[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

Winnie's bedroom was furnished simply and delicately.The main color is sea blue, and there are wall lamps hidden among the flower branches hanging on the wall. When the night comes, Winnie turns them all on, letting the warm light fill her bedroom. In this light, she can carry out She fell into a vampire-like sleep.It's a long night, if you don't sleep, it's really hard.

The sky outside had already turned pale, and the sky was bright, but the sun hadn't fully exerted its power. The light green curtains and the white window screens with hollow patterns blocked the light's footsteps, and Winnie slept deeply.

But Winnie was woken up soon, something, or some animal, or a person, walked into her room with very light footsteps.Then that unknown thing crawled onto her bed, something itchy on her face...

"Alec!" Winnie pulled the quilt over her chest, "You can't break into my room early in the morning."

"I just want to see how you sleep?" Alec pretended to be innocent and blinked his eyes that had always fascinated Winnie: "I haven't slept for hundreds of years."

"That doesn't work either." Winnie pushed his hand away: "Get out quickly."

"Come on, Winnie," said Alec, "I want to talk to you."

Winnie pushed his hands, his arms, even his back, trying to get him out of his room, but Alec didn't budge, and there was a long standoff before Winnie had to surrender first.

"Come over here, we can sleep together." Winnie gave the other half of the bed to Alec, although she realized the ambiguity in the words as soon as she uttered them, but in order not to remind Alec of this fact, she Or pretend there's nothing wrong with it.

Alec took off his shoes and lay down next to Winnie.Winnie just closed her eyes and ignored him, but he kept talking to Winnie: "What are you talking about, Winnie, how boring it is to lie down like this."

"It's only six o'clock in the morning, and I want to sleep." Winnie said with her eyes closed.

"I still don't understand. It's impossible for vampires to sleep." Alec turned over and faced Winnie: "We don't need sleep at all."

"You also said that people who have too much time will be bored." Winnie explained patiently: "I'm trying to make myself live like I used to, like every normal person."

"Lie flat, empty your mind, don't think about anything, don't care about everything that happens around you, just like falling asleep, you will feel very relaxed."

Alec tried following Winnie's instructions, but he quickly gave up: "No! I can't do it at all! I can clearly hear everything around me, there are 5 birds chirping in the tree ;a girl outside the door was on the phone with her boyfriend, discussing how to sneak out to meet him; there were several cars driving around..."

"You're just not used to it, and you'll get better with more practice. If you really do it, you'll find that it's really relaxing like falling asleep," Winnie said.

"Actually, there are many reasons why I can't do it," Alec said half-covered, he was deliberately attracting Winnie's attention: "For example——"

"Like what?" Winnie asked.

"For example——" Alec looked at her fair and flawless face: "For example, because a certain girl is lying beside me, so close, if my heart is still moving, it must be beating very fast, How can I calm down?"

"It's sweet talk again." Winnie turned away embarrassedly.

"But you like to hear it, don't you?" Alec pressed.

Winnie just lay there, motionless, pretending to be asleep.But Alec must hear her answer, he went up to tease her, tickle her, Winnie jumped off the bed laughing.

"What are you doing, Alec?" she demanded.

"I want to hear you say you like me."

"Don't think about it." Winnie ran out of her bedroom at the speed of a vampire, and Alec immediately jumped off the bed and chased after her.

A glass bowl containing bloody ice cream fell straight from the cabinet, smashed to pieces, and one of the wreckage rolled to Alec's feet. Alec kicked it away and hugged the beautiful baby in his arms captive, threw her back on the bed...

These days, he has learned more than lip service.

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

It turns out that humans aren't always that sluggish either.Winnie had just freed herself from Alec's grasp and given herself a cold shower when the court summons arrived, her wet hair dripping in a puddle on the floor.

"It was they who drove the pregnant Sarah out of the house, and now they must return this child. Why?" Winnie resisted the urge to tear the subpoena into powder, and threw it on the top of the cabinet: " What do they want with this child? Don't they think it's a disgrace for Sarah to conceive out of wedlock? What good are they taking home the consequences of that disgrace?"

"What are you going to do?" Alec asked silently watching Winnie lose her temper.

"Anyway, I won't go." Winnie hugged her arm: "I don't have any evidence that Sarah gave the child to me to raise before she died. I don't need a lawyer to know that I have no chance of winning at all. I don't I will sue them, and I will not hand Amanda over to them."

"Then we have to run away." Alec was even a little excited.

"Run away? Again?" Winnie felt exhausted. "Why am I always running away? Either to avoid this, or to avoid so, what did I do to make God hate me so much?"

"You're a vampire now, God won't protect you, but I can." Alec pulled Winnie into his arms.

"How to protect?" Winnie will never forget how Bernice died.

"Leave America with me, Winnie. Let's go to Italy. I have lived there for hundreds of years. No one will find us, and no one will disturb your life and little Amanda's life."

"Italy? Where did Bernice die? Where did I die?" Winnie said it was difficult to accept: "Maybe the police can't find us, where are your masters?"

"I know who killed me, Alec." Winnie said to Alec seriously.

"It was just an accident." Alec also knew that his pale defense was untenable.

"Accidents will happen again, here or there, who knows?" Winnie is not alone now, she also has little Amanda, the person she promised her lifelong best friend to protect, she cannot allow accidents to happen near.

"Where do you want to go?" Alec asked.

Winnie thought about it for a long time, and thought: "I don't know, let's google it."

Alec happened to already know this god-like thing to Americans, so they saved the effort of explaining and worked together to find a place for Winnie and little Amanda.

"Why do almost all developed countries have extradition treaties with the United States..." Winnie wailed, and it was conceivable that Google's results were not very optimistic.

"It means you live in a beautiful country." Alec laughed at the distraught Winnie, emphasizing the word "beautiful".

"Okay," Winnie had to lower her expectations: "How about Algeria?" Forgive Winnie, most of the countries on the list in front of her can't figure out where on earth they are.

"I won't let you go to Africa, Winnie." Alec snatched the mouse back and flipped through the neither long nor short list by himself.

"...Brunei? No...Equatorial Guinea? Your little baby is going to get a black tan...Morocco? Another African country...Ukraine? They're busy fighting a war..." Alec put on the list without hesitation countries are excluded for very simple reasons.

"How's Italy?" Winnie asked.

"Great." Alec glanced at Winnie in surprise, and then she realized that Winnie was angry with herself.

"Oh, Winnie." Alec grabbed her shoulder: "I'm definitely going back to Italy, how can I safely leave you in another country, if you go to Laos, when will we be able to return to Italy?" Meet? Have you forgotten what you said to me on the bed just now?"

"I just want to live in peace, Alec." Winnie looked up at him, "Why is it so difficult?"

"Come back to Italy with me, Winnie, I will find you a safe place, and you will live there peacefully." Seeing Winnie's fragile appearance, Alec felt that he had hope of persuading her : "Caius is not that boring, he won't bother you for nothing, in fact, they rarely leave that palace..."

Winnie thought for a long time, and Alec finally heard the answer he wanted from her mouth: "Let's pack our bags now."

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

When Alec was holding Winnie's luggage in both hands, standing in the empty elevator with Winnie holding Amanda, waiting to go down to the first floor, he suddenly felt the need to ask the person he had always wanted. Knowing question: "How did you know that Caius killed Bernice?"

Winnie did not expect that Alec would choose to ask this question at this time, and she had been fighting for a long time with various reasons to say or not to say.

"I saw the past—"

"past?"

"Not only my own past, but also other people's—" Winnie nodded: "Yes, I saw a lot of people's past, I have been like this for a while, but it took me a lot of time to realize it. When I was at Lero's house, I knew she had asked someone to help find her missing daughter, and no one ever told me that."

"Oh——" the answer Alec got was definitely beyond expectations.

"Do you think that's a good thing or..." Winnie stammered, "Seeing someone else's past sounds like trouble?"

"Believe me, Winnie, in the world of vampires, it's always good to have a skill." If it weren't for this skill, he and his sister Jane should have died hundreds of years ago, before they had time to grow up.

"Will you keep a secret for me?" Winnie asked.

"Of course." Alec said without hesitation.

"What if Ah Luo and the others ask you?"

Alec hesitated.

"Needless to say." Winnie stopped him: "I know the answer."
