"Bella... There is something... Come here."
"It's the smell of 'cold-blooded'! "
"What a thick ... Smell of blood! "
Jacob's warning through [Bloodline Link] made Bella's eyes instantly sharpen. She looked up in the direction of the boundary of the Lapush Reserve, her nose moving lightly.
There is indeed a faint, sweet and decaying smell that is drifting over with the night breeze.
Bloodsucker.
And more than one.
"Everyone, stay vigilant." Bella's voice was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.
Sam and the others immediately stood up from their kneeling posture, and the three giant wolves spread out in a fan shape, protecting Bella and the elders in the middle. In their eyes, the desire to fight burned.
However, the smell suddenly stopped several kilometers away from them.
It seemed that the visitor sensed something and did not dare to approach it anymore.
On the outskirts of Fox Town, the Cullen family's glass villa.
A shrill scream tore through the tranquility of the night.
Alice bounced off the sofa suddenly, her whole body trembling violently as if she had been hit by a high-voltage electric shock, and her originally clear golden eyes were now filled with pure fear.
She saw it.
She finally sees the future about Isabella Swann!
But that wasn't any picture she wanted to see.
Blood.
Blood everywhere.
The remains of vampires were scattered all over the place, some of which she could even recognize—it was Victoria's red hair, it was James' broken arm, it was... Her own head?
And in the center of this hellish ruin, a huge black wolf was desperately large, gently rubbing a girl's cheek affectionately with its hideous head.
That girl is none other than Isabella Swann.
There was no fear, no disgust on her face, only one ... A pampering smile.
...
It's like looking at your favorite pet.
"Alice!" Edward was the first to rush to her side, clinging to her shoulders. "What did you see?"
"Death... Alice's voice was like broken glass, "I saw it... The death of all of us ..."
"Ah——!"
Her words plunged the entire living room into dead silence.
Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, everyone gathered around, their faces full of unprecedented solemnity.
"Tell me specifically." Carlisle's voice was soft, but everyone could hear the pent-up tension in it.
"It's that girl... Isabella Swan ... "Alice held her head, her voice full of despair," and she had a head beside her... Monster... A huge black wolf ..."
"Wolf?" Jasper frowned, "The werewolf of Quirut?" "
"No!" Alice raised her head suddenly, the fear in her eyes almost overflowed, "Not an ordinary werewolf!" Is that... That's ..."
Her voice was stuck in her throat, as if even the description was a blasphemy.
"What is that?" Emmett was a little impatient.
"God." Alice's voice was as light as a feather, but as heavy as a mountain, "That's the god of the wolf clan." "
This word made everyone's blood coagulate.
God?
A vampire who says another species has gods?
It's just a fantasy!
"Alice, are you sure you read it right?" Rosalie's voice trembled with a hint of trembling, "Maybe it's just a relatively big werewolf..."
"I read that right!" Alice was almost growling, "I saw it tear Victoria apart with one claw!" I saw its roar shattering James' bones! I saw... I saw all of us die at its feet! "
"And that girl, Isabella Swann, was standing there, watching us die with a smile on her face!"
Edward's face became paler than paper.
He remembered the undisguised disgust and contempt that Bella had when she looked at him at school today.
It turned out that she was not being unreasonable.
Is she real... Hate them.
I hate them so much that I want them to die.
"It's impossible." He muttered, "She's just a human girl... How could she ...?"
"Human?" Alice let out a shrill laugh, "Do you think an ordinary human can invalidate all of our abilities? "
"Do you think an ordinary human can command the god of the wolf clan?"
"Edward, wake up! She is not an ordinary person at all! She was... She is ..."
Alice tries to say the word "enemy," but she finds herself unable to say it.
Because in that bloody future, what she sees is not war, but ... Slaughter.
Unilateral massacre.
"We have to leave." Carlisle's voice broke the silence, "Immediately, right away." "
"What?" Emmett's eyes widened, "We want to run away? "
"It's not an escape, it's a strategic retreat." Carlisle's tone was firm, "If what Alice sees is true, then we are going to die here." "
"But..." Edward wanted to retort, but swallowed it back when it came to his lips.
What can he say? Say he can't bear the girl who hates him? Say he wants to figure out her secret?
"Edward." Esme walked up to him and stroked his cheek, "I know you have feelings for that girl, but ..."
"I didn't!" Edward pushed her hand away suddenly, "I don't have any feelings for her!" I was just... I'm just not willing! "
"Unwilling to be humiliated by a human girl! Unwilling to let us vampires be forced to leave their homes! "
His voice was full of anger and humiliation.
For the first time in more than a hundred years, he felt what powerlessness was.
"Then what do you want to do?" Rosalie sneered, "Go to her for a duel?" Or go to the 'god' to go head-to-head? "
Edward was silent.
He knew Rosalie was right.
If Alice's prediction was true, then they had no chance of winning.
"Are we really going to leave like this?" Jasper's voice was unwilling, "Don't even try?" "
"What to try?" Alice's voice was full of despair, "Try to die?" "
"You don't understand, the picture in the future... That's not a fight, that's ... Hunting. "
"We are before it like a lamb facing a lion."
"No, it's worse than that. We are not even as good as lambs. "
Her words silenced everyone.
The Cullen family, a powerful family in the vampire world, felt despair for the first time.
"Maybe... Maybe we can contact Volturi. Esme whispered, "If there really is such a threat, they should ...."
"No." Carlisle shook her head, "Volturi won't believe us." Moreover, if we tell them that there is a presence here that threatens the vampire race, they will only send people to investigate. "
"We won't be the only ones who will die then."
This cognition has made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.
Not only do they have to face an unknown and powerful enemy, but they also take on the responsibility of protecting the entire vampire race.
"Then what should we do now?" Emmett asked the questions on everyone's minds.
Carlisle looked out the window, and that direction was the Lapush Reserve.
There, there is a being that they can never understand and cannot confront is quietly changing the pattern of the world.
"Pack your things." He finally said, "We'll leave tonight." "
"Where to go?"
"The farther the better."
At this moment, Alice screamed again.
"No! She... She knows! "
"What?"
"She knows we're talking about her! She... She's looking at us! "
Alice's words made everyone feel a chill to the bone.
They turned their heads to look out the window, where there was only boundless darkness.
But they all had a feeling that in the depths of darkness, there was a pair of eyes watching them coldly.
It was an eye of God.
And they are just ants in the eyes of God.
