Twilight you are my light
Chapter 30
Nora and Alice rushed back to Forks across two states almost without sleep. Except for stopping to refuel the car, the rest of the time was spent on the road.
Finally, at Alice's crazy speed, they arrived at Bella's house in the middle of the night.Nora wore a baseball cap with all her striking blond hair hidden in it.Alice also wears a wide-brimmed sun hat, and she also wears a pair of dark glasses to cover her eyes.
The two went directly into Bella's house from behind the window. Just when Nora was cursing herself for not eating well and being weak, Jacob opened the door and caught Nora who was sneaking outside. current.
Yep, now it's all exposed.
Fortunately, Nora didn't care about being exposed at all. Jacob opened the door and saved her the effort to open the window. She just wanted to make sure that Bella was all right.Nora grabbed Jacob's collar and asked in a low voice where Bella was, her hands gripping Jacob's collar tightly because of tension.
Jacob pushed away Nora, who was only up to his chest height, and Nora staggered a few steps back from his heavy push.Jacob's werewolf blood made him very tall, and Nora's petite figure was not worth mentioning in front of Jacob.
"You still have the face to come back? Why don't you hang out with your vampire friends? Or they didn't like you and kicked you out." Jacob was so angry that Nora abandoned Bella so cruelly. Nora's attitude was naturally very bad.
"You'd better tell me if Bella is still alive." Nora didn't bother to quarrel with Jacob, her only concern now was Bella's safety.Nora's gray-blue eyes stared darkly at Jacob, who she thought was wasting his time.
"Bella is doing great without you! You're disappointed to hear that," Jacob said mockingly to Nora.
"So she's alive?" cried Nora joyfully, and she jumped up and rushed into the house.
Jacob looked at his hands, and when he pushed Nora, he felt Nora's bony shoulders, and a flash of unbearable and apologetic flashed in his heart.Seeing that Nora had already entered the house, he could only follow quickly.
As soon as Nora entered the living room, she saw Alice and Bella already sitting on the sofa. She rushed towards Bella, and stopped as if she suddenly remembered something.Alice gave Nora an encouraging look, got up and answered the phone towards the door.
"Nora?" Bella looked at Nora in surprise, God only knew how much she missed her.She got up and gave Nora a hug without any hesitation, and shook Nora's skeletal hand.
"Why are you so skinny again?" Bella looked at the skinny Nora with distress. She actually regretted what she said to Nora, but she couldn't contact Nora after that, and apologized The words never came out.
"I'm sorry Bella, I left you when you needed me the most." Nora buried her face in Bella's arms and said softly.
"Nora, it's all over." Bella stroked Nora's hair, "It's all over."
"Bella, what's going on? Also, why is Jacob still at home so late?" Nora frowned and looked at Jacob who was leaning on the door frame. Fluffy.
Bella just wanted to explain something, but she was grabbed by Alice and walked out the door.
"Bella, I think you'll have to come with us now." Alice interrupted their moment of tenderness. "Edward came home, and he read Carlisle's heart and thought you were dead! Carlisle said Edward was very Might go to Volterra to find the Volturi, he just wants to die with you now!"
Alice dragged Nora and Bella roughly, and dragged each of them to the car.
"You two can go, but Bella can't go with you. She has no reason to put herself in danger for a man who abandoned her." Jacob blocked the door forcefully, his attitude seemed to be that he didn't care about following Alice fights.
Alice looked hostilely at Jacob and didn't do anything after all. She didn't speak but waited quietly for Bella's reply. She knew that only Bella could convince Jacob.Nora shook Alice's hand and told her not to worry. Based on her understanding of Bella, Bella would definitely go with them.
Sure enough, Bella firmly stated that she would go to Volterra together to stop Edward, but Jacob's earnest efforts failed to keep Bella.Nora glanced at the mournful Jacob, full of respect for him in her heart.
Since Bella came to Fox, the friend has not stopped chasing Bella.During their absence at Forks, Jacob probably helped Bella a lot.Nora silently blessed Jacob in her heart, hoping that he could find his true love.
Nora had always had a negative attitude towards the relationship between Bella and Edward, but now it seems that once the two are separated, something will happen, so it is better to let them be together.The only problem now is to find a way to save Edward and fool the Volturi.
Caius, who was far away in Volterra, planned to track down Karen's house with Demetri after finishing the aftermath of the war.He looked at the man standing in the center of the hall, and knew that he didn't have to make this trip.Caius stared at the unkempt Edward, sitting on the throne anxiously waiting for Aro to read his heart.
Ah Luo let go of Edward's hand, and slowly walked back to his seat.His eyes were full of playfulness and admiration, he looked down at the people in the hall slightly, and asked in his soft voice: "Last time we sent Jane to Fox to get in touch with you, but it's a pity that you have moved Yes. Maybe you'd like to tell me where Carlisle is? I want to catch up with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."
Edward just smiled mockingly when he heard this. He knew that the Volturi would not come to Forks for no reason, nor would he care where Carlisle was.What he meant by asking the drunken man in this way was not about drinking, but about where Nora was.Edward's heart has been broken with Bella's death, but he still retains his sanity.
Edward's silence didn't surprise Aro, but angered Caius who was irritable.There was no expression on Caius' pale face, and the murderous aura exuding from his body made Marcus, who was sitting farthest from him, couldn't help but look sideways.The Volturi guards in the main hall couldn't help straightening their backs, and each of them lowered their heads not daring to make a sound.
"You hid the person I've been looking for, Karen." Caius' cold voice was distorted by anger, and he pronounced Edward's last name emphatically to warn and threaten Edward.At this time, Edward had realized how much trouble he would bring to the family by coming to the Volturi, and he regretted it a bit, but he had no cards to play and no way out.
Edward closed his eyes in pain and continued to remain silent.
"You did break some laws, but the human being exposed is dead, so your crime is not lethal. If you will bring your hidden people to the Volturi, you will be pardoned." Marku Adams threw down a bait calmly, but obviously he underestimated Edward's determination.
Edward can't do anything about Bella's death, all he can do now is to protect Nora and his family.He pursed his lips hard, looked up at A Luo: "I will find a reason why you have to execute me." After he finished speaking, he turned and left the hall, leaving behind A Luo and Marcus with regretful faces, and A sneering Caius.
……
Alice, Bella, and Nora boarded the earliest plane to Florence, Italy. After landing, they had to drive for an hour and a half to reach Volterra. It was almost noon when I pulled.
According to Alice's prophecy, Edward will stand in the sun at noon to reveal his identity, so that he can get the Volturi's death trial and follow Bella's footsteps to die.
Nora had an attitude of respect and fear towards the Volturi.In Carlisle's description, the Volturi have supreme power, and no family dares to shake the status of the Volturi.
They are the defenders of order in the vampire world, and Edward's actions are undoubtedly defying the law.She honestly had no idea how she had fooled the Volturi, but she was willing to give it a try for Bella.
She was so tormented by this unexpected trip.Due to the long-term lack of food, Nora's body is very weak.It was too much to rush back and forth under such constant fear, so she could only lie sickly in Bella's arms and sleep.
"Be patient, I will take you to hunt when the matter is over." Alice comforted Nora, who was sweating in the rearview mirror.
Bella hugged Nora helplessly, not daring to move her numb arm. At this moment, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.She also seemed to understand why Nora persuaded herself to stay away from vampires, because human beings were too weak in front of such dark creatures.
"We have arrived!"
Alice dropped the stolen jeep on the side of the road and took Nora from Bella. She put her hat on for Nora thoughtfully and shouted to Bella: "You just follow the flow of people to the center of town, He's under the clock tower, hurry up! The time is almost up!"
It was 15 minutes before the hour.
Bella ran away immediately when she heard that, calling Edward's name in her heart while running.The city of Volterra is neither big nor small, but it is very difficult for someone who is completely unfamiliar with the way to find someone in the city.
In December, Volterra is celebrating a festival. This Christian festival makes the whole town bustling with people. Every corner is full of people.Bella tried her best to push through the crowd and shuttle through the city. The big and small roads made Bella a little crazy, but she could only believe Alice's words and follow the flow of people.
Alice also huddled in the crowd with the weak Nora on her back. She was anxious to find Edward, but forgot that Nora had just started a vegetarian diet not long ago.
The crowd made Nora's bloodthirsty factor active again, Nora's fangs stretched out unconsciously, and she wailed in pain, trying to calm herself down.Alice finally noticed the abnormality of Nora behind her. She quickly took Nora away from the crowd and came to an open space to put Nora down.
"You go to Edward first, and I will solve my food problem by myself." Nora endured hunger and gave Alice a pertinent opinion. She felt a sudden pain in her temple.
"Then remember to come to us." Alice had no choice at this time, she could only ask a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
10 minutes to go.
Nora sat on the ground and stood up after resting for a while. She planned to go out of Volterra City to get some animal blood, but the winding roads confused her.Inexplicably, she got into a narrow alley, and just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by a big man.
The big man looked at the little girl in front of him who was dressed like a passenger, she was thin and small and had no ability to resist at all, so he had the evil idea of robbing money and sex.He moved closer to Nora and held out his rough, callused hand.
"Get out of the way, or you will be the one who regrets it." Nora said coldly to the big man while enduring the hunger in her body.
"Little girl, I think you haven't figured out your situation." The big man approached Nora with an evil smile.Nora was shrouded in the shadow of his huge frame.Just as his hand was about to pull Nora's clothes, his expression froze all of a sudden.
"Oh, it looks like today is the meat day." Nora raised her face covered by the brim of her hat, her gray-blue eyes were now frighteningly red.
Following her instinct, she rushed to the strong neck of the big man, and her sharp fangs pierced the man's carotid artery accurately.The blood spurting from the arterial artery made Nora feel very excited. She sucked the big man's blood in big gulps, feeling the power gushing out from the depths of her body.
This is the smell of human blood.
She gnawed on the big man's neck without hesitation, the blood splashed on her face, and the silky and sweet blood nourished Nora's chronically hungry stomach.She felt the pleasure of blood sliding into her veins, and couldn't help laughing lowly.Nora held him until there was no blood left on the big man, and she let go of the man who looked like a shriveled jelly bag.
Nora looked around and decided to throw him into the stinky ditch behind the alley to fake the scene.She walked a few steps on the ground to find the water pipe used for washing clothes. She turned on the switch and washed the blood sticking to her body with the water pipe.
Finally, she took off the dark coat and washed it hastily before putting on the wet coat.She couldn't afford to lose her coat, and even though she wasn't afraid of the cold, walking down the street in just a thin suspender dress was bound to attract troublesome eyes.
5 minutes to go.
Nora handled the scene like a skilled serial killer, retucking her loose hair into the hat.Nora, who had absorbed fresh blood, seemed to have a new look at this time. She climbed up to the wall as lightly as a swallow, glanced at the approximate location of the clock tower from a distance, and then began to plan her way forward.When she fell down from the wall, she saw two men, one tall and one short, standing in front of her.
Nora could tell at a glance that they were not human beings. Their blood-red eyes and white to transparent skin all told them that they were vampires.
The tall one is very strong, even stronger than Emmett.The shorter one had a long, narrow face, and the most striking feature was his aquiline nose.Nora looked at the two people in front of her warily, her mind running at high speed, constantly planning the escape route.
"I finally see you." The two men bowed to Nora politely.
Volterra itself is full of Volturi eyeliners, so Felix and Dmitri noticed them when Alice's car drove to Volterra.Since Alice and Nora are similar in size, and both of them are tightly wrapped, it is really confusing. It is not until Dmitry smells Alice that they know that they are following the wrong person.
"I'm busy, get out of the way." Nora yelled at the two people in front of her with a sullen face, and she had already started to summon the vines under the ground to break out of the encirclement.
"We are the guards of the Volturi, please let us lead the way." The two still maintained a respectful attitude. They seemed to have not noticed Nora's little tricks, and they already knew that Nora's purpose was to find Edward.
Nora glanced at the family crest on their chests and looked at them suspiciously, until she nodded slightly and was picked up by Felix, and quickly shuttled through the dark alleys of Volterra.
When they walked into the main entrance of the Volturi, Nora had already seen Bella and Edward embracing each other, and Alice seemed to be talking with the other two guards of the Volturi.
Felix put Nora down carefully and said a few words to Jane.Jane and Alec looked up at Nora and couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This person really looks exactly like Mrs. Ahinodora.
It is a very scary thing for a person who should have been dead for more than [-] years to come back to life again, so they had a tacit understanding and did not speak until the dust settled.
Norah hadn't seen Edward for nearly three months.Edward was unshaven at this time, and the black circles under his eyes were surprisingly heavy. He was wearing a thin white shirt, and he looked like a humanoid panda.Nora thought to herself that if Edward had appeared in front of Bella in this state, the two of them would not have had so many things to do later.
Although Nora complained in her heart about Edward's impulsiveness and unreliability, she was very glad that Edward was still alive.
The whole Volturi Palace was built as a medieval castle, and a small part of it was opened as a museum. Jane took them from the path of the museum to the palace.
This was Nora's first visit to this kind of old castle, and she looked around curiously, more curious than fearful.At the same time, she wondered why the four Volturi guards were so polite to her. For example, when taking the elevator, she always let herself go first, lowered her head when going down the stairs to let herself be careful, and brought herself a new coats and such.
"The Volturi's tutor is really good. I must have been a well-educated Volturi guard before." Nora sighed in her heart.
Hearing Nora's heartfelt voice, Edward almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but it was not appropriate to laugh in such a serious atmosphere.He hugged the lost and recovered Bella and refused to let go. Although he knew that the next situation might not be optimistic, he seemed to have regained his courage by holding Bella.
Among the four, the most nervous and serious ones are probably Alice and Bella.Alice knew that Aro had a quirk of collecting ability. Now that she and Edward both have special abilities, I am afraid that she and Edward will inevitably become the Volturi's attention in the future.
The cold walls and floor tiles of the Volturi Palace made Bella shudder. This was not the first time she felt a dangerous aura from a vampire.She still shuddered at the memory of the vampire named James, let alone now that they were in the seat of vampire royalty.Bella quietly glanced at Nora, who looked out of the situation, and Edward, who had a dignified expression, secretly cheering for herself.
After walking a long way, they finally came to a door with a height of three meters.Felix twisted open the heavy iron door to signal the four of them to go in, and the group who were forcibly invited into the Volturi could only walk in with trepidation.Even if there was a cliff or lava in front of them, they had to bite the bullet and rush forward. Resisting the Volturi was not as good as jumping off the cliff and dying.
Fortunately, there is only a magnificent hall behind the door.Although the bricks and tiles in the temple are all made of stones, the stones are exquisitely crafted and carved with intricate patterns.The entire hall is very empty, and there are exquisite artworks on both sides of the hall, and there are even echoes when speaking inside.
In the center of the main hall, there are three jet-black sofa chairs. The armrests of the chairs and the back of the chairs form an arc, which looks like they are suspended in the air from a distance.Except for the upholstery, the other parts of the chairs are made of black crystal, so the three chairs are shiny black.There were three men sitting on the chair, side by side like a judge.
Nora felt a pressure sensitively, and she quietly took a look at the three people sitting on the chairs. They looked exactly like the portraits hanging in the living room of Karen's house.Nora glanced at Caius on the far right herself, and she felt a certain connection between her and Caius, which is what Carlisle called a "close friend".
Arrow stepped off the luxurious and spacious black stool and walked towards Edward and Bella.His steps were slow and oppressive, and he congratulated Edward and Bella that both were alive, but Nora somehow knew he wasn't as happy as he seemed.
Arrow admired Edward's ability to read minds, and then changed the subject to Bella.He couldn't help but smile again when he realized that he couldn't read Bella's mind either.That smile made Nora's hair stand on end, and she looked at Bella with some worry.
Luo is very interested in Bella, a human being who has shown talent in human times. He wants to use the abilities of Jane and Alec to do a small experiment on Bella, to see if Bella can also resist their special abilities. ability.Nora frowned and looked at the aggressive man in front of her. She was interrupted by Marcus just as she was about to speak out.
"We have several guests today, don't let them feel left out." Marcus's lifeless voice sounded in the empty hall.He interrupted at the right time, and Nora silently gave Marcus a compliment in her heart, showing a little affection for him.
"Yes, yes." Luo felt a little regretful, but he didn't want to embarrass Marcus in front of so many people. "I think the most urgent thing is to solve this ghost relationship between people who are tormenting each other."
Ah Luo habitually put his palms together in front of his mouth to think, and he turned his back.
"How should we handle this?"
"Let's bring the story back to the original direction: execute them to avoid future troubles." Said Caius indifferently, sitting on the chair on the right, as casually as if answering what to eat tonight.
He was still angry with Edward, so naturally he would not let go of this great opportunity.Caius taught the Karen family a lesson, letting them know that anyone who hinders him will suffer consequences.
Nora felt chilled when she heard the cruel judgment from the delicate-faced blond man, and she couldn't help but look up at the man sitting on the throne.
Caius was dressed in black inside and out, and a black robe over his clothes. The only color on his body was the gray-blue necklace on his chest.Caius casually crossed his legs, propped his head on one hand, and watched A Luo's show boredly.There was no kindness in his eyes, like a platinum demon.
With just one glance, Nora immediately put away her sizing eyes. She only felt danger from this man.Nora took Alice's hand lightly, and Alice shook it back firmly.
How could such a person be his once "close friend"?
Ah Luo seemed to have finally made his decision, with a faint regret and pleasure on his face, he nodded gratifiedly at Caius.
Caius glanced at Aro, and said a name: "Felix."
"No!" Edward seemed to understand something, he pulled Bella behind him, and watched Felix, who was strong and tall, warily.
Felix wasted no time. When he received the order, he rushed to Edward at a high speed and pinned him to the ground without hesitation.He then raised his arms to lift Edward, and fell hard to the ground, making Edward incapacitated.
Under the absolute power of Felix, Edward had no room to resist, he could only be thrown around like a steak.
"No, please, don't do this!" In just a few seconds, Bella saw Edward who fell to the ground and couldn't move.She glanced at Alice as if asking for help, and wanted to rush to the fallen Edward at a loss.
"Bella!" Edward yelled hoarsely, watching Felix rush towards Bella with pain on his face.
Suddenly, Nora, who was standing aside, quickly hugged Bella into her arms, and a row of vines broke through the ground, piercing through the solid floor tiles, forming a row of thick walls behind Nora.Felix's fist hit the vine, and his fist got stuck in the wall, just missing Nora, and they narrowly escaped Felix's attack.
Nora was extremely thankful that her body's ability had greatly improved after drinking human blood. She thought to herself that if she had known that the Volturi were so cruel, she should have eaten a few more people.
Bella felt slightly sour watching Nora hugging herself in her arms.It was Nora who held herself in her arms when she had a car accident at school.
Everyone in the hall looked at the girl in the peaked cap who moved suddenly, even Aro and Marcus were frightened by the explosive force.
Ah Luo lowered his clasped hands, and his red eyes were filled with a gleam called "Interest".He parted his mouth slightly, as if he had found a more interesting ability than Edward's.A complicated expression appeared on Marcus' indifferent face, as if he had discovered something.
Felix looked at Bella, who was protected by Nora, a little bit helpless. He pulled his hand out of the vine wall angrily, and looked helplessly at Caius who was sitting beside him, thinking about how to explain it. this situation.
"What are you doing, Felix? Kill her." Caius stood up from his seat in displeasure. He didn't understand why his loyal guard stopped.
"He won't do it, and neither will you." Alice glanced at Caius, she broke free from the Volturi guards' restraint, went straight to Aro and offered her hand.
"Bella will become a vampire, I saw it." At this time, Alice could only choose to expose her abilities in exchange for the safety of her friends and family.
"Alice." Edward softly called Alice's name with a guilty tone.
If I had listened to Nora's words and hadn't left Fox, if I had been more careful to confirm Bella's safety, wouldn't all of this have happened?
"Ha, the ability to predict, what a precious and rare ability! The Karen family is full of talents." Aro glanced at Alice and Nora with admiring and crazy eyes, and he was thinking about how to get such an ability.But his jealousy was quickly replaced by shock, and his expression changed from surprise to surprise.
Ah Luo's smile froze on his face, and he watched Alice withdraw her hand in a daze.His red eyes flicked past Nora who was wearing a hat, and then turned to look at Caius, showing the same complicated expression as Marcus.
"Caius, if you see her, will you still let Felix do it?" Alice walked to Nora's side and lifted Nora's hat.Nora's blond hair fell freely behind her, free from the cap's restraint.
Nora's small face looked very nervous. Although she believed that Alice would not harm her, she did not expect that she would be so direct, exposing herself to the public without any preparation.
"Don't be afraid, I see you will return to Forks." Alice pulled Bella and Nora up from the ground, and whispered to Nora.
"Ahinodora?"
The arrogance and indifference disappeared from Caius' face. He looked at that flustered face and remembered how he was when he first met Ahinodora. She looked like a deer lost in the forest. His demeanor was exactly the same as that of Ahinodora.Even though he knew that the vampire had no chance of surviving after being burned to death, Caius couldn't help being in a trance when he faced this face.
Caius walked slowly towards Nora step by step, and his shiny black leather shoes made a crisp tapping sound on the stone floor tiles.Bella, who was standing behind Nora, was pulled aside by Alice, and helped Edward who fell to the ground.
No one in the hall dared to speak.
Nora was alone and helpless at this time. She wanted to summon vines to protect herself, but she had to succumb to Caius' sense of oppression.She didn't dare to move at will, but had no choice but to lower her head and feel that this unbelievably beautiful man was constantly approaching her.
Caius had already come in front of Nora. The distance between them was only two fists. To outsiders, their posture seemed ambiguous and intimate.Nora was wearing the jacket that Felix brought, revealing the suspender skirt inside, and the skirt was still stained with dried blood.
Nora was surrounded by a blood-smelling cold air, she watched Caius raised his hand and caressed her cheek rudely.But she didn't make any resistance movements, her body seemed to have been used to such touching for a long time.
"Why are you crying?" Caius' deep voice came from above his head.
Nora touched the corners of her eyes inexplicably, her fingers were stained with red liquid.Blood-red tears overflowed from her gray-blue eyes, and slid down her cheeks all the way to her chin.
She quickly looked up at Caius's face, his face was no longer as cold as before, but showed a little childlike confusion, and there was emotion in the red eyes that she could not understand.
Nora didn't answer his question, she just looked at Caius carefully.His face is thinner than it looks in the portrait, obviously he is the youngest of the three, but now he looks even more vicissitudes than Ah Luo.
"You haven't answered me yet, why are you crying?" Caius slightly increased his voice, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction and almost inaudible complaints in his cold voice, but Nora didn't know how to answer this question.
She didn't understand why she was crying, she didn't understand why she felt so sad, and she didn't understand how important this man was to her.She was like a kid who sneaked out to play and got caught by the parents next door.
Can't argue with a hundred mouths, don't know why.
Caius was no longer obsessed with this question, he smelled the bloody tears in his palm, his expression mixed with joy or sadness.He stared at Nora's gray-blue eyes, grasped the ring necklace on his chest, and looked at Nora's strange eyes with anger in his heart, but he was not willing to get angry at her.
Caius moved closer to Nora's face, his cold nose brushed against Nora's cheek, and his flexible and moist tongue licked the tears on Nora's face.In the next second, he hugged Nora, who was stiff all over.
"You've lost weight." Caius seemed to be sighing, his voice was full of distress and satisfaction.He put his face on the top of Ahinodora's head, and gently reproached: "I'll just tell you that you can't leave me. You see, you won't even be able to eat well if you leave me."
Nora was a little attached to Caius' embrace, and she buried her head in Caius's embrace, listening to what was almost a whisper between lovers.She felt a little sad and shy in her heart, she didn't know what happened to this man, but she was sure that there should be some kind of intimate connection between them, but she herself didn't remember anything related to him at all.
Caius held Nora's face in his hands, looked at those heartless eyes without fear, and uttered a sentence:
"I won't let you run away from me again."
Finally, at Alice's crazy speed, they arrived at Bella's house in the middle of the night.Nora wore a baseball cap with all her striking blond hair hidden in it.Alice also wears a wide-brimmed sun hat, and she also wears a pair of dark glasses to cover her eyes.
The two went directly into Bella's house from behind the window. Just when Nora was cursing herself for not eating well and being weak, Jacob opened the door and caught Nora who was sneaking outside. current.
Yep, now it's all exposed.
Fortunately, Nora didn't care about being exposed at all. Jacob opened the door and saved her the effort to open the window. She just wanted to make sure that Bella was all right.Nora grabbed Jacob's collar and asked in a low voice where Bella was, her hands gripping Jacob's collar tightly because of tension.
Jacob pushed away Nora, who was only up to his chest height, and Nora staggered a few steps back from his heavy push.Jacob's werewolf blood made him very tall, and Nora's petite figure was not worth mentioning in front of Jacob.
"You still have the face to come back? Why don't you hang out with your vampire friends? Or they didn't like you and kicked you out." Jacob was so angry that Nora abandoned Bella so cruelly. Nora's attitude was naturally very bad.
"You'd better tell me if Bella is still alive." Nora didn't bother to quarrel with Jacob, her only concern now was Bella's safety.Nora's gray-blue eyes stared darkly at Jacob, who she thought was wasting his time.
"Bella is doing great without you! You're disappointed to hear that," Jacob said mockingly to Nora.
"So she's alive?" cried Nora joyfully, and she jumped up and rushed into the house.
Jacob looked at his hands, and when he pushed Nora, he felt Nora's bony shoulders, and a flash of unbearable and apologetic flashed in his heart.Seeing that Nora had already entered the house, he could only follow quickly.
As soon as Nora entered the living room, she saw Alice and Bella already sitting on the sofa. She rushed towards Bella, and stopped as if she suddenly remembered something.Alice gave Nora an encouraging look, got up and answered the phone towards the door.
"Nora?" Bella looked at Nora in surprise, God only knew how much she missed her.She got up and gave Nora a hug without any hesitation, and shook Nora's skeletal hand.
"Why are you so skinny again?" Bella looked at the skinny Nora with distress. She actually regretted what she said to Nora, but she couldn't contact Nora after that, and apologized The words never came out.
"I'm sorry Bella, I left you when you needed me the most." Nora buried her face in Bella's arms and said softly.
"Nora, it's all over." Bella stroked Nora's hair, "It's all over."
"Bella, what's going on? Also, why is Jacob still at home so late?" Nora frowned and looked at Jacob who was leaning on the door frame. Fluffy.
Bella just wanted to explain something, but she was grabbed by Alice and walked out the door.
"Bella, I think you'll have to come with us now." Alice interrupted their moment of tenderness. "Edward came home, and he read Carlisle's heart and thought you were dead! Carlisle said Edward was very Might go to Volterra to find the Volturi, he just wants to die with you now!"
Alice dragged Nora and Bella roughly, and dragged each of them to the car.
"You two can go, but Bella can't go with you. She has no reason to put herself in danger for a man who abandoned her." Jacob blocked the door forcefully, his attitude seemed to be that he didn't care about following Alice fights.
Alice looked hostilely at Jacob and didn't do anything after all. She didn't speak but waited quietly for Bella's reply. She knew that only Bella could convince Jacob.Nora shook Alice's hand and told her not to worry. Based on her understanding of Bella, Bella would definitely go with them.
Sure enough, Bella firmly stated that she would go to Volterra together to stop Edward, but Jacob's earnest efforts failed to keep Bella.Nora glanced at the mournful Jacob, full of respect for him in her heart.
Since Bella came to Fox, the friend has not stopped chasing Bella.During their absence at Forks, Jacob probably helped Bella a lot.Nora silently blessed Jacob in her heart, hoping that he could find his true love.
Nora had always had a negative attitude towards the relationship between Bella and Edward, but now it seems that once the two are separated, something will happen, so it is better to let them be together.The only problem now is to find a way to save Edward and fool the Volturi.
Caius, who was far away in Volterra, planned to track down Karen's house with Demetri after finishing the aftermath of the war.He looked at the man standing in the center of the hall, and knew that he didn't have to make this trip.Caius stared at the unkempt Edward, sitting on the throne anxiously waiting for Aro to read his heart.
Ah Luo let go of Edward's hand, and slowly walked back to his seat.His eyes were full of playfulness and admiration, he looked down at the people in the hall slightly, and asked in his soft voice: "Last time we sent Jane to Fox to get in touch with you, but it's a pity that you have moved Yes. Maybe you'd like to tell me where Carlisle is? I want to catch up with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."
Edward just smiled mockingly when he heard this. He knew that the Volturi would not come to Forks for no reason, nor would he care where Carlisle was.What he meant by asking the drunken man in this way was not about drinking, but about where Nora was.Edward's heart has been broken with Bella's death, but he still retains his sanity.
Edward's silence didn't surprise Aro, but angered Caius who was irritable.There was no expression on Caius' pale face, and the murderous aura exuding from his body made Marcus, who was sitting farthest from him, couldn't help but look sideways.The Volturi guards in the main hall couldn't help straightening their backs, and each of them lowered their heads not daring to make a sound.
"You hid the person I've been looking for, Karen." Caius' cold voice was distorted by anger, and he pronounced Edward's last name emphatically to warn and threaten Edward.At this time, Edward had realized how much trouble he would bring to the family by coming to the Volturi, and he regretted it a bit, but he had no cards to play and no way out.
Edward closed his eyes in pain and continued to remain silent.
"You did break some laws, but the human being exposed is dead, so your crime is not lethal. If you will bring your hidden people to the Volturi, you will be pardoned." Marku Adams threw down a bait calmly, but obviously he underestimated Edward's determination.
Edward can't do anything about Bella's death, all he can do now is to protect Nora and his family.He pursed his lips hard, looked up at A Luo: "I will find a reason why you have to execute me." After he finished speaking, he turned and left the hall, leaving behind A Luo and Marcus with regretful faces, and A sneering Caius.
……
Alice, Bella, and Nora boarded the earliest plane to Florence, Italy. After landing, they had to drive for an hour and a half to reach Volterra. It was almost noon when I pulled.
According to Alice's prophecy, Edward will stand in the sun at noon to reveal his identity, so that he can get the Volturi's death trial and follow Bella's footsteps to die.
Nora had an attitude of respect and fear towards the Volturi.In Carlisle's description, the Volturi have supreme power, and no family dares to shake the status of the Volturi.
They are the defenders of order in the vampire world, and Edward's actions are undoubtedly defying the law.She honestly had no idea how she had fooled the Volturi, but she was willing to give it a try for Bella.
She was so tormented by this unexpected trip.Due to the long-term lack of food, Nora's body is very weak.It was too much to rush back and forth under such constant fear, so she could only lie sickly in Bella's arms and sleep.
"Be patient, I will take you to hunt when the matter is over." Alice comforted Nora, who was sweating in the rearview mirror.
Bella hugged Nora helplessly, not daring to move her numb arm. At this moment, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.She also seemed to understand why Nora persuaded herself to stay away from vampires, because human beings were too weak in front of such dark creatures.
"We have arrived!"
Alice dropped the stolen jeep on the side of the road and took Nora from Bella. She put her hat on for Nora thoughtfully and shouted to Bella: "You just follow the flow of people to the center of town, He's under the clock tower, hurry up! The time is almost up!"
It was 15 minutes before the hour.
Bella ran away immediately when she heard that, calling Edward's name in her heart while running.The city of Volterra is neither big nor small, but it is very difficult for someone who is completely unfamiliar with the way to find someone in the city.
In December, Volterra is celebrating a festival. This Christian festival makes the whole town bustling with people. Every corner is full of people.Bella tried her best to push through the crowd and shuttle through the city. The big and small roads made Bella a little crazy, but she could only believe Alice's words and follow the flow of people.
Alice also huddled in the crowd with the weak Nora on her back. She was anxious to find Edward, but forgot that Nora had just started a vegetarian diet not long ago.
The crowd made Nora's bloodthirsty factor active again, Nora's fangs stretched out unconsciously, and she wailed in pain, trying to calm herself down.Alice finally noticed the abnormality of Nora behind her. She quickly took Nora away from the crowd and came to an open space to put Nora down.
"You go to Edward first, and I will solve my food problem by myself." Nora endured hunger and gave Alice a pertinent opinion. She felt a sudden pain in her temple.
"Then remember to come to us." Alice had no choice at this time, she could only ask a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
10 minutes to go.
Nora sat on the ground and stood up after resting for a while. She planned to go out of Volterra City to get some animal blood, but the winding roads confused her.Inexplicably, she got into a narrow alley, and just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by a big man.
The big man looked at the little girl in front of him who was dressed like a passenger, she was thin and small and had no ability to resist at all, so he had the evil idea of robbing money and sex.He moved closer to Nora and held out his rough, callused hand.
"Get out of the way, or you will be the one who regrets it." Nora said coldly to the big man while enduring the hunger in her body.
"Little girl, I think you haven't figured out your situation." The big man approached Nora with an evil smile.Nora was shrouded in the shadow of his huge frame.Just as his hand was about to pull Nora's clothes, his expression froze all of a sudden.
"Oh, it looks like today is the meat day." Nora raised her face covered by the brim of her hat, her gray-blue eyes were now frighteningly red.
Following her instinct, she rushed to the strong neck of the big man, and her sharp fangs pierced the man's carotid artery accurately.The blood spurting from the arterial artery made Nora feel very excited. She sucked the big man's blood in big gulps, feeling the power gushing out from the depths of her body.
This is the smell of human blood.
She gnawed on the big man's neck without hesitation, the blood splashed on her face, and the silky and sweet blood nourished Nora's chronically hungry stomach.She felt the pleasure of blood sliding into her veins, and couldn't help laughing lowly.Nora held him until there was no blood left on the big man, and she let go of the man who looked like a shriveled jelly bag.
Nora looked around and decided to throw him into the stinky ditch behind the alley to fake the scene.She walked a few steps on the ground to find the water pipe used for washing clothes. She turned on the switch and washed the blood sticking to her body with the water pipe.
Finally, she took off the dark coat and washed it hastily before putting on the wet coat.She couldn't afford to lose her coat, and even though she wasn't afraid of the cold, walking down the street in just a thin suspender dress was bound to attract troublesome eyes.
5 minutes to go.
Nora handled the scene like a skilled serial killer, retucking her loose hair into the hat.Nora, who had absorbed fresh blood, seemed to have a new look at this time. She climbed up to the wall as lightly as a swallow, glanced at the approximate location of the clock tower from a distance, and then began to plan her way forward.When she fell down from the wall, she saw two men, one tall and one short, standing in front of her.
Nora could tell at a glance that they were not human beings. Their blood-red eyes and white to transparent skin all told them that they were vampires.
The tall one is very strong, even stronger than Emmett.The shorter one had a long, narrow face, and the most striking feature was his aquiline nose.Nora looked at the two people in front of her warily, her mind running at high speed, constantly planning the escape route.
"I finally see you." The two men bowed to Nora politely.
Volterra itself is full of Volturi eyeliners, so Felix and Dmitri noticed them when Alice's car drove to Volterra.Since Alice and Nora are similar in size, and both of them are tightly wrapped, it is really confusing. It is not until Dmitry smells Alice that they know that they are following the wrong person.
"I'm busy, get out of the way." Nora yelled at the two people in front of her with a sullen face, and she had already started to summon the vines under the ground to break out of the encirclement.
"We are the guards of the Volturi, please let us lead the way." The two still maintained a respectful attitude. They seemed to have not noticed Nora's little tricks, and they already knew that Nora's purpose was to find Edward.
Nora glanced at the family crest on their chests and looked at them suspiciously, until she nodded slightly and was picked up by Felix, and quickly shuttled through the dark alleys of Volterra.
When they walked into the main entrance of the Volturi, Nora had already seen Bella and Edward embracing each other, and Alice seemed to be talking with the other two guards of the Volturi.
Felix put Nora down carefully and said a few words to Jane.Jane and Alec looked up at Nora and couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This person really looks exactly like Mrs. Ahinodora.
It is a very scary thing for a person who should have been dead for more than [-] years to come back to life again, so they had a tacit understanding and did not speak until the dust settled.
Norah hadn't seen Edward for nearly three months.Edward was unshaven at this time, and the black circles under his eyes were surprisingly heavy. He was wearing a thin white shirt, and he looked like a humanoid panda.Nora thought to herself that if Edward had appeared in front of Bella in this state, the two of them would not have had so many things to do later.
Although Nora complained in her heart about Edward's impulsiveness and unreliability, she was very glad that Edward was still alive.
The whole Volturi Palace was built as a medieval castle, and a small part of it was opened as a museum. Jane took them from the path of the museum to the palace.
This was Nora's first visit to this kind of old castle, and she looked around curiously, more curious than fearful.At the same time, she wondered why the four Volturi guards were so polite to her. For example, when taking the elevator, she always let herself go first, lowered her head when going down the stairs to let herself be careful, and brought herself a new coats and such.
"The Volturi's tutor is really good. I must have been a well-educated Volturi guard before." Nora sighed in her heart.
Hearing Nora's heartfelt voice, Edward almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but it was not appropriate to laugh in such a serious atmosphere.He hugged the lost and recovered Bella and refused to let go. Although he knew that the next situation might not be optimistic, he seemed to have regained his courage by holding Bella.
Among the four, the most nervous and serious ones are probably Alice and Bella.Alice knew that Aro had a quirk of collecting ability. Now that she and Edward both have special abilities, I am afraid that she and Edward will inevitably become the Volturi's attention in the future.
The cold walls and floor tiles of the Volturi Palace made Bella shudder. This was not the first time she felt a dangerous aura from a vampire.She still shuddered at the memory of the vampire named James, let alone now that they were in the seat of vampire royalty.Bella quietly glanced at Nora, who looked out of the situation, and Edward, who had a dignified expression, secretly cheering for herself.
After walking a long way, they finally came to a door with a height of three meters.Felix twisted open the heavy iron door to signal the four of them to go in, and the group who were forcibly invited into the Volturi could only walk in with trepidation.Even if there was a cliff or lava in front of them, they had to bite the bullet and rush forward. Resisting the Volturi was not as good as jumping off the cliff and dying.
Fortunately, there is only a magnificent hall behind the door.Although the bricks and tiles in the temple are all made of stones, the stones are exquisitely crafted and carved with intricate patterns.The entire hall is very empty, and there are exquisite artworks on both sides of the hall, and there are even echoes when speaking inside.
In the center of the main hall, there are three jet-black sofa chairs. The armrests of the chairs and the back of the chairs form an arc, which looks like they are suspended in the air from a distance.Except for the upholstery, the other parts of the chairs are made of black crystal, so the three chairs are shiny black.There were three men sitting on the chair, side by side like a judge.
Nora felt a pressure sensitively, and she quietly took a look at the three people sitting on the chairs. They looked exactly like the portraits hanging in the living room of Karen's house.Nora glanced at Caius on the far right herself, and she felt a certain connection between her and Caius, which is what Carlisle called a "close friend".
Arrow stepped off the luxurious and spacious black stool and walked towards Edward and Bella.His steps were slow and oppressive, and he congratulated Edward and Bella that both were alive, but Nora somehow knew he wasn't as happy as he seemed.
Arrow admired Edward's ability to read minds, and then changed the subject to Bella.He couldn't help but smile again when he realized that he couldn't read Bella's mind either.That smile made Nora's hair stand on end, and she looked at Bella with some worry.
Luo is very interested in Bella, a human being who has shown talent in human times. He wants to use the abilities of Jane and Alec to do a small experiment on Bella, to see if Bella can also resist their special abilities. ability.Nora frowned and looked at the aggressive man in front of her. She was interrupted by Marcus just as she was about to speak out.
"We have several guests today, don't let them feel left out." Marcus's lifeless voice sounded in the empty hall.He interrupted at the right time, and Nora silently gave Marcus a compliment in her heart, showing a little affection for him.
"Yes, yes." Luo felt a little regretful, but he didn't want to embarrass Marcus in front of so many people. "I think the most urgent thing is to solve this ghost relationship between people who are tormenting each other."
Ah Luo habitually put his palms together in front of his mouth to think, and he turned his back.
"How should we handle this?"
"Let's bring the story back to the original direction: execute them to avoid future troubles." Said Caius indifferently, sitting on the chair on the right, as casually as if answering what to eat tonight.
He was still angry with Edward, so naturally he would not let go of this great opportunity.Caius taught the Karen family a lesson, letting them know that anyone who hinders him will suffer consequences.
Nora felt chilled when she heard the cruel judgment from the delicate-faced blond man, and she couldn't help but look up at the man sitting on the throne.
Caius was dressed in black inside and out, and a black robe over his clothes. The only color on his body was the gray-blue necklace on his chest.Caius casually crossed his legs, propped his head on one hand, and watched A Luo's show boredly.There was no kindness in his eyes, like a platinum demon.
With just one glance, Nora immediately put away her sizing eyes. She only felt danger from this man.Nora took Alice's hand lightly, and Alice shook it back firmly.
How could such a person be his once "close friend"?
Ah Luo seemed to have finally made his decision, with a faint regret and pleasure on his face, he nodded gratifiedly at Caius.
Caius glanced at Aro, and said a name: "Felix."
"No!" Edward seemed to understand something, he pulled Bella behind him, and watched Felix, who was strong and tall, warily.
Felix wasted no time. When he received the order, he rushed to Edward at a high speed and pinned him to the ground without hesitation.He then raised his arms to lift Edward, and fell hard to the ground, making Edward incapacitated.
Under the absolute power of Felix, Edward had no room to resist, he could only be thrown around like a steak.
"No, please, don't do this!" In just a few seconds, Bella saw Edward who fell to the ground and couldn't move.She glanced at Alice as if asking for help, and wanted to rush to the fallen Edward at a loss.
"Bella!" Edward yelled hoarsely, watching Felix rush towards Bella with pain on his face.
Suddenly, Nora, who was standing aside, quickly hugged Bella into her arms, and a row of vines broke through the ground, piercing through the solid floor tiles, forming a row of thick walls behind Nora.Felix's fist hit the vine, and his fist got stuck in the wall, just missing Nora, and they narrowly escaped Felix's attack.
Nora was extremely thankful that her body's ability had greatly improved after drinking human blood. She thought to herself that if she had known that the Volturi were so cruel, she should have eaten a few more people.
Bella felt slightly sour watching Nora hugging herself in her arms.It was Nora who held herself in her arms when she had a car accident at school.
Everyone in the hall looked at the girl in the peaked cap who moved suddenly, even Aro and Marcus were frightened by the explosive force.
Ah Luo lowered his clasped hands, and his red eyes were filled with a gleam called "Interest".He parted his mouth slightly, as if he had found a more interesting ability than Edward's.A complicated expression appeared on Marcus' indifferent face, as if he had discovered something.
Felix looked at Bella, who was protected by Nora, a little bit helpless. He pulled his hand out of the vine wall angrily, and looked helplessly at Caius who was sitting beside him, thinking about how to explain it. this situation.
"What are you doing, Felix? Kill her." Caius stood up from his seat in displeasure. He didn't understand why his loyal guard stopped.
"He won't do it, and neither will you." Alice glanced at Caius, she broke free from the Volturi guards' restraint, went straight to Aro and offered her hand.
"Bella will become a vampire, I saw it." At this time, Alice could only choose to expose her abilities in exchange for the safety of her friends and family.
"Alice." Edward softly called Alice's name with a guilty tone.
If I had listened to Nora's words and hadn't left Fox, if I had been more careful to confirm Bella's safety, wouldn't all of this have happened?
"Ha, the ability to predict, what a precious and rare ability! The Karen family is full of talents." Aro glanced at Alice and Nora with admiring and crazy eyes, and he was thinking about how to get such an ability.But his jealousy was quickly replaced by shock, and his expression changed from surprise to surprise.
Ah Luo's smile froze on his face, and he watched Alice withdraw her hand in a daze.His red eyes flicked past Nora who was wearing a hat, and then turned to look at Caius, showing the same complicated expression as Marcus.
"Caius, if you see her, will you still let Felix do it?" Alice walked to Nora's side and lifted Nora's hat.Nora's blond hair fell freely behind her, free from the cap's restraint.
Nora's small face looked very nervous. Although she believed that Alice would not harm her, she did not expect that she would be so direct, exposing herself to the public without any preparation.
"Don't be afraid, I see you will return to Forks." Alice pulled Bella and Nora up from the ground, and whispered to Nora.
"Ahinodora?"
The arrogance and indifference disappeared from Caius' face. He looked at that flustered face and remembered how he was when he first met Ahinodora. She looked like a deer lost in the forest. His demeanor was exactly the same as that of Ahinodora.Even though he knew that the vampire had no chance of surviving after being burned to death, Caius couldn't help being in a trance when he faced this face.
Caius walked slowly towards Nora step by step, and his shiny black leather shoes made a crisp tapping sound on the stone floor tiles.Bella, who was standing behind Nora, was pulled aside by Alice, and helped Edward who fell to the ground.
No one in the hall dared to speak.
Nora was alone and helpless at this time. She wanted to summon vines to protect herself, but she had to succumb to Caius' sense of oppression.She didn't dare to move at will, but had no choice but to lower her head and feel that this unbelievably beautiful man was constantly approaching her.
Caius had already come in front of Nora. The distance between them was only two fists. To outsiders, their posture seemed ambiguous and intimate.Nora was wearing the jacket that Felix brought, revealing the suspender skirt inside, and the skirt was still stained with dried blood.
Nora was surrounded by a blood-smelling cold air, she watched Caius raised his hand and caressed her cheek rudely.But she didn't make any resistance movements, her body seemed to have been used to such touching for a long time.
"Why are you crying?" Caius' deep voice came from above his head.
Nora touched the corners of her eyes inexplicably, her fingers were stained with red liquid.Blood-red tears overflowed from her gray-blue eyes, and slid down her cheeks all the way to her chin.
She quickly looked up at Caius's face, his face was no longer as cold as before, but showed a little childlike confusion, and there was emotion in the red eyes that she could not understand.
Nora didn't answer his question, she just looked at Caius carefully.His face is thinner than it looks in the portrait, obviously he is the youngest of the three, but now he looks even more vicissitudes than Ah Luo.
"You haven't answered me yet, why are you crying?" Caius slightly increased his voice, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction and almost inaudible complaints in his cold voice, but Nora didn't know how to answer this question.
She didn't understand why she was crying, she didn't understand why she felt so sad, and she didn't understand how important this man was to her.She was like a kid who sneaked out to play and got caught by the parents next door.
Can't argue with a hundred mouths, don't know why.
Caius was no longer obsessed with this question, he smelled the bloody tears in his palm, his expression mixed with joy or sadness.He stared at Nora's gray-blue eyes, grasped the ring necklace on his chest, and looked at Nora's strange eyes with anger in his heart, but he was not willing to get angry at her.
Caius moved closer to Nora's face, his cold nose brushed against Nora's cheek, and his flexible and moist tongue licked the tears on Nora's face.In the next second, he hugged Nora, who was stiff all over.
"You've lost weight." Caius seemed to be sighing, his voice was full of distress and satisfaction.He put his face on the top of Ahinodora's head, and gently reproached: "I'll just tell you that you can't leave me. You see, you won't even be able to eat well if you leave me."
Nora was a little attached to Caius' embrace, and she buried her head in Caius's embrace, listening to what was almost a whisper between lovers.She felt a little sad and shy in her heart, she didn't know what happened to this man, but she was sure that there should be some kind of intimate connection between them, but she herself didn't remember anything related to him at all.
Caius held Nora's face in his hands, looked at those heartless eyes without fear, and uttered a sentence:
"I won't let you run away from me again."
