Curse of the Necromancer

~•☽︎༒︎☾︎•~

      How beautiful! The river is ahead, the full moon is shining, and I stand on the bank and enjoy. My mask opens in the wind and looks very attractive.       Someone came up to me quietly from behind and gently put his hands on my shoulders. I turn sharply in surprise. This is Leonardo. Damn, I seem to be blushing…       “Leo? What are you doing here?” — a little embarrassed and with a blush on the cheeks. Confusion was seen in his gaze and madness began to play sharply. The most real madness, but why? What… him?       “Kill you!” — still looking at me. This is not his voice… Someone is commanding him! The voice, which he said, is very familiar. It gradually becomes scary.       His words made me open my eyes wide, breathe heavily and fearfully stagger back.       “What?! Leo is not you! Don’t, please! Don’t!” — in a trembling voice and fearfully backing away. I’m already not at ease…       “That’s right. It’s not Leonardo…” — Leo said in a voice not his own and looking at me madly. Goose bumps ran through my body. — “This is the one you allegedly killed two years ago.”       “No!” I shake my head. It looks like I’m guessing who it is… But this is not possible. — “No… No! You’re dead! It can’t be! You’re dead!” — breathing heavily, I touch the water in the river with my foot.       I turn around and stare at the water in panic and sharply at Leo.       “No, I’m alive! I survived! And you will die!” — Leo pounced on me and threw me into the water. I try to emerge, but he takes me by the neck, strangles and drowns me.       “I will kill you all and take revenge!” — I hear through the water. He clenched his hands tighter.       I am already choking and hitting him on the hands, but he continues to drown me. I hit his collarbone with a sharp stone, which I pulled from the bottom, and scratched him badly. He let me go and I hastily emerged from the water, inhale as much air as possible.       The water has become cloudy and black, I am in it and my skin is covered with a layer of this blackness. I saw that Leo came to his senses and tried to resist.       “No… no!” — he spoke loudly, in his own voice, shaking his head, clenching his fists and tossing and turning around. — “Yes! You stupid boy! You cannot resist me! I am stronger than you!” — ceasing to resist, Leo spoke again in that voice.       And now it is clear who is in command. He turned his head abruptly towards me and walked towards me with a quick step.       “Leo, stop! That’s not you! Leo! Do not do this!” I shout at him in panic. He looked into my eyes and the scratch on his body began to heal.       I ran ashore and ran away. Water began to run down me. Splashes are flying in all directions and I try to break away, he runs after me, fear seizes me. I looked down at my feet. There are stones under me, and between them is black mud.       Suddenly I see everything sharply from a different angle. I run from him through black mud with stones. The water, which was black, turned out to be blood in general, and everything came back abruptly.       “You won’t run away from me! Don’t even try! I’ll kill you!” — he shouted at me in the trail, one might say, a demonic voice. I turned around while running, a drop of blood dripped from my cheek and I saw that not my Leo was running after me and he had bright red eyes. From what I saw, I ran faster and blood from the water began to flow into my eyes, I can hardly see anything.       He jumped on me from behind and threw whole my body into stones with caustic mud.       “Please don’t! Please! Leo, wake up — it’s not you! Leo, don’t!” — I am covered with a terrible fear with panic. Tears flowed, thereby leaving clean lines on my face after the blood.       He took me by the throat and began to choke me again, his hands slipping because of the dirt and thus he made his grip stronger.       “I won’t leave any of you alive!” — Leo looks at me with red eyes, it is not his madness and his own tears that are dripping on my forehead. My eyes are already closing. I’ll suffocate.       And then again I see everything from the outside. He falls, dividing into himself and the enemy, now above me is the one we killed, and Leo is unconscious in a river of blood that absorbs him, and the enemy strangles me with renewed vigor, looking with his terrible red eyes…” — Ven sat on the bed with wide eyes and inhaling a lot of air, icy sweat trickled down her forehead. She tried to recover from this. She looked at the time, it was 23:05 pm.       “This cannot be… We defeated him. Or maybe he is really alive, but how did he survive after such a fireworks display?!” — thought Venus aloud. — “He could not survive after this! Could not! And if he really survived?” — she was covered with doubts and she got out of bed. — “Then… What will happen? The guys will not be able to resist him! They will break down and will not stand it.” Still breathing heavily, the leader got out of bed.       She hurriedly went to the mirror and leaning on the table, looked at herself, trying to catch her breath. Suddenly she heard a click and turned sharply.       “Who’s here?” Ven looked around the room. — “It seemed…” She turned back to the mirror and saw that there was a shadow in the mirror behind her and was looking at her.       She turned sharply in fright, but there was no one behind. She looked in the mirror again, there was still a shadow and smiled very slyly, stretching her hands to the leader. The blue bandage turned around again, hoping it was just her dream and hallucinations. The shadow was really behind her now. She screamed shrilly…       Everyone jumped out of their beds from such a cry. Absolutely everyone opened the doors wide open and ran out of the rooms, ran to the screams. The cry stopped abruptly.       Orimura and Leo ran to the door at the same time and wanted to open it, but it was locked from the inside. Then Lara ran up and pulled the door handle, discovering that it was closed and began to beat on her.       “Ven! Venus!” — Restraining a cry, beat on the door of Larota. There was no answer. — “Guys kick down the door!” — looked at the others.       Orimura and Leo kicked the door open with a single kick.       They all ran in. The shadow held Venus by the throat in the air and she choked. The shadow was of a strong male build.       “Venus!” — shouted Oliver and Leo, Lara grabbed a lying kunai on the bedside table.       The shadow turned its head towards everyone and threw the leader against the wall. Nobody had time to figure out anything and everything went very quickly. The creature jumped over the balcony partition. Lara, not paying attention to the sore ribs, ran after the shadow to “talk”.       Everyone rushed to Venus, who was coughing and trying to catch her breath, lying on the floor.       “Ven, how are you?” — the first Leo ran up and sat down on his knees next to her.       “Fine”. The girl croaked, holding her throat and coughed again.       “That bastard! I will find and kill!” Oliver sat down with his sister. He was very angry with the one who strangled his sister.       “Who was that?” — asked Donnie and Mikey in one voice, going up to the victim.       Father and mother sat down next to each her.       “Daughter, is everything okay?” — Father looked worriedly, putting his hand on her shoulder.       “Show what he did!” — demanded the mother.       “Yes, dad.” Venus cleared her throat.       The father hugged his daughter and kissed the top of her head, stroked her shoulder. Leo smiled. He was glad she was alive, although he wanted to kick the ass of this goat. Oliver tried to calm his anger and smiled involuntarily. Dariyasa raised the head of her daughter, who was in her father’s arms. As she looked at what the shadow had done, her eyes flashed with fury.       She touched the leader’s neck.       “Ay!” the girl exclaimed, lightly putting her hand to the bruise on her neck. She was almost all blue and had handprints.       “So, I’ll make herbal ointments and rub your neck.” — Mom looked at Venus.       Ven examined everyone in the room. When she looked at Leo, goosebumps ran through her body and it suddenly dawned on her.       “Where’s Lara?” — looked around the room again. The guys looked at each other. — “Just don’t say that she ran after this monster…” — the brown-eyed turtle shook her head.       The guys turned pale and did not know what to answer, because it was so.       “Stop her! This is a trap to lure us out! He will kill her!” — almost in panic, Venus broke into a cry.       Oliver growled like a beast and rushed to save the rebel. He could not afford to have another of his sister beaten or worse.       “I will help him.” — The rebel could not think of anything more original. He ran on his own, keeping up with Oliver, his fists itching, and he did not want to give in to Oliver...
