Chapter 54 (Successive Disappearance Cases)

Since the Cullen family plus Sirius and Harry lived in the Sherlock Holmes mansion, both Sherlock and Mycroft would see this group of perfect creatures in the living room from time to time—they didn’t take Karen for themselves at all. It feels inappropriate to describe the family as creatures, because the perfect appearance of the Karen family is really too unlike what a normal human would have.Of course, compared to Mycroft, who was deeply impressed by Carlisle, Edward, and Jasper's knowledge reserves, Sherlock became more and more curious and repulsed by them.

This kind of rejection made him feel uncomfortable as if his territory had been violated—especially after Emmett accidentally smashed the skull he had kept for a long time.

"You...stupid...single-celled creature!" The furious Sherlock almost gritted his teeth, staring at Emmett who was holding a skull in one hand and carefully watching him.If it hadn't been for the consideration that the other party was an absolute big guy, Sherlock would have jumped on him and fought him desperately.

Mycroft pulled Sherlock aside, but Sherlock ignored him, still staring at Emmett.

"Emmett." Carlisle's voice came out, he frowned slightly and looked at the man who threw the skull to the ground and pretended not to know anything.Esme held Carlisle's arm beside him, and said to him very seriously, "You should apologize."

"No!" Sherlock quickly refused, and the other Karen family members who were sitting in the living room looked over for a moment, but he was too lazy to reason about their expressions now, and he quickly picked up the broken pieces on the ground Several pieces of skulls shook off Mycroft's hand on his shoulders, ignored his squinted eyes, and rushed to his room without looking back.

"When will you get rid of your habit of destroying things?" Avella was not so much preaching to Emmett as she was teasing Esme who was about to raise her eyebrows and wanted to speak—she was imitating Her dear mother, "We have caused Mrs. Holmes a lot of trouble here, can't you be a little quieter?! Emmett!" Finally, the calm voice called Emmett was almost like Esme's usual anger. Same as what was sent out.

As soon as Avella finished speaking, the others—including Esme who was being teased—couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Hey~ can you stop bullying my dear mommy?" Alice jumped in from the open window suddenly, she jumped to her mother's side in twos and said, holding her other hand and tilting her head.Jasper appeared right behind her, also standing in the corner of the living room.

"Again?" Edward said suddenly, and with his opening, there was a strange silence and everyone's faces turned serious.

"This is the fifth time." Avella buried her body in the sofa, frowning, "Still haven't been able to track down the whereabouts of those missing people?" She looked at Jasper, who shook his head silently And said: "The taste is very mixed and scattered."

"And I can't see it anymore." Alice also said, she sat next to Carlisle and Esme, with one hand still on Esme's arm, as if this would calm her hidden anxiety.It's just her slightly furrowed brows and twinkling golden eyes revealing her emotions at this time.

Alice's words silenced everyone.

"Then let's just watch that lunatic turn a human into a vampire?!" Rosalie nestled in Emmett's arms and said in a bad tone, "And those are newborns. We'll tear it apart, too."

"Rosalie, we don't know if it's a lunatic, and it's not the only problem." Carlisle took a deep breath and looked at Edward.

Edward raised his eyes and said, "The Volturi will find out about this soon, and if they investigate..."

After a while of silence, Esme said cautiously: "Maybe we can ask Mrs. Holmes to help us investigate the information of those missing persons tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." It was Jasper who spoke, "although they don't seem to have anything in common yet."

Avella hasn't felt tired for a long time—she thought she wouldn't feel this way again, and she doesn't remember the last time she felt this way.But when she returned to Sirius' room according to the normal routine of human beings, and saw Sirius and Harry sleeping with their heads sideways, she couldn't help but put herself on the small sofa next to the bed, and deeply sigh.

Sirius' wound has healed a lot under the medical care of Mrs. Holmes, at least Avella can clearly smell the sweet smell emanating from Sirius - she is more fascinated by it than ever before, And deeply afraid that she would be reluctant to leave him.Because she knew that if she stayed like this, she would definitely not be able to help keeping him by her side forever, but her love for him made her unable to bear to see him suffer, and... he might not necessarily fall in love with herself.

Avella was saddened by the voice in her head.

"What the hell should I do..." she finally whispered, for Sirius, for the constant disappearances since their arrival, and for the possible involvement of the Volturi—although she never had contact with But her family members seem to be very afraid of these vampire nobles.But the most realistic problem now is that they don't know who it is - they don't know how many vampires are frantically creating an army, and what kind of ability is it that a vampire can break up and distribute their own flavors? to the whole city? !

The enemy is in the dark, but they are in the light. This is not a good sign.

Who knew, just as Avella finished speaking, Sirius suddenly took a deep breath.Avella immediately widened her eyes, her body froze and she stared at Sirius.The man's eyelids moved twice in the darkness, and then slowly opened his eyes under Avella's self-blaming sight.

"I'm sorry." Avella knew Harry was still asleep, so she could only speak softly but forcefully.

Sirius turned his head and narrowed his eyes to distinguish Avella's outline in the darkness. He still felt a little sleepy, but Avella's mood didn't seem to be in a bad mood now.So he blinked hard, and carefully tried to sit up without waking Harry, propping his elbows on the sheets.When he just had this thought, a pair of cold hands had already supported his shoulders and gently helped him up. He stretched out a hand to gently press the corner of Harry's quilt, and then leaned against Avella. Help yourself to a good pillow.

It's really not his illusion... Since his injury, Ivy has been nicer to himself-no, it's too good to be true.

The bedside lamp was turned on, and Sirius watched the warm orange light give Ai Wei a nice gold border, and the corners of his mouth moved for a while before he put it down."Another missing person?" he asked.

"Hmm." Avella lowered her voice, the corners of her mouth drooping.

Sirius didn't know how to comfort this at the moment... Avella who was obviously wronged, he turned his head and said softly, "Didn't you find any information?"

"No." Avella frowned wearily, "There is no sign."

After a moment of silence, Sirius suddenly said, "You've been thinking about what kind of vampire has this ability, right?"

"Yes." Avella looked at Sirius, waiting for his next sentence.

"I remember you told me before that the blood of some victims will disappear out of thin air, but there are no bite marks on the surface of his body, right?" Sirius suddenly thought of something, and after getting Avella's nod in response, he provoked Eyebrows, "Haven't you noticed it yet? Just think about it, the other party is a vampire with innate abilities-can help others heal wounds, and spread the smell to the entire city-at least we can only see these two now, and you There are at least eight... vampires here."

Avella immediately reacted: "If they were smart enough, they wouldn't be able to choose to stay here, and they wouldn't take those people away."

"Beautiful!" If it wasn't for the fact that there was a sleeping Harry next to him, Sirius really wanted to snap his fingers at the responsive Avella.

"They're calling us a war letter." Avella said in a low voice while clearing her mind, "But I don't understand why they're sending a letter of war to us, what I mean is, Carlisle and the others can't possibly mess with anything ..." Sirius saw that Avella's voice stopped abruptly.And she looked at herself more seriously, with the calmness before the storm, "It's because of me."

Sirius took a deep breath.

"Those who can make enemies with me..." Avella lowered her eyes, and slowly lay back on the small sofa, her hands beside her slowly clenched into fists, "Death Eaters? Cooperated with vampires?"

Sirius knew that although Avella was using a questioning tone, she was in a state of tension right now——The Karen family has always been Ivy's backlash, and she would never allow her family to do it because of her. And got into trouble.Sirius breathed lightly, trying not to disturb Avella, who seemed to be in a very stable mood now, and then stuffed Harry's hand that had run out from sleep back into the quilt.

"But vampires are magical creatures after all, and they must be immune to the Imperius Curse. How could they be controlled by Death Eaters like this?" Avella began to mutter again.

"Yourself." Sirius spoke again.

Avella raised her eyes and looked over, her eyes were as sharp as a sharp knife and stabbed straight at Sirius.Sirius knew it was because of what she was thinking, so he didn't care, and just looked back at her lightly.

"The other party is a vampire like me." Avella said softly.

Esme in another room grasped Carlisle's hand tightly, and her husband lightly squeezed her shoulders trying to calm down her sudden nervousness, but he frowned himself; Edward lay on his back on the bed and stared at Snow White. I don’t know what I’m thinking about; Alice stopped combing her hair, her gaze met Jasper behind her through the mirror, her lover was frowning and thinking about something; Rosa Li sat up from the bed at once, and Emmett's arm was around her waist to prevent her from rushing out of the room in agitation.

"No wonder I can always feel the fluctuation of magic power." Avella frowned, "But I can't find its source, because a simple confusion spell can cut off the source."

"That's right." Sirius nodded, "So it's very possible that there is actually only one person, correct, a vampire fighting against you, so he needs to create an army to increase his strength."

"No, there must be more than one." Jasper said suddenly, he looked at Alice, and Alice nodded slightly at him. "Even a vampire with Ivy's ability, if he is to face five newborns alone, he will be torn to pieces by them who are violent and irritable."

Alice tilted her head: "But we still don't know how many people there are on the other side, and they are too cunning."

Edward sat up from the bed: "Guys."

Everyone, including Ivy, who was talking to Sirius, also stopped. Sirius closed his mouth at the same time seeing Avella's sudden silent expression.
