stay together, down

When Esther turned the hourglass upside down, the silver-white fine sand flowed out of the tight and small round hole, rushing and silently, like a stream that was about to break, and like an illusory white thread, we thought something was always bound, But nothing.For Esther, she thought it was a step towards her victory, and she never knew that what awaited her would be a complete loss.

Everyone walked out of the tomb and came to the empty altar in the cemetery.Esther stood on the altar with a calm and calm expression in control of everything.More than half of the fine sand in the hourglass connected to the spell beside him has flowed away.

When everything was ready, Esther put a white oak stump on the altar—Red had already left, but did not take the white oak stump, Esther would not allow it, and Red believed that these stumps were Esther's hand can play its due effect better.Like now.

A situation that was completely contrary to the plan suddenly appeared, and Rebecca fell into a panic.Perhaps since Rebecca appeared, Esther already knew what they were planning, or perhaps this was originally part of Esther's entire destruction plan.Whatever the reason, it all points to the same result - when the spell takes effect and sends Rebecca into a human body, Esther will destroy her vampire body with the stake in her hand.

Lin An, on the other hand, stood by the side all the time, watching their conversations and transactions indifferently from the perspective of "watching".She heard Esther say that another best body had been chosen for Rebecca, beautiful, strong, and young.It seems that their souls are just furniture, and their bodies are like houses, which can be changed at will.

It was novel and frightening, but there seemed to be a place deep in my heart that took all this as usual and sighed.

It was as if she suddenly saw a face that was identical to hers this night, but the first thing she said when she saw her was: You are here.As if she knew her, knew she would come, had been waiting for her to come.But they clearly never met.

When Hong raised his hand lazily, the chain locked on the bedpost broke with a "snap!", Lin An knew that resistance was useless.It was Cole who resisted, and the blood on the wall was Cole and red. Lin An was unharmed except for a little red mark on his wrist.

Thinking of this, Lin An looked again at Cole who was standing on the left side of Esther on the altar.Cole stretched out his arms, and supported him leisurely on the rough stone altar, making it impossible to see that his whole body was sore and unbearable, and he almost had to support his body with his hands to barely stand.He hadn't been injured in more than 1000 years, and he was forced to endure such pain. The fragility of the human body is really impressive.

Sensing Lin An's sight, Cole raised his eyebrows as always, and smiled at her comfortingly.Under the altar, the argument between Esther and Rebecca continued.Rebecca's appearance was timely. Originally, he was ready to put all his eggs in one basket to fight Esther, but since he couldn't even beat Hong and was injured, so...

The dancing flames around the altar are in a trance, and through the dazzling tongues of flames, the star-studded sky is distorted and deformed in a blur.There seemed to be a slight burning smell in the air.

Then, Lin An saw the man under the sky, standing on the towering hanging coffin, as if he could trample everything under his feet.She is also at his feet.

It's Klaus.

Before Lin An looked over, Klaus had been watching her for a long time in silence.Met here, totally by accident.But Klaus couldn't deny that he didn't hate such surprises.

She stopped there, almost so shallow that she could see everything at a glance.Klaus looked at her, maybe she was just a fallen leaf floating on the stream unintentionally, drifting with the current, the gurgling water sent her here, or there, completely by chance, so it can stop anywhere, and like anywhere Not quite right.No where appropriate, she's a fragile object to be collected with care, and he's never been a fine collector.

When Lin An looked over, Klaus looked away in time.But he still saw her eyes.Her big eyes looked at him, eyes wide open, the pupils were pitch black, as if looking into the deep darkness.Yes, let’s also look into his heart, a strong wind blows in his body and mind, but he still stands firm in this strong wind, not allowing to deviate from his established direction and goal.

Klaus came to stop Esther. He appeared high above, then fell to the ground, threatening Esther to stop the spell with a sonorous voice.

The cemetery was surrounded by a dark night like the deep sea, and only the small area they were in was lit by the torches.Klaus, Rebecca, Cole, and Lin An, with the same outstanding appearance, stood scattered in the beating dark yellow firelight, very like a painting, quaint and beautiful, but with an unconcealable dark compassion.They are people in the painting, driven by an invisible paintbrush, with struggles and compromises.It's all involuntary.

Now, in this pen, Klaus kills his own mother, again.

When Klaus pulled out the dagger that had been pierced into Esther's neck, he revealed a blank and sad face in an instant, and turned to Lin An unconsciously.Lin An saw his watery eyes, she couldn't understand what was going on in her heart at this moment, she just felt the sudden dense pain in her chest.She should go, she must go, give him a hug, or just let him give her a hug.In this way, none of them are empty and vain.

Lin An stepped forward, she was almost joyful, it was her first clear direction since she woke up.but--

Esther's spell took effect, and Rebecca's whole body twitched suddenly, like a boat bobbing on a stormy sea.Klaus approached suddenly, catching her falling body.In the center of the spell, the finally drained hourglass exploded, and Lin An was blocked into a warm embrace in time.

The explosion accompanied by the blinding white light came suddenly and went away quickly.Klaus supported the fainted Rebecca, turned his head eagerly, and saw Cole holding Lin An in his arms.

Cole supported Lin An, and gently wiped the dust off her hair and shoulders, but suddenly stopped, frowned, bent and wiped her cheeks.Cole stretched out his finger in front of Lin An, "Crying?" in a teasing tone.

Klaus suddenly swept towards Lin An's face, his eyes were dark.

Lin An stretched out his hands to cover his face, touching the wetness on his face.She didn't feel her tears, but her eyes subconsciously drifted to Klaus's direction, and then her eyes burned again, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

When she woke up, her mind was full of chaos, she didn't know who she was, who to trust, who to ask.Where, where to go, where to stay.

When Klaus locked her up like a prisoner.

When she was in shackles and drowned alone in a darkened room, that infinitely long night, she thought that she would drown in the darkness, and then melt into the darkness, as if she had never existed, and no one cared.

When she suddenly faced a face that was identical to hers, she even had a slight joy, guessing if it was her twin sister or family member.However, her purpose is to make her disappear.

When she witnessed all the unfamiliar blood, killing, and death in just two days...

She didn't lose control, scream, or cry helplessly.

But now, just seeing the pain and torment that this man hides deep inside, she shed tears unknowingly...

There is also a vague tiredness, as if there is a direction, a futile effort, she will never be able to walk through it... and can't turn around...
