"Before you do anything, please allow me to go first." Zach held Louise's shoulders and pushed open the back door of the Grand House.
9 or 1 o'clock in the morning is when the sun is at its most beautiful. Zach squinted his eyes and stopped under the porch, avoiding the sunlight that was most comfortable for ordinary people.
"First, I need to thank you. If you hadn't guessed that I was going to find those hunters, I wouldn't be here right now."
Louise lowered her head and did not respond. Such gratitude did not make her happy. It was just a guess from a woman with a fragile sense of security and distrust of men.
After Louise woke up and found that Zach was not there, she made a very inferior guess - Zach did not go to find her, but happened to meet her when he was looking for a hunter! Such speculation saved Zach, but it only confirmed his own insecurities. Louise did not feel that this was something to be happy about.
"Second, I should apologize to you for leaving without saying goodbye this morning."
Louise turned her body slightly away from Zach, apologizing could never make up for the damage caused.
"Third, I do hope you come back. What I said last night was not completely false."
'Not quite'? Should this be a comfort to myself? Louise didn't want to hear it anymore. This time she didn't even need to pack her luggage, she just walked out of the Grand House.
"Finally, I want to relieve your insecurities. I want you to know that at Grand House, you will always be safe. I am not dodging your questions."
Louise retracted her raised foot and looked at Zach.
"You are safe here. No one or anything can hurt you. You already know this." Zach raised his lips slightly: "And I am your only source of insecurity, because James once told you. my descendants'."
Louise frowned slightly, and she didn't know whether it was anticipation or nervousness on her beautiful face: "Are you going to tell me now?"
Zach said, "I have indeed considered this matter, but I still can't make a decision until now. Maybe it's best to let you make your own judgment."
The vampire began to tell about ancient inheritance rituals. It was a quiet exchange of blood, a transformation of life forms. There is no loss of ethics, pain, or personality that Louise worries about. On the contrary, it seemed more like the beginning of a fateful entanglement.
If Louise becomes a descendant of Zach's bloodline, Zach will become her teacher and her guardian. At the same time, they can also be friends and lovers...
"Are you willing to become a vampire? Please listen to me." Zach looked at Louise who already had a look of admiration on her face and continued.
Do you want to be a vampire
You will maintain your current appearance forever, and time will not have any impact on you. You will see scenery 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; the mirror will not reflect your image. You will not be able to touch the sun for a long time, and the sounds you hear are more of people's steady, sleeping breathing and heartbeats.
You'll be faster, stronger, and you'll have the 'magic' to make others do what you want. You will be the king under the moon and stars in the sky.
However, all your extraordinary abilities, including your life, come from the blood of other living beings. All the food you had in the past is like hay to you. And when the moon is full, you will see your natural enemies.
You will have eternal life and you can travel to any corner of the world.
But if you die, your death will be extremely painful and cruel. There are many places in this world that you will never be able to set foot in without the owner's permission.
You will experience countless generations of life, and one day you will learn to forget some things to hold new memories.
You will…
With all of the above, you will become a more ordinary person among the crowd. But at the same time, you have become a foreigner in their eyes, and you will also become the prey of hunters.
"Do you still want to be 'my descendant'? Louise." Zach looked at Louise who was slightly open at first.
The beautiful woman lowered her head, and when she raised it again, there was a smile on her face: "No. At least not yet."
Zach raised his eyebrows, just like he had when he first met Louise, she was a smart woman.

After the full moon night, Benjamin apparently accidentally ate the tracking trap set by the hunters, and his whole body was covered in red lines.
What makes Zach even more helpless is that because the werewolf transformed in advance, no one knows where the wolf body, which is not completely controlled by Benjamin, has gone wild. On the first sunrise after the full moon night, the vampire did not go to deliver clothes. Benjamin came back naked for this reason, which caused him to not talk to Zach for a week. This made the vampire who had just secretly carried out the werewolf's move a little panicky.
Connor's funeral went smoothly, just like Mr. Quinn's funeral. In order to avoid the reporters, all the strong men in the Grand House hid in the cemetery, including the real James Lance.
At Warehouse No. 1, located at the northern end of Bache Street, with the case closed, the cordon of the Barton Police Department has long been removed. But this warehouse for storing waste is no longer what it once was.
In front of the warehouse, there are candles, bouquets and photos piled up. The cemetery is a very private place. Connor's friends were not allowed to visit at will, so they held a seven-day memorial ceremony for Connor at the place where Connor 'left'.
Many boys and girls aged 17 or 18 wrote cards and posted them on the wall of the warehouse. It looked like a very sweet ceremony.
"May you rest in peace, you will always be the captain of the Beavers!" "Continue to win in heaven!" "You will also be the best quarterback in heaven!" These are the notes of the boys, and then...
"I wish you happiness." "I'm so sad that you're gone." "You were a great kisser and I'm going to miss you." "I told you, Liz is not a good woman." "Why Raisa Crying so sadly? Connor! I am your girlfriend!" "Connor! You and Rachel broke up! Why does she think you are his boyfriend!" "How many girlfriends do you have? ??” “!! You are indeed a scumbag!” “You should go to hell!”…
When the place was taken over by girls, the Beaver boys evacuated the resentful place.
Laura's initial warning to Alice was obviously not girl gossip...
But at this time, Laura stood quietly behind a group of arguing girls, holding a white card in her hand, unable to write anything down.
Alice patted her friend's shoulder comfortingly, "It's not your fault."
"But why don't I feel like this now?" Laura lowered her head, her eyes already moist: "I shouldn't be gloating, I should call the police. If I had called the police, all this wouldn't have happened..."
The banshee hugged Laura, whose shoulders were trembling slightly. She couldn't comfort her friend. All she could do was stay with Laura.
Laura was trembling a little as she wrote a few words and pasted them on the wall of Warehouse No. 1.
"I'm sorry, Connor. - Lola Patton."

Louise returned to live in the Grand House, and Barton's younger generation's mistakes returned to the original place. But we know that everything has changed subtly. The choice of vampire fell to Louise, and Laura was responsible for Kyle's sins. This is what happens when you live in a city with aliens.
There is no need to express emotion, the story is not over yet...
