บท 26: 13 Years 5

Much less living decades apart, Irina was used to seeing hundreds of friends die in these thousand years, so even death didn't make her very sad, that's why Irina also wanted to wait until the day Paul left to end it with him.

Even Carmen and Eleazar, who had been with them for less time, had also lived for centuries and were used to separations, Irina understood what Paul felt and left the mountain, she would tell the other vampires of the Denali coven what she knew, so they wouldn't think Paul was upset with them.

After a few days, when Paul said he was going back to university, Irina ended the casual relationship with him, after all, they weren't together like in the past, and in a few years, Paul would leave and it was better that they ended it before.

Paul was sad but relieved after ending his relationship with Irina, when he was alone at the university, he sometimes thought of Alice and felt guilty about it, even though he knew that his relationship with Irina was different from a typical romantic relationship.

Paul wasn't sure about this, but if in the future he started a relationship with Alice, at least he would be sure that Irina wouldn't be very sad about it, after all, she didn't seem sad that they had broken up.

The other vampires of the Denali coven also expected Irina and Paul to break up and weren't surprised, they knew he would soon leave their house, and if in the future Paul came back and neither he nor Irina found their mates, they could be together again.

Paul learned that Irina had told the other vampires what he had said, besides, he had just broken up with Irina, so Paul decided to go back to his apartment so that the situation would be less awkward when he returned.

That's why Paul couldn't ask Irina about other supernatural beings, he would wait to ask her a few months later, so Paul decided to buy some books and look for some books in the university library about supernatural beings.

Paul was searching for supernatural beings that he didn't know if they existed in the world of Twilight. In his research, Paul saw many stories about demons, ghosts, fairies, and witches, but aside from witches, the rest seemed more like legends.

In his research on books, only werewolves and vampires were more commonly discussed. Vampires knew how to hide well and were legends, but there were many reports that werewolves had existed, so they were hunted in the past.

Paul had talked with Eleazar and now knew better the importance of the Volturi to the vampire world, after all, it was them who prevented vampires from attacking humans without moderation and being exposed.

This didn't change the anger that Paul felt toward them. Besides, he knew from reading the Twilight books that the Volturi had become obsessed with vampires with special powers. They seemed to care more about being recognized as leaders than protecting vampires.

But Paul now knew that he shouldn't kill the Volturi unless it was necessary. After all, he would prevent Irina from speaking to the Volturi if Renesmee was born, but Paul knew that Aro's desire for the powers of Alice, Edward, and Bella in the future was too great.

In addition, when Paul told Edward about his powers, in the future, Aro would also know about Paul's powers when he read Edward's mind. Thus, Aro would want him to join the Volturi as well.

If in the movie Aro decided to attack the Cullens, wanting the powers of Edward and Alice, for sure, he would want to attack the Cullens even without an excuse when he learned about the powers of Paul and Bella.

Paul remembered hearing some fan theories about what would happen after the end of the Twilight book. Perhaps after decades, the Volturi would attack the Cullens again, coveting the powers of Edward, Alice, and Bella.

Thus without the Cullens expecting it or having time to unite their allied vampires, this time they could be eliminated, especially because they would have to live somewhere else, and without the help of the wolves, they would surely lose.

Even if Alice could have a vision about it, it wouldn't help much, since the most they could do was flee around the world, living in this world. Paul agreed with the theory of these fans.

Even after he heard from Eleazar that the Volturi had the ability to unite hundreds of vampires from different families in a fight if they wanted to if Aro had time to use Chelsea's powers.

After reading about the legends, Paul knew that demigods should not exist, after all, he knew that this world had a god who prevented the god who brought him here, so there should not be several gods of Olympus or Asgard.

Paul didn't think there were ghosts because otherwise, they couldn't be hidden, after all, in the age of technology, it would be difficult for ghosts without an organization like vampires to have passed unnoticed.

So Paul thought that there were various types of demons, Yōkai, and witches, because in the legends he saw, these supernatural beings could gain powers from the devil, so the demons that should exist could give powers to witches and create other beings.

Of course, there were witches who could gain powers in other ways, but if the witches in this world weren't bad, Paul wouldn't care about them or be interested in witches, after all, he was a vampire and wouldn't have a good relationship with witches.

After much research, Paul only knew that he still had to talk to someone from the Denali coven, but this time he would try to talk to Tanya and not talk about it with Irina anymore to avoid embarrassment.

Soon time passed, Paul was in the last year of his courses, and then he would no longer go to university until he moved with the Cullens. It was the year 2001, and Paul was only studying for his math, history, and medicine courses.

Paul tried to attract little attention and this time he didn't say he had a scar on his face or use a mask, after all, he would only be in this university for a few years. As he hoped, Paul was still the talk of the class even after everyone said he was asocial.

He also drew attention when he said he wouldn't do the residency program to become a doctor because even if he wanted to learn, Paul wouldn't spend at least another three years doing the residency program knowing that he wouldn't become a doctor.
