stay together, down

It's not that he didn't think about the consequences of leaving Lin Ann alone, but Klaus did it anyway-driving to Arkansas with Hailey to meet their daughter.

When they got together, Klaus, Elijah, Rebecca, Hayley, no one knew that what Lin An had been dreading had come true.She has always feared that she would not be able to integrate into this powerful ancestral family that always had clear barriers and invisible boundaries. Her possible journey would be preceded by another woman, so she stopped and wandered.

To be precise, Lin An and Cole are essentially the same and need the acceptance and approval of others.Cole longs to be a part of the family. Like a naughty child, he tries to get his family's attention and attention through pranks.Lin An, on the other hand, was a cub who was forced to walk alone overnight, so he was extremely sensitive and fragile. When he was hindered by a little fright, he retracted all his tentacles and stopped moving forward.

Maybe Lin An should be thankful that she lost her memory, and Klaus left her alone.When Klaus and Hayley stood side by side, embracing their daughter contentedly and cautiously, he had a gentle smile he had never had before, a magical continuation of life he had never felt, a self-integration he had never felt...all these things, Swelling from the chest cavity and spreading to every tiny cell in the whole body... Lin An, who has a complete memory, will only realize more deeply that she stands outside the boundary and will no longer be able to step in.

Rebecca's questioning voice was like a very thin silk vine, wrapped around Klaus' throat and heart skillfully, unable to break free, and slowly felt hypoxic and weak.

"It's only a month," Rebecca said angrily. "I only let her go for less than a month. Can you do worse? And Cole..."

Klaus stood in front of the window with his back to everyone, his obscure eyes crossed the low dark blue sky outside the villa, and an emotional voice sounded in the room and everyone's ears: "Your story is very beautiful, even if it is true Yes, the only thing I am interested in and concerned about is that there are still people who know of Hope's existence!"

Speaking of this, Klaus turned around and glanced at Rebecca, Elijah, and Hayley one by one. He said, "If you let me know, they will threaten Hope, even if it is only a possible threat. Believe me, there will never be another Happy Ending for your cute story."

Rebecca looked at Klaus incredulously, "Are you crazy? That's Lin An!"

"It's you who are crazy! I will eradicate all threats to Hope without hesitation!" Klaus said, "I believe you will make the right choice, Hayley."

Hai Li lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, she made a decision, "Klaus is right, Lin An has lost her memory and feelings for Klaus, but she has a vague impression of other people, maybe she still remembers Hope..."

"She won't! Even if she remembers Hope, she will never do anything to hurt her!" Rebecca argued.

"She's lost her memory, Rebecca! Anyone could take advantage of her. Without even saying anything herself, if Esther used a spell to search her memory..." Hayley didn't say the rest, but everyone We all know the dire consequences this will cause.

"Say something, Elijah!" Rebecca turned to Elijah for help.

Elijah recovered from his contemplation, he kept thinking, Hong.He forcibly interrupted the spell before, causing both Hong and the girl who cast the spell to be backlashed by the spell, one was injured, and the other was suppressed by the awakened Lin An.If Hong's ultimate goal is to send Lin An away, now is undoubtedly the best time.

Elijah looked at Klaus and said, "Perhaps you don't need to do it yourself, your enemy has already pulled out this threatening thorn for you!"

So, a word became a prophecy.

Klaus and Rebecca return to New Orleans with an elaborate and sinister plan.

When the car finally stopped at the Michelson family mansion, Rebecca pushed open the door, and eager voices came from the courtyard to the corridor.

"Ann! Lin An!..."

The light moonlight poured down like running water, and the hexagonal wall lamps hanging in the porch and courtyard flickered dimly. The shadows of trees in the night reflected the moonlight lights, embellishing the ground mottled.

As soon as Klaus stepped into the courtyard, he could smell the smell of blood floating in the air, his expression tensed suddenly, and the dark figure disappeared in a flash.

The smell of blood became more intense in Lin An's bedroom.Rebecca also smelled it, and Klaus stopped at the closed door vigilantly.Looking at each other, Rebecca nodded silently, and suddenly pushed open the door. Klaus flashed into the room without a sound, followed by Rebecca.

There was no one in the room, and the silver moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the scattered tables and chairs and the broken window glass.

Rebecca turned on the light, and the white light made people see uncomfortable shadows.Then, Klaus caught sight of the broken half of the shackles hanging from the bedposts.The pink brocade was dragged on the ground in a mess and panic, Klaus seemed to see that small figure sitting there, looking at himself with a panicked face.

Rebecca glanced at Klaus, and the dark aura on him almost solidified.

"Before I came back, Elijah said that if Lin An disappeared, go to Hong. Hurry up!" Rebecca broke the silence.

Klaus didn't move, and Rebecca urged him again. Looking at his abnormally silent figure, Rebecca seemed to realize some horrible and decisive choice of Klaus.

No longer waiting and hesitating, Rebecca's figure flashed and quickly swept towards the door.But Klaus still took a quick step, and a thick night-like figure blocked Rebecca's way.

Rebecca's face finally showed real panic, she stepped forward and held Klaus' arm, "Nick, you don't want to do this! Believe me, you will think of her, don't do things that you regret! "

"The person you mentioned doesn't matter to me right now. I believe we can all agree that Hope is the one we focus on protecting, including Elijah." Klaus stared at Rebecca, "I hope you don't Forget, who is the person we rushed back to save?"

As if sensing Klaus' unshakable determination, Rebecca let go of her hand and said, "No, Nick, you know Lin An is by no means insignificant to you. You are afraid of her influence on you, and you just want to Use other hands to kill her. You are a coward!"

Klaus' face suddenly became gloomy after being poked at a secret vital point. He stretched out his arm and grabbed Rebecca's neck vigorously. "Hope! It's my daughter! I won't let myself have any weaknesses until I ensure her safety! No one can!" That girl is too fragile, here, witches, werewolves, vampires, and even humans are all vulnerable. Could easily grab her and hurt her.Apart from being a bargaining chip and a burden to threaten him, she has no value.In this war he could not afford to lose, Klaus would never allow such hidden dangers to exist by his side.Therefore, it would be best if she could just disappear without a sound.

Breaking free from Klaus' grip, Rebecca said, "Remember your choice today, Nicklaus."

Rebecca left for a long time, Klaus stood in the empty room, unable to move.His body was gripped by a dark desire to kill and grow violently.His eyes were fixed on the blood stains on the wall. The white wall, against the bright red, was so eye-catching that it almost glowed.

Klaus' eyes were saturated with red light. ——Tonight, someone will always pay the price of death...

The moonlight has been shining on the old black bricks of the hanging coffins in the cemetery, showing a gloomy blue color, which looks even colder.

Rebecca walked all the way into the academy of witches in this cemetery, and their mother, Esther, was here.

Perhaps this is some kind of sign: the witches of New Orleans, their power is inherited in this land of death.Their inheritance is completed with blood and death rituals.They set up the academy here.

Perhaps this is already a sign: they are the haze lingering over this land.They are the ominous death.

It was an impulsive and risky next move, but Rebecca was willing to act as bait, accepting Esther's condition, and when she cast a spell to send Rebecca into a human body, Klaus took her by surprise. kill.Simple, clear, quick, once and for all, but facing the powerful ancestor witch, the dangerous variables during the period can be imagined.

If it fails, Rebecca will also get what she always wanted - to return to an ordinary human from the ancestor of vampires.

As Elijah said, this was their mother, and even her darkest actions often had an irrefutable logic.She reads the deepest desires of their hearts.

Rebecca's sudden appearance was unexpected to Esther, but it was within her expectation.If her proposal had been the most seductive to all her children, it had undoubtedly been the greatest to Rebecca.Even though she has survived for thousands of years, Rebecca is always a girl with a naive heart, which can be seen at a glance. She longs for the fulfillment of ordinary human beings, dreams of blending into the crowd, and hopes to get the love that will accompany her forever.

Rebecca was also surprised, because she saw Lin An here, and another girl whose face was almost identical to hers. I believe it was the redness in Elijah's mouth.

And, of course, Cole.

Because the backlash caused by Elijah's external force interrupting the spell could not be recovered in a short time, Hong could not cast the spell alone to send Lin An away, and she needed Esther's help. ——The bargaining chip provided by Red is Michael, and three white oak tree stumps—the amount that is enough to kill all the ancestors.

Red replaced Davina's role and rescued Michael before the other world collapsed, and the white oak tree stump she owned was not difficult to guess-she was trapped in 1994, when Mystic Falls used white oak tree stumps to frame The raised Vickery Bridge also stopped there safely.

However, after Hong and Lin An switched bodies, the spell Hong used to control Michael is now out of control.Esther can easily fix this loss of control and use it for herself.

Neither Michael nor the white oak stump was the fundamental reason for Esther to accept the deal.She accepts because her children are childish enough to resist her, and she needs to remind them of the real power they are fighting against, lest they forget that as a mother she is willing to wait for her children to wake up and accept her. A painstaking proposal, but if they insist on falling, she will also make them always remember that she can bring them not only redemption, but also destruction.

Therefore, what Esther has to do is not what Ruhong asked, to send Lin An away, and she will make her disappear forever.And Hong, she will eventually learn the price of making a deal with the devil.

The appearance of Rebecca stopped everything in time.

"Let her go, Mother! I will consider your offer," said Rebecca.

"I offer what you have always wanted, Rebecca. I hope you are sober and willing to accept the new start I am giving you. Including Klaus and Elijah. So I did not force you directly Putting it into a human body, although I am fully capable of doing so. But then you will not really get the joy of rebirth." Esther's tone is slow and earnest, like any mother who loves her child with all her heart.

"I have to give up everything I know, just for the memory I had once. Power for powerlessness. Strength for fragility. Immortality for short human life."

"The choice is simple." Esther stretched out her hands and held Rebecca's shoulders comfortingly. "Another millennium life that you wish for nothing, or a few but fulfilling life?"

Rebecca came here to agree to Esther's proposal, and after a short deal, Rebecca made a gesture of being persuaded by Esther.But she still said: "Lin An is my friend, mother. Human friend."

"You'll have more human friends, and lovers, and even your own children. If you want it," Esther said.

"Take it as a gift for me to be human again!" Rebecca grabbed Esther's left hand, like a child begging for her mother, with a slight hint of coquettishness. "My happiness and contentment will be the best persuasion to Klaus and Elijah, mother."

Esther finally agreed to Rebecca's request like a mother doting on her little daughter.

Hong watched the conspiracy sarcastically, and she guessed that Rebecca was definitely not willing to accept Esther's conditions.Naturally, it is impossible for Esther not to know that she is just powerful enough to ensure that everything will develop in the direction she planned.

"Let her children consciously and voluntarily accept her arrangement" is just a ridiculous excuse for whitewashing. If you have to ask why Esther didn't simply and rudely force Klaus, Elijah and Rebecca to become humans?The only explanation is: Esther wants to win. — a complete victory, both factual and psychological.
