Twilight you are my light

This time Volturi's specific plan for Karen was only known to a very few people. Aro deliberately avoided Surbicia, and Caius rarely mentioned related matters in front of Ahinodora.

Caius was unwilling to speak, and Ahinodora would not ask.Perhaps deep in her heart she had been avoiding the coming confrontation, as if as long as she didn't mention it, it wouldn't happen.Or she knew that her participation would not change the situation in any way.

Ahinodora knew very clearly that the biggest reason behind this action was Aro's ambition and revenge from Caius.They would not let a powerful but disobedient family threaten Volturi's authority and status.With such motives, Ahinodora knew that the confrontation between the two sides was unavoidable no matter what.

As Hermes said, the Volturi are not always decent.Although it is considered the "royal family" of the vampire world, a "legal benchmark", all of this is based on the absolute strength of the Volturi.The Volturi are just a powerful family in the final analysis, and the family needs to continue to grow in order to maintain its pivotal influence and deterrent power.They are just cunningly using the trial as an excuse to eradicate dissidents and recruit talents.

Not only Irina and Karen Fang were waiting for the Volturi to act, Yahinodora was also constantly speculating when Aro and Caius were going to make a move.The waiting process was very painful, and Yahinodora didn't know what she could do to solve the Karen family's troubles without harming the interests of the Volturi.But after thinking about it, she found sadly that the Volturi and Karen already had irreconcilable conflicts.

She couldn't just watch the Karen family fall apart, and she couldn't do anything to betray the Volturi. Her reason always reminded her of her position.

She is one of the makers of the Volturi laws, a core member of the Volturi, and the wife of Caius.

This kind of pain put Ahinodora in a dilemma. Even though she kept telling herself to be cruel, she still had an indelible sense of guilt in her heart.

She knew that Karen's kindness to her was not selfish, but more for the family's self-protection.But it is undeniable that those good things are real, not to mention that Bella has saved her life...

Yahenodora was wandering in the corridors of the tower while distracted, and she realized that she had come to the former botanical garden.She opened the door and stood in the garden full of broken walls and looked around. The broken stone pillars and roofs have been repaired. The only thing she has to do is to deal with those wild weeds and bare plants, those rare plants The plants may have been burned to nothing in the fire.

She looked at the garden that was not as beautiful as before but had a different kind of vitality, and a trace of desolation that everything was right and wrong was crossed in her heart.

In fact, after Ahinodora regained her memory and returned to the Volturi, she didn't deal with the deserted plant garden much.The things she once regarded as treasures have been destroyed beyond recognition, and to restore the glory of the treasures needs to start from scratch. In this situation, anyone will feel tired.

Yahenodora looked helplessly at her ruined courtyard, and said helplessly, "Ahinodora, the more you live, the more you love to escape."

She sighed, walked around the courtyard a few times, and finally walked slowly towards the center of the courtyard.Ahinodora squinted his eyes and looked up at the glass roof of the courtyard. The weather outside the courtyard was just right, whether it was 60 years ago or now.She was bathed in the sun, and her whole body exuded a breathtaking brilliance.

Suddenly, Ahinodora was embraced from behind.But she had no intention of resisting, she just stood there and let the people behind her embrace her.

"Cairus, the weather is fine today."

When the visitor heard Ahinodora's words, he couldn't help but increase his strength around her.

"Honey, you remind me of bad memories like this."

In 1950, the Romanians' dying counterattack took Caius's joy for more than sixty years, his treasures, and the meaning of his life.Whenever Caius thought of that memory, he always felt close, so when he saw Ahinodora standing alone in the middle of the courtyard, that memory occupied his panicked brain.

"Why are you here today? I thought you were still carving those statues." Caius asked in a flat tone with his sharp chin resting on Ahinodora's head.

In fact, when he didn't find Ahinodora in the carving room, he started to panic.He searched around in the tower but failed, and then he came to the botanical garden with his last hope.He didn't come back to life until he hugged Ahinodora for real.

Caius did not expect Ahinodora to appear in the botanical garden at this point. She has been busy carving statues of the Twelve Gods of Olympus these days. She promised Hermes in the illusion .It's a pity that after she woke up from the illusion, there were so many things that she didn't stop. She didn't start this vast project with confidence until she sent Hillier on the plane to Asia.

"The carving is fast today, and all twelve have been carved."

Ahinodora grabbed Caius's arm and turned around, looking straight at her platinum lover.Caius had a sad look on his indifferent face at this time, and his light golden hair was a little messy, perhaps because he was in a hurry to find Ahinodora.

Ahinodora looked at Caius distressedly. His appearance has not been spoiled by the years, and the unruly and unruly youth can still be seen in him.She stretched out her hand and gently outlined Caius' three-dimensional facial features with her fingers, from the high brow bone to the erect nose, and finally landed on his thin lips.

"Caius, you said you would always be by my side, right?"

"Undoubtedly, until the end of the world, until I die."

Ahinodora put her arms around Caius' neck, and closed her eyes as if unwilling to imagine that terrible scene.After enjoying a period of peace, she reopened her eyes and said softly:

"I love you, Caius."

After saying this, Ahinodora felt her waist tightened, and her eyes were fixed on Caius without blinking.The person in front of her smiled softly at her, as dazzling as Apollo, the god of light.

"I love you too, Ahinodora, no matter what happens." Caius said and kissed Ahinodora gently, and he greedily sniffed the fragrance of Ahinodora's body. Can make him soberly feel the fragrance of being alive.

Yahenodora, who was embraced by Caius, quietly enjoyed this delicate and pure love. She tried her best to hide the struggle and trouble in her heart, but she didn't say the phrase "I'm afraid" after all.

Just leave everything to fate.

……

When the two Denali sisters followed Jane to Arrow's study, they hadn't imagined in any way that their meeting with the Volturi after hundreds of years would unfold in this way.Kate clutched her eldest sister Tanya's hand tightly, not daring to look back at Felix and Alec behind them.

A few days ago, they received Aro's personal letter, which was a letter inviting the Denali family to visit the Volturi.The wording in the letter is beautiful and warm, and the words outline a friendly and hospitable image of the host.But the Denali family understood the threat hidden behind this letter, just like the insidiousness and cruelty hidden behind Aro's kindness and friendship.

As old friends of the Karen family, the Denali family is a solid ally of the Karen family and a support that should not be underestimated.But what happened to the three Denali sisters hundreds of years ago made them hate and fear the Volturi. The reason why they agreed to be the witnesses of the Karen family was because Carlisle assured them that this time with the Volturi. The main purpose of the confrontation is to clarify that Renesme is not a bloodthirsty devil child, not to declare war on the Volturi.

Everything was well arranged, but Aro's letter made the Denali family hesitate.So they took the letter to Fox, hoping to work out a solution together.

"Tanya, this must be a trap." Edward said firmly after reading the letter. He was a little more stable as a new father, and he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"We all know this letter has bad intentions, but Kate and I have no way to ignore this letter." Tanya's golden eyes were full of apology to the Karen family, "I'm sorry that Irina has added to you. Trouble, but she's our sister anyway. We've lost our mother and brother, and now we don't want to lose another sister."

"Tanya, it was the Volturi who killed your mother." Carlisle calmly reminded Tanya and Kate, he hoped that they would give up the idea of ​​going to Volterra, "They will not let go easily Irina's, that is their biggest proof of confrontation with us."

"We just don't want to regret it."

Tanya and Kate glanced at each other, and then said to Carlisle: "We don't want to bring the rest of the family into Volturi, especially Eliza. The only ones involved in this meeting are Kate and I. See what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd."

"It's too dangerous. Ah Luo must have some kind of plot when he sees you guys at this time! Don't worry, we'll figure out what to do about Irina..."

"That's the best way." Kate said, taking a few steps towards Carlisle, "but if we don't come back before the confrontation, the rest of our family will continue to fulfill their duties as witnesses. And so will Tanya and I." Try to explain to Ro that this is the only thing we can do to help."

"Carlisle, we are sorry, please forgive Irina."

Carlisle looked at the Denali sisters with a complicated face, and his heart was full of worries for his old friend.Edward's feelings are relatively simple. He regrets that the departure of the Denali sisters has greatly weakened the strength of the Denali family.Compared with Carlisle who only pursued peaceful coexistence with the Volturi, Edward wanted to beat the Volturi to the pain in this confrontation.

"We're here." Jane gently pushed the door open, and walked to the side to give the passage to the Denali sisters. Aro and Caius had been waiting in the study for a long time.

When Tanya and Kate entered the study, they were surprised to find Arina standing aside.

"Arina!"

The two rushed towards Irina excitedly, the joy and excitement on their faces were beyond words, they didn't expect that Aro could let them see Irina so soon.Tanya kept whispering something to Erina, as if checking on her condition.Seeing that Irina had no worries about food and clothing during this period of time in Volturi, they were finally able to let go of their hanging hearts a little.

"What a touching reunion of the sisters, I like the happy ending the most." Ah Luo stood aside with a smile on his face, and thoughtfully gave enough time for the three sisters to hug and greet each other.

"Hello, Aro, Caius." Aro's voice brought Tanya and Kate back to their senses. Tanya kept her sisters behind her, and slapped Aro and Caius cautiously and reservedly. hello.

"Tanya, Kate, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Aro didn't care about Tanya's unfamiliar and alienated greeting, he glanced at the door, and said regretfully, "I thought Eliza would follow What a disappointment to get up and see us old friends."

Ah Luo's incomprehensible attitude made Tanya's alarm go off, but fortunately she had already prepared a reasonable excuse for it.

"Our family business needs Eliza, so he can't come this time." Tanya tried her best to look confident, but she still couldn't help but tense, "If Eliza knows that you care about him so much, I believe He will be very impressed."

"Eliza is a capable man, as I've known since he was a Volturi guard."

Ah Luo just smiled slightly when he heard Tanya's words, as he accepted the reason.Both he and Caius knew that Eliza and the rest of the Denali were probably discussing what to do with the Volturi at the Karen's house right now, but he didn't intend to expose it.

"I think we will have a chance to meet Eliza again in the near future." Caius added coolly from the side, his words directly made Sister Tanya pale, and the words full of hints and threats made her feel ashamed. The atmosphere became weird.

"...Ah Luo, Irina did something wrong unintentionally, the bloodthirsty devil child she reported was just a misunderstanding." Tanya hesitated again and again, but decided to go to A Luo under pressure, she knew everything No lie can fool Ah Luo.

"The Karen family came to our family territory, and they proved to us that the child Irina saw was not a bloodthirsty devil child, she is a half-human, half-vampire. But her appearance is too deceptive, It's no wonder that Irina got it wrong." Tanya slowly stretched her hand towards Ah Luo after saying this, trying to prove that what she said was true.

"Ah, that's really interesting." Aro stared at Tanya's hand in silence for a moment, then took it reluctantly.Both Aro and Caius were shocked and unhappy by the sudden news.

Caius has a deep research on half-human and half-vampires. When Ahinodora was pregnant with Hillier, he had deeply studied this race.There are very few records about the species of half-human, half-vampire, not only because such things are appalling, but also because of the low birth rate and survival rate of this species, many children will be burned to death as demon children after birth.

If what Tanya said was true, which was highly probable, then there would be no reason for their confrontation with the Karen family, which was unacceptable to both Arrow and Caius.

Ah Ro squinted through Tanya's memory, and he let go of Tanya's cold hand.Ah Luo thought back to the brown-haired girl with the face of an angel, and looked at Kate and Irina who were hiding far away with re-examination eyes.Erina's face became distorted because of Tanya's words, her eyes were full of shock and fear.

It may be that Ah Luo's eyes are too sharp and fierce, Kate can only tightly protect the panicked Irina beside her, not daring to make a sound.

"Half-human, half-vampire, such a species is really incredible."

Ah Luo withdrew his sharp eyes, his face softened, and he said softly to Tanya: "The secrets of our race need to be protected, Tanya. Humans have created weapons that can hurt us, and they are no longer Food that was allowed to be slaughtered by us hundreds of years ago. The greatest significance of the existence of the Volturi is to ensure that the vampire group will not be exposed to human vision by reckless people, which will lead to disaster."

Tanya frowned and listened to Ah Luo's emotional persuasion, and stared at what Ah Luo meant by what he said.

"Before the Karen family created 'non-vampire' creatures, they had repeatedly challenged the Volturi's bottom line. Whether it was falling in love with humans in an open identity, or trying to expose ourselves to death in front of countless humans, we all Because I gave Carlisle face, I gritted my teeth and endured it, just gave a warning. But this time..."

Ah Luo paused, looked at Tanya's surprised face, and continued righteously: "No one can guarantee that half-human, half-vampires will not reveal the secrets of our group like bloodthirsty devil children, but We have also decided not to tolerate the Cullen family's provocative behavior."

"No, Ro, they didn't mean to offend the Volturi," Tanya hurriedly defended Karen.

She could hear Ah Luo's decisive attitude. The Volturi had already charged Karen with the crime of plotting against others. It seemed that this time the Volturi would make the Karen family pay the price no matter what.

"I believe Carlisle doesn't mean that. You and I are old acquaintances of Carlisle, and everyone knows his character. But can you guarantee that other people in his family have no other thoughts?" Luo smiled and continued to induce Tan Niya, he looked at Tanya still hesitating, and thought it was time to use his trump card.

"Tanya, I thought you would support us in the trial of Karen—at least in a neutral position." Aro sighed pretendingly, and looked at Irina regretfully, "If Karen If the child in your family is not a bloodthirsty devil boy, your sister will be executed for lying about the information. I don’t think you want to lose your family anymore, right?”

"It's not like this, it's because Irina has never seen such a species before..."

"Irina swears with her life that what she said is true, and she is willing to use her life to avenge her partner." Ah Luo interrupted Tanya, and he looked gently at the shivering Arina, "The promise has been made, and now it's time to repay it."

Ah Luo's words hit Kate and Tanya directly. Kate's arms around Irina tightened, and Tanya rarely showed a look of panic.She thought of the tragic death of her mother and brother, and bursts of despair and anger filled her heart.

"You have already killed our relatives, and now you want to do it again? Irina just said what she saw, how could she expect the child of the Karen family to be half-human, half-vampire?!"

Kate lost her composure and yelled at Aro, she felt a little bit resentful for the Karen family's troubled affairs, and her excited appearance made the Volturi guards start to get nervous.

After learning that the child of the Karen family might not be a bloodthirsty devil child, Irina's face turned ashen. She knew that she might not escape death.She tugged on Kate's arm tightly to prevent her from bursting out suddenly.Her heart was full of fear and unwillingness. Even if she died, she wanted to bring the Karen family into trouble.

Compared to the terrified and sad-faced Denali sisters, the expressions of Aro and Caius were much calmer. They were secretly glad that their plan did indeed threaten them.

"Is that why you asked us to come? See our joke?" Tanya couldn't help but growl at Aro and Caius, "You hypocrites!"

"You say yes." Ah Luo was not irritated by Tanya's words, he sat back on the chair unhurriedly, raised his legs and said, "But I'm not vulgar enough to call people to see it." The degree of people's jokes, I let you come to give you a chance to make up for it."

"What do you mean?"

"The Volturi are willing to forgive wise men who have redeemed themselves."

A Luo's words were like a basin of cold water that chilled the Denali sisters. They had thought that A Luo would threaten them with Irina when the two sides confronted each other, but they never thought that A Luo would give them They have a chance to save Arina.But they don't understand exactly what Ah Luo wants them to do.

Caius looked at the Denali sisters who suddenly fell silent, and then Aro said: "The meaning is very simple, but let you choose between my sister and Karen."

Caius' words were much easier to understand, and even the unscrupulous Kate understood what Volturi meant.The Denali sisters could either help the Volturi win the war in exchange for Irina's immunity from capital crimes; or insist that Renee Smee is a bloodthirsty devil child, and let the Karen family accept the Volturi trial.

Tanya was stunned by the Volturi's unexpected choice, but she knew that no matter which way they chose, the Karen family would end badly.She looked back at the stupefied Irina and the bewildered Kate, and said to Ah Luo:

"We are not the only witnesses of the Karen family. No matter how much we point the deer as horses, they will find new witnesses."

"I want to see your attitude." Ah Luo said unhurriedly.

He didn't care what that child was at all, he just needed a reason to make the Karen family suffer and suppress the group of followers headed by the Karen family.

Seeing Ah Luo's unmoved appearance, Tanya could only grit her teeth and say, "We need a little time."

"Of course no problem, you have a long time to think. Before we go to Forks, we all welcome to hear your answers. Well, now the three of you sisters might as well go back to rest, I have asked the caring guard We have prepared a room for you, and hope everything is to your liking."

Arrow kindly sent the Denali sisters away. He looked very kind like a hospitable host, but the smile on his face collapsed as soon as they left.

"Caius, I don't like the development of this matter." Aro stared at the smooth texture of the desk, with a dark face for a long while before speaking.

"I don't like it either." Caius frowned, and complained in his tone with disgust and irritability that the plan had been disrupted: "A few days ago, Hillier sent a message to remind us to beware of werewolves, which caused me to send a message to the guard. Special training, I'm tired of all this nonsense."

"Thank you, my dear brother." Aro comforted Caius patiently. At this moment, he wanted to know more about the half-human, half-vampire. "What do you know about half-human, half-vampire?"

"If this race is not extremely rare, then it is extremely low-key. The closest document is also a hundred years old. Most of the sources of legends are in South America and Africa, especially those places where religion and voodoo are prevalent." Caius was reluctant He propped his face up and told Ah Luo.

After listening to Caius' popular science, Ah Luo suddenly asked, "If it were you, what would you do next?"

"While looking for allies to strengthen our strength, at the same time looking for witnesses to prove that the half-human, half-vampire is harmless. It would be great if we could find a living half-human, half-vampire." Caius said after a little thought A possible situation, but he immediately smiled maliciously: "If Karen finds enough people, maybe they really want to have a serious fight with us."

"It's not impossible." Ah Luo smiled when he heard this, but then he restrained his smile and lowered his eyes to think about something.

"What's the matter?" Caius looked curiously at Ah Luo who was suddenly silent.

"I'm recalling the memory of Tanya just now, and I always feel that something is wrong." Ah Luo tilted his head and recalled carefully, his black hair brushed his cheek with the shifted head.

Caius didn't bother Ah Luo who was deep in thought. He flipped through the documents on the table in a muffled voice. He knew that Ah Luo didn't like people disturbing his thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, Ah Luo suddenly switched out of the thinking mode.He stood up abruptly from his seat, with a faint look of anxiety on his face, even Caius was taken aback by him.

"Caius, contact Hillier immediately, and ask him to use his ability to deduce the location of Alice and the possible areas of all half-human and half-vampires." Aro's eyes shone with a strong fighting spirit, as well as clarity after an epiphany.

"Understood." Caius didn't hesitate, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and quickly sent Hillier a text message.

"Caius, your words reminded me that I knew something was wrong in that memory. All members of the Cullen family appeared, except Alice from the beginning to the end. But the Cullen family is so dependent on Alice ability, so guess what she did?" Aro asked Caius with a sneer, and he glanced at Caius with a gloomy face and knew that his brother had thought of the same thing.

"They escaped surveillance to find living evidence." Caius stared at the text message that had already been sent, thinking that luckily there was Hillier, which would save them a lot of effort.

"What are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Ah Luo walked towards the window, the sunlight outside was just right, but it couldn't shine into the haze in his heart.

The existence of Hillier made Ah Luo lose the last bit of affection for Alice. He turned his back to Caius and said ruthlessly, "Kill her."

The author has something to say: My old swan, I finally updated
