Espaço Exterior

— Chefe, sobre o projeto de construção do pátio da fazenda na base do Cazaquistão, eu gostaria de participar. Do outro lado da linha, o chefe demonstrou certa surpresa: — Antes, por mais que eu insistisse, você não queria ir, dizia que queria ficar ao lado do seu namorado. Por que mudou de ideia de repente? Laura Vieira baixou as pálpebras avermelhadas e sorriu, tentando soar despreocupada: — Eu tentei, mas não adiantou. Já sabia que era hora de voltar atrás antes que fosse tarde demais. Ao ouvir isso, o chefe suspirou e falou com seriedade: — Esta é uma operação secreta. Você vai entrar no projeto com uma identidade completamente nova e, até o término, não poderá entrar em contato com o mundo exterior. Laura, você tem certeza de que pensou bem? — Sim, só quero sair daqui o quanto antes. Houve um breve silêncio do outro lado da linha, mas a resposta veio em seguida: — Certo. Mais tarde vou te enviar o acordo de confidencialidade. Os trâmites devem sair em cerca de um mês. Aproveite esse tempo para se despedir da sua família. Assim que a ligação foi encerrada, um arquivo apareceu em sua caixa de entrada. Laura leu todas as cláusulas e, determinada, assinou o acordo eletrônico de confidencialidade, confirmando o envio. Ao mesmo tempo, a televisão reprisava o lançamento do novo produto do Grupo Próspero. Ricardo Barros, vestindo um terno branco de corte impecável, conduzia Vanessa Souza lentamente pela passarela.

— Você tem certeza de que quer isso? — A bruxa deslizou o frasco pela mesa. — Assim que eu conjurar o feitiço de desvinculação, sua conexão de Companheiro Predestinado irá se dissolver ao longo de dez dias. No décimo dia, torna-se permanente. Sem reversão. Eu não hesitei. — Seu nome? — Ela pegou a caneta. — Mara Voss. A mão dela congelou. Todos na comunidade de vampiros de Nova York conheciam esse nome. Conrad Levin, o Príncipe do Domínio de Nova York, um monstro de oitocentos anos que nunca demonstrara um pingo de apego a nada, anunciara há três anos a todo o mundo sobrenatural que havia encontrado sua Companheira Predestinada. Uma garota humana que carregava o tipo sanguíneo mais raro existente. Sangue dourado. O nome dela era Mara Voss. Estendi meu pulso. A bruxa começou o trabalho. Abri meu celular e reservei uma passagem só de ida para Praga. Partida em exatamente dez dias. Desta vez, Conrad nunca me encontraria.

Minha irmã adotiva, Clara, me incriminou. Ela alegou que eu forcei sangue de besta goela abaixo dela. O terror, segundo ela, fez com que tivesse um ataque cardíaco. Então, meus três amados irmãos vampiros me selaram. Eles me trancaram no observatório na torre mais alta, presa por uma maldição de sangue. Bati na porta, impotente, explicando e implorando para que me deixassem sair. Damien, meu irmão mais velho e chefe da nossa família, me lançou um olhar frio de decepção. Então virou as costas para mim. — Há um limite para o seu egoísmo, Lilith. Clara é uma humana frágil. Ela tem um problema cardíaco! Você a obrigou a beber essa imundície? Estava tentando matá-la? Não quero ver esse seu lado cruel novamente. Fique aqui dentro e pense no que fez. Ethan, o astro do rock, e Julian, o arquiteto gótico, nem conseguiam olhar para mim. Suas vozes estavam tensas de raiva e exaustão. — Nós toleramos suas birras, mas não para que você machuque nossa família! Você nos decepcionou, Lilith. Fique aí dentro e descubra o que fez de errado. Então, eles cuidadosamente levantaram Clara, que estava "inconsciente", e desapareceram pelo corredor. Mas eles não sabiam: o observatório só deveria abrir à noite. Mas apresentou uma falha. Quando amanheceu, a cúpula não se fechou. A luz mortal do sol invadiu o local. Meu poder evaporou. Meus gritos se transformaram em silêncio. Eu virei cinzas. Três dias depois, meus irmãos voltaram com uma Clara "recuperada". Só então se lembraram de mim. Eles não faziam ideia de que o sol já havia me executado.
