Twilight - Dimensional Traveler

After the incident with the three vampires who had been causing trouble in the region, life returned to normal for everyone.

Although the Cullen family didn't doubt Mark's words, they still kept watch over Bella's house for several nights. It was only once they were sure James and the others had vanished that they stopped guarding her.

Naturally, Mark didn't mind. He would've found it strange if they had simply believed him without verifying.

Edythe asked Mark several times what he had done, but he wouldn't share any details—he just said he killed them and left it at that.

In the apocalyptic world, Laurent, James, and Victoria nearly died of thirst. When they arrived in that ruined world, they were initially confused.

One moment they were fleeing through the forest, and the next they found themselves in a devastated city.

To make matters worse, they stumbled upon countless undead humans. Luckily, being undead themselves, the zombies ignored them.

They wandered in search of survivors but found none, and their thirst grew stronger each day.

To worsen things, drinking blood from the dead was useless—it had long dried up. After nearly going mad from bloodlust, they discovered they could survive by feeding on animals.

Apparently, only humans in this world had turned into zombies—the animals remained unaffected, offering a lifeline to Laurent, James, and Victoria. Mark didn't care about them anymore. In fact, he had already forgotten they even existed.

Days passed, and Su Chen returned from the other world—to Mark's displeasure. Another strange event occurred a few weeks before the dance: Bella injured her leg and had to wear a cast.

Mark looked at the situation and wondered what kind of fate this was...

Today was the day of the dance. Mark dressed in a fine, elegant suit.

 "Son, when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?" William teased, admiring his son in formal wear.

"Maybe one of these days?" Mark replied casually.

"Well, anyway, I hope you enjoy the dance." "I will, Dad."

Mark said goodbye to his father and went to pick up Edythe at the Cullens' house.

He arrived quickly. After greeting Carlisle and Esme, he waited outside. Not seeing the other family members, he figured they'd already gone to the dance.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Edythe's tender voice reached Mark's ears. When he turned to her, his heart skipped a beat.

She usually wore outfits that expressed her wild side. But seeing her now in a knee-length black dress, gracefully outlining each curve of her body— Her delicate pale arms, and slender elegant neck—sparked something inside him.

"No, you look so stunning... like a goddess descended to bless mortals with her presence."

Edythe laughed at his response. She was confident in her looks, but hearing it from the one she loved made her glow even more.

"You're gorgeous too. Makes me want to rip that outfit off and devour you," Edythe teased.

Mark noticed the necklace around her neck and smiled, happy she was wearing it.

"That necklace looks perfect on you."

He walked up to Edythe and held her in his arms.

"I love it too. I look at it every night," Edythe said, hugging his waist and gazing at him with eyes full of affection and love.

"I'm glad. I've got another gift in the works for you," Mark said, kissing her forehead.

"Really? What is it?" Edythe asked curiously, then kissed his neck.

"Well... it's a secret. What do you say we get going so we're not late?" Mark suggested.

As they embraced, they shared a warm kiss. Then Mark opened the car door for Edythe, and the two headed to the spring dance.

Upon arriving, Mark and Edythe met Bella and Edward. After a few brief words, the couples split up to enjoy the evening in their own way.

The dance went smoothly. Su Chen attended with another girl whom Mark had only seen a few times. Since they didn't cause any trouble, Mark didn't mind either. Tonight, all he could see was Edythe.

------

With this, I conclude the first volume of this fanfic. Some sentences may feel out of context because I use AI to translate the romance.

I write in Portuguese and use AI to transcribe the chapter into English, which sometimes ends up altering a few phrases and losing their meaning.

But in the next volume, I'll pay closer attention to the details, to the development of the story and the interactions with other characters.

That's all for today. Until next time...
