampires, come and taste the taste of tumbling in the heat!

The only remaining pyrotechnic stick was lit and thrown at Alec while he was still savoring the taste of Catherine's blood.

"boom"

The flames of pride were set low on the banks of the Thames River. Alec's well-crafted suit fabric was extremely flammable, and the vampire's physique was naturally afraid of fire. He had no time to take care of Catherine. He saw a black shadow falling into the river quickly. I thought this would extinguish the flames on my body.

But is it possible for the pyrotechnic sticks that hunters use to deal with vampires to be easily extinguished?

Alec didn't come out of the river until Catherine was taken away by Max who escaped and rushed to him. When Jane was so angry that she rescued Alec, her whole face was as terrifying as a Rakshasa.

Catherine completed her transformation in a deserted underground railway. If she still had the mood to rejoice that she did not complete her transformation in an underground sewer like her predecessors, then she would not be as irritable and painful as she is now.

Max has been squatting beside her, seeing her becoming crazy but powerless, unknowingly and helpless tears dripping down her cheeks, from birth to now, this is the most powerless time.

Catherine was twitching and shaking all the time, she hugged her body, as if she was wrestling with someone, someone in her soul was tearing her consciousness apart—she resisted transformation.Her body was very cold, the temperature of her blood slowly left her, and her rosy complexion faded away. Max had no choice but to tie up her hands that were trying to hurt him with shoelaces.

She couldn't do anything except watch her best friend turn into a vampire. Her hatred and anger kept urging Max to make a decision, but she couldn't, even if the Karen family didn't change their inherent attitude towards vampires. I can't even agree, how could she kill her comrade-in-arms Catherine who was born and died together?

What's more, after getting along for a long time, they are not only teammates, comrades-in-arms, but also close friends and relatives. No matter what the reason is, she will not end Catherine's life, especially when Catherine is unconscious.

-

"Almighty Lord, merciful heavenly father... Forget it, no matter what name you should honor, I just ask you to take back the bad luck that happened to my friend Catherine. Whatever you want to take from me to offset it, please take it away." Go! Amen!" For the first time in his life, Max appeared in the church because he had a request, but did not attend the funeral.

Adhering to the concept of "the most dangerous is also the safest", after Catherine was transformed, Max did not take her out of the British Isle, but only moved from England to Scotland.

Since Catherine became a vampire, her disposition is not as gentle and sunny as before. She was originally a plant that grows towards the sun, but now she is forcibly transformed into a rose in the dark night. reason to live.Being a vampire is so much to get used to, and Max is Catherine's mentor as a hunter, not as a vampire.

Needless to say, as much as the newborn's appetite, the succulent will be as strong as it is.

How could Catherine, who was born human, and Max, who hated vampires deeply, extend the hand of seeking food to living humans?

However, Catherine rapidly weakened after eating the blood of a dead person by mistake. Later, she learned from an interactive encyclopedia that the blood of the dead would weaken vampires and even make them die.

"Look at them, Max, I've changed from 'she' to 'it'." Catherine's blood-red eyes are lifeless, her face is as pale as a wall, her beauty as a blonde stunner is more prominent, she can be a human The blood has disappeared.Max stretched out his hand to hold her, but she dodged it lightly. The girl only saw a gloomy sea of ​​blood for the future in her heart.

Catherine looked down at her hands, the bluish-white arteries disappeared, replaced by marbled skin, and said with a sad smile, "Why didn't you kill me?"

"Why?" She looked at Max.

And Max squatted next to her, and finally held her hand, earnestly: "When the hunt is over, Rosalie and Emmett will come to pick you up. Don't think too much, God knows The road to no one. Although these hands are small, they are always yours. If you don't love yourself, who will love you?"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, put on a raincoat and carried a backpack, and went out to search the blood banks of the hospitals in this area. This was the fifth time in the past two weeks.It is better to reserve space for Catherine to accept the established reality than to let her replay the collapse of the transformation day in front of her little by little.

It was raining heavily, and the pitch-black sky looked like a jug that had spilled water. Max stood under the street lamp and looked at this strange neighborhood carefully.The blood bag in the backpack is enough for Catherine to have a full stomach in the days to come, so as not to starve out of control.If you don't count the almost being discovered by the nurse on duty just now, today's harvest is quite satisfactory.

But how long can this kind of life last? If the vampires are still lingering on the entire island, wouldn't it be necessary for Catherine to endure this dark life that is comparable to a prison?

When I spoke to Dr. Carlisle a few days ago, their tone was full of apologies for Catherine becoming a vampire, and their willingness to adopt another child. Esme choked up and said that she would take good care of Catherine.Although they had scruples about the Volturi, they were not afraid. Their willingness to help Catherine was already out of the kindness of their friends, and Max was already grateful for that.

Rosalie snatched the phone and threw out a bunch of caring words about Catherine, but Max had to hang up the phone for safety reasons, and made an appointment to pick up Catherine at the end of the month.After finally getting the call back, Carlisle told Max the precautions for taking care of the newborn in a concise manner. The help their family gave Max brought tears to her eyelashes, and she couldn't help crying secretly when she hung up the phone.

It was so uncomfortable, more painful than her own injury. She couldn't help but think of the many hunter children who had spent their lives hunting vampires. How would the destroyed belief be rebuilt?

The rain finally showed some signs of stopping. Caius, who was wearing a huge dark red cloak, strolled in a corner of the city, with a quiet expressionless face, and even a little anger.He had already forgotten how many centuries he had maintained this slightly angry expression, anyway, he had long forgotten the age of peace of mind.

The raindrops were on his coat, and he didn't pay much attention to it, because he smelled a strong sweet smell in the air, blood type A, blood type O... there was still AB, and there were vampires having a booze party nearby, it was simply too much. It's crazy!

Following the smell, the person who entered the empty block turned out to be a human with a backpack...a girl?

Max turned his head the first second he heard the sound, and saw a thin man standing under the rain curtain through the dim light, looking at him steadfastly.

The crimson eyes are too conspicuous, in the dark night.

No, it's a vampire!

It was too late to run away, and Caius swooped down triumphantly. Unexpectedly, Max pulled out the knife from his pocket and slashed him fiercely. With a roar, he stretched out his hand and threw him to the ground. .

When Max was not pressed to the ground by Caius, he took advantage of his strength to turn around and turn back. Although Caius's speed was no different from other vampires, compared to other vampires, he still had the talent to restrict the defensive and counterattack hunters. , he seemed much more helpless.In addition, it was the first time he was facing a real hunter opponent, so the inexperienced Caius was suppressed by Max, suppressed and counterattacked, and he was powerless to counterattack.Without hesitation, she plunged the bayonet into Caius' hand covering his heart, and before Caius was in shock, Max slipped away to avoid meeting the vampire's accomplices and revealing Catherine's whereabouts.

For the first time since he was a vampire, Caius experienced a stiff and paralyzed state. He pulled out the bayonet with all his strength and threw it on the sidewalk. His eyes seemed to be spitting out flames, looking at the direction where Max disappeared. Gritting his teeth secretly.

The messy clothes on the chest due to the fight just now all showed the humiliation suffered by Caius, one of the three elders of Volturi.

This hatred is inseparable!

Catherine's extra episode · Plot direction

This scorching tearing pain drove me crazy, and I wanted to shoot myself with a gun, but Max stopped me, she squatted beside me, her dark brown eyes were full of tears, condensed on her eyelashes The side refused to fall for a long time, even at this time I was still distracted to pay attention to her expression - because all my consciousness was separated from that manic body, and my soul stood by and watched coldly.

The feeling of being out of control makes me discouraged, and I can't destroy myself, then I will be destroyed by Catherine who is about to become a living dead, and I can't go back. Once I become a vampire, god damn vampire!

I clearly remember the panic that my heart sank suddenly when Alec rushed towards me, just like the ending in the deserted wilderness in the dream.

This is my end.

I can clearly smell the smell of blood in the air, stronger than ever, and it shakes my sense of touch even more than before when I can distinguish the smell of vampires.To become a vampire who has been cast aside by myself is my future, how to cheer up, everything is on paper.Even if Max tries harder and succeeds in saving my body, my soul (if I still have one), consciousness, and thought are already dying.

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this is the end for me, Max contacted the friendly Karen family, and now I can hear her no matter how much she lowers her voice, of course they can accept a new member without any problems, but myself Woolen cloth?My eyes are dry and I really want to cry but I can't. The posture used to express weakness in the past can no longer appear on my face, and the cold skin will not have tears flowing.

Dozens of bags of blood managed to suppress my urge to kill, but it also succeeded in making me clearly aware of the fact that I was already a vampire.

You are not mistaken, I may become a bitter woman, talking about my tragedy every day, thinking of my sisters who lost their love in junior high school.

Max hung up the phone and pushed the door lightly to come in. I quickly threw the empty bag into the trash can, and leaned against the back of the chair to pretend to let go of my thoughts. For some reason, I didn't want Max to see me Drinking blood makes me feel ashamed and dirty, like an alcoholic and unrepentant sister.

Sometimes I also wonder how nice it would be if there were an institution dedicated to weaning newborns from bloodlust.

"Dr. Cullen said that his family welcomes you very much."

"Max."

"I'm here."

"Is there any way to stop this from getting worse, you know I don't want to be a vampire at all, let alone your enemy!" I buried my face in her palms, my heart that wanted to cry was like being slapped by a pair of big hands Break into two pieces.I hate Alec, the vampire who ruined my life again and again!

I blamed myself so much why didn't I stab the dagger deeper and hit the heart?Not good at learning art is the only reason I can think of.

"Catherine, silly girl, how could you be my enemy?" Max's eyes were red, and she wouldn't cry in front of me, because she knew that I was full of the pain of not having any more for all human behavior. "I promise, no matter what, you will always be my best friend, smartest student, and I will never coach any newbies again!"

I was not happy at all when I got the promise, but I managed to squeeze out a smile.

Seeing my forced smile, Max didn't seem to be very comfortable, he looked at me and said, "I know no matter how nice and high-sounding the comforting words are, after all, all the suffering is on you, and I can't help you alleviate it. However, I beg you not to give up."

I neither nod nor shake my head.I don't know where the future holds, I don't even dare to think about it.

Max went out again and went to the hospital in the city to help me find food.

She was so reassuring about me that she didn't put any lock on the door to keep me out.When I moved to Barrie, Scotland, it was rainy, never sunny, but I never went out once.

I'm afraid of killing humans, even though I'm already a vampire.

Alice and Rosalie would call me whenever they had the chance, probably because Carlisle had mentioned some method to suppress my killing intent, the two always repeated that method when they called, and I was very moved.Every time I get a call from them, it's always a good day for me, even when I'm waiting for food, I can control myself.

I can't reveal any whereabouts to let the group of old immortals find out. I am determined to follow Max's proposal and become a new member of the Cullen family.There is a country in the far east. They say that a teacher for one day is a father for the rest of his life.

Max will always be my elder, maybe this will be her last proposal to me.

From now on, I will use my eternal life to witness her aging, and it is even more cruel to think about it.

Max came back, and I could hear her hurried and chaotic steps from a distance. I saw her running vigilantly on the open window sill, and I could catch the sound of her breathing.Before she ran to the door, I had already opened the door and turned around to stand in front of her, asking anxiously, "What happened?"

"Vampire!" She seemed to have experienced a fight, but luckily she won.

"Then do we need to leave?" Max shook his head, took out the blood bag from his backpack and handed it to me.

"The change in the smell will cause suspicion. You stay here. I will let Rosalie and the others come quickly. I hope they won't get into trouble. Maybe we can go to another city to wait for them. What do you think?" ?” She looked at me for advice.

I sucked the blood in the blood bag almost greedily, stepped back a few steps, nodded, refusing to think is the only wayward behavior I can do now.

Max went to call again, and I became inexplicably irritable in this atmosphere. I had a premonition that my life, which had finally calmed down, was going to be turbulent again. I hated myself so much, hated the irreversible situation.

"Everything will be fine, right, Max." I stood in front of her and asked with a smile.Before she could react, she hung up the phone and was successfully attacked by me. I supported her limp body and put her on the sofa, "I'm sorry, there is nothing in this world that cannot be abandoned. Let me end everything, this life suffocates me."

There is only one voice in my head: "Act like a newborn!"

Kill Alec, kill him, like I did in my dream.

How far is it from Barry to London where I died? I didn’t count the footsteps, but it was enough to consume Max’s time for more than a day, and it would take time to guess that I went to London. Maybe I will notify Rosalie and the others, so kill Alec before they find me.
