Caius easily hugged me and jumped up the huge redwood tree, the branches trembled, his posture was graceful like a seabird flying over various obstacles.Then I saw the Quileute River, a wide river that appeared in the middle of the redwood forest, rushing because of heavy rain, and the white spray was tumbling vigorously under the night.

They ran along the river, like cars, at forty miles and above, and my ears were filled with the sound of the river from the old days.It has been leaving me, like the day I came to Forks, it welcomed me with a brave gesture, and I heard its jubilation.

Now it's leaving me.

Forest, River, Fox, Charlie, and the Cullens are all backing away.

I silently grabbed Caius' black suit, opened my mouth to say something but was blocked by the wind and rain.Panic flowed in my nerves again, even though exhaustion had tortured me to the point where I was about to see the limit come.

It's a feeling of insecurity, like the sadness of seeing everything I know and love abandoning me.

Must... must stop, stop, I grabbed his clothes tightly, biting his hair so hard that it was bleeding from the bite, I was panting hard, stop quickly.I don't want to leave here, I don't want to leave Fox.

Don't leave Charlie, don't leave Jason and Emma's house and my CD.

The Quileut River is going away, the distant world makes me feel strange, it is not the place I should go.

Caius' arm holding me tightened suddenly, and I almost vomited blood from being strangled by him, and I lost my temper.Three black-clothed and black-faced non-humans stopped at the same time, and the rain surrounded them and me.

I opened my heavy eyelids and saw several figures coming out from behind the woods.It was so familiar that I wanted to cry, like meeting a savior.

"Caius, Jane, Demetrius." Carlisle's hair was a little disheveled, and he was still wearing a white coat, as if he had just rushed out of some operating room, trying to rescue the dying person.

Coming out slowly behind him were the Cullen family, Edward with a crack on his face, Alice and Jasper cuddling each other, Emmett and Rosalie standing on both sides of Carlisle, and Esme.

I simply don't know how to describe her expression, the clear yellow in her eyes is about to overflow, she looks at me as if she is about to cry.

It's like the kind and patient heartache of a mother looking at her child.I don't know what I've done to make Esme feel so bad.

"Carlisle." Caius looked at him indifferently, as if he was not surprised that the Karen family would stop him.

"Long time no see. I thought you were here to visit me." Carlisle represented the image of a big family, and he could calm down no matter how anxious he was. His standard American English made you feel like you were listening to a newscaster announce the news.

This is the territory of the Cullen family, and any inhuman intruder will pay for it--snap his neck, dismantle his limbs, tear him to pieces and burn him.

I looked helplessly at Carlisle, the savior, who invaded him and took people captive.

"I will come to visit you. If you commit a crime, I will lead the guards to visit you. Are you going to block my way now? Karen." He didn't even call his name, and Caius' attitude was so bad Makes you want to slap him a few times.His tone was impersonal, calm and cold.

Alice was expressionless, with a hint of impatience on her frowning brows, and she wanted to step forward.Jasper grabbed her arm briefly, preventing her from coming up.

Compared with the stupid Claire, his Alice is undoubtedly more important than anything.

Rosalie's eyes were very alert. She was wearing a tracksuit and a peaked cap. She stood next to Emmett as if she was about to rush out at any time.

This is a defensive reaction to the enemy, not at all friendly to accept someone as a guest.

"She's innocent, Caius. It's against the rules for you to take her away like this." Carlisle squeezed Esme's hand tightly, and he said with a sad face, trying to calm Esme down.

"Do you still know the rules? Before I asked you to settle the crime, you are planning to go down the road of destruction by yourself. Who will reveal your identity first?" Caius grinned grinningly, such a smile on such a delicate face Neither is good.Like a devil.

"Claire won't say it, it's not her fault." Carlisle's voice was a little high, and he still suppressed himself, trying not to cause violent conflicts.

What was he worrying about? Everyone, including Karen, stood still and couldn't move forward.

"It's not up to you. The master said that he misses you very much, but you will disappoint him very much." The girl——Jane said flatly.She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, like a flower blooming, but her tone was indifferent and arrogant, "You are not worthy of his concern, I will tell the master truthfully."

This haughty attitude was exactly the same as that of Caius.

"Jane." Carlisle's tone became urgent, "At least, at least you have to deal with her wound first, let me do it."

Jane turned her head to look at Caius as if inquiring. It seemed that this kind of question should be decided by him.

Caius hugged me tightly again, as if he was worried that something would be snatched away.He didn't look at me, his eyes were hollow and thin, and his whole person was even more mean.Something seemed to be burning in his eyes, like the light of a flame, but his tone was without any emotion, and he said coldly: "Shut up, you should get out of the way, Karen." He didn't seem to believe the Karen family at all, including Carlisle .

Esme shook her head and wanted to go forward, but Edward quickly stopped her, looked at Caius indifferently, and then whispered something in her ear.Esme looked at me sadly, but relaxed.It seemed that Edward had heard something that could comfort Esme.

My vision was darkened, and I stared blankly at the tense scene in front of me.

What made the Karen family so scrupled and familiar, I took a deep breath, and my trachea painfully endured the tension of my lack of oxygen.

Really a vampire cop?

No one told me that the law enforcers of the vampire world seem so unreasonable.

"Do you want to change Claire, Caius?" Carlisle looked at him seriously and asked, this question made the Karen family look expressionless.

Caius seemed to feel that the seriousness of the Karen family made a lot of fuss. He softened his delicate voice, as kind and gentle as if he was asking his family members, "Do you think there is a better choice."

"It's not my choice. If you want to convert Claire, why suck out her venom in the library of the University of Washington, C." Carlisle finally shouted loudly, the pity in his kind nature made him nervous His face looked so brave and fearless.

Carlisle was saving me, and I found my eyes sore and tears welling up.I don't even know how I can get them to speak up for me, I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything for them.

"Immortality and death, Claire has the right to choose, and the laws of the Volturi cannot be shaken." Carlisle continued without retreating.

"Are you questioning the Volturi?" Jane felt offended, she took a step forward, her eyes were strange, and she looked at Carlisle slowly and long.

Caius didn't speak, he thought deeply and seemed to think of something.His expression is in a restrained calmness, it looks like a combination of patience and rage, what a contradiction.

Edward was a little nervous. He heard more than anyone else in the world.He felt malice, stopped in front of Carlisle, and met Jane's stern eyes without giving up.

"Transformation, or death." Caius's voice carried a coldness that permeated his bones, and he repeated, "Transformation, or death." The persistence of this questioning seemed morbid and powerful.

The rain was pouring like a feast, and the Quileut River watched us.

"I won't offend the Volturi. The Cullen family will never have such an idea." Carlisle pushed Edward away. He obviously didn't want his favorite adopted son to be used as a shield.

"You are too rude, Carlisle." Jane's eyes were bright red, cold and silent.She stood alone in front of Karen's house, inviolable.With his hands bent behind his back, Dmitry walked slowly behind Jane, stepping on the rainwater on the ground.

The passage of time brought a killing momentum, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed.

Caius was completely indifferent to this kind of scene, he seemed to be in the position of the winner all the time, and didn't pay much attention to the tense atmosphere.

The long black coat wrapped around me was completely soaked, and I didn't know if my feet were still bleeding, because I was held in someone's arms vigilantly, and the rain had already confused my judgment.

This embrace was too cold and cramped, I felt like I was lying in a marble coffin in a cemetery, and the premonition of death wasted all my warm and beautiful feelings.

Unable to move, unable to escape, unable to speak.

"Jane." Caius finally figured out what to say. He seemed to think that he had a chance to win.

The girl turned her head to look at him, and Dmitry followed her back step by step.

This scene is on my nerves, I think I must look bad now, I haven't called Charlie and told him I'm fine and everything is fine.

Low crime Fox, no murder Fox, I have to tell him, nothing happened, I'm going to bed, it's a safe day.

Someone call him for me, he will drive a police car and wander around Fox Town all night looking for me, he will rush on Highway [-], and he will run into the night forest to find the only daughter left by his sister.

"What about your choice, Claire."

The feast is like the voice of this man, and the ground is full of gorgeous wreckage.

I raised my head slowly, my sore neck supported my crumbling head, and finally what I saw was not Caius' unattainable jaw, but his eyes.

The eyes are red, viscous and cold.His tone was almost the same as that of his letter, familiar but a bit out of touch with this era. "Dear Claire, do you choose to switch or die."

I thought that my chaotic brain would not be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, but I understood it, so simple and direct, without even arousing a ripple of tension.

I thought I was so tired, the numb cold pain took away all my intense and delicate emotions.

Transformation, immortality, coldness, immutability, rigid body.

I still can't understand how they survived with such a low body temperature, and what is flowing in their blood vessels.

Can't eat anymore, runs faster than a car, like an albino.

Memories are terrifyingly tender, and the sunshine of my previous life has penetrated all the years of my rebirth.

Lying alone in a hospital bed waiting to die is so lonely.

A person's cold eternal life is too lonely.

Whether Alice saw this, she reminded me to choose in the forest.I looked at her, her face was clean in the rain, her eyes were so strange and sad.I couldn't read what she was trying to tell me, that I wasn't her dear best brother Edward.

"Caius, don't push her too hard." Esme spoke suddenly, her anxiety was real and urgent.

I turned my gaze back to Caius, and his eyes did not leave me.He finally looked at me normally once.He didn't know what he was looking at before, and sometimes he felt that he was looking at my clothes more than me.

There was a bright force in his eyes, as if the answer had already been written, just waiting for me to say it myself.

I don't know what the answer is, it's like I can't keep up with the speed of this group of people, and I can't even keep up with IQ.My silence seemed too long, everyone was waiting for my answer.

The clothes that wrap me are thick and heavy, and I can always vaguely smell the fresh smell of the person holding me. I think of the moss attached to the trees in the forest, or the roses that are scattered at any time in the rainy night flower.Cold and fragrant.

"I don't want to..." Memories came flooding back, the sun shining on my dying face, and that was the deepest, near-eternal death I've ever felt.

Forever is really too far away, and I can no longer bear that endless vulnerability.I finally shook my head, "I don't want to be converted."

The answer is death.

Caius' calmness seemed to be broken by me, he couldn't believe that I would disobey him.His strength in holding me was greater and heavier, wishing to strangle me to death in his arms without any enthusiasm.

He opened his mouth slightly, showing his teeth, in the posture of a wild beast hunting. "You want to die?" The words were close to an accusation, I'm guilty, he affirmed so violently.

"No, Claire, don't make up your mind so quickly, please." Esme broke down before anyone else, struggling to get out of Carlisle's arms, and she looked at me pleadingly.

I don't know that she likes me so much, why is she so sad for me?This is unbelievable. I'm just a passer-by who ate her two meals, and the first one was extremely painful. I don't matter at all, Esme.

"There will be other ways, calm down Esme." Carlisle reached out and stroked her neck, touched her forehead with his face, and tried his best to comfort his wife while breathing.

"You're not going to die, Claire." Alice finally shook off Jasper's hand very hard, walked up to me and said loudly, "I can see, you won't die." Spar drags her back again as Jane, feeling threatened, casts her gaze on Alice again.

"Caius, if you take Claire away, then you won't kill her." Edward finally seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and was able to say these words clearly.

These words carried Edward's unique tone mixed with subtle sarcasm, and he was so confident in every word he uttered.

It's a pity that this man didn't pay attention at all. He looked at me with burning eyes, the sticky and bloody focus of a predator in the dark.He seems to have been waiting for me to change my words, confessed my mistakes bitterly, told me that I was cowardly and afraid of death, and begged him to change.

I don't know why I want to laugh, it may be that things go against extremes, which is too abnormal.I just thought of C, that chubby self-aware weird guy who never gave up on any of my letters.

"Hi, C."

I slightly raised the corners of my mouth and gave him a friendly smile.

I have wanted to meet you since a long time ago, and I really want to say hello to you.

It's a pity, but you are a dead eye.

Really, really sad.

He froze for a moment, probably because my idiot's reaction was unexpected.Then he pursed his lips tightly, the anger in his eyes diluted, and the rain fell from under his eyes, like broken and hollow tears.

"Until I'm sure of her crime, the Volturi will not easily sentence anyone to life." Caius hugged me tighter, and I inevitably knocked my head on his chest , the black suit can't hide his body so hard that it bruises my forehead.

The Karen family looked at each other for a while, and their communication methods were full of tacit understanding.First Edward nodded, then Alice had no objection, and then they slowly retreated back into the woods to make way.

"I will visit the Volturi in the near future. I hope you will do what you say. Claire poses no threat to us. She is innocent." Carlisle once again seriously emphasized that they cannot fight against the power organs of the vampire world. I can only fight for the greatest chance of survival for me.

"Ah Luo will welcome you very much." Caius had already walked past their cordon, and began to move at a speed that seemed to be erratic like a ghost. His handsome face was submerged in darkness, and he was indescribably cold.

I heard the sound of the river leaving again, and my feet were dangling, unable to touch the emptiness of the land.

The strength of the fingers is unavoidably loosening. I feel that I am going to die, but I still refuse to let go of his clothes.I just muttered in a low voice, uncomfortable and confused: "I don't want to leave here, I don't want to, I don't want to. Will I die? Will I? Will I die..." This kind of fragmentary thoughts that are so fragile that they collapse are vague and angry, who do I think Can't even hear my voice.

"Shut up." Caius finally couldn't bear it anymore and said.

The author has something to say: nod.In fact, Caius is not likable at all, trying to grasp his character is really... exhausting.I covered my face in shame.Who am I writing this for.Oh my noble Volturi you were destroyed by my scumbag author
