[Twilight] Believer

The stillness of the afternoon sun shines in through the pried-open window. She is lying on the mattress piled up with books to take a nap. The black knee socks are thrown on the ground. The fireplace that Turturi used as a display was "crackling" at the moment.The fire was the same as Caius's when he saw the scene.

He just imprisoned the huntress in his study for only three days, which was the same treatment as when he imprisoned her in the central library before. How come it seems that he is shooting himself in the foot today?

The redness in Caius' eyes was not like the original redness, but rather like the redness of a rabbit's eyes.He heard the sound of the pages of the book being burned, as well as the sound of her heavy breathing and the friction of clothes when she turned over.

Max, who was still asleep, didn't notice the danger approaching. She curled up on her side, the skirt of the pleated skirt barely covered her buttocks, and the three buttons of her white shirt were unbuttoned to reveal half of her shoulders. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her well-proportioned calves were covered with pale scars...

Her black hair was curled playfully on the white shirt. It seemed that a gust of wind was blowing from his heart to her body. It suddenly went out when she sighed comfortably in the sun.

Human beings depend on the sun, but the vampires avoid it.

Everything was out of control, his hands were on her hair, it didn't matter if the heat came from his heart or the sun.For the first time, Caius felt that the sunlight was not so obtrusive to the light shining on his skin.

Max was flashed by the diamond-like light, and opened his eyes reluctantly with a grunt. Her first reaction when she felt Caius' presence was always to beat him up before talking—but At the moment Max raised his hand, Caius had already hugged her with one hand quickly, stopping the next attack.

The pile of books began to collapse because of Max's actions. If Caius hadn't hugged her, she would definitely be thrown into a dog again.After a nap, it is inevitable that the IQ will be zero, so when the pile of books collapsed in a big way, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Caius' neck. When her eyes met, she forgot to remind Caius to let go of herself for a moment hand on the waist...

His eyes, which were so red that there were no impurities, were full of her stupid look. There was a red mark pressed by the spine of the book on his forehead, and his collar was half rolled in. Her hands were hanging on his body like a fisherman in distress. Hugging a piece of driftwood, she still has the dry smell of being exposed to the sun, while he has a faint scent of pine wood, as if he just came back from the winery, making people nostalgic for no reason.

Max's mouth was only a few centimeters away from Caius. He watched her look at him without a moment, and he felt a little nervous. He pursed his lips and tried to restrain himself from doing things that would disrupt the atmosphere. Seconds he thought again, what is to destroy the atmosphere?Had there been such a thing as an atmosphere between him and Max?

As he said that, he let go of his hand, and Max slowly stood back to his original place as if he had just woken up from a dream, covering his open collar with his hands. If he wasn't dazzled, Max was... shy?

Max averted his eyes and lowered his head, stepping on the carpet with bare feet, the soft blanket wrapped around her soles felt unreal, just a few seconds ago Caius' iron arms were still around her back .There is a sense of powerlessness like a collapse all over the body, and the heartbeat seems to be unable to calm down anymore. There is a deer inside that keeps bumping around and can't find a reason to be quiet.

Caius could hear her messy breath and the same heartbeat when fireworks were in full bloom, his stern eyes were as soft as cotton candy, he pulled out a smile and was about to approach the The door was pushed open, Caius turned his head and saw Ah Luo's meaningful expression.

"Well, well, well." Ah Luo clapped his hands, with a harmonious smile on his lips, and his tone of voice was as light as a nightingale, "It seems that something interesting happened between you just now, it's a pity I didn't See." His eyes fell on Max's hand covering his mouth, and the hem of his shirt that was ripped out, and his eyes were just right to make fun of, and then he glanced at Caius: "My dear brother, please come to Come to the Chamber, I think there are some things between us that need to be clarified."

After Caius left, Max tidied up his appearance obediently, and then started to clean up the ashes caused by the burning paper.A few days ago, when I woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, I didn’t know how to light a fire. I threw all the books that Caius forced me to read into it. I didn’t realize it until the next day, but it had already happened. It's better to keep burning to keep warm.

While tidying up, she was thinking about other things, and accidentally found a notebook from a long time ago...

chamber—

"I hope you have not forgotten our code, my brother."

"I have never forgotten." Caius is an iron-fisted law enforcement officer. In this world where the night is as irresistible as the tide, he turned slightly to express his loyalty to the Volturi family forever. Aro turned his face and said: "This is one, and second, I want to know why you are unwilling to transform Max. As far as I know, you had a good chance to make her one of us, even if she became a vampire, what she has The talent is not up to our standards. You know, I am more than willing to do what I can to make up for... the mistakes I made, about Arsinodora..."

Caius' eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Max is not my 'singer', I am not interested in transforming her at all. Besides, keeping her as a human would be more beneficial to us. Suppress the hunters. I have forgotten about Arsinodora, and I hope you will not mention it again." After speaking, he turned his head and left.

The footsteps are hasty, and the biography that records his life in detail is still in the hands of Max. His original intention is simply to let her know about the purge operations he participated in in the Volturi, and the drive to wipe out werewolves in Europe. , as a reminder, if a hunter is as reckless as a werewolf, then as the law enforcer who most supports the code among the Volturi, he is definitely the first vampire to break off the opponent's head.However, there are always some pasts that he doesn't want Max to know.

It is also the way to preserve his self-esteem.

When I returned to the study, all the unsightly phenomena were cleaned up. It’s been a long time since Max read a book quietly on the desk. That look is not much different from when he just came to Volturi. The shortcoming is that she has become too obedient.

Not long after Caius sat down, he also took out a monograph and read it.

Max closed the book and inevitably looked at Caius, remembering that concise but concealed countless gossips, roughly telling that Caius married a young, beautiful and challenging woman under Arrow's arranged marriage. Female vampires, the goodwill between them is based on annihilating a group together. If these adjectives are ignored, it can be regarded as a beautiful and happy life of husband and wife.If Yasinodora hadn't met his own 'singer'.

Yasinodora, who was originally absolutely loyal to Caius and Volturi, paid a huge price to be with the man she transformed during the war and finally broke away from this marriage.

As for the huge price, it is not described in detail in the book, but Yasinodora is still a member of the women, and it is impossible for Caius not to help Yasinodora.

The nature of the blood race is sometimes a cruel thing, and Jacob and the others are the same. Max thought that if Morrie encountered his brand, how would Maria deal with it?She could imagine how sad Maria would be, and thinking of this, Max couldn't help adding a little pity to Caius' eyes.

On the other hand, after being abandoned, he secretly helped his ex-wife pursue love, which shows that he is not a cruel person.However, she did not omit the most cruel chapter in the personal history of Caius - the battle. Apart from suffering under the hands of werewolves, Caius has always been invincible.

Xu Shi looked at Caius with too hot and long eyes, and he couldn't help raising his head to look suspiciously at the book closed by Max.

I don't know if I don't read it, but it is the one that records his marriage failure.

Caius took a deep breath and asked, "What's the problem?"

Max pressed his hand on the cover into a fist and put it on his mouth to pretend to cough, his eyes were full of "gossip" light: "About your talents, can you tell me a thing or two."

It turned out that this was the case, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you want to know."

"Your 'singer'." Caius suddenly raised his eyes, tired of work, right?

……

(Making up the description of "domestic violence" by myself)

After that tumultuous afternoon, Caius left a "homework assignment" for Max to summarize his poetry books.

He thought it would take many days to complete the report, but the next day there was an eloquent report in Latin with tens of thousands of words—the ink was splashed irregularly, the handwriting was messy and unaesthetic, and the words were deleted and edited. Traces are everywhere.Totally a head-scratching report.

Caius gritted his teeth and read on, until the last word he put down angrily.But he was reluctant to tear it apart, so he could only slam a stack of papers on the desk.

In his report, Max dissected and analyzed the collection of poems he was once proud of, and finally concluded that the author of the collection of poems is definitely a young man who lost his wife and lived in poverty. I can't wait to smash her head into pieces once.

What Caius never thought of when he wrote the rebuttal was that Max did it on purpose, after all, it is not difficult to guess the author.

What is wronged is that Caius has no idea how serious his nature is exposed in Max's eyes.

-

I haven't written a little drama for a long time

Earl Gray tea was placed in a slightly deserted room. Max raised his head from the sea of ​​books, his eyes were blurred and he put his hands on his forehead. Opposite him was Caius who was motionless. Holding a quill on his face, his handsome eyebrows stretched out, his rosy lips contrasted with his snow-white hair, he deliberately ignored Max's abnormality.

He was waiting for her to speak.

Finally, Max patted his book with his finger, propped his chin and tilted his head and said, "Well, you should know that there is something called 'afternoon tea', right?"

"..."

After eating halfway, Max's combat power had just warmed up, and Caius asked Felix to push the car away abruptly. Max wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Is that so afraid that I will eat you poor?"

"Eat mine and use mine, do you still want to say that?"

"You can let me go!"
