“Help!” A loud scream rang out.
Caleb woke up. eyes wide open
The ferocious roar of the beast And the panicked screams that resounded suddenly disappeared. It was like an echo that suddenly disappeared.
Caleb gasped. Black eyes swept along the empty walls of the room. closed curtains and the door to the room that was locked tightly and when his eyes got used to the darkness Caleb discovered what was causing his heart to beat faster right now. It was just a nightmare.
It was just a dream -- Caleb told himself -- his eyes still wide open. while staring at the bedroom ceiling
He could feel the heart in his left chest beating slowly. Listen to the sound of his breathing slowly fading.
Caleb found him lying in bed. in the same position as before he closed his eyes last night One arm remained straight under the blanket. while the other hand was holding his delicate palm tightly
Caleb glanced at the palm he was holding. before looking at the face of the owner of that palm
Mary Gold's green eyes were staring. His full lips gave a slight smile. It was as if he had been secretly staring at him for a long time.
“Hello,” Caleb whispered to his young wife.
“Hello,” she whispered in response.
Caleb looked at the dark circles under her eyes. before asking softly, “Have you slept, Mary?”
Mary Gold did not answer.
Caleb stared at her for a long time. Decided not to investigate further. The thick hand that held her hand slid up along the slender arm. and her delicate shoulders softly
Caleb's dark eyes fixed the young wife's face -- he scrutinized her face. both rounded forehead stubborn nose and full lips in front of her -- she looked tired and weary. But the sweetness in front of Caleb felt like he was drawn closer to her -- and more -- so much that he could see the freckles on his nose. and the dazzling glow in those green eyes was clearly visible.
But then everything stopped very quickly.
At that moment, his entire body stopped. The palm that was holding onto her shoulder suddenly tensed up.
Caleb forbids himself --
Don't let him get any closer to her --
Mary Gold's green eyes continued to stare at him. As if silently contemplating his attitude -- Caleb looked at her. to feel some feelings in the other person's heart
But Mary Gold didn't ask any questions --
Silence engulfed for a long time. Until finally Caleb moved. He leaned forward to kiss her fiery red hair. Then moved down from the bed. stand up to full height He glanced at the other arm that had been stretching all night. He looked all the way to the palm that was holding the log tightly. Caleb moved his arms to allow blood to flow more easily. Eliminate beriberi and anguish Silently walked towards the door of the room.
Mary Gold's voice came from behind him --
He paused a little. His face was more solemn than before. as if gathering his own consciousness Then stepped out of the room. without turning back to look at her and silently shut the door.
The tall figure walked down a small staircase to the ground floor of the house. The hallway was still dim as well as the living room and the kitchen. The house was silent -- no sound was heard. Except for the sound of his own stairs
Ead - Aad
Caleb stepped down the last step of the stairs. When the clattering sound of the plank disappeared He stopped listening to the sounds around him again --
Suddenly, he heard some noise in the silence. It's like the groan of a wild beast -- but in a flash, Everything fell into the same silence as before.
Caleb looked at the news bulletin stacked in the middle of the living room. before walking in and exploring
It was a series of news stories arranged in a long line. like a story that has been pieced together Each issue headed the news.
The village was full of rotten stench.
The rotten smell of death
village curse
Caleb shifted his gaze to the bulletin board piece on the other side.
Flocks of migratory birds and the dead birds swarm throughout the city.
The mysterious cry of the night expected from the forest border
wild beast invade humans
Mysterious death
Until yesterday's latest news that said
The terrifying mystery of the village
At this point, the black eyes left the pile of paper in front of me. Gently gazing at the blood stained across the carpet, the wooden floor and the walls of the room.
Then he bent down and grabbed something off the floor -- Caleb slowly flicked it over the wooden floor. It was as if on purpose the liquid flowing from the thing spread throughout the area.
Caleb moved slightly closer to the window. until the moonlight shines in revealing what he held tight --
It was a human arm. cut off flooded with blood and stinks until it stings his nose
but his face remained indifferent. without fear or any consensus all he focused Only the scarlet blood was scattered throughout the area.
until Caleb was satisfied with what he had done. He threw the forearm into the corner of the room carelessly. before turning around into the original hallway One hand reached into the cloak. and grabbed a piece of tobacco
It was then that his ears heard the sound of footsteps --
Caleb glanced into the kitchen -- no one was there.
Black eyes glanced towards the door of the house. But it's still sealed as before --
The tall figure remained silent for a long time. before walking towards that door and grabbed the door latch tightly.
He remained silent for a long time. Finally let go and then slowly walked away Turned around and walked back into the living room.
Caleb stopped his footsteps in the middle of the room. Look at the corner of the old carpet on the floor. Slowly bend down and move it into place. Then he grabbed a match from his cloak. then light up the tobacco
Caleb slowly let out a gray smoke from his lips. Moved and sat down on the padded chair next to him. Black eyes swept around the living room. while placing a piece of wood beside him
There was still silence inside the house --
Caleb
Tobacco smoke fills the lungs The black eyes continued to stare at the darkness in front of him. His wavy lips twitched, puffing out another gray smoke. before slowly moving his other hand into the cloak Then a voice rang out in the midst of a loud silence --
The moonlight shone through the cracked window into the room. Something was revealed in Caleb's hand. although not clear But it was enough to notice that it was a gun.
"Come out," Caleb's low, low voice said softly. but clearly loud in the room His sharp eyes stared into the pitch-dark corner of the room.
“You have five minutes,” he told the night intruder laosbet
