stay together, go up

In this illusory time and space, even death is not the end.

Esther continues the powerful power of her witch ancestor: control Bonnie, let her feed Ric with her blood, and help him complete the transformation.

The only purpose of the transformed Ric is to strangle vampires.

Rebecca and Caroline encounter a transformed Ric while cleaning up a dance, Caroline is caught and Rebecca narrowly escapes.

Rebecca is terrified. She is very familiar with this fear. Her father Michelson has hunted them down for more than 1000 years. Ric is another Michelson. They are also cold-blooded, powerful, fierce and irresistible.

Damon and Stefan also had a lot of headaches because of Ric's transformation, because Ric had a white oak tree stump that could kill the vampire ancestors and wipe out the entire vampire bloodline, which means that they may be buried with Ric's crazy behavior at any time.

"Witches can't create true immortality, there is always a way to undo the spell." Bonnie calmly analyzed, the problem is that she doesn't know how to do it, but, "I think we all know that there is a person whose blood can break the spell." Sturt's spell..."

This person is naturally Lin An.

Rebecca and Klaus were arguing, and Lin An listened with blinking eyes and did not try to persuade them to fight.Rebecca asked to leave immediately, and Klaus wanted to take Elena with him before leaving - he never gave up on the half-breed who made him.

Rebecca said, "We can protect each other,...Always and forever..."

In contrast, Lin An actually agrees with Rebecca more, and understands her sadness. Klaus's insistence on creating a mixed-race child is an indirect or even direct damage to his family's distrust.Although Klaus said it was to "defend against Esther's constant attacks."

And this distrust naturally included Lin An.

Lin An always knew that Klaus was always wandering between the extreme fragility and the extreme strength, and she tried to help him find the middle balance point.It was what she needed, and what they both needed.She didn't ask his own wishes, because all she had to do was to make herself work hard to be the balance point that he could trust. If he couldn't, it was just that she didn't do enough.Instead of blaming him.

Rebecca left sadly and resentfully, and Lin An stayed.But Lin An knows that family members will always be there when you need them, no matter how disappointed she/he left.

Here comes Damon and Stefan, and even Bonnie and Jamie.It's self-evident.

Damon can always instantly magnify Klaus's negative emotions in a certain aspect, and Lin An feels that it would be more helpful if he didn't come.

Sure enough, Mr. Cross asked sullenly, "Why should I bother to save someone who has nothing to do with it?"

Damon said, "Because you know Lin An will be willing." He is good at provoking people, and he is good at persuading people in many cases.

Klaus did not agree or refuse for Lin An.He is used to overriding her thoughts and making strong decisions for her. Lin An does not object because he understands his original intention and protection too well.When he didn't fully trust her in his heart, she had completely given up his trust.Lin An didn't think there was anything wrong with this, just like an exchange, there must always be someone who reaches out first.In the relationship between two people, he has already taken the first step, so let her do the rest.

This time Klaus did not directly refuse.He didn't refuse because he remembered that Lin An had told him that Ric had saved her once.Lin An also remembered that when she and Klaus first met, she said that Ric had rescued her with Damon.At that time, she wanted to repay her life-saving grace.

When he looked over, Lin An laughed, because the other party had a completely arrogant expression of "If you're not happy, you won't return it", even with a cute and naive look of cheating.

In the end, Klaus took Lin An's blood. Lin An has never felt bad for that forbearing and innocent history teacher.But with the blood that breaks the spell, it doesn't necessarily mean success—Ric is now so strong that Klaus has to avoid his edge for the time being. Don't expect him to drink the blood obediently and return to the history teacher who endured the temperature and stuffiness before.

As a result, several people who were originally opposed miraculously temporarily united the front, and quickly planned two plans. One is to subdue Ric and force him to drink blood.This is also the ideal ending that everyone is looking forward to.If it fails, then Bonnie can only cast a spell to dry Ric.

The reason for Klaus' participation is simple. Ric has captured Elena. All he wants is his "blood bag". Of course, it is best to solve Ric at the same time.

However, he soon discovered another shortcut in the struggle. ——

Elena was tied to a chair, her hands and arms were pierced with needles, and fresh warm blood flowed into the blood bag along the catheter in an orderly manner.This blood allows Klaus to create enough hybrids.

Excessive blood loss, Elena was a little dizzy, Klaus wanted to drain her blood.In other words, Klaus didn't want to do this before, he would need Elena to live, he even hoped that she would marry and have children to provide his endless circulation of double body blood.

But it is different now.

Their plans all failed, Ric was too strong.But the good news is that Klaus knows that Ric's life is tied to Elena.His mother, Esther, wanted to destroy all vampires, so she would not allow Ric to live forever, so when Ric was created, he was connected with Elena's life. As long as Elena died, Ric would die too.

So... for Klaus, it was a no-brainer. Elena deserved her death.

Lin An's current changes were not enough to support her in the face of the death of a familiar person, and Klaus held her in another quiet room, as if escaping meaninglessly.Lin An was in a daze, whether one day she could calmly face death, whether she knew it or not.Who was she then?Lin An really wanted to look back at the intersection where she came, but she was afraid that there was no one there, so she could only walk along an out-of-control road.

"Turn her into a vampire..." Lin An said softly.This is the best option so far, Elena dies and transforms into a vampire, and Ric dies with it.Although strictly speaking, transforming into a vampire is also the end of life, it is her choice to deceive herself.

Klaus stroked her hair and said, yes.

"We're leaving here today." Lin An said.It doesn't matter if you escape, go to a brand new city, hide in the unfamiliar crowd, pretend to forget your own origin and history, and guarantee that there will be no killing and bloodshed.okay?

"Okay," Klaus said.

The sky darkened a little bit in the silence, Lin An counted the time, every second of ticking seemed to be mixed with the sound of blood dripping.After night falls, Ric, who cannot walk in the daylight without the protection of the ring, will no longer have any scruples, and they will leave this small town to embark on a new journey.

Waiting in torment, Klaus's suppressed and frightened roar suddenly came from downstairs. Lin An's heart trembled. She had never heard such a painful voice from him, and hurried downstairs.

Downstairs, Taylor, Damon, and Stefan restrained Klaus together. Lin An stopped at the stairs and did not approach. She knew that they were not Klaus' opponents at all.But Lin An soon realized that something was wrong. Klaus was like a giant beast that had been strangled, unable to break free!

Lin An's eyes were full of horror and disbelief. Klaus's face was gradually covered with clearly identifiable blue veins, like undulating mountains, and his whole body was like a dehydrated and dried leaf, losing its vitality a little bit.

Lin An was terrified of pain, and wanted to bump into her, but someone stepped forward and stopped her.

Lin An couldn't see who it was, she just struggled desperately, her chest was slightly oppressed and painful, but the other party effortlessly restrained all her resistance.

When Damon easily restrained Lin An, Klaus moved slightly, and then fell silent again.

The dried leaves finally fell. Damon let go, and Lin An finally walked in front of him, "Klaus..." She called him, but there was no sound at all, and no one responded to her.

The surroundings were still, and Damon hardly dared to look directly at Lin An who was leaning on the floor.The sentence "everyone is responsible for their own choices" is not enough to make him confident.

"Your plan from the beginning was to use the Drying Curse to deal with him?" Lin An asked, his voice was calm and hoarse.

"...No, Lin An. We really intend to use spells to dry Ric, but...Klaus wants to kill Elena...Lin An, he won't stop until Elena dies. After all, compared to Ric, killing Elena is much easier." It was Stefan who answered.

Lin An had calmed down, she stood up, stared at Elena, and said in a low and cold voice: "Damn her!" If she was still guilty of Elena's death just now, now she is only full of hatred.

"She lives only to let everyone die because of her, and the most damned person is her!"

Lin An's words pierced Elena's heart directly, and instantly cooled everyone's slight sympathy for her.

However, what Lin An needs is never sympathy.

She was so shocked just now that she thought they had killed Klaus, even forgetting that Klaus was indestructible.But it soon dawned on them that not only themselves, but even Ric must not kill him before making sure that Klaus was not the ancestor who transformed them.He was only temporarily sealed by Bonnie's drying spell.

After thinking clearly, Lin An didn't want to waste any more time. If her blood could break the spell of Esther, the ancestor of the witch, what about Bonnie?She only hoped that the group of people in front of her would disappear as soon as possible.

Elena recovered from Lin An's sharp words, supported Damon's arm and said, "Lin An, all of this has nothing to do with you. Get out of here and live the peaceful life you want."

Elena's current weak victim's face only made Lin An feel glaring, and she smiled ironically, "Really? Then I have to thank you." After a pause, he said lightly, "Then why don't you let Damon and Sefan leave, Then live the peaceful, ordinary life you like?"

Elena turned pale again.

Lin An's complexion also became even uglier. She was not a mean person, but at this moment, the sharp sarcasm made her feel happy, and at the same time, she also felt a bit of indescribable self-loathing.

Finally nothing to say.

Stefan stepped forward in silence, trying to take Klaus' body away.

Lin An turned pale with shock, and almost screamed: "Shut~Hand!!"

Stefan paused, and Lin An had already stepped in front of Klaus.That's right, how could they leave Klaus's body to her, not to mention her blood, just Rebecca or Elijah can break Bonnie's air-drying spell by finding a witch.After waking up, Klaus's obvious anger was definitely not something they dared to bear.

Lin An, who had figured out her joints, trembled slightly. She had never felt so truly that she was about to lose him.He has eternal life, and he can still find another "Lin An" when he wakes up decades or hundreds of years later, while she can only continue the desolate journey alone after losing it.In this relationship, she has been in a weak position from the very beginning, and it is irreversible, but she already has such a deep and involuntary dependence.

Lin An wanted to yell in grief, but yelling and begging couldn't keep her.

"If you take him away, I will let Rebecca kill Elena! And Elijah and Cole will never let you go!" Lin An said very slowly and calmly, but his heart was full of heartbreak Cracking despair.

Stefan looked at Lin An and said slowly, "You know you won't do that, Lin An, you are not them."
