[Twilight] Believer

"Calister!" Maria stretched out her hand to pull Calister out of the water, "How did you get out of... this place?" Seeing that she didn't have any wounds on her body, she said, "Only you?"

Maria muttered the names of Max and Jacob, and Calliste didn't speak. It seemed that Maria didn't know anything. She had consumed too much energy and needed someone to support her until they Four people broke what she set.

"I haven't seen anyone else." Calliste pursed her lips and gently closed her eyelids, innocently.

There was a flash of surprise in Maria's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. Maria helped him up and took him aside, "Take off your wet clothes, and I'll find something to light a fire."

Celeste found that these hunters who have been making fires in the wild all year round, the first thing they do when they fall into the water is to find something to make a fire.

"You wait for me here." Maria ordered, and ran away.

Calister looked at Maria's leaving back, not very relieved, "She really..." Didn't see anything?

Of course Maria saw it. At that time, she was on the other side of the river, separated by a thick "wall" and couldn't get through.She clearly saw what Calister was doing, and when Max fell into the river, she was even more nervous, but no matter what she did against the "wall", she couldn't shake it.

Until Caius showed up with a child, and then Jacob... Maria saw Calliste's unbelievable behavior, before the crack appeared on the ground, she climbed the rock wall without falling, but she didn't Dare to do anything to Kelly, for fear of the negative consequences of Kelly's death.

I can only pretend to be ignorant first, and then make the next step.

-

The sea water poured down, the trees fell, and the ground shook.

These natural catastrophes happened in a flash, and Caius turned the man behind his back and stood at the top of a redwood tree.The bitter north wind blew his coat violently, and the volcano in the distance emitted gunpowder smoke, which made the sky red.He narrowed his eyes to avoid the oncoming wind and sand, and turned his head slightly to look at her on his shoulder.

Max was on Caius's shoulders, and she had cut her hair short again, letting it fall in the hollows of her shoulders.

She was having a fever at the moment, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, her pale lips matched the two red spots on her cheeks.Caius heard a soft sigh in his heart, and before he could make another move, the tree under his feet sank in.Fortunately, he reacted quickly and led people to jump to another height.

Jacob and Oko were on the ground, moving the obstacles that blocked the way forward, looking for a place to stay.

At this time, Caius felt the sign of the person on his back waking up, her hot body moved closer to him, and then her whispering voice came from his ears, the hoarse voice made his heart feel like being rolled by a wheel generally.

"Cairus?" she called to him.

"It's me." Caius didn't stop, and continued to jump forward, stepping on a flat ground before removing the person from his body, letting her lean on the stone wall.He stood in front of Max and firmly protected her, "Do you want a drink?

"

Max blinked, her limbs are sore and weak now, she can't use any strength, and she can't help shivering when the cold wind blows.Caius moved closer to Max to block the wind.

She then fell into his arms and rested her head on his heart, where the coldness made her forehead less hot.The water was packed by Caius in the jar that Oko usually used to hold food. He took a sip out of it, bent his head to Max's lips, and swung the water across.

The spray of Max's breath fell on his skin, and Caius closed his eyes to catch her instinctively.

Before the blizzard came, he surrounded Max with his cloak and asked, "Is it hot?"

Max shook his head and said, "Let's meet up with Jacob and Oko, I'm fine."

"Don't be brave, it's good to be fine." He raised his hand to stroke her hair, "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" She tried her best not to fall asleep, her mouth was bitter and her eyes were sore, "You are here."

Hearing this sentence, Caius couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. This time, it was his mishandling that caused the consequences: "I will take you out."

"...I never doubted it." She tried her best to smile at him, Caius happily kissed Max's forehead, and then carefully carried her on his back, "Go to sleep for a while."

"Ok."

The danger finally came to an end, and the four gathered on the top of the cliff.

It was night, Max was sitting on a spruce tree leaning against Caius, the huge moon was shining with gloomy light, the dark blue night sky was inlaid with stars, two incompatible objects appeared under the same sky , Max withdrew his gaze from the night sky, and looked at Caius beside him.

But when she found that the other party was staring at her, she licked her lips, "What's wrong, you've been looking at me."

"I have to look at you, or you will disappear again." Caius turned his head away in embarrassment, and the other party's chuckle came from his ear, and then her hand reached out and flicked the tip of his nose, "Where can I go?"

"There are so many places you can go, as long as you leave this forest, you will leave with your friends or partners." Caius turned his head to look at Max, her deep eyes were full of her appearance, " I've always been the one who was left behind."

The uncatchable sadness surfaced between the two of them, Max withdrew the smile just now, and frowned, not knowing how to answer.

For a long time, "I like you, but..." Her palm was held by him, with such light strength and precious expression, she couldn't say the hurtful words behind her.If those words are spoken casually, they will hurt one thousand and self-defeating five hundred. They are more than a barrier between "blood clan" and "hunter" identities?

"Max, I want to be with you, no matter in what capacity." Seeing that she didn't refute, he continued, "Whether it's a friend, a lover, or a rival, as long as you are alive, as long as my body is not Eliminate, promise me, don't unilaterally end our relationship."

"Okay?"

It was rare to hear Caius speak so warmly and earnestly. Max shook Caius and held his hand. He spoke so convincingly. How could she not be moved? All of this has long been irresistible. Fate.She didn't dare to move, for fear that the tears in her eyes would flow down if she moved.

"Okay." She closed her eyes to hold back her tears, then opened them again, "...how much did I... hurt you that time?"

"It doesn't hurt." Caius smiled sincerely, put his fingers on the corners of Max's eyes, and said, "Before I did it, I knew you were hesitating."

"I treat you like that, even if you burn me to death, I deserve it." He blamed himself so much that he didn't dare to look her in the eyes, "I am willing to die at your hands all the time."

"You...you old...you old-fashioned!" Max gasped.
