WITH BLOOD

– I hope, you will be with us, Jack. I hope. You have made a lot of useful to us before have gone mad. You have allowed us to take root into that epoch widely. Believe to me, Kaleb Uollis remembers good.
– About, of course, they could appear and arrange something. But I doubt, that they would began even to try. Anybody from them does not know a twentieth century life.
Certainly, it was uneasy. They have spent many years in preparation. It has allowed them to adjust relations and among themselves. When I have seen them next time, they already behaved under the relation to each other, as for a long time married happy pair. And nevertheless it was a hard time for both.
Arlo has brought to the Hell in the favourite secluded corner and has lowered near foaming falls. It has begun to enclose to it under a head a moss, but while was engaged in it, the girl has sat down – and so it is live, that he has guessed: any time it already is awake.
– Certainly, in reasonable limits. For example, it is necessary to get rid of pirates. Well will suffice for today. Midday. I need to do some measurements, and then we will have dinner. Consider, that you did not live still, time did not try some my beer.
– That does he want, Hton? – Has asked Arlo, directing attention in that place in the brain where usually there was its friend. But this time has not received the answer.

– Yes, – he has told. – I to you told about Karelo Keadzimu. It has communications worldwide. If he does not know about travellers in time, means, nobody knows. Leonsa, we should risk and go to the future, to Mauri.
The beginning of the thirteenth century which Catholicism named apogee of a civilisation for then the western churchmen have struck blow to east stronghold of Christianity was such. And in one and a half centuries, having devastated Asia Minor, Turks have entered into Europe.
Its place was occupied with the next attack of irritation. Why Hell has not told to it, what is able to speak on-drevnezemljanski? And if it has come to the senses, when it bore it from a den of a dragon why has not let about it know? It quite could move on the tunnel to an attack mixes, and then again oslabla. Or just it seemed.
I sat in the cottage over the book. Senlak, November, 1969. Night was surprisingly clear and is shrill the cold. Frosty patterns have covered glasses at windows.
Slejpnir did not understand words, but now its desire to find the owner accrued, and it has moved from a place. A brain tiny, but a scent excellent. An instant later it took a fresh trace and potrusil on it.
– You have rescued me. And besides has answered my questions, – has told Arlo. – I will remember it. But now I need to hasten.

– We could not release them. Could not and shoot. And also could not hold eternally them in an imprisonment in confidential prison.
It has prepared. Nine-millimetric «Smith and Vesson» hung on a belt, cartridges it has filled jacket pockets.
– Having disguised the traces, how much it was possible, I have gone back to Constantinople.
Anyway, to be afraid to it there is nothing. The zombie has appeared small and, obviously, faulty. Sounds which heard Arlo, were we cry. It is no wonder, that they have seemed to it such strange!
– No, we have simply destroyed in our captives belief in travel in time. By it it has been told, that they had insanity, devil delusion – a word, that corresponded to time. Now all is terminated, they are healthy, but never should dare even to think of it I should return by a normal life.

But Hton has already left it. Arlo stood discouraged and looked around, as if could find out presence of the god personally. What it is reproach? But of what he was guilty?
Arlo gauging. A hell! It remained in a garden one, without any protection, and something big and terrible moved to it. He has felt it that part which is adjusted for a life of caves. To this ability has learnt him Hton.
Probably, it is the zombie. Zombies look as people though them are not – and not only because they naked. Arlo itself dumped clothes constraining it when left the house. The zombie did not have a reason. They moved under instructions Htona and avoided the present people. Arlo never saw the zombie-child, but caves are full of unexpectedness.
Hejvig has started a hand under tuniku and it was scratched. He has stupidly thought: «the Drama has turned to a comedy. I who have lost the wife, the favourite wife, am in a captivity, I expect torture. It is even not allowed to me to be washed up, so at me all body is scratched and from me badly smells».
They could visit Karelo Keadzimu, but it a little than could help them. Besides, it occupied too high position, its life was at all on a kind.

Arlo has lifted to the Hell, again having been surprised what it easy, and has incurred downwards on the river. Its naked feet hanged down from its left shoulder, and the hair soiled with blood – with right. And again he has felt an unusual pain from a remorse.
Aton directed Slejpnira under instructions Arlo, and they quickly rushed to a garden. Even on such quick racer travel has occupied a lot of time – safe road, conducted around. Driving away terrible thought that there expects them, Arlo has started talking to the father, and it happened extremely seldom. Relations at them were not that that bad, but any incomplete. In effect, Arlo badly knew the father.
They have not been prepared for a life in dokolumbovoj. To America also could remain there only very much for a short while. They could be transferred forward in time, buy that is necessary, and to return back. But after that both of them have gained, serene idyll for them was impossible.
– Aton! Navetrennyj wood! – has shouted Arlo, pulling Slejpnira for a tail. A hell dies, and it should potter with this feeble-minded animal!
