[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

"Sheriff, you must come and take a look." Charlie thought he had experienced the worst thing in a few years, but Taylor's expression broke Charlie's illusion.

They came to the place where Buck's body was buried together. Under the cover of the white cloth, Buck looked particularly peaceful.But Charlie slowly lifted the corner of the white cloth amidst Tyler's sobs, and Buck's face leaked out—or, where Buck's face should be—it was a huge head, especially the front one. The cheeks were swollen to the point of bleeding pus, the liver was bruised and purple, the lips were almost drawn into a straight line, the jaws were clenched under the dead lips, faintly revealing anger...

Charlie staggered and almost fell.

"God!" Taylor choked again, covering his face with his hands.

Charlie hadn't recovered from the fright yet, he took two steps across, came to Taylor's side, and patted her on the back awkwardly: "We will find out, Taylor, we will definitely find out." Seeing his son's body Isn't it enough to lie in front of yourself?It would be too cruel for Taylor to make him completely unrecognizable.

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

"What do you think caused it?" Charlie asked the physician assisting with the investigation.

"The deceased did contain some kind of toxin, but none of the creatures known to carry toxins has this kind of substance. In particular, are you sure that the deceased was harmed by humans?"

"The children at the scene said so." Charlie nodded: "They are very sure."

"It must be the murderer injected this toxin into the body of the deceased." Another police officer, Nicklaus, said.Fox, a small peaceful town, encountered a difficult case that was rare in 800 years. Taylor Crowley, the only police officer under Charlie, was the father of the victim.

"A wounder with an unknown toxin, a terrorist?" Charlie couldn't imagine what kind of damage this person would bring: "You know the kids say that the way he hurts people is by biting? Like a wild beast." Charlie thought Looking at the chaos in front of him: "Could it be that he hid the toxin in his teeth?"

"We didn't see the scene, Charlie." Nicklaus can only say that everything is chaotic at the moment: "You know the children are frightened, and we can't place too much hope on their testimony... After all , everything doesn’t look right.”

"When Taylor and I arrived, that man was really biting like crazy—" Charlie recalled the situation that day: "Forget it, let's stop here today—go back and rest, Nick." Charlie sighed Tone, patted his shoulder.

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

"Would you like to go out and buy a handful of water celery, Winnie?" Eliza knocked symbolically, and opened the door of her room without waiting for Winnie to respond.

"Actually, you don't need to knock at all, dear grandma." Winnie blocked the letter on the desk indiscriminately: "Also, the answer is 'I don't want to', I won't go out at all."

"Why, dear?" Eliza twisted her body, and Winnie's straightforward answer made her very uncomfortable:

"You're not made of smoothie, it will melt in the sun."

"You're eating smoothie again!" Winnie said affirmatively, "No old lady would eat this kind of thing, your teeth don't want it anymore."

"It won't become your teeth anyway." Eliza pouted, showing her tiny canine teeth, and she turned her back to Winnie: "If you don't go, I will only eat tofu tonight .” She triumphantly walked back to her bedroom.

"Fuck you." Winnie cursed this annoying old woman in her heart.

"This tomato is for you." Mrs. Mozley stuffed a big tomato into Winnie's hand: "It's getting late. Would you like Robert to give you a ride? He can drive, so hurry up."

"That's unnecessary, Mrs. Maudsley," said Winnie, before Robert could speak. "I'd like to take a walk. But thank you anyway."

Winnie held the water celery in one hand and the plump tomato in the other, and it was much more difficult for her to open the door of this grocery store.She was going to put the tomatoes in the water-celery bag, but Robert opened the door for her before she did.

Robert looked straight at her with a look of embarrassment on his face, his lips moved as if to say something.

"Thank you." Winnie passed in front of him expressionlessly, blending into the warm summer sun.

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

"Miss, can I ask how to get to Fox High School?" The visitor was short and thick, with black hair, and spoke with a thick Romance accent.

Winnie stared at the unattractive man in front of her, and intuitively felt a sense of danger. She rolled her eyes, and the only store closest to her was Mrs. Mozley's grocery store: "I just came here too," she turned her head Signaling the grocer over there: "Maybe we can ask the owner of this store." She turned to run into Mrs. Maudsley's grocer.

"No need, miss." The man gently held Winnie's wrist, and Winnie was horrified to find that she couldn't break free at all, which was so strange.

"Be careful! Be careful!" The man whistled softly: "Look at how slender your wrist is—it would be a pity if it were broken—" His cold fingers stroked Winnie's soft skin.

"I'm going to yell," Winnie warned him.

"Why not?" the man said, "I'm really looking forward to what will happen." Winnie looked at his pretentious face bitterly, and didn't understand why she was so afraid of him, so afraid that she didn't even dare to call for help.

"You're too slow, Stefan." Another man emerged from the corner of the street, and Winnie could tell at a glance that they were brothers, with the same short, stout figure, pale skin, deep, old voice, and wine red s eyes.But, Winnie thought, that couldn't be the color of their real eyes, no one's eyes can be so beautiful, they must have colored contact lenses.

"I'm chatting with our 'pigeon'." Stefan said dissatisfied: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"Worry." The new man with dark yellow hair directly stuffed Winnie into his car parked on the side of the road, and the car jumped up and drove a long way.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Winnie didn't think they were robbing money. Her wallet was in her pocket, and she could tell it at a glance, but they were unmoved.

"Oh my God!" The man driving the car knew that his temper was very grumpy at a glance: "When will the ridiculous human beings stop asking these stupid questions?"

"These are not stupid questions." Winnie admired her courage, she actually yelled at this dangerous man: "At least not to me."

"Shut up." Stefan reminded her purely kindly.

"Listen." The man drove the car away from the center of the town, and parked at the edge of an uninhabited forest. This environment made Winnie tense, thinking about what happened the last time she ran into the forest Well, she shouldn't go out today, it's all Eliza's fault: "We want you to send a message to the Karen family."

"The Cullens?" Winnie swore she'd never heard of the family, although she had a hunch that the two men wouldn't believe it.

"That's right." Stefan moved closer again: "We know you know the Karen family, Bernice. Although we don't know what your relationship is. But it doesn't matter, we don't care what goddamn rules the Karen family violated. Woolen cloth……"

"I don't—" Winnie wanted to say "I'm not Bernice," or "I don't know Bernice," but she bit her tongue and swallowed the words.

"What message?" Winnie asked.The two countries are at war, no matter who they think she is, and no matter who the Karen family is, she just wants to get out of this damn car alive.She meant that if the two of them needed a message from her, she'd have to catch her breath.

"Tell the Karen family, don't hide from us anymore." The man driving seemed to be very dissatisfied with this: "Either be with us, or be against us. No matter where they hide, we will find them."

"With such a big family, it's hard to hide in the mouse hole." Stefan chuckled.

"—Join us and defeat the Volturi, and together we can rule the world of vampires." Mr. Driver added: "A message from a guest from Romania."

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

"Okay." Winnie wondered if she had encountered some fanatical admirer of dark creatures.vampire?What a joke.Are they hotheaded and delirious?Or, Winnie thinks this guess is more likely to be true, and they are playing the game of "truth or dare".They shouldn't be making fun of her, she was almost scared to death just now.

"Okay." Winnie relaxed a lot at once. Who would believe such nonsense?But just to be on the safe side, it's better for her to speak less, so as not to annoy that manic man at first sight and bite herself: "I remember."

"Repeat." Stefan looked at her expectantly.

"Well, don't hide in the mouse hole," this is Winnie's most impressive sentence: "Also, well, defeat...you can all

to rule the world..."

"It's the world of vampires, dear Bernice." Stefan pressed Winnie against the back of the car seat, revealing his small fangs, which looked much stronger than Eliza's canine teeth: " You didn't pay attention, boy."

"I—I don't have a good memory," Winnie felt that Stefan was about to hit her, and she admitted her mistake graciously: "Teach me again."

……

"Okay, I remember." Winnie repeated: "Don't hide from you anymore, join you, defeat... the Volturi, rule the world of vampires..."

"—Message from a Guest from Romania"

"—a message from a guest from Romania." Winnie felt like a parrot.

"Good job." Stefan opened the car door: "We look forward to replying." He drove Winnie out of the car, and he even waved to Winnie happily: "Goodbye, kid."

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

It's finally Fox High's back-to-school day, and Winnie is finally free after more than a month of confinement herself, never knowing a valid reason to go out every day past two or three o'clock. The life on the front line can make her so happy.

"Are you sure you don't want Robert to send you off, Winnie?" Mrs. Maudsley specifically called to ask before, "You know you live some distance from Fox High School, and it would take too much time to walk there. I don't have my own car. We live so close together that it wouldn't be a problem at all for Robert to drop you off."

"No, thank you, Mrs. Mozley." She didn't want to get too close to Robert at all: "I can go there by myself, you know, walking is good for keeping fit and healthy..."

"Are you sure?" Mrs. Maudsley couldn't believe that girls who were much fatter than Winnie didn't do such things.

But Winnie would not be persuaded by Mrs. Maudsley.

Winnie admitted that she was asking for trouble. She woke up at least 2 hours earlier than during the holiday, hurriedly packed herself and went out. The sky was very dark and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. The accumulated water on the ground told Winnie yesterday It rained again in Forks late at night, and she jumped over a puddle on tiptoe.

"Wow, you didn't come here, did you?" When Winnie walked through the crowded people and their cars, a boy whom Winnie didn't know asked.

Winnie glanced at him and ignored him.

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

"Take out your textbooks, students." Winnie's first class was biology: "Let's learn the first class." Old Banner with a gray beard opened the book in his hand.

"I forgot to bring my textbook, can I come with you?" A yellow-haired boy quickly hid his textbook in his bag and looked at Winnie, who was sitting next to him.

Winnie didn't know what to say. She considered pulling his textbooks out of the bag, but she finally felt that she should be friendly to the children of Fox. After all, there was no Sarah here with her, and she was just starting out. Afra, who had a crush on her, also disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you." Philip sat closer.

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

"Only eat bananas and apples?" The boy who talked to Winnie at the school gate in the morning walked up to Winnie: "You don't look like you need to go on a diet."

"I haven't had a good appetite recently, if you must know." Winnie said helplessly, "You really know me from here. You didn't even tell me your name."

"Barrett." He held out his hand, "Barrett Pan, you can call me Barry."

"I don't like shaking hands." Winnie looked at Barrett's fingers stained with chocolate sauce.

"Oh, okay." Barrett put his fingers in his mouth, and when they came out, they were all cleaned up.

"My God." Winnie felt that she didn't even want to eat bananas and apples.

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

"Did you know?" When Winnie began to peel and cut the bananas, a girl sitting next to her said loudly, "The Karen family's house on the edge of the forest is on fire today."

"Karen's family?" a person asked, "is that the surgeon Karen who has been away for a long time?"

"That's right, I heard that he is handsome and god-like. My aunt was an intern nurse in the hospital at that time, and she was deeply infatuated with Dr. Karen, and my uncle still has a crush on it." The first person who announced the news The girl said: "There is also her wife, and the children adopted by their husband and wife, each of which is more beautiful than the other."

"It's really horrible. How could their house be on fire?" A squeaky girl was clearly immersed in fantasies of handsome men and beautiful men: "I thought no one lived there.'

"Maybe it's because no one lives there." Another said, "You know, no one takes care of..."

Winnie was stunned, the fire... the horrible flames in the dream seemed to be still in front of my eyes, and the lovely milky white house wrapped in the flames, they became clearer, I don't know if it was because Winnie heard Those girls talk...

"You have a car, Barrett?" Winnie asked.

"of course."

"Take me somewhere." Winnie gave him a charming smile: "Do you know where Karen's house is?"

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

Batley drove Winnie to the edge of Forks Town. More and more forests made Winnie a little nervous, but the urge to test her guess as soon as possible controlled her, so she didn't back down.

"This is it." Bartley said, with the charred house and the staff tidying it up here, he undoubtedly found the right place: "This is also my first time here."

Winnie was obviously late. She should have thought about it long ago. The fire had been extinguished for a long time, leaving only ruins. However, she could also see how fierce the fire was from the horror of the ruins.And the little outline of the remaining house seemed to coincide with the scene in her dream.But Winnie wasn't sure whether she had finalized the house of her dreams after seeing everything in front of her eyes. Her trip was in vain, and she couldn't draw any conclusions.

"Hey, Winnie, you shouldn't be here." It was obvious that Sheriff Swan was in charge of everything here.

"Hello, Sheriff Swann." Winnie said casually, "We're just here to take a look."

"Us?" Charlie finally saw Bartley standing aside: "There is another kid."

"Yeah." Winnie spread her hands helplessly: "He must come and have a look, I really don't understand what's so good here. You know, boy——"

"Okay, okay." Charlie began to chase people away: "There is nothing to see here, children, go home, we still have work."

"Goodbye, Sheriff Swann." Winnie almost dragged Bartley away without giving the innocent boy any chance to defend himself.

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

"The Karen family!" On the way back, Batley, who had been tricked, drove the car honestly. Winnie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly straightened up: "The Karen family! Their surname is Karen!" Len-"

"Of course Karen's family name is Karen." Bartley didn't understand what Winnie was talking about.

"—their surname is Karen." Winnie repeated this sentence as if in a daze.
