And you are brave, said Plato.
You needed my help, Elsa answered.
Look at yourself in the mirror, there you will see your frightened reflection, Plato smiled.
I was really scared, said Elsa.
When I first encountered this, I was also so pale, said Plato.
Three days ago, I and my friends went on a nature trip to the river and one guy already surprised us with his visit, said Elsa.
Who was that? asked Plato.
One of the vampires, he told us a terrible story, about some man in a black tailcoat and a cane in his hand, said Elsa.
Who kidnaps a young maiden? asked Plato.
Yes, how do you know? Elsa asked him.
So it was Darkness, he just decided to frolic with you like children, Plato answered.
How did you meet him? Elsa asked.
This is an old story and has been going on for two thousand years. Then my ancestors fought with him and won. Having shackled him in steel chains and sealed him in a steel coffin, they took him to Egypt and hid him in the tomb of the pharaoh from prying eyes. For a thousand years he was in the tomb and everyone had already forgotten about him, only terrible legends went from one village to another.
But just recently it appeared again in our area and I dont know where it came from.
And now there are one hundred vampires in his army, but with every bite of a person their number increases, Plato told his story.
How to destroy it now? Elsa asked.
I dont know, vampires can be killed with silver bullets or arrows, an aspen stake driven into the heart and holy water, answered Plato.
Ive already tried the darkness of my water, Elsa smiled.
Seriously, where did you get it? asked Plato.
When the vampire tried to bite my friend, I remembered that I had holy water in my bag, so I took it and poured it on his chest, said Elsa.
You will make a good student in exterminating vampires, said Plato.
But we cant resist the vampires together, said Elsa.
It wont be easy, do you have friends who would like to join our ranks in the fight against this evil spirit? asked Plato.
Yes, but I need to talk to them and its better here at your home, said Elsa.
Call and let them come, said Plato.
Elsa called Lera and Zhenya and told them to immediately come to this address for a serious conversation.
Do you think they will agree? asked Plato.
I hope for their common understanding of the current situation, Elsa answered.
For now, Ill take out my weapon with which we have to fight and show it to your friends, I hope it will inspire them, said Plato.
Will you teach me how to shoot? Elsa asked.
Tomorrow we will begin training, Plato answered.
I agree, said Elsa.
Its even better for you to move into this house for a while, for your safety, said Plato.
Arent you going to pester? Elsa asked.
Theres no time for that now, especially since youre not my type, Plato answered.
And I dont pretend to be the most beautiful girl on the planet. Thank you for the truth, now Ill know that you cant come closer to me than three meters, otherwise you might faint from fear, Elsa thought.
Lera and Zhenya soon arrived to meet Plato and Elsa and she went out to meet them.
What is the urgency? Lera asked.
Now youll find out everything, come into the house, said Elsa.
Zhenya greeted Plato and said in surprise:
So this is the guy who got under our wheels.
Thats right, and he is now my friend, I hope he will become yours too, said Elsa.
As a friend? Zhenya asked.
So guys, lets take it in order, remember what happened to us on the river? Elsa asked.
That guy or something, said Zhenya.
This man is the main vampire, said Elsa.
What do we care? Lera asked.
We need to help Plato exterminate vampires, said Elsa.
Guys, here on the table lies a weapon with which we can resist evil spirits, but for this I need your consent to become one team, Plato explained.
Now this may seem a little strange from the outside, but we are all in danger from vampires. And if we dont start exterminating them, they will take care of us and believe me, in a month, the whole world will turn into one nightmare called the Kingdom of Darkness, Plato painted a not happy picture.
I am a man whose ancestors fought with vampires for many centuries and won, but some bastard released him into the wild and now he has become even stronger, Plato added.
But we dont know anything about them and we dont know how to shoot with these weapons, said Zhenya.
Ill teach you, first you all need to move in with me for a while so that we can be together, and tomorrow well start training, Plato answered.
Well, do you agree? Elsa asked her friends.
I agree, I want to take revenge on them for Max, Lera answered.
And I want to overcome my fear on the same team with you, said Zhenya.
Well, thats great, now we need to go to your house and pick up the necessary things, Plato said and went to open the garage.
Zhenya walked up to the garage and saw the car and said:
Not a sour car.
If you kill all the vampires, Ill buy you the same one, Plato laughed.
Plato had a red AUDI car, in good condition.
I rarely drive it, so it sits in the garage, collecting dust, said Plato and put the guys in his car.
Chapter No. 5
It was already dark and raining, the first address was Zhenyas apartment. He quickly packed his things and everyone went to Elsa. Elsa said that she would rise alone and went to get her things. Approaching the door, she found that it was open, quietly entering the apartment, Elsa first went into the kitchen no one was there, then she went into the living room, which was also clean. Having opened the door to the bedroom, she felt that there was someone behind the door, that is, having pulled out holy water, Elsa, opening the lid, entered the bedroom and saw a man in the corner, without being confused, she threw a jar of water at him. He screamed and burned, the second attacked her from behind and tried to throw her to the floor, but then Plato came running in response to the scream and fired with a pistol, the vampire fell and only a skeleton was left of him.
I warned you to go everywhere together, said Plato.
Thank you, said Elsa.
Get ready, its time for us to leave, said Plato and began to help put things into the bag.
When they went outside, Platon saw a suspicious car not far from the entrance and two guys sitting in it.
Just dont turn around, theyre watching us, let them think that we didnt notice them, said Plato, escorting Elsa to the car.
They drove up to Leras house and a suspicious car followed them all the way and stopped not far from Leras yard.
Do you have another exit from the yard so that I cant be seen from this side? Plato asked Lera.
Yes, Lera asked.
After you bring everyone into the house, I need you to lead me to another exit, Ill go out for a minute and return the same way, Plato answered.
Lera took Plato out and he, going around other houses, ended up behind the car in which the vampires were.
Hello guys, Plato said and shot at them, two black crows flew out of the car and disappeared.
Plato had a large house, three rooms, in one he put me and Lera, in the second Zhenya, and he himself settled in the smallest one.
You probably still cant come to your senses after Maxs death? Elsa asked Leroux when they lay down to rest.
I loved him, Lera answered.
Nothing, we will definitely avenge him, Elsa promised her.
Forgive me for the fact that I didnt believe you while on vacation, Lera said.
Everything is in the past, now we need to be brave to resist evil, said Elsa.
Good night Elsa, said Lera.
Good night, Elsa said and immediately fell asleep.
The guys began to learn to shoot every morning, Plato made them special arrows for the crossbow, and loaded the pistol with ordinary cartridges.
The target was a scarecrow at which they were aiming. They were interested in learning new things, and after training in the evening, he gathered them in the kitchen:
