Cheney sat quietly in front of Claire's bed and sat motionless for a long time. He didn't think he was thinking, but just thinking about some things involuntarily.

The people in the whole house became unreasonable, especially Stella, who had almost changed, and Rebecca, who was said to be very scary.Klaus was locked in his room, and Cheney was even more annoyed by Elijah's decadence. Rebecca seemed to have a deep hatred with Klaus, but luckily she didn't deal with Elijah further.But he doesn't need to lock himself in the room all day.

Claire was already very angry, she lost a lot of weight to me, and her whole body was drying up rapidly, her eye sockets and plump cheeks were deeply sunken, except for her bright red lips, her face was frighteningly pale.She was increasingly unable to think about some things, including hallucinations that became more frequent.

Stella did not deny that today would be the end of Claire's life, and they could no longer count on Stella to do anything.What a joke, the girls of the Stuart family originally existed to eliminate unnatural creatures.

"I'm tired." Claire coughed lightly, and she was waking up less and less.

"Then sleep a little longer." Cheney tucked the quilt for her.

"No, don't go." She reached out to grab Cheney's hand, "Mom, is Dad leaving us?" She asked in a timid voice of a little girl.

It is not difficult to see that Claire has entered the hallucination again, and even Klaus' blood cannot relieve the curse on her. These days, the names she calls the most are Mom, Stella, Dad, Cheney ...Of course, Cheney didn't seriously think about whether Claire called his name consciously or hallucinated, it didn't matter, what mattered was that he was in her mind.

"Sleep, you'll be fine, Claire." Cheney stroked Claire's hand, that's all he could do.

"Father, don't leave us..." She cried feebly, panting heavily and opened her arms to Cheney, calling for help, "Cheney, give me some blood, I'm dying of thirst."

Cheney hurriedly helped her up, and handed her a small cup of fresh blood.But as in days, Claire couldn't drink any more blood, she spat it out, staining the floor.

Claire coughed violently and cried, "Where is Stella? Go tell Stella, I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

"Quiet, quiet, Claire." Cheney comforted, rubbing her arm, "I'll get Stella, as long as you lie down and sleep for a while, okay?"

But this time, Claire didn't listen to his reassurance. She looked extremely angry, and jumped off the bed and pressed Cheney against the opposite wall.

"Stella, I'm going to die!" Her eyes turned blood red, and she pinched Cheney's neck and yelled viciously, "You must be very proud, you finally killed me! You kept saying that you would be together forever Claire! You hypocritical bitch!"

"Claire, I'm Cheney!" He could have used witchcraft to stop Claire, but Cheney didn't, he just pulled her hand hard, yelling that she would wake up, "Claire, I'm Cheney, I'm Cheney!"

Then Claire was thrown into the bedding by Elijah who rushed in.This is the second time Elijah saves him, under Claire's attack.

Claire seemed to be awake again, she started to cry, "I shouldn't be so stupid, I really shouldn't try to become a vampire, I was wrong..." She buried her head in the pillow and began to tear her hair, crying bitterly, "Cheney, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Please let this end, please, let me die, I don't want to hurt like this anymore, please..."

"Listen to me, Cheney..."

Elijah was about to say something, but Cheney shook off his hand.He was very angry, not only because of Elijah's behavior in the past few days, but he clearly said that he would try to coordinate this matter after Stella came back.But what did he do?So far, he's just locked himself in his room like a shrinking turtle!

"I just want to help you." Although a little ashamed, Elijah still tried to express his sincerity, "Things have become a little out of control, what do you think?"

"Yeah." Cheney sneered, "Stella turned her closest friend into this, and brought back your dearest little sister. I'm not interested in the grievances between your brothers and sisters at all, I care What did you do? Elijah."

But then they both fell silent.Also looking at the girl standing at the door, she looked very proud and took it for granted, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces as if she didn't want to miss a good show.Even Claire's sobs subsided.

"If you're not here to rescue your poor friend, then please leave." Cheney ordered to evict the guest unceremoniously.

"Everyone seems to be in a bad mood." Stella pouted, looking playfully at Claire who was trembling on the bed, "Oh. Poor Claire, if I don't do something else, she will really It's hopeless."

Her words made Cheney calm down, as if he saw hope again. Maybe Stella didn't really want Claire's life. At that moment, he even wanted to excuse Stella.But he still couldn't express much change, he just stood there in a daze and didn't speak.

"Many people love and hate the Stuart family, isn't that true? Elijah." She looked at Elijah unhurriedly, not at all as if she wanted to save others, her tone More like *, "Let me see, what do you want me to do?"

Elijah looked back at Cheney, not only him, but even Cheney felt strange, but Cheney knew that this matter could not be counted on Elijah at all, and he wanted to say something instead of Elijah.

"What do you want?" Cheney asked.

Stella's smile and expression were unfamiliar to them, but she seemed to be interested in what Cheney said, "Oh, let me think about what you can contribute? You know, I like this very much. Kind of witty style.”

She walked slowly to Claire's bed and looked at her. The girl still looked so perfect, with soft lines and angelic eyes.Her chest was heaving up and down, as if she really needed air, but even so, Claire's breathing was failing.

Stella's hand was stroking Claire with infinite tenderness.Her face and movements are extremely gentle, and her voice is seductive enough, "Claire, dear. You want to get better soon, don't you?"

This vicious tone.But Cheney could only stand there without saying a word. He glanced at Elijah helplessly. Elijah was also paying attention to Stella's actions, and his face even showed confusion, which is the most common on his face these days. It is this kind of dull and confused look.Cheney sneered in his heart, and he refocused on the interaction between Stella and Claire.

Claire was panting with difficulty, her blue eyes were filled with tears, and she had no strength, but she was still working hard, "Stella, quickly end this." She begged in a low voice, pressing silk with her thin fingers. Della put her hand on her cheek, "End my pain and give me peace."

This time, Stella didn't answer, but leaned forward and kissed Claire, from her forehead, to her eyes, and even her lips.Until Claire's chest stopped rising and falling, as if everything had stopped... But at this moment, Stella quickly cut a small cut on her finger with a knife, and dripped her own blood in front of everyone. into Claire's mouth.

Thankfully, Claire woke up and the guest came, this time he was completely awake, and the speed was unimaginable.She breathed again, and her cheeks, body, and expression all returned to the original lovely Claire.It was an indescribable shock, and Cheney Sen couldn't restrain his trembling. After Stella left the room, he even ran over and hugged Claire into his arms.The joy of regaining what was lost immediately washed away all the drowsiness and fear of these days.

Claire was briefly surprised. She couldn't believe that she had really come back to life, and she also couldn't believe that she was being hugged by Cheney at this time.After regaining consciousness, her mind was recovering rapidly, and she responded to his hug with a smile on her face.

"I'm not dead." She confirmed in a low voice.

"Yes, you're not dead." Cheney hugged her tightly, proving that she was indeed real. Even if the girl's body was as cold as ice, it was better than the vampire's strange fever.

Claire leaned on Cheney's shoulder enjoying herself, and she turned her eyes to Elijah who was also standing in the room.If possible, she really didn't want to spoil the existing atmosphere. Cheney Sen was hugging her, but she wanted to tell Elijah something about her feelings.

But there are some things I have to say, "She is not Stella, at least I don't think she is herself now." Claire said.

Claire's words made Cheney let her go, and they looked at each other, as if thinking about what Claire said.

So, Claire continued, "All the signs prove this. Stella did not attack Klaus and Elijah. Egbert once said that once the girl from the Stuart family unsealed, she would become Crazy, they will recklessly attack vampires and other supernatural creatures, their bodies and consciousness are involuntary, and they will multiply their emotions and anger countless times..."

"But Stella didn't have such a similar change." Elijah took Claire's topic, as if this was the conclusion he wanted, and he was just waiting for someone to confirm it.

Suffice it to say, things got more complicated.

Elijah fell silent, and had to say that his performance these past few days was really bad. After Stella was released from the seal, during the past few days when Claire was in pain, when Rebecca suddenly appeared and attacked Crowe After that... He froze in place, as if he was thinking about something quickly.

"I'd rather know what some people would do. And you," Cheney cast a contemptuous glance at Elijah and stuffed a large bag of blood into Claire's arms, "you need to feed yourself."

"I'm not hungry at all," Claire yelled dissatisfiedly, "Don't try to make me do anything, Cheney."

That's great, even now she's yelling at him and it's so cute!Cheney thought he was out of his mind at this moment.

"From the perspective of facing wizards, you have no advantage at all, Claire." Fortunately, he still has a sliver of reason. Cheney Sen is completely in a posture that he has more control over him, as if saying that he finally picked it up If you lose your life, just stay honest with me.

"Cheney—"

"Indeed, there's nothing to argue about on this issue." Elijah finally interrupted, he was completely in no mood to focus on bickering now, "She's not safe here." This was for Cheney Listen, "You have to take Claire out of here, leave this to me."

These words made Cheney less dissatisfied with Elijah in the past few days, but it does not mean that he will accept it readily, "Do you not believe me?" But he is not forgiving, which may be what Claire hates the most. His place is gone.He turned his lips and glanced at Claire next to him uncomfortably.

"It's because I believe in you." Cheney smiled, walked up to Cheney and patted him on the shoulder, but then his face darkened again, even pessimistic, "You have to believe that when you fall in love with someone Personal, and when the person you love loves you, you become extremely vulnerable. Stella finally let Claire survive, but if she asks you for something because of this, what can you guarantee?"

Love is a rather delicate word.The expressions of Cheney and Claire were very similar at this time, and they were dodging each other at the same time.What Elijah said was not unreasonable, Stella finally changed her mind and used her blood.And she didn't even negotiate terms with Cheney first, so anything could happen, who knows what it might be.

This time, they glanced at each other.Cheney took Claire's hand, and he thought that he should really hide the girl, and think of other ways later.

"Claire, I can't forgive some of the old vampire's actions, but I can believe that this decision is at least correct." He is trying to persuade Claire, and he fully agrees with Elijah's idea on this point, "Come with me Come on, let's go together."

"Hide yourself?" Claire hesitated at first, but when she found that she was hopelessly in love with the warmth Cheney gave her, she compromised, "But you have to promise, you will be with me .But I have to say, I don't like this decision, but I will choose to put your mind at ease."

"Thank you, I promise."
