– Raspberries? I think it's creative, - he approached. A huge hand lay on top of my arm and ... what do they say? Spark, storm, uh!

– Ummm...es. Yes ovkos, - I murmured. But then she shook her head, reminding herself that this was a crazy boyfriend of a friend.

- Alina ... Alina dont love yu. Andestend? Shchi lov ... um ... another. Go Home.

"I... don't understand you," he furrowed his eyebrows. – You are Alina. Am I wrong?

“Yes, yes, in the sense of Es,” I rolled my eyes. Foolish English. - Ai Am tu. But I am a different Alina. “Damn, doesn’t he remember who he’s dying for?” Quite ku-ku? - Ah, Alina Kovaleva. I jabbed a finger at my chest. - Friend Alina Beloklykova. Karoch, shchi dont go to you. Shchi have boyfriend. Please, get away from her. OK?

It seemed that the frown could not be stronger, but the prince succeeded. I literally saw the thoughts flash before his eyes. Noticed the Tiffany pendant hanging over my T-shirt, and his pretty yet psychotic head went haywire. Damn, really weird. Is this a reaction to the fact that the beloved is with another? Just don't faint, okay?

The guy took a step back, and then he tripped on a branch and began to fall! Right into the wet rocks!

“Careful,” I instinctively twitched, dropping the bucket and grabbing his arm, trying to hold him. It goes without saying that with such different dimensions it is impossible, at that moment there were no thoughts.

As a result, the prince from England not only slapped his back, but was pinned down by my not-so-important person. To add to the idiocy of the situation, my lips rested on his neck.

Oh how he smells...

Hints of citrus, mint and something woody. I couldn't help myself and took a deep breath. I remembered an advertisement about how a guy had to apply a certain deodorant on himself and the girls of the whole city began to hang on him. Now this video seemed very believable.

"Oh," I propped myself up on my elbow. - Oh, sorry. What are you like? Bee Kerful.

He didn't answer. He stared at me, as if he understood the essence of the theory of relativity and, it seemed, was not breathing.

Oh, don't tell me that something stuck in you from that side! Driving a guy away from a girlfriend is one thing, but killing him is another! The dead body joke is no longer funny.

I jumped up and took his hand.

- Yu okay? Call a doctor? - I was glad that I didn’t see any pin from her chest, but from the dilated pupils it can be assumed that he kissed his head.

- Alina ...

No one has ever said my name in such a velvety honey voice. Is it mine?

I wanted to ask to leave my friend behind, even opened her mouth ...

His eyes darkened sharply. It seemed to me that I was falling somewhere, but I could not determine up, down, forward or backward. Through the blackness suddenly and sharply flashed a red light. At the same time, my back hit something hard. When did I fall?

I tried to get up, focusing on the red light, but at that very moment it went out. My head was spinning from the darkness that enveloped me and the sudden weakness that swept over me.

“Hey,” I called, don’t understand who. - Hey, is there anyone here?

The blackness filled with sounds as soon as my voice vibrated in the air. At first they were somewhere far away, as if I went out onto the porch of the house at night and listened to the beast in the forest. But with every heartbeat, the night creatures were getting closer. So, clearly, clearly, it's time to stop watching horror movies! His heart began to beat uneasily. Your well ... what's going on?

I finally managed to get up, but I had no idea where to go.

- Hey! Hey Englishman! Mark! - I called the one who should definitely be nearby. - Where are you? Ver ar yu? Mark!

Instead of an answer, a new red flash pierced my eyes, and then a dull purple glow hit from the ground, and I was able to look around. The mist hid my ankles and rolled around in misty waves. Terrible sounds, growling, screeching and very close, pressed on the back of the head. I turned my head in confusion, not understanding where the danger was, and then I saw the eyes. Many eyes and human ones were definitely not among them.

Little by little, animals appeared among the outlines. But monstrously large. Everyone looked at me and grinned. Some hung from trees like the dome of some horror circus. And I'm in the arena. Fuck.

They'll tear it... They'll tear it for sure!

It's pointless to even run. Legs trembled and breath hitched.

But the giant bird swooped down on me first. One wave of the wing, which covered the entire clearing with a shadow. I shied away with a scream. My foot caught on some kind of snag, and I flopped on my back. The bird plopped down on the grass and spread its tattered wings. Clicking her beak, she screeched disgustingly and stretched out her long naked neck with the remnants of plumage towards me. In the dark, you can't see what kind of monster it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it was even a dragon!

- Do you want to eat me? Come on, choke! - I grabbed the first thing that came to hand, it turned out to be a heavy cobblestone, and threw it at the enemy.

Aimed for the head, but hit the wing. Good too. The bird swayed and let out a piercing screech. Then she stared at me with reddish eyes and sharply rushed to the attack.

Oh damn! I was not prepared for this! Maximum protection from dogs! Three times smaller! I tried to crawl away, but obviously too slowly. She will definitely break my head with her beak. Strength be healthy!

Suddenly, something thudded in the air and a huge wolf appeared between me and the bird, blocking the road. Black and very pretty. Bending his front paws as if before a jump, he growled hollowly. This quiet, but threatening sound was enough for the bird to slow down and cowardly backed away. The wolf raised his head. Under his gaze, the lights of animal eyes were extinguished. Those who wanted to feast on my raspberry-soaked carcass retreated.

Finally, he turned to me, his golden-brown eyes gleaming in the darkness. The head swiveled again. The leaking consciousness made out the features of the face of the English prince, who bent over me.

Mark, are you a wolf? I muttered and hung up.

Chapter 4

I opened my eyes without realizing what had happened. I was a little nauseous, and weakness spread all over my body. What's wrong with me? Did you faint? Here's a job for you in the sun. Although I'm used to it. It's strange that this happened. Yes, even with the prince ...
