The white knight 1

The garden was fresh in the evening. It was getting dark. Lisa looked around in search of jeep, but the car was nowhere in sight. In response to her unspoken question Oleg V. explained:

- If go through the mountains, then after two hours we are at place. You have slept this afternoon, so now you can walk, right?

She shrugged. He's always come up with something! But the mood was peaceful. They said goodbye to the hospitable host and went out. They walked in silence. Walked and walked. It seemed that they have been going for longer than two hours.

- What's time? - She asked.

Sokolsky looked at his watch, then at the sky, and said nothing. Until then, she liked the silence. But not now. Something was wrong, and she said almost angrily:

- Do you have a broken watch?

- Let's go faster.

- I can’t go fast, I'm tired, you drove me today.

- Well, if I was to blame... - he suddenly picked her up, threw behind him, tightly wrapped his arms around her legs and quickly trotted down.

"As a military trophy! " - Lisa thought. Resistance was pointless. All that day - from the morning, when she could not sleep - developed by some strange plan, it was full of events, then sauna, wine, sleep in the garden... she felt strange - her own will as seemed, was dozing or suppressed by other, stronger will.

Meanwhile, it was quite dark. Suddenly Sokolsky stopped in front of some hut, which jumped from the blackness of the southern night.

- This is our replacement parking, for such cases. We’ll have a cup of tea, take some rest...

- And then?

- Then go home, if you’ll be able! - His eyes and teeth gleam in the dark, and Lisa suddenly felt some fear.

- What do you mean by "if you’ll be able"? - "Oh, doesn’t he plan to sacrifice me to some unknown bloodthirsty pagan goddess?" - She thought.

He reminded her of a man possessed by a maniacal idea, and therefore dangerous. The door creaked. She wanted to run away and hide. "Do not go inside, do not go inside!" – the heart begged her.

She stopped in the doorway, but Sokolsky pushed her inside and locked the door. And started to speak:

- You know, Lisa, what soul mates are?
