Chapter 3 Love or something else!

The sky is covered with thick black clouds,Lightning strikes intermittently. It has been raining in Lublin since last night, not to mention stopping.

Alexa is sitting by the window in her room. Lightning is thundering loudly !! Now there is no way to understand that it's morning or afternoon. Doriana came and called her for lunch a while ago. Alexa closed the window and left the room.

Daniel is playing with his toy. Suddenly a woman and her baby came and stood under Alex's house in the rain. Doriana called the woman to feed the boy. She is a middle-aged woman, with her one-and-a-half-year-old son.

At Doriana's call, the woman came and sat on the verandah. The two of them got wet in the rain.

Doriana asked,

"Cecilia, why did you come out this rainy day !?

Alexa looked at the woman. Cecilia took the large handkerchief out of the plastic bag slung over her shoulder and wiped her face. Wiping the baby's hands and feet, she said,

"I went to the market, Doriana. I sold the chickens this morning. We didn't eat all day yesterday. Samuel cried all night for hunger !!"

Doriana sighed and said, "How long will it take Cecilia to sell the farm chickens like this !? Samuel has to grow up.

Cecilia sighed and said, "Tell me what to do! I've had to do everything since Samuel's father left.

After Doriana fed the boy, she let Cecilia and Samuel eat. Alexa took Samuel in her arms. He's pretty calm boy. As she ate, Cecilia said,

"Doriana, do you know the news of this morning !?

Doriana brought Daniel's T-shirt and pajamas from the room. Wearing them, Samuel asked,

"Why! What happened !?

Cecilia said in a frightened voice, "The children were playing next to the corn field. Suddenly they saw orange water flowing from there !!

Daniel stopped playing when he heard that. Alexa and Doriana are also looking curiously at Cecilia. Cecilia paused and said again,

"The children started moving forward little by little. As they started moving towards the corn field, the orange color gradually turned into red !!! At one point, the red color became darker and blood started flowing !!! They found the corpse of "Julian" is lying in the corn field !!!!!!

Cecilia's words were followed by lightning with a loud noise somewhere nearby !! Illuminated for a moment, Lublin was filled with darkness !!!!

Alexa entered her room and closed the door. She left her legs randomly and went to bed and sat down. Alexa blinked as she stared at the floor.

Her golden childhood spent with Julian floated in her eyelids !! She liked Julian from a young age, but not as a boyfriend. Just as a best friend. Today she has lost that friend forever !! Julian didn't return home yesterday. He must have felt guilty for hurting Alexa !! If Alexa had listened to him once, maybe Julian would have been in front of her today.

Alexa is responsible her for Julian's death. No werewolves, Alexa killed Julian !!!!! Salt water rolled down both sides of Alexa's eyes. Alexa cried in the pig. The sound of her crying gradually increased. She lay down on the pillow and cried profusely.

Nature has calmed down after two consecutive days of rain. But today the cold wind is not blowing. The smell of wet soil is not floating, the chirping of birds is not heard anywhere.

The clouds are moving in the sky and the sun is shining. Alexa is sitting in the orchard, stunned by Julian's death. Alexa is drawing on the ground with the dried branches of the tree lying next to her. Suddenly she was startled by the sound of the carriage, she thought maybe her father has come !!

A girl is coming down from the carriage towards Alexa. Brown hair is falling on her fair face again and again. Emily is here !! Emily sat down next to Alexa, there was no change in Alexa. She made up her mind to draw on the ground again with the dried twig. Emily looked at the huge forest standing nearby and said,

"Did you see Julian's body !?

Alexa's eyebrows were broken, and two drops of salt water rolled down his cheeks.

"No!

Emily said in a thumping voice, "I saw it.

Alexa looked at Emily at once. Emily said with a Thumping throat, "You know, he didn't have a single piece of flesh on his body. There was only blood on his bones! There was a stream of blood all around him! Both of his eyes seem to have left the hole !

Emily broke down in tears as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks. Alexa hugged Emily, and Emily whispered,

"Julian is no more Alexa !! The beast ate him !!! What a horrible murder !!!!!

Alexa put one hand on Emily's head and said, "Calm down Emily. Let's see Julian's grave."

Emily restrained herself and said, "Hmm, let's go.

The century-old cemetery is next to the Lublin church. Julian is buried here. Alexa and Emily stand by Julian's grave. They placed wild flowers on the tombstone and prayed. Alexa can't accept Julian's brutal death. As she walked, Emily said with a contemptuous smile,

"We won't survive Alexa. Like Julian, the werewolf will kill us too !!

Alexa sighed and said, "Trust God, everything will be fine. Julian said the police force will come from the city to kill the wolves."

Emily said with a contemptuous smile, "No one will come, Alexa. The wolves will make the village depopulated."

Alexa grabbed Emily's hand and said, "Don't be so broken, everything has an end. One day Lublin will return to normal life. Lublin will be free from the terror of wolves."

Emily said with a frown, "It's not as easy to say, it's not as easy as Alexa. You haven't seen it, I've seen it. I've seen Julian's dismembered body, Alexa."

Emily hurried off before Alexa could say anything more. Alexa said in a frustrated voice, "God please save us!

Emily returned home and saw Arthur standing in front of the house !!! Emily asked in surprise,

" Why are you here !?

Arthur scratched his head and laughed, " Uh, I was walking this way.

Emily smiled and said, "Oh well, let's go inside.

Emily enters the house and lets Arthur sit in the living room and goes to her room. Arthur looks around the house. The one-storey house has two rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. Keep everything in the house tidy. Emily is quite a tidy type of girl.

There is a family photo on the wall, a couple and their two daughters. Arthur looks very familiar with the little girl. Suddenly he thought, this is Emily!

Emily took a bath and came out to wipe her hair. Seeing Arthur standing in front of their family photo, she said,

"My parents, my older sister and I.

Arthur stepped back to say something but stopped. Emily is wearing a white gown. The gown is so thin that the folds of her body are seemed !!

Almost immediately Arthur rolled his eyes and said in a hushed voice,

"Oh well.

Emily brought a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it to Arthur. Going to take the glass, the water of wet hair in front of Emily's face came in his hand !!!

Arthur got up from the cape and drank. Emily sat on his opposite chair, wiping her hair, and said,

" So did you come to visit again !?

Arthur laughed and said, " No, I mean.

He looked out of the window and saw a flock of sheep wandering in the distance. Arthur looked at her and said,

"To buy sheep.

Emily was surprised and said, "Buy sheep !? Will you build a farm too !?

Emily smiled. Arthur said without shaking his head, "I will eat the sheep, I heard that good and healthy sheep are available here."

Emily laughed and said, "Well, I have a farm too. You can buy it if you want."

Arthur said, " Then, let's see the sheep.

Arthur liked the fattest lamb among the flocks. He ate lunch and left from Emily's house. He is standing in front of Emily's house with the sheep tied up for the carriage. But he is not getting any carriage today. Arthur is getting restless while standing in the hot sun.

Emily looked out the window and saw Arthur still standing on the street. Meanwhile, it is going to be afternoon. Emily came out of the house with a scarf wrapped around her body. Standing next to Arthur, she said,

"The wolf's terror is growing day by day. The coaches also do not come here in the afternoon for fear of death.

Arthur asked casually, "The wolf's panic is growing, Lublin police are not taking any action?

Emily smiled and said, "Not the wolf, it's werewolf! Whoever comes will be in the same situation.

Arthur looked up for a moment and said, "Are you scaring me !?

Emily laughed and said, "It's going to be afternoon, you won't get carriage anymore. Stay at my house tonight. You'll get carriage tomorrow morning.

Arthur looked around and said, "What else to do, let's go then.

It's getting late, the birds are fluttering back and forth. Alexa is staring at the red sky as the sun sets. She doesn't know why she is feeling very restless. She is not getting peace while lying down. She wants to leave the prison cell in the four walls, to escape and get lost somewhere far away. Suddenly Daniel's call interrupted Alexander's thoughts. Daniel came forward on all fours, and sat down beside his sister. Alexa smiled and put her hand on her brother's head and said,

" What happened! Want to say something?

Daniel blinked at his small eyes and asked, " Sister! Do you like Arthur brother!?

Alexa was a little surprised by the sudden question, she took her brother in her arms and asked " I think he's a good person. What about you? do you like him !?

Daniel giggled happily, "I like Arthur brother very much. You know, I think Arthur brother likes you.

As soon as she heard that, Alexa jumped up and said in a hushed voice, "Why did you suddenly feel that way !?

Before Daniel could say anything, Doriana came into the room. She rebuked the boy and said,

"You are here !! And I am looking for the whole house over there !!! Come on, it's time to read.

Daniel sighed and got down from his sister's lap and left the room. Doriana said as she left the room,

"Knit the sweaters.

Alexa let out a sigh and sat down with the bag off the table shelf. She is knitting sweaters, but her mind is somewhere else. What did Danny say just now! Does Arthur really like her !! Or Danny came to her room for escape from reading. Nothing comes to her mind.

The whole house is glowing with candlelight. Arthur is sitting on the tool and burning wood in the fireplace. The sun has been shining all day, but it is getting cold in the evening !

Emily is sitting in the kitchen burning corn on the fire. Arthur came to the kitchen with that smelly nose. Emily is sitting in a short frock burning corn. Her exposed pale back is visible as her hair comes to the fore. Arthur looked at her and said,

"It's cold today, wear some warm cloth.

Emily looked up and saw Arthur playing pranks in his eyes. Emily smiled softly and pulled all her hair to one side. Now the back of her neck is clearly visible. Arthur smirked and walked over to Emily. Leaning a little, he said,

"Be careful, you can't blame me later.

Arthur's hot breath hit Emily's throat. Emily looked intoxicated. Arthur brought the corn on a plate and came out of the kitchen.

Arthur and Emily are sitting face to face while eating corn. Arthur eats less and looks more at Emily.

Emily probably understood the matter. Leaving the corn, she slowly stood up, Arthur looked at Emily. Emily put one foot on Arthur's thigh, put both hands on Arthur's neck and said softly,

"It's time to go to sleep, Arthur.

Arthur smirked and took Emily in his arms. Arthur enters the room and throws Emily into the bed. In the candlelight, Emily's intense desire is evident in her eyes. Arthur smirked.

The desire is growing in him too. Which is more intense than Emily's desire! Like tasty food is lying in front of a hungry animal. And the animal is desperate to eat that food.

Without waiting for a moment, Arthur jumped on Emily's soft body. Seeing his greedy gaze, a gentle shiver ran through Emily's body. But now nothing can affect her at this moment.

Her so many years of nourishing body have gone crazy to get Arthur's untouched touch! The candle went out in the light air coming through the window.

In the pitch dark, only the sound of screaming and pushing flesh with the flesh is floating!

Emily woke up in the sunlight coming through the window, she sat up with her eyes closed. She looked around and saw Arthur nowhere. Emily came out of the room wearing a thin gown. Removing the sheets. She didn't find Arthur even after searching all over the place, she didn't even take the sheep !!

Emily came and sat in the living room. There's a piece of white paper folding over the tool in front of her and holding it with a glass. She quickly removed the glass and took the paper, opened it and saw the words,

"Sorry, I have to go to work. I'll be back the next day. Good morning Emily"

Emily smiled as she read the letter, carefully putting it in her favorite diary. At first sight, Emily had a crush on Arthur. Last night it turned into love. Now Arthur loves her too.

Doriana is busy picking fruit in the orchard, and Alexa is helping her. Fruit traders have come to buy fruits. The fruits were packed in huge baskets and picked up by the coachmen in three carriages. Nicholas, a fruit merchant, handed over one hundred and forty gels (thirteen hundred and thirty rubles) to Doriana.

Doriana is counting the money while sitting in the dining room feeling happy. Alexa arranged the fruit in a basket and placed it on the dining table, saying,

"This time the yield is higher than before.

Doriana laughed and said, "Hmm, I got a hundred and ten gels last year. Anyway, I put two bags of fruit on the stairs. One for Julian's family and another for Emily."

Alexandra was shocked when she heard Julian's name. Which face will she go to Julian's house !? How can she stand in front of his sick mother !!!

Alexa did not sat in bed at noon. If she fall asleep at the end !! She have to give the fruits. She wore a green long frock and a scarf around her neck. She left the house with two bags.

Alexa is standing in front of Julian's house. She came a few days ago, when the family was pretty happy. She doesn't know if Julian's family still mourns his death !! Alexa knocked on the door. Julie opened the door and hugged Alexa and said,

"Come in Alexa.

Alexa smiled and entered the room, Julian's mother was lying on the bed. Alexa went and sat down next to hee, Julie handed hee a glass of water. Alexa asked after drinking water,

"How is Aunty's health condition now !?

Julie smiled and said, "It's good. Mother is devastated by Julian's departure. All of a sudden she started crying and shouting. Exclude all that, I'm glad you came. Sit down and I'll have some meal for."

Alexa interrupted and said, "No, sister Julie. You better stay with Auntie. Now I have to go to Emily's house.

Julie smiled and said, "Well, come again. Bring Doriana Aunty and Daniel with you."

Alexa nodded and nodded, "Okay sister, see you later.

Julie said again, "Well Alexa! Does Emily have a relationship with anyone !?

Suddenly Alexa was surprised to hear about Emily's relationship. Laughing out loud, she asked, "Why! What happened !?

Julie came forward and lowered her voice and said, "Yesterday, on my way back from the market, I saw Emily standing and talking to a tall, handsome young man. Later, she entered the house with him.

Alexa doesn't understand who Julie is talking about. Emily will have a relationship and she will not know !! And she loved Julian, then ! Julie put her hand on Alexa's shoulder and said,

"Emily stays home alone, the time is not good. Tell her to be careful.

Alexa reassured Julie and came out quickly. Walking down the street and thinking, Julian died less than a week ago. Emily must not have been able to overcome the grief! But who is the man?

When she entered Emily's house, she saw Emily feeding the chickens. Seeing Alexa, she washed her hands and said,

"How are you Alexa!?

Alexa laughed and said, " I'm fine.

Emily went to freshen up by putting Alexa in the living room. Alexa looked around and put the bag on the table. Emily came after fresh up and started wiping her hands and face. Alexa pointed to the bag and said,

"Mom sent.

Emily smiled sweetly and took an apple out of the bag and said while eating it, "Umm, delicious !! How much is this time!?

Alexa pulled up a chair and sat down and said, "One hundred and forty gels.

Emily took out all the fruit from the bag, brought the basket from the kitchen and arranged it in it and said,

"You had a good harvest this time.

As the evening wore on, Alexa folded her bag and said, " Well, I've to go now.

Emily looked out the window and said, "It's getting late, you don't have to go home anymore. It's going to be late."

Alexa let out a sigh and said, " When I sit down to talk to you, I spend the whole day.

Emily laughed when she heard Alexa's words. She brought a night gown from her room and said to Alexa,

"Change it.

Alexa went to the other room with the night gown.

Emily went into the kitchen and started making dinner.
