"She's lucky..." Watson praised Alice who was now lying down after taking some potion and treatment.
Watson had bandaged Alice's wound with some herbs that would speed up the healing of her wound. Watson was an unknown healer, considering in this castle the only one who needed care from him was Old Yu and Renesmee. He doesn't have much work to do.
Watson should be happy that he found another patient to heal. But for some reason, Alice was a troublesome patient. Even though her body pheromones smell so good, Alice's blood smell sting stronger than Renésmee's. It's hard to breathe around her open wound!
"If it wasn't Rosita she'd be a bone by now." Watson's explanation adds the fact that Alice's blood is very attractive for vampires.
[ This woman is a rare meal for the vampires. They would be happy if they caught Alice. ]
"Where exactly is this woman from? I thought you brought her into the castle. In fact her knowledge is equivalent to that of a newborn wolf."
Watson once checked into the library, he heard Jacob teach Alice everything about the Land of Eden. History, geography and culture. Her brain must be completely blank!
Jacob made no comment. He felt guilty, if he had been more careful Alice wouldn't have ended up like this. Huh, he hasn't felt restless like this in a long time. He needs to get over it…
"I'll talk to Rosita," he said. "Please take care of Alice."
Watson is left with Alice. Uh? Why did he have to take care of this blonde?
Watson took care of Alice and in just a moment he was bored. How long must he be like this? Listening to Old Yu's lecture is still better than taking care of this woman.
Hasty footsteps echoed and were heard throughout the room.
Someone's coming closer… bam! The door to the room was breached.
Watson almost transforms into his wolf form, apparently it's Vincent who breaks in. He came back sooner. Have they found Renésmee yet?
"What happened to her!?" Vincent's gaze fell on Alice who was lying on the bed.
Watson gave him a succinct report that: "Rosita attacked her, a bit of a misunderstanding and a wound. She'll be fine."
Hearing Rosita's name, Vincent asked again, "Gale is back?"
"Yes, they arrived this morning."
"Find Gale, tell him to meet me before dinner."
Vincent stepped closer to Alice's bed to take a closer look. He almost acted rashly because of the emotions that had been oppressed for a month. Vincent thought he had kicked Watson out of this room but that man still remained where he was.
"Why didn't you go find Gale?"
"Oh! Now?" Watson didn't think it was urgent work but then he thought about it rather than him staying in this room any longer, carrying out Vincent's orders seemed better. "I'll look for him now."
Watson left the room. Now there were only Vincent and Alice in this room. Seeing Alice's bandaged neck made Vincent feel suffocated.
Gosh, how did it come to this!
No wonder he keeps feeling uneasy.
All those intuitions and hunches were true, Vincent somehow connected with Alice the way he had always connected with Renésmee.
This woman… How could she do it?
Was Vincent enchanted or something?
How can his feelings change?
Vincent took Alice's fingers and squeezed them. This feeling was real, his mind, his heart, his love had changed direction… Now everything was on this blonde woman.
…
Jacob's explanation to Rosita sounded absurd even though it was repeated several times.
He says to Rosita, "she just happened to be there, he didn't know anything, she didn't do anything to Nessy."
When examined, there is no specific evidence that states that Alice is innocent. Surprisingly Vincent also didn't get rid of Alice and trusted her just like that. They're just going to hold off the blonde until Nessy is found.
Rosita agrees with the decision, even if Renésmee returns they cannot let Alice go. Not with the strange blood running down her body. It's too dangerous.
"Is that really dangerous?"
For Jacob or the werewolves Alice's blood was too smelly and sharp, that's all. Which part is dangerous?
"I couldn't control myself when I smelled her blood. Instantly she made me hungry and thirsty. The smell of Alice's blood was the best I've ever smelled."
Only the Vampires would understand Rosita's feelings when she smelled Alice's blood. It was the best experience and the worst self-defense Rosita had ever experienced in her life.
"Have you ever heard of divine blood? Like the blood of knights or a fairy creature. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Alice has divine blood. I can be sure, there's something special about her… If you want her to be safe, she should be taken south."
Taking Alice to the south?
She meant to hand Alice over to the southern people ?
I don't know, is that a good idea?
They can still keep it here, why should she be taken to the south?
Jacob suddenly thought… Vincent wouldn't agree.
"By the way, what about the Southern Kingdom… any good news?" Jacob wanted to know. Did that strange storm of darkness also cause trouble in the south or did it just happen to Renésmee?
"That strange storm also hit the south but there were no serious losses or problems or missing persons like Nessy. The people of the south are safe. We just can't see the Queen at the moment, she is pregnant and we have been asked to keep it a secret for her safety. Maybe it will only be announced after the baby is strong enough. They promised to send knights to help us find Nessy."
"Oh? That's good news."
"Well, not good enough either… I'm worried about the Vampire King. I heard Her Majesty Queen Leah also disappeared during that storm. What do you think the Vampire King will do if he hears Nessy is also missing? They are both our nation's treasures…
You know Harris? He was pretty sure that you werewolves were secretly doing something behind this. He had an argument with Gale, luckily they didn't get into a fight… I hope there won't be any more chaos between our clans."
Rosita's hope was pure from the bottom of her heart. She had accompanied Renésmee to live with the werewolves for almost four years. This pack is like her second family and she doesn't think the other werewolves are so bad. They shouldn't continue to be enemies.
Luckily Jacob is not an Alpha. The matter of peace between these two peoples did not matter to him. It was all a burden for Vincent not Jacob to think about. The only weight capable of pulling Jacob to the bowels of the earth was Renésmee.
How to say it…
If in fact Jacob was with Renésmee when the storm of darkness occurred. Nessy was in his arms and she just disappeared into the darkness.
The storm of darkness… that strange phenomenon took Renésmee and everything about her.
The darkness had hypnotized Jacob, leaving his heart blank for a moment and forgetting Renésmee's existence. When he heard Vincent's raging roar from afar, Jacob realized that his Nessy had disappeared from his arms.
Even now his heart still feels empty and empty. That was why Jacob knew Alice was innocent. What was wrong was that she wasn't Alice.
It was like the worst nightmare of Jacob's life. He couldn't even say it to Rosita or maybe anyone in his whole life.
"Jacob?"
