[Comprehensive British and American] The Wizard of Cullen's House

Chapter 61 (Hostages)

In a house on the outskirts of London that looks like it has a certain age.

"Xiali, you should lie down and go to sleep." Wearing a silk nightgown, Hejia Meili gently knocked on the wide open door of her two sons' rooms.

For the first time, Sherlock, who was sitting by the bed, did not obey his mother's words obediently, but raised his eyes and looked at her with eyes of the same color as his mother's.He knew that his behavior was very impolite, and at the same time, he would get disapproving glances from the fat man - but whatever - he desperately needed to know the whole truth now!Sherlock suddenly noticed that Mycroft was also looking at their mother with a pensive expression, oh well, it seems that the two brothers finally have the same opinion on one thing.

"...I know you are all curious..." Hejiameili blinked.

"Then tell us." Sherlock interrupted his mother directly, and for the first time his actions did not receive a reprimand from Mycroft.

Hejiameili sighed, she walked into the room and closed the door, standing in front of the opposite bed of her two sons, not knowing what to say for a moment.She promised Avella that she would not tell Sherlock and Mycroft about the Karen family, but at the same time she also knew her two sons.Knowing that they wouldn't let it go if they didn't get the answers they wanted today, she wasn't so worried about Mycroft, what she was really worried about was Sherlock.

Thinking about it this way, if Sherlock hadn't insisted on cracking the cases created by those vampires, she wouldn't have written to the Karen family because of this.

"The only thing I can tell you is that they have no ill intentions toward us." Hejiameili said after turning his mind a hundred times.

Sherlock frowned fiercely: "I didn't mean that, Mommy." His tone was very strange, and his voice jumped out of his throat in circles as if he had heard something shocking, "Who are they? Come here What is it for? And I don't think I need to remind you - my dear Mummy - that there have been many disappearances in Hounslow since they came! Quite unlike the previous cases, those people have not yet Find—one of them is my math teacher!" Thinking of this, Sherlock jumped out of bed and spun around like an ant in a hot pot, "They can live their ordinary lives perfectly, but it's still impossible to escape. The expressions on their faces when they are drinking black tea or eating cake..."

"Expression?" Hejia Meri narrowed his eyes.

"Frown! Mommy, they're frowning!" Sherlock jumped in front of his mother.Then all his movements stopped abruptly, and he became more cautious when looking at Hejia Meri.

Mycroft frowned. From his vantage point, he saw his dearest mommy and brother confronting each other—an image that made him feel very uncomfortable.But just when he was about to go up, Mycroft was startled by Sherlock who suddenly jumped up and took two steps back, three steps and two steps, rushed onto the bed and grabbed the quilt and covered him. A series of actions in one go without any hesitation.And the voice he wanted to reprimand him was stuck in his throat. Mycroft looked at his mother, and he saw her showing a sly smile.

Poor Charlie, Mycroft felt sad in his heart for Sherlock to see his mother pretending to be pitiful.

"Mycroft?" Hejiameili softly signaled her eldest son to go to bed obediently before she made any moves. Mycroft obviously didn't have Sherlock's rebellious psychology, so he only persisted under his mother's gaze. In two seconds, he returned to the bed and lay down obediently.

Hejia Meri nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time sighed from the bottom of his heart.

She could understand that her two sons didn't like being kept in the dark, but don't think she didn't notice that they had guessed who the Karen family was—even if they never let her have a hint of suspicion. They watched Karen's house, but they couldn't escape her mother's eyes.She knew they were only missing a gap in confirmation: from Karen's, or from her.

Moreover, if she had noticed the observations of Sherlock and Mycroft, then it was impossible for the vampires of the Karen family not to notice, especially Avella.Hejiameili didn't know why he paid more attention to Elvira than the rest of the Karen family. Maybe this woman was the first to come to Hounslow, and she also represented the two people who were present at the time to negotiate with her. .She can feel the familiar dialogue from Avella...or torture skills, she can quietly get the information she wants through dialogue with others.

When Hejiamei was still afraid of them because of their racial nature, she got a lot of words from her.

Mrs. Holmes left the room after examining her two sons one last time.

Sherlock lifted the quilt covering his head a little bit, and only lifted one corner, and then he suddenly stared wide-eyed and remained motionless - a pair of large-sized shoes stood in his sight, and those feet that were standing on the head of the bed The top of the cabinet was motionless.Even if he didn't look up, he could still feel the cold eyes of the man who looked at him from a condescending angle. A feeling that was not unfamiliar to him but even more terrifying rose from the bottom of his heart, which made his breath become more cautious.

Even if he knew it was useless.

He could feel the coldness coming from his waist through the quilt, and before he could twist his body to escape, the severe pain hit his kneecap violently, and a hand also covered his mouth at the same time to prevent him from shouting.

Sherlock's back was instantly covered with cold sweat.

"They taste good." A woman's voice, with a drawn-out tone and a sweet tone that made Sherlock feel uncomfortable.

"You want to bite them?" Sherlock felt his stomach hit something very hard, and the feeling of blood congestion in his brain made him realize that he was being resisted by a vampire on his shoulder.But for this matter, he cared more about what the two vampires said, they wanted to bite them.But this idea just flashed by, and before he had constructed an event system in his mind, violent tremors and nausea suddenly hit him.

Then there was a thick darkness.

Avella and Edward were moving gently against the wall. Although the Confusion Charm seemed to be very easy to use, Avella didn't expect that there would still be some restrictions.Because if she wanted to spread their scent throughout the town like the wizard vampire in the dark, she would have to make sure they cast a Confusion Charm every mile or so.

"Hey!" Avella and Edward stopped at the same time and looked behind them. In fact, they already knew that there were people following them behind them—and the number was not small.

"Are you outsiders?" A yellow-haired man in the lead put his hands on his waist, raised his chin slightly, and raised a provocative arc at the corners of his mouth, without concealing his purpose.

Avella took a step aside and looked at Edward, who also turned his head and looked down at her slightly.

"The little beauty is scared? We're not afraid, we're not bad people." The man with the yellow hair still smiled with malicious intent.

Avella blinked her eyes and didn't speak, but her hand gently grabbed Edward's clothes corner.Edward didn't speak either, but turned his body slightly to block Avella's body.

Their silence didn't make the other party feel scared or feel guilty, but instead made the yellow-haired guy in the lead pace and approach them with the people behind him.Edward and Avella retreated slowly with their footsteps, until they retreated into the alley and the two of them were surrounded by the group of people in front of them.Avella looked back at the expressionless men standing behind her, and frowned.

(The magic power fluctuates, it might be nearby.) Avella looked at the yellow-haired man who didn't move after he surrounded them in a circle. It seemed that only this man hadn't been captured.

"What do you want?" Edward looked at the man with yellow hair and said.

(Did you smell something?) Avella frowned suddenly, and turned her face to the street.Although Edward was standing in front of her, he looked in the same direction as her very tacitly—then the two disappeared in place at the same time, leaving behind the man whose legs gave way and fell to the ground after they left.

James and Victoria pressed Sherlock and Mycroft as soon as they stepped into the suburb of Hounslow, they stopped suddenly and turned around vigorously, standing back to back with Victoria tacitly, they bent their knees Slightly lowered their waists and looked at the person who appeared opposite them.Avella supported the tree trunk with one hand, her warm golden eyes stared at the long strip of quilt carried by James on his shoulders, and then moved to James' face.

"Sorry, I just met you on your shoulder, can you put him down?" As soon as Avella finished speaking, Carlisle and Esme had already stood behind her, and behind Edward, Alice and Jas Pa also showed up.

"He's my prey." James' tongue touched his upper lip lightly.

Elvira pursed her lower lip. Her motionless staring at James kept him on guard, but at the same time she secretly exerted force on her hands.

"Hmm..." The muffled groan, which is absolutely impossible for humans to hear, was easily caught by the vampire. Avella frowned, she didn't dare to move, and James still had Sherlock in his hand.He could crush Sherlock's waist on the spot if he wanted to.

James narrowed his eyes and looked at Avella inexplicably: "These two children are very important to you." He stood up slowly, then shook the quilt with his hand, and directly put the child on his shoulder fell down.

Avella's move forward was stopped by James abruptly, and Sherlock was smashed to the ground face down.While Elvira and James started to act, Edward, Jasper, and Alice also rushed towards Victoria who was carrying McCoff, and Edward, who was always very fast, successfully sent Victoria, who wanted to bite McCoff. Brutely knocked out.Alice followed closely behind him to catch McCoff, and withdrew from the battlefield in a flash.

On the other side, because James was trapped by the joint efforts of Avella and Jasper, Sherlock was also carefully hugged by Carlisle.

Avella kicked James in the stomach, and then quickly retreated with Jasper to the front of Carlisle and Esme, blocking each other.

Avella only glanced at James who stood up, and looked at Edward with a gloomy expression.

"Mrs. Holmes, their target is her." Edward said expressionlessly.
