Quickly reaching the clearing where the witch house was located, Vika hid on the edge of the forest behind the trees. It is impossible to go ahead - this is certain death! We must wait for time. The witch finds out that Vika has escaped, and, most likely, will try to find her. If the house remains without owners, the girl will be able to get inside and find Kostik.

So Vika thought, trying to focus only on thoughts about saving a person, and not about the troubles that had already happened to her. So that gray strands are not reminiscent of what happened and did not knock off thoughts, the girl quickly braided her hair, without being distracted from viewing the area.

As she had supposed, shouts, real cries of a mad woman, soon came from the house. Soon the witch, like a fury, jumped out of the house. Stefan tried to hold her, grabbing her hands, and a couple of times he did it for a while. The woman shouted something in his face and burst out again. Here she is - the witch, which goes the years of Victoria's life. She looks not so old as the girl saw her in the forest. Dark hair, with gray, loose on the shoulders. Probably, they are with her now from about the same age.

The girl shuddered at some nasty, sticky feeling. And anger, cold and fierce, swept over her. This is not a rival, no! Nasty bitch! Thief, a witch. Vika will not surrender without a fight. Only one of the women must stay alive!

Adele rushed into the forest. In the direction to which Stefan led her. Vika looked at them from the opposite side.

Stefan waved his hand, no longer holding his wife, and followed her. Vika looked him in the back. He suddenly turned around, as if sensing her gaze. He looked around the forest and kept his eyes on the place where Vic was sitting. Although she should not have been visible from the thick scrub, she nevertheless frightenedly pulled away from the place of her viewing, as if feeling the heavy look of the sorcerer on herself. But curiosity and thirst for life again pulled her to find out if Stefan saw her.

The man looked for a long time at the place where she was sitting, suddenly shook his head, frowning in disapproval. Vicki's heart paused, she held her breath. Now he will go to her. And all is lost!

But he turned around and went further after his wife, in the opposite direction from Vika.

Phew! The girl took a breath, banishing fear. There is no time to lose. They will soon realize that Vika has not reached the village, and will return to look for her. She needs to have time to find Kostik.

Carefully looking around and making sure that the magicians had disappeared from view, Vika ran to the house, carefully, dashes. The house was open. The sorcerers left in a hurry. And why in the deep forest to close? Is that from wild animals.

The door to the basement was also open. A little devil jumped out of the box - Stefan released, finally his wife from the basement, having fallen in love with another woman on the marital bed.

Vika walked purposefully into the cell in the basement. There was no place to hide a man in this house anymore. With each step closer the heart beat faster and faster, more impatiently.

And here is the room enclosed by the cage. Vika did not immediately understand that there was someone there. Someone lay on a thin mat almost without moving, in a shapeless mass. Due to poor lighting, the girl did not see her face. Only guessed that this is a man. And this is none other than Kostik.

The girl groped for the door, she was locked onto a padlock.

“Kostya,” she called softly, but there was no answer. - Kostik, it's me, Vika! - louder.

The body slightly moved.

- Vika? - barely audible male voice. - It can not be ... - he spoke, as if drunk or delirious. - Vick left me ...

Vika gasped, not believing in her happiness that she finally found someone she was looking for. Tears came to his throat

- Kostik, darling, it's me. I found you...

The man turned around. And suddenly he clung to the cage. It was not a young man of thirty years. A man of old age, gray and wrinkled, was looking at her, but in his features one could still recognize that Kostya whom she knew. She gasped, involuntarily shrinking away, but then reached out and touched the man’s face with a palm.

- Hi dear! - she smiled at him. - I came for you.

- Wii-kaa ... It's you! - he also considered her facial features in the darkness. His eyes were becoming more meaningful.

- Yes, yes, I found you ...

“So this is you ... upstairs,” understanding flashed in his eyes. - The sorcerer has seduced you ...

“Nothing, everything will be fine,” Vika stroked his arm and looked with her eyes to open the lock.

“Eh, what fools we are with you, Vikus,” Kostik replied sadly, and sat down on the floor, hands down. - We do not escape!

There was a lot of truth in his words, but he didn’t want to believe it. You can still fix it - Vika believed.

- Now I will find, than to open the lock.

The girl looked around and went to the bedside table beside the bed on which the lamp stood. She opened the drawers, but found nothing standing there. The bed beside was straightened. Here, apparently, lay Adele, waiting for someone else's years, and moaned from jealousy, hearing the sounds of sex from above. Bitch calculating!

Anger swept Vika, I wanted to annoy the offender somehow. She pulled the pillow and blanket off the bed and wanted to grab the sheets, but she was attracted by some object lying under the pillow. It was a small case. The girl took it in her hands and opened it. There was a dagger with a carved handle. Vick frowned - she recognized him. He was painted in the very witch book. This is a ritual dagger that was meant to kill Vika and Kostik. Adele kept him under her pillow, cherishing hope, finally, to use it.

The girl smiled frowningly, clutching a heavy dagger handle in her hand. Now she has a weapon. And she will definitely use it, if necessary, to save their lives.

Vika looked around. And near the boxes with the products found a cast iron. It must be heavy, you can try to knock down a padlock. The girl thrust her dagger into her belt and rushed to the find. The iron pot really turned out to be heavy.

- Kostik, get away from the door ...

She struck hard on the castle. More and more. Such a ringing from cast iron on metal, Vika seemed to be heard anywhere in the forest. The castle did not want to give in, but still the bow could not stand. Kostik opened the door and hugged Vika tightly.

“Vikaaa,” he breathed the scent of her hair with pleasure. - I can not believe you're there. You came for me ...

- Yes, yes ... Sorry it's so late! I have screwed up so much ... - she with pleasure pressed herself to her native person.

- I, too, Vickus, I, too ...

- We need to get out. Go here!

They headed for the exit, carefully, listening. Upstairs, they heard voices from the street. Vika frightened looked out the window. It was too late to run - sorcerers approached the house.

Kostya understood from the frightened glance of Vika that they could not escape. We must try to take by surprise. And fight for life.

He put a finger to his lips and showed a sign that she went to the door and stood behind it. Vick pulled out a dagger and squeezed it stronger in his hand. She is ready to fight!

The first to enter the house was Stephen. And he was immediately knocked down in the face. But, having fallen, the sorcerer quickly came to his senses and cut off Kostiku.

The men fought in the hallway when Adele stormed into the house. Her eyes burned with green sinister fire. Vika put forward a dagger with the intention to defend herself, but suddenly the witch made hands with her hands - and with a gust of unusual strength the girl was knocked down. Vika flew into the room and hit her back on the back of the chair near the fireplace. She caught her breath. The dagger from the blow fell from her palm. The sorceress burst out laughing, her head thrown back, going up to the lying girl.

- You, girl, decided to fight with me ?! Little bitch ... - Adele bent over barely catching breath Vika, fingers squeezed her neck.She looked at her with wicked irony and pity. - What, how do you lose the beauty and youth? I do not like?! - her mad look penetrated the soul. - This is your payment for a random ...
