silent in the black lake

Chapter 18 That Night

"Father! Don't want me! Don't abandon me!" In the dark, I suddenly heard a child crying. He cried very sadly.

The sound seemed to be approaching me, getting louder and clearer, and the crying of the child made my heart tighten even more, until the sound of the crying child pierced my eardrums, and I opened my eardrums. Eye

Immediately, my ears were filled with the sound of chaotic and howling wind, and my eyes were filled with a child with white hair and purple eyes, crying bitterly, rushing towards me. He rushed towards me and still didn't stop, just hitting me straight

The next moment he passed through my body, my vision went dark, and the sound in my ear disappeared suddenly, and when there was sound again, it was the deafening clanging of bells and whistling wind

I opened my eyes, and what I saw was a dark, moonless night sky

The body suddenly sat up automatically, I heard the sound of sobbing, and I could feel the hot tears on my face, and suddenly my body began to move by itself

'I' got up, turned around, and I realized that behind me was a huge clock that was shaking constantly. I remembered that this clock was the clock on the tall building in front of the palace castle.

'I' suddenly stood in front of the big clock, jumped up suddenly, lay down on the shaking big clock, opened my arms, hugged the big clock tightly with hands and feet

Only then did I realize that the line of sight of 'I' standing there was less than half of the clock. The clock was hung very low, and the line of sight was shorter than the clock. I immediately understood that it was the child's line of sight.

Suddenly the big bell made another heavy clang, causing 'I' who was lying on the bell to let go of my hands and fell to the ground. I lay on the cold ground, curled up and covered my ears tightly. At the same time, I was dizzy and had ringing in my ears.

The bell that hit the soul made me suddenly recall that this was when I was ten years old, and this was the saddest and most memorable day when I was ten years old

News came from outside the Heavenly Palace that my father, the king of the human kingdom, had died at the hands of hostile vampires, and my elder brother was also seriously injured in the battle and was rescued by the guard knights dying.

That battle was an overwhelming victory, and the human race suffered a disastrous defeat, almost annihilating the entire army

That time the vampires seemed to be planning to annihilate the human kingdom in one fell swoop, so they dispatched the army instead of fighting with us in small groups like before

It was also the time when we realized that vampires had always taken an indifferent and lazy attitude towards us, and it was also the time when humans once again experienced the power of vampires

'I' curled up for a long time and suddenly got up, lying on the clock face tremblingly, digging the simple patterns on the clock face with my hands, climbing up little by little

I remembered, 'I' did this to open the skylight in the dome, it's just above the left of the clock, and I can reach it if I climb to the top of the clock

That skylight allows 'I' to climb outside, there is the top of the clock tower, the highest place in the entire human kingdom, and it is also the place closest to heaven

"Father, I still have a lot of things I haven't told you." 'I' cried while climbing. Although there are raised patterns on the surface of the big clock, it is also very smooth. more and more unstoppable

Suddenly a pain came from the fingertips, and I found that the nail cover of 'my' was completely turned over, and a piece of flesh and blood underneath was exposed, and blood began to drip down

The severe pain of the ten fingers connected to the heart is still unforgettable to me, but 'I' is still holding the big clock tightly, and tears are streaming down my face from the pain, but I am biting my lip, and continue to hold on to the pattern and climb up little by little

"Father, didn't you say you would never leave me?" 'I' cried out, my voice cracked with pain, "Didn't you say you would always grow up with me?"

"Father, ah! Oh, father, I'm in so much pain" Another fingernail of 'I' was overturned, 'I' trembled all over, my arms were weak, and I slid straight down on the clock face, finally Shaken by the big clock, thrown to the ground

"Father, didn't you say you would always be by my side?" 'I' curled up on the ground, hugged my knees tightly, and hot tears flowed down my eyelids to the ground

After a long time, 'I' got up tremblingly again, and climbed up the big clock again. The clock face was covered with bloodstains by 'I'. 'I' took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and moved steadily towards climb up

Whenever the big clock shakes to the highest point, 'I' will take advantage of the slightly flat clock face to lie forward and upward, and when the big clock shakes to the lowest point, 'I' will hold the big clock tightly and wait , little by little, patiently, steadily, 'I' finally climbed to the top of the big clock

'I' jumped over and hugged the hemp rope that hung the big clock, stepped firmly on my feet, tiptoed and stretched out my hands to reach the skylight

Fortunately, the skylight is not very far from the big clock, 'I' quickly grabbed the edge of the skylight, swung myself under the skylight, and pushed myself up with a sudden force, and immediately the edge of the skylight was caught by 'I' Contaminated with blood that keeps flowing

'I' slowly climbed to the top, found a slightly stable place and sat down, in front of my eyes were the lights of thousands of families under the night sky, and behind me was the brightly lit imperial palace still shining silver in the dark night

This is the highest place in the kingdom, where you can see the entire human kingdom, but you can't see the figure of your father

"Father, why are you going to fight?" 'I' looked into the dark sky and asked crying, "Why did you go when you knew you couldn't fight?"

"Isn't it good for us to be together, is it not good for us to escape to a place where vampires can't find it?" 'I' trembled, "Go to a place where only us are, and be together forever, father"

"Father, come back, I will be obedient, I will be obedient, I will never deliberately make you unhappy again, and I will never play with your crown again."

"I will work hard to learn how to ride a horse, and I will learn to fight with the knight uncle. I will not be lazy or fight anymore. Will you come back, father, as long as you come back, I will listen to you in everything."

'I' cried for a long time, and roared again: "Father, you are a liar, you lied to me, you said you would come back soon, you said you would teach me how to ride a horse when you come back, why do you fight because of others, Why would you leave me for someone else?"

"Father is an idiot! I don't want to hear a single word of praise for you! What is the pillar of mankind, what is fighting for human freedom, what is the inheritor of the spirit of the Stuart family, it is all nonsense! Nonsense!"

"What throne! What freedom! What inheritance! I don't want anything! I just want you to come back alive! Father! Come back to me! Come back to me!!"

'I' yelled at the top of the dark night sky, but the voice was quickly drowned in the wind, and disappeared at the highest point of this human kingdom

'I' cried and shouted and shouted so persistently, until the lights of thousands of houses in front of me became sparse and dim, 'I' was tear-stained and groped towards the skylight with a tired face

Seeing the dark blob of bright red on the edge of the skylight, my heart tightened, and I remembered that it was that blob of blood that made me face death once

But 'I' still leaned towards the edge of the skylight, no matter how I tried to stop the shouting, 'I' didn't stop

'I' groped to the edge of the skylight, and stepped on the ball of blood without accident, although it was dry, but because it was a semi-circular roof, 'I' slipped, and immediately fell on the roof, along The dome roof slid all the way down

'I' wanted to grab any raised place indiscriminately, but the silver covering on the surface of the building was so smooth and flat, 'I' kicked vigorously on any supportable place under my feet, but it still kept sliding down to the roof. edge

"Help..." 'I' suddenly opened my eyes wide and shouted loudly, but the voice was immediately lost in the whistling wind, and the next moment I watched 'my' hand detached from the edge of the roof

There is the sound of wind piercing the air beside my ears, my heartbeat is so fierce that it is about to come out, and the sky is pitch black in front of me. I don’t know if there is really a heaven above the clouds, and I also know that I didn’t really die this time. But I still reach out to the sky like 'me'

"Father....." I heard 'I' calling softly, "Don't...leave me"

The field of vision expanded rapidly, the sound of the wind in my ears became shrill and piercing, and the feeling of falling made me suffocate even more. 'I' closed my eyes in despair, and I fell into darkness, but I did not despair, but rather looked forward to it

Because this night is also the time when Raymond and I met

Suddenly the sound of the wind stopped, the feeling of falling subsided, 'I' fell into a cold embrace, 'I' closed my eyes tightly, my hanging heart was still beating, I felt this strong but different meaning in my chest. Heartbeat, my heart is more and more looking forward to

I slowly raised my eyelids, and I saw a pair of deep, bottomless black eyes in my blurred vision. The expectation in my heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I opened my eyes suddenly, but my heartbeat suddenly stopped. stopped

In front of me is a delicate and resolute pale face, the face of the vampire whose heart was pierced by me, the face that is about to be swallowed by the burning smoke

it's linton's face

How could it be him, I yelled, it was Raymond, how could it be Linton

"I'm...alive" I heard 'I' ask in disbelief, I felt 'I' couldn't take my eyes off his face

He took a deep look at 'me', did not speak, and the surrounding environment suddenly stopped

"Who are you..." 'I' still looked at him intently

He put 'I' down, and only then did 'I' realize that I had reached the ground. Just as 'I' was about to stand up straight, my legs went limp, and I slammed into his abdomen

"I'm sorry" 'I' hurriedly stood up straight, lowered my head, secretly raised my eyes to look at him, and backed away again and again

He has been standing in front of 'me', no movement, no reply

'I' shook hands nervously and subconsciously, but I forgot that my fingers were bloody and bloody, and there were many blood scabs. I screamed in pain immediately, and tears overflowed from my eyes.

He suddenly strode up to 'me', held 'my' hand and raised it

'I' looked at him subconsciously, only to see him lower his head slightly, approaching my hand, open his mouth and put my bloody fingers into his mouth

"I" saw two sharp fangs in his mouth, the "vampire" "I" exclaimed, subconsciously withdrew my hand and stepped back

He suddenly grabbed 'me' by the shoulder, pressed 'me' against his body, held 'my' hand tightly, and gently licked the injured part of 'my' finger

'I' gasped again in pain, and my body trembled, not only because of pain, but also because of fear

This is the first time for 'I' to face a vampire. Before that, 'I' had only seen some bloodthirsty beasts captured by my father, but that was watching from afar

"Don't, don't bite me" 'I' raised my head at a loss, watching him suck my finger with his eyes closed

Probably because he heard 'me' speak, he suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at 'me' lightly, and let go of 'my' finger, "It still hurts?" he asked coldly

'I' was taken aback, and shook my head, it wasn't that 'I' was perfunctory, but 'I' found that the fingertips really didn't hurt much

He let go of 'my' hand, reached out and wiped the corner of my eye, "don't cry if it doesn't hurt" he stared at me and said expressionlessly

'I' nodded involuntarily, and he let go of 'me' completely, turned around and left

'I' subconsciously grabbed his cloak, he also stopped, turned his head and raised eyebrows to look at 'me'

"You...you...don't be angry"'I' tremblingly grabbed his cloak, lowered my head and raised my eyes and looked at him secretly, "I... .I didn't hit you on purpose"

"I'm not angry" he said flatly

'I' slowly let go of his cape and he turned around immediately to leave

'I' took a deep breath, raised my head suddenly and looked at his back and asked: "Then why are you unhappy?"

He paused, turned his head to look at 'me', 'I' immediately lowered his head, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, he walked back slowly in front of 'me', pinched 'me' Chin up, lift 'my' face, just look at it for a while

'I' didn't resist either, just stared blankly at his black eyes full of unknown emotions, as if sunk in

"Aren't you afraid of me?" He stared at 'me' and raised his eyebrows

"Scared" 'I' looked at him subconsciously and honestly answered

"Then why don't you run away?" He slightly parted his lips, as if deliberately showing his sharp fangs, "Aren't you afraid that I will bite you?"

"You're going to bite me, you should have bitten me just now."'I' lowered my head, my body was still trembling with fear, "Thank you for saving me"

"You were talking to your father just now?" he asked suddenly

'I' was startled, and couldn't help but raised my head to look at him, "You, you heard that"

"You love your father very much" he looked at me and said with certainty, "but he left you for someone else, don't you hate him?"

When I mentioned my father, the sadness in my heart suddenly rose again, and my eyes began to heat up again, and hot tears came out of my eyes in a hopeless way.

He suddenly held 'my' jaw, lifted my face, and gently wiped away the hot tears from the corners of 'my' eyes, "don't cry" he looked at my face and said

'I' thought of my father for a moment, remembering that he wiped my tears in the same way, and said to 'me': Don't cry, Jeremy

'I' suddenly had more tears in my eyes, hugged him violently, couldn't control my emotions anymore, and burst into tears, he just let 'me' hug him for a long time without saying a word

"Don't cry" he suddenly touched 'my' hair

But the more he is like this, the more 'I' feel sad, "Father doesn't want me anymore, don't want me anymore" 'I' cried and hugged him tightly

He didn't say anything, just hugged 'me'

'I' just hugged him like this, and told him intermittently, crying about my father, saying whatever I thought of, talking in a mess

He just hugged 'me' quietly, silent, but 'I' knew he was listening carefully, because he would change the frequency of stroking 'my' hair because of 'my' emotional ups and downs

'I' don't know how long I've been talking to him, I only know that I have said all the sad emotions in my heart, until 'I' felt a lot of relief in my heart, 'I' stopped crying, sobbing and relaxing open him

But he didn't let go of 'I', 'I' subconsciously raised my head and looked at him, only to see that his face was still cold, but there seemed to be a bottomless hole in his eyes that he couldn't see. The black lake at the end is rolling with waves, and the waves stir the original darkness even deeper

"I'm sorry to make you unhappy" 'I' was a little embarrassed, and poured out so many emotions to him, regardless of whether he was willing to listen or not

He came back to his senses, let go of me, looked at 'me' for a long time, and said calmly: "I'm not unhappy"

Although he said he was not unhappy, 'I' always felt that he looked very unhappy, and 'I' confided so much to him, it seems that he should vent his bad emotions, which is only fair

So 'I' looked at him and asked: "Well, what were you thinking"

He glanced at me and said coldly, "Nothing."

"I won't tell anyone" 'I' smiled at him, 'I' guessed he was probably not good at talking

He looked at 'me', an unknown emotion suddenly appeared in his black eyes, this emotion made 'me' heart jump, 'I' subconsciously felt that he must have a lot of things to say in his heart

He suddenly stretched out his hand to 'me', as if he wanted to caress my face, but before he touched me, he withdrew his hand again, then took a deep look at me, turned and left

'I' hastened to catch up and grabbed his cloak, but he didn't stop this time, and quickened his pace. 'I' immediately grabbed his cloak, trotted after him, looked at his back and said: " If you don’t talk about unhappy things, you will feel sad if you keep them in your heart.”

'I' also don't know why I am so persistent to let him tell 'me', I think it's probably because he listens to 'me' unconditionally, 'I' shouldn't turn a blind eye to his unhappiness

He still didn't answer 'I', still strode forward without even looking at 'I'

'I' rushed in front of him, opened his arms to stop him, but he just paused, glanced at 'me' lightly, touched my head and walked around 'me'

'I' grabbed his cloak tightly, but he still strode forward steadily, 'I' was dragged forward by his strength, and fell to the ground, although it didn't hurt, but my fingernails scratched, The place where the scab had just scabbed was torn again, and blood overflowed again

He just stopped, turned his head and frowned at 'me'

'I' covered my hands, looked at him and squeezed out a smile, and said: "When sad things pile up in my heart, I will become more and more sad."

He half squatted in front of 'me', pinched 'me' chin and lifted his face, squinted his eyes and stared at 'me', and said quietly: "Are you so self-righteous that I'm afraid I'll kill you?"

"Then, then, why did you save me?" The cold breath on his body made 'I' a little scared at this moment, and I trembled involuntarily

He didn't answer, but kept looking at 'me' with his cloudy black eyes. After a long time, he grabbed my hand, brought it to his mouth, and gently licked the place where 'my' finger overflowed with blood

"I'm not unhappy" He put down 'my' hand and calmly repeated the answer again

"Then what were you thinking just now?" 'I' stared at his deep black eyes, desperately wanting to see clearly the bottom of the black lake in those eyes

"I miss my father" he said looking at 'me' too

At this moment 'I' suddenly had a lot of mixed emotions in my heart, about 'me' and about him, there were many, many clues, I opened my mouth to say something sympathetic, but 'I' found that I was in the same situation So, 'I' thought for a while and wanted to say some words of comfort, but 'I' realized that 'I' couldn't even comfort myself, and had to confide in him

'I' just looked at him in silence, and he also looked at me in silence

'I' seemed to have fallen into his bottomless but full of emotion black eyes, 'I' kept sinking with fear, but when 'my' eyes fell into the dark and lightless lake,' I've just discovered that this lake is full of heavy sadness and persistent longing, and there is also a hint of love

This dead black lake made 'I' almost suffocate, 'I' took a deep breath, rushed to him, and hugged him tightly

His body froze, and he hugged 'me' for a long time. Slowly, he hugged 'me' tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to embrace 'me' into his bones and blood.

"There will be someone who will love you" 'I' said the only comforting words I could think of, as if comforting him or myself

He suddenly let go of me, held my shoulders, stared at me with those black eyes and asked, "Will you love me?"

'I' was slightly stunned, because 'I' saw some ripples in his black eyes, and there was a kind of indescribable expectation. In this daze, 'I' subconsciously replied: "Yes"

His always cold face finally softened a bit, and the surface of the black lake in his eyes seemed to sparkle, he just stared at 'me' and said: "You only love me, okay?"

"Okay" 'I' looked at him and answered subconsciously, and didn't even know why he didn't refuse

He hugged 'me' tightly in his arms again, and repeated with some excitement: "You can only love me, we agreed"

You can only love me, we agreed, Noel

I suddenly remembered that he kept saying this to me. I always thought that when he ordered me, I was forced to agree to him, and he took it seriously, but now my heart is constantly tightening, feeling the tension. Yup, I'm totally in disbelief

Why on earth, I clearly remember that it was Raymond who met me that night, why did it become Linton

I can't help guessing that this is not my memory, but my dream, which was born because I felt guilty about killing Linton

I saw him pick up 'me' and send 'me' back to 'my' room in the blink of an eye

i remember here i asked his name and he told me his name was raymond

"Will you still come to see me?" 'I' asked suddenly as he watched him walking towards the balcony

He turned slightly sideways, gave 'me' a deep look, "Yes" he said, and disappeared after speaking

How is it possible, I couldn't believe it even more, I didn't ask his name, but asked if he would come again

This must be my dream, I kept repeating it in my mind, but then I realized that if 'I' hadn't asked him if he would come again, why would I know later that he would come to me and look forward to it

What the hell is going on, who is he, is it Raymond or Linton

I shouted in my heart, suddenly my eyes went black
