Take your fangs, thanks

No matter what happened, the dawn always came as promised.

The car set off from the camp, with Mr De Winter in the driver's seat, driving the car to the maximum speed limit.

"Mom, why are we in such a hurry?" Arman poked his head from the back seat.

"Uh...wouldn't it be better to go home early? Lucifer misses you very much." Mrs. de Winter seemed to be looking at the rearview mirror all the time. She pursed her lips and answered her eldest son's question absent-mindedly.

Josh's mind is still very confused, and since he found out that he is different from other relatives, it is difficult for him not to connect this accident with his own identity.Before he could figure out how he should face the De Winters, he was interrupted by this sudden accident again.

Rigoletto stared at the scene in the rearview mirror, and a black car that appeared frequently caught his attention-apparently, the De Winter parents had also noticed this car.

Mr. De Winter frowned with rare seriousness, his hands were tightly gripped on the steering wheel, and the accelerator pedal was pressed to the bottom. The car was speeding on the one-way mountain road, and there was a sharp zigzag turn ahead. Suddenly, another A black car rushed out of the intersection from the opposite direction.

To be honest, for vampires, as long as the car accident is not a violent explosion, it is difficult for other situations to threaten them.And they have always had excellent reflexes...

Mr. De Winter stepped on the brakes calmly, and the tires of the car rubbed harshly against the ground, making one deeply doubt whether the gravel underneath had been burned.

"Hide, Josh!" Mrs. de Winter ordered.

……

A tall young man stepped out of the black car. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a serious black suit and white shirt, and even a pair of leather gloves on his hands.He bent down in front of the car window of Derwent's house, tapped the second knuckle of his index finger on the glass twice, and showed a polite and harmless smile on his face.

Mr. De Winter lowered the car window. "Hello, William, we meet again."

"Hi, Mr. de Winter. It's been decades since I last saw you. It's a pleasure to see you again. You have two... oh no, three lovely children."

"Two." Mr. De Winter didn't have any flaws on his face, and tapped his fingers on his steering wheel regularly, "We all know that the vitality of newborn vampires is very fragile, I think, welcome them with a car accident that almost happened They don't seem to be a friendly approach."

William Dewar smiled softly, and was noncommittal to Mr. de Winter's answer: "I'm sorry for what I did... So, can I see these children? You know, the birth rate of vampires in recent years That's too low, Archon... I mean, everyone in the court values ​​every nascent vampire."

The hell with the court... Mr. de Winter cursed a thousand times in his heart.

On the surface, he opened the car window a little wider, and let William look at it.

Mrs. de Winter was adjusting the car radio with a smile on her face, Rigoletto leaned on the back with her head in her arms and half-closed her eyes, and Arman was chewing loudly on the snack in her mouth—air-dried beef jerky, listen Said that the food was imported from Asia, and he marveled at their wisdom.

Beyond that is a lot of luggage, a lot, including but not limited to the children's clothes and Mrs. de Winter's various straw hats and cosmetics.

William's nose moved slightly, and the strong perfume smell made him almost sneeze.

"I'm sorry, but the children knocked over the perfume just now while the children were playing in the back," Mrs. de Winter explained, giving a polite smile.

"Oh..." William said with deep meaning, "I hope so. After all, you all know the treaties we signed with humans. They pay attention to the spirit of the contract. That is to say, even after many years, these treaties will not make any changes. Change. Although the de Winter family has been away from court for a long time, I believe you will still remember these rules, right?"

"Of course. Bon voyage, William, and send our regards to the Chief Regent."

William is the younger generation of the Dewar family, and it may be said that he is a reformer, but he is a member of the Dewar family after all, and his presence represents a temptation or a warning from the Dewar family.The Derwent family has already left the disputes in the Moonlight Court, but this does not mean that they have completely lost the news of the Moonlight Court - the Dewar family knows about Josh's existence, and they want to be in the Moonlight Court, which is gradually declining. Under normal circumstances, use this matter to restore prestige.

The car was back on the road.There was a subtle atmosphere in the car.Josh crawled out from under the car seat covered by a pile of luggage, his movements stiff.

The conversation between the adults just now was like the last heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of him and Rigoletto.Unexpectedly, it was Arman. He just looked at his two younger brothers with a little worry, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

"Arman, you already knew?" Josh asked with his head down.

Alman hesitated, but nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner!" Josh seemed to finally have a vent, he shouted, obviously he should be very angry, kept in the dark by everyone, they never mentioned anything about vampires, Joe Xi didn't even understand until now, what is the difference between them and humans.But why did he feel so flustered, or sad.

Two lines of tears flowed from his overwhelmed eye sockets, he wiped them on his face with his palms indiscriminately, and lowered his head.He didn't want to meet anyone's eyes at such a time, he could feel the burning gaze from Rigoletto beside him like a flame, when did Rigoletto know, and how much did he know?

In fact, Josh doesn't understand things between races. For Josh, the most difficult thing to accept is that he is not his own, his parents are not his real parents, and his brothers are also... …

"Josh." Mrs. de Winter interrupted him with her usual soft voice, "You are our son, we never thought..."

"Where are my biological parents?" Josh ignored it.

"...I don't know, Josh." Mrs. de Winter looked at her little son from the rearview mirror, his red eyes were wet like some kind of poor herbivore, and Mrs. de Winter felt herself His heart was pinched, "We found you by the river, small and white, sleeping peacefully in a swaddle on a bamboo basket, and I brought you home."

"Is this causing you trouble?"

"what?"

"Did this cause you trouble?" Josh repeated again.

Mrs. De Winter finally couldn't help but hugged Josh into her arms. She loved her child like all human mothers, but... But this did violate the treaty that vampires had signed with humans.They should keep their identities secret from humans, so as not to cause turmoil in human society.

……

Back home, Josh was still immersed in his emotions.There was this oppressive atmosphere among all of them, with different thoughts at the dinner table.

Josh put the green broccoli into his mouth and chewed, while looking at the glasses of red liquid on the table, now he knew what was in them.He felt sick to his stomach, and he was not in the mood to drink the strawberry juice in front of him. After taking two casual bites, he carried Lucifer back to the room.

Perhaps it was because Josh's matter distracted the attention of too many Derwent parents, and they did not notice the change in Rigletto.Since pulling out his deciduous teeth, Rigoletto's fangs grew rapidly from his gums, followed by some inexplicable restlessness and emptiness in his heart.

The only thing Derwent’s parents did about Rigletto’s tooth change was to bring him into the house to educate him: “The fang is the most important symbol in a vampire’s life, it symbolizes both strength and emotion. When you show your fangs to others, it either represents a threat or love... Forget it, it’s too early to tell you about love. In short, Rieg, don’t show your fangs in front of your brother , When you grow older, the fangs will become longer, and at that time you have to learn to put them away."

This is true. Vampires who are in the growth period of their fangs often have difficulty controlling their own power. This power comes from the first ancestor of vampires, which represents violence and killing. Their blood-thirsty instinct will reach the peak of a vampire's long life. .

Usually the more powerful and gifted a vampire is, the stronger the influence of this bloodline is.But generally, vampires of this bloodline will also receive better education and stricter control from an early age, thus maintaining a delicate balance.

However, under the circumstances that no one has noticed, there is a special case in Rigoletto - atavism.

Rigoletto feels that his mood is getting worse and worse recently, especially when Josh is close to him, an unreasonable impulse will fill every inch of his muscles, what does he want from Josh ,blood?No!How could you have the idea of ​​hurting your brother like this!

Rigoletto pushed Josh away who was leaning over in an instant.

In the next second, Rigoletto met Josh's injured and confused eyes.

"...What's the matter, Rieger, I just, just came to put you to sleep." Josh was a little at a loss, he didn't know what happened to his brother recently, he was always a little cloudy, and there seemed to be not enough blood on the table for him Drink, he will always go to the refrigerator to get another blood bag.

"Josh...Josh, can you sleep by yourself in the future." Rigoletto said with difficulty.

"……why?"

"I..." Rigoletto didn't know whether he should tell the truth, but he really didn't want to see Josh fearing him because of it. He swore that he would never let himself hurt even a hair of Josh, "You're old, Josh, you have to learn to sleep by yourself."
