** in the 90s in the village it was winter.the forests were all in snow only the paths were barely visible.Polina was getting ready for school as usual,after checking on her grandfather,she left the village house and headed to school.it was still dark and the lights were dim.when suddenly someone grabbed her by the hair and tied her mouth legs and hands dragging her into the forest.Polina screamed in pain, but there was a gag in her mouth and she could only sob and moan softly.The violin case and briefcase fell off her shoulders and arms,and the paw with the pompom fell off her head.She mentally said goodbye to her future,to her friends and classmates,involuntarily imagining how her photo would be the next one on the missing people's board at school after Vova,Senya,Semyon and Katya.She looked up,trying to figure out who and what was dragging her along.She saw only a gray, clawed,shaggy hand on which a black rough fabric was dressed,tears involuntarily rolled from her deep blue eyes from the pain while she was being dragged.When she was dragged into a pitch-black garage There were children in animal masks:Fox,Wolf,Owl and Bear,Hare.When they threw her on the floor,she fell with a soft thud,sobbing.Alice:Our master of the Forest brought us food!The child in the Wolf mask growled-Grr! I'll try first!The child in the bear mask exclaimed in his lower childish voice- Then I'm secondThe child in the owl mask cooed - No,me!Yeah. Alice(Fox)rolled her eyes through her mask- How ignorant you all are,I should be first!The owner of the forest(big goat)loudly stamped his hood and rumbled-Stop arguingThere's enough girl for everyone baa. when are we going to try it?the child in the fox mask asked impatiently"Patience my friends"the Master of the Forest groaned,and they put her in a large meat grinder for cutting up large meat and left,covering the meat grinder with Polina with a white dirty cloth,turning off the light,leaving her for later when they get really hungry*
