10、9. Before the Sacrifice ...

Katherine: You are lying!
————————————————————————
Stefan回到家的时候，Salvatore世代积累的漂亮书房已经被暴怒的Damon掀的一团乱。
而Damon孤零零的坐在散落一地的书籍纸张之中，看着手中的一个笔记本。
Stefan:” What the hell？ What are you doing Damon？ Where is Angel？”
听到Angel的名字，Damon条件反射一样的弹了一下。
Damon没有回头:” He left me.”
Stefan:” Angel left you？! What happened？”
Damon:” He made his choice…”
Stefan完全无法理解，几个小时前他还在考虑是否要住到Elena家一段时间来躲避Angel与Damon经常非礼勿听非礼勿视的成人版，几个小时后他的brother就怨妇一样的被抛弃了？！还在Klaus就在他们身边这么一个关键时刻？！
Stefan绕到Damon面前:” What do you mean by ‘he made his choice’？ What choice？”
Damon:” He wants to go back…”
Stefan听了也不由得一顿，只能换了个话题:” What’s in your hand？”
Damon:” See it yourself…”
Stefan拿过那个普通的笔记本，随便翻了几页。
Stefan:” Is this Rose’s journal？”
Damon:” Yes. See the last page.”
Stefan翻到日记的最后一篇，Rose当时狼人咬伤已经发作，字迹凌乱根本看不出写了什么，那一篇的下面却有两行漂亮工整的花体字：
If you want to save Elena, feed her with your blood every day. Don’t need to use anyone.
Stefan看一眼失魂落魄的Damon:” He thinks you’re using him？”
Damon张了张嘴，却没有发出声音。
Stefan合上日记扔到一边:” Ok, Damon. What do you feel about Angel？ Do you like him？”
Damon闭上了眼睛，过了一会才睁开，低声说:” Yes. I like him… no, it’s… I… it’s, it’s more than like, I…”
I know how I feel… But how can I say it…
Stefan看着Damon痛苦的表情，抓住Damon的肩膀晃了晃:” Hey, hey! I don’t know what Angel has said, but if you feel something about him, tell him! Damon, tell him how you feel.”
Damon:” Why bother. He already left.”
Stefan:” Find him. Talk to him Damon, so you won’t be regret.”
同一时刻，Alaric的公寓。
Angel非常闲适的走了进去，看着橱子上Alaric的木箭，□□:” You really comfortable here？ I mean, live with this stuff.”
Klaus十分和善的笑了:” It’s not my first choice. But I don’t mind, not like they can kill me.”
Angel转过身看着Klaus:” So what can kill you？ Klaus.”
Klaus也看着Angel的眼睛:” You really want to know？”
Angel毫不躲避他的目光，优雅的轻耸一下肩膀:” Frankly, not really my business.”目光转到站在一边、明显十分紧张的Katherine,” Hey, Katherine, nice to meet you again.”
Katherine缓缓的点了一下头，神情明显极为害怕Klaus。
Angel刚转过头来，Klaus就已经闪到了他面前。
Klaus几乎贴着Angel，问:” Then why are you asking that…”
一旁的Katherine听到Klaus暗沉的语气，忍不住瑟缩了一下。
Angel毫不避讳的看着Klaus，过了一会才玩味的说:” Klaus, are you afraid？”
Klaus:” Afraid of what？”
Angel:” Death, betray, lonely？ Take your pick.”
Klaus抿紧了唇:” Don’t think I won’t kill you.”
Angel反而笑了，后退半步:” No, Klaus,you won’t kill me.”
Klaus:” How can you be so sure？”
Angel:” I’ve been work with all kinds of artist, I know the look you give me. How can you kill the only prefect creature in world？”
Klaus的脸崩了一秒钟就大笑了出来，Angel也露出一个浅笑。
“Oh, Angel.” Klaus走上一步，伸出双手慢慢摩挲Angel的脸，” you are beautiful, smart, really prefect…”
Angel任由Klaus疯子般迷恋的看自己:” So you brought me here to…”
Klaus略略后退半步，打量Angel全身:” to be my model.”
Angel侧过身给自己倒水，小腰一扭，那线条迷人极了。
Angel毫不在意的说:” As expected.”
Salvatore宅。
Elena，Stefan，Damon，Jenna，Alaric和Elijah聚在一起，Ric带回了Klaus的口信——the sacrifice happens tonight.
Stefan焦急的在屋中转来转去，Damon坐在一旁，看起来有些心不在焉，Elijah坐在角落，冷静的看着众人的反应。
Elena:” I’ll drink the elixir, Bonnie and Elijah will kill Klaus, and then all of this will finally be over.”
Stefan:” If it works.”
Elena:” It will work.”
Stefan:” What if it won’t？ Can’t we find another way？”
Elena:” There is no other way.”
Stefan还想说什么，他的电话突然响了。
Stefan:” Hello. Angel？”
众人都看了过来，Damon猛然绷直了身体。
Stefan隐晦了扫了一眼Damon，把手机开了功放放在桌子上。
Stefan:” Angel where are you？”
Angel:” Ric’s place. Of course now it’s occupied by Klaus.”
Elena焦急的说:” Klaus took him？”
Stefan:” Are you alright？”
Angel:” Oh don’t worry. Klaus won’t hurt me.”
Stefan:” How can you be so sure？”
Angel:” What can I say, there are two kinds of man will fall in love with me instantly, first gay, second the artist. So yeah, I’m sure.”
Elijah挑了挑嘴角，Damon抿紧了唇。
Stefan:” So you’re get along with him？”
Angel:” Not bad. And Katherine offers great company.(Katherine翻了个白眼，Angel笑了) Klaus has been very busy. Doppelganger, moonstone, and it’s just too easy to make a vampire, so there is only one thing left.”
Stefan:” Werewolf.”
Angel:” Guess you guys better check on the Lockwood.”
Stefan:” We will.”
Angel:” Klaus got two witches. One of them is a young girl, Greta, Martin’s daughter I suppose.”
Stefan:” Ok. Listen Angel, if Klaus isn’t there, come back! It’s too risky for you to stay.”
Angel:” Relax Stefan, I want to stay here. And you listen to me. You only got one chance to cross a man like Klaus, so I really suggest you think that through. Maybe, ask Bonnie to test the magic potion from Elijah？”
Stefan:” I will. That’s all I can count on now.”
Angel:” And last advice, check your protection list, make sure everyone’s under cover.”
Stefan:” Already sure you are missed. Angel, take care.”
Angel:” Yeah I will. Good luck.”
Angel挂掉电话，Katherine嘲讽的说:” So you are the spy now.”
Angel:” That’s all you took from that？”
Katherine挑起眉:” You don’t worry if I tell Klaus？”
Angel仿佛没听见她的威胁一样，拎了本书悠闲的坐到躺椅上:” He won’t mind. It only makes his game more interesting.”
Katherine不爽的抿了抿嘴:” How can you know Klaus so well？”
Angel头也没抬:” He’s a lot like my ex-boss. Frankly Klaus is much more simple than him.”
Katherine:” That’s the first time I heard someone use that word to describe Klaus.”
Angel合上了书:” That’s enough about me. Let’s talk about the upcoming event.”
Katherine:” Ah, the sacrifice. What,you worry about Elena？”
Angel笑了:” Well, maybe. But Elijah brought a magic potion he got from the witch that can spare a doppelganger’s life.”
Katherine猛地抬起头盯着Angel:” What？”
Angel:” Five hundred years ago.”
Katherine难以置信的看着Angel:” What did you say？”
Angel终于收起了笑容:” He got a potion to save doppelganger’s life 500 years ago. I suppose I don’t need to speak up that’s for whom.”
“That’s not true.” Katherine忍不住摇头,” you’re lying!”
Angel坐直了身体:” Why would I lie about that.”
Katherine身体轻轻颤抖着，Angel拿起了书，正准备翻开的时候Katherine喊了一句”You are lying!”，面目狰狞的扑了过来。
Angel被Katherine按在躺椅上，Katherine双眼变得血红，尖尖的牙齿就在Angel上方十公分处。
但她没有咬下来。
Angel伸出手，轻轻抚摸着Katherine长长的卷发，一只手摸了摸她眼睛周围暴起的血管:” Kathy, it’s ok to feel. It’s ok to be regret. You are a vampire. You got an eternity to make things right.”
Katherine看着Angel，过了很久才收起了尖牙，将头埋在了Angel肩上。
Angel轻轻搂住Katherine，感觉到她的颤抖。
但直到最后，她也没有哭。
Salvatore宅。
Elena:” Tyler was back in town for Ms Lockwood. But he and Caroline are missing now! Matt said he saw a guy token them to the tomb!”
Stefan:” Ok, ok Elena, calm down. We can save them. We will save them.”
Damon拎起外套就走:” I’ll do it.”
Stefan在门口追上了Damon:” Damon are you sure？”
Damon:” Stop asking all that questions! I just want to pick up a fight.”
说完，Damon甩开Stefan的手离开了。
Stefan只能无奈的在他身后喊:” Careful!”
Damon走后没多久，Bonnie破门而入，身后还跟着Jeremy和John。。。
Stefan:” Bonnie？ This’s not a good time.”
Bonnie:” We find another way.”
Damon赶到tomb，迎接他的是Klaus的巫师Maddox，和十多个被Compelled的人。
Damon撇了撇嘴:” Just what I need.”
在Damon费尽艰辛放到了所有人并杀了Maddox的时候，月亮已经升起来了，前方，一只狼从Tomb中跑了出来。。。
Salvatore宅门口。
Klaus微笑着出现在Stefan和Elena面前。。。
