Eight months later.“Well, honey, I want to,” Emily puffed out her lips capriciously, pretending to whine, sitting on a soft sofa in Stephen Cole's living room.- What exactly? Jonathan asked, rubbing his temples wearily.- Fish! Salted... No, smoked... no, fried or... cured? I don't know, but I really want to!- My dear, my dear, the only one, my beloved, well, where can I get it for you now?- I don't know, go to the store! - the girl continued to whine, releasing a mean tear to heighten the effect.- Is it at three o'clock in the morning? But saffron, they are already all closed! Maybe tomorrow? John asked hopefully."I knew you didn't love me!" - Pouting like a hamster on a rump, Amy was offended and defiantly turned away from the man.- I love it, I love it...- What's going on here? a sleepy Steve asked as he stepped out of his bedroom, rubbing his eye with one hand and scratching his stomach with the other. - Why don't you sleep? Night in the yard, and they sit and sharpen thei
Twenty years laterGirls, stop arguing! John said sternly, wearily rubbing his face with his hands. - Well, what the hell does it matter which dress you wear? You still look the same! And your dresses are the same.- What-o-o? the twins yelled in unison, looking sternly at their father. - What are you saying? Yes, they are completely different, don't you see?- Well, of course ... - John muttered, looking at absolutely identical dresses.- Dad, - Lily, one of the twins, approached the man, - dad, well, they are completely different. Look, you see this ribbon ... - John nodded, - it is beige, - the man frowned slightly, - but this one, - she pointed to another dress with the same ribbon along the edge of the bodice, - cream. So, daddy, they're different.- Lord, girls, do you care? - John sat down on one of the chairs in the sisters' room and stared sadly at these unfortunate dresses, because of which his little ones were cursing.“Ha, yes, little ones, how come,” he thought, looking l
An elderly gray-haired man stood in a small basement and looked angrily at a man lying in front of him on a dirty earthen floor. The old man's hands were covered with a dried crust of dried blood, the mantle, completely hiding the senile body and until recently shining white, was stained with blood in front.“It’s impossible, it’s impossible,” he muttered, knitting his bushy eyebrows, “it’s impossible for him to know, it’s impossible for him to understand everything. Now I was able to avoid it, but now I need to be more careful, otherwise he will become too dangerous an opponent.The man, lying on the floor and bleeding, tried to say something, but only a hoarse hoarse escaped from his broken lips. His legs and arms were broken in several places, and in some places the bones came out, bringing excruciating pain to the man; almost all the ribs were broken and even crushed, and the skin in the places of the fractures was filled with a purple-blue bruise. The man breathed heavily and hoa
Jack walked around her and inhaled her scent, clearly enjoying it. She felt him lift her hair up, bring it to his face, and breathe in the scent of her hair again. Then he takes more strands and carefully removes them from the neck, leans towards her and does the same again. Every movement the man made caused panic in Emily. And he kept circling around her, like a predator, driving its prey into a trap. However, why "as if"?Jack touched the girl's neck with his slightly rough hand and carefully, so as not to scratch her delicate skin, ran it from top to bottom.And then ... with one sharp movement of his hand, he pressed her small, supple body to his muscular and strong chest, and with the second hand he slightly pulled her head to the side and ... Amy felt a strong and burning pain on her neck. She felt two sharp fangs pierce into her flesh and this man begins to sip her blood, how it gets into his mouth and with what pleasure he drinks it. From the burning piercing pain, Emily scre
And Jack all the time was just silent and watched this scene with genuine interest. As did Nick.- You all go to hell! If you think I'm going to give up so easily, then you are deeply mistaken, - she hissed, like a disheveled cat.Mike growled and took a couple of confident steps towards her. Amy kept her angry gaze on him as he drew closer and closer. The man's eyes lit up with yellow fire. When Mike growled again, the girl saw his fangs, but still did not look away. And only when he came close to her, she closed her eyes and prepared for inevitable death. A long minute passed, but nothing happened. Then Emily opened her eyes and saw that Mike was standing and smiling, and then he turned to Jack and said:- You're right! That's her!Nick got up from the couch and looked at his friends in bewilderment:- Not understood. What is the meaning of "she"? He looked questioningly from one to the other. - Is there something I don't know?"I'll explain to you later," Jack told him.- What, now
There was a time outside when it was not yet morning, but it was no longer night either.Jack still held Amy's arm as he led her out of the house. The four of them - he, Amy, Mike and Nick - walked through the yard, heading for the Gelendvagen, which was parked outside the gates of her house.Black, powerful, daring - he completely suited his owner - Jack.“So,” Jack said, turning the girl to face him, “now you calmly get into the car and don’t utter a sound, otherwise you know what awaits you.”Emily just nodded in response. She did not want to talk at all, and there was no point in it: no one would listen to her anyway.The girl was put in the back seat, Mike sat next to her, Nick sat in the front passenger seat, and Jack drove. As soon as they were all inside, Jack immediately pulled away, causing Amy to scream. The men just chuckled.Gelendvagen raced through the still sleeping night city at breakneck speed. Behind the glass of the car, everything blurred, preventing the girl from
36 hours before recent events.- Hey Blake! To the challenge! Urgently! shouted a short, stocky man in a police uniform.- What happened again? said the young man. Dark hair, above average height, very muscular.- You won't believe it: we have murder again!Blake sighed heavily.- This is the fourth one this week. At this rate, I will soon form a blockage.- Don't worry, you're one of the best detectives in our district! So pack up and let's go!"All right," he said doomedly, rising from his chair. - Do you know anything about the victim?- Nothing, except that it's a girl again. Fourth girl this week. I wonder who needed to kill them in such a cruel way?- I do not know. He shrugged, spreading his arms slightly out to the sides.The men left Detective Jonathan Black's office. The best in the business. On his account there was not a single unsolved crime for all four years that he worked in the police.Many of his colleagues were surprised: how does he always manage to find the culpri
Houses, only houses around - old, abandoned, many entwined with ivy, overgrown with moss; around the houses everything is overgrown with weeds, so much so that you simply cannot get through it.And John was drawn to one of those houses.Strange, but he had not experienced such sensations for a long time. For a long time he did not want to do something in spite of everything. In his mind, he knew perfectly well that in the house to which he was heading, there would hardly be anything worth his attention. Black is unlikely to find anything: a clue, at least some, to say nothing of the evidence!Five minutes later he was already standing at the building he needed. An old house, abandoned, dilapidated, with broken windows, rickety shutters, a leaky roof and a broken chimney. The dwelling in which people once lived, looked after this structure, was now absolutely unsuitable for life. What could have happened here that made people leave this house? And in general, all the houses in the dist
