After Leva returned to the Burevestnik camp with the others, everyone was very tired. The long road and then the escape from the dogs made themselves felt. After lunch, everyone went to bed. Leva lay on a mattress spread out on the floor for a long time, but in the end he could not sleep. So he got up and dressed quickly.

A lot of questions were spinning in his head, and the main one was who this stratum was. Leva refused to believe that it was Valera. Logunov was not capable of such a thing. In the forest he quickly set up several traps and sat down by a tree, leaning his back against the powerful bark. Silence... only occasionally could I hear the sound of the coastal river, the rustle of leaves and the quiet breathing of Leva. The atmosphere was so peaceful that Khlopov did not notice how his eyes smoothly closed, his consciousness clouded and smoothly the guy began to fall asleep.

On the other hand, you are a stratilate who has been starving for a long time. You are determined that you will never give free rein to your instincts. But when you saw a lonely guy, your eyes turned bloodshot by themselves, and there was only one thought in your head - to pounce. You slowly, as if in oblivion, approached him, but suddenly a net with silver bars fell on you, causing you to whine and growl from burning all over your body. At that moment, Leva jumped up and immediately pointed a crossbow at you. Instead of a strong vampire, he saw you, and you immediately smelled bad blood and tried to crawl back. Leva's hand trembled. He lowered the crossbow, trying to get closer to you, to which you immediately crawled away, despite all the pain.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Don't be afraid." Khlopov said, handing you some kind of amulet that looks like a child's toy. Involuntarily, you immediately grabbed this object, clutching it in your hand. The feeling of pain from the bad blood has passed, but the burning sensation from the silver remains, so Leva took off the net from you.
