stay together, down

The day Lin An came back was not a good day.The gray sky seemed to be a harbinger of heavy rain.Thick and thick cumulonimbus clouds were pressing down from the edge of the city, and the dull thunder seemed to be ringing just a few feet above the head.

She stood at the door of this house, her face looked a little pale under the gray sky.Klaus was by the railing of the balcony on the second floor. He knew that Lin An was outside, separated from him by only one door.Her shallow breathing was as clearly audible as it was ringing in his ears.

After a long time, Klaus heard her say, "Cole, can we live at the plantation?"

Of course Cole knows that Klaus can hear, so he smiles even more. "I'll be where you are, kitten. As long as you're happy." Prince Cole's voice was exceptionally brisk.

Lin An turned around, and Klaus was already in front of him.

Lin An didn't seriously think about meeting Klaus again, but such an awkward silence like this is always inevitable.She could still easily understand the deep sorrow in his eyes, but she no longer wanted to let herself be affected by these sorrows.

She suddenly remembered a line from a book she had read, one of Klaus' bookcases.When she lived here, she spent a lot of time reading, dazed, and self-mourning.

It is "The Wishing Tree" by John Sholes - "There is no incurable pain, no unending sinking, and all that is lost will return in another way."

What has she lost?At this moment, it is only the family that occupies Lin An's heart.She lost her family!The moment she came here.

When she first arrived in Mystic Falls, her eyesight recovered, and the first person she saw was Damon.Like any young girl in love, she thought, if everything she has experienced is for meeting this man in front of her, she is willing.

But now she regrets it.Whether it was Damon or Klaus, she regretted it all.I wish I could exchange everything for regret. 'All that is lost, will come back in another way'?That is naturally the best, if not, she just wants to ensure that her family can be safely parked in her memory as always, without any accidents!

"I've already called. Your family members are safe and sound. If you go back now, you will only bring them danger." Klaus said after a long time of deliberation.Although she doesn't want to admit it, the only thing she cares about now is her family.He was careful, choosing what she was interested in saying.

Lin An already knew, otherwise she would definitely go back home immediately instead of coming here.

Nodding slightly, Lin An opened the backpack, took out a photo album and handed it to Klaus. "Rebecca asked me to bring it to you. And Hayley."

Klaus held out his hand and took it.Lin An stopped stopping and walked forward.Just after moving a step, the tall shadow covered his head again.

"You can live here ... the city is not very safe right now."

Lin An smiled, "It's more dangerous to live with you, Klaus."

Seeing Klaus's gloomy face for a moment, Lin An felt a little regretful. When she said this, she didn't mean anything else, just telling the truth.And precisely because it is the truth, Klaus is even more difficult to accept.

"I'm sorry." Lin An said apologetically.

Klaus felt even more uncomfortable, as if he had been hit head-on.It was always him who should say sorry, his selfishness and greed made them drift apart step by step, and he didn't even apologize to her for it.

Or maybe they all know that there are some things that cannot be undone by simply saying sorry.Now she probably doesn't need it anymore.

After all, there was no rain, and the gray clouds drifted slowly and quietly into the distance.But it didn't clear up, and the sky was always gloomy.The long and boundless darkness and depression are more tormenting than the carefree rainstorm.

I don't know when, when I looked up again, a huge full moon was already hanging in the sky.It's not fifteen, but the moon doesn't look any different, it's still perfectly round.

Klaus stood by the bed, leaning slightly to look at her sleeping face.Until this moment he can really look at her, when her eyes are closed - he can hardly meet her eyes when she is awake and open, he will see her eyes, like looking at any unrelated same as people.Calm, polite, just the right amount of distance.

"Do you like the gift we brought?" Cole quietly appeared behind Klaus.

That photo album was given to him and Hailey, Klaus knew what it was without opening it.He misses his children, every day, every moment.He didn't want to regard his child as evidence of his betrayal of Lin An, but this was an indisputable fact.

"Such a lovely child, isn't it, Nick? I must say, the good genes of the Michelson family have always been perfect." Cole said with admiration, but suddenly changed his words, "Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot You don't belong to the Michelson family." The tone of gloating is like a poisoned sharp knife, and those close to him always know where to cut the knife that hurts the most.

The philosopher Sartre said: "Pride is the proof of inferiority and despair."And Klaus is a very proud man.So he lived in inferiority and despair all his life.What is even more desperate is that he is a werewolf, half-breed, and ancestor, and his life has no end.

That photo album is now in Haili's hands.She couldn't take a wrong look, couldn't miss a touch, even if it was just the shadow of her child on the cold photo paper.

As Cole said, it was a lovely child, the child who carried on his blood.Anyone flipping through a photo album will have their eyes locked on this angelic child.Klaus saw something else.

Those photos are warm, each one is.Most of them are single photos of children, sleeping or waking up, lying or sitting, crying or laughing.There are also lots of pictures of Rebecca with the kids.A photo of Cole and the child.There's even a picture of Rebecca, Cole and the kids, the three of them together.But no Lynn.

until the last one.

Klaus could imagine that Rebecca asked for a group photo of everyone before Lynn and Cole returned.She will not refuse. She has always cooperated with other people's requests and rarely refuses.

In the photo, the little baby is between Cole and Rebecca, and Lin An is standing beside Cole.A leaf fell down and was frozen in front of her.The corners of the lips were still familiar to Klaus, the quiet and peaceful smile.

Lin An was awakened by their conversation, opened his eyes and sat up, but the room was empty.

In the quiet courtyard, Elijah, Klaus and Cole stood facing each other.Elijah had been waiting a long time.

"I hope I'm too cautious and suspicious," Elijah handed the photo to Klaus, and he printed out the photo that Hong sent on Klaus' mobile phone, "Look carefully at the stake in my father's hand, I Don't want to think so, but is that a white oak stump?"

The last white oak tree stump was once cast by Esther into an indestructible weapon, but the spell was broken by Lin An's blood by accident, and Klaus was able to destroy the last weapon that could kill the ancestor.

And now, it has appeared again!And it was in the hands of the ancestor of vampires, their father, who hunted and killed vampires!

"Who is this little girl named Red, Nicklaus? How did she have a white oak stump?!"

Cole asked the same question in the minds of the three.
