II: The Final Chapter 'The Return'
"Before you say anything, allow me first. Zach grabbed Louise by the shoulders and pushed open the back door of the Grande House.
At 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, it is the time when the sun is at its best. Zach squinted and stopped under the porch, hiding from the sunlight that was most comfortable for ordinary people.
"First of all, I need to thank you. If it weren't for the fact that you guessed that I was looking for those hunters, I wouldn't be here at this point. ”
Louise lowered her head and did not respond. Such a thank you did not make her happy, it was just a guess of a woman with a fragile sense of security, distrust of men.
When Louise woke up, she found that Zach was not there, and made a very inferior guess - Zach was not looking for her, but happened to meet her when she was looking for a hunter!
"Second, I should apologize to you. Because I didn't say goodbye in the morning. ”
Louise's body turned slightly away from Zach, and an apology could never make up for the damage caused.
"Third, I do want you to come back, and last night's words weren't entirely false. ”
'Not quite'? should this be a comfort to herself? Louise didn't want to hear it anymore, this time she didn't even need to pack her bags, she just had to walk out of the Grande House.
"Finally, I'm going to lift your insecurity. I want you to know that at Grand House, you will always be safe. I'm not going to dodge the questions you ask. ”
Louise lifted her foot back and looked at Zach.
"You're safe here, no one or anything can hurt you, you already know that. Zach raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "And I am your only source of insecurity, because James once told you 'my offspring'." ”
Louise frowned slightly, and her beautiful face didn't know whether to look forward to it or be nervous: "Are you going to sue me now?"
Zach nodded, "I did think about it, but I can't make a decision until now. Perhaps it's best to let you judge for yourself. ”
The vampire begins to narrate ancient rituals of inheritance. It was a quiet exchange of blood, a transformation of life forms. There is no ethics, pain, and loss of personality that Louise fears. On the contrary, it seems more like the beginning of a fateful intertwin.
If Louise becomes a descendant of Zack's bloodline, Zach will become her teacher, her guardian. At the same time, they can also be friends and lovers......
"Would you like to be a vampire? Zach looked at Louise, who already had a wistful look, and continued.
Do you want to be a vampire?
You will remain the same as you are forever, and time will not affect you in any way. You will see landscapes that you could not see before, and you will hear sounds that you could not hear before.
But, at the same time, you will never be able to see yourself, and the mirror will not reflect your image. You'll be unable to touch the sun for a long time, and you'll hear more of people's steady, sleepy breathing and heartbeat.
You'll be faster, stronger, and you'll master the 'magic' that makes others do what you want. You will be the king of the moon and stars in the sky.
However, your extraordinary abilities, including your life, come from the blood of other living beings, and the food that used to be qiē is like hay to you. And when the moon is full, you will see your predators.
You will have eternal life, and you can go anywhere in the world.
But if you die, your death will be painful and cruel. There are many places in this world that you will never be able to set foot in without the permission of your owner.
You will go through countless lifetimes, and one day, you will learn to forget something and dress up new memories.
You will ......
You will have all of the above and become a life beyond the ordinary in the crowd. But at the same time, you have become a foreign race in their eyes, and you will also become a prey for the hunters.
"Do you still want to be 'my offspring'? Louise. Zach looked at Louise, who had initially opened slightly.
The beautiful woman lowered her head, and when she lifted it again, she had a smile on her face: "No." At least not yet. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, just like he felt when he first met Louise, a smart woman.
As the full moon passed, Benjamin apparently had eaten the traps set by the hunters, and his body was covered in red lines.
What makes Zach even more helpless is that because the werewolf's transformation is advanced, no one knows where the wolf's body, which is not completely controlled by Benjamin, has gone. At the first sunrise after the end of the full moon, the vampire did not go to deliver the clothes. Benjamin came back naked for this, and he didn't speak to Zack for a week, which made the vampire who had only sneaked around the werewolf and made a little move on his back a little panick.
Connor's funeral went smoothly, like Mr. Quinn's funeral, and in order to avoid the reporters, all the prime men of the Grande House hid in the cemetery, including the real James Lance.
Warehouse 13, located at the northern end of Becky Street, has long since been removed from the Barton Police Department with the closure of the case. But this warehouse for storing waste is no longer what it once was.
In front of the door of the warehouse, there are candles, bouquets and photographs piled up. The cemetery was a very private place, and Connor's friends were not allowed to visit it at will, so they held a small seven-day mourning service for Connor in the place where Connor 'left'.
Many boys and girls of seventeen or eighteen wrote down cards and pasted them on the walls of the warehouse. It looks like a very warm ceremony.
"May you rest in peace, you will always be the captain of the Beavers!" "In heaven, keep winning!" "In heaven you are also the best quarterback!" These are the boys' notes, and then ......
"I wish you happiness. "I'm so sad you're gone. "You're a great kisser, I'm going to miss you. "I've told you that Liz isn't a good woman. "Why is Ressa crying so sadly?Connor!I'm your girlfriend!"Connor!You said you broke up with Rachel!Why did she think you were his boyfriend!"How many ???girlfriends do you have""!!!You're a scumbag!""You should go to hell!"......
When the place is occupied by the girls, the lads of the Beaver team evacuate the place full of grievances.
Lola's initial warning to Alice was clearly not a little girl's gossip......
But at this time, Lola stood quietly behind a group of arguing girls, holding a white card in her hand, unable to write anything.
Alice patted her friend's shoulder comfortingly, "It's not your fault. ”
"But why don't I feel that way now?" Lola lowered her head, her eyes already moist, "I shouldn't have gloated, I should have called the police." If I had called the police, this qiē would not have happened......"
The banshee hugged Lola, whose shoulders were trembling slightly, she couldn't comfort her friend, all she could do was stay by Lola's side.
Lola shuddered as she wrote a few words and pasted them on the walls of Warehouse 13.
"I'm sorry, Connor. - Lola Barton. ”
Louise returns to live at the House of Grande, and the mistakes of Barton's younger generation return to where they started. But we know that everything has taken a subtle turn. The vampire's choice falls to Louise, and Kyle's guilt is borne by Lola. That's what happens when you live in a city infested with aliens.
There is no need to do emotion yet, the story is not over yet......
