[Comprehensive British and American] vampires modern daily life

The rain on this day had already stopped in the afternoon. After night fell, a first-quarter moon appeared in the dark blue night sky. The moonlight was hazy, and it was a bit charming with the lights of Corinth City outside the palace. It was cool after the rain. The wind brought the smell of rosemary, the aroma Eunice was most familiar with.

She sat on the roof of the dormitory that once belonged to her, lifted her hood, let the soft moonlight caress her hair and cheeks softly, her skin would have a dazzling luster like diamonds under the sun, this is also The reason why she has always wrapped herself up tightly is that the bright moonlight is not as aggressive as the sun, and it only covers her with a faint silver light, so that her face is not so pale and scary.

She hugged her knees, like a child, sitting on the roof, put her chin on her knees, and couldn't help shrinking in.

The dispute in the father's house during the day did not have a final outcome. Celia accused A Luo sharply with a crying voice, and finally cried out in the silence of her son. The father coughed a few times and sighed. In one breath, I didn't say anything more.

A wild and chaotic scene ended in a mime. Eunice huddled in a corner under the window sill, opened her eyes wide, and let the tears well up in her eyes.

Ah Luo waited for a long time, and then said: "If father is in good health, I will go back."

After a few heavy footsteps, Eunice heard her father's tired voice: "Ah Luo, do you still want to wait for her in that rose field, she won't come back."

Ah Luo was silent for a while, and then said: "Father, I didn't wait for her, I was with her. My sister has been afraid of being alone since she was a child."

In the end, the king and queen in the house were silent, allowing Aluo to leave, Eunice hid herself in the shadows, watching Aluo walk out of the door of the bedroom, and quickly left the courtyard, the figure who was not yet burly disappeared quickly Behind the stacked pillars.

She laughed self-deprecatingly, then lowered her head, even she herself forgot that she was most afraid of being alone, but Ah Luo still remembered.

She did not follow Ah Luo back to the rose field, but squatted under the window sill of her father's bedroom, listening to her father's constant coughing, and clenched the fabric of her cuffs tightly.

Fortunately, Celia was beside him comforting him with a gentle voice, saying that she would always be by his side.

My father smiled and said, "That girl Eunice told me the same thing before, she said she would stay by my side forever."

Eunice was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't bear it after all, she stood up slowly, poked her head, and looked into the window.

Her father's bedroom was still the same as it was before she got married, except that there was a bouquet of delicate wild roses on the bedside, with a little dew on the petals.

He was supported by Celia and sat on the bed, looked at the roses beside the bed, and said: "Celia, I have nothing to worry about. He is very smart and very likable. The only thing I am worried about is A Luo. Although he is not my own son, but I have watched him grow up. Everything is fine with him, except when he treats Eunice On the issue, I am worried that he will go his own way and go astray..."

He paused, and then said, "Actually, why don't I want to go to Sparta, and ask the king there, why did my beautiful and beautiful daughter marry her and she disappeared in a year, but I can't, I can't." ..." He looked at Celia, and Eunice saw his cloudy eyes filled with tears, "Celia, you know, I can't..."

Celia's tears fell from her eyes one by one, she held the slightly trembling hand of King Corinth tightly, and kept nodding: "I know, I know."

"To be a king who is responsible to the people, you must be able to give up something, but Eunice is a piece of my heart, will it not hurt me if you cut off my heart? But I can't..." King Corinth looked Looking at Celia, "I'm glad that there is still one person in this world who can love her without any scruples, but I'm also afraid that such a Luo will fail to be a king and bring disaster on himself, Celia, After I die, you have to watch him carefully, don't let him go further and further..."

"I will." Celia finally couldn't hold back, and fell on the chest of King Corinth, crying bitterly.

Eunice, who was outside the window, turned around, leaned her back against the wall, raised her head, and wept silently.

Until there were slight footsteps in the yard, she raised her head and saw a little girl with blond curly hair being led into the yard by a maid. From her angle, she could clearly see the girl's milk-white skin, blue Colored eyes, and a profile similar to hers.

She was stunned for a moment, and then heard the maid whisper to the little girl: "Didemi, please make father happy later, father is very sad because of his brother and sister recently."

But the two or three-year-old girl raised her head and said childishly, "Okay!"

Eunice hid in a corner, watching the little girl getting closer, her lips parted slightly, and then tightly closed again.

That was Didymi, her sister.

Didymi turned her head suddenly before entering the door of the dormitory, and Eunice shrank back in panic, but what Didymi was looking at was a butterfly fluttering among the flowers in front of the door. Up and down, like a bird that has lost its balance, the little girl blinked, let go of the maid's hand, and staggered to the edge of the flowers. The maid rushed over to support her and said, "Little princess, you What's going on here?"

"My brother said that my sister is a rose, I want to ask if Little Butterfly has seen her before." Didemi raised her head with a childish expression.

After the two entered the bedroom, Eunice came out from the shadows. She looked up at the sky and then at the butterfly.

The butterfly flew crookedly to her shoulder, then stopped, and slowly flapped its rain-shattered wings.

"Rose..." Eunice wiped the tears on her cheeks and smiled again, "How can I be so beautiful..."

Eunice originally planned to go to Corinth Palace to see her father, and then left here to continue wandering, but after returning to the place where she lived for 18 years, she felt that her previous thinking was a bit too simple up.

Ah Luo was right, she was afraid of being alone, so instead of hiding in remote and uninhabited places, she wandered in the slums, and once she set foot in her hometown, she would never have the courage to leave.

She came to her former dormitory, jumped directly onto the roof, and sat there from evening to night, drenched in light rain, and waited for the moonlight to come again.

She put her arms around her knees, buried her head in them, and quietly listened to the familiar accent in the palace, the light footsteps that were very different from the Spartan palace and the slums, and the melodious sounds coming from nowhere harp.

Just... stay a little longer.

She stared blankly at the olive tree she had planted when she was a child at the gate of the courtyard, and thought to herself.

Nearly late at night, Didemi, the new owner of the dormitory, was hugged by the maid and walked into the courtyard sleepily. She yawned, covered her mouth with her fleshy little hand, and glanced casually at the moon in the sky. Suddenly he pointed to a place and said, "Ada, I seem to have seen Artemis."

Ada, the maid, looked in the direction she pointed. It was the roof of the dormitory. There was nothing there except the moonlight. Artemis."

"I really saw it." Didymi said angrily, "Sitting on the roof, her whole body glows like the moon. She is very beautiful, and the queen mother is not as good-looking as her."

"Okay, okay, we Didemi saw Artemis." Ada softly coaxed her, patted her on the back, and carried her into the house.

But Eunice didn't expect to be seen by Didymi, so she didn't leave in time, she could only jump off the other side of the roof immediately after a moment of stunned, and then hid in the rosemary bushes, waiting until she heard After Ada, the maid in the house, softly coaxed Didemi to sleep, she slowly walked out from the window sill at the back of the house.

At this time, she already had a faint sense of hunger and thirst. She touched her throat and closed her eyes.

She hadn't eaten for many days, and the last time she sucked blood was when she killed the trafficker outside the slum.

She hated the fact that she could only survive on blood. Except for sucking some Leonite's blood when she just woke up, she lived on animal blood. Compared with human blood, animal blood is basically It is tasteless, and the rats in the slums are even more stinky, but when the hunger strikes, she can't choose her own food at all, and she will hurt humans unconsciously. Satisfy your hunger with some critter blood before your senses get carried away.

Although the trafficker's blood gave her great satisfaction, the terrified eyes of the little boy still lingered in her mind. After she escaped from the screaming and killing in the slums, she has been deliberately fighting against hunger .

She didn't want to hurt anyone in the Corinthian palace.

She wanted to leave the palace and Corinth before she lost consciousness.

She held her throat with one hand, lowered her head, and wanted to rush out of the palace. She still remembered the direction of leaving the palace, but just as she jumped onto a roof, she smelled a strong and stale smell of blood.

That's animal blood.

She looked towards the place where the smell of blood came from, it was the kitchen.

She quickly changed direction and ran towards the kitchen. Fortunately, there were no guards along the way, and no one saw a woman in a black cloak rushing all the way into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, besides a bowl of sheep's blood that had been standing for a day on the stove, there was also a lamb tied under the stove. Eunice first picked up the bowl and drank the blood in big gulps, then wiped it off at will. Seeing the bloodstain on his chin, he couldn't wait to pounce on the lamb, clamped the lamb's head tightly with both hands, and bit the lamb's neck.

Animal blood is not delicious, it can only relieve the hunger and thirst that is gradually burning down the throat.

She greedily sucked the lamb's blood, and didn't notice the weak cry of the lamb, until the kitchen door was pushed open from the outside, she froze suddenly, put down the lamb carcass that had gradually become stiff, and turned her head go.

Moonlight poured into the small kitchen from the window, and she could clearly see the dust dancing in the light, as well as the sword flashing a cold light.

The moment she saw the blade, she hastily covered her lower abdomen and shrank back.

The moonlight illuminated her seaweed-thick black hair and her blood-stained cheeks, her eyes still red.

The two confronted each other for a long time, and she heard the trembling voice between the boy and the man say a word: "Sister?"
