Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret Base

Outside, there was the exchange of greetings between Esme and Dmitry, the roar of cars leaving, and the soft sound of kitchen dishes as Esme opened the door and entered the house. Edward and Bella are not here today, and they must not be worried that she is at home by herself, and let Esme take care of her.

Nahi didn't dare or want to face anyone now, so she reluctantly settled down, got up with one hand, and jumped out of the window. Thanks to the strong physique brought by the half-blood, her skin is tough, her balance and coordination are amazing, and the height of two stories is as easy for her as it is to go down two steps.

In the yard under the window was her mountain bike, which she occasionally rode to and from school or back to Fox to see Charlie. Fu Ling's heart was so full that her originally chaotic mind thought of the perfect "refuge" - a secret base she had just discovered recently.

It was a wooded area on the outskirts of the city, and she always passed on her way to and from Fox. The trunk is tall and straight, with a thick canopy, and you can see half of Seattle and Mount Rainier, which is covered in snow all year round. Listening to the leaves moving with the wind, the birds and insects chirping, watching the sunset over the long river, and the clouds rolling up, Nahi can always find peace of mind.

Today was her first night here. The mountains and forests at night were a little cold, and the cooing of owls, and the rustling of unknown animals pulling grass, were particularly piercing in the darkness. As you climb up, birds flutter and fly up from time to time, snatching their way between the branches and leaves.

"I'm sorry~" Nahi whispered an apology to the frightened birds.

The soft light of the moon is getting brighter, and above there are brittle and soft branches, which are tall enough. Looking around, the majestic mountains are only dark outlines, and only the direction of the city is brightly lit, illuminating a lively scene.

Nahi sat in the treetops, still a little out of breath as she climbed. Looking at the scenery that is different from the past but still magnificent, I gradually lose my mind.

She had already thought about it, not to be bothered by Dmitry, and to live as she pleased. If she is really the only singer he has been waiting for for a hundred years, she should respect her own way of life. Dang, just as if there is one more family, get along and be together; If she can't get anywhere, she has her own Cullens to support her.

But it's one thing to think, it's another thing to be in it. She seems to have misestimated the vampire's feelings for the singer, and Dmitry's love was far deeper and stronger than she could have imagined, and far more than she could have given in response. Her asceticism would be too unfair to Dmitry.

The evening breeze cooled the complicated dryness in his head, but it could not dispel the worries, Naxi leaned against the cold and rough trunk of the tree, looked at the sea of lights in the distance, and guessed the story behind each lamp. But I don't know what kind of panic and chaos her first willfulness, the first time she didn't say goodbye, will cause.

"Baby Nahi, come out for dinner." Esme raised her hand and knocked on the door, and after a moment's wait, she knocked twice with more force. The originally smiling face slowly sank due to the unusual silence.

No, Nahi wasn't exactly a vampire, she was usually in the same house, and her brisk heartbeat and thin breathing could be heard even from afar. But at the moment, the whole house was only the ticking of the clock, the low hum of the refrigerator, and the curtains blown by the night wind. Naihi is not at home!

"Nahi? Naihi? Esme was so anxious that she knocked on the door even more urgently, the deadbolt rattled and the solid door became fragile with a quick knock, barely holding on for a moment before slamming to death.

Esme ignored the door that had fallen to the ground, and rushed into the room, where there was still Nehi's figure, only the window was wide open.

Shaking her hand and figuring out her phone, she didn't know who to call first. Alice's call was like a lifesaver, and the moment she picked it up, both sides shouted a warning at the same time: "Something happened to Nehi!" ”

When Dmitry returned to the Fawkes villa, Mrs. Theo was pacing anxiously, and as soon as she saw him, she quickly stepped forward, "Dmitry, Remio has run out!" ”

"What's going on? What about Edward? ”

"I've been chasing it, hey, it's not for Selena," Lady Theo sighed and rubbed her forehead.

I thought that Remio would complete the transformation, and Selena and the two of them would be able to do it naturally. Which Cheng thought that Remio's awakened talent turned out to be "trapping". Vampires have a natural charm, appearance, breath, and conversation, and they are designed by the heavens to look like they are the most attractive to their prey. And Remio's talent takes this charm to the extreme.

For the first hunt, he asked a group of Suzuka to come obediently and kill him. Seeing Selena, that talent came out even more inclinatively, almost forming a tangible result, enveloping the two of them.

All the obsessions, longings, desires and attachments are intertwined and collided in a small space, fermented into the strongest wine, which makes people dizzy. He pestered her, hugged her, kissed her, and couldn't get enough of her. Selena had never been so submissive and dependent, and Remio was almost mad, not thinking that it was just an illusion of his talent.

Cullen didn't listen to people's hobbies, but only stood guard outside the villa, angry and amused at what Remio had done, but secretly glad that it was better than killing outside.

However, no vampire's talent can always work, and in the moment when he was irritable because of hunger, the mysterious atmosphere cracked, and Selena suddenly came to her senses.

Everything in the past few days is extremely clear in the mind, anger and shame have become dull knives that grind people, one at a time, cutting through the threads of love, but cutting out tangled wounds.

How could he! How dare he! The hand that trembled with anger slapped him hard, but he couldn't get a second slap.

In fact, she is not indifferent to Remio's obsession, otherwise she would not have acquiesced to her family leaving Remio, who is not yet an underage. It's just that the uncertainty of the singer makes her dare not accept it early, if Remio transforms, the singer is not her... There is no precedent for such blood in the history of vampires. And the special police, special combat team, and special agent have been working for a long time, she has become accustomed to being a maverick, and it has taken several years to integrate into the Theo family, not to mention accepting her lover.

But now, is this wanton entanglement really not what she wants? Is he really unmoved by this man who is weak but still stubbornly clinging to himself?

Her anger was on Remio, but also on herself. Everything in front of her made her powerless to face, so she could only escape, trying to find a space and time to calm down.

And this stimulated Remio, who was already in the period of neonatal mania, and he was like a time bomb with a fuse ignited, instantly breaking through the defenses of Edward and Carlyle and chasing straight away.

Dmitry rubbed his forehead when he heard Mrs. Tio's words, and was a little speechless at the pair of happy enemies, what was he tossing. But it's okay, the relationship between the two really needs an opportunity, otherwise Selena's untouchable gentle temperament, Remio still has it, etc.

Feeling the Yuan Consciousness of Remio, it seems that in the nearby mountains and forests, away from the crowd, it is not a big deal, Edward and they should be able to deal with it.

"Jingle bell..."The phone rings.

"Oh no, I see Nahi meeting the rampaging Remio-" Alice had just confirmed Naihi's disappearance with Esmay, and her voice changed in a panic.

"What?" Dmitry was so startled that he almost snapped the microphone, and a mist of blood rose in his usually peaceful warm golden eyes.

Remio is still a newborn, and it is extremely difficult to control himself, and now because of Selena's escape, he is emotional, what will happen when he meets Nahi? There's a heartbeat, there's breathing, and there's fresh, sweet blood flowing through her veins, and the vampire bloodline suppresses the attraction of her blood as "food", but what if?

Dmitry didn't dare to think about it, the image of Nahi's severed head in his previous life came into his mind without warning, if this life was also a step too late? No! He has prepared so much and waited so long, never to repeat the mistakes of the past!

Naihi's meta-consciousness doesn't seem to be felt when the two of them are chatting, it's her talent, and it's automatically defensive when she's alert or nervous, as Edward has already mentioned. So he hadn't really cared about it, but at the moment, this damn talent made it impossible for him to find her.

"Call Naihi and tell her to let her down, I need to know where she is." Dmitry's calm voice came through the microphone, but Alice heard a kind of madness that was about to come.

Remio's meta-consciousness was still so manic and conspicuous, and the general direction should be the same, Dmitry hung up the phone, flew out the door under Madame Tio's worried gaze, and disappeared into the midnight woods in the blink of an eye.

"Hello? Alice? Nahi picked up her phone for a moment, this was the first time she had run away from home, and although she didn't mean to worry her family, it had obviously scared Alice and Esme a lot. Hearing the incoherent concern on the other end of the phone, Nahi was also a little at a loss: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in- I don't know where I am, this is a forest on the way to Fox, Esme, don't cry, I was wrong, I just wanted to... Anyway, I'll get home as soon as possible, don't worry. ”

"Don't move, Naihi," Alice heard Naxi's voice, barely calmed down, she wanted to warn of the danger, but she was afraid that Naxi would be more nervous if she was afraid, so she had to coax: "It's too late now, it's not safe for you to come back by yourself, we'll pick you up, but we need you to relax." ”

Naki found herself in an uneasy state of vigilance again, and quickly relaxed. The soft consciousness lit up in the depths of the woods, and the familiar shiver returned, and Dmitry, not intoxicated, immediately turned around and galloped.

It is easy to go up the tree and difficult to get down, and the dark environment makes every jump a kind of bungee jumping thrill. Finally reaching the ground, Nahi breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed at himself for asking for his own hardships. The breath of the vampire approached, and it should be Alice coming.

But when I turned my head, I realized that it was Dmitry, who had just been separated. His eyes were scarlet, his whole body was tense, his lips were white, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife, with pain and loneliness that Nahi couldn't understand.
