Miss Lincoln, you ve ruined my hunt, the blonde heard a familiar voice and shuddered. Robert jumped from the corner opposite her. Just like in the office, he was naked, but now he had a necklace of human bones hanging around his neck.
What s stopping you from killing and eating me? I m the only weapon you have in your hands. No human, no problem. Lincoln hid her fear behind sarcasm.
Lena, killing you will be a pretext for war with the Grays and the Light Ones in general, and I want something a little different from you. But that s not important now. Are you lost? Robert s voice was worried.
No, just walking. Probably. I wonder how I got here? Oh, my God Yes, I m lost, Lincoln lowered her head and cringed.
Robert grinned. Why can't these light and eternal ones admit that they sometimes need help from the Dark Ones? Why do they only support enemies and monsters in his clan? Yes, the Dark Eli are people, but they did it for survival. Just like the light ones, they could love, worry about their own and solve the whole spectrum of human emotions and feelings. Everyone, except Roberta. He had tightly closed his heart to any humanity. But now he was preoccupied with leading the wayward girl out of the forest. Whom he desired with every fiber of his soul.
- Got it. Let's go, - Robert extended his hand to Elena. Elena looked at him questioningly.
- I'm not going anywhere with you, - Lincoln straightened her arms on her chest.
- Lena, don't be a child. You're looking for Gray, you have a ball tomorrow. I know the forest, I will lead you to a family, I swear. "I have no intention of taking you to my lair and fucking you," Robert said in a gentle, calm voice, coming closer.
"You beat me as a child, you tortured me. You practically broke my life and psyche. And now you're pretending to be a Knight?" Elena laughed. "In many ways, you are ready to own me."
"Elena, believe me," Robert extended his strong, tanned, sinewy hand to her again.
A wolf howled somewhere in the distance and thunder rumbled. Frightened by the monstrous sounds, Lincoln gasped and childishly placed her hand in the Ogre's.
"Why do you light ones accept our help only when we are not the ones who are scared?" Robert laughed good-naturedly and carefully squeezed the girl's hand.
POV Elena.
As soon as he squeezes my hand, I feel a machine discharge that runs through my body from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. I feel my cheeks flush, and my stomach grows heavy. No, I can t want him. The man next to me is Satan in the flesh. I know every one of his sabbaths, every murder of children, every scar that I received from him. I can t want him, I don t see him We walk through the forest in silence. It s very cozy and calm to be silent with him. I try to analyze myself and him, but it doesn t work. I carefully follow him and soon hear familiar voices: - Elena, where are you - Miss Lincoln .
- Ellie, granddaughter My heart stops. He led me to the Grays. He didn t lie to me. My whole family is looking for me with flashlights. I let go of the Cannibal s hand and go to the Grays. Theo notices me first. He grabs me in his arms and pays me hair.
- Where have you been? - Mia can't calm down and squeezes my hand.
- Lost. Thought about spending the night in the forest, but... - Suddenly I realize that I can't tell them about Robert. The Grays decided that we were having an affair. - I heard your voices and followed them.
We all go back home together. Around midnight I take a shower and go to bed. But before going to bed, my hands themselves reached for the laptop. I quickly type a letter From: Elena Lincoln
To: Robert De Niro
