stay together, go up

He didn't look at the other half of his eyes, didn't dare to stay a step longer, but staggered but approached step by step.He had been lying on the ground just now, bleeding too much, soaking the soles of his shoes, leaving a series of winding red footprints behind him.Cole, who was lying not far away, began to blur and shake in Lin An's sight. The air was thin, but she didn't even dare to breathe hard.For the first time, she truly felt that the group of people in front of her were "enemies" who were against them...

Klaus' eyes were bloodshot.

"Invite him in!" Bonnie's voice was not high, but it was undeniably sonorous.

Although surprised, Jeremy still invites Klaus to come in as promised.Bonnie's powerful force immediately dragged Klaus into the house, and cast a spell to trap Klaus.Lin An saw that he was surrounded by an invisible cage, like a raging beast, roaring frantically and uselessly.

Lin An's mind was broken, he was dying of pain, and subconsciously struggled to get closer.Cole stopped her.Bonnie's spell made him unable to move, but the moment Lin An came over, the spell that restrained him disappeared automatically, and his broken limbs recovered little by little.

Cole immediately understood that Lin An could break the witch's spell.If she leaves now, Klaus won't be saved, and he won't be able to fight Bonnie again.

Bonnie's plan was flawless: trap Klaus, kill Cole, complete the map, find the cure, heal Klaus, kill him.A closed dead end.

The breach lies in Lin An.With Lin An's blood, Bonnie's spell can no longer trap and kill Cole, and Elena and Jeremy are not his opponents.Cole picked up Lin An and quickly rushed towards Klaus.The hunter's gun roared behind him, and Cole turned around to avoid it.Cole glanced at Klaus, nodded, embraced Lin An, turned to the door, and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

Then their vitality disappeared.Bonnie, Elena, Jeremy, and more...

Klaus's indifferent voice came, "I will kill all of you." He stood still, like a god of death in the night.

Lin An woke up in the darkness, unable to tell where he was.

"It's best not to move around, the wound will burst open."

Lin An recognized his voice, did not answer immediately, and lay back down again.

"Cole has rescued Klaus." With Lin An's blood breaking the spell, nothing can trap Klaus anymore.

The voice continued, "He wants to kill everyone."

"That's why you use me to threaten him." In a calm statement tone.Lin An lay on his back on the bed, waking up with the pain.The left shoulder throbbed with fine and dense pain.

After a long silence, Damon's voice came from the side again, "...we have no choice." Cole used Lin An's blood to break the spell that trapped Klaus, and at the same time they went to the hospital and took Lin An away.

Lin An stopped talking.There is always a choice, and the choice is made when the words are spoken.People are just used to using this as an excuse to appease the guilt in their hearts, and then confidently continue a road of sacrificing others to fulfill themselves.

Fortunately, Lin An's hostage life was not so difficult. Damon didn't tell her where it was, and in fact he didn't show up after that day.Perhaps this means that he has not yet reached a "truce agreement" with Klaus?

What day?Time became useless, Lin An didn't try to remember it.

At seven o'clock, the door of the bedroom was knocked on time.It's the mistress of the house, Mrs. Anderson.Widowed and hypnotized by Damon, she takes care of and monitors Lin An's daily life here.

"Come in." Lin An said softly.

The door was pushed open. "Morning, Mrs. Anderson." Lin An said without raising his head, and leaned against the head of the bed with difficulty.

A pair of big hands circled her shoulders, and easily lifted her slightly to adjust her sitting posture.Lin An looked up in surprise, saw the person coming, subconsciously dodged, struggled to the wound, and let out a muffled grunt.

Damon raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, your blood is 'poisonous', I won't say anything to you."

Lin An was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to interface, so he stood there for a while.

Such unfamiliarity and embarrassment made both of them feel a little bit sad, and the last trace of regret and resentment between them had long been dispelled, and they were truly irrelevant people.Ah, no!She is still his hostage.Used by him to bully the person she loves.

They are a group of people, where there is no connection, it is intricate. Elena and Stefan, Elena and Damon, Rebecca and Stefan, Rebecca and Matt, Caroline and Matt, Caroline and Taylor, Bonnie and Jeremy...the outside world is probably no man and It's a woman, so it's a constant exchange of partners and entanglements in this weird circle.

"Think of something interesting?" Damon saw the sudden change in Lin An's face.

Lin An shook his head, "What's the matter with you?" You came so early.

"It's a long story," Lin An saw the obvious hesitation on his face, "Let's have breakfast first. Are you here or the restaurant downstairs."

Lin An didn't ask, "Go down." Then he stood up.The wound has not fully healed yet, although doctors come to give her blood transfusions on time every day - vampire blood is the most indispensable here, but since her blood can restrain the wizard's spell, the healing power of vampire blood to her Declining, but better than nothing.

Damon didn't come to help him again, and watched Lin An move forward step by step cautiously.Trance was the first time he saw her stupid look when she climbed the stairs. At that time, she was still a little blind, and she was so careful.Time is really a magical thing, it changes everything, it makes you remember and miss, but you can't get it again.

For breakfast, the gentle Mrs. Anderson made homemade cakes and milk pudding.Served in a delicate plate, the small ones seem to increase the appetite.

Damon is not a person who always puts his thoughts on his face at any time. The hesitation just now has disappeared, and he exaggeratedly praised Mrs. Anderson's virtuous beauty.That's how he is, with the charm that makes people who don't know him fall in love with him quickly at any time.

"Come on, let's talk." Lin An pushed away the dinner plate beside him.Procrastination does not help solve problems.

Damon stood up and took away the tableware from the two of them. His actions made Lin An feel a little uneasy. Damon put the cutlery in the sink and picked up the paring knife instead.

Peel the apple leisurely. "Klaus is not going to let us go," he said.

Lin An wasn't surprised, if it was easy to compromise, it wasn't Klaus.

"You don't look surprised," Damon continued. "I think it's my fault, and Klaus's, that I didn't communicate my resolve clearly."

Damon put down the apple, and pressed Lin An's left hand on the dining table without warning, the fruit knife hovered above the little finger.

"Damon..." Lin An called him.

Impossible not to be shocked.The reason why he has been so calm is because he is convinced in his heart that it is impossible for him to really hurt her, even if there is separation, estrangement, and confrontation, he will not hurt her, just like she will never hurt him.

But, who gave her such confidence?People are so forgetful, the once fatal knife was thrown in the corner of time lightly.So, now it's time for the second cut.

Finally remembering the pain from the past, Lin An subconsciously supported his neck with his right hand. Damon looked at her, his eyes sparkling, and the knife moved closer.

"Let me talk to him, he'll listen, I'll talk him out. Damon, don't do this." Don't keep pushing each other like this, even strangers can't do it.

"Jeremy's dead," Damon said suddenly.

"What?!" Lin An was completely shocked.From Lin An's point of view, Elena and the others seemed to be staging an intertwined, ups and downs of a script. Other than them, everything else was just a supporting role, and cooperation or sacrifice was insignificant, just to set off the brilliance of the protagonist.So they saved the day and created miracles again and again.

Sometimes even in Lin An's eyes, it's just a toss.Toss yourself, but also toss others.

Damon added, "Klaus got Elena."

They finally found a cure, and paid a terrible price for it.Without Cole's "one-step" cooperation, Jeremy could only kill vampires one by one.All they face these days is death, because there is no more time, and Lin An's coercion is used to win Klaus's short-lived mercy-the cure is the only hope.They need enough deaths to populate the complete Hunter's Mark map.This road of hope will eventually be paved with blood.

but.Yeah, "but"—a neat twist that undoes all effort.Catherine, the glamorous "sorrel", easily stole the only healing antidote.

And killed Jeremy.Wherever Catherine went, there was never silence.

There was a rumbling sound in Lin An's mind.Here life becomes extremely cheap and perishable, and death is something that people can never get used to and easily accept.

"You should take me to see him." Lin An said.

Damon nodded. "I'll bring a part of you to him." He'd know he shouldn't ignore the determination of a persecuted man.

Lin An's complexion was pale.The tip of the knife no longer hesitated, and pressed down with a sharp edge.Lin An didn't know whether to look at the expression of the man who was determined to hurt her for the second time, or to look at the little finger that was about to be separated from her.

She should struggle, at least Damon wanted her to struggle so the knife wouldn't be so heavy in his hand.But she didn't, she just looked at him with a pale face in disbelief, such a surprised expression showed her stupidity of no progress.

The knife finally fell, and it was deeply embedded in the table, looking firm and unshakable. ——And at the moment when the knife fell, the big hand that was holding it tightly suddenly withdrew Lin's small hand that was placed on the table.The blade fell through.

Lin An looked at Damon's big hand still holding his left arm.

This is their best ending.

There was a slight breeze, and the figure flashed by. Damon looked around vigilantly, but was suddenly thrown out!And Lin An didn't even see a third person entering the house.

Lin An looked over in shock, and Damon fell into the wreckage of tables and chairs behind him.When the stake was almost driven into Damon's heart, Lin An came back to his senses and shouted, "Cole!"

Cole stopped and looked up.Lin An pursed his lips tightly and looked at him.

Cole finally let go, curled his lips, "If Klaus knew, he must have died worse."

Lin An didn't answer. Damon has stood up from the mess.

"Mrs. Anderson didn't invite you in," Damon said.But then he figured it out again.

Sure enough, Cole proudly shook a small transparent glass bottle in his hand, which contained a bright red liquid—Lin An's blood.

Damon turned to look at her.Lin An didn't look back, "Where's Klaus?" she asked Cole.This is all she cares about.

The author has something to say: Thank you Xiaohua for everyone, and I will write another chapter in the afternoon.
