I didn't know you were such a vampire

Maybe the only bed in the Volturi family is too comfortable, or maybe Qiaoya is too tired during this time. She slept for a long time, and when she wakes up in a daze, she intuited her biological clock every morning It seemed to be invalid, the muscles all over his body were relaxed like a soft cake that was melting, it seemed that he had slept for a long time.The curtain in front of the window blocked the light from the outside too tightly, making it difficult for her to tell whether it was day or night when she just sat up from the bed.

She got out of bed, walked directly to the window, and opened the curtain.

The sun can only linger on the window sill, but even so, it has already made her feel the enthusiasm of the noon sun in early autumn.

The human meal in Volturi Castle on this day is beef and vegetable soup, buttered bread and milk.

Vampires are not like humans who need to eat three meals a day at regular intervals. After they drink human blood once, they can go without food for several days. So this time, there are no glasses of human blood on the long dining table. The glassware containing steaming beef and vegetable soup and bread, as well as the butter lying on the ice in a beautiful posture, was still very lively yesterday, but today only Joya is left holding the tableware, drinking the soup while looking at the sitting Alec in front of her.

According to Alec, Arrow and Caius took Jane and Demetrius to go out for errands early this morning. Originally, they would take Alec with them every time they went out, but for some reason, Caius Si kept him.

"And let me accompany Ms. Joya the whole time." Alec said.

"Okay." Qiao Ya nodded, wiped some butter with a table knife, dipped it on the bread, raised her head again, and sighed when she saw that Alec was still staring straight at the food in her hand Tone, "Would you like some?"

Alec pursed his lips and shook his head: "This is Miss Joya's stuff..." He paused, "And I eat human food like chewing wood, but..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, Qiao Ya, who had brought up several younger siblings, could still see the look of hope in his eyes, and asked casually, "Do you remember the time when you were a human?"

Alec shook his head.

She couldn't help asking: "Is it because after becoming a vampire, you will forget the things you did when you were a human?"

"I don't know." Alec said honestly, "I don't remember, but Jane still has some impressions, and I don't know about others."

It seems that the memory is retained or is it random to watch people?Caius could tell his own experience as a human being as a story, and even left a few comic strips on the wall, but Alec didn't remember it at all.

Thinking of the two Totti family members who had just become newborn vampires, Joya's movement of spreading butter on the bread slowed down. She wondered if they could still remember her, and...

...that bloodthirsty devil child that she cared about a lot.

After she finished her lunch, she packed up the tableware by herself, Alec led the way, and walked towards the kitchen. They passed by the French windows of the castle facing the garden. Rose's sunshine suddenly thought of the chill in the quilt last night.

She casually asked Alec, "Is there anything particularly cold in the castle?"

Alec replied without thinking, "A vampire."

Joya: "..."

She recalled the vague dream when she was in a drowsy sleep. Someone climbed up her window and came to her bed. They seemed to have said a few words, although she couldn't remember the specific content, But she was still quite sure that it was Caius who broke into her dream.

Could it be... isn't she dreaming?

Qiao Ya really wanted to be like the kind of principal who caught a student's puppy love, directly grabbed Caius by the collar and asked him if he had sneaked into her bed, and she couldn't help patting him even thinking of Caius turning his head in a panic. The table laughed.However, Caius went there for several days, and Joya was led by Alec to visit the Volturi Castle inside and out, and even waited for an extremely rare servant from Voltura. On rainy days, Caius still did not come.

Probably because of a rainy autumn in Florence the previous year, Joya had already developed immunity to the autumn rain. After she opened the window in the morning and was sneezed by the rain and cold wind pouring into the house, she didn’t have much pain. surprise.

On the contrary, the vampires in the Volturi Castle were quite excited. Alec ran to the garden for more than an hour in the morning, and then ran in soaked, leaving scars on the floor tiles in the castle. A string of wet footprints, but he wasn't in much distress. He didn't care about the water dripping from his hair, but happily said to Qiao Ya who was sitting by the French window: "Gioia! It's raining!"

His appearance reminded Joya of Caius who climbed onto her window on a rainy night a year ago.

He was also soaked, and even the golden hair was dripping water, but he didn't feel embarrassed because of it, and he didn't seem to feel uncomfortable because of the rain-soaked clothes that were tightly attached to his body.The drops of water on his face made his pale, unreal skin a bit clearer. His red eyes were like red gemstones washed by mountain streams. They were clear and bright. An old guy who had lived for nearly 2000 years , the sense of youth soared straight up.

The wet Caius at that time made Qiao Ya, the dog who had lived for two lifetimes, blush.

Apart from Alec, Chelsea and Felix, who was guarding the newborn vampire under the castle, remained in the castle.

Felix hasn't shown up yet, Joya doesn't know what he looks like, and Chelsea is a young vampire with a more silent personality than Alec, every time he sees Joya, he just slightly She nodded and rarely even smiled, but every time she met him, Qiao Ya felt as if she had forgotten something.

On a rainy day, she finished her lunch and decided to go back to her room to take a nap. When she accidentally caught a glimpse of a painting on the edge of the corridor on the third floor, she stopped abruptly.

This painting is very grand, and it seems to be a depiction of war. The soldiers on both sides of the battlefield were all wearing armor from the ancient Greek period, fighting each other with grim expressions. There were corpses piled up at their feet, and the blood stained this coastal area. land.

In the corner of the painting screen, there is a person who is incompatible with war. She has her back facing the painting screen, combing a shiny black braid, wearing simple armor, and her fit figure can be vaguely discerned. arm, on which stood a brown-feathered eagle.

A word drilled into her mind, but she couldn't pronounce the word accurately after thinking about it for a long time.

Until a faint voice sounded behind her: "This is the falconer."

Joya was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, and Marcus, one of the three elders of the Volturi who almost never appeared, stood behind her in that black robe, with a smile on his face, but ethereal. It's like a bubble illusion that is about to burst at the touch of a button.

She wasn't surprised by Marcus' sudden appearance, but her mind was running through the word he just said.

falconer.

As mentioned in Martina's diary, her ancestor, the falconer.

Marcus took a step forward, shifted his gaze to the woman in the corner of the screen, and said, "Eagle is a rebellious animal. During the process of taming eagles, I don't know how many died and refused to be tamed by humans." During the Peloponnesian War, there was such a person who tamed an eagle perfectly, so later generations also called her the falconer.”

"During the Peloponnesian War?" Joya repeated with a frown.

"Yeah, she is a very famous mercenary on the battlefield." Marcus smiled, and pointed to a place on the painting screen, "This painting belongs to Caius, if you are interested in Falconer If so, you can ask him."

And Qiao Ya followed the place he pointed, only to find a blond boy holding a spear and half kneeling in the blood in the miserable situation of Shura. His hair was disheveled and his expression was ferocious. Very embarrassed, even though he could barely stand up, he still stabbed the soldier who was rushing towards him with the sword with the spear in his hand.

Qiao Ya stood in front of the painting and stared at Caius in the painting for a long time, until Alec called her name and walked to the fork in the corridor, she came back to her senses and turned her head to answer. .

"What is Qiaoya looking at?" Alec trotted forward, while Qiaoya quickly took a step back to put some distance from the painting, and then changed the subject with a smile: "Why? It's dinner time so soon?"

Alec did not continue to look at the painting that attracted most of Joya's attention, but said with a smile: "Chelsea just told me that the two newborns have regained their sanity, Joya, you can visit them now .”

Qiao Ya froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really? That's great!"

When she followed Alec out of the corridor and stepped up the stairs leading to the basement of the castle, she was still a little puzzled. She was about to see an old friend she hadn't seen for a year. It is reasonable to say that she should be very excited, but in fact she didn't feel that way in her heart. Instead, it was as plain as seeing the leaves on the window that I see every day.

Alec, who was walking in front, was still saying: "When Caius asked me to place them in the city of Voltera, I was still a little surprised why Caius wanted to save two humans and not allow me to suck their As for the blood, I didn't expect it to be Miss Qiao Ya's friend."

"Ah...you can be considered a friend." Qiao Ya said, she was stunned again, and stopped in her tracks.

She felt something was wrong.

To her, the people of the Totti family are just "friends"?

She raised her head, stepped forward again, followed Alec's footsteps, and walked into a basement that was only illuminated by wall lamps.
