Twilight you are my light

Bella had another weird dream at night. In the dream, the cosmos seemed to be growing and blooming rapidly, and finally produced a fruit.The fruit was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and did not stop growing until it reached the size of a yoga ball.The little potted plant could no longer bear the weight of the fruit, so it could only fall off the window sill and land on the floor below, making a heavy sound of falling objects.

Things gradually get weirder.The originally brightly colored and juicy fruit quickly began to wither, as if something had absorbed all the nutrients in it.Its skin began to become wrinkled, like the skin of a grape.The fruit gradually shrinks in size until it becomes an elongated oval object that seems to be dried.

Bella had never seen such a thing before. Panting heavily, she opened her eyes and fumbled in the dark to turn on the desk lamp.Her back was covered with cold sweat, and her chocolate-colored hair was stuck to the nape of her neck.Bella wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with her hands, and saw the weird egg-shaped object not far from the room in a blink of an eye, and Bella's hairs stood on end in an instant.

Is there anything scarier than waking up from a nightmare and discovering that you are living it?

Bella's head was buzzing, and all kinds of horror movies appeared in her mind. This strange object that looked like an egg and fruit had completely exceeded Bella's cognition in the past 17 years.She crept out of bed, opened the door and ran all the way to Charlie's door.

"Bang bang bang!" Bella knocked desperately on Charlie's door, but there was no movement inside.

"Charlie! Charlie!" Bella yelled Charlie's name, and directly opened the door, but there was no one inside.The police uniform that Charlie had hung on the hanger was also gone.Bella is now only sweating, and her thin pajamas have been soaked in cold sweat.There is only one thought in her mind now, and that is to run.

Bella ran downstairs as if being chased by some monster. She first rushed into the kitchen to pick up a kitchen knife, and then stood at the stairs carefully watching the movement in the room.

There was no movement in the room.

Bella took a deep breath, feeling her hands and feet were cold.She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and went upstairs carefully again, but her hand holding the kitchen knife couldn't stop shaking.Bella stepped on the wooden stairs step by step, and the floor made a "creaking" sound.Finally, Bella returned to her room. Holding a kitchen knife in one hand, she quietly opened the door of her room with the other, and she found that "alien creature" was still lying there quietly.

"My God, please bless me." Bella held her breath, holding up the knife and moving towards the egg a little bit, she lightly tapped its crispy surface with the tip of the knife like a ghost. shell.

I don't know if it was because the knife was too sharp, or if the layer of skin was already too thin, but a large piece of it was shattered where Bella struck it.

"It's over, it's over, I broke the alien creature!" Bella panicked and wanted to do something to make up for it, but she didn't know where to put her hand, so she could only wave it blindly in the air for a long time.Bella wanted to cry, but she saw that the cracks on the shell were getting bigger and bigger, almost covering the whole egg.She decided to break the jar and peel off the shell to see what was inside.

Bella saw the inside of the egg without lifting a few shells.Unlike the dry and blackened skin on the outside, the inside of this fruit is very soft.It wasn't the softness of human skin, but more like the smooth and delicate plant skin. The weird touch made Bella feel a little nauseous.

Bella resisted the fear in her heart and dismantled the entire "alien creature". When Bella was ready to see a sawtooth beast lying inside, she saw a person wrapped in a translucent film.It could be vaguely seen that it was a woman with thin golden curly hair, petite, her limbs were curled up because of being wrapped, her skin was as pale as a dead person.

Bella tore off the membrane-like thing with her hands, and she was finally able to see the woman's appearance clearly.Her lips were slightly parted, her eyes were tightly closed, and the straight bridge of her nose made the woman's side profile look very straight. With her eyes closed, she looked like a sleeping doll.

Bella wanted to shake her awake with her hand, but before she could touch her, she was startled by the woman's sudden opening of her eyes and took a few steps back.Bella held the knife in both hands and faced the unknown creature, as if this would make her braver.The blond woman got up from the ground and sat on the ground with vacant eyes, as if thinking about what happened.

"Bella!" Suddenly, the woman showed a bright smile to Bella, and her voice couldn't hide her joy. "I can finally talk to you."

Seeing Bella's frightened expression, the blond woman added, "I'm Nora, and I escaped from that pot of cosmos."

Bella's face twisted, and she looked at the strange woman in front of her with an expression of "are you kidding me?"She took a half step back, glanced at the smashed cosmos at the blond woman's feet, and said to her, "Tell me the truth, are you an alien?"

Bella is in her teenage years and has an astonishingly rich imagination.Bella thought for a while, and said with affirmative tone: "You are definitely an alien, what do you want to do?"

"Bella, please calm down, I won't hurt you." Nora seemed to be amused by Bella's silly words, and she began to explain to Bella slowly.

"I was already in this plant when I was conscious, so I don't really know who I am when you ask me." Nora paused, tilting her head and wondering how to explain this situation in distress, but she She found herself unable to explain what had happened.

She sighed helplessly and said, "To be honest, I don't know how all this happened, but I guess I'm not an alien."

"How can I prove that you are telling the truth?" Bella didn't believe Nora's one-sided words at all.

"I know you liked Daniel Rhodes in junior high school, and you even wrote him a love letter." Nora said with an affirmative tone.

"How did you..." Apart from secretly telling the big cosmos to the pot of cosmos, Bella didn't tell anyone about it.This matter is simply a dark history that Bella does not want to mention, and now she is a little embarrassed to be said out loud by a stranger.

"I also know that when you were in the first year of high school, you stumbled on the stairs and cried for a long time when you came home."

"You know that too?"

"I also know..." Nora said more and more excitedly, she happily shook off all kinds of embarrassing things about Bella.

"It's okay, please don't say it, I believe it's okay!" Bella stopped Nora's eloquent words in a panic, and she felt that if she didn't let Nora stop, she might be so embarrassed that she would suffocate.

Nora shuts her mouth, a look of regret on her face. She was going to tell Bella that she "reached out the window to perform a Rapunzel scene and just caught a hot pile of bird shit."

"If you came out of a plant...then you are an elf?" Bella calmed down, and she couldn't believe that there was a monster in the plant she had raised for four years. The most terrifying thing was that the monster was still growing out of the flower. ran out.Bella felt that she might be schizophrenic, or she hadn't woken up from the nightmare.

"If it's an elf, then the matter can be explained." Bella murmured to herself, then nodded to herself, and she looked at Nora with eyes full of understanding and understanding.Nora's appearance is completely in line with the human fantasy of elves, with long golden curly hair, a pure white classic dress and a slender figure.The more Bella thought about it, the more she felt that Nora might be an elf.

Nora stood quietly aside, watching Bella scratch her hair in trouble, and then looked at herself with weird eyes.Nora was also a little apprehensive at this time, she didn't know whether Bella could accept this matter.

"If my existence troubles you, I'll leave now, and you just pretend you haven't seen me." In a moment of silence, Nora was a little discouraged, her eyes were lowered, looking pitiful.

Although she accompanied Bella as a potted plant for four years, she did have deep feelings for Bella.Bella was the first person she saw after she became conscious, and she was full of dependence on Bella.Bella was struggling in Phoenix, and Nora, as a potted plant, could only watch Bella become silent and gloomy day by day.

Now that Bella came to Fox and was unfamiliar with her life, and Nora became human again, she thought it was her duty to protect Bella so that she could integrate into Fox.

"Uh, do you know where you can go?" Although Bella was still wary of the woman in front of her, she looked soft-hearted at Nora's harmless face.

Nora shook her head.

"Why don't you stay with me for one night tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Bella was a little worried about where the weak-looking woman in front of her would go in the middle of the night.

Nora was a little surprised to see Bella let go so easily, and couldn't help showing a pleasant smile.She nodded, sitting on the floor and whispering good night to Bella.

"You..." Bella couldn't help bursting out of maternal love when she saw Nora wearing a thin long skirt and her bare feet huddled into a small ball on the floor.

"Come and sleep with me." Bella swallowed nervously.

"Bella?" Nora didn't expect Bella to be so considerate.

"Come on." Bella moved into the bed and lifted the quilt.

"Thank you." Nora whispered her thanks and got into Bella's warm bed.

After Nora lay down, Bella was too nervous to sleep.In order to relieve Bella's tense emotions, Nora began to talk about their four years together, and Bella gradually opened up the conversation.The two chatted enthusiastically like friends who met again, and fell asleep when the sky was slightly bright.

After that, Bella tried to search for a series of magical words such as "flower essence", "plant essence" and "elf" on the Internet, but without exception, they all only existed in myths and novels.Bella watched with trepidation for a few days, and after finding that Nora would not do anything that would hurt others, she let Nora stay at ease.

Bella felt faintly excited. There was a living elf by her side. This was a secret that only she knew in the whole world. It was so cool!

Bella racked her brains to make up a story in an attempt to persuade Charlie to let Nora stay. Although Nora felt that the story was full of loopholes, the innocent and kind Charlie actually believed it.

After he took the "unaccompanied" Nora to the police station to make a statement, he let Nora stay.Every time Nora passed by Charlie, Charlie always looked at her with sympathy and pity.This series of operations made Nora dumbfounded. After a lot of nonsense, Nora finally lived a normal life.

Under Charlie's arrangement, Nora successfully entered Fox High School with Bella. At the beginning, Bella was a little worried about whether Nora could keep up with the progress of high school courses, until she saw that Nora had read the new semester's instructions almost at a glance. Only after learning the original "Hamlet" did she have an intuitive feeling about Nora's learning ability.

Nora felt that she couldn't live and eat at Bella's house for free, so she asked Charlie to accompany her to a big pawn shop and pawned the only bracelet on her body.They walked out of the pawn shop and sat back in the car. Nora handed over a large sum of money to Charlie. There was about 3 US dollars in it, which was enough for Nora to live in Fox Town for a long time.Nora knew that the bracelet probably had more than this number at all, but there was nothing she could do about it in this critical period.

"Charlie, thank you and Bella for taking me in. The money will be given to you first, and I will find a new residence as soon as possible." Nora was a little embarrassed. She knew that Charlie paid her living expenses and tuition fees, and it was hard for her to imagine There are still such good people in this world.This kind and innocent sheriff has won Nora's respect and trust.

"Nora, I can't accept it." Charlie pushed away Nora's money, "Your family has suffered such a big change, you can stay with us at ease, Bella also needs friends."

"Think of these as my living expenses and tuition fees. I may have to bother you for a while before I find a place to live. Please don't kick me out of the house." Nora smiled.

Seeing Nora's resolute look, Charlie hesitated to accept the money.

"Nora, is it really okay for you to pawn the bracelet your grandma gave you? That pair of bracelets looks really precious." Charlie looked at the girl who was about the same age as his daughter in front of him with some distress.

"Uh, I think it's okay. I believe my grandma hopes that I can live a stable life with this money." Nora was a little stuck, but she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a righteous look look.

It was school time on Monday, and Bella took Nora into her flashy pickup truck and drove into the school parking lot.Obviously, this strange pickup caught the attention of all the students.Two girls stepped out from under the pickup, Bella with the brown hair and Nora with the blond hair.

Bella couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief seeing that most of the eyes were on Nora. She never enjoyed being stared at, and she couldn't even imagine how stressful it would be if she came to school alone.Bella uncomfortably tugged at her new clothes, which Nora took Bella to buy before school started.

"Bella, you look beautiful and have a good figure, but why do you wear such earthy clothes?" Nora said to Bella with some regret a few days ago.

Bella couldn't bear Nora's nagging, so she could only let Charlie drive them to the shopping center in the town.Charlie gave Bella a card and asked them to buy more clothes and shoes.

Bella stuffed the card into her pocket with some trembling, and walked into the shopping mall with Nora under Charlie's gratified eyes.The sun had set when they came out again, and the two stood at the door of the shopping center waiting for Charlie to pick them up.

It's been a long time since Bella has been shopping in such a crazy street. They almost entered every store.At this time, Bella was so tired that she could only stare blankly at Nora's exquisite face, thinking about how many extra discounts Nora had successfully obtained with her face.After dismissing the third person who came to strike up a conversation, they got into Charlie's car and returned home.

"My dear, it really suits you to dress up like this." Nora's voice brought Bella back to her thoughts. Nora raised a charming smile at her, and Bella heard several boys around Nora gasped for a smile.

Bella smiled shyly at Nora, who was still a little unaccustomed to her new look.

"Hi, I'm Eric, who is Isabella Swan?" When they were walking towards the teaching building, a black-haired man suddenly came out and greeted them.

"Hi." Bella greeted Eric politely.

"We always thought there was only one transfer student." Eric joked, and he cast his curious eyes on Nora beside Bella.

"Hi, my name is Nora, Nora Cirino." Nora introduced herself to Eric in a friendly manner.

"Nice to meet you and welcome to Fox High School. If there is any need, I am always happy to help." Eric's warm smile also infected Bella.He didn't bother them for a long time, and left after saying a few words.

Bella and Nora looked at each other, maybe life here is not bad?
