The darkness of ignorance breeds fears...

    The school did not inspire the most friendly appearance: sharp black towers and spiers went under the very clouds. One tower stood out like a giant match, towering over the world, no doubt holding something secret. The students were not allowed there, saying that the tower was very old and could collapse at any moment. But they really wanted to be there! Was it from the fact that a light was often seen in it, or from the fact that bats hovered around it in flocks? An unknown force irresistibly attracted them there ...

     Although my memories were not available to me, this only concerned what was inextricably linked to my past. As for the school, she knew and remembered all the classrooms. “Well, thanks for that, at least!”

   The morning began unexpectedly - everyone was awakened by bird cries. However, I have nightmares.

   I apologize that I did not have the opportunity to tell you more specifically about the room itself: two people lived in each room. For example, my companion was the Moon.

     This sixteen-year-old blue-haired girl said at first glance that she was different. Psychedelic music; constant pieces of paper, stuffed between notebooks and books - she wrote poetry; "strange" manner of speech, catching every phrase she did not understand, as if the girl wanted to be aware of everything.

    An amazing coincidence - she and our class teacher had the same last name. But different facial features, as well as their unanimous arguments, proved that they were namesakes.

    Each room was arranged in its own way and corresponded to the inner nature of the tenant. There we spent most of our time chatting and doing our homework.

They rarely returned home - only during the holidays.

    Time passed slowly. There was a measured quiet life. However, even in the midst of silence, the wind of surprise blows...

      The lessons have already ended. But we argued endlessly, for strange rumors crawled around the school.

-…have you seen?! Len shouted happily. “Sonny Clyrend!” She flew!

   For those who don't know: this is our gymnast.

- Well, of course they saw it - and I, and Karme, and Vega, - but what can I say - that's it! Anfissa responded, “It happened in front of the whole class!

- Can you talk about anything other than Sonny? - Vega was indignant, - All ears are already buzzing!

- But this is such an event! Just imagine! - He did not let up, and I agreed.

-Nothing to imagine!

"But you just confirmed what you saw, didn't you?" I intervened. “Why are you denying it now?”

-Because humans can't fly! .. — Becca objected sadly, — No matter how much you want it, Clio, admit that you made a mistake. You overlooked. We also. “And he…he knows how to do everything!” she thought with a barely perceptible smile at the corners of her lips.

- And I'm thinking, how could we all have the same example? - Sasha said thoughtfully, - And why did you get the idea that she was flying? Jumped for the ball and caught it? But can't everyone do this?

-To jump too long and high! Very ... - Anfissa exclaimed, - Something doesn’t fit here!

-And maybe time has stopped because of fear? said Karme, always adhering to scientific views.

   Len glanced frantically at his watch.

-They're coming...

-You're a fool, that's just what they say!

- Wait, - I suddenly exclaimed, - Raise your hands, those who actually saw Sonny's flight?

     In less than a couple of minutes, all hands were raised. As much as Karme and Vega denied what they saw, they also agreed. “So they played for the audience? But why? “- I did not understand.

- Clio thought of something ... - immediately heard the irony from the second.

- One of us needs to find out something from Sonny's life! Gotta watch her! I have to learn Alfagesian... Which of you is free? By the way, I'll go to the library for books, at the same time, find out there.

- I would go with you, provided it was something worthwhile! - exclaimed Karme, - But the day before I had a little fight with Sonny ...

- Then don't you dare! Len and Becca shouted at each other. “Who knows what she's capable of in anger?

     From an excessive excess of hands, my choice fell on me.

    When the lessons were over, I went to the library, spending at least 4 hours on it and, most importantly, for nothing - I was endlessly distracted by the calls of the bored Anfissa. And in this state, I could not learn something! Then I saw through the window how the gymnast went to the east gate; dressing as discreetly as possible, I set off after her.

***

     The director, Omederro Ryan, was no ordinary man. And one of his main abilities was a look into the future. So he knew about everything that would happen in 10, 20...even 100 years. He also knew about me, that I had moved in time and now I am at school. The director warned all the teachers about this, and from what they heard they fell into a panic. How strong and cunning I was! What a strong adversary I represented!

At first, the teachers did not believe Ryan, he often scared them, because who knows what will happen this time? After all, apart from Omederro, no one could look into the future. Why then believe him?

  But the day came and Lamain de Tsyin canceled the lesson. He saw me and horror pierced him to the depths of a ghostly soul! Soon Omederro himself saw me. He hoped that he was mistaken, that I was the same, at the same time realizing that this was not so.

How did you understand? Very simple: a purple spot on the cheek in the form of two stars. It was a sign of initiation into the Order of Wizards.

 All the teachers were immediately gathered. They ran as fast as they could, trying to remain unnoticed, but they couldn't. Through the library window, I saw Clyrende.

     Lamain de Zyin found the very place where my "first" steps lay.

- We could not even imagine - began Omederro - How strong it is!

   Sarro chuckled.

-What did she do?

  The headmaster glanced disapprovingly at the scarlet-eyed man.

-Much!

-For example! he chuckled.

“I would also listen,” Nicollo said, “really, it’s interesting! - played along with the speaker.

She realized that Lan's stupidity was real.

-But only? Such arguments...

-But it's true. This is true. And that's the whole point! "Lan! Idiot! If not for your words! ...“- Omederro thought in parallel, “If she manages to convince everyone around, we will come to an end! Now Kerrow lost her memories - that's all I and Time were capable of! But no one knows how long this oblivion will last!

- We must not let this happen! the biologist shouted, trembling with excitement and breaking into a scream, “We will do everything to prevent this from happening!”

-To expel from school? Sarro thought, trying to contain the emotions that overwhelmed him. In fact, the teacher categorically did not want his words to come true and was a little afraid, so as not to spoil the already flimsy situation with one phrase, but you have to somehow get out?

  It was Sarro who changed Lan's mind, directing him towards friendship with Clio. He knew that Omederro could not escape death. "He must die! Sooner or later, it doesn't matter! For he is very angry, cruel and unfair! “You won’t go openly, but slowly, out of the blue, the teacher did this.

-Great idea, cool! the geographer agreed, winking at his comrade.

We need to kill her! Set up an accident and write it off as “missing!” exclaimed the director.

- She can kill us? This girl? – Embi asked with distrust and fear in her eyes, – You know the future, tell me what is there, what is there, please!

  Omederro was silent, his flushed face was distorted by a grimace, he could not tell the whole truth. I was afraid that then it would come true.

- She... She's not just a girl! Do not say that! His hands were shaking, the inevitable picture of his own death was before his eyes. Omederro hoped that if he kept silent, it would not happen! But is hope capable of such a thing? "Lan! - I couldn't stop thinking, - Why is he doing this? Provoking her! His mistakes can have a very negative impact on us later…But I won’t let that happen!” Don’t let anyone even talk about magic! The students are forbidden to know about her…” he said, raising his voice, “Hmm, we really should expel her!” Sarro! Head to the library and find the deadliest spells!

    The black haired man wanted to resist.

   "I'll put my diary in! Let him look for the owner!“

- The girl must die before something happens! And I don't care how!

Qing! Let her know about the withdrawal! …Then take care of the weapons!

- Yes, sir!

    Ask why not Sarro? The biologist had no opinion of his own and blindly obeyed Omederro, while la Casse was quite the opposite. Omederro could not even imagine to what extent ...

   Another hour passed in fear and doubt. The teachers were exhausted, inventing various ways to "get Clio out of the way." Omederro sat with his head on his knees. Dead silence hung over the clearing. The slanting rays of the setting sun cut through the shadows in an intricate pattern. There was a barely audible noise in the distance.

-Watch out! cried Elrond, and rushed forward. Why he? Is it the most devoted? Not at all. Rather, one who is not afraid of death. In addition, a soldier during his lifetime, who served as a conesser for many years. And most importantly - skillfully playing his role, a rebel.

   A white-maned horse ran out from behind a tree with rapid speed. He jumped, heading towards the director. With every second their collision drew nearer. Tired Omederro dozed, not knowing the breath of death. All the teachers were frozen in fear. Nobody expected such a turn!

  The director woke up. Distraught, he froze, but it was too late! The horse struck with its hoof at Elrond, who rushed to the defense of his "master", and bloody fell to the ground. Rush rushed to the teacher, and Omederro rushed to run.

- We just thought about how to kill her - and on you! Embi shuddered. “This is her doing, isn’t it?”

-Whose ones? ...

-Kerrow nearby! I feel it! Oh, this sweet blood! ... - Sarro whispered and was right as always, - at the moment, his true nature was speaking in him.

  Soon the horse also fell. Elrond escaped with a slight wound - how could one who was already dead be killed?

-This is my rock! That's her! - Omederro repeated endlessly, - Once I escaped, another - I won’t be able to! And my revenge for my brother will remain only the cry of a tormented soul! …

    The first lesson has begun. Mathematics. A small classroom with a large green board and rusty-red curtains. Not a single flower or painting on the windowsill. Only a closet in the corner, large and locked. Looks like the teacher's personal belongings. The utility room was littered with notebooks and textbooks. There was a small square mirror in an old frame, next to which a Cheshire cat was painted right on the wall. They said it was a gift from alumni.- I remember that there used to be a Christmas tree here! Last year. Over my desk, - recalled Becca, - I want it to happen again! Today there was a new topic, but something else worried me: that man in the forest, now I call him that. Len interrupted me endlessly, admiring and asking questions.“…What is this cute talk?” - as always, unexpectedly and cunningly said Elaida Luificlar and called me to the blackboard. This I did not expect and even feared. I doubt it, but after an unexpected appearance in the forest, along with a

    „…your notebook keeps mute secrets in itself, it keeps them in lattices of even cells…“ Then I went to my friends to find out what they wrote. Deep down I knew that no matter how they opposed my ideas, they still supported me. It was visible in the eyes, and it cannot be faked. The weather was deteriorating before our eyes: a cold breeze blew across the floor. As I expected, many took my idea as absurd. However, Karme said that yesterday she saw de Qiying rushing headlong through the East Gate of the school. I felt it necessary to write it down. -Maybe it seems to you? her friend asked softly, "do you think we'll really find something?" “She said:“ Do you think? ”and“ really ... ”, and not“ Are you sure? ”,“ What will it give? ”. And I was very happy about it!- Shall we go to the library? she suggested. „Unbelievable! Why did she change her mind?“ In our world, nature was very respected, so as not to pollute it, they did not use cars at all - transport, for ex

    I woke up from a strange feeling: it seemed as if I was falling somewhere into the void, the hands of the clock were spinning before my eyes, and some terrible and painfully familiar faces flickered in the distance ... Yesterday's dialogue with the biologist seemed like some kind of nonsense. “This is a dream,” I assured myself, “How can this be real? - Combing her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror, - These stars on my cheek ... where did they come from? Before I woke up in the forest, they didn't exist before! What do they mean and how did they appear? I tried deleting it, but it didn't work. It seemed that the signs were forever fused with the skin, as if they personified some kind of sign - a mark. Where did that horse come from? Who is he? I remember everything - my simple, unremarkable, one might even say, gray life - daily attendance at school, quarrels and joys, hopes to meet something that will change this grayness ... - That's it! - I realized, - B

Somewhere in the distance, the blue-haired silhouette of the moon flickered, it was hard not to notice it. - You will not believe it! - I said to Vega, the first one I met on the way, - But the Moon! .. - I involuntarily looked around.

Of course, I didn’t choose the best interlocutor, but how I wanted to share the news with anyone!She's not who we think she is!- And who is she? - the girl replied indifferently, - What difference does it make to me! - she continued, instantly remembering the irony.-I'm afraid we'll have to find out...-Hey!

    There are no random smiles... The lessons had already ended, and the corridors were empty again. "How wonderful!" thought Carme, quietly heading towards the library. Sneaking between the open offices of Hilaren and Luificlar, the girl ran unnoticed down the thin corridor. Oh, how she was afraid to catch their eyes! Her hands were covered with barely noticeable moisture. The headwind lashed my face. In such a flight, freedom was felt with my whole body, I wanted to take off, soar into the sky, under the very clouds, but the routine of life tightly kept the girl in her nets. She was afraid to walk alone, but even more afraid to be alone again, without friends. Some noise was heard in the distance, but, trying not to look like a coward in her own eyes, Karme continued on her way, not turning around and not slowing down. Whatever happened then, she thought, I am stronger than him! Because I'm a man! ”- the girl opened the door - the smell of musty books, caked papers an

    Within each of us lives a Vampire.Only he manages some, and others - him. He looked at his watch - 8.35 AM. “I must return, for if I am late, I might die!” thought Sarro. Black stumps surrounded from all sides. It was almost dawn, and it weighed heavily on the vampire, forcing him to increase his speed. And he was not as young as before ... And now he was looking forward to the approaching flight from the "sweet sun." Black night doves flew by. The vampire grabbed one of them and tied a note to the wing. "I'm leaving Esai. From all wings. Your S." He folded the leaf in four and tied it to the bird's foot. "Fly!" he whispered. A castle appeared in the distance. School. “I have to see Lou! I must tell her to be careful! ... - flashed through his head, - Caution would not hurt me either ... - at that very moment, the first rays of dawn dawned, scattered into a hundred fragments and touched Sarro's wings and scorched their ends with their poisonous heat. And there was an insigni

    Mistakes, secrets and doubts, like ice, sooner or later float on the water... The bright sun shone over the water - one could feel the imminent approach of summer. In the distance, over the expanse of blue waves, some small, barely noticeable black birds flew, flying to the top of a giant tower. “How many bird nests there must be!” I thought more than once, “Or it’s not birds, but what then?” - the more I peered into them, the more I was sure that the presentiment did not fail me again.“Where are you looking?” Becca suddenly asked. I nodded up.- Like bats! - She voiced my secret guesses, - But during the day? And in May?... - for a moment I was silent, probably considering my hypothesis, then, with shining eyes, she again fixed her eyes on me: - How areyou new? - she asked, smiling from ear to ear. However, I personally didn't care. I didn't trust them. As do quite a few. Yes, what to hide? Everyone except girls! So she said. I look - she frowned, but in the next moment she dre

    Lily was out and it was starting to slowly kill me. So what's slow? Terrible and unbearable! Loneliness brought me pain and coldness, and this, as a rule, drives people crazy. As I see it, vampires have also been affected. The evening was coming to an end, and the first stars were already beginning to twinkle in the blue-black sky. My face again began to resemble a white sheet and was terribly tortured. But, despite all these metamorphoses, the realization of their uselessness was the worst thing in the world. I was sitting with my legs crossed on a fluffy blanket, the very one that this mischievous vampire had once thrown at me, who had also disappeared somewhere. “She took him with her, which means he really is dearer to her ... - I understood, squeezing my elbows with force and digging my nails into the thin white skin. Suddenly, something warm touched my back and began to desperately stroke it all the way to the neck. I froze, unable to turn around and look into the face

    The heat of the blizzard is blowingAnd warms the souls of the two of us,Alas, sometimes it's coldLike a beast, cold and invisible. Sarro's joy knew no end! As much blood as he managed to steal yesterday, he had not drunk for a very long time! The vampire was even scared to imagine how much. He was no longer worried about anything: neither the fact that he wanted to arrange a magnificent feast, nor what was happening in the house - nothing. He did not answer Chiurelli's questions, was rude and closed himself again, reveling in the mysterious delight. He heard the screams of Nyashik and Erdeli coming from behind the door - they said that one of them was burned and again needed bloody treatment. “He wants to take away from me everything that I got with such hard and painstaking work! Definitely deserves it! You see, he appeared without a name and a past, such a handsome man, and now he imagines himself in charge? Let this not happen! Never…” - his arrogant inner voice took preced

    He was on the edge and brokeAnd all the pain subsided from the soul,And a new friend in the house appeared,Souls of his revealing the password. The silence of the night was cut by notes of a terribly unpleasant sound. They cut on the ears and drove insane those who, like me, tried to enjoy this silence. At first I did not know what it was, I even tried to guess, but the truth was so simple that it was worth going to her call, she opened without anyone's help. When I slipped out of Lee's bedroom and was already level with the door leading to Erdeli's room, I froze, not really expecting this! “This rascal also knows how to snore! Well, Lily definitely messed something up! You will not find such a vampire in the world anywhere else!” How long I looked at them and listened to this, to be honest, disgusting sound - I don’t know, only a certain feeling that has been tormenting me for more than a day, deprived me of any desire to do something, made me think over every ste

    I wanted to find her so passionatelyAnd he was ready for everything.Didn't see the beautiful world aroundAnd I only thought about love. There is no limit to my joy! Today this prankster slept all night! ... Yes, some vampires can do this, but neither I nor Sarro are one of those, I generally think that such are an order of magnitude lower. How wonderful it was to watch how this Nyashik, as he deigned to call himself, fervently clattered his teeth and muttered something. “Probably, I bit someone in a dream,” I thought, longingly realizing all the frailty of such a life, “How long does it take ... how many things could be done ...” - but even having the opportunity to do it, today I’m so tired , which was nothing at all. He sat, looking at the sleeping people, and quietly looked at the stars shining so brightly outside the window. He was cleaning his feathers, trying to find and feel what Lee was so attracted to and, probably, found - this is warmth. Feeling the movement

So cute in appearance, at first he really was like that. He sat and rubbed against his palm, like a cat, twittering something in an incomprehensible language and meowing as if. But his true nature was not long in coming! If something was not according to his desire, Nyashik spread his little wings, began to run around the room, destroying everything he saw. And then he completely took up vampire affairs: he bared his fangs at every opportunity favorable to him. He did not let up for a minute, forcing him to sit and entertain him, but he did what he liked. So during that night, about three vases, several figurines and the already mentioned plate were broken, the Christmas tree was almost turned over twice and several of its balls were bitten.

    Epilogue of the third part

    -... What is it? Are they reborn? Lily muttered in surprise, sitting across from me. The sea was ahead. Again, just like the first time we met! The azure waves were silvery somewhere in the distance, and the sunset was still smoldering on the horizon. How beautiful it was! - Looks like it does. Otherwise, they would not have played a wedding!-Yes. And so began the second life of our Sarro!- Remember how he generally treated this event. You and Becca...- Yes, since then he has changed a lot! - looking into the expanses of burning waves, I answered.- And the moon could not be reborn, because ...-That was a mistake of nature! Strange as it sounds... She's neither an elf nor a vampire. You know.-Yes… The pink mountains blazed in golden light. The forests rustled with dense juniper foliage. The last cicadas were singing, the air was warm and clean as ever. Everything seemed to bloom, shone and sparkled in anticipation of our meeting! Long hair carpeted the little mound on w
