[Twilight] Bright sunshine

I like the Volturi library very much. When my spirit starts to be quiet, the old-fashioned elegance accumulated over the years, on the horizontal bookshelves, permeates coldly and thickly.

Caius was used to seeing everything here, and his speed of flipping through books was beyond the limit of human sight.He was looking for something and didn't have time to look at me, so he threw me next to a large bookshelf.There was a long table with chairs of the same style, and he threw me a quill to practice the alphabetic words he had taught.

From the beginning of trembling and drawing ghosts on the paper, I later wandered in a daze.

The wind quietly blows in through the old stone windows, enveloping bright sunlight.Caius did not avoid these transparent lights, his steps were light, with a certain rhythm.When his fingers quickly brushed over those books, he could see icy light spots floating on his fingertips, and the color of the sun could stain any naked|exposed part of his body, clear and clean.

I'm not used to holding a quill pen, and if I don't grasp the strength well, the strokes are crooked and crooked.When I found out, I was already drawing cartoons on paper.Caius seemed to have no time to check my homework. I was like a lazy student doing small movements in class. With a little embarrassment, I used the nib dipped in ink to draw a picture of a small figure with bumps and crooked distortions.

I drew an egg with a pointed chin, and then started to draw hair on the egg. Well, the hair is half-length and not short, and I like to comb it back like an old man.He has a pair of sharp eyes, and when he is not smiling, everyone owes him 80 to shoot knives.His nose was also good, fine and straight.Especially his lips are so beautiful and vicious. When he smiles, he is vicious and vicious, showing a mouthful of white teeth like a predatory beast.

As he was drawing and drawing, even the simplified cartoons couldn't save the hideous and terrifying image of this person.I reluctantly bit the end of the quill pen, dipped in the ink again, and drew a few strands of cat whiskers on the egg-shaped face with a pointed chin, then painted a blush along the underside of his eyes, and finally drew a big bow to wear on his clean hair .

I considered whether to shave off his pointed chin, so that there is a fresh Hello Kitty out of the oven.

Caius pulled out a thick and old book with a black cover from the top of a bookshelf.He flicked the fine dust off of it, then walked over to me.I immediately nervously pulled out another piece of white paper to cover the cartoon, pretending to be serious and drawing ghost characters on it.

It seemed that he was very busy, and the speed of turning pages began to slow down.His eyes were bright and piercing, and he looked down at the book, occasionally reading aloud in another language that wasn't Italian.

The voice is deep and melodious.

Caius seemed to be looking for a secret hidden in the book, and he found it, for he threw the book angrily on the table, and there was a loud sound from the impact of the back of the book.The emotion revealed in his bright red eyes was suddenly extremely pungent, and his face turned away from the sun was pale and fierce in the dark light and shadow.

I moved my position carefully, trying to make him ignore me.

"Damn Carlisle." Caius narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong killing intent permeated around him. "Even to find this kind of thing, he is really omnipotent. Is this sinister intention to challenge the Volturi?"

I saw him clenched his fists, protruding knuckles aggressively expressing his violent thoughts.

Carlisle?I don't think this name should appear so abruptly in Caius' mouth, at least not in the inexplicable situation in front of him.Had Carlisle done something to piss off the Volturi?I shouldn't be presumptuous enough to think that the Cullens would defy the authority of their world for my sake.

No, I can't look at the quill in my hand, why do I feel that it is impossible for Carlisle to do nothing and let me stay in the Volturi.

His kindness will torture him day and night, although I think the most correct way is that he'd better not do anything for me.

Otherwise, wild animals will bite him to death.

"Does he think he can get what he wants just by relying on this rule full of loopholes?" The beast walked back and forth irritably, circling around me, looking like he wanted to drag Carlisle out and whip his corpse.

I looked at Caius, the doubts were getting stronger and stronger, and I remembered what Jane said in the morning.The guest, is it Carlisle?This is not good news, really not, I feel my heart start to warm because of this news, and the warmth can't stop.I couldn't help jumping up and running out, it would be such a joy to see Carlisle.

Caius appeared next to me in an instant, and his cold palm pressed my trembling shoulders.Staring at me intently, he brought back the gloomy pressure.

"It seems that you like Karen very much, Claire." The strength in Caius' hands can easily push me down on the table. As long as he is willing, I really have no resistance in the face of absolute strength.

I hesitated for a few seconds, and finally I couldn't escape without conscience, even if the answer would anger this guy. "He is...my friend." This sentence reminded me of Alice. Their family is a model of good vampires. I shouldn't deny them just because there is a cruel and unappreciable existence like Volturi. .

"Friend?" Caius turned cold, and he repeated my words, as if every letter was hard for him to swallow, so he could only take it out with his fingers in pain, bloody and vicious. "Huh, friend, you actually admit that this kind of guy, the monster without temperature is your friend. You are so generous, I thought you hated us very much."

Caius laughed coldly, the center of his pupils began to turn black, the strong smell of blood roiled inside, negative and ruthless desires controlled his thoughts again.

I don't want to get along with him like this at all. Caius like this is full of sharp fangs and cannot be refuted.

"If you have a little affection for us, why refuse to change, immortality is not the sweetest for human beings..." Caius smiled softly, his smile was definitely not gentle and amiable.His hands slipped easily into my thick hair and rested on the back of my neck, forcing me to look up at him inescapably.

Our contact is always so intimate and dangerous as to be uncomfortable for those who are afraid of the cold.

"Poisoned wine." Caius' breath was as cold and venomous as the lines in his mouth.

But my body is strange, and I didn't overreact at all to his dangerous approach.It was a particularly irrational feeling, like knowing Caius couldn't really hurt me.

He's a vampire, a cruel vampire.My brain told itself so, but my body didn't even shudder, the cold of his proximity couldn't make me shudder.

Should I try to organize my weak and ignorant language, and convince him that he doesn't want to change into a non-human, not just because of immortality or other reasons.I think Carlisle and Edward probably understand how I feel, but I have no chance of convincing Caius.

"Maybe I should follow Ah Luo's words and let you change as soon as possible." Caius had a self-contradictory fierce struggle on his face, he hesitated, and dangerous eagerness was hidden in his clear and sharp eyes.

Something is threatening him, turning my attitude, which was not in a hurry, into an imminent task.

My breath has a warm vitality, and his smell is two extreme feelings.The sun was moving, and it seemed to light Caius's clothes, his white profile, my hair without seeming threatening.

"I'm human." I tried to convince him, very quietly, wary of fearing he'd go into a rage.But I still try to communicate with him, I am human, Caius.

I never think immortality is such a cool thing, it's just something in movies or novels.My life's bizarre encounters have been spent on my rebirth, and I no longer have any endearing curiosity about any psychic events or alternative encounters, nor have I aspired to be anything other than human.

I never felt that vampires are much better than humans. I'm too clumsy to say it in precise words.It may be because I have been withdrawn from me for too long, and my often silent personality has been dragged down. When it comes to critical times, I can't talk about my true thoughts.

Caius looked very dissatisfied with my answer. I should have known that this arrogant and cold guy looked down on soft humans.

I squinted uncomfortably, the light from the window stimulated me a bit, my eyes were full of Caius' face and the flickering light.

Caius quickly discovered my anomaly, he loosened the restraint on me, put his hands around my waist and easily put me on the table, where the sun has not yet penetrated.The table is relatively high, just enough to be at eye level with him when I sit.

"If someone transforms you and deprives you of your human identity, you will fly into a rage and let the flames of hatred occupy your heart..." Caius hesitated. He seemed to think that this kind of topic suited his personality at all. It would lower his incomparably noble airs, which made him very uncomfortable, and his breathing became heavy. "Would you hate someone who made you change, Claire."

I fell silent, the issue is complicated, and anything that reaches the point of hatred always ends in tragedy.Caius seemed very attached to this answer. I was afraid that what I said would not be what he wanted, but I couldn't make up a lie that would satisfy him.

"I don't know, Caius." It must be bad luck not to be able to imagine what it would be like to be burned with hatred for eternity.

Caius frowned and pursed his lips. He couldn't understand my answer at all.

"I probably wouldn't want to meet the guy who forcibly turned me into a vampire against my will." Hate is another thing, and I don't have the intensity to imagine that now.The only thing I can be sure of is that the person who bit me must be the one I don't like the most. "It's best never to see him, including his relatives and friends."

Forever is an impossibly long word, and I think Caius would know the difference better than I do about the depth of time.

Live too long and it will fester and rust, and while Caius still looks alive, there's no guarantee he'll go mad one day.Even a "young man" like Edward, who is in his [-]s, can look very tired sometimes.

Even they don't know how that feeling of exhaustion comes from, maybe that is one of the prices that should be paid for eternal life.

"Ever?" Caius repeated my words seriously. "You will never forgive the one who converted you, and never appear in front of him again."

The lines of his face were inexplicable and showed a cruel tension, which made his expression very gloomy, very... sad?

I became sad, but I didn't know what I was sad about.Then he said softly: "I don't know, when I can live forever, what is the meaning of my life, and even, what should I live for."

The idea might be weird, but it just popped into my head.My dreams are all based on the fact that I am a human being. If one day I am no longer a human being, then what should I look for as a support point for my life.

If I am no longer a human being, is it necessary to realize all my wishes about human beings?

"That is to say, if you are no longer a human being, you don't plan to live?" Caius finally couldn't bear it and asked sharply. He thought it was unreasonable for me to have such a thought.

There is a fundamental difference between not finding a point of support for living and not intending to live.I realized that Caius had misunderstood the meaning of my words, but he had not given me a chance to explain. He angrily picked up the book that was slapped on the table, and tore it open. Those thick pieces of paper Become a vulnerable snowflake, and become Caius' vent when he is angry. "Does Carlisle think he can take you away? That ugly clown dares to come out and kill himself if he doesn't stay in a dark corner."

Carlisle is very handsome, probably not to the point where he will kill himself as soon as he appears.I think back to the work of conscience in the medical world, the non-human doctor who was welcomed as soon as he appeared, and was regarded as a lucky star wherever he went.

And speaking of temper, Caius couldn't compare with him at all.The rotten metaphors of angels and demons are not enough to show the difference in personality between them.

If I can meet Carlisle, I will have a good dream tonight.

Caius glanced over to the bookshelf, and said coldly, "Tell Ah Luo, I will take Claire there."

Dmitry floated out like a ghost from behind the bookshelf.His eyes rolled a few times restlessly, then he nodded silently and left again.

He must be very gossip, I watched silently as Dmitri disappeared, sure that guy liked to watch me and Caius fight tit for tat.

Caius didn't know what he was thinking, he returned to that suspicious and cold character.He grabbed my hand as tightly as shackles.He tried to relax the corners of his mouth into a gentle smile that didn't match his cold eyes at all.

"Claire, immortality is not as scary as you imagined. If you understand it from another perspective, you will become extremely powerful. You can do anything you want, without the risk of disease and old age. Your memory will be stronger than anyone else's." Awesome, your speed can travel to every corner of this world. It sounds like it doesn’t scare you at all.” Caius didn’t know why, he had been trying to get me to accept the voluntary transformation.

I thought about it for a while, and found that Caius was at least much easier to talk to than Aro, because Aro would just jump straight at me and bite me without giving me any chance to resist.What's the reason for this? He also protected me, but it doesn't mean that he protects me just because I'm afraid of him.

I averted my eyes and bit my lip in silent defiance.Caius was on the verge of breaking the bones of my hand.He hates others disobeying him, and even more hates others rejecting him.

"In your eyes, we are all a group of monsters, that's why you are so repulsive and disgusted that you will become one of them." Caius said with self-deprecation, he didn't get angry, and tired emotions slipped through his eyes.

I looked at him incredulously, wondering what had hit him so hard. Could it be that my refusal to be a vampire made him so sad?

But I don't think I have such great power to influence him. I think I'm just like a pet rabbit in their eyes.

The wind and sunlight in the library are still entangled, just like the atmosphere between me and Caius.Before he cut off my wrist, he finally remembered that he still had something to do.He picked me up from the table, I thought he would let me walk down by myself, it seems that my speed is really too slow.

We passed through the tunnel, and the time in the dark became very long and difficult.The sound of Caius' breathing seemed to grab my heartbeat, and there was a layer of hazy white mist in his red eyes, and something would burst out through his pupils at any time.

Sometimes it is really hard for me to understand what he is thinking.

Caius came to the front hall and threw me to Jaina.Ordered: "Change her clothes."

Gianna quickly took over from me, knowing any orders from Caius, and came over on her high heels and greeted me in sweet Italian, "Hello, Claire."

I responded somewhat awkwardly in the same language, "Hello."

Jaina took my hand and led me to the changing room. I saw Caius standing under the dim light, his eyes had a kind of beastly look, looking at me fiercely.

I didn't dare to look at him, and quickly followed Jaina's footsteps. In Volturi, staying with Jaina is the most secure time.

Jaina gave me a friendly smile, knowing my unease.

We entered the dressing room, Jaina opened the closet, and I sat on a chair as usual and looked at my shoes, unable to bear to look at the rows of Italian handmade.

"Did you quarrel?" Jaina suddenly turned her head and asked in a low voice.

Is that a quarrel?I thought about it seriously, and it didn't look like a quarrel, I didn't dare to quarrel with him.

"Actually, you can try to coax..." Jaina's voice was extremely low, as if a spy was following up with her superiors to report some secrets, she was cautious, she didn't dare to really say it in the end, she just pointed to the door with her finger outside. "Coax him, men are meant to be coaxed."

Jaina felt scared after she finished speaking, and she turned away excitedly and tremblingly, worried that the terrorist outside the door would hear such outrageous words.

How to coax?Uncle, calm down. I will beat and scold you without fighting back. What are you angry about?I thought of Caius's sad expression, it didn't suit that irritable guy at all, I was more used to him roaring like a Godzilla, breathing fire everywhere.

"The boss is Greek." Jaina suddenly lowered her voice again, and then she became excited. "I'll help you."

... I looked at Jaina's bright eyes, why can't I even keep up with the human brain circuit here, does Caius being a Greek have anything to do with helping me?

Jaina picked out a white gauze. She touched the gauze and checked it professionally. "You can't find the traditional costumes of ancient Greece in your closet now, but some of the clothes left by the designer for you have skirts with the same element style."

She came over and raised my chin in dissatisfaction. "Claire, you should learn how to be a woman."

I feel disgusted, but looking at Jaina's elegant demeanor and my virtue of being able to wear high-end clothes as street stalls, I think it's not without reason that people dislike me.

She was about to undress me when she came over, and I curled up shyly and nervously, resisting her terrible move.

"I won't eat you. You can't wear this kind of clothes by yourself, Claire." Jaina stretched out a hand with great strength to wipe out my resistance. She grabbed my hands and clasped them above the chair, and then another One hand quickly unbuttoned my clothes.

This kind of posture is not right, I hurriedly begged for mercy, "I can do this by myself, really, it's just a skirt, don't take it off..."

Jaina paid no heed to my resistance, one word from her froze me. "If you struggle again, the boss will come in."

She helped people dress very quickly, and the long white dress followed the curve of my body obediently.Gianna helped me button the white thin strap on one shoulder, and she said while arranging my skirt: "I used to be an assistant to a designer in Milan. Every time I help the model change clothes backstage, that is the time to test your skills. .”

I'm not used to this kind of dress, it looks like a very flowing dress, I've never worn such a long skirt.The white drape went all the way to the ankles, exposing the arms and shoulders. Jaina took out a beige knot sash and carefully wrapped it around the white gauze in the shape of a long tube. It was wrapped around my waist twice before tying it. stand up.

The white skirt was wrapped in layers of fine gauze, and I felt very unsafe. My legs felt empty when I walked, and the clothes looked like a cloud of white mist that would be blown away by a gust of wind at any time.

Jaina found this kind of clothes from nowhere, only the models on the runway are suitable for wearing them, and they will be surrounded by people as rare and exotic animals when they walk on the road.

"You should learn to make up, Claire, your skin is really good, you have to cherish it." Jaina pushed me back on the chair again, took out a makeup box from nowhere, she touched my face, I Unaccustomed to opening sideways. "It doesn't need to be very strong, just a little embellishment will do."

Jaina said to herself that she didn't need my opinion at all, and there was a kind of fanaticism in her eyes that only women can understand.

I could only quietly let her manipulate me, she gently dabbed the lipstick with her fingers, rubbed it lightly on my lips. "You look like a bride, although you are a little young." Jaina couldn't help laughing first, there is no mirror here, and I don't know what kind of monster I am being dressed as.

Tilting my head resignedly, I asked Gianna to help me gather my overlong hair as she braided it.

"You go out and smile at him, no man will be mad at you, you are so beautiful, Claire." Jaina pulled me up, and smoothly put the light blonde braids from behind me to my shoulders and down to my chest forward.

I don't think Caius can be so coaxing. Looking at his eyes just now, he wished he could kill me.

With my green bean dry and flat figure, do I still plan to learn from others' Xi Shi to remove color | Can't be lured?The thought made me shudder, it was horrible.

I was pushed out by Jaina and forgot to ask Caius why he wanted me to change.Caius was still standing there, and I touched my lips with my fingers uncomfortably. The color of the lipstick could not be removed, and the smell had a floral fragrance.

The skirt is too long, I can only lower my head and watch the road carefully, I don't want to rush to someone's feet with my head.

I looked up and found Caius staring at me blankly.I tried to pull out an unnatural smile, I didn't want him to see me grinning in such an outrageous costume.

He frowned and gasped heavily, as if startled by my smiling face.It made me dare not approach him, for fear of being thrown out by him to reflect on myself.

The strange thing is that Caius didn't rush over to scold me immediately, he just stood there, looking at me very restlessly.His breathing was heavy, and he couldn't help himself a little.

I turned my head and planned to turn around and change clothes. Seeing Caius's appearance, I obviously scared him.

Before I took a step, a cold hand clasped my wrist.Turning around, I found that it was Caius whose jaw was tightly stretched. When he saw me turn my head, he suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth unnaturally.

I was puzzled and said, "Caius?" His hands were trembling.

Caius took a deep breath, he was suppressing something, and bit his fingers very hard with his teeth.Then he said coldly: "Immorality."

I,...is it offensive to show two arms?What era are you from?

"It's ugly." He pursed his lips and commented harshly.

I,... just because of your sissy appearance, I have the nerve to despise others.

Angrily, she lifted most of the skirt with one hand, and the raised skirt was folded messily, exposing the calves underneath. Jaina also helped me tie a red rope around my ankle, saying it would bring good luck.I feel that meeting Caius is the greatest bad luck in my life, good luck even throws me a few blocks away.I strode forward, intending to ignore Caius and go change.As a result, the second step was the limit. The large tow bottle didn't move at all, even if it towed a mountain, it was not as heavy as his.

What the hell is going on with this guy?I gritted my teeth and lowered my head, trying to get my hand back and let go of your claws.

With a slight force from Caius, my efforts were wiped out.He slowly, little by little, dragged me back.I staggered two steps and hit his chest with the back of my head, almost like hitting a concrete floor.Resist the urge to cover your head with your hands, if I can't beat him, I want to show my teeth and claws.

I lowered my head again, looked at the skirt I was holding in my hand, and thought critically, maybe my immature figure is not suitable for such a fluffy dress, and the height of the airport or something is flawed.Caius was right, seeing me almost made him run away in fright.

Caius was still breathing heavily, and he didn't know what he was excited about.I finally turned my head to look at him, the braid was pressing on his chest and it hurt my scalp.Blinking my eyes, I found that I could only see his delicate and white chin. I lowered my head again in puzzlement, wondering why he was holding on to me.I moved my hand, and found that he had let go of my wrist. I quickly pulled it back, and just breathed a sigh of relief, and my sight disappeared instantly.

It was Caius who covered my eyes with his palm, and I couldn't react and let out a "huh".His other arm wrapped around my waist, holding me in his arms.Then he rested his chin on my shoulder, and the cold mint-like fragrance immediately surrounded me.

His reaction disturbed me, and I couldn't move and called him, "Cairus?"

The only answer he heard was his light breathing. He didn't know what he was hesitating for, and his unstable mood made his breathing messy.

Then I heard the sound of Jaina coming out, she fell down in embarrassment, and said with a trembling voice in fear: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Jaina's movements were very chaotic, as if she saw something horrible, and fear took over. Overwhelmed by her emotions, all I could hear was her stumbling into the changing room, closing the door and refusing to show up again.

Caius had such a terrifying expression that he frightened her like this.

I tried to break free from his embrace, and I had a terrible premonition that Caius seemed to be planning to do something.

"Don't move." There was a kind of cold depression in his voice, and even his breath was so cold that it was about to frost.

I fell silent as he kissed my jugular artery, the temperature of silence could freeze my blood.

"You will forever hate the person who converted you, won't you?"

Caius held my hand trembling, and his panting was so obvious when he spoke, I felt every tremor of his body in the dark.

I opened my mouth to say something, but my mind went blank.

This hug lasted for a long time, and Caius didn't intend to let go of me. He finally moved his lips away from my artery, and I almost went limp.His hand did not take away from my eyes, no light could get in.

Then I heard his other hand undoing something, and the rustle of the clothes followed his movement.Within a few seconds, he finally released his hands from my eyes, and I blinked vaguely, unaccustomed to the light at the moment.

A chill came from my neck. Caius was already standing in front of me, and he put a necklace on my neck.

It was the V-shaped pendant of the Volturi, on which the dark yellow luster flowed strangely.

Caius watched his necklace hang on me with a blank expression, as if it was a matter of course.

"It will protect you." Caius still had the madness left behind in his eyes, he pressed his fingers on my collarbone, and emphasized his tone like an oath. "Never, never take it off. It's yours, Claire."

He said it so seriously, I dare not perfunctory.The necklace became a cold and quiet weight on the neck, and it was also stained with the breath of Caius.The fierceness in his eyes returned to peace, and this kindness was like a soft flower, restraining all his sharp and exposed aura.

Caius stroked my hair with his firm hand, and some of the hair in the braid came out loosely. I looked at him silently, and the fear and hesitation hidden deep in my heart were calmed down by his movements for a moment.

I never thought that one day, one time, one second, our atmosphere of getting along would be so gentle.Without a trace of warmth, they looked at each other in the faint coldness.

He held my hand, his fingers clasped tightly between my fingers, and he couldn't break free. I was still shivering slightly in fear of the cold.

This skirt is really not suitable for this season. It is enough to wear it fresh once, and it is usually comfortable with a denim T-shirt.Caius quickly noticed that I shrank my neck timidly, and he turned his face in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Gianna."

The changing room opened quickly, and the elegant and beautiful receptionist's face was pale. She was holding a long white coat in her hand, and the material looked very warm.Under the indifferent eyes of Caius, Jaina quickly came to me, her hands were warm, with a little nervous dampness, and helped me put on the coat, covering the exposed arms and the necklace on the chest .I'm sure Jaina has a special feeling for this necklace. She stared at it for a long time, with a bright desire and want in her eyes.

I moved my sleeves uncomfortably, but she responded immediately, and without giving me time to tidy up my clothes, she reached out to help me fix my coat.

"That's it, Claire," Jaina whispered, stepping back to stand against the wall.

Caius didn't look at her, just came over and dragged me away.I turned around and saw Jaina's non-existent figure sticking to the darkness, about to disappear into nothingness, and would disappear into the ancient and cruel Volturi castle in a hurry at any moment.

"She's very nice," I said suddenly to Caius.

Caius couldn't immediately remember who I was evaluating. After he reacted, his disdain flashed for a moment, and he wanted to say something embarrassing.

I immediately changed the subject, "Who are we going to see?"

"A restless fool," said Caius viperly.

I shouldn't expect to hear even a nice word from him, even if it's a scene. In his eyes, except for the Volturi, there is no one who is not a fool.

"Can that necklace be taken off in the shower?" I asked a little shyly. It's not easy to never take it off. This thing looks like gold, but if it's not in place, it will fade and rust in the water .

"Never have such thoughts." Caius began to quicken his steps, his face was terribly gloomy.

I was dragged by him while holding the long skirt under the coat in one hand. We entered the tunnel, and the darkness spread silently behind us.

I always feel that forever is a very distant time.
