Twilight you are my light

Conspiracy breeds darkness, and darkness devours light.Dawn does not necessarily represent hope after a catastrophe, it may also be the starting point of pain.

The night of Volterra is the quietest time of the day in this bustling town, and under the cover of the night, the vampire race silently sneaks in the streets and alleys, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Yahenodora was sitting in front of the dressing table, her long hair was coiled up in circles, and a little makeup had been applied to her pretty face.She looked at the woman in the mirror thoughtfully, picked out a lipstick and applied it on her full lips. The orange-pink lip color made her whole face beautiful.

The day of departure is today, to be precise, it should be at dawn.

Yahenodora got up and left the dressing table, the drapey black skirt brushed her calves lightly, and the red gold thread on the skirt rubbed against the slightly see-through stockings.Appropriate use of red weakens the dead and solemn dullness of the black dress, and the golden embellishment faintly reveals a touch of extravagance.

Such a well-designed and finely crafted skirt is nothing more than an ordinary skirt in her cloakroom.

Ahinodora took down the ironed and trimmed cloak from the hanger. She hadn't worn it for a long time. She sighed at the familiar touch, and suddenly felt a little The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Volturi never makes a shot easily, and once he makes a shot, he is sure to hit it.It is like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, a sudden bite can kill you.

The cloak that Caius had hung on the hanger was gone, and he left the room early to join Aro to make final preparations for the upcoming expedition.The time for this expedition was set suddenly, and it is not known whether they wanted to catch the Karen family by surprise, or the last pawn they deployed finally arrived.

Ahinodora gave a mocking chuckle, and she donned the cloak, the sapphire ring, the velvet gloves, and finally the Volturi crest necklace.The movements are skilled and done in one go.

It was almost dawn, and there was not much time left to gather.Yahinodora opened the drawer of the bedside table, and there was a mobile phone that hadn't been turned on for several months lying quietly in it. She looked at the extremely brand-new mobile phone because it was rarely used, and her eyes were dim.

This time the confrontation between the Volturi and the Karen family was beyond Yahinodora's control, and she was forced into an awkward position.She couldn't say goodbye to the Karen family decently, and now even leaving silently was a luxury.With this kind of result, she could only sigh with a wry smile.

The sky is getting brighter, which means that a new day is about to officially start.Ahinodora had made up his mind not to look back.After a moment of silence, she closed the drawer cruelly.She put on the non-slip Martin boots, resolutely opened the door and followed the guards who had been waiting outside the door to the assembly point.

The rendezvous was at the Volturi Hall, the place where Ditimi was reduced to a handful of ashes and Marcus suffered for centuries.Among the nearly a hundred rooms in the entire Volturi Palace, the Volturi Hall can be said to be Yashinodora's least favorite place.No matter how beautifully decorated and carved this place is, that ominous atmosphere still permeates every crack in the bricks of this hall.

Whether you like it or not, Ahinodora still has to go into the hall, and this time the guards who followed them from Volterra have gathered here.Each of them wore the cloak of a Volturi high guard, each embroidered with the Volturi crest and their respective names on the collar.

Ahinodora quietly stood beside Sulpicia, and they hid in the darkness in the corner and silently watched their men.Sulpicia lightly held Ahinodora's hand, she turned her face away and whispered to Ahinodora in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Men's game." Sulpicia mocked with a smile, she was very dissatisfied with this expedition.

"War is the most exciting game, and the pursuit of excitement is a man's instinct." Ahinodora looked at Caius' tall and straight figure and replied with a smile.

"Having said that, I really don't understand why they insist on starting a war. I mean, didn't the child of the Karen family have witnesses to prove that she is not a bloodthirsty devil child? Why bother to go through that." Sulpi Siya shook her head disapprovingly.

As the chief steward of the Volturi, in her opinion, the cost of this operation is completely disproportionate to the income.He didn't understand why Aro and Caius had to go to great lengths to interfere with a small family that was not to be feared, and now even the pretense of interference was almost untenable.Sulpicia is really worried that this war will end in a hasty way. Not only will they not get good benefits, but they will also lose their reputation.

"Because the Volturi have this ability, as long as we think, we will do it." Yahinodora patted Sulpicia's hand reassuringly, and she tried to make Sulpicia understand the meaning behind this action.

"It's because the opponent's current strength is still in its infancy. If we back down once, there will be a second time, a third time, until we finally have no way out. Sulpicia, we don't need a weak family, we need It’s a family that everyone respects.”

Listening to Ahinodora's words, a hint of thought appeared on Sulpicia's beautiful face.She followed Ahinodora's line of sight to the guards in the hall. These guards stood solemnly and solemnly in the hall, and the dignified expressions on their faces made these people look murderous.

But the fact is true, each of them has countless lives on their hands.There is no doubt about their loyalty to the Volturi. Following Aro's order, this group of experienced killers disappeared in the hall of the Volturi.

Sulpicia turned her head to look at Ahinodora, who was showing a bit of ruthlessness, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I think you are right, it seems that I have lived a comfortable life for too long."

"You just have a heart of gold." Ahinodora smiled and let go of Sulpicia's hand, and she noticed that Arlo's gaze was on them.

"This time, let's go out and relax, my dear sister."

As soon as the words fell, Sulpicia shook Ahinodora back, and she appeared beside Ah Luo in the next second.

Ahinodora stood alone in the corner, her thin figure looked a little pitiful.But she didn't feel lost or alone, because a man with platinum blonde hair came to her.

Caius looked particularly energetic today, exuding an air of confidence and arrogance all over his body.His almost black attire made him look inhuman and cruel. He seemed to have set up his whole body's defenses, and nothing could break through his thorny defense line and really hurt him.

But such a man who looked like a cold-blooded soldier smiled and held Yahinodora's velvet-gloved hand. His delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of affection and tenderness. He bent down and imprinted a coldness on her cheek. kiss.

"Beautiful lady, my love, let us go."

……

The time when Volterra welcomes the dawn is when Seattle welcomes the dusk. These two places where the day and night are reversed are very similar to the current opposing relationship between the Volturi and the Cullen family.

The Karen family received the news from the Volturi in advance, and they nervously hunted in batches before the big war to ensure that they were in the best condition.And their allies—the werewolf shapeshifters from the Quileut Reserve—had gathered a group of brave warriors early on.At this time, they are spending the last peaceful night with their respective families, recharging their energy and preparing for the battle after dawn.

Bella packed Renesme's luggage by herself. She skillfully stuffed all the pre-prepared packages into the pink suitcase, and then stuffed a lot of sundries into Renesme's little suitcase one after another. In his carry-on backpack, he looked as if he wanted to pack up everything in the room and let Renee Smee take it away.

After a while, Bella stopped and looked around, and she was a little relieved when she saw that it was almost cleaned up.She easily moved the 28-inch suitcase downstairs, entrusted it to Jacob downstairs, and ran back to Renesmee's room.

Renee Smee obediently sat on the bay window of the room and watched her mother's hurried figure. Her figure was already the size of a five or six-year-old child, but she was still ignorant of the world.

As a half-human, half-vampire, she has an extremely beautiful face, and in addition to that, she has a thick head of copper-colored hair.Instead of Hillier's red pupils, she had chocolate eyes, more Charlie's than Bella's.

"Honey, do you still remember the little adventure we agreed upon?" Bella squatted in front of Renesme, and she stretched out her hand to straighten Renesme's hair.

"I remember." Renesme nodded with puffed cheeks, her doll-like delicate face was not lost to Hillier when she was a child.

Renee Smee was a little uneasy seeing Bella's distressed face, but her favorite rabbit comfort doll had already been packed into the backpack by Bella.

"Good boy." Bella kissed Renee Smee's forehead affectionately, and she urged her daughter to change into her pajamas and lie down under the quilt.

"When the time comes, you will follow my command. When the time comes, you will follow Jacob and don't look back, okay? Let's pull the hook."

"Okay mom." Renee Smee complied sensiblely, and stretched out her little finger to hook Bella.

Renee Smee's innocence brought a faint smile to Bella's face, and Bella's eyes carried the unique love of a mother for her daughter.She stared almost greedily at Renesmee's tired little face, and refused to look away for a long time.

"Bella, can you come out?"

Suddenly, Edward appeared at the door. He enjoyed the warm atmosphere in the room, and the sadness in his heart was dispelled a lot.Bella glanced at Edward who was leaning on the door frame, turned her head to comfort Renesmee, and then walked out of the room.

"What's wrong?" Bella closed the door behind her, and she became nervous when she saw Edward's unpredictable expression.

"We have received a message from Alice." Edward was interrupted by Bella's excited words just as he spoke.

"Did she finally message? What did she say? Where is she now?" Bella was immediately lifted by the news, and her questions shot at Edward like Gatling.

"Wow, calm down, Bella."

Edward was a little confused by Bella's series of questions. He pressed Bella's shoulder dumbfoundedly, and said slowly: "She didn't say where they are now, she just said that she and Jasper found a A strong witness, the other party is also a half-human half-vampire. It's just that they were a step too late, and the witness was killed by others in advance."

"How could this happen...was it the Volturi who did it?" Bella was stunned, and her heart was chilled from the joy she had heard in the first half of Edward's sentence.

"I don't know about this, but I guess there is a high probability that the Volturi did it. After all, Tanya and the others are still missing. The Volturi are running a very strong force. Maybe they heard something from their side. The wind is blowing, so let’s do it first.” Edward shook his head and sighed softly.

"Then what should we do now? Without witnesses, our chances of winning are even lower. Is there still enough time for them to find a new one?" Bella roared in a low voice, trying her best to restrain her almost violent emotions.

Ever since she learned that the Volturi would bring an army to make trouble, Bella has been in a state of anxiety.The experience that she was "invited" to be a guest at the Volturi Palace because of Edward's murder incident still flashed before her eyes from time to time, but that was only a part of the brutal nature of the Volturi she saw.

"Even if we have Jacob's people to help us, if we lose, I..."

"The more this happens, the more stable we are." Edward patted Bella's back to make her relax, and he held Bella's hand tightly to pull her back from the brink of collapse.

"It's useless to think about it now. We can only do all the preparations we can, and then we can only listen to fate. Alice said that they are already rushing to the final battle with all their strength, hoping to make it before Volturi takes action." Yes. Once Jasper arrives, we will be stronger than we are now."

Bella didn't show a look of relief after hearing this, she closed her eyes for a while, and then murmured softly, as if convincing herself: "It doesn't matter, Renee Smee's passport has been processed, and everything is ready .As long as Jacob takes Renesme away when the time comes, our daughter will be able to go far away. As long as she can live healthy and safe, as long as she lives well..."

"Bella..." Edward called Bella's name distressedly. He didn't want Bella to lose confidence before the formal confrontation.

"Edward, I'm sorry, I brought your family to this point." Bella embraced Edward, and her heart was surrounded by a touch of despair at the moment.

"Don't be silly, you and Renee Smee are also members of the Cullen family now. Since we are a family, we should face difficulties together. The oath I once made to you is not lying to you, otherwise Charlie might It will kill me with one shot." Edward hugged Bella in his arms half-jokingly, and Bella was very touched by his thoughtfulness.

"At that time, I will use my special ability to protect you." Bella regained her courage and made a firm promise to Edward.

"I believe you."

The author has something to say: I am almost writing the final battle, and I have been writing this novel for almost seven months, time flies so fast

Not surprisingly, Bella should meet Ahinodora in the next chapter, right?
