23、18. Homecoming dance ...


  •   Angel: It’s one reason why I love you.
      ——————————————————————————
      Salvatore宅。
      Elena,Stefan,Damon,Rebekah,都戒备的看着Mikael。
      Mikael: “Relax, Rebekah. I’m not here for you. The Salvatore boys, I presume. And you, Elena, the latest doppelganger.”
      Elena: “Yes.”
      Rebekah: “Nic was my family. If you were after him,you were after me.”
      Mikael: “He blinded you, Rebekah. He killed your mother.”
      Rebekah悲愤的上前一步: “I know what he did. And he’ll pay for it. But Nic was not born a killer. None of us were. You did this to us when you turned us into vampires. You destroyed our family. Not him…”
      Mikael: “We want to protect our children…”
      Rebekah摇头后退,气氛降到冰点。
      许久,Mikael问: “Where is Nicklaus?”
      Stefan: “Hunting down the wolves, I suppose.”
      Damon忍不住握紧了椅背。
      Mikael浑不在意的说: “Um…but some had told me that he came back to visit a friend. Please tell me who is so foolish to be that boy’s friend.”
      Stefan露出若有所思的表情,Damon的手握的更紧了,Elena张了张嘴,又闭上了。
      没有人说话,Mikael似乎也一点都不着急,只是站在那里动也不动,眼神不时扫过一圈,似乎在等谁会最先崩溃。
      “I suppose you are talking about me.”
      Mikael缓缓转过身,看着门口处面带微笑的Angel,双眼变得血红。
      Damon猛地一个闪身,挡道了Angel身前。
      Damon: “Don’t you dare touch him.”
      Mikael笑了笑,似乎在嘲笑Damon的不自量力。的确,在一千多岁的始祖面前,年轻的吸血鬼没有任何胜算,更何况这个维京人在尚是人类的时候,就已经是个善战的武士。
      Angel却好像根本没在乎紧张的气氛,很放松的把头放到Damon肩上,双手环住他的腰,从背后贴上了自己的吸血鬼爱人,大大方方的在Damon脸上亲了一口。
      Angel埋在Damon颈间蹭蹭: “Don’t be like this. Damon, don’t be so sweet. He could be jealous.” Angel带着得意而欠扁的笑容, “Anyway, he’s that kind guy whose wife just can’t help to have an affair.”
      那句话彻底点着了Mikael,他大吼一声扑了过来。
      而Angel显然早有准备,不仅来得及把Damon推开,还顺利把Mikael架住了。
      Mikael根本没想到,眼前的小吸血鬼竟然还有跟自己一拼之力,这让本来就被激怒的他更加愤怒。
      Angel其实也不好过,始祖的速度与力量是他这个血龄刚刚三个月的吸血鬼无法想象的。不过Angel在还是人类的时候同样有着人类最登峰造极的格斗技巧,因此他在与Mikael的打斗中还能显得游刃有余。
      不过这样一来,想要放倒Mikael就十分艰难了,不过嘛,Angel本来也不需要那么做。
      两人打了将近十分钟才停了一下,面对面慢慢绕着圈子。Mikael面色不变,而Angel已经开始喘气了。
      Damon简直快急死了,可两人打架他实在插不上手,而现在,Angel似乎在背后冲他摆了摆手?
      Mikael这会倒是冷静了一点: “You are good, boy.”
      Angel: “Thank you,you too. But if I were a thousand years old, I can do better.”
      显然他又挑衅成功了,Mikael再次脸色一变扑了过来,两人又扭打成一团。
      不过这次Angel显得开始力不从心,没过多久他就被Mikael一拳击中了下巴,虽然嘴角的伤口迅速愈合,仍旧流出了一道鲜血。
      Angel想擦去血,Mikael尖牙暴涨,抓住Angel咬了上去。
      “No!!!!” Damon扑上去不过显然有人更快。不知何时出现的Klaus手里拿着一把匕首,从背后插进了他父亲的心脏。
      Mikael猛地转过脸,双目圆睁的瞪着Klaus,可Klaus没有松手。
      他们身后,失血过多的Angel瞬间软倒,跌进了Damon怀里。
      Elena喊了一声“No!”猛地站了起来,被Stefan按住拦到了身后。Rebekah呆呆的望着自己的父亲与哥哥,眼睁睁的看着父亲变成灰色,栽倒在地。
      Klaus终于松开了手,大口的喘着气,眼中无意识的充满了泪水,他抬起头,迷茫的看了看四周,似乎不相信自己千年的躲避就这么结束了。
      Angel喝完了一个血袋,站起来,走到房间中央,抱住了Klaus。
      Angel: “It’s over.”
      Klaus眼中的泪水瞬间滑了下来,他看一眼地上父亲的“尸体”,痉挛一样大力抱住了Angel。
      Damon皱起了眉,手中的毛巾上还沾着Angel的血。
      Angel拍了拍Klaus,松开了他。
      Klaus: “Rebekah…”
      Rebekah泪流满面,悲愤的看着自己的哥哥,忽然猛地扑了上去尖叫着又踢又打。而Klaus什么也不说,默默地任自己的妹妹撒泼。
      Angel的嘴唇还有些苍白,Damon心疼的亲亲他的脸,半抱着他离开了。
      客厅里,终于不耐烦的Klaus猛地抓住Rebekah的手: “Enough!!! I was tried to protect you!”
      Rebekah仇恨的看着他: “You killed mother. You killed father. You killed Elijah, Finn and Kol… if make me all alone is your protection you did it!”
      Klaus: “You are not alone Bekka,you have me.”
      Rebekah: “I don’t want you!”
      说完她转身跑了。

      Damon的房间。
      Angel被Damon扶着躺到床上,无奈的说: “I’m not that fragile.”
      Damon: “Darling,you almost became a zombie. Forgive me if I’m a little worried.”
      Angel不好意思的笑了笑,顺从的躺好。
      Damon: “Take a nap. I’ll make you something to eat.”
      Angel点点头,乖巧的闭上眼睛。
      Damon亲了一下他的额头,走出去关好门,背靠在门板上,极轻极慢的呼了一口气。
      当Mikael咬到Angel的时候,没有人知道他有多害怕。
      Damon最后翻了个白眼,直起腰,看到了楼梯转角上他的弟弟。

      Damon推着Stefan一直到了树林里。
      Stefan: “So we can talk now?”
      Damon: “Yep.”
      Stefan立刻炸毛了: “Damn it Damon, why did you do that!! You told Angel Mikael was back so he can work with Klaus to get rid of him!”
      Damon: “Mikael feed on vampires! He is dangerous to Angel!”
      Stefan: “Ha! Like Klaus to Elena.”
      Damon无话可说。兄弟两人为了各自的爱人,再度走向了对峙。
      过了一会Damon才说: “Angel won’t let Klaus hurt Elena.”
      Stefan: “So now you are trusting Klaus.”
      Damon本来转身要走,听到Stefan的话回头说: “No, I’m trusting Angel.”
      可是Stefan的话继续从背后传来: “Because he can change him? Or save him.”

      Angel醒来后下楼,Damon已经准备好了食物。两人坐下就餐,一直到甜点Damon也没有说话。
      Angel伸手握住Damon的手腕: “I know you must be worried…”
      Damon哐啷一声扔了勺子。
      可怜的勺子,又变成了波浪形。
      Angel心里明白,这次真是把Damon惹怒了。
      Damon深深吸了一口气,尽量平静的问: “Why are you taking Klaus’s said?”
      Angel咬了咬唇刚想解释,Damon就跳了起来大声说: “Let me speak for you! You want to change him. You want to prove that even someone like him could be changed”
      Angel也站了起来: “Why would I do that. Finish your statement.”
      Damon: “… You look him like Victor.”
      Angel: “…Yes.”
      Damon怒极反笑: “Why are you so honest?”
      Angel: “You want me lie to you?”
      Damon: “If you are planning leaving me some day, please! Lie to me.”
      Angel: “I don’t want to leave you!”
      Damon: “Well, maybe, but clearlyyou’re still thinking about your world.”
      Angel偏过头去,深吸了一口气平静自己,看着Damon的眼睛说: “Damon,you don’t recognise witch’s script doesn’t mean I don’t either.”
      Damon愣了愣: “Oh…”
      Angel: “I know what I have given up when I accepted Klaus’s condition.”
      Damon垂下了眼帘。
      Angel: “I think him like Victor,yes. I want to change him,yes. You know why? Because I already got my happy ending! I’m so happy right now that makes deep in my heart, I feel guilty. Is it wrong to want either of them to change? Is it so wrong to want everyone I had left behind still have some hope for their happy ending?”
      Damon握住Angel的手,低声说: “I think the fear of losing you is making me weak.”
      Angel伸手摸摸Damon的脸: “Get stronger. My happy ending is counting on you.”
      Angel转身离开了。

      当天晚上,Angel在空荡荡的大床上翻滚了一圈。
      好~空~旷~啊!
      撇了撇嘴,Angel胡思乱想了一会,默默用拉丁文背了一遍元素周期表,终于睡着了。
      他睡熟以后,一个人轻轻坐到床边,把他头上捂的枕头拿下来,半躺到他身边,伸手轻轻环住了他。
      Angel在睡梦中皱皱鼻子,拱到那个人怀里继续睡。
      Damon无声的笑了笑,低头蹭了蹭Angel的脸。

      第二天,Salvatore宅,Angel以前的房间。
      Angel推开门,Rebekah蜷在窗台上。
      Angel笑了笑走进门: “That used to be my spot.”
      Rebekah笑得很勉强: “I have no place to go. Isn’t that pathetic…”
      Angel: “Well, I know one thing that can cheer you up.”
      说完他走出门去,Rebekah: “There is nothing … Oh…”
      Angel拿着一个大大的礼盒进门,将它放在床上,微笑着看着Rebekah。
      Angel: “Open it.”
      Rebekah露出小女孩羞涩喜悦的笑容,爬下窗台,小心翼翼的拉开了缎带。
      礼盒里,是一件红色的小礼服。
      Rebekah激动得惊呼出声。
      Angel笑着: “I heard the homecoming is tonight.”
      Rebekah拿起礼服冲到镜子前比划着,转过头看Angel。
      Angel: “What are you waiting for?”
      Rebekah笑着冲进了浴室。
      穿衣镜前,Rebekah在给自己化妆。
      Rebekah: “Embarrassing truth, this is my first high school dance.”
      Angel: “Ever?”
      Rebekah: “I never really had time for high school before. Nic and I were always moving around. Running…”
      Angel: “You still mad at him?”
      Rebekah: “Yes! Shouldn’t I?”
      Angel拍了拍她的肩膀,到一边的桌子上拿梳子,Rebekah追问到: “Why are you taking his side?”
      Angel给Rebekah梳了梳头发: “You may not know this, but I was born in a lab, as an achievement of a project. I never had any family… But, there was one time, I thought I have one. Well, anyway, we both screwed up.”
      Rebekah: “I heard you were from another world.”
      Angel: “Nicklaus is really like him. They’re both smart, ambitious, never trust anyone but himself, and can’t take no for an answer.”
      Rebekah接过梳子,低声说: “Yes he certainly is…”
      Angel: “So when he told me by himself that he killed your mother, I saw a glance of hope.”
      Rebekah仍旧忍不住湿了眼眶: “I can’t forgive him. How could he kill her…”
      Angel握住她的肩,看着镜子里她流泪的眼睛: “There is a reason for that.”
      Rebekah猛地转过身: “What reason?!”
      Angel: “No. You shouldn’t hear from me. You should hear from your brother.”
      Rebekah黯然的垂下眼帘: “He would never tell me.”
      “Well, when I say trust is earned, it works in either way.” Angel递过纸巾, “Ok, no tears. Not for tonight.”
      Rebekah吸了吸鼻子,勉强笑了笑,拿过化妆盒重新补妆,换了一个话题: “Where is Damon?”
      Angel耸了耸肩: “I don’t know.”
      Rebekah: “Did you two have a fight?”
      Angel: “Ah… not a fight. I’m just not sure about something.”
      Rebekah: “I heard you became a vampire to save his life. Are you worried he may love you for that?”
      Angel: “Is that too much to ask?”
      Rebekah: “I don’t see you have anything to worry about. That man’s eyes sparkling when he saw you.”
      Angel笑了,给Rebekah戴上项链: “Rebekah, we are vampires. All our emotions have been magnified. Better safe than sorry.”
      Rebekah点了点头,在镜子前转了一圈: “You got me matching jewels. That’s sweet.”
      Angel: “I can do more than that.”
      Angel说着,拿出了一个茉莉的手环,Rebekah难以置信的看着他。
      Angel: “Well, if you want to be the homecoming queen, beside the prefect look,you need to have a prefect date. May I?”
      Rebekah惊喜的说: “Of course.”
      Angel: “Ok, let’s check out my suit first.”
      Angel抬起手臂,Rebekah小心地挽住,激动得小脸通红。

      当晚,学校体育馆因为被水淹了,而取消了派对。不过Tyler在Klaus的吩咐下将舞会挪到了他家。
      Elena挽着Stefan进门,脸上仍是忧心忡忡的表情。
      Elena: “So much for homecoming.”
      Stefan: “You alright?”
      Elena挑了挑嘴角: “There’s Caroline. She doesn’t know anything. Act normal.”
      Caroline急匆匆的走了过来: “Hey, Klaus is here.”
      Stefan: “Really?”
      Caroline: “Yeah, apparently our sired hybrid friend Tyler thought it’d be ok to let his ‘master’ throw a party!”
      Elena吸了一口气,没说什么。
      Caroline皱起了眉: “Well, I expected more surprise.”
      Stefan: “Ah… speak of surprise.”
      大门处一阵骚动,三人转头去看,Rebekah挽着Angel,在众人瞩目中走了进来。
      Caroline: “You got to be kidding me…”

      理所当然的,Rebekah成为了Homecoming Queen。
      Angel陪着她走上台,在她耳边轻声说: “See,you don’t need to use any tricks. You are amazing.”
      Rebekah戴上王冠,紧紧地挽住Angel的手。

      舞会的乐曲再次响起,Angel陪Rebekah跳了一支舞,舞曲的间歇,Klaus冒了出来。
      Klaus: “Can I have a dance with my sister?”
      Rebekah翻了个白眼: “You may.”
      Angel耸耸肩,后退了一步,立刻被怒气冲冲的Caroline拉到了一边。
      Caroline: “What’s the hell?”
      Angel: “Easy girl, dance?”
      Caroline瞪着Angel,抓着他拖来拖去: “I need an explanation.”
      Angel: “I’m seeking a balance. Besides, that Mikael guy almost made me his brunch.”
      Caroline: “Oh give me a break. You took Stefan down in two seconds. There’s no way that original Mikael could get you.”
      我这辈子也没这么跳过舞,Angel无奈的撇撇嘴: “If you say so~~”
      Caroline: “Come on! That freak killed you, killed Tyler, and killed Elena. How can you forgive him?!”
      Angel: “You do know that freak can hear you right?”
      Caroline扫了Klaus一眼,Klaus笑眯眯的冲她点了点头。
      Angel停下舞步,摸了摸她的头发: “Relax, Care, I won’t allow you guys get hurt, from anyone, including that freak.”
      Caroline担忧地说: “But Angel…Don’t put yourself in danger. If he’s willing to do that, he’s not worth to be trusted.”
      Angel: “Thank you.”
      而Klaus与Rebekah那边,气氛可比他俩紧张多了。
      Klaus: “…”
      Rebekah: “…”
      Klaus: “Enough, sister. Mikael’s dead. It finally time for our family reunion.”
      Rebekah: “Yeah, after you daggered them for hundred years.”
      Klaus: “That’s for their own good.”
      Rebekah: “Maybe I can find some way to forgive that, but there’s one thing I’ll never forget. My mother, why did you do that?”
      Klaus: “…”
      Rebekah停了下来: “Tell me…”
      Klaus: “…Not now.”
      Rebekah摇了摇头,后退一步,含着泪水说: “Great. Now…until you tell me anything about whyyou killed my mother, I am not your sister.”
      Rebekah走了几步,回过头对伸出手想抓住她的Klaus说: “Hope you won’t dagger me…I’ll be waiting, waiting for you to become my brother again.”

      Angel拿了一瓶酒,独自走出门,看着草坪上high翻天的高中生们,火爆的乐队,闪烁的灯光,俊男美女们抛来的媚眼……
      Angel叹了一口气。
      一个女生走了过来: “Excuse me? Uh… Angel?”
      Angel礼貌的笑了笑: “Yes?”
      女生: “Damon Salvatore asked me to give you this.”
      Angel接过了那张卡片,女孩笑着走了。
      卡片上:See you at we first met, NOW.

      树林里。
      那一小块空地被缠上了黄色的小灯,Damon也穿着一身西装,站在中间。
      Angel: “So, light this time?”
      Damon: “Well, I’d ask Bonnie to help with the candles, but I don’t want become bacon.”
      Angel: “Bacon sounds right.”
      Damon: “Come here.”
      Angel微笑着走了过去,站在Damon对面,俊美的容颜在黄色的光芒下温暖如玉,这一刻Damon终于承认,也许在两人第一次遇见的时候,他就已动心。
      Damon低声说: “God you’re beautiful…”
      Angel: “I know,you too.”
      Damon拉起Angel的手,紧紧握住。
      Damon: “I love you.”
      Angel: “Wow, very good opening line.”
      Damon笑着捏了一下Angel的脸: “There are too many reasons for that. But here is one I recently discovered.” Damon直视着Angel的双眼, “We all been through darkness, sometimes we are, the darkness. But after all that,you still believe in all the good stuff, love, hope, care, trust… That’s unbelievable.”
      Angel轻声说: “You too.”
      Damon摇了摇头,伸手抚摸Angel的脸: “Maybe. But there is one difference between us. You are not afraid to show it… that’s one reason why I love you.”
      Angel: “And you can see that, it’s one reason why I love you…”
      Damon: “That’s, that’s the first time you actually say it.”
      Angel迈上一步,亲吻Damon的唇。Damon紧紧地抱住了他。
      当然,这两个没有节操的人一旦开始不到最后一步是不会停下的……
      不过,Damon显然会因为某些问题而暂停一下。
      Damon捧住Angel的脸,满怀期待地说: “I love you.”
      Angel笑眯眯的说:“咪兔!”
      Damon翻了个白眼,被Angel得意的扑倒了。

      接下来,地点:树林。人物:Angel,Damon。道具:树,草地。内容:那啥……
      Action!
      ………………………………………………

      Lockwood宅,舞会现场。
      Rebekah一个人站在阴影处默默平静自己的心情。
      “Are you alright?”
      Stefan走了过来,Rebekah笑了笑。
      Stefan: “Where is your date?”
      “Left with your brother, I suppose.” Rebekah自嘲的笑了笑, “I wish he was my brother.”
      Stefan: “Yeah, a lot of things happened to you and your family.”
      Rebekah: “Stop, Stefan. I maybe gonna hate Nic for a long time. That doesn’t mean I will joint your team.”
      Rebekah说完走了几步回头对Stefan说: “I know whyyou love Elena. You want to be good. But keep this in mind, good doesn’t mean right.”

      Salvatore宅。
      Elena与Stefan刚一进门,就看见了慵懒的靠在沙发上的Katherine。
      “Hello you two.” Katherine笑着挑了挑眉, “Looks like we can work together now.”
