Chapter 5

After we said goodbye to the witchers, Isabel and I decided to head into the mountains to find Elias, who had been gone for a long time, and hoped to meet our lost compatriots there. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are seven days left until Christmas. I said, "Try to find the castle before Christmas Eve, and hopefully others will get ahead of us." ”

"Maybe ......," Isabel paused, "they've found Elias." ”

"You're so comforting, I hope so!"

I strode forward while she walked very slowly behind, and I don't know why she walked so slowly. "Can you hurry?" I urged.

"Alex. She let out a groan of pain, followed by the sound of a fall.

I jerked my head around and saw her lying in the snow, so I immediately ran to her side and slowly lifted her up. Her face turned blue and she looked very distressed. I was worried, "No, honey, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

Her tone was weak, "Alex." ”

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I was shot in the middle of the battle. ”

"What?"

Her voice grew even weaker, "Alex, I'm afraid my life is over here!"

"Nonsense. "I accidentally felt a hot and moist sensation in her abdomen with my hand, and when I touched it with my hand, it was all blood. "Oh my God!" when she was hurt? I don't know.

I looked closely at her blood, and it was not a silver bullet in her, but a new type of poisonous bullet. Over time, the toxicity can flare up suddenly, leading to death. I panicked. I don't know what to do. What if these bullets contain the virus called the Sixth Desire? Isn't she going to be a member of the Evil Spirits? My heart is almost on the verge of the most terrifying, there must be a way to cure it. I kept comforting her and encouraging her: "You must hold on, persevere, persevere, dear, you can do it." ”

"Alex. I...... I...... I'm going to die. ”

The wound on her abdomen was spilling a lot of blood, and her clothes were widely stained red, staining my hands and blouse. I slit my wrist. Let the blood drip into her mouth, hoping to save her life in this way, but she didn't even have the strength to swallow. Tears welled up in my eyes immediately after my mother died. I've never felt so sad about a person. Once lost her. It's like losing half of my life, and the other half of my life is Frank, and the death of either of them is a heavy blow to my heart, so I have to do everything I can to pull her back from the entrance to hell. I was still encouraging her: "How can you die before we get home? ”

She touched my face weakly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was very low, "I'm afraid I can't wait." I'm sorry, Alex, I can't help you!"

How I wish it was a dream. What should I do? I was in the greatest predicament and pain of my life. I must take her out of this land of right and wrong, and I can't stop for a moment, because the Evil Spirits may chase her at any moment. How could she have been shot? I began to recall the scene of the fierce battle in the town just now, and I still remember the baby's cry and Isabel's heroic performance, could it be that she was injured while saving the baby?

"Isabel, you're so stupid!" I kissed her forehead, "Is it worth risking your life to save a baby?"

She gave me a smile and said in a weak voice, "Don't say anything, if you were a woman, you would do the same." ”

I shook my head, "You're going to hold on." "I tried to pull out the bullet inside her with my fingers, and she endured the pain without letting out a single moan, probably because of the numbness of the wound that prevented him from feeling the pain.

Actually, it's all my fault, as a half-human, when I hear a baby's cry, it's me, not her, who saves people. Thinking of this, a strong sense of guilt welled up in my heart. I prayed that God would not punish me in this way, and if God was merciful, please give me another chance. At that moment, I felt as if the abyss of hell was opening under my feet. I bit a wound on my wrist again, squeezing the blood out and dripping it into her mouth so that her wound could heal as quickly as possible.

When she realized that she was drinking my blood, she pushed my hand away. I thought her wounds were almost time to heal, but judging by her weak appearance, it didn't help, because the bullets used by the enemy were extremely poisonous. I told her to cheer up and go with me in search of the castle, "Honey, you'll be fine. ”

"Alex. She insisted.

"Isabel, what do you want to say? Please, you have to hold on, what is this little injury?"

"I want to go back to the castle. ”

"Good. I immediately picked her up, and just held her all the way, and walked up the hill step by step.

The wind was cold and the snow was white. The spruce forest obscured the sky and made us unable to see the end of the road, and I lost my way, as if the whole world was only mountains and trees. On this cold night, I can only look for the castle by feeling. Isabel needs to persevere, she can't fall now, even she knows that once she gives up, she will never wake up again. In order to keep her going, I kept telling her about some good things that I had experienced, and she occasionally added a sentence or two to me in a weak voice, as if she was deliberately amusing me and relieving her own pain. She also told me about her career as an Assassin, and she insisted on telling me about her assassination of Count Friedrich and his wife in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. She claimed that she had killed more than 600 people in her career as an Assassin, which was a great sin. She thinks that she has fallen to such a point is completely God's punishment for her, and even if she dies, she feels at ease.

Whether God is punishing her or not, I will do my best to protect her and get her through.

Two more days and nights passed, but fortunately it had been cloudy and there was no sun for the last few days, which was fortunate for Isabel, who was very strong. But her wounds were badly infected, and the demons in charge of pain were tormenting her soul, making her worse than dead. But I always believed that there would be a cure. For the next two days, I used my blood to boost her vitality, but she didn't know it. By Christmas Eve, we hadn't found the castle, we didn't know anything about Frank and them, and Arthur and Owen didn't know where they had gone. Is this the end of our time? This will be the most shameful day in the history of the Augustian family. This Christmas Eve was a miserable night for us, no laughter. There is no reunion, only pain and sorrow.

Isabel is getting weaker and weaker, and the only place she lives at the moment is her mind. She can only use her supernatural powers to procrastinate her death. I still remember our first Christmas Eve in Elias. Isabel's singing echoed in my ears again, with me, Frank, Isabel, the Simone brothers, the Leknia brothers, and Margaret, as if it had just happened yesterday. "Isabel, do you remember our first Christmas Eve in Elias?" I asked. "You also sang a song at the time. Do you remember what it was called?"

"Silent Night. She pulled herself together and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's 'Silent Night', can you sing me two lines? You can recite a few long poems by Italian director Pierre Pablo Pasolini. ”

She shook her head weakly, and suddenly coughed, spitting out a large amount of blackened blood clots, which were steaming hot from the snow. It quickly melted away.

I wiped the blood from her mouth with my hand, "Okay. I'll recite two sentences, and you can listen to them. I lived in the dead dead war years. She coughed incessantly and was in great pain, and I wiped the blood from her collar as I whispered in a shaky voice, "No will." She coughed up a large amount of blood clots that made my heart ache, "Hold on, hold on, dear." "I believed that the castle would suddenly appear before us, and I continued to whisper the verse: "Love the world I hate, despise it, get lost in its misery - ...... in a dark shame of consciousness"

"You can ...... Not bad. She said with difficulty.

"Thank you!"

This is the last stanza from the third part of ...... Gramsci's Ashes. ”

"Yes, dear, you remember it so well, you'll be fine. ”

Then, when she suddenly decided to go with me to find Elias, she asked me to let her go, but I refused, and finally she made an amazing move and jumped off my arms, but luckily I pulled her in time, otherwise she would have fallen badly. She felt that only by insisting on walking and making herself feel weak would she prove that she was still alive. But I was still not at ease, so I took one of her arms and continued to look for the castle.

We climbed another hill and entered a spruce forest again, and it dawned on me that we had been to this spruce forest before, and that Elias might be nearby. At this time, the familiar howls of wolves came again from afar, which undoubtedly only made matters worse for us, and I feared that we would both die here tonight. We climbed a small hill and stopped under a tall spruce tree, but at that moment I saw Elias, who had been gone for many years.

At that time, I suddenly came to the spirit. "The castle. I pointed to the castle and shouted.

"We're home. Isabel said. Her voice was weak, but excited.

"Let's go, dear. I took her arm and walked forward.

At this moment, we almost forgot everything around us, the howl of the wolves was no longer a deterrent to us, and the danger was no longer terrible to us. We stepped through the thick snow and through scattered spruce trees, getting closer and closer to the castle.

Suddenly, a tall man jumped down from a tree in front of us and stepped his feet deep into the thick snow, blocking us. He had a fierce gaze, a leather coat and leather boots, and his long unkempt hair and beard were covered with ice chips. We immediately stopped and looked at the man. He was a werewolf, and his name and face were all too familiar to me, but I did not look afraid in the slightest, but said very calmly: "Fernando Brontë, we meet again." ”

"Yes, you still know me, half-breed. Fernando said.

"Turns out you're not dead, and it seems you knew we were coming. ”

"That's right. A familiar voice came from behind me.

I immediately turned around, and it turned out to be Kruger, the son of the Wolf King, who had arrived. He was still so strong, followed by dozens of werewolves. Under his orders, all the werewolves surrounded me and Isabel.

Kruger walked up to Fernando with the encirclement and shouted to me, "Alex. I didn't expect you to finally fall into my hands, I knew you would come, so I waited here for a long time, and you finally appeared, and if it wasn't for other vampires who came to make trouble, you would have died long ago. ”

"Do you think it's funny that so many of you are dealing with the two of us?"

"I'm not going around in circles with you. Let's just put it bluntly, you have two paths. First: You kill your lovely girlfriend with your own hands and then kill yourself. Second: Let's kill your lovely girlfriend in front of you. And then kill you. ”

He clearly wanted us both to die, and he knew I wasn't going to kill Isabel. "I have a third option. I said.

"Please. ”

"The third option is to go back to the castle and make this your graveyard." ”

He laughed. "Do you hear what this fool says?" he said he wanted to turn this place into our graveyard. ”

The other werewolves laughed too. I think my words are ridiculous and impossible to fulfill.

"Then I can only regret your actions. Kruger glanced at Fernando, "You kill that girl first, Alex must leave it to me." ”

"Wait. Another werewolf chimed in, "Can you give me a chance?" ”

"You'd better rest, Lawrnes. Fernando said to him in a contemptuous tone.

"You don't have to do it yourself. ”

Kruger changed his mind and nodded in agreement to let the werewolf named Lawrence do it himself, and Fernando had to obey Kruger.

Lawrence walked towards us step by step. His eyeballs became red and bright, like two rubies. The muscles on our bodies became prominent, and our whole body completely changed into the appearance of a wolf walking upright, and it galloped towards us. If I don't stop him, he'll come and kill Isabel, so it looks like we're all but desperate.

I held Isabel behind me and assumed a fighting pose. Lawrence rushed to me like he was mad, he was just a nobody of the wolf clan to me, it would have been easy for me to kill him, and before he could react, I flew up and threw him to the ground, entangled with him, he was no match for me, I tore off his jaw, then broke his arms, and blinded him with my fingers, and he screamed in agony. At this point, I had no way out, I grabbed him by the neck and writhed so hard that I made the sound of bones breaking and muscles tearing. Eventually, my head was screwed off, and his headless body twitched on the ground for a while, and finally stopped moving, and the large expanse of blood that flowed out quickly stained the snow red.

I lifted the wolf's head and raised it above my head to demonstrate to the other werewolves. "See?" I shouted, "Is this what you're for? Who else wants to come and try?"

Kruger and Fernando looked at each other and then at me with hatred.

I threw the wolf's head at Kruger and sneered, "What else do you have to say? This is the werewolf, I thought he would have a chance to hurt me, but I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable." ”

The more Kruger listened, the more angry he became, and his eyes seemed to warn me. But I'm ready to do that. In a fit of rage, Kruger chopped Lawnes's head into meat sauce with a hard kick, smearing his brain on the ground.

I still kept Isabel behind me, and she didn't look scared at all. "Hold on, dear. I whispered to her, "Even if I die, I'm going to die with you." ”

"Damn. Annoyed, Fernando clenched his fists, roaring and his sharp nails growing rapidly.

"Calm down. Kruger whispered to him.

I glanced around, looking at each pair of fierce eyes, "Whoever dares to mess around today, I will take someone's life, and if any of you want to be a victim, then be the first to rush forward, come on." ”

Isabel was still holding on, clutching her bleeding wounds, her eyes filled with tears and full of sincerity and she said to me: "I know you can get out of danger, leave me alone, run fast, slow again...... None of us can go. ”

"Don't be foolish, it may be our destiny. I turned my gaze back to Kruger, "I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. Maybe it really was my destiny. ”

An evil smile appeared on Kruger's face, "Your Dark Realm Society killed my father, and today is considered to be the sky with eyes. Put you and me together, and you will die. ”

It seems that I am really going to be doomed today, and now I can only look at the majestic, magnificent castle from afar. It's close, but it's as far away as a mirage. "I didn't expect to see this castle before I died. I muttered.

"Please, get out of here, I don't have much to live anyway. Isabel said, holding my hand.

"As I said, I won't leave you. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, a jeep suddenly sped up from the forest behind me. After a moment of panic, the werewolves quickly hid in the surrounding trees, and even Kruger took a few steps back. The jeep passed me. The back door suddenly opened, and at that moment, I saw Frank, who was yelling at me, "Get in the car." ”

I hugged Isabel tightly. Jump into the car. The driver was Honora Lucas. I didn't care about anything, I just felt like the car was speeding forward, and Isabel was completely unconscious. I looked out the back window and saw that my compatriots had arrived and began hand-to-hand combat with the werewolves, glad they were present at my time of crisis.

We walked around to the gate on the east side of the castle, and Frank quickly got out of the car and opened the door. Wait for our car to get in. He closed the door right away. He then went to the south gate to beckon all his compatriots who were fighting the werewolves into the castle. And the werewolves retreated under our firepower, fleeing into the snowy forest below.

We got out of the car. Look at everything around you. Elias is still so magnificent, charming, and full of mystery, except that some strange vegetation grows in the courtyard.

I'm not in the mood to see the castle I've been in for a long time, so I carry Isabel into the castle and place her on the granite table in the medieval hall. She opened her eyes slightly, I stroked her cold face, and kept comforting her: "Honey, you will be fine, I will definitely do everything to save you, think about our past, reverie our future, cheer up, please!"

Frank and Ault rush to the infirmary, hoping to find the medicine they need there and try to pull Isabel back from the brink of hell. But they found nothing, because there were all kinds of medicines for sunburn wounds, and it seemed hopeless.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, and several ladies even shed tears. Isabel feebly touched my face with her hand and shed tears of regret. This poisonous bullet developed by the enemy was specially designed against us, and it was a blessing in misfortune that she was able to hold out for so long. The light in her eyes was fading, and the memories of the past were constantly replaying in her mind. Through her eyes, I could see her standing at the end of the earth, facing the endless sea, a stairway to heaven before her eyes, the gates of heaven slowly opening, the light of holiness shining on her pure body, and the guardian angel coming towards her, ready to lead her to a place free of pain.

Faced with the light that was about to disappear in her eyes, I whispered to her in a sad tone, "Do you remember the first time we met......?" I fell in love with you at first sight. We tour the starry sky on the back of an eagle. Remember the first Christmas Eve we spent here? I think you do. I also want you to drive me and Frank for a ride in a Mercedes. Wake up! please!" My tears rolled down her face, "Can you hear me?"

The sobs were faintly audible all around, and Margaret, who was standing next to me, was sobbing constantly, unable to control her sadness.

Anthony was about to plunge a syringe into Isabel's arm, and I thought: he must have bad intentions, so I suddenly stopped him and asked in a strong tone, "What do you want to do?"

He replied, "Nothing else, this will help her relieve her pain for a while, and it won't kill her." ”

"He didn't lie to you, it's true. Frank chimed in.

Since Frank thinks it's okay, I'm relieved.

Anthony then injected Isabel with a pain-relieving drug, and when he was done, he put away the syringe and shook his head helplessly as Isabel looked half-dead.

"Bite her. Frank suddenly shouted at me. Everyone was stunned, because his tone was more like an order to me, "Only by biting her will she come back to life, do as I say, you have no choice, this is the last resort." ”

His words seemed to pull me back from despair, and it sounded like a straw that had saved Isabel. Without hesitation, I bit down on Isabel's neck, and to no avail, I began to suck her blood, hoping that she would be pulled back from the edge of heaven by the pain. Suddenly, she seemed to gain strength, and her arms hugged me tightly, perhaps a conditioned reflex caused by some sudden tingling.

Everyone except Frank was stunned, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere made everyone's bodies stiffen.

I told Isabel in my heart, "Don't blame me, dear, Frank and I just tried to save you by all means." "I bit her neck and it took about a minute before I let go. I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, then made another cut in my wrist and dripped the blood into her mouth, muttering, "Come alive, darling!"

After about another minute, my blood was already bleeding a lot, and Frank grabbed my wrist, "That's enough." ”

Isabel still has the strength to swallow the blood, but may my blood not be shed in vain. Now, I'm just waiting for her to wake up miraculously. (To be continued.) )
