Take your fangs, thanks

Lightning pierced the black night with blinding white light, followed by a thunderous explosion. Josh woke up with a start, sat up from the bed, and there was no one beside him.

"Arman!" he whispered.

He was answered by Arman's rhythmic snoring.

"Arman, Arman, wake up!" Josh got out of bed, moved to the edge of Arman's bed and pushed him.

"...Huh?" Arman snorted with heavy sleepiness, "What?"

"Rig is gone!"

"Oh..." Arman turned over sleepily when he heard Josh's words, and buried his face in the pillow, "Don't worry, Rigg...can take care of himself..." Arman's voice gradually Weakened and fell asleep again!

Josh slapped Arman's quilt angrily, but the person under the quilt remained motionless, as if preparing to sleep till the end of time.

"You stupid bear!"

Josh put on his clothes in twos and twos, just about to open the door and go out, then turned around and turned over an umbrella to come out.

The rain outside was pouring down, and the wind blew so that the branches and leaves in the forest were shaking, and the shadows reflected were like ghostly claws, planning to scratch at Josh in the next second.If it was any other child, maybe this would have been backed down long ago, but Josh is different. His previous life was in the dark, and this forest is not as big as the one behind Derwent Castle.

But the wind is really nasty, the raindrops are blown obliquely, and the umbrellas are also blown to this side, and the effect of preventing the rain is minimal.Josh was busy getting an umbrella, and stepped into a puddle, and the water seeped into his shoes, making them cold and heavy.Josh couldn't help cursing, and put away the umbrella - this thing is useless when it rains lightly, and it's useless when it rains heavily.

"Rig..." Josh was about to shout, but he was afraid of waking up the teacher, knowing that going out in the middle of the night was strictly prohibited, so he had to give up.

So late, where will Rigoletto go?

Fortunately, before Josh turned into a drowned chicken, he vaguely heard a sound near the stables. It seemed that some metal objects were falling. Josh immediately followed the sound, and there was a faint light Just disappeared from his field of vision.

"Rig." Josh muttered, walking across the mud step by step.

……

"...Why are you willing to tell me this?" Rigoletto's voice became more even in the cold rain.

"You don't look surprised."

"..."

"You knew it before?"

"Guess some."

"Wow, smarter than I thought. So, why don't you want Josh to know? Are you afraid of losing a brother?"

Rigoletto pursed his lips and was about to speak when suddenly he heard the sound of a branch being trampled short behind him. He quickly turned his head and whispered, "Who?!"

"...It's me, Rieg." Josh's little head appeared from behind the bushes, looking quite difficult, "This damn rain, it's too difficult to walk... Hey, Annie?"

"Hi." It seemed that every time Josh and Annie met, this was the opening line.

"Uh... so what are you and Rieger doing here at night?" Josh was dragged into the stable by Riegletto, and finally felt a moment of dryness.The sound of the rain finally didn't sound so loud in the room. Some of the horses inside were awakened by the thunder, and they were panting, giving people a warm illusion.

"Why did you run out in the rain?" Rigoletto asked with a frown.

Josh looks really embarrassed now, not to mention drenched, the smooth calf under the shorts is almost covered with mud spots, his hair is still dripping water, and the fluffy blonde hair is now Sticking strands to the scalp, it looked a little funny.

"I saw that you were not here in the middle of the night, Rieger." Josh rarely acted like a baby in this situation, and even looked at Rigeletto quite calmly.

"...Did you hear that?"

"What did I hear?" Josh asked back.

Annie didn't think it was a big deal, she interjected, "Your brother's secret."

"Shut up!" Rigoletto's sudden anger shocked the remaining two people.

Actually, Josh didn't hear much, but...

"What's something I can't know, Rigg?"

"fine."

"Rig, it's not fair. I have no reservations in front of you, but you don't want to tell me about you!" Josh shouted, obviously aggrieved.

Rigoletto also had a headache, and he was still a little away from understanding what was going on in the Derwent family. He could only comfort him: "You are still young, Josh."

"You're only older than me..."

Before Josh finished speaking, there was another thunderclap. This time, for some reason, it was accompanied by another loud noise. This loud noise came from the ground, as if... a tree was chopped down!Huge perennial trees fell to the ground, shaking the ground.

Although it may be a little distance from the camp, the horses in the stables were obviously awakened by the shock, they honked, pawed the ground, and some timid ones, rampaged in their rooms.

Not far from the stables is the residence of the stables, and the voices of several men and the sound of running footsteps can be heard here.

The three children were all shocked.

"Go back and explain to you!" Rigoletto whispered, then grabbed Josh's wrist and planned to run into the cabin.

"Who's here?" A beam of flashlight was directed at where they were.

"run!"

The three of them rushed out the door together, and before they could say goodbye, Annie turned and ran towards the girl's cabin, while Rigoletto dragged Josh to the cabin on the hillside.

The flashlight flickered behind them, but no one had time to look back.Riglito's running speed was very fast. Even though he had slowed down and dragged Josh, Josh still felt his heart beating very fast when he returned to the wooden house.

I didn't think before that this would close the door and return to the room, but Josh felt that this exhaustion swept his whole body like a tide. He fell to the ground, and the wet clothes and the water drops from the tips of his hair formed a small hole on the ground. block water stains.

"Take off your clothes, I'll get you some water, and you go in and take a shower." Rigoletto dragged Josh into the bathroom involuntarily.Fortunately, they changed the cabins with the teachers. In order to prevent the children from using the bathtub without authorization and causing danger, the students’ wooden cabins are only equipped with rain showers, while the teachers’ bathrooms still have bathtubs that can be used.

"Arman!" Rigoletto sounded in a very bad mood. He pulled the quilt off Arman's body. Arman was tightly wrapped in the quilt, and it would be like a spinning top. The quilt that came down rolled on the ground twice before stopping.

"What's wrong!" Arman also shouted back very angrily. He didn't understand why his two younger brothers came to torment him once in the middle of the night!

"Why did you let Josh run out alone!" Rigoletto rarely lost his temper, "He is also your brother, and it's raining outside!"

Arman scratched his head, and seeing Josh's embarrassed look, he fell silent.

After a while, he muttered: "I don't even think about why he ran out."

Now Rigoletto had nothing to say.

Josh would feel uncomfortable everywhere in his body. He half leaned in the bathtub, letting his two elder brothers wash him up in a hurry, and almost fell asleep in a daze: "Rig...why is the water getting colder and colder? ?”

Rigoletto was taken aback for a moment, how could it be getting colder and colder, even though there was always hot water?

It turned out that it was not the water that was getting colder, but Josh was getting hotter, and he had a fever.

……

"Cold?" The doctor in the camp rushed over overnight. He was an elderly man. He put away the thermometer and took out fever-reducing medicine from the medicine box. "Drink plenty of water, and don't participate in the following activities."

"Thank you." Josh replied in a hoarse voice. He took the pill and poured it down with water. His face became flushed with fever and his muscles were weak. He really didn't want to move, so he simply closed his eyes.

This sleep lasted until the next afternoon.

Of course, Josh didn't know that because of this, Rigoletto took the matter by himself, and was reprimanded by Jack and Kelly all morning.

In the quiet afternoon, Josh's eyelashes trembled twice, and he opened his eyes.

Throat was like a fire, dry and unbearably dry.Just as he was about to ask for water, he suddenly felt something in his mouth that he almost swallowed because of his movements.

He reached out and spat out the contents of his mouth—a tooth rolled into the palm of his hand.Josh woke up all of a sudden, and he didn't care about anything else, he yelled "Rig" brokenly.

Riglito heard Josh's voice, and immediately came to his bed: "Are you awake?"

"Rige!" Josh nervously raised his open hand in front of Rigoletto, "It fell!" Just as Josh said this, he suddenly felt the strange feeling that his front teeth were missing. Talking, puffing, puffing, showing the wind!Josh covered his mouth with his other hand.

A small white tooth lay quietly on Josh's palm.

as if……

It seems to be mocking Rigletto, look, you not only change your teeth later than Arman, but even Josh is earlier than you!

Although listening to Anne's words yesterday, Rigoletto basically confirmed his previous conjecture, knowing that the tooth replacement time of different biological species is somewhat different (in fact, the meaning of tooth replacement to vampires and human beings is also very different), but he is still not sure. Be willing to accept this fact.

"It's nothing, Josh." Rigoletto looked very calm, he put a hand into his mouth, and yanked it hard...

Rigoletto put the blood-covered fangs in the palm of his hand, and spread them out in front of Josh: "Look, I can accompany you." While talking, red blood flowed down Rigoletto The corners of the mouth flow out - the mouth is the fastest healing place for humans, and the slowest place for vampires.

Josh was dumbfounded: "Rig...Actually, you don't have to..." He stared at Rigoletto's deciduous teeth that were forced to die in battle, and really didn't know what to say...
