Chapter 4: Brother
The sun in the east is constantly stirring the earth, and the warm sunlight is dispelling the chill accumulated in a winter from the land. The temperature is getting warmer, and the 'people' of the Grande House are going about their daily lives, as if nothing has changed, no, a lot of changes.
"What is he doing now?" Lola and Alice lay in the hammock on the side of the warehouse, the girl's head tilted sideways, looking into the distance.
Alice's new friend had come to visit Alice early in the morning, and of course, it was just an excuse.
About a hundred meters from the hammock, in the cleared clearing, the frame of a new warehouse had been erected, and two men with tools were hammering around.
Benjamin is building a new warehouse for the stone hauled in for free from the Ford Funeral Home. And I'm just an innocent coolie, and the innocent reason is that the girl who doesn't turn his eyes off this side - Lola!
Alice tilted her head and looked this way. Because she is in the house of Grande, which is familiar to the banshee, and has also adapted to Lola's temperament, Alice is now very relaxed and has no usual anxiety. Exposure to peers is indeed good for Alice. But now, Alice's face was a little helpless, and she replied to Lola: "The hammer he lifted and smashed it into the nail, and when the nail was nailed, he went to the other side and took out a new nail and fixed it on the ......"
On this warm and calm morning, Lola's eyes sparkled with starlight, and she let go of the little lip she bit under the raised corners of her mouth: "He's so good-looking, broad back, solid arms......" Lola adjusted her posture, her eyes still staring at Benjamin's every move: "I wish it was summer......"
Spring ...... for a sixteen-year-old girl I hope you understand what I'm talking about. (Summer is the season to undress...... )
"Oh!" Lola realized that she had just said that, and turned her head a little embarrassed to look at Alice, who was already blushing, "I'm sorry!
It was rare that the girl still retained a shred of sanity, taking into account Alice's feelings.
"It doesn't matter. Alice played with her hair in embarrassment.
"Tell me more about your brother!" Lola reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Benjamin and faced Alice, "Of course, not your other brother. I'm going to hear about Benjamin!"
And Benjamin in the distance, the moment he noticed the disappearance of his gaze, his skin was covered with fluff and turned into a brown shadow, and in the blink of an eye, three beams and pillars were nailed!
Now you know why I'm an innocent coolie. The job that could have been easily done by Benjamin alone with the 'Alpha Skin' had to slow down because the girl refused to leave Benjamin's sight!
Alice reluctantly begins to tell Lola the story of Benjamin's time in the army. It's not a lie, Benjy did join the army, then ran into Zach and Anthony, and then settled in Barton with Anthony, where he met the banshees who were wandering on the streets......
Of course, Alice won't tell the rest of the story, she scrubs through her memories, remembering what she once heard that Benjamin was still in the army.
"What are you talking about?" Benjamin had regained his normal appearance, except that the cuffs were torn to reveal his muscular arms. He walked up to the two girls and asked casually, apparently wanting to change their clothes.
"Alice is telling me the story of your time in the army!" Lola sat up from her hammock deftly, "Did you go to war? I mean the war ten years ago?"
Benjamin frowned, but he immediately realized that maybe this was an opportunity for Lola to realize the age gap between them, and the chance to automatically retreat!
"I've been there. Benjamin said as he walked.
"Cool!" seems to have the exact opposite effect. Lola excitedly ran up to Benjamin and followed him like a koala: "Then you must be a hero!"
Benjamin opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"Benjamin. Louise pushed open the back door of the Grande House, barefoot and covered with only a blanket! The temperature was still a little cold, so the beautiful woman, even without any makeup, hugged her shoulders and asked Benjamin, who was walking towards the warehouse, "Did you see Zach? ”
"Isn't he in the office?" Benjamin seized the opportunity to get out and said to Lola and Alice, "You stay here, I'll go to the office." ”
Lola watched Benjamin and Louise disappear, and the vigilant Lara Alice's clothes asked, "Who is that woman?"
Alice sighed and said, "Don't worry, Lola, she has her eye on my other brother. ”
Lola breathed a sigh of relief.
Zach's office. Benjamin picked up the phone, it was City Hall, and Anthony's exasperated voice rushed out of the receiver: "Where's that guy?! I need an explanation! Who's-it's Madison!"
Benjamin sighed, another trouble, "I'll go find Zach, you wait." ”
"Hey, hey, Benjamin, Ben......"
Benjamin ignored Anthony, who was roaring on the other end of the earpiece, took a deep breath, and the various smells in the air were eliminated one by one in the werewolf's sense of smell, and a trace of the decaying aura that only werewolves are particularly sensitive to was captured by Benjamin - the smell of vampires. Benjamin raised an eyebrow and left the office, heading to the basement of the Grande House.
"What are you doing?" said Benjamin, if Grande's old warehouse was a werewolf's den, then the basement was where the vampires really rested. As for the bedroom on the second floor where Louise woke up in the morning, it was just a decoration until Louise showed up......
Werewolves rarely come to this place where the smell of vampires is too strong, and if it is three days before the full moon, Benjamin enters here, he may not be able to stop it directly, and completely turn into a wolf.
Zack's room was very clean, but when he walked through the room and entered the storage room, he saw a mess.
Zach stood among the pile of old newspapers that had been opened with a frown, "I remember, in the middle of the month. But I can't find it now!"
"Are you looking for a report about Reipt High School? Benjamin picked up a newspaper and looked at the date, it was the newspaper at this time three years ago.
"Of course, you remember, right, the report of the sudden drug death of a Reipt Beaver player. Zach looked at the pile of newspapers scattered in front of him, and said thoughtfully, "Am I too old, I have always felt a little memory problem recently." ”
Benjamin slapped Zach on the shoulder, he didn't want to listen to vampire nonsense here, "Anthony is calling and asking about Madison. You go and explain, I'll come to the report. ”
Zach shook his head helplessly: "Why do I always have this kind of troublesome thing." ”
The corners of Benjamin's mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of a smile, "You're the elder brother." ”
It's time to tell everyone why in the House of Grande, the vampire is the older brother and the werewolf is the younger brother. This has nothing to do with their real age, but a few years ago, during a discussion to determine who is the eldest son of the real old man Grande and to be eligible to receive the inheritance, the vampire 'lucky' guessed correctly the coin Alice tossed.
