In the Darkness of City Blocks 1
A year ago.The eyes are opened, but they see nothing, darkness is all around, the night darkness of city premises, devoid of light. After a while, from the impenetrable blackness, at first barely perceptible contours of the walls and objects surrounding the gaze appear. The ringing silence around, slightly presses on the ears, does not give orientation, only touch, while there is no sight - again this. T so real and clear.- I'm definitely sick.Thoughts ring in my head, as if someone nearby is speaking in a distinct whisper.- You have to get up, you have to get up. Write down, no more minute. And to hell with everything . It's night now , but who needs it at all. No, no, I'm getting up . Three , it will be too late.A hand fumbles over the nightstand next to the bed. In from it is the desk lamp switch, slightly worn and loose. A click, the small bedroom lit up with the light of a small blue-shaded lamp. The bright light of a cold shade painfully cut the eyes, forcing the pupils tha

Through the gray clouds, moonlight reluctantly made its way, slightly illuminating the roofs of houses. The wind made a slight noise, hitting the shaggy body, seeping through the developing strands of wool, rushed further - the wind is generally difficult to surprise with something. With light leaps, Alud ran along the roofs of houses, not paying attention to obstacles, deftly jumping over attics, in which the pigeons did not even have time to be frightened. Dynamics was present not only in movements, but also in thoughts.- What is this? Where is everything that once was? They made cities, now hide from these flawed people. And those vampires, motherfucking suckers! - the werewolf was so immersed in his thoughts that sometimes he simply demolished obstacles, not noticing them on the way, then the brickwork squinted, and here you have to re-erect the scaffolding.- Absolutely crazy, we need to find these reptiles, if Brook-ta-man said that they are not local, then they hang out in the

There was a steady fog over the night city, covering everything around with its veil. The light of the neon advertisements was losing its brightness as it passed through the masses of evaporating water. People reluctantly went outside and moved as quickly as possible, afraid to get caught in the rain. At this late hour, cars were still passing by, cutting through the fog with their lanterns, leaving behind only trails from the wheels and copious drops that threatened to splash the gaping passerby. In such weather, it is easy to move in the form of fog, you will not be noticed in any case. On an ordinary night, you need to follow, adapt to the environment, so as not to arouse suspicion. Brook-ta-man loved cloudy weather, it gave a lot of impressions. He walked along the main street, constantly changing shape, completely merging with the surrounding fog, and only a very attentive person will see a vampire covered in fog in the clouds of urban smog. After wandering around the streets a l

The booming crunch almost stopped, giving way to continuous champing, Alud finished his feast, complaining a little that the food was not quite healthy and not as tasty as before. Fragments of bones and scraps of clothing, pools of blood around, torn flesh, that's all that remains of a person. The werewolf turned his head, looking for some kind of package. From the shaggy mouth flew blood mixed with saliva, in time with the turns of the head, the shiny coat trembled slightly, sometimes filled with glare from the light.- Here. - The head is frozen, the eyes are fixed on the target - a large black garbage bag is strong enough to haul heavy construction debris.- What you need, and strong and does not shine through, and does not leak, but where were these packages a hundred years ago, at least some benefit from civilization. He muttered softly, pulling the half-empty bag towards him, simultaneously shaking the garbage out of it.- Eat, wash the dishes. Thought Alud, with a slight smirk

Vegetables were stewed on a hot frying pan, next to it was a medium-sized pot with soup that was not yet ready, the smells of food spread throughout the kitchen, moisture from the hot steam settled in small shiny droplets, like perspiration. An older woman was standing over the stove making her late dinner. On the wall, in beige wallpaper, hung a round clock in a lilac frame with small purple patches, reminiscent of the shape of a cat's fine fur. The second hand moves smoothly in a circle. Three o'clock in the morning. The illusion of time control, an attempt to somehow tie down the inevitable course of events going up their spiral. 3:0. Brown dress, the color of fresh cocoa, with long openwork inserts, gently -blue, reaches the knees, slightly covering them with a translucent edge decorated with a fancy pattern. Large fluffy pink slippers. On a thin neck hang several necklaces of an old style, with small inlaid stones, some covered with some incomprehensible writing. They rattle ligh

A sharp lunge towards the enemy, the werewolf knocks down his enemy, powerful blows fall in an endless stream. Alud growls, with a flourish he plunges his claws into the sides, shoulders and chest of the enemy lying on the asphalt. There is a slight bewilderment on the face of the defeated hunter, turning into a cheeky grin, one blow to the werewolf's chest, and he flies off a good four meters.Why so much power in this body? The werewolf thought, rubbing his sore chest. The hunter stood up, black wounds from Alud's claws gaped under the torn cloak, greenish, thick smoke came out of them, the wounds healed instantly. Steel flashed again in his hand, an alloy with silver, and Alud smelled something else unfamiliar. It was a small, slightly curved saber, reminiscent of the Egyptian khopesh *The guard was in the form of a thick ring around the handle. The surface was covered with symbols, a vampire, in place of Alud, of course, would have examined them without any problems, but the were

A cheap, threatening-looking knife went down his neck, leaving a red streak behind him. Blood poured over his pale skin, soaking his clothes and dripping onto the pavement. Brook-ta-man was cleaning up the traces of his presence. Now it looks like a common crime "gangster attack with the intent to rob." A watch, a thick gold chain, a purse, all thoughtfully pulled out and tucked into pockets. A deep incision on the neck will hide the marks of the predator's teeth. The vampire was satiated and gained strength. Although, unfortunately, the knowledge received from the blood was not enough. The usual stupid scumbag, the vampire did not receive anything new and moral satisfaction, except for the murder itself. He straightened up to his full height, raised his head, exhaled noisily, bared his fangs. Now he is ready for battle. He will choose the time and the most important place of the battle. The vampire turned abruptly and quickly ran towards the western part of the city.Some time later,

Alud woke up, his eye was covered with blood, his shoulder ached brutally, his back ached, his whole body felt weak and in pain, the werewolf stood up, whining and groaning. The hated piece of steel that had caused him so much suffering lay nearby. The werewolf casually took it with his left hand, after wrapping the handle with a rag lying among the garbage. With a heavy gait, he headed towards his lair.A huge building of the former metallurgical shop, a long-sold machine-tool plant, a loss-making business, a suburban area. It looks like an abandoned gray building with huge workshops and a bunch of rooms, spacious basements, communications are connected and functioning, it would never occur to anyone that there was a werewolf den. Alud, with the last of his strength, reached the territory of the plant, let out a summoning howl and lost consciousness.He woke up already in the lair, on a soft bed, neatly applied clean bandages covered the wounds. In unconsciousness, he took the form o
