11、10. The Sacrifice ...
-
Angel: Deal.
——————————————————————————
Damon救走了Caroline之后来到Ric的公寓，在楼前遇见了Klaus。
Damon:” Let him go.”
“I’ve heard about you. Crazy, impulsive vampire, fell in love with his brother’s girl.” Klaus笑着说，扫了一眼Ric房间透出的光,” well, seems like that’s old news.”
楼上，屏息偷听的Katherine惊讶的看了一眼Angel。
Damon毫不退让的看着Klaus。
Klaus:” No one can resist his charm, isn’t it？”
Damon上前一步:” Don’t you dare…”
Klaus笑了，按住Damon冲过来的拳头:” All I did is sent an invitation.” 他凑在Damon耳边，仿佛非常亲密的说,” He chose to leave you.”
Damon愤怒的挥起一拳，可Klaus比他快得多，有力得多，Damon几乎没有还手之力的被按到了地上。
Klaus瞥了一眼Damon被Tyler咬伤的手臂，更加愉快的笑了。
Ric的公寓。
Klaus:” Katarina, I need you to do something for me.”
Katherine:” Yes？”
Klaus递过一只手机:” Call the Salvatore house, pretend you’re Elena.”
Katherine迟疑着接过手机，可Angel突然站起来把手机夺了过来。
Klaus:” What are you doing？”
Angel:” I can ask you the same thing. Elena did whatever you asked. Why are you still punish her？”
Klaus:” That’s for Damon killed Maddox and let go the wolf.”
Angel:” So what？ Don’t tell me you don’t have a back-up.”
Klaus像个恶作剧得逞的小男孩一样笑了:” You know me so well.”
Angel:” When we do something, follows the plan A. When plan A failed, there will be plan B. Even though plan B failed, there will be plan C.”
Klaus大笑着拍了拍Angel的肩膀,” Now, tell me why I won’t use Elena’s aunt.”
Angel:” Don’t push them so hard Klaus. The harder you push them, the harder they are gonna push back. After a thousand years, why take risk now？”
Klaus颔首想了想:” Fine. 反正这个小镇上最不缺的就是人。”
Klaus看了看窗外的月亮:” I should go now.”转身过来对Angel说,” will you go with me？”
Angel:” You’re gonna turn to a big wolf, that won’t be pretty.”
Klaus耸耸肩，走过来低下头，拉起Angel的手亲了一下:” Guess I’ll see you after I come back, love.”
Angel:” Of course.”
林中空地。
Elena被Greta带到林中，Greta一抬手，一个火圈圈住了Elena。
一个陌生女孩被扔到了第二个火圈之中。
“Good evening lovelies.”
Jules被Klaus扔进了第三个火圈之中。
“Shall we start？”
满月当空，Greta将月光石扔进石盆，念出咒语，火焰之中，Klaus挖出了Jules的心脏，鲜血流进石盆中，接着，陌生的吸血鬼也被Klaus刺穿了心脏。
Klaus来到Elena面前。
Klaus:” It’s time.”
Stefan忍不住冲了出来。
Stefan:” No!!! Please Klaus, I’m begging you.”
Klaus摇了摇头:” You won’t stop me.”
Klaus在Stefan冲向Elena之前将Stefan撂倒，抄起一节木桩将Stefan钉到了地上。
Elena:” Stefan no!”
Elena微微颤抖着，悲愤的看着Klaus，Klaus微笑着低下头，吸食Elena的鲜血直到她死去。
Stefan痛苦的闭上了眼睛。
石盆中的火焰终于熄灭，明亮的月光下，Klaus全身的骨骼逐一断开，在大笑中开始变身。
忽然间电闪雷鸣，Bonnie高声念着咒语，从山路上走了下来。
Klaus痛苦的吼叫着。
Doctor Martin和Luka强行把Greta带走了。
Damon抱起Elena，将他放到了Stefan身边，拔出钉住Stefan的木桩。
Stefan:” Wake up Elena.”
Damon:” Get her out of here.”
Stefan:” What about you？”
Damon:” I’m not leaving until he’s dead. Go!”
雷电止息的瞬间，Elijah毫无征兆的出现在了Klaus面前。
Elijah冷静的看着在地上挣扎扭动的Klaus。
Klaus:” Elijah…”
Elijah:” Hello, brother.”
Elijah看了Klaus一会，猛然伸出手插进了Klaus的胸膛。
Elijah:” In the name of our family, Nicklaus…”
Klaus:” I didn’t bury them at sea! Their bodies are safe.”
Elijah用力的手一顿。
Klaus:” If you kill me,you’ll never find them.”
Damon:” Are you out of your mind？ After all this you still trust him？!”
Klaus:” Elijah, I can take you to them…I give you my word, brother.”
Bonnie:” Do it and I’ll take you both out.”
Elijah:” You’ll die.”
Bonnie:” I don’t care.”
Elijah低头看了一眼Klaus，在Damon冲过去之前留下一句” I’m sorry.”，抱着Klaus离开了。
女巫的白房子里。
被困在里面的Jenna, Alaric, Jeremy, John正焦急的等待着消息。
Stefan抱回了Elena。
John默默走到室外，在Elena醒来的一瞬间死去了。
Lockwood宅。
刚刚跟Matt分手的Caroline，在Tyler的安慰下笑着哭出声。
第二天。
在John Gilbert的葬礼上，Stefan得知了Damon的咬伤。
Stefan:” We’ll find something. A cure.”
Damon:” There’s no cure, Stefan.”
Stefan:” We kept Elena alive. We found a way when there is no way. Hey. I will do this.”
Damon拍了拍Stefan的肩膀，一个人离开了。
Salvatore宅。
Damon扔下外套。
“Hang it yourself. I don’t do housekeeping.”
Damon打开酒柜。
“Have you ever tried 12 years Chivas Regal？ I know it’s kinda soft, but it used to be my favourite.”
Damon走到沙发边。
“Did you write them in the book？ Didn’t know you’re Gone with the Wind guy.”
Damon自嘲的笑了一声，走到窗边拉开了窗帘，摘下了手上的戒指。。。
Stefan猛冲了过来，将身上开始被灼伤的Damon按到了墙上。
Damon:” Get off me.”
Stefan:” You are not doing this.”
Damon:” Just did.”
Stefan咬了咬牙，将Damon扔进了Salvatore宅的地牢锁了起来。
Stefan:” You’re not dying today.”
某处树林。
Klaus在明媚的阳光下醒来。
Klaus:” That was amazing.”
几件衣服被扔到他身边。
Elijah:” Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf.”
Klaus:” I can change at will, then. It’s good to know. I remember every single kill.”
Elijah:” Yes, I’ve been cleaning up your little mess along the way.”
Klaus:” Just like old times, brother.”
Elijah:” You’ve had your fun. I believe we have a bargain.”
Klaus:” That’s right. Now, what was it again？ Oh,yeah, I remember. That’s it. You wish to be reunited with our family.”
Elijah:” You gave me your word, Nicklaus.”
Klaus:” What kind of brother would break his bond？ Even though you did try to kill me.”
Elijah:” I could have. But I didn’t.”
Klaus:” And now no one can. Not even you. Relax, Elijah, all is forgiven.”
Elijah:” Where are they？”
Klaus:” You need to lighten up. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you to them soon enough.”
Alaric的公寓。
等的有些无聊的Katherine和安心读书的Angel。
Angel接起电话:” Hello？ Stefan, how is the sacrifice？”
Stefan:” Yeah, Elena is safe. We all survived, except Elijah didn’t kill Klaus.”
Angel轻轻哼了一声:” Hum, I’m not surprised. How can you kill your own brother？”
Stefan:” Ah, speak of brother, there are something happened to Damon.”
Angel:” What do you mean？”
Stefan:” Tyler Lockwood bit him.”
Angel猛地站了起来:” What？”
Stefan:” We don’t have much time.”
Angel:”…”
Stefan:” Angel？”
Angel闭上眼睛又睁开:” Yeah. Ok,you talk with Bonnie. I’ll wait for Klaus.”
Stefan:” Alright. And Angel!”
Angel:” What？”
Stefan:” Please help him.”
Angel:” I will.”
Angel挂掉电话，默默地站在那里。
Katherine:” Damon got a werewolf bit？”
Angel:” Yep.”
Katherine:” What are you gonna do？”
Angel:” Well, speak of vampire and werewolf, there’s only one person got them both.”
另一边，Stefan也从Bonnie处得知，Klaus是cure的关键。
Stefan:” There might be a cure, but I have to find Klaus to get it.”
Elena:” No. He’s gonna kill you.”
Stefan:” No, he had the chance to kill me, but he didn’t. Whatever Damon’s done, whatever has led him here, I’m the one that made him become a vampire in the first place. So if there’s a chance for a cure, I owe it to him to find it.”
地牢中的Damon。
Damon恍惚的望向牢门，好像又回到了145年前，Salvatore的白色大宅，穿着军装的年轻军官走过客房，通过半掩的门看向住在客房的人。
Angel正在解着袖扣，Damon看向穿衣镜中映出来的、他敞着衣领露出的漂亮锁骨和胸膛，还有Angel低头时优美的颈部线条。他平时凌乱柔软的头发一丝不苟的梳了起来，旁边的衣架上挂了一件时髦的燕尾服，Damon可以想象Angel穿上它时会是多么的漂亮优雅。
Angel察觉到Damon的视线，抬起头与他在镜中对视。看见他，Angel露出了一个明亮温和的笑容，就好像Damon曾经每天都能看到的一样。
Angel转过头，看着走进房间的Damon，笑着说:” Well, seems like you wish to meet me 145 years ago.”
Damon迷恋的看着Angel，呢喃着回答:” Yes…”
就在Damon的手将要握住Angel的腰的时候，一阵刺痛从他手臂上传来，Damon猛然睁开眼，仍旧是他一个人待在冰冷的地牢中。
Ric的公寓。
Klaus带着Elijah进门。
Angel:” Look who is back.”
Klaus:” We’ll talk later, my brother requires my immediate attention.”
Klaus走进房间里，Angel看着Elijah。
Elijah:” I’m sorry Angel, but you know what family means.”
Angel低头笑了下:” No I don’t.” Klaus突然出现在Elijah身后,” and neither do you.” Klaus手中的匕首骤然刺穿了Elijah的心脏。
Katherine惊得一跳。
Elijah难以置信的看着自己心口的匕首，愤怒的握住Klaus的肩膀。
Klaus:” Shh…”
Elijah变成灰色的“尸体”倒在了地上。
Klaus转向Angel:” Now, we need to talk.”
Angel耸了耸肩，Klaus猛然抓着他撞到了墙上，Angel丝毫没有反抗。
Klaus:” You knew. You knew Elijah’s here. You knew he tried to kill me. You lied to me…”
Angel:” Yes. He compelled Katherine not to tell you. That was my plan.”
Klaus:” Why did you do that!”
Angel握住Klaus卡住他脖子的手:” You can punish me later. I have something to ask you now.”
Klaus松开了手，审慎的看着Angel:” What？”
Angel:” Do you know how to cure a werewolf bit？”
Klaus看着Angel一会，突然笑了，他转身走到厨房的柜台边，伸出一只手说:” Katarina.”
Katherine慢慢将手放了过去。
Klaus双眼猛然变成了棕黄色，一口咬上了Katherine的手腕。
“No!” Katherine惊恐的看着自己手腕上狰狞的伤口。
Klaus挑了挑嘴角，咬开了自己的手腕塞进了Katherine嘴里。
Katherine被灌进了几口血，惊讶的发现自己手腕上的咬伤愈合如初。
This is just prefect. Angel嘲讽的想。
Angel抿了抿唇:” Your blood is the cure.”
Klaus抹掉嘴角的血:” Gotta love mother nature.”
Angel:” Well, that’s easy then. Name your price.”
Klaus找出一个小瓶子，手攥住一把刀，鲜血不停地流进瓶子里:” I don’t know you are willing to save him.”
Angel:” That’s my decision. Name your price.”
Klaus专注的看了Angel一会，说:” My price, is let me turn you.”
Angel:” You want turn me to a vampire？”
Klaus:” Yes.”
Angel眼里瞬间划过很多情绪，但当他再看向Klaus，那些情绪都被完美的埋藏在了那双深海蓝色的眼睛里。
Angel:” You want to feed me on your blood, kill me and…”
Klaus:” And I will deliver this to Damon, make sure he will survive.”
Angel微微转开了眼，四十年间所有的经历、所有人的面孔迅速的划过，中东的沙漠西藏的雪山，德国的城堡纽约的酒吧，北极的寒冰巴黎的小屋，William, Louis, Eric, Victor, Maximilian, Alexander, K, Scorpion, Leo, Victoria, Isabella…
You are Angel.
Don’t leave me…
真是不知道哪辈子欠了你的。
Angel自嘲的笑笑，转回脸来看着Klaus:” Deal.”
Katherine抿紧了唇，默默地看着Angel。
Klaus:” Really？”
Angel:” Yes, Klaus, I said, deal.”
Klaus的眼角微微抽动了一下，又划开自己的手掌，血液流进了杯子里。
“Very well then,” Klaus将手中的被子递给Angel,” drink up.”
Angel接过杯子，一饮而尽。
Klaus猛地扑了过去，一口咬住了Angel的脖颈。
血液香甜的味道瞬间弥漫，Katherine咬紧了下唇缩在墙角，吸血鬼的本能让她疯狂的渴望Angel的血，心里却有点悲哀。
Angel的掌心下意识的冒出了一只匕首，又慢慢的收了回去。
有点冷。
Angel想，随后他就完全失去了意识。
Klaus难以克制的舔了舔Angel的伤口，将完全软下来的Angel抱在怀里，拿过一只杯子，接了一点Angel的血在里面。
Klaus将Angel放在床上，他坐在床边，温柔的抚摸着Angel的脸。
Klaus:” You see Angel, love and care, they only make you weak. Hope you won’t hate me when you come back.”
Klaus吻了一下Angel的额头，房门处传来声音。
Klaus看一眼来人:” You just keep popping up, don’t you.”
Stefan踏进门的一霎那就受不了了，他的双眼变得血红，痛苦的抓着墙壁低声嘶吼着，他努力控制着自己离开，可是没有用，Angel的血液香甜的味道让他全身沸腾。
Stefan看到床上仿佛睡着的Angel和他颈边残留的血渍。
Stefan:” No… no…”
Klaus:” He lied to me. That’s just paying his price.”
Stefan摇着头，绝望的跪倒在地。
Klaus:” Now, what can I do to you？”
在Angel血液味道的弥漫下，Stefan克制不住的接过了Klaus递过的杯子，他的双手颤抖着，却仍是忍不住喝了个干净。再是血袋，然后又是一袋，然后又是一袋。。。
Klaus愉快的看着Stefan疯狂的吸着血:” That’s the spirit.”
他拿着那个小瓶走向Katherine:” Sweetheart, take this to Damon.”
Katherine:” You want me to leave？”
Klaus:” Yes. And if I were you…” Katherine拿过瓶子一闪就没人了,” I’d hurry.”
Stefan:” She’ll never take it to him! She’ll never take it to him…”
Salvatore宅。
Elena看到已经躺在地上，虚弱的不停咳血的Damon，费力的将他抬回了床上。
“Angel…”
Elena:” What Damon？”
可Damon没有回应她，他看到自己坐在大厅一角，一个盛大的舞会正在进行着，女士们繁复华丽的裙摆，绅士们的雪茄燃起骄傲的烟雾。
“Ladies and gentlemen! Let’s welcome…”
人们纷纷停了下来，窃窃私语的望着大门。
Damon也站了起来，望向大门外影影绰绰的身影。
是你吗。。。是你吗。。。
“Lord Nicklaus, and his partner.”
大门豁然打开，门口，Klaus笑着迈了进来，他的另一只手牵着。。。
Damon:” No! No! …”
Elena轻轻拍着Damon的脸颊:” Damon! Damon, wake up! Don’t fall asleep.”
Damon:” … this is even painful then I thought…”
Elena环住Damon，忍住脸上的泪水:” There’s still hope.”
Damon:” There are a lot of choices that got me here. I deserve this… Life is fair…”
不管命运曾怎样的不公，它把你送到了我面前。。。
所以我不会有任何怨言。
It just...
I should have told you… what you mean to me…
Damon脸色变得苍白，虚弱的闭上了眼。
Elena:” Damon…”
看着憔悴的Damon，Elena满心焦急，她紧紧抱住Damon，将脸颊贴在他的额头上。
“Quite cozy there.”
Katherine的声音在门边响起，吓了Elena一跳。
Elena:” Katherine…”
“Don’t pout, I bring the cure.” Katherine走向Damon床边，瞥了一眼Elena,” I thought you were dead.”
Elena:” I was.”
Damon看着Katherine，没有说话。
Katherine将手中的瓶子递到Damon嘴边，Damon喝了Klaus的血，正要长出一口气，忽然一阵味道飘了过来。
Damon猛地抓住Katherine的左手，颤抖着举到眼前，上面，有一道快要干涸的血迹。
Katherine:” Wow, didn’t think you can be that strong.”
Damon:” What is this…”
Katherine:” Didn’t think you recognize this either.”
Damon的声音在颤抖:” No… No! What did he do!”
Katherine:” What are you thinking Damon What do you think he will do to someone betrayed him？”
Damon摇着头:” No… no…”
Katherine轻易地挣开了Damon的手，怜爱的抬起Damon的脸，一字一顿的说:” Klaus, drunk every drop of blood, out of Angel…”
“No!!!” 悲愤欲绝的Damon从床上弹了起来，将Katherine撞到了墙上。
房顶的吊灯不住的摇晃，Katherine的脸在明明暗暗间显得格外残酷，她举起手上的空瓶子，露出一个冷笑:” In exchange, of this.”
Damon完全僵住了，他拒绝接受Katherine的话，无法做出任何反应。
Katherine将自己左手的血迹蹭到Damon脸上:” Face it, Damon. He’s dead. You have lost him, forever.”
Damon喊了一声No，将Katherine甩到一边，瞬间没了踪影。
Elena焦急的问:” Where did he go？ Where is Stefan？”
Katherine:” You sure you care？”
Elena咬紧了唇:” Where is he.”
Katherine迈上一步，看着Elena的眼睛:” His timing was kinda suck. Stefan walked in right after Klaus killed Angel. Sure you knew what Angel’s blood can do to him.”
泪水涌出了Elena的眼眶，她不停摇头后退。
Katherine:” He gave himself over to Klaus, make sure Damon get the cure. I wouldn’t expect him anytime soon.”
Elena:” No. It can’t be…”
Katherine:” Relax Elena. Angel is dead, Stefan is gone. Looks like you and Damon can use each other’s company.”
Katherine将手中的小瓶抛向Elena，高傲的一笑，转身走了。
Ric的公寓。
没有Klaus，没有Stefan，也没有Angel。
Damon一进门，就看见了地上散落的四五个瘪瘪的血袋，和地板上大片的鲜血。
床上，枕头上暗红的血迹还残留着Angel甜美的气息。。。
Damon扑倒在床前，攥住了枕头，泪水终于涌出了那双冰蓝色的眼眸。
“No… Angel…” Damon抱紧了那个枕头，将自己埋在Angel的气味之中，失声痛哭。
某处公寓。
Angel猛然睁开了眼睛。
Klaus微笑着抚摸Angel的头发。
“Welcome back, my Angel…”
