Strekoza: well if you have started reading it then you deserve at least a bit of explaining. Well it is about the victims of night world, how it affects people in love and how it unites people with sorrow. It only has 12 victims described, not necessarily dead. I wanted to write something different for a while to practice my intellectuality (if I have any). Or and also to my dear friends who think that in all my stories I love to kill all the main characters, so this is it. It's like a puzzle - you have 12 pieces and you have to connect them. It's not that easy as it seems at first - the connection is barely noticeable. And if you fit the pieces the wrong way you won't get an actual picture. I hope you like it? Be patient with it, it will be more understandable, what I mean, after a few chapters…
39 Victims
Chapter One
A pair was walking along the docks. The man looked comfortable, the girl didn't.
The thoughts of her brother kept flashing in her mind: he's not right, it's just a date, nothing dangerous is in it, but when she though how many times was her brother correct. If she only knew what her little brother could see, when he closed his eyes he could hear them shouting in agony, when he opened his eyes he saw a façade of cleverly planned schemes and faces, faces of demons staring straight at him from harmless people he knew like his grown up sister's new boyfriend.
The air was cold, no one came out at nights much there. They were on their way back from the cinema taking it as a shortcut.
"Darling, trust me," the man whispered into his companions ear, he encircled her with his strong arms.
"I trust you," it didn't help that her father's words were screaming in her mind: Don't trust no one.
He began to kiss her, his lips felt cool and refreshing on hers, she wanted to stay like that forever. His mouth began to lower, planting delicate kisses on her skin, cheeks, neck; the kisses stayed there, not moving away.
"Tell me you're mine and I could do whatever I want with you," his words against her skin sent chills down her body of anticipation. She felt herself in love.
"I'm yours, whatever the price," price? What price? But there's got to be some price. In this world you don't get anything for free.
He kissed her mouth hard, as if to let her thoughts not matter, and worked his earlier steps down her neck with passion. Instead of stopping at her throat he continued.
Her thoughts were filled with hope towards their future, when she began to feel pain as if something hard had sank into her throat. Two voices started to sing: resist it and the other one, much stronger go along with it.
She began to loose control over the game, life. A sharp gasp escaped her lips. She never felt much giving before as at that moment. Her little brother popped into her confused mind, what will he do if she was…, maybe he was right, she called to him with all her heart asking to forgive her.
The man's hands suddenly lost contact with the girl's body. She didn't feel any pain hitting the hard ground, she was long dead by that time.
Her little brother woke up with a start. He got out of their house, there was no one to stop him, their parents died a few years ago. He quietly ran to the docks, hearing his sister's voice in his mind. The docks weren't far off. He felt his sisters need for him, then he couldn't feel anything at all saying of her presence.
He saw a body of a nineteen year old girl lying on the cold and damp ground. He took her in his tiny eight year old arms, putting her head in his lap.
"I'll protect you," he whispered to her, he knew he'll see her in his dreams as he did see his parents every night. They never recognised him, nor stopped screaming of pain they felt before they died. An instinct in the back of his mind told him of someone's cold presence behind him…
Strekoza: well that's it - first chapter, I'm proud of myself. One more note on settings before you'll start to solve. The time in each chapter is jumbled up, so each chapter might be in the beginning of the line of happenings or the end. There would be a thin line of connection between the chapters and I bet you won't spot it! I'll give two more clues in the following chapters. Bye, for now.
