Lilina had a dream, a strange dream. In the dream, she was a man, a man lying in a coffin. The surrounding was very quiet, dark and quiet, and the quiet was a bit scary. The man seemed to be afraid of something.
Afraid of being alone.
Suddenly, I woke up from the dream.
When she came back to her senses, she was already lying on the hospital bed, with a needle inserted into the back of her hand, and a bag of blood hanging by the bed. Lilina looked at the brown blood bag and felt a little thirsty in her mouth.
"Ah! Are you awake!? I'm going to call the doctor." The nurse who had been monitoring Lilina saw her waking up and quickly went out to find the doctor.
It was a middle-aged man with a gray beard and a Mediterranean hairstyle, "Miss Lilina, I'm glad you woke up. How do you feel?"
"...I'm so thirsty." Lilina said through her cracked lips.
"It's a good thing to feel thirsty. You lost too much blood. When we found you, you had lost one-third of your body's blood. To be honest, it's a miracle that you survived." The middle-aged doctor turned his head and said to the nurse.
Said: "Pour some water over and give her another bottle of glucose."
Soon, the nurse came in with a small glass of water from outside and handed it to Lilina. Then she walked up to the doctor's ear and said something to him.
The doctor frowned and said to the nurse: "Let them wait. The patient has just arrived and needs rest. Let them come tomorrow."
Lilina watched the nurse walk out again, holding the water glass and taking a sip. But after a while, the nurse came in again and whispered to the doctor: "Doctor, they said..."
"This... Okay." He had a complicated look on his face. Out of professionalism, he felt that it was inappropriate to do this, but more importantly, he felt helpless.
"I'm sorry Miss Lilina, the police are here and they want to ask you something. I hope you don't mind." After saying that, the doctor nodded and walked out of the ward.
Not long after the doctor walked out of the ward, several people in uniforms came in and took off their hats. One of the men greeted Lilina: "Hello, Miss Lilina, are you feeling better?"
Lilina's face turned pale, she glanced at the other person and nodded.
Wells seemed to see Lilina's nervousness and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, we are just asking a few questions. By the way, you can call me Wells."
After a brief self-introduction, Wells got to the point.
In the next few hours, Lilina spent the Q&A session. When Wells left, Lilina's face was ugly because he learned from Wells that his father died.
In a cabin in the woods.
The cause of death was that half of the body was torn off by some kind of creature.
After coming out of the ward, Wells habitually fumbled for cigarettes in his pocket, but after groping for a while he couldn't find them. He realized that his pack of good cigarettes might have been stolen by his son!
"Come, sir." A junior next to him handed him a cigarette.
Wells was stunned, took the cigarette, hesitated for a moment and then put his hand down and said: "Forget it, it's better not to smoke in the hospital."
"Yes." Then, the young police officer said, "By the way, sir, is it okay to tell her these things? I mean, will she not be able to bear it?"
"Sooner or later you have to know, and we are not psychiatrists. We can only rely on ourselves for some things." This can be regarded as Wells' experience.
The young police officer appropriately didn't answer. He had heard in the station that Superintendent Wells's father died in a shootout with gangsters when he was in school.
A series of phone rings came from his pocket. Wells reached for his cell phone from his trouser pocket and answered the call, "Hello...um, what? But this case...ok...I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wells looked a little unhappy. The young police officer on the side asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"There is a message from above that we should leave this case alone and someone will come to handle it in a few days." Wells complained: "What is this? The handling power was taken away from us before the case was handled.
Yes, it’s too disrespectful.”
After all, if this kind of case is taken over by someone else before it has been handled, it makes the police department very embarrassed anyway. But they can only complain a few words, and they still have to listen to their superiors on what to do.

"That's great Lilina, luckily you're okay, otherwise I really don't know what to do, wow wow~" There are always many strange people in this world, such as now, Lilina's cousin, crying every time she talks
She stood up and looked even sadder than Lilina.
"Sister Minerva..." Lilina did not expect that after she woke up, the first relative she saw was her cousin, and she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy in her heart.
"It's okay Lilina, I know it. It's okay. I will stay with you. I'm going to move here and live with you for a while to prevent you from doing anything stupid." In this way, Minerva made the decision alone.
Move into Lilina's house and take care of her for a while.
It was certainly a good thing to have someone by her side, but Lilina noticed something was wrong with her body. Why, why did she feel that Minerva's neck was so delicious, as if she could hear the pulsing sound of blood flowing.
My eyelids suddenly became a little heavy and I felt sleepy.
"Lilina, Lilina!" Amidst Minerva's panicked shouting, Lilina fell asleep again due to both mental and physical exhaustion.
In the next few days, Lilina was discharged from the hospital, and her relatives held a funeral for the Scotts. Familiar strangers in black suits shuttled through the huge mansion in the past few days.
The day my father was buried was a bright and sunny day, which seemed to be an irony from heaven, mocking the girl who had lost her parents. As for her mother, the police said they could not find her mother's body and was reported as a missing person. But she knew that her mother had long been
That night, he was killed by a man.
Maybe she should take revenge, but Lilina couldn't even bring up the slightest desire for revenge in her heart.
After that, just as Minerva said, she took the initiative to move to Lilina's house to take care of her. The mysterious death of her parents left permanent scars on the seventeen-year-old girl's heart. Now she needs the company of her relatives.
when.
However, Lilina locked herself in her room all day long, which made Minerva helpless.
Minerva sighed and glanced at the message sent on her phone. It was from her roommate in college. He said that he might go out of town for a while and let her know. Minerva briefly chatted with the other person.
Then he carried the food up to the second floor and came to the door of Lilina's room.
She glanced at the untouched meal she had left in front of the door last night, "Lilina, I left the meal here, remember to eat."
"If...if anything happens, you can call me, I'll be downstairs."
There was no response from the room.
Minerva was silent in front of the door for a while, then went downstairs carrying the untouched meal.
After putting away the cooked food, the doorbell rang. Minerva walked to the closet and knew who the visitor was without having to guess.
"Officer Wells, are you here today?" Minerva looked at the middle-aged man standing outside the door and said politely.
"Sorry to bother you." Wells took off his hat. He was wearing casual clothes at this time.
"Nothing, please come in." Minerva turned sideways and let Wells in.
Minerva put the tea in front of Wells, "I'm sorry, I don't think Lilina can see you yet. She has locked herself in the room for a long time."
"It's okay. Although I have many questions to ask her, I'm not in a hurry. I came here today to give this to you." Wells took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it to Minerva.
"This is?"
"This is the autopsy report. I took it out of my office and I think you should take a look at it," Wells said.
Minerva hesitated for a moment, she was not good at dealing with this kind of thing.
"Thank you, Mr. Wells, but now I don't want Lilina to be stimulated too much."
Wells nodded, understanding Minerva's words, "It doesn't matter, you can leave this here, I have a backup in my office."
"Thanks."
Wells smiled, stood up and was about to leave, "I hope you can let me know if Lilina gets better. I think it will be helpful to the progress of the case."
"I will." Minerva nodded.
"Then it's time for me to go. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mr. Wells."
The voices of the two people communicating downstairs fell in Lilina's ears word for word. She was feeling very uncomfortable now. She had accepted so much information that her head was about to explode. Lilina could feel what was happening in her body.
Some changes, such as every time I see Minerva, I always want to pounce on her and bite her neck.
Isn't this just like the legendary vampire?
"Wells is really persistent. He has been wandering around this house for several days in a row. Maybe he is suspicious of you, my puppy." Esther slowly emerged from Lilina's shadow.
There was a hint of interest in his brown-red eyes, as if Welles was performing a stage play in front of him.
Lilina curled up in bed and ignored the man who appeared in her room.
Seeing that Lilina ignored him, Esther did not feel any embarrassment. Instead, with a malicious smile, he slashed his wrist with his sharp nails.
"It's time to eat."
The taste of blood is irresistible to newborn vampires. Very few newborn vampires can control their desires. However, vampires with better bloodlines and purer bloodlines are more likely to control themselves.
"Get that thing of yours away from me!"
The rich and mellow aroma was like wine that had been brewing for thousands of years. The smell alone made her intoxicated. However, the human side made her unable to accept it, and she turned into a blood-sucking monster!
Lilina's eyes were already flashing a bloodthirsty red light, and the blood vessels around her eyes were bulging, making her look extremely ferocious, but she was enduring it, enduring herself not to touch that man, not to drink the sweet delicacy.
Esther's expression slowly calmed down, "Vampires in the newborn period are the weakest, but it is also a particularly important period. The quality of the blood they drink during this period can determine how much power they inherit from their elders, so
Often, the elders will choose to let their descendants suck their own blood during their newborn years."
"I don't care about your bullshit vampire theory. I just want to be alone and don't bother me!" Lilina yelled at Esther.
"It seems that I need to train you better in the future." Esther smiled and walked towards Lilina.
"Get out of here!!" Lilina tried hard to push Esther away.
However, Lilina's strength alone was unable to compete with Esther. After all, his body was also a vampire that had lived for countless years. How could he be pushed aside by a newborn vampire?
Esther easily grabbed Lilina's arm and looked at her with an almost ruthless look, "I will not make trouble with you. The moment you become a vampire, you have lost your freedom. This is what you need to survive."
cost."
"I had no choice at all, you turned me into a monster!" Lilina almost roared.
"That's right, you really have no choice. The right to choose is never in your hands, so you should also understand that you have no choice now. Just drink the blood for me!" Esther didn't have the slightest bit of gentlemanly demeanor.
Instead, he roughly put his arm on Lilina's mouth.
The moment her lips touched the blood, no matter how hard she resisted, Lilina could no longer suppress her instinct.
Like a greedy evil ghost, she grabbed Ested's arm and sucked it in big mouthfuls. The fragrant blood flowed down her mouth and into her deep throat, like poison that she could no longer resist.
"Yes, that's it, my puppy."
Outside the room, Minerva, who heard Lilina's roar, rushed up from downstairs and knocked nervously on Lilina's door.
"Lilina, Lilina, are you okay? Answer sister quickly."
Esther looked at the door that was constantly being knocked, "It's really not the right time to come...but it's almost the same." As he said that, he pulled his arm out of Lilina's hand.
However, Lilina was obviously not satisfied yet. She rushed towards Est like a mad beast, but was easily subdued by Est.
But there was another noise, which made Minerva outside the door even more anxious. She was afraid that something would happen to Lilina.
She was even ready to knock on the door.
"Get some sleep, Lilina. You can't let your cousin see you like you are now." Fiery red sparks highlighted, traces of magic flashed through the air, after Esther's voice fell.
Lilina, who was in a violent state, passed out again.
