The girl, driven by curiosity, opens the door painted in bright red, almost scarlet, color. The room is quiet and dark. A few more seconds of oscillations, and she takes a step forward, while trying to find a switch on the wall at the same time. He does not work: the girl is uselessly clicks with smooth plastic pins. The door slamms, although the draft in the room is not felt.
The girl in fright turns back, in a vain desire to get out of the dark room. BUT: The door has no pen. « what to do?»The question hangs in the air with inconceivable severity. Thoughts with a round dance, clinging to each other, rush in the head. Suddenly children’s fears come to life: a dark room, silence, someone who caught her hook of curiosity will now keep her here:
On some other miserable thought flashes a floodlight lamp, pouring the face of a frightened girl with a too bright light, blinding her first few seconds, until the lamp goes down, sliding along a shelter-toe, a short black skirt, a crook and a black shine of slippers-an ordinaryform of lyceum players. The light continues to slide along the floor, leaving somewhere to the side, now and then stumbled upon the nightstands decorated with trinkets:
Unconsciously, the girl takes a step towards the runaway light, not wanting to heart, so that the worst children’s nightmare is returned:
One step, the other, the third – and now she is already at the sofa in the center of the room. The light stopped, inspiring the ghostly shabby hope that nothing would happen next: the girl sat on the sofa, settling more conveniently and felt an injection of curiosity.
– Hello. – the voice was soft, soothing and a little bewitching. He wanted to believe. – You’re so beautiful. What is your name?
“Lexania,” the girl whispered almost silently, already subconsciously trusting the interlocutor – after all, a person cannot wish her evil with such a soft voice. – And you?
– I do not need « Pull ». – the interlocutor grimaced almost significantly. – You can call me just a friend today. Exactly.
“Friend,” the girl said intriguedly, as if trying a familiar word filled with a new meaning. – What do you want?
– Tie your eyes, then you will find out. – suggested invisible. Warning her protest, he continued. – Or I will have to turn off the light. Binding next to you.
The girl hesitantly looked at the pillow near the right elbow. A thin black strip of fabric was reduced to her surprisingly similar to a snake, curled up in a ring and prepared for a throw. Lexani’s hand touched the bandage, fingers clenched into a fist, capturing the tape.
– You are hesitating. – Calmly stated the fact of invisible. – Don’t be afraid, I’m with you.
The girl snorted, nervously thinking that these words can hardly serve as a consolation in this situation. Nevertheless, she tied the long ends of the bandages so that the light stopped penetrating through the gaps between the fabric and the skin. Immediately a warm palm gently touched her cheeks.
– You see, I say that there is nothing wrong with the fact that you do not see.
The palm glided over the skin, leaving fire scars in the thoughts of the girl. The hand shifted: now the invisibility of a sensitive fingers ran along her neck. After a few moments, the fingers sank even lower, exposing the unsuccessful skin of the shoulder. The fingers of the skin touched the fingers of the stranger’s hot dry lips. Lexania shuddered: a light, almost fleeting touch reminded her to touch the wings of the b-piece in a thick tall meadow grass that moves under the breath of the wind.
Fascinated by her thoughts, she almost did not notice how clever fingers pulled the blouse further. Thin, translucent fabric could not stand the onslaught and with a barely audible crack was torn. The girl was scared, but a frustrated voice tried to reassure her.
– Sorry, I didn’t want. If you forgive me, then I will give you a new one. Please. Lexana caught invisible palm and asked.
– Why are you hiding? You have something with your face?
– No, just so interesting. If you want, then I will remove the bandage. After. – the invisibility laughed.
