stay together, down

It was impossible to tell the time, and the room was always dark.The whole house seemed to be enveloped in cold wind and never-moving darkness.Hong followed behind Elijah, and the weak candlelight of the seven candlesticks he held in his hand could only illuminate a small distance around him.

They seem to be going around in circles, pushing open one door after another, repeating the monotonous extension without end.Hong walked more and more slowly, feeling infinitely tired.The thin clothes were swollen by the wind, but she gradually felt burning all over from the cold, her forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat, and her breathing gradually became heavy.

"You know, if this is your dream, maybe it's because you don't want to go out that we've been stuck in the same place." Hong spoke, her voice hoarse.

Elijah stopped, turned around and looked down at the girl in front of him under the dim light of the candle.Different from her immature and frail appearance, which makes it difficult for people to raise their guards, her dark and bright eyes will reveal a calmness that does not match her age.But when she laughed, there was only childlike innocence and shyness left.For those who are not familiar with it, it is difficult to discover all the essence hidden in her.

Elijah looked away from looking down and quickly scanned the room they were in now. "I thought you didn't believe what I said," he said.

Seeing that he was no longer walking, Hong picked up a seat beside him and sat down to rest.She made no secret of her weakness and fatigue at this time. "You know as well as I do that this is not your personal dream, but Esther's tailor-made... fantasy for you." Saying this, Hong smiled, "What I want to know more is that I suddenly appeared here Just by chance, or...you know, someone's terrible plot."

With a childlike and immature expression, he pretended to be serious and discussed conspiracy theories with a thousand-year-old ancestor. Even though Elijah already knew the power of the girl in front of him, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Before you came, you should have known that this is a city full of conspiracy and killing." Elijah turned around and said to her.

The man turned his back to block part of the candlelight, his red face was hidden in the darkness, and she raised the corners of her mouth. "I know, so this place is suitable for me." Elijah heard the girl behind him say this.

The candlelight hit his face, and there was a faint heat, and he couldn't help frowning.In fact, Elijah seldom frowned. Over the past 1000 years, almost all of his energy was devoted to solving the problems of Klaus and the family. There were very few unexpected people and things about the family that could affect his emotions.

At this moment, sporadic voices and light footsteps came from the other side of the door panel of the room.

Hong stood up, exchanged glances with Elijah, and took the lead to walk to the closed door on the right front.

The sudden light was too bright, and the eyes of the two who had been seeing things in the dark for a long time could not adapt, and they were blind for a moment.Then gradually clear.

A clean and bright room, completely different from the dark and oppressive room just now.There are several people standing in the middle of the living room, Hong and Elijah are no strangers.But under such circumstances, the sudden encounter cannot but make people suspicious.

"Barbie?!" Hong heard someone shout in surprise.

Only one person she knew called her that.Kai.

Hong saw the look of bewilderment, even surprise, on his face.She is very familiar with this face. She has faced this face that has stopped growing in the cage of time for 13 years.But it is not common for him to have a red face at this moment.Kai is good at finding pleasure from all he knows and sees. If he feels a surprise, it must be because the surprise can satisfy some of his interests, not because he really likes the person who brought the surprise.

And the person standing in front of him now, his eyes and raised mouth revealed his true joy.Let Hong feel strange.It seemed that there was still a feeling that she couldn't describe, that she had never had before, was stirring in her heart.

Hong suppressed this feeling, looked around, and seeing Bonnie, Elena was already rushing to the dining room connected to the living room.Seeing the figure sitting at the dining table clearly, Hong narrowed his eyes.It was Damon who was trapped in the empty prison by her.

Bonnie looked warily at Hong and Elijah who broke in suddenly. Although the latter looked as if they had just experienced a bloody slaughter, it was obvious that Bonnie was more afraid of the petite and well-behaved girl.

However, Hong didn't seem to see Bonnie's defense at all, and Hong was not surprised that Bonnie didn't die. She had long recognized the tenacious and vigorous vitality of this group of people.Just an irrelevant person, so Hong didn't even waste effort to kill her in the first place.

"Where is this?" Hong asked, this is the question she is most concerned about now.

"Wait, can you see me? See us? You...uh, you," Kay pointed to Elijah behind him, "You also came here from your soul?"

"Tell me first, where is this, Kay?"

"It's a pity you don't even recognize the place we've lived together for years, Barbie," Kay replied.

Hong frowned suspiciously, in 1994?Void Prison?

Seeing Kai's nod in affirmation, a stern look flashed between his red eyebrows, "Why are you here?" And he did not hesitate to use a powerful spell that separates the soul from the body.There is only Damon left in this space, and there is no value in turning him back. "I don't believe they can coerce you!" The girl glanced at Bonnie, Elena, and Damon who couldn't see them.

Hong looked at Kai with guilt in disbelief. "I promised Bonnie to help them out, Damon. I'm sorry, I know you..."

"What did you say?!" Hong interrupted Kai and asked softly.

"I'm very sorry……"

"...you never apologize..." Hong lowered her head so that no one could see the expression on her face, and her voice was so soft that no emotion could be heard.

Then there was a long silence, and the voice of Elena calling Damon affectionately became the background, and no one paid attention.

Elijah sensed that the girl's emotions were very wrong. It seemed that the boy called Kay's answer suddenly aroused some tyranny hidden in her body. She stood with her head down not far in front, inexplicably giving people a The loneliness of being abandoned.Elijah couldn't help walking towards the girl.

But before he got close, the girl moved!She raised her head suddenly, her eyes were dark and bright, and she stared straight at Kay.

"Kay never apologizes!" Hong snapped.The right hand swung out, and the powerful force instantly knocked Kai's body into the air, slammed into the wall behind him heavily, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Hong, who ran away in anger, didn't realize that Kai's soul was injured under the blow, and the spell was interrupted. They had returned from the void prison in 1994.

Kai got up from the floor and reached out his hand to wipe away the nosebleed that didn't know when.It was impossible to tell whether the magic needed for the spell was too powerful, or it was caused by Hong's violent attack.

But Hong didn't give him time to breathe, and the magic attack came suddenly.Kai was caught by this force and lifted up his throat, his body lifted off the ground bit by bit, his cheeks swelled purple due to suffocation.With his current strength, it's not impossible to break free from Hong's grasp, but he didn't resist at all, his body was suspended in the air, his eyes were lowered with difficulty, and he looked at the girl in front of him with sorrowful pity.

Hong was so stimulated by Kai's eyes that he almost lost control.She never cared about the eyes of others, fear, disdain, or disgust, it has nothing to do with her.If you don't like it, you can strangle it.

But Kai is different!They have lived together for 13 years, and they are enemies who know each other best, and they can understand all the intentions of each other even with a glance.The relationship between them is chasing and fighting, but there will never be any guilt or pity!

He is not Kai at all!

This conclusion made Hong extremely angry, and even a stronger feeling of strangeness rolled deep in her heart.Red didn't know that this feeling was fear.She just felt that her hands and even her body were trembling, and this trembling was even more difficult to control than facing Kai when she had no magic in the Void Prison.

"Who are you! Where is Kai?!!" Hong raised his arms high, using his hands as claws to tightly restrain Kai's neck.She felt the fishy heat in her nose, and her current body did not allow her to use magic for a long time.But she doesn't care.She didn't even have time to think about it, the murderer who repeatedly killed her disappeared, why did she have such a violent reaction?

"No!" Elena rushed to try to stop Hong, Kay was their only hope to rescue Damon.But it was easily restrained by Elijah.

"Kay! Her current body can't support such a powerful magic at all. If you don't resist, she will die of exhaustion!" In such a chaotic situation, Bonnie was almost the only one who could calmly deal with it.And hit the nail on the head, hit the nail on the head.

Elijah was also very calm, but he didn't understand the situation in front of him, he just subconsciously ensured that no one else would get close to the girl who suddenly went berserk.

Kay saw the scarlet blood dripping from between the red noses, dripping onto the floor.Finally, he raised his arm slightly and murmured softly, "I'm sorry..."

Hong immediately felt that his chest was hit with force, and with a muffled grunt, he fell backwards.

Elijah let go of Elena, approached in an instant, and caught the girl's fallen body in good time.

Kai fell to the ground again, gasping for breath.

Hong was also weak and panting very badly, and could hardly stand on her own.

The fighting stopped, and the room suddenly became abnormally quiet. Occasionally, there was a crackling sound from the burning flame in the fireplace, and time seemed to freeze.Elijah silently stared at the girl's bloodless face. Unlike the previous paleness, she seemed to have been suddenly drawn out of life, or the last point of her stubborn persistence had been taken away by someone... The whole person revealed a thick gray firmness. Astringent breath.

After accumulating enough strength, Hong slightly broke away from Elijah's support, and stood up straight by herself.

"Give you a chance to survive, tell me where is Kai?" It seemed that he had already stubbornly determined that the person in front of him would not be him.So Hong no longer asked who he was, but a place and a direction.

Kai also stood up, and he took a step towards Hong.But it was only one step, his approach made the man beside Hong tense instantly, and Kai stopped in his undisguised state of preparation for battle.

Although Hong stood firm by herself, Elijah didn't move away, almost clinging to her shoulders, as if ready to take over the girl's weak body at any time.

Of course Kay knew Elijah, the Michelson family, the original vampires.But Elijah wasn't his focus right now.

"I'm Kay! Barbie!" Kay said solemnly, looking at Hong's flickering eyes and repeated, "I'm Kay!"

Kay explained his reasons for the change.He successfully merged with Luke, won, absorbed Luke's magic, and became the leader of the powerful Twin Wizards.Everything is going the way he wants it to be, which is amazing.But he didn't know that when the twin wizards merged, they would absorb some characteristics of each other at the same time.And now, he's being transformed and controlled by certain traits of Luke's personality.He's full of guilt for killing Luke and ruining Liv's life.I can't even control myself to be inspired by the misfortune of others.

He doesn't look like him anymore.

Hong listened quietly, her face getting paler and paler, but cold and expressionless.She felt a cool touch on her face, raised her hand to touch it, and touched the wetness of her hand.Hong stretched out her hand in front of Elijah, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Elijah looked at her straight, like looking at a mutilated delicate puppet.He couldn't answer.

Kay looked at her wet cheeks, "That's tears, Barbie." He said, "When I tried to write down my guilt and crimes, my eyes did the same thing, puddles of water inexplicably. The water came from My eyeballs are overflowing like I'm an alien who defecates liquid..."

Hong didn't respond, more like not hearing at all.

Kai paused for a moment, then took a serious look at the girl in front of him again, "You have grown taller, and..."

His voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had cut it off with a sharp weapon.Then he discovered that it was not his voice that was cut off, but his body.His abdomen was pierced by a piece of metal, and the bright red blood instantly soaked through the thin white T.He saw clearly that it was a golf club.

Hong gathered her fingers together and watched quietly. "You're not Kay," she said softly.

Yes, she grew taller and started to grow normally.Because in this real world, her stagnant time reflows.Only he noticed her change, and he was the only one.But he is not Kay.

When she and Kai walked out of the closed void, they just stepped into another form of imprisonment.And she didn't realize it until now.

But this is a choice. They choose to jump into this other cage, and they must each bear the consequences of this choice.

Elijah saw Hong's movement, but it was too late to stop it, or he didn't want to stop it.He just stretched out his hand to cover the girl's moist, darker and brighter eyes.
