twilight passion

"Before I met Father Julian, I was... very different from now."

The temperature in Germany in July and August is around [-] degrees Celsius, giving people a very comfortable feeling.In the night when the night wind was rising, Samuel and Edward lay together on the big bed in the hotel.The big bed faces a floor-to-ceiling window.The hotel is built on the hill.Therefore, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the wonderful scenery of mountain forests and lakes, and you can even see the towering Gothic church in the distance.

Lying on the body of his vampire lover in summer is undoubtedly a very indulgent enjoyment for Samuel, whose body temperature is already a bit cold.

So he rested his head on Edward's arm, closed his eyes gently, and recalled what he was like two years ago.

"At that time... the guys living in my body said that I looked very flamboyant and wild at that time. From time to time, my whole body exudes a flowing, sometimes violent... which makes them feel delicious Magical energy. At that time, I... considered myself more a spirit than a human, and I didn't like communicating with humans.

If I can control my power freely and completely control those powers, then... as long as I like it, this state may be nothing.But from a certain point on, those mysterious and beautiful powers... It began to grow rapidly, making it impossible for me to control it as freely as before. "

Samuel spoke softly, and he tilted his neck to feel the soft touch of Edward's fingers lingering in his soft hair.Although his vampire lover just listened and didn't make a sound, he could feel it...Edward was listening to him very seriously.

"As my power grew day by day, I couldn't control it... I even felt a restlessness from the depths of my soul. It made me fear, and it made me look forward to...

I had no idea what that meant.But what Father Julian said woke me up.He said...'No matter what, you should suppress that extraordinary power.Let it slowly become restrained from the outside.Otherwise, your soul will be stimulated by that power to yearn to leave your body and go to a wider space that will not be bound by it. '

It was only then that I realized... the restlessness that made me fearful and expectant... was the feeling that the soul was trying to break free from the body. "

When he said this sentence, Samuel felt Edward's unconscious aggravation... the strength of holding his hand.Although it made him feel a little pain, he didn't cry out, or let Edward let him go.

Samuel turned around, opened his eyes, and met a pair of panicked... golden eyes.So he propped himself up, put his hand on Edward's shoulder and kissed his eyes.

"There is no need to be afraid. Now... such a thing will never happen."

"you promise?"

"I promise. You can feel the answer."

Said, Samuel looked pointedly at the sapphire ring Edward wore on his left ring finger.If you stare at it carefully, you will find... from the wonderful dark blue, occasionally there will be a trace of magical purple...

Listening to what Samuel said, Edward closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while, then let out a breath, propped up his body, kissed his lover's lips, and the two of them leaned against the wooden European classical bedside, continuing to share Listen and tell.

"Father Julian's advice frightened me. And because the cross he gave me can help me keep those guys from rushing out of my body under my own will, I finally Hands are free to sort through the ever-growing powers.

By the time we got to know each other, I think I've managed to control all the forces that have been trying to rush out.That state made me more able to calm down.In fact, it even changed my personality somewhat.But... when my emotions have violent ups and downs, you may still be able to find the shadow of that time in me.Dangerous, flamboyant. "

"No matter what, I only know that the person I like is you, and the person who fascinates me is only Samuel Cervantes. No matter what you become, I will follow my heart."

After listening quietly for a long time, Edward turned his head to look at Samuel, held Samuel's with the hand wearing the ring, and interlocked his fingers.

"Perhaps, I need to express my gratitude to Father Julian in person. It is because of him that my lover has not left his body before meeting me. He guides you and transforms you into a ... a safer state."

Hearing Edward's words, Samuel couldn't help laughing out loud. He leaned sideways, propped his head on his elbows, and looked at Edward with undisguised...fascinated eyes, watching My... the vampire lover who was leaning against the head of the bed and sitting up at this time.

Feeling that gaze, Edward leaned down again and kissed Samuel's enchanted eyes.When the night wind blew into the room facing the lake and the Gothic church, Samuel propped up his body after a long silence, and turned over and sat on his abdomen under Edward's surprised gaze.

That posture... made Edward feel like his blood was swelled.It made him want to do something to his lover on this glamorous evening.However... Samuel looked at him with extremely serious eyes, but Edward stopped his movements.

"Promise me. Promise me not to put yourself in danger just to help Father Julian. If I have to make a cruel choice. I hope...you won't lose your life because you want to repay his kindness for me. I I know it's a very selfish choice, but that's what I really think about."

Samuel looked down at his lover, with black hair hanging on his forehead, giving Samuel an abstinent beauty.He spoke such words so calmly, as if he understood... what kind of danger Father Julian encountered.And Edward, his vampire lover, is in such a crisis that it is difficult to escape in order to protect Father Julian from escaping.

He didn't want Edward to be in danger that could almost endanger his life because of the favor he owed.An instinctive premonition told Carlisle after Edward pretended to be relaxed on the phone... what kind of trouble Father Julian encountered.A problem so big...even the Karen family of the vampire family couldn't solve it easily.

Although he had never seen what a dead vampire looked like, he sincerely did not want to see his lover appear in front of him in such a state.

Under that serious, almost serious gaze, Edward breathed out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's really... I can't hide anything from you, my Samuel."

Said, Edward's childish Samuel's hand, gently kissed the back of his hand, and talked to Samuel about the ancient vampire family living in Italy.

"The Volturi are a family. They have existed for more than 1000 years, and they can be said to be the royal family in the world of vampires. Carlisle lived with them for a while in the early years. Remember that oil painting in Carlisle's room .That was before he came to live in America."

Edward did not deliberately change the postures of Samuel and himself at this time.He hugged Samuel's waist like this, and looked up at his lover.Hearing what Edward said, Samuel closed his eyes and nodded after recalling for a moment.

Almost no need for Edward to describe it further, that lifelike picture has already jumped into Samuel's mind.Edward had shown Samuel the room of his father, Carlisle.It was a room as special as Edward's room.The walls of the room are covered with paintings depicting his personal history, showing everything Carlisle has been through since he was transformed into a vampire until now.

And the most special of those oil paintings...is the one depicting Carlyle's time in Italy.

Samuel remembered that there were four male vampires with a strong sense of presence in the oil painting.Each of them has a face as delicate as a seraph.However, Samuel was able to see their spiritual consciousness related to darkness from the delicate faces like angels, so that Samuel could no longer get the painting out of his mind just by looking at it. erase.

However, this was the first time Edward mentioned the three old friends of Carlyle to Samuel.

"They make the laws in the vampire world and have the right to punish those who violate them."

"So... Father Julian provoked them?"

"I think so. From Father Julian's memory, I can read that... he inadvertently knew the secret of Mascu, the three elders of the Volturi."

Speaking of this, Edward revealed a hint of humor in his tone of speech: "There is an ancient legend in the Italian city of Votra. According to legend...a Christian missionary, Father Mascu of the Volturi family One thousand and five hundred years ago, all the vampires were expelled from the city of Votra. It is also said that Father Mascu died in the process of expelling vampires in Romania."

Having said that, Edward stopped and looked at Samuel with a smile, only to see a helpless mocking smile on his face.

"So, you're saying... Father Julian accidentally discovered that Mascu was not a Christian missionary who expelled vampires at all, and he didn't die in Romania at all, he is alive and well now, even... Yuri Father Ann discovered that Mascu himself is actually a vampire with more power than other vampires... a long-lived vampire?"
