24、19. Birthday present ...


  •   Klaus: Happy birthday Caroline.
      ——————————————————————
      神秘瀑布镇。
      清早,Bonnie一个人慢慢走向女巫的白房子。
      房子一如既往的破旧,布满灰尘与蛛网,女巫们的絮语仿佛就在耳边。
      Bonnie走进地下室,里面摆着四具棺材。
      Bonnie走向最里面的一具,打开了它。
      里面躺着Klaus,他穿着西装,脸色苍白,双手交叠在身前,指尖缀着的,却是Elena的项链。
      Bonnie伸手拿起项链,却在碰到的一刹那被惊醒了。

      Grill。
      Alaric和Bonnie一起吃午饭。
      Ric: “So you’ve been dreaming about coffins?”
      Bonnie: “Coffins and Klaus,yes. It’s really weird.”
      Ric: “Is it just a dream or it’s a witch dream? What did other people say?”
      Bonnie: “I haven’t told anyone yet.”
      Ric: “Why?”
      Bonnie: “Matt shouldn’t be involved in this mess anymore. Caroline’s busy fighting with Tyler about the whole sired thing. I barely see Elena and Stefan this week, but...”
      Ric了然: “She told you Angel can’t be trusted.”
      Bonnie无奈的承认: “Yeah.”
      Ric: “So what do you think?”
      Bonnie: “If Angel can change Klaus, that’s a good thing. But I doubt it.”
      Ric: “En.”
      自从Klaus带着大批hybrid驻扎小镇,那些被转化为吸血鬼因而狼人的冲动与残暴被放大的混血给小镇平静的生活添加了不少作料。即使Klaus没有授意他们捣乱,这些混血也经常因一些小事与居民们起冲突。这在知道真相的几人看来,更加如鲠在喉。
      因为与Bonnie冷战而一直心情不佳的Jeremy,也与一个hybrid差点打了起来,幸亏Elena出面阻止了。而Stefan更是毫不介意的见一个杀一个,让气氛变得更加紧张。
      可是今天Bonnie环顾一周,竟然没发现一个hybrid的身影。
      Bonnie: “Where are all the hybrids?”
      Ric: “One of them tried to hit on Angel, Damon’s really mad. Now I guess Klaus put them in low key.”
      Bonnie: “Aha, may he can change him.”

      Angel宅。
      Damon裹着一块浴巾靠在门口,看着Angel在厨房里忙活。
      Damon: “What are you doing?”
      Angel戴着厚手套从烤箱里拿出一个模子,香甜的气息顿时充满了整个厨房: “Caroline’s birthday. Remember? I promised to bake her cake like a month ago.”
      Damon立刻不满,闪到Angel身后,环住Angel的腰,几乎含着他的耳朵说: “You never bake me one…”语气哀怨非常。
      Angel对身后的人形大沙包非常无奈: “It’s her birthday…”
      撒娇无效,Damon迅速执行计划B,把浴巾一扔,抢过Angel手里的奶油枪,一手将Angel翻了个身按在流理台上,暧昧的低声说: “Let me help you then…”
      凉凉的奶油枪不停在身上乱戳这是什么的前奏啊!Angel按住想要扯开他T恤的手: “Don’t you have other things to do Like talk to Stefan?”
      Damon锲而不舍的想把奶油挤到Angel屁屁上,敷衍的说: “That can wait…”
      Angel: “No! You’ve been using that excuse for weeks! Come on Damon… the least thing I want is you two have a fight because of what I did.”
      Stefan真是很破坏气氛啊,Damon停下乱动的手: “Why are you so good for me?”
      Angel: “I know you love your brother. He’s not good right now and he needs you. And hope I can talk to Elena at Caroline’s party.”
      Damon: “Oh,yeah, girl to girl, man to man.”
      Angel眼睛立刻眯了起来。
      “What did you say?” Angel语气轻柔无比。
      Damon明知道这是Angel炸毛的前兆,但Angel一挑眼角的风情已经让他瞬间硬的不能再硬,差点连自己姓甚名谁都忘了。
      人物:Angel,Damon 地点:厨房道具:奶油内容:那啥
      Action!
      ………………………………………………
      终于Damon和Angel把一袋奶油和一罐巧克力酱“吃”完了,两人依偎着躺着厨房地板上,身下垫着Damon的浴巾,身上裹着Angel的围裙,整个厨房里一片凌乱,甜腻的气息里混杂着淫/靡的味道。
      Angel光/裸/着裹着围裙的样子太诱人了,Damon不安分的摸着他的腰,腿蹭着Angel的腿。
      Angel闭目养神五分钟,然后狠狠给了Damon一拳。
      “Ouch!!”
      “That’s for my cake.”

      Forbes家。
      Tyler对Klaus的认宗现象越来越明显,在一次两人争吵的时候Caroline说: “What if he asks you to kill yourself?!”而Tyler竟不假思索地说: “Then maybe I will!”
      从那之后Caroline跟Tyler就陷入了冷战,这一天Caroline也无心上课,出去兜了一圈索性又回了家。
      刚一进门……
      “Surprise!!!”
      Bonnie、Elena、Matt就同时跳了出来,吓了Caroline一跳。
      Matt: “Happy birthday.”
      Caroline: “What are you guys doing here?”
      “Well,you blew off school and missed our work of birthday art…” Elena给Caroline戴上一个紫色的生日王冠。
      Bonnie: “Change into warmer clothes; we’re going to the falls. There is campfire, cake…like when we were little.”
      Matt: “Except for tequila~~~”
      众人笑,Caroline却只勉强笑笑说: “Thanks guys, really. Um…I’m just not really feeling my birthday this year.”
      Bonnie: “I’m sorry, what? You’ve already claimed your birthday everyone’s favourite day of the year.”
      Caroline: “Yeah, and now that’s just a reminder that technically, I’m dead.”
      众人默。
      Caroline: “Look, I didn’t even like 17. The only point to 17 was to get to 18. But I’m stuck…I’m stuck in one step to the new life forever.”
      Elena: “…Well, I think I have another idea.”

      Klaus宅。
      Tyler走进正在装修的房间。
      Tyler: “Can’t you just leave me out of it?”
      相比起Tyler的不耐烦,Klaus根本头都没抬: “What would be the point to that.”
      Tyler: “Seriously, can’t you just get on of your hybrids to do your petty? All my friends think I’m a sired freak. And my girlfriend…”
      听到关键人物,Klaus终于把视线从图纸上挪到了Tyler身上: “Ah right,your girlfriend. About her…I need you to bite her.”
      Tyler: “What?!”
      Klaus: “Don’t make me repeat myself.”
      Tyler: “A hybrid bite would kill a vampire.”
      Klaus: “Yeah, I know exactly what it’ll do. Stefan’s been very annoying. I need to send a massage.”
      Tyler: “I’m not biting Caroline!”
      Klaus: “Tyler, I’ve been supernaturally blessed with the good fortune of a sire bond to you, so one can consider this me putting your undying loyalty to the test.”
      Tyler终于炸毛了: “What the hell is wrong with you? I’m not hurting Caroline.”
      Klaus看着眼前为了小女友竟敢跟自己对峙的小混血,那双棕色的眼睛里有害怕但更多的是坚定。
      Klaus忽然笑了,后退了一步: “… All right, I’m disappointed, but you know it’s your choice, free will and all that. I’ll find another way to strike at Stefan. You can go now.”
      Tyler转身走了。
      Klaus端起一杯酒——小年轻,哼。

      Elena带着朋友们来到了一处纪念堂。黑色的石屋,飘荡的蛛网,早已熄灭的白色蜡烛拖着长长的烛泪。
      Bonnie: “This is creepy, even for us.”
      Elena把小蛋糕上插上17只蜡烛: “Caroline was right. Technically, she’s dead. Sorry.” Caroline耸了耸肩, “You don’t need a birthday. You need a funeral. You need to say good-bye to your old life so you can move on with your new one.”
      Caroline撇了撇嘴,Bonnie和Matt都微笑着看着她。在朋友的注视下Caroline摘下了头上的生日王冠,环视了一圈鬼屋般的纪念堂,看着中间空空的石台说: “Here lies Caroline Forbes…”
      Elena飞快的接口: “Cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, third grade hopscotch champion.”
      Bonnie: “Friend…daughter…overachiever.”
      Matt: “Mean girl, sometimes, no offense.”
      “She was 17 and she had a really good life.” Elena捧着蛋糕走过来, “So, rest in peace so that you can move forward. That’s what you really need. It’s what we all really need.
      Amen or cheers whatever…”
      众人笑,Bonnie闭上眼再睁开,蛋糕上的蜡烛全部点燃了。
      Caroline闭上眼睛,许下心愿。

      Salvatore宅。
      Stefan坐在沙发上看书,因为房子里的另一个人,他不能现在写日记。
      Katherine穿着吊带衫,卷曲的浓密长发披散在肩上,弯腰从后面探出身体: “Where is Elena?” 声音压得很低,带着暗示与挑逗。
      Stefan完全没有反应的翻页。
      Katherine腰弯的更低了,伸出手臂环住Stefan: “I told you about the coffins, this is how you repay me?”
      Stefan一言不发,甩下书上楼去了。
      Katherine在他看不见的地方皱起了眉。

      树林里的纪念堂。
      Tyler突然出现了,几人都看着他。
      Tyler: “Sorry. I didn’t mean to crash the arty.”
      Matt: “So don’t.”
      Elena和Bonnie都很为难,Caroline却表示没关系,跟Tyler一起出去了。
      树林里。
      Tyler: “Klaus can’t control me. Not when it comes to you. I won’t let him.”
      Caroline: “Tyler, it’s ok. Maybe we just weren’t meant to be together. Maybe we just have to accept that and move on.”
      Tyler: “I’m not moving on from anything. I love you.”
      Caroline难以置信的看着他: “What”
      Tyler坚定的看着Caroline,这个在他经历狼人的一切时坚定不移的陪在他身边的人,迈步上前吻了她。
      Caroline幸福的笑了,热情的回吻。
      两人的吻越发缠绵起来,Tyler温柔的吻上Caroline的脖颈。突然。
      Caroline: “Ouch!!”
      Tyler猛地后退一步,惊诧的摸着自己的唇。
      Caroline伸手摸摸自己的锁骨,却摸到了血: “What just happened? Did you… did you just bite me?”
      Tyler: “Oh my god…I’m sorry…oh my… Caroline?”
      Caroline惊慌的后退一步靠到树上: “Just get away from me! Get away from me!!”

      Angel宅。
      Angel: “Stop it! This is the last apron.”
      他身后,不肯穿上衣服的Damon锲而不舍的阻挠着Angel烤蛋糕,并试图再次把奶油抹到Angel屁股上。
      就在Angel即将暴力镇压Damon的时候,电话响了。
      Angel向Damon做出口型“Saved by the phone”,随后问: “Hello? What?! … Ok… Ok, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”
      Damon停止了恶作剧,因为Angel表情严肃的摔了电话。
      Damon: “What happened?”
      Angel: “Tyler bit Caroline.”
      Damon: “…”
      他太认得这个表情了,Angel生气了。
      Angel: “Oh I’m gonna kill him.”
      Damon匆匆在爱人嘴角亲了一下: “Meet you in Forbes’s.”

      Klaus宅。
      Klaus悠闲的在图纸上画一个装饰物的素描,突然一阵凌乱的打斗声从外面传来。一个hybrid匆匆闪进来: “It’s Angel…”
      话音刚落,Angel就大步走了进来,他面色实在不善,手上还带着血,房间门口的一个hybrid想拦,Angel抬手按着他的脸直撞到了墙上,半个脑袋撞得稀烂,脸上还留着Angel手指留下的血洞。
      就这样血腥的场面,Angel精致漂亮的脸上没半分动容,直直走到了Klaus身前。
      Angel: “You know why I’m here.”
      Klaus: “Learn to be the new ripper?”
      “Stefan is only child’s play. He didn’t have a clear mind when he is a ripper. But you knew,you knew what I am capable of.” Angel又上前一步,他的声音不高,却带着完全不近人情的寒意, “Or you don’t?”
      Klaus听到Tyler惊慌的报信时就知道Angel一定会生气,可没想到Angel会这么生气。他也不是完全确定Tyler会听话,此刻见了Angel就难免有些气短。
      Klaus睁大了眼睛,语气尽量放缓: “Look, I didn’t know Tyler would bite her. I didn’t anticipate…”
      Angel完全不给面子的打断了他: “So you didn’t tell Tyler to bite her? You didn’t tell Tyler that’s what you want?”
      Klaus哑了,他咬了咬嘴唇刚想说话,就被Angel提着领口重重撞到了墙上。
      实践证明这所房子承重墙做的很不错,在这种力度的撞击下,一阵灰尘过后,墙竟然还没有塌。
      Angel: “Are you out of your mind?! How can you even think of doing this?! To Caroline?”
      想起那个愣头愣脑的小美人,Klaus也有一些愧疚,而Angel此时的毫不留情,又让他不爽。
      不过Angel没有给他为自己辩解的机会: “Nicklaus, how many times do I need to tell you, don’t use your dirty little tricks. If you don’t want to have that heart, I don’t mind rip that one out for you.”
      Klaus被Angel卡的快要喘不上来气,声音怪异的说: “I’ll fix it…”

      Forbes宅。
      Caroline脸色苍白的躺着床上,无神的望着天花板。
      Damon站在门口敲了敲门。
      Damon: “That looks bad.”
      Caroline: “Even worse than the one you got?”
      “It could be. But obviouslyyou don’t have that chance.” Damon笑了笑,走进门在她的床边坐下, “Angel went to see Klaus. Don’t worry.”
      Caroline依旧没有什么神采,过了一会才问: “… What were you thinking…when you thought you were going to die?”
      Damon: “I was thinking…how stupid I was that I didn’t tell him I love him.”
      Caroline嘴角挑起一个弧度,又很快消失了。她几乎喃喃自语一般说: “I’m hurt…”
      Damon难得温柔的看着她: “Love always hurts. But you know what will come after that.”
      楼下大门口。
      Klaus站在门外,脸色比平时还要苍白一些。
      警长打开门,平静的说: “I know the rule. You want something in return.”
      Klaus抿了抿唇: “I’m here to help her.”见没有人答话继续说, “My only friend is 5 feet away. I don’t want to lose him.”
      Damon走下楼梯,警长对Klaus说: “Come in.”
      Klaus与Damon错身而过,Damon甩了他一个白眼。
      Angel慢慢走进门,把手上的盒子递给Liz,安慰的拍了拍她的肩: “Don’t worry. He agreed to remove all the hybrids.”
      Angel放下蛋糕就跟Damon一起告辞了,而厨房里的Elena给Stefan发了一条短信。
      楼上Caroline的房间。
      Caroline裹着毯子,手腕上还带着Tyler送她的生日礼物——一条银色的手链。
      Klaus走到她的床边,Caroline轻声问: “Are you going to kill me?”
      Klaus轻柔的说: “On your birthday? Do you really think that low of me?”
      Caroline直视着他: “Yes.”
      Klaus微微弯腰,伸手拉开Caroline的毯子,看着她锁骨上那个狰狞的伤口。
      Klaus: “My apologise. You’re what known as collateral damage. It’s nothing personal.” Caroline看着他,Klaus拨了拨她手腕上的链子,微笑着说, “I love birthdays.”
      Caroline短促的笑了一声,随后又垂下眼帘: “Yeah. Aren’t you like… a billion or something?”
      “We have to adjust your perception of time when you became a vampire, Caroline. Celebrate the fact that you’re no longer bound by trivial human conventions.” Klaus的语气一直很低沉,带着隐隐的期待,“You are free.”
      Caroline看着他: “No. I’m dying.”
      那个迷茫又委屈的眼神让Klaus眼神一闪,随后他在床边坐下: “And I could let you die…if that’s what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I’ve thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries, truth be told.” Klaus眼里的悲伤只是一闪而过,他俯下身,小声对这个只有18岁的小吸血鬼说,“But I’ll let you in on a little secret. There’s a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music…genuine beauty. And you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays.”
      这个千年吸血鬼有着苍白如大理石的皮肤,鲜红的嘴唇,金色的毛发,他的眼睛是无人能想到的黑白分明。他说: “All you have to do is ask.”
      Caroline睫毛不停地颤抖,仿佛在恐惧着什么,恐惧着一些即将、或早已进入她的生活的一些东西,一些人。她毫无血色的嘴唇抖了抖,最终只是轻声说: “I don’t want to die.”
      Klaus挽起衣袖,一手将她的头托起,将自己的手腕送到她唇边。
      Klaus: “There you go, sweetheart. Have at it.”
      “Happy birthday, Caroline.”

      第二天,Caroline醒来后,床头放着一个黑色的礼盒,卡片上写着:From Klaus。
      Caroline打开礼盒,里面是一条镶满碎钻的铂金手链,在清早的阳光中闪烁着。
