 CHAPTER 5: BATTLE

 Taking a promise from your new acquaintances that they will

I have two free days ahead of me.

 I fell asleep very quickly. I had all sorts of dreams about how I

No, he had three heads. Looking at me angrily, he released
steam from the nostrils. Finally it let out a terrible scream that made
My breath caught in my throat. Everything that was in the area was scattered
splinters shook, broken windows shook, the earth shook. And then I realized
that all this terrible sound is heard in reality.

 I instantly opened my eyes. Cold sweat covered my entire body.
I started to shake. I wanted to scream and jump quickly
into open space. The closest way was through the window. Dark
the curtains swayed slowly under the influence of the air,which
came from an open window. I don't know how much time passed, but it was
quiet.  The disgusting silence hurt my ears. I was already finished
I decided that I had dreamed everything, when suddenly I heard the sound from the kitchen again.

my dishes left on the table. Horror seized all his limbs.

 Having gathered all the remnants of strength and courage, I got out of bed and took
a mount standing against the wall, which turned out to be just right
tee.  “At least something is good,” I thought. This thought gave me
confidence and I walked towards the kitchen. The ringing started again, but
the screams were not repeated. Finally I came to the last corner. Dos-

did I go? The dishes continued to clink.

 I suddenly jumped out from around the corner. The noise stopped. The dishes were
scattered on the floor. At first I didn’t notice anything, but then I looked
zero on the kitchen table. It was dark outside, and the table was covered
the shadow of the refrigerator, so it was difficult to make out anything there.
But I saw one thing for sure: two evil glowing eyes stared
at me.  They looked neither human nor canine,
not like cats. “Run, run away from here, and away!” - immediately
I thought, but with an effort of will I overcame myself. The creature moveselk, and I saw the size of the body. It was the size of a large
cat.  The creature was not going to run away, moreover, I realized that
it is preparing to attack. But it was too late. It was already flying towards me.
Only by miraculously jumping to the side did I almost avoid a collision. Od-
a clawed paw scratched my face, and I realized that it was coming

I heard bones crunch and saw blood. I beat him for a long time until
the head was gone, just a bloody mess.

 First of all, I turned on the light. I froze in horror: the creature

there were no traces left. My vision went blurry. "What the hell
come on, is this still happening here?” - this question came up sharply.

 CHAPTER 6: MEETING

 I couldn’t have breakfast, because the food was absolutely not in my stomach.
lo.  There was a shallow but large scar on my face. "We must
will somehow explain to people the reason for its origin,” I thought
I. The idea of telling the truth disappeared immediately, as I was accepted
for a crazy person.  Although I wasn't sure what was really
all right.

 I decided to take a walk down the street. On the stairs I immediately met
Alexandra, who stood at the open window and smoked. Seeing me
he immediately said hello, but the next question was, of course,
Xia, “What happened to you?” Alexander was a man who
whom I trusted most of all, excluding, of course, my new graduates.trusted acquaintances in the person of Maria Ivanovna and her husband. I realized that
any nonsense, like the version about falling from the stairs, will be untrue
similar.  So I decided to tell him everything that really happened
this night. I was afraid that otherwise I would lose his trust, and this...
I didn't want to.

 I understood that if everything really was the way I was supposed to...
it seemed, then one of the neighbors must have heard these
screams and noise. Questioning other people would be suspicious, so
I decided to ask him about it. I briefly told the story, and...
Tom asked if he had heard anything. Alexander lived on mine
floor, so he must have heard something. But he replied that all
slept completely peacefully at night, although he sleeps very lightly, so that
even sometimes a gust of wind can wake him up. In his eyes I pronounced
I looked like a complete idiot.

 I understood that something was wrong with me. I would decide
that all this is a figment of my sick imagination, but my wounds are all
time to remind us of ourselves. I didn't know what to do.
