The surface was still damp, but under the steaming heat of the afternoon, it was much better than in the morning, and the mountain road was gradually solidifying, and Linda had calmed down from the panic she had just had.

Seeing the greasy and crooked pairs, she can finally focus on photography.

The stream at your feet is longer than you think, and the rocks are stacked and sparkling, hidden in the deep forest, and the light and shadow are the best materials.

Linda patted and patted, and before she knew it, she was walking a long way downstream.

The sound of water in front of me suddenly sounded, and when I looked up, the trees gradually thinned out, the field of vision was open, and the stream disappeared on the cliff, and I had reached the beach.

With a cry of surprise, Linda ran to the cliff.

It was here that the stream seemed to reveal its true face, retracting its light and gentle gentleness, rushing down the torrent, and hanging out a silver ripple.

The cliff is as steep as a knife, but it is not high, but only about ten meters, looking down does not feel timid, but arouses the pride of jumping in, making people want to try a thrilling cliff diving.

But this time it's still cold, the weather is still cold, and there are only a few days before the mathematical modeling competition, and if she catches a cold now, the team leader will scold her to death.

Linda regretfully retreated a few steps away from the edge of the cliff and observed the scenery around her.

This is a shallow bay surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with a road built on the opposite cliff, and the sea under the cliff is endless.

It's so great for taking pictures! Linda raised her camera excitedly like a little mouse in a rice bowl.

campsite

Penny and Hadlin are playing cards.

Nahi was still worried about eating barbecue, and he didn't ask Dmitry to help, so he had to try to catch a fish himself. Rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the knee-deep stream, looking around, but there was nothing to gain for half a day.

Dmitry laughed at her as she was busy in the water, pretending to inadvertently chase the fish to Nahi's hand.

But he suddenly noticed something, his smile faded, he stood up, and frowned to look west.

Nahi had just caught a small fish the size of a palm, and was so excited that she held her hands and showed it off to him, and she didn't care about the fish when she saw this, so she let the small fish that didn't leave her hand break free and fell back into the water.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Linda? ”

"I'm not sure, there's a werewolf close to her, like the one she knows Bella."

Nahi: ......

Forget that it's not far from the Lapushi reservation.

She couldn't bear to tell Dmitry that Jacob was much safer than a vampire to humans. After all, they were there to protect their clan.

Rest assured, the small fish that was lost just now is particularly regrettable, although it is not enough to stuff the teeth, but the fly legs are also meat, which she caught herself.

"Do you need me to save her?" Dmitry asked her solemnly.

"Not necessarily, but they really don't like outsiders coming to Rapush, so I'd better go and have a look." Nahi went ashore on the water, and slowly put on her shoes and socks on the grass.

"I'll go with you."

"Don't don't, forget the contract Carlisle made with them? You are not allowed to step into Rapush. Nahi had a headache when he thought of the feud between the two clans, and waved his hand to comfort Dmitry: "You should compensate me for a fish, I was scared by you just now, and the fish I caught fell back, it is so big." She gestured weakly to the length of her forearm.

Dmitry smiled, did not poke her, pulled up the little girl and kissed the forehead: "Okay, I promise to catch you a big one." ”

Nahi was right, Jacob certainly wouldn't hurt humans.

Instead, he watched from afar at the figure lying on the edge of the cliff to take pictures, and fell into a shock and impulse that he had never felt before.

It was still early spring, and the sea breeze was carrying the damp and cold air, and the chill was thick on his body, but he felt that he was overwhelmed by the sudden heat wave, and the unprecedented high temperature was overwhelming, not scorching, but enthusiastic.

The girl struggled to reach out of the cliff, as if she wanted to photograph the moment the waterfall fell.

What's so good about this, her seaweed-like curls swaying in the wind are much more beautiful than a waterfall.

There is also a round and lovely face, big attentive eyes, and even a few freckles on both sides of the nose.

They all attracted him strongly and vividly.

At this moment, all the threads that bound him to fate were cut in an instant.

Everything that proved his worth, that attracted his existence—his identity, his name, his love for his family, his loyalty to his tribe—was like a balloon tied to one place, clicked, clicked, severed, slowly distanced from him.

But he didn't drift away, a new thread connected him to the world, as if a new gravity was defined.

Jacob certainly knew what it was.

Sam, Paul... When I was in the original wolf pack, I shared my thoughts with them, and I felt this throbbing too many times.

But it was his turn that he really understood the strong feelings.

He finally understands why Sam abandoned Leah and ran to Emily without hesitation.

He is the same now. Bella is no longer important, it should be said that nothing is important, only the girl in front of him whose name he doesn't know yet, only she will be his only focus.

Linda was startled when she noticed that someone was watching her, and the camera that was already unstable was instantly out of her hands.

That's the SLR that her mother gave her!

She forgot that she was still half-hanging on the cliff, and only cared about reaching out to rescue the falling camera, and her body, which had nowhere to focus, lost her balance because of the movement of reaching forward again, and was about to fall down.

Jacob's eyes were torn apart, he had never been so panicked, and the girl's leaning figure down the cliff was like a sharp blade of Ling Chi's execution, stabbing into his chest.

The heart was constricting in pain, and the blood was frozen to the point of clotting. The body was still subconsciously moving for him, and he flew over at the limit speed of a humanoid form, and grabbed Linda's... Ankle.

Rejoicing for the first time that he had the physical qualities of a beast, Jacob took a deep breath and suddenly lifted up, pulling Linda up at once.

Linda was so frightened that her legs went limp. Although she wanted to try cliff diving, such an unprepared upside-down onion was not on the list.

Lying on his back on the ground, trying to breathe calmly, but his head was buzzing, and his whole body was covered with a kind of numbness, and he couldn't tell where it hurt or where it hurt.

The boy who had saved her knelt beside her anxiously, touching her face and head in a panic, his voice sounding like a membrane.

"How are you? Did it hurt anywhere? Does it hurt here? ”

Linda was dirty, her pants seemed to be worn, she couldn't get up for a while, her body was still shaking, the boy thought she was injured, and he wanted to untie her clothes in a hurry.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Linda quickly stopped his hand, and eased the initial shock excesses, and now the senses gradually became clear, in fact, it didn't seem to hurt anything.

Seeing that he was more nervous than the one who was rescued, Linda wanted to laugh a little.

The boy in front of him was tall, his muscles were enhanced by his dark wheat-brown skin, his cheekbones and brow bones were high, and his dark eyes were deep and narrow.

At this moment, he was panting, his chest was heaving, his eyes were warm and determined, and his palm, which was on the high side of his body, was holding the back of her head, as if he was going to take her into his arms the next moment.

What are you thinking? Linda secretly spits on herself.

Regained some strength in her limbs, sat up with her hands on the ground, and the boy next to her hurriedly supported her, afraid that she would not be able to sit steadily, so he leaned sideways and let her lean on his arms.

"Thank you for saving me, and my camera." Raising her hand, which had been deformed by the camera strap in her hand, she turned her head sideways to thank her, only to realize that the two were so close.

The boy's burning breath was on his face, and the heat of his chest was clearly heard behind him, and his burning eyes stared seriously, as if to say, it wasn't her blind thinking just now...

"Linda? Linda! Nahi's voice came from far and near: "Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" ”

Nahi didn't expect to see such a scene. She thought she just needed to explain their trespass to Jacob, but Linda really had an accident.

Linda coughed dryly and explained uncomfortably: "I almost fell off the cliff just now, it was this... Sir saved me. ”

Nahi covered her mouth in surprise, unable to imagine the scene she described, if it weren't for Jacob's presence, wouldn't Linda be...

"Thanks... Thank you! The voice was already crying with fear.

"Hmph..."Jacob's face stinks from the moment Naihi appears, don't expect him to have any good attitude towards vampires, not half a vampire!

It turned out that her name was Linda, what a beautiful name.

But apparently she is friends with the Edwards' imps, which is really annoying, how can she always be entangled with those vampires.

Nahi's vampire aura irritates him and makes him instinctively worried about Linda's safety.

Even if he knew that Karen's family were vegetarians, through observation and inquiry, he found that Nahi didn't even drink animal blood, but they were vampires after all, in case...

The strong desire to protect made him unwilling to let go of any risk, and he held Linda's arm and subconsciously blocked the front, turning into a guard posture.

Linda was so embarrassed that she struggled to stand up, but Nahi hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but was waved away by Jacob.

Linda: ???

Nahi: ???

Linda was wondering, the two seemed to know each other, but they were so weird that she couldn't imagine how anyone could hate Naihi.

Nahi was wondering, too, she understood Jacob's dislike of her and the other vampires, but was it too defensive? Help her classmates guard against her? Something seems weird?

The girls' confusion was too obvious, and Jacob realized that he was overreacting, and explained awkwardly: "I suspect she has a wound on her leg, and I am afraid that you will pull her violently and pull the wound." ”

As he spoke, he looked back at the mountain road they had taken when they came, not only along the stream, but also in any direction, and it took a lot of effort to get to the main road where they could drive. He frowned and proposed, "The road is not easy to walk, why don't I take her back?" ”

There was no need to explain anything now, and Nahi immediately understood that something was wrong, Jacob was too special to Linda! It's not special to Charlie, to Bella, to anyone else. There is only one explanation for this peculiarity in the wolf clan - branding lovers.
