Chapter 10: Think

I really hesitate to put the first part in the chapter, I think that putting this part might make people understand that the main character is not an idiot who will protect everyone, just because.

----------------------------------------

After all that, it's been about 3 days since Edward left for another "vegetarian" coven, and along with that, a few days ago, I've been wondering, if humans are really worthy of any being's protection, with studying history and being told about some Cullen's history, I've been set on the darker side of humans.

But even with that, the seal tells him to protect humanity, though it gives him his free will as to which part of the humans to protect.

Perhaps therein lies the problem, as Carlisle said when they first conversed, he was generalizing too much, both to vampires, and to humanity.

Ever since the seal joined him, he knew that his mission was to protect humans from vampires, or perhaps, he misrepresented the message and attitude of previous seal users. Perhaps it was not to protect humans, but to protect "humanity", this term, according to his recent study, encompasses the "good" in humans, the feelings, the empathy, the solidarity.

The problem with this is that it causes an internal conflict, for 3 reasons, how to judge who is part of this "humanity", and is this "humanity" also part of the vampires, does it really have the right to judge those who are part of this humanity?

Even if you impose criteria of who is part of this "humanity", who can give you certainty that you are right.

Maybe this is the reason why the seal gives him this free will of who to protect.

The problem comes when he starts to doubt if what he is protecting is right.

With the information the seal comes with, he knows that the seal came from some long dead deity, who fell in love with a human and gave him the seal as a reward for his "humanity" according to the words of this deity engraved on the seal.

Because of these thoughts, he decided to investigate how to make a reasonable basis for deciding who to protect, and in case he does not know whether to protect someone, he will do it anyway and then judge based on the following reasoning: for the basis he decided to occupy one of the 10 commandments, since, according to a little research, they are the basis of the current laws, obviously the most reasons. These include: do not steal, do not kill and do not commit impure acts. Each of these in case someone comes to commit them with some justification involving, personal safety or empathy, will be considered as someone worthy of protection.

Although there are cases quite easy to see if they are worthy of anything, such as murderers for the sake of it, rapists, or thieves for the sake of it, they are obviously ruled out of anything.

If he considers them to be part of "humanity" he will protect them, regardless of whether they are vampires, witches, werewolves, or humans. Though he doubts whether vampires, witches, or werewolves need protection except in a fight between them.

After thinking that, he prepared to go to high school again.

------------------------------

N.T.: I really only did this to show that he won't protect everyone just because they are human, and also to show a breakthrough with his feeling towards vampires.

------------------------------

Edward is back, and he seems somehow calmer, or rather, prepared. For what, I have no idea.

Once we arrived at the school, we split up to go to our respective classes, while I followed Alice.

I said hello to a few people who came up to me to say hello. During these 2 weeks I haven't really made any allies, but I have seen some good people, and also what they call "hormonal teenagers", it seems that these things they call hormones can affect a person a lot.

Also, my weapon is already being prepared, actually my weapon is not a sword or spear, it doesn't even have an edge, but what, it does have, is deadly effectiveness against vampires.

The process is not even that difficult to do. Just find the oldest, biggest and strongest tree you can find, and inject it periodically and exponentially with solar energy, this with the idea of making it get used to the large amounts of solar energy and at the same time increase its durability.

The process should last approximately 3 months, but as it is a little rushed, it has injected from the beginning, enough solar energy in a tree. This will get it used to the solar energy, but because of the sudden injection, its durability will not be as strong as the 3 month process. It should be ready in a while.

Right, in a few days it looks like we will be taking a field trip to a greenhouse, sounds like fun.

During lunch time I watched as Edward chatted with his partner, strange.

As it was time to leave, and I was getting into Edward's car, I managed to see another car approaching quickly and dangerously close to Edward's partner.

As I was preparing to stop the car, Edward had already appeared next to Bella and stopped the car with his palm.

At that moment, he remembered Carlisle's words.

A human is not supposed to know about the existence of vampires.

Well, this just became a problem.
