vampire bat

"You sneaked out again?"

When Vinny sneaked in, it happened that Thales was waiting for him in the living room.

"I just went to see Erlande, and I heard that Byrne drove him away, and he was in a bad state." Vinny explained.

Thales nodded, and suddenly appeared next to Winnie. He pressed Winnie against the wall, grabbed his hands and locked him above his head, and said to him, "Do you know that if Fallon finds out If so, what will be the consequences? Not only yourself, but also Ange!"

"You like Ang." Vinny said suddenly, "I can see that you want to be his lover."

Thales stared into his eyes for a long time, and suddenly found that he was a little different: "You have changed, Vinny. Since you became a vampire, you are not the same as before."

"Have I become bad?" Vinny asked, he didn't know what was different about him, but he felt that he was not as afraid of Thales as before, after all, they were the same kind now.

"It's becoming more and more like a vampire." Thales let go of him, "But I still like the old Vinny."

"I won't be caught by Fallon." Winnie rubbed his wrist, "Although you are my elder, I will still visit them."

Thales took out the wine from the cabinet, took a sip and said to Winnie, "Don't be like this Winnie, we can still live like before."

"What does it look like?"

"A well-behaved and cute little bat."

Vinny walked over, picked up another glass and poured himself a drink: "I'm sorry, Thales. I lost Bourne because I'm just a bat, I'm not a vampire, and I don't have a powerful family, so no one will need me .I just...don't want to be as weak as I used to be."

"No, Winnie, you're fine." Thales cupped his face, lowered his head and kissed him, "I like you very much, no matter what you are."

"Don't you like Ange?"

"Ange is my son." Telles said, "Before I became a vampire, I had a son, but I failed to watch him grow up. I think Ange is my new beginning."

"Then can you love me?" Winnie kissed him back.

"No." Thales pushed him away, "I can't betray Wilson, he loves you."

Looking at the back of Thales leaving, Vinny suddenly felt very lonely.In the past, when he felt lonely, he always thought that because he was not a vampire, he would not be loved by others, but now that he has become a vampire, he seems to be as lonely as before.

"Wilson..." He lowered his head, "It would be great if you were here."

Erlande committed suicide, but was rescued.He bled almost all of his own blood, and according to the servants, the blood had flowed from the crack in the door.

But, from then on, Erlande went crazy.He would just sit blankly, with no expression on his face, and would anxiously call a person's name when facing out the window.

Lord Fallon eventually lost interest in him, no longer controlled his activities, and perhaps he wished Erlande would leave on his own.

Eland would stand by the window and call John's name every day, and finally one day, he left.

It was snowing that day, and he was wearing John's favorite clothes and ran to the Hunter's Guild.

"John, John..." Erlande walked towards the gate of the guild step by step. He will always remember this place. It was John who brought him in and tortured him for ten years.

"My father died, my brother kicked me out of the house, my sister hates me, I don't know where to go." Erlande was still approaching, but no one in the guild rushed out.

"John, John! You wouldn't be so heartless, would you? You said you loved me."

An arrow hit Erlande in the left leg, and he fell to the ground, blood red on the white snow.

John came over and looked at him without saying a word.

Erlande crawled over and hugged his leg: "John, I love you."

John stroked Erlande's hair, led him in, and locked him in the chair.

Erlande looked at him and smiled happily, even though he was locked in the chair, but he saw John, his favorite John.

"I know you won't leave me alone," Erlande told him.

"Erland is missing," Vinny said. "Earl Fallon doesn't care about him."

Thales was busy packing up, and it looked like they were leaving soon.

"Have you looked for him?"

"I've looked for it, but he's not here."

"Then let's move to a new place and look for it again." Thales finally pulled out, "Go and call Ange, we'll leave in the dark."

Winnie walked into the bedroom and saw Ange kicked over the quilt and huddled up in the cold.

"Get up and get dressed, let's go." Winnie woke him up and put a thick coat on him.

Thales had been waiting for them outside, "Get in the car, I'll be the groom."

Winnie and Ang were sitting in the car. Ang leaned on Winnie and continued to sleep. Winnie was not sleepy. He opened the curtain and looked at the dark street outside.

The carriage went further and further away, and he didn't know if he could come back in the future.Regarding Bourne, he only saw it once, hanging on a branch from a distance and looking at the people in the window.

Vinny felt that there was always something pressing on his heart. For example, when Wilson left, he knew the news but didn't shed a tear. He always felt that he had to ask someone for something.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Winnie hurriedly hugged the sleeping Ange.

"What happened?" Vinny asked.

"Come out, I think you should see him."

Winnie frowned, and told Ange to stay here. He walked over and saw Josephine lying in front of the car.

"I didn't hit him," Thales said. "It was already there when I saw him."

They helped the man aside, Thales lit a dim lamp, and the light illuminated the large and small wounds on Josephine's body, which were torn together with the clothes, reminding Winnie of a werewolf.

"A werewolf?" Vinny asked Thales.

"I don't think so." Thales shook his head.

"It's Quigley." Josephine's weak voice sounded, very small, but both Vinny and Thales heard it, "He kept me in the palace as a pet, but I finally escaped now."

Winnie looked down at the wounds on his body, the wounds that had never healed, and he remembered Erlande had the same, when Erlande said that he was going to die.

"Come with us, there is blood in the car, and our blood can be given to you too."

"Vinny, it's more dangerous for us to take him," Thales said.

"He's right." Josephine said, "You have been transformed by him. You are in danger, and I am even more dangerous. Run away, Quigley is crazy."

"Dad, why don't you leave?" An Ge ran out to ask after waiting in the car for a long time.

"Ange..." Josephine saw him and stretched out her hand with difficulty, but heard Ange ask Thales.

"Dad, who is he? Is he dying?"

Winnie saw Josephine's body froze in place for a moment, and hurriedly comforted him: "Ange just can't recognize it, the ring... the ring." He reached out to Thales for the ring.

"Forget it." Josephine stopped him. "Don't let him know. His father should be with him forever. Winnie, can you do me a favor?"

"You say it."

"I don't have the strength to do it anymore, so please kill me. I don't want to go back to Quigley. My power, if you want it, take it away."

"Winnie, don't ask for his power, you can't control it yet."

"Thales, take Angle back." Winnie said, he needed this power, and he was going to find Eland.

"Vinny." Thales looked at him, but Winnie squatted beside Josephine motionless, "You chose it yourself."

Thales took Angle back to the carriage and stood by.

"Don't bite with your teeth, you will be found out." Josephine said, "I have a wound on my neck, just use the dagger to cut deeper."

Winnie pulled out the dagger from his waist. He looked at the scar on Josephine's neck and hesitated for a moment.

"It's all right, Vinny," said Josephine. "Quigley drove me to death. You kill me and I'm free."

"I'm sorry," Vinny said, cutting Josephine's neck with the dagger.

It wasn't until Winnie stood up that Thales came over, saw Winnie's blood-stained clothes and said, "I'll go and bury him, change your clothes, don't throw them around, and burn them when you get to your new home." Bar."

Winnie nodded, he watched Thales walked into the woods with the dead Josephine in his arms, and he stuffed the changed clothes into the bag.

After a long time, Thales came back, and he drove away in silence.

Winnie sat in the carriage, watching Ange still sleeping.Angus didn't know that his real father was dead, and probably never would.
