[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

"Winnie, my mother said that your family is bankrupt, is it true?" Red-haired Riley stood in front of Winnie, blocking her way.

"Your mother is always well-informed, isn't she?" Winnie murmured "gossip" in her mind, before she couldn't resist punching Riley.

"My dad has seriously considered whether to buy your house." Riley insisted: "You know I have always liked that swimming pool, it is so beautiful. Of course, we will definitely offer a good price. After all, our two families Friends. I know you are short on money right now."

"Really? When are you going to learn to swim?" Winnie looked at the fat on Riley's waist: "At least you don't need a lifebuoy."

"Keep your mouth clean." What Riley can't stand the most is when others talk about her weight: "Your family is in ruins now, and Mr. Woodhouse is not going to your house anymore. You better be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder." Winnie tried her best to prevent herself from teaching Riley a lesson, or humiliating her to pieces.Thankfully, she has always been so eloquent, but today is not a good time to use it.

"I'll remind my swimming pool." Winnie was surprised that she had learned to be reserved: "In case it is not ready when it sees you for the first time-it will vomit."

"Winnie White! You'll regret it," Riley called after her, but Winnie had already turned the corner and disappeared.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The notice from Garfield High School has arrived, have you received it?" Sarah said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "I just got it."

"I'm so happy for you, Sarah." Winnie bit her lower lip, she knew what decision she had just made: "But I'm leaving Seattle."

"What?" Sarah's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You may not know that our family is bankrupt." Winnie felt that it was torture to state these things herself: "So we are moving out of here."

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, Sarah." Winnie said sadly: "Mark and Rona want me to go to Forks and live with grandma. You know how much I hate her. I can't imagine being alone with an old woman like that." Living together, I'd go crazy."

"Winnie, I'm so sorry." Sarah was so shocked that she couldn't even find any extra words to comfort Winnie.But when she knew she was going to be accepted by Garfield, she thought she and Winnie would have another three years of happy time together.

"Anyway, that's the way it is, let's talk about it another day." Winnie hung up the phone without waiting for Sarah to reply, she couldn't bear to continue talking about this topic.

If anything changed her mind, Riley was a big help.Riley reminds Winnie of what will happen if she stays around after she has lost everything.Riley is just a silly girl, there are many more powerful people in Seattle than her, Winnie can't just watch her pride shatter.If escape is the only way, so be it.If she therefore had to stay with that horrible old woman, she could only accept it.

Winnie sat in the room for a long time, and she needed to be sure that she would not change her mind again.When she stood up and opened the door, she already knew what she was going to say to Mark and Ruona.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winnie's grandmother, Eliza, was a stooped old man, as if she had just been taken out of a folding box.She always cleaned herself up, but the place she lived in looked like it had been a tragic ransack, with sofa cushions thrown on the table and broken glasses lying on the floor, looking like they would never I found its "burial place", and the kitchen was piled with dishes and chopsticks that hadn't been washed for many days... Winnie found a half-packed sweater from the bedroom. Looking at the size, she had to wait for Winnie to give birth to her great-grandson to wear.

"Oh, that's the sweater I spun for your father." Eliza said in her trembling voice, "I can't find any more wool, so I just left it there..."

"You do need more wool, Granny." Winnie put the sweater back in place with awe.

Eliza was still talking to herself: "I'm going to go out and buy some... When I go to Molly's grocery store..." She pulled Winnie into another, smaller bedroom: "This is yours. The bedroom." Winnie opened her mouth wide and looked at the mountains of sundries inside.

"I'm so touched, Grandma." Winnie threw her backpack by the door, she had a tough battle to fight.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

"Molly, come in." Eliza trotted on her crutches to welcome the visitor: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Slow down, Mrs. White." Eliza's enthusiasm frightened her. Have you ever seen an old man run with a cane: "We have plenty of time."

"I'm not sure about that." Eliza turned her head to one side and muttered softly, "But it's okay... Come in, come in quickly. Winnie, come and meet Mrs. Mozley."

"This must be Winnie." Molly looked at Winnie with the spider web on her head, and paused for 2 seconds: "It's so beautiful."

"Thank you, Mrs. Mozley." Winnie was unconscious of Mrs. Mozley's strange reaction: "It's nice to meet you."

"Welcome to Forks, Winnie. Everyone is looking forward to you. I brought you strawberry pie, which is your grandma's favorite, of course. I don't know what you like yet." Molly brought her handed the basket to Winnie.

"Strawberry pie is good, Mrs. Maudsley." Winnie swore she was beginning to like Fox: "Thank you very much."

"Molly, I was wondering if there is any purple wool in your grocery store. Look, I'm making a sweater..." Eliza looked at Molly expectantly.

"Of course, Mrs. White." Molly said: "We just got a new stock, welcome to buy it - of course, if you are inconvenient, I will send it to you..."

"No, I can get it, Mrs. Maudsley." Winnie said, it's not because she likes to run errands, but she also doesn't want to see Eliza relying on her old age, and with her legs, running back and forth is no problem .

"What a nice girl, isn't she, Mrs. White?" asked Molly.

"Of course. But—" Eliza looked anxious.

"What do you like to eat, Winnie? How about a beef sandwich? Do you like it? Like it? It's great. That's what I'm good at, Robert always eats 4 in one go, I'll bring you some next time Of course, if you are willing to come to my house, I can cook it for you directly..." Molly said to Winnie eloquently.

Eliza, on the other hand, seemed very annoyed at being left out, and she kept trying to get in and get attention.

"Really, I have to go, Mrs. White, Winnie." Molly glanced at the alarm clock on the wall: "See you next time—by the way, your wool is [-]% off, regular customer—"

"That's great, Molly." Eliza was immediately happy: "See you next time, Molly. It's such a pleasure to meet you today." Winnie sent Mrs. White to the door, and when she came back , She found that Eliza was inexplicably happy, as if the whole person was turned on.She liked Mrs. Mozley so much?Winnie thought.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Winnie spent almost the whole day cleaning up the clutter in the bedroom. Winnie could have been faster, but Eliza kept insisting that something that was dilapidated was very precious and must not be thrown away, so They had to spend a lot of time finding a place to put those "very precious" things.

In the process, Winnie received a bag of apples from Mrs. Cheney and a chocolate pie from a girl named Aphra Hamm.Before Winnie touched the kitchen, Molly called and invited Winnie to her house for dinner: "...there will be a lot of children, and they will all go to Fox High School. They can't wait to see you, you must Come on, Winnie. I told them you were coming..."

"Okay, Mrs. Maudsley, I will go." Winnie felt that Mrs. Maudsley was really considerate. She didn't even want to see what Eliza's kitchen looked like now. I wondered if there was anything in it. mouse.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Winnie changed a set of clothes for herself, and arrived at Molly's house on time at seven o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the situation of Maudsley's house, Winnie thought about the situation of Eliza's house, and had to admire Mrs. Mozley's real He is a good hand at housework.

"Sit down, children." Molly brought up a plate filled with butter: "The beef sandwich is ready, hurry up and start."

"I can't wait, Mrs. Maudsley." A blond-haired boy was the first to pick up a beef sandwich.

"What are you waiting for, children?" Molly sat down. "Eat it quickly, or Jim will eat it up."

"This is Jim Newton, Winnie." Molly introduced them. "His parents owned an Olympic travel store, several generations actually. If you want to go hiking, go to him." gone."

"Hello, Winnie." Jim couldn't seem to decide whether the beef sandwich was more important or the new girl in Forks, so he hurriedly greeted Winnie with his mouth full of sandwiches, nearly spitting them out.

"Hello." Winnie tried to swallow the chicken wings in her mouth, and smiled at Jim.To be honest, she wasn't used to being introduced to each other at the dinner table, but everyone seemed to be here before she arrived, so she was ushered to the table as soon as she walked in.

Molly introduces everyone at the table for her, except for Jim Newton, and Buck Crawley, who seems a bit presumptuous, except for staring at Winnie for too long while Molly introduces them , he also knocked over a seasoning bottle.

Aphra, who sent Winnie a chocolate pie earlier, is also there. Winnie likes her sweet smile, which reminds her of her best friend Sarah. Although Aphra is not as beautiful as Sarah, Winnie likes her smile. Ni felt that her character was not inferior to Sarah's at all.

"Like my chocolate pie?" Aphra asked.

"Of course. It's delicious, although grandma ate most of it—" Winnie said, "but it's really delicious, thank you so much. You mean, did you make it yourself?" Winnie reacted suddenly come over.

"That's right." Aphra said proudly, "I like cooking."

"Aphra is great," said Mrs. Maudsley. "She's the only girl in town who can cook the best pasta sauce at such a young age."

Of course, Mrs. Maudsley's son Robert was there too, but he was a little late for indoor rock climbing.

"My mother insisted that I learn indoor rock climbing first, but I think I can just play for real." Robert talked eloquently. It seems that his good eloquence was inherited from his mother, because they both talked eloquently Of: "There's no indoor rock climbing in the small town of Forks, I'll have to go to Port Angel. I mean, that's silly, the best mountains are near Forks..."

"I believe Mrs. Maudsley just cares too much about you." Winnie looked into Robert's beautiful green eyes. He's not bad looking, isn't he?

What a treat to attend Mrs Maudsley's dinner, not only all the delicious beef sandwiches and grilled chicken wings by Mrs Maudsley, Mrs Maudsley always makes everyone feel comfortable, including knocking things over Buck Crowley.Therefore, after the dinner, everyone was satisfied, including Mrs. Maudsley who had been busy for a long time, and the children who got along very happily even made an appointment for a camping trip in the Olympic National Forest Park.

Now that she was on Forks, Winnie figured she'd have to find a way to fit in, and turning a crazy shopping trip into a camping trip in the woods sounded good, at least in terms of burning money.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

The fire that covered the sky and the sun burned down a beautiful house, and the flames just devoured everything, which made Winnie feel very scared.Why hasn't she woke up yet?She knew she was dreaming, but she just couldn't wake up.It would be nice if someone woke her up, Rona, Mark, where are you?

The scene changed suddenly.

Mark was lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, and Ruona was crying silently beside him.Winnie wanted to go up to comfort them, but she couldn't move.All she could do was stand there, just a few feet away from them, and watch Rona cry.

"God!" Winnie finally woke up.She has always liked dreaming, because there can be so many scenes in dreams that she has never experienced in real life, and even some dreams that scare her, she has never disliked them.But she hated not being able to control herself, she hated the feeling of being stuck in it.When she was dreaming just now, it felt so real, and she couldn't wake up no matter how hard she tried, as if something was grabbing her.

She hates this feeling!

She hates Mark and Ruona in her dreams!

Her father has always been so strong that it is impossible to get sick; Ruona is also a strong woman, except for her stubborn daughter who can make her cry, she has never been so weak.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you and Dad okay?" Winnie took the mobile phone on the bedside table and called Ruona.

"We're fine, Winnie." Ruona's voice was exhausted: "I'm surprised that you woke up so early. Could it be your grandma who got rid of your bad habits? Then I have to thank her, God knows I don't want to do that at all."

"Sleeping in late is not a bad habit." Winnie corrected: "You need to sleep a lot to have good skin. Besides, grandma won't get up so early. In fact, she is simply horrible. How can an old man sleep for so long? I'm still scary."

"I should have thought of it." Ruona said.

"Where's Dad?" Winnie asked, "Isn't he coming to answer the phone?"

"Your dad hasn't woken up yet." Ruona said, "He participated in two interviews yesterday, running from one end of Seattle to the other, exhausting him."

"Daddy still hasn't found a job?" Winnie couldn't imagine how much Mark was hit.

"No, son. But he will, and you know your father is a fine man," Ruona said.

"Of course." Winnie said without hesitation, "Tell Dad I love him."

"I will, baby." Ruona said, "We love you too."

"If you stopped calling, the living room would have been cleaned." Ruona's current employer, Mrs. Short, was a stern woman with square glasses on her square face: "I said you can't deal with personal affairs during working hours."

"Sorry, Mrs. Short." Ruona said, "I'll get to work right away." She already knew that for someone like Mrs. Short, explanations are useless, and admitting mistakes is the only way, even if you didn't do it. when anything goes wrong.

"Then work quickly." Mrs. Short planned to make a mask for herself before going out: "When I come back, the whole house will be cleaned. I don't need me to remind you how many rooms on the second floor have not been cleaned Bar……"

Ruona turned on the vacuum cleaner obediently, the buzzing sound could disturb her unpleasant thinking.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

"I told you it must be a movie." When Winnie called again to say that she had a nightmare, Sarah felt a little uneasy. After all, everyone has dreams, but not everyone can "dreams come true" like Winnie. Really, that's weird, isn't it?But she had to comfort Winnie.

"Oh, it must be a horror movie." Winnie said with lingering fear, "Those flames scare me. If there is such a movie, I won't accompany you to watch it."

"I think this is very interesting." Sarah smacked her lips in dissatisfaction: "Dream—like a prophet—and then sit in a movie theater and witness what you dreamed..."

"Maybe I should start a movie preview company, Sarah!" Winnie didn't think it was funny: "What idiot prophet can only see what movies will be released next? They all predict the end of the world and put all mankind It can't be peaceful, just like the Mayans, and what kind of stars turn around."

"That's astrology, Winnie." Sarah said with a smile: "You really should learn, you are indeed not a qualified prophet. Maybe you will find that you are their lost blood or something..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Sarah." Winnie said: "You know I love my parents, I don't want to be someone else's blood. Especially those prophets, they seem to be weird, I don't want to have no air conditioner where to spend the summer.”

"Maybe they live in the North Pole." Sarah knew that Winnie had mixed up many legends. Winnie was just too "fraternal". It was the lowest mistake for her not to distinguish Grimm's fairy tales from Andersen's fairy tales.
