stay together, down

This is really a wonderful causal cycle. Lin An lived back in Michaelson's mansion in New Orleans, but unlike the natural process of plants' alternate reincarnation, she is more like a cargo, which is transferred mechanically without thinking.

Waking up at dawn, the room has the light dampness full of water in the morning.Klaus was sleeping beside her, his body slightly arched, slightly on guard, as if ready to leap at any moment.Lin An stared at his face that had stopped growing in the morning light, overlapping with another face that had been burned in the flames.Lin An closed his eyes and whispered, "Why didn't you die?"

The man's drooping eyelashes trembled, and his curved body seemed to become even tighter.

Lin An didn't see it. She remembered the last words Cole said to her. He said: "Remember, I never said those words. If you want to, love him!" Lin An didn't understand at the time, but now he knows Then it hurt even more.

Cole was talking about his self-assertive mind control over Lynn when they left New Orleans, telling her to let go of the feelings that made you sad and love yourself.

So Lin An really thought that he had gained the ability to let go, that the wounds and lesions would heal without medicine, and that he could set off again with a brand new and beautiful fantasy about this world.

But Lin An forgot that Cole never forced her to do anything.He was such a wanton and paranoid person who could do whatever he wanted anytime, anywhere, but he never made any demands on her.He just knew what she wanted at that time, what she wanted in her heart: an opportunity, a way out, a ray of dawn in a closed and desperate situation.

He gave it to her.

But they were driven by fate to go back and forth, recurring inescapable nightmare.She struggled and ran around, with nowhere to hide.Cole, however, saw once again the wavering of her fear.He said, if you want, love him!Before he died, he endured the severe pain of his heart being burned, paving the way for her again!

Lin An covered her heart, tears welled up, how could her current pain compare to his just in case!She should pay for the suffering and pain of the rest of her life!

……

When he first arrived in the city, Klaus used the house as a symbol of his absolute power.At that time, Marcel occupied and ruled here.Then, the ancestor family arrived, and the building collapsed overnight, turning it into a battlefield.

To a certain extent, even to an absolute extent, Marcel’s resentment is understandable: wherever the original family goes, threats and killings follow.

Lin An still remembered that when he first came to this house, it was grand and empty.And now it's crowded—Hayley is here to provide sanctuary for the last of her pack of werewolves who didn't choose Kathy and her moonlight ring.Of course, everyone knew that Kathy, the harvest festival girl like Davina, was the ancestor of witches, Klaus's mother, Esther.

Under the tree in the courtyard, Lin Anan sat in the gazebo made of layers of leaves. The sunlight penetrated through the leaves, illuminating the veins of the leaves very clearly.Those are the blood vessels of trees, and green fluid like blood from another world circulates in them.

It was close to noon, and the sky was blue to transparent.Two young strange men walked into the courtyard carrying a rectangular dining table full of delicacies, acting strangely and quietly.

Lin An watched silently, but their actions were not reflected in the brain, and the nervous system could not receive and analyze the image information it saw.Until the two young men put down the dining table and returned the same way, Lin Jingjing's sitting posture did not move a single bit.

Hailey walked down the stairs and was the first to see the extra sumptuous dining table in the middle of the courtyard. "Which chef did you hypnotize here?" she asked.I guessed in my heart that Klaus had prepared lunch for Lin An. Although Lin An was sitting under a tree not far from her, they had nothing to say between them.It was Klaus she was asking.

Klaus walked over quickly, holding an extra blanket in his hand, and stopped in front of Lin An to wrap her up.Then he looked up to answer Hailey's question: "I used to do this, but it's none of my business."

The sudden warmth almost stained Lin An's tears, and she couldn't help thinking that it was because of her greed for this warmth, her hesitation and lingering that caused Cole's death here.She couldn't help thinking this way, he was the most free, both physically and mentally.She shamelessly tied him down.He never said what he was looking for, so she felt at ease as if she didn't know anything...

Klaus looked at Lin An's eyes that quickly filled with water, as if the pain was unbearable, and it would burst down at any time.After waking up, she didn't mention Cole again, like an ostrich buried in self-deception, once she asked, everything came true.

"So..." Haili tried to break the awkward and dull atmosphere, "It's not you, then I think we should thank Elijah."

"It has nothing to do with me, either," Elijah replied.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound of "dangdang" from the cold and lustrous silver lid on the dining table, as if there was something alive inside the dinner plate for people to eat.All three showed suspicious expressions.Klaus stretched out his hand and opened the cover, and two black birds flew out of it, leaving a white letter on the plate. ——

Dinner. Your Home. 8pm.

An invitation from their mother.Elegant and beautiful cursive fonts, just like the gorgeous fonts that Lin An saw on the invitation card of Esther's return party in Mystic Falls last time.

Esther's invitations were never good, and they had to do more than just kill her.Esther is proficient in the art of possession, and what they killed was just a shell, which could not prevent her from being reborn in another witch's body.Taking a step back, even if they successfully killed Esther, as the power of the ancestor of witches, they can still drive other witches to continue to fight against them in another world.

It's like an unbreakable dead end.

A dead end doesn't mean you can sit still. Elijah plans to seek the help of a witch, at least to let them know who Esther will possess next time.

Like werewolves, witches have their own group, and the current witch group is under the leadership of Esther, so it is not easy to find a witch who is willing to cooperate.But they all knew that there was a little witch in Marcel who was out of Esther's control.

The afternoon sun was just right, and Hong curled up on a large and soft sofa to bask in the sun.Almost completely sunken inside, it looked like a cub dozing in the sun.But no matter what, she couldn't hide her unusually pale face.

The appearance of Elijah seems to be expected by Marcel.At that time, Marcel was still working hard to re-organize his vampire community. Gia was a newborn vampire he had chosen. Marcel wanted Elijah to be Gia's mentor, trying to make Elijah Ya finally chose to stand on his side.

But Elijah isn't here for Marcel or his vampires, "I'm looking for a witch who will cooperate."

Marcel looks at the girl on the sofa.Of course Hong overheard their conversation, and in fact as soon as Elijah showed up, she knew he was coming for her.It was later than she expected, she thought Klaus would kill yesterday.But it was within Hong's expectation that she didn't come, of course it was because of that poor boy.

If Hong does not speak, Marcel will not agree or refuse for her.Just saying, "You're going to pit her against Esther! She's just a kid." Slightly condemning.But Marcel is very clear that the girl in front of him is by no means a child who cannot protect herself.

Hong understands Marcel's psychology very well. Maybe he has his own principles and good intentions, but just like the superficial peace he and Klaus are currently maintaining, anything can be broken.When the fragile peace is broken, he will hope that her strength can be his aid.

"If you want to be a hero, Marcel, that's up to you!" Elijah habitually tidied up his shirt cuffs with extreme elegance. "But let me remind you, Marcel, she just killed Cole! My brother! And you, Marcellus! If I knew, she resurrected our father and killed Cole. relation……"

"What about you? Are you going to kill me, my people? Go in line first! Witches hate us, and werewolves can kill us at any time. Now I have to risk my life if I want to enter the French area! And I used to run the French Quarter! Now that Michael is back, the vampire who hunts vampires, do you really think it's good for me?"

It has to be said that the return of the ancestral family instantly deprived Marcel of everything he once owned, but Marcel's rule in the French Quarter was also based on driving and killing werewolves, and there was no winner in this disaster.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the autumn sun is warm.Hong leaned on the back of the sofa, her headache was splitting from their constant argument, and the backlash of forcibly regaining her strength was more serious than she expected.He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and patted the armrests on both sides of the sofa with both hands.

"Bang!" The glass in Marcel's hand shattered, and the liquid splashed on Marcel and Elijah's neat suit jacket.

Without waiting for any reaction from the two of them, the little girl who caused the chaos groaned, and bright red blood overflowed from the corners of her lips.His face was pale and almost transparent under the sun.

"Kill me to avenge your lovely brother, now is the best time." Because of his weakness, his voice was no longer clear and clear with a smile, "You can tell Klaus, don't worry about Lin An, between me and her His connection is only 'one-way'. Therefore, killing me will have no effect on his baby. If he wants to come, I will accompany him at any time! Or you want to try it yourself!"

"Enough!" Marcel moved behind Hong, stretched out his hand to caress the girl's back, "...Gia, take Elijah to our friend Lenore." In the end, Marcel let go.At least for now, witches and werewolves are their common enemies.

Hong has closed her eyes again, leaning her body slightly back and sitting in the overly wide seat, motionless.It looks the same as it did before Elijah came in.

Elijah stared deeply at the girl in front of him. No one would associate such a thin and innocent child with the killer.Finally he said, "You don't know Cole, you haven't even met him. So maybe I should ask: Who ordered you to kill Cole?"

"Mr. Elijah Michaelson, like you, I never take orders from anyone. I killed Cole in exchange for something I wanted."

The sun shone warmly and comfortably on her body, and the girl pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.She didn't even open her eyes, her little head rested comfortably on the back of the chair.

"And what I want will definitely surprise you!"
