Christmas is coming.

Avella sat on the single sofa with her head tilted and looked at the living room that was about to be renovated, and then looked at Esme and Alice who were sitting on the sofa facing each other.They were discussing the tools needed for Christmas Eve in full swing. On the wooden table in front of them were several large, snow-white papers. The papers were filled with what Alice thought was a party—a Christmas party. of all items.Behind them, Emmett and Jasper are discussing that they might have a fight on Christmas Eve, but this is quickly stopped by the appearance of Dr. Cullen.

Edward was reading a collection of original Italian poetry, while Rosalie was concentrating on painting bright colors on her fingernails.

They looked so harmonious, which reminded Avella of the Christmas she had spent at Hogwarts.

"Avella, do you have any good suggestions?!" Alice suddenly turned her head and asked her.

Avella blinked, sorry for her being out of shape all the time: "Ah, um..." She tilted her head and thought for a while, regretfully discovering that the hundreds of thoughts that flashed through her mind, before Esme Both have been mentioned in the discussion with Alice. "I'm sorry, Alice, you've said everything I could think of."

"Oh, okay." The dark-haired vampire pouted slightly, but soon she turned her head to discuss with Esme again.

And Avella saw the brown-haired mother smile lovingly at herself.

She curled her lips and smiled at her.

Her thoughts wandered out of nowhere, and she thought of the wizarding newspaper from the other day.Above, in an inconspicuous place, a secret word that only the Aurors can understand is quietly spreading - stay.She pondered on this simple word for a few days, but she couldn't figure out what it meant, but she knew it was an action against the Death Eaters.

She should have gone to help them.

Avella pursed her lips, and glanced at Dr. Cullen, who was exchanging Christmas Eve messages with her two children in a righteous manner.The latter noticed her gaze almost instantly and looked over. She gave her converter a friendly smile, in exchange for a light curve at the corner of his mouth.However, in a blink of an eye, she saw Edward's gaze.

(Again?) She sighed, suppressing the desire to rush over and tear the mind reader apart.

The corners of his mouth were tight, and she believed he had heard her desire.And his gaze also told her very well that he did hear everything she was thinking.

Avella sighed—if a vampire could really sigh, she turned over suddenly and buried herself in the sofa, with such force that the single sofa she was sitting on was almost displaced.After the loud bang, there was an exasperating silence in the room.

"Avella?" Esme's soft voice sounded.

Avella looked up from the sofa, and she felt that the irritability in her heart was emerging at an incredible speed: "I'm fine, Esme." She felt that she should do something, but it was strange that she didn't Know what you want to do.

"No." Edward said suddenly, "You're not fine at all." His expression was almost tense, even his muscles.

Dr. Cullen did not know when he stood in front of Esme, and one of his hands extended slightly to make a protective movement.The doctor said with a soothing voice: "Avella, if you have any discomfort, you can say it."

Jasper has protected Alice very well, and even Emmett has stood by Rosalie's side.They tried their best to hide their wary eyes, and turned to divert Avella's attention with words.

"I'm not, I mean, I'm fine." Avella put her hands on the sides of the sofa, her body leaning forward slightly.She noticed that after she made such a movement, Jasper's body also leaned forward slightly.

She wondered why Jasper didn't use the ability to make her less irritable now, but Avella didn't have the brain capacity to think about other things.

Edward was holding his volume of poetry in the original Italian language in his hand, and it was just a tiny movement—he wanted to put it down, but the movement stopped halfway, which seemed a little ridiculous.

All of them were staring at her, and it made her want to do something.

Almost instantly, she felt that the single sofa she was sitting on sank a little.The sound of broken wood came to her ears, which made her a little happy, so immediately after that, the sound of broken wood continued to be heard in her ears continuously.

None of them moved, and time seemed to stand still suddenly.

"Avella, how do you feel?" Alice said suddenly.She poked her head out from behind Jasper, with Avella's familiar smile on her face, a little mischievous.

"Well, it's still a little strange." She raised her hand in front of her and looked at it carefully, her brain was no longer able to think about other things.

Such Avella is a bit like breaking out.

Edward's grip on the collection of poems couldn't help increasing, but at that moment Avella's attention was attracted - he had never hated the newborn's extremely sensitive nerves so much, especially in Avella's current emotional state. already unstable.As long as he put down the book, Elvira will definitely rush towards him regardless of anything.

In front of him stood Carlisle and Esme, and even Alice and Jasper were on his left front.He couldn't guarantee that Avella's pounce would not hurt them, and never underestimate the power of the newborn.

None of them dared to move easily, because Avella's eyes kept sweeping over them, as if she was assessing the possibility of her escaping - not 'seems', Avella's mind is full of Run away, Edward heard.And he also knew that the place where Elvira escaped would be the wizarding world that surrounded her for several days.

But they won't let her do it.

A 20-day-old newborn has no ability to control herself at all, and Avella can't guarantee that she won't turn the target of her attack on her own people during the biting process-a little bit of blood stimulation can make her lose all sanity .

They are not the only ones who know about this, Avella herself also knows about it.

That's why she could argue with herself in her head for so many days and still resist being here.Edward admired her sanity, but at the same time was wary of her outbursts.

And now, she exploded.

(Maybe she should go out for a walk?) Edward suddenly heard Rosalie say, and he immediately looked at Avella, but the other party didn't seem to hear Rosalie's words, just put his hands on the sofa and looked at them.

Edward realized that these were the words in Rosalie's head, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rosalie frowned at Avella, and her instinct as a vampire told her that now as long as one of them made the slightest movement, even a simple turn of the head, it would irritate her.She didn't understand why she thought this way, because when she was a newborn, she didn't have such a temper like Avella... Uncertainty!

Obviously these days are fine, her gentleness and rationality almost make her forget that she is a newborn, but today, the beast bared her fangs.

"You are on guard." Suddenly, they heard Avella's voice.

They didn't even have to look because they were staring at her.

"Damn it, I don't know what's wrong with me." Avella also looked back at them and said, she swallowed, "But I want to destroy something, and, besides, I'm hungry." Her pink tongue licked her teeth.

—the anger whetted her appetite, but they couldn't let her out like that.

And such confrontation is not the solution.

"Avella." Carlisle frowned almost in disapproval. His arm around Esme was stiff, but his movements didn't stop his partner from continuing, "I know you're having a hard time."

The woman with brown hair and red eyes locked her gaze on Dr. Karen's partner all of a sudden, which made Dr. Karen stiffen his back and held his breath vigilantly.

"But please calm down, okay?" Esme patted Carlisle's hand across her waist, and Carlisle moved closer to her ear and kissed.He didn't approve of her being so close to her, it might hurt her!

Edward kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, this time he couldn't promise anything, because he couldn't hear Avella suddenly.He knew that she used Occlumency on herself at this time!He was beginning to hate what she said about wizards now.

Avella was silent.

She began to think about what she had done just now to make this family look so nervous towards her.She thought maliciously, if she stood up now, a few of them would pounce on her without hesitation and press her hands in a way she absolutely didn't like—then she would see Esme and Alice worried expressions.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the wooden floor she had damaged: "I'm a little irritable." She exposed the top of her head to them, and then she noticed that Edward had put his book down.

"You're sensible, kid." Esme's gentle voice sounded in her ear, and then a warm hand was pressed to her cheek—sweet with honey cake and cream, and On the other side of her, the sweetness of candy came.

Alice squatted down, put her hands lightly on her knees, and looked at her from bottom to top: "Avella, I saw that they won, those Aurors."

Avella pursed her lower lip, watching Alice remain silent.

She could feel that Rosalie had also come to her side, she looked over, and the beautiful blonde vampire was frowning at her, and she felt that what she said was definitely not polite: "We are a family, if you really Don't worry, you can tell us." Her voice was very stiff, and she said the words "" very heavily.

Avella pursed her lips and looked at Dr. Karen. She felt sorry: "I'm sorry, doctor." Now that she recalled what she had done just now, she couldn't believe it—because she clearly remembered that she was indeed She wanted to escape from here, she wanted to go to the wizarding world, she wanted to join the battle of the Aurors, she wanted to recklessly tear up those Death Eaters who couldn't beat her now.

She can recall from the back of her mind the taste of human blood that she had tasted 20 days ago, and she admits that they are very beautiful and comfortable.

But that's not what she wanted, like Esme said, you're not a monster.

She doesn't want to be a monster.

"Okay!" Suddenly, Alice clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.She tilted her head and smiled very brightly, and at the same time was very permeable to Avella: "You scared us, Avella. And I see, you will promise me in the next few days Request all."

When she said all the requests, Avella noticed that the others were looking at her with an 'I bless you' expression, which made her puzzled.

"Sorry?" She could only ask with some doubts.

In return, it was Alice's triumphant smile. Oh, of course, there were other people, including Esme, who had been pampering her child, also showing a look that couldn't bear to look directly at her.

So what's going on here?Avella blinked quickly, trying to get one of them to answer her doubts.

But soon...

"Alice! This is the hundredth dress I've changed!..."

"No, you can't bring all the fashion from the mall to your home!  …"

"... Believe me, I think I'm pretty enough dressed like this... No, Alice, I will definitely not change my clothes again!"

For the next few days, the men of the Karen family, as well as the two women of the Karen family, Esme and Rosalie, welcomed their most anticipated Christmas while listening to this background sound.
