Take your fangs, thanks

Riglito cleaned the replaced canine teeth and gave them to Josh.

It is a canine tooth, but it means that the first fang of a newborn vampire grows smaller, which is no different from a human canine fang, but in fact it is a real vampire fang-a totem used to symbolize the identity of a vampire.However, of course, Josh didn't know so much, he just thought it was his brother trying to comfort himself who was changing his teeth for the first time.

Until Josh and Rigletto separated later, the boy still carried this pointed fang with him at all times.In the face of all kinds of unhappy things, Josh always likes to stare at this fang in a daze. He would think, if he were Rigoletto, what would he do in the face of these distressing situations.

Changing teeth is by no means a trivial matter for both humans and vampires.Alman took his two younger brothers and called home.

Strangely, this time the call was picked up much slower than usual.The phone was connected, and there was a chatter on the other end, and then Mrs. de Winter's voice came along the current: "It's just right, Arman, we are going to take you home... Yes, yes! I know!" She seemed to turn her head back and talk to someone else, her voice was not very clear.

"Uh...Mom?" Arman was a little confused. In his impression, Mrs. de Winter seemed to have never been in a hurry, and there were very few people who panicked like this.

Rigoletto heard something wrong. In fact, with his hearing, he could hear the content through the microphone. He looked at Josh's confused expression, "Arman, hands-free."

This time Mrs. de Winter's voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Arman, tell the brothers, pack up your things, and we will take you home tomorrow."

"Why?!" Josh said in surprise, it was nearly half a month before the end of the summer camp.

"Josh?" Mrs. de Winter heard Josh's voice, paused, and seemed to sigh, "Forget it, it's just right for you to be here, listen to Josh, don't act alone from now on, follow the brothers How about next to it?"

Josh frowned, and asked hesitantly: "...Okay, but, why?"

The three De Winter brothers all realized that something big might have happened here, but obviously Mrs. De Winter had no time to explain to them.

"Listen, children. Your father and I are on the road tonight. We should arrive at the camp tomorrow morning. You pack up your things. If there is any problem, we will go home and talk."

……

Weird, weirdness everywhere.Josh sat in the room, his little head spinning rapidly, filled with various thoughts, like a thick fog.In fact, it wasn't that Josh didn't notice something wrong. In fact, since the first day he came to the camp, he had faintly discovered how different the life pattern of himself and his two brothers was from other people of the same age.

Everyone looked at them with searching eyes, and all animals were reluctant to approach them.Josh once thought that his body temperature was too high, but now after inadvertent contact with other people's skin, Josh found that, except for his two older brothers, the body temperature of other people was not too different from his own ...

Thinking of this, Josh was startled by the knocking sound from the glass window behind him, he turned his head almost instantly, and met Annie's little forehead and red hair that were exposed only when she stood on tiptoe.

"Hi." Annie greeted him with her mouth.

Josh hesitated for a moment, but opened the window anyway.

Annie's voice reached Josh's ears: "On the night of the full moon, their eyes are searching around for creatures that cannot be accommodated by the darkness."

"what?"

"It's the Moon Tarot," Annie ignored Josh's words, "It means the darkness before the truth is revealed... You are in danger, Josh."

If Annie and Josh talked about these things in normal times, Josh would definitely tell her not to talk about these weird mysteries all the time, but...

"What do you know?"

Annie shook her head, then looked at Josh: "Unfortunately, I'm not a prophet, but I know something you want to know."

"...About Rigg, or rather, about Derwent?" Josh asked tentatively.

As expected, Annie nodded, "Come out."

It was really difficult to talk through the window. Josh looked back, the bathroom door was closed, Riglito was taking a shower, Arman might have gone out to eat - he always eats a lot, Josh suspected The supper prepared was tailor-made for Alman.

It's okay if it's just at the door, right?

Josh pushed the door open.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?" Josh asked quickly, closing the door with his hands behind his back.

"No, but what you want to know."

"Stop being a secret, Annie!" Josh yelled in a low voice.

"I... Actually, I shouldn't tell you this, because you are a human being, and ordinary human beings shouldn't know this." Annie muttered in a low voice, "But for your safety, I betray my principles...Okay, Actually, I'm not sure if these can help you."

"So, you're not human?"

"I am human, but...my family is the keeper of this secret."

"What's the secret?" Josh has already realized that this is probably what Rigoletto didn't want him to know before, he subconsciously looked back at the tightly closed door, "Rige and Arman, what are they? ?!"

"Wow..." Annie was not without surprise, "I would believe that you are brothers. You are always, um... you are exactly the same on this kind of issue, smart."

"So they are not my brothers..." Josh was silent, and then he became excited, "Liar! Annie, are you trying to play me again! They are my brothers, and you are a liar!"

"I'm not!" Anne's emotions became agitated, "If I didn't treat you as a friend, who would want to talk to you! You have already discovered it, the body temperature like a dead person, curled up in the dark forever, their recipe Only egg whites, but this is not the most important thing, their most important staple food is always blood! Fresh, scarlet blood!"

"Speed ​​beyond ordinary people, extraordinary strength... Animals never approach them, why, because they are hunters standing at the top of the food chain! They feed on human blood! Josh, their lives are based on the blood of your compatriots above death..."

"And you call them brother, mother, father...you don't know what they are, so do you know what you are!"

Annie's words were like cannonballs, bombarding Josh's fragile nerves.Every single word of these words could be understood by Josh, but when they were combined into a sentence, they turned into some strange language, which passed Josh's mind in a hurry, and Josh couldn't understand the meaning.

Josh opened his eyes, looked at Annie, his lips trembled, and finally just asked: "What are you talking about, Annie? I can't understand...I can't understand!"

Annie also realized that she was too emotional, and she wanted to say something to remedy it: "Josh, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

I don't know why, but Josh's hearing is still completely inside the wooden house. When he heard the sound of water inside stop, he opened the door and rushed in almost in a panic, leaving a sentence: "Anyway, they treat me very good."

With a bang, the door closed in front of Annie's eyes.She looked at the door worriedly for a while, and finally left.

Just above her head, a black bat was hanging upside down on the eaves. Now it opened one eye, opened its mouth as if to scream, and then spread its wings and flew to the other side of the sky .

……

"Josh?" Rigoletto came out of the bathroom, wearing a white nightgown, wiping his pale golden hair. I don't know if it was because of Josh's psychology or just after taking a shower. Rigoletto Under the light of the incandescent lamp, her skin looked paler, which made her lips more red.

Josh remembered the way Rigoletto spoke while bleeding, and looked away uncomfortably.

"You're sweating a lot, Josh." Rigoletto glanced outside. The sunless mountains and forests had a very suitable temperature. If he was only wearing short sleeves, he would still feel a little cold.

"Really..." Josh sat on the bed. He turned to face the wall inside, with his back facing Rigoletto's direction, pretending to be relaxed, "Sleep, Rigg, we have to get up early tomorrow."

There is nothing wrong with this set of rhetoric, but the problem is that it comes from the mouth of Josh, who is always happy.

"Josh, you didn't meet with others without authorization, did you?"

Rigoletto's voice came from behind Josh, low and inaudible.

Josh shook his head impatiently, "I'm sleepy, Rig, can we sleep?" After finishing speaking, he let out a decent breath.

Josh was extremely nervous. This was the first time he had lied to Rigoletto. Apart from being nervous, another feeling of guilt and restlessness almost swallowed him up.But after he thought about it, Rigoletto was still unwilling to tell him this. Speaking of which, saying this kind of thing from his own mouth and learning it from someone else's mouth are completely different concepts...

But, if, if...they are really vampires, then what can I do?

Josh couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking.Perhaps because De Winter's parents deliberately avoided it, Josh was different from other children of the same age. He had few channels to learn about the legends of these ghosts. The so-called vampires, he only accidentally learned about them from an old children's book in the attic. He glanced inside and didn't even pay attention to it. Until today, what Annie said to him made him uneasy.

Riglito looked at Josh silently, and finally he turned off the light and sighed.The voice was so low that Josh wondered if he heard it wrong.

Riglito lay down next to Josh, and the feeling of the sunken bed was magnified thousands of times in Josh's mind at this moment. Although he was the one who brought it up, he wasn't actually sleepy at all.

He closed his eyes and didn't know how long it had been.It was so long that Alman had returned to the room lightly, and soon there was snoring from the bed next to him, but Josh still didn't fall asleep.He felt that his consciousness was being separated from his body. Even though his body was extremely heavy, his brain was still active, and various pictures kept squeezing into his mind, forming various bizarre images.

Suddenly, Rigoletto stood up.

Josh almost forgot to breathe for a moment, he closed his eyes tightly, his arrector pili muscles seemed to have received a unified order, and all of a sudden his hair stood on his head.

For a long time, Rigoletto just tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and then lay back down again, without even touching Josh.

Finally, Josh felt relieved and fell asleep in a daze.
