Chapter 4 Another brutal death!

Alexa came out of the room after changing, Emily brought food one by one from the kitchen and arranged it on the dining table. For dinner Emily cooked lamb, rasalolnik soup and zapikacana (it's made with mushrooms and cheese). Alexa said in surprise,

"You did these cooking yourself!?

Emily laughed and said, "Is there anyone else here but you and me!! Aunt Maria cutted the meat."

Alexa pulled the chair and sat down and asked, "Aunt Maria, who takes care of your farm!?

Pulling up another chair, Emily said, "Hmm, now start. I'm feeling very hungry.

Alexa is quite fond of lamb, Emily prefers Zapicacana. She is sitting with a plate of zapicacana soup. Alexa asked while eating,

"Didn't the traders come to buy Duck, chicken!?

Emily swirled her spoon around the bowl of soup, "No, they'll come next week. Well listen, we haven't been to their house since Julian died. Had to go once, what do you say!!

Alexa shook her head and said, "Hmm, we should go. So let's go tomorrow!?"

Emily said, "No, not tomorrow. Let's go the day after tomorrow!"

Alexa frowned, asking, "Why! What's wrong tomorrow!?"

Emily smiled, "No, I mean. There's a lot of work at home tomorrow. Let's go the day after tomorrow."

Alexa nodded her head in agreement, "Okay.

Emily smiled and said, "I'll go out after breakfast tomorrow morning. You go to the corner of Julian's house. We'll go together from there."

Alexa looked at Emily for a moment and asked, " Emily, do you like Arthur!?

After listening to Alexa's words, Emily gulped and drank water. She got a little embarrassed and asked,

"What !?

Alexa noticed how embarrassed Emily was at bringing up the name of Arthur. She stopped trying to say something. She smiled and said,

"No, nothing."

Emily and Alexa went to the room after dinner. Both of them turned off the lantern and went to bed.

Alexa woke up in the middle of the night. Emily is not in the room! Alexa got off the bed and stood up. She thought to herself, "Maybe Emily got up to drink water.

She was bored after pacing the room for a while. How long has it been, yet Emily has not come to the room! Alexa stood by the window while walking. Two wooden window sashes are half open.

Alexa was startled as she grabbed the window nail. Next to Emily's house is a huge green desert, on the other side is a crop field and then a dense forest!!!

A furry dog ​​is roaming in that green forest. But the dog's behavior does not seem normal at all. The reckless movement looks like a ferocious animal out to catch its prey!!! Alexa squints trying to see. Alexa's heart leapt when she saw the beast clearly in the lamplight.

She left the window and stood a few steps. A chill of fear ran down Alexa's spine. Alexa turned back in shock when someone's hand touched her shoulder. Emily asked with sleepy eyes,

"What are you doing standing here!?

Alexa hollered, "Wolf!!!!

Alexa fell to the floor almost immediately. Emily somehow caught her and laid her on the bed.

Alexa woke up with the sun shining on her face. She is trying in vain to hide the sun with her hands. Alexa looked up at Emily's call. Emily is standing with a bowl of soup beside her bed. She placed the bowl next to the bed and sat next to Alexa. Alexa sat up, running her hands through her frizzy hair. Emily smiled sweetly and said,

"How does you feel now!?

Alexa asked with a raised eyebrow, "Why!! What happened to me!?"

Emily looked at Alexa for a moment and picked up the bowl of soup. The spoon turned around and said,

"I woke up last night and saw you standing quietly in the dark. You lost consciousness while I asking you what were you doing there. Then I dragged you to bed. I called you so much but you didn't response. I thought you might be walking in your sleep like me."

Alexa exclaimed, "Walking in my sleep!!! I'm not like that at all. Never have been.

Emily smiled and put a spoonful of soup in Alexa's mouth and said,

"How would you know!! You sleep alone in your room. I used to sleep with Sister Ella. She used to say I had a tendency to sleepwalk.

Alexa excitedly said, "Hey I was last night

Without letting Alexa say anything else, Emily said, "Hey it's nothing to worry about Alexa. It's normal, it happens to a lot of people.

Alexa didn't say anything else. She knew Emily wouldn't listen to her now. Will start to argue the opposite.

Alexa left Emily's house after breakfast. As the afternoon fell, Emily entered the house with a chicken for dinner. She has to take a bath and cook.

Emily was startled as she closed the door behind her. Arthur is looking at Emily sitting on the chair!

Emily's eyes twinkled happily at Arthur. Arthur stood up from his chair, taking steps towards Emily. As Emily stood still, Arthur touched Emily's chin with a finger. A strange tingling ran through Emily's body.

Arthur looked and saw his lustful gaze all over Emily's body!!! Emily is feeling a bit uncomfortable. She pushed Arthur away and entered into the bathroom.

Arthur chuckled and entered the room next to Emily's. Entering the room, Arthur looked around as he smelled something strange. Noticed that a banana leaf colored scarf was lying untidy next to the bed sheet.

As soon as he took the scarf in his hand, the sweet scent came to Arthur's nose. There is another scent mixed with it. He is trying to close his eyes to understand what the smell is!!

He hurriedly put the scarf into his coat pocket after hearing Emily's call. The scarf is so soft that it went into the pocket in no time. Emily is preparing lunch and setting the dining table.

She cooked chicken, lamb and vegetables, along with salad. Arthur opened a bottle of white wine and began to pour it into a glass. Emily asked in surprise,

"Wine! It's noon!

Arthur chuckled and said, "Is there a difference between day and night in love, Emily!?

Emily understood what Arthur meant. She smiled and said, "No.

Emily ate more wine than food at lunch. Arthur poured glass after glass, and she gulped like a drunk.

Now Emily has no strength to walk another step. Arthur carried Emily into the room and laid her down. Emily continues to babble to herself.

Arthur unbuttons his shirt and looks at Emily with lustful eyes. While taking off the shirt and putting it next to the coat, he saw the scarf. Arthur looked at Emily with the scarf in hand. The scarf is not Emily's at all, and he had smelled such a sweet scent once before.

Seeing the scarf in Arthur's hand, Emily gasped, "Alexa's scarf! How come to you!? !?"

Arthur smirked , " So it's Alexa's scarf?

Emily nodded as Arthur folded the scarf carefully and tucked it into his coat pocket. He slowly moved towards the bed. Emily has no idea what she's talking about. Arthur ignored it and busied himself unfastening Emily's frock.

The bright sun has disappeared and the clouds have gathered in the sky. Not long into the evening, Alexa is walking down the village road. The purpose is going to Emily's house. While hurrying back home in the morning, she dropped her favorite scarf at Emily's house.

She left the house in the afternoon to take it. Agreed, the two of them will go to Julian's house together from Emily's house tomorrow morning.

As evening fell, Alexa knocked on Emily's door. But she did not get any response. Meanwhile, the sky is covered with thick black clouds, lightning flashes from here and there. Alexa went to the windows of the house in annoyance. All the windows are open but there is no light in the house! Now Alexa is very worried, Is Emily okay?

Alexa ran to the living room window and could see nothing in the darkness. At the same time, the sky is broken and the rain is falling. Peeking through all the windows, Alexa called out to Emily. But her voice is drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Alexa was startled by the sound of unearthly roaring when she went to the window of Emily's room to call! She does not dare to call Emily!! But the sound is increasing, Alexa's body began to shake at the strange and terrible sound.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound from somewhere nearby, the surroundings were illuminated for a moment by the flash of lightning.

In that light, Alexa saw a giant wolf in Emily's room. The animal is sitting on the bed and eating something. Alexa screamed seeing this terrible scene. She screamed and fell to the ground.

Alexa woke up as the sun shone on her face. She opened her eyes and slowly sat up from the bed. Holding her head, Alexa looked around with her hands on her forehead. Trying to figure out where she is now!? After looking for a while, she realized that she was lying on the bed in her room!!! Alexa quickly got out of bed, not knowing how she got back to her room!!! Yesterday evening!

Alexa came out of the room thinking about what happened yesterday. A familiar voice is coming from below, she steps down the oak stairs. Her father and brother are talking in the dining room. Doriana was busy cooking, Alexa's heart danced with joy when she saw her father. She ran and hugged Allen, who smiled and sat her next to her. Alexa giggled happily and asked,

"When are you back dad!?"

Allen said to the girl, "I came a while ago, I heard you were resting. So I didn't bother you anymore.

Alexa asked in surprise, "Rest! What happened to me!?"

Doriana is busy bringing breakfast and decorating the dining room. Hearing the girl's words, she clenched her teeth and said,

"What will happen again, I said so much that it is already afternoon, don't go out now. If you listen to me! You also go out, there are clouds in the sky."

Alexa remembered yesterday. Brow asked, "Then!! How did I get back home!?"

Doriana looked for a while and said, "There was a knock on the door at night and Arthur's voice came downstairs. I opened the door and saw Arthur standing with you in his arms!!!

Alexa looked up with wide eyes and said, "Arthur!!!!!!

Doriana pulled up a chair and said, "Yes Arthur, on the way back down the village road he saw you lying in front of Emily's house. God knows what would have happened if Arthur hadn't been there. I can't stop thinking about it."

Alexa sat down in the chair, Allen remained silent for a while and asked Doriana,

"What is going on!! And who is this Arthur!?"

Asked the girl, "And you!!! I told you not to leave the house after afternoon!!!???

Doriana talking about Arthur to Allen. Alexa sits still, nothing going through her head. It was late yesterday when she went to Emily's house. Then she knocked on the door but no one opened the door. Peeking in the window of the house! Wolf!!

Alexa stood up suddenly, quickly ran up the stairs to her room. Alexa's parents were surprised to see Alexa running away.

Alexa entered the room and started getting ready, wearing a short black gown. She got out after scratching her hair somehow. She ran down the stairs and left the house. Allen and Doriana were shocked to see their daughter leave like this. They turned to face each other, Allen stepping out after the girl.

Alexa is running with all the force of her body. Her hair is getting messy in the gusty wind. Farmers look at Alexa curiously as they work in the fields. Many people are watching the flock of sheep grazing.

Alexa didn't stop, as soon as she ran in front of Emily's house, Alexa's shoes fell off. She threw off her shoes and ran barefoot. Alexa began knocking loudly on Emily's door. She started shouting without getting any response from inside. Hearing Alexa's screams, the neighbors gathered in front of Emily's house. No one understands anything, Allen arrives and sees a crowd of people at Emily's house!! He removed them and went inside.

Alexa ran to the farm, fetched a spade from the farm and knocked on the doorknob. But the handle does not break. Allen took the spade from the girl's hand and gritted her teeth and asked,

"What's going on Alexa!? Why are you breaking Emily's door like that!!?

Alexa burst out crying, crying, "Wolf! Emily!!

Hearing the wolf in Alexa's mouth, the local people were frightened. The blood draining from Allen's face, Allen took a step back and looked at the door. He hit the door handle with all his might. After a few strokes, the iron handle broke. Alexa quickly got up and pushed the door open.

The locals also went inside, Alexa fell to the floor screaming as she opened the door to Emily's room. Allen quickly went and picked up the girl. He looked at the bed and saw that the pink bed sheet was red with blood. Emily's dismembered body is lying on top of it!!!!

Without a moment's delay, Allen went out with his daughter. He brought Alexa straight home with a carriage. Allen put her daughter to bed and went to call the village doctor, Roger Luke. Neighbors sent news to Emily's older sister, Ella. A police car stopped in front of Emily's house. Four Lublin police officers, Thomas, Philip, Oliver and Joseph, got out of the car.

Ella and her husband John Benedict arrived. Ella is devastated after hearing the news of her sister's brutal death. She is in a state of losing her senses while crying. John Benedict arranges for Emily's burial.

Lublin police officer Thomas is handling the case, assisted by three others. It was late afternoon to complete Emily's burial. On the orders of Lublin police officer Thomas, Philip and Oliver posted notices all over Lublin. Joseph announced to the crowd,

"Dear Lublin residents. Until now, the fear of wolves has been increasing in the night. Everyone did not go out of the house after dusk for safety reasons. Today after Emily's death, it remains to understand that people are not safe just by locking the doors and windows of the house. That is why the safety of Lublin is considered. The Lublin police have taken a stricter decision. That is, no matter what happens after evening, no one will go outside the house. Two policemen will be on guard every one km.

The sun is gradually falling in the western sky, silence around! The whole of Lublin is now panicked but somewhat relieved to hear that the police are on guard. After a while at Emily's house, Ella's tears of loss of her sister are coming.

Doriana came upstairs to Alexa's room after lighting the lantern. Alexa is lying on the bed, still unconscious. Elderly doctor Roger Luke is sitting in a chair next to the bed. He has a good reputation for good medicine in Lublin. Allen is sitting by the window. After a while looking at the girl with disappointed eyes.

Everyone is devastated by Emily's death. First Julian then Emily!!! And every week someone in the village is dying!!! Who knows when Lublin turns into a tomb!!

Doctor Roger came out after checking Alexa, followed by Allen. Roger came to the living room and said,

"I've known Alexa since she was a child, a soft-hearted girl Alexa. She's traumatized by losing two dear childhood friends in a row. Now Alexa needs complete rest. Let her do what she likes, feed her what she likes. That's all. Let her do what she wants. I hope Alexa will be well soon. I gave her sleeping pills now, she is sleeping. And I will send some medicine tomorrow, feed her regularly.

Allen sighed, "Thanks Roger. And yes, I've got a room for you. It's getting late, stay here tonight."

Roger smiled and said, "Fine.

After dusk, night fell, Lublin was covered in thick blackness. Even the moon in the sky is hidden behind the clouds today, the smell of blood is blowing in the air. Alexa woke up with a thump, her eyelids too heavy to open.

Somehow Alexa sat up, sat quietly for a while and looked at the lantern with wide eyes. Thr lantern is burning on the table, but its light is so dim that Alexa can't see clearly. Everything seems so blurry. She is very thirsty for water. Alexa slowly got out of bed and stood up.

She shuffled towards the table. Pouring water from the jug, Suddenly she felt as if someone's hot breath was hitting her neck! Alexa turned back in shock, looked around and saw that there was no one in the room!!! But she felt!! Alexa swallowed dryly.

The white curtains are fluttering in the wind coming from the open window. Alexa left the glass and slowly walked towards the window. While removing the curtain and locking the window, she noticed something moving in the distance between the crop fields. Alexa squinted her eyes. Seeing a pair of green lights flashing, she thought to herself, "Maybe a weevil."

But Alexa's thoughts were interrupted by the howling of a wolf from somewhere nearby. Immediately, the green light went out. Alexa's heart stopped beating, her eyes bugged out. Alexa closed the window and lay on the bed. She is shaking with fear, it seems as if electricity is playing in her body!!!!
