You needed my help, Elsa answered.

Look at yourself in the mirror, there you will see your frightened reflection, Plato smiled.

I was really scared, said Elsa.

When I first encountered this, I was also so pale, said Plato.

Three days ago, I and my friends went on a nature trip to the river and one guy already surprised us with his visit, said Elsa.

– Who was that? – asked Plato.

One of the vampires, he told us a terrible story, about some man in a black tailcoat and a cane in his hand, said Elsa.

– Who kidnaps a young maiden? – asked Plato.

– Yes, how do you know? – Elsa asked him.

So it was Darkness, he just decided to frolic with you like children, Plato answered.

– How did you meet him? – Elsa asked.

This is an old story and has been going on for two thousand years. Then my ancestors fought with him and won. Having shackled him in steel chains and sealed him in a steel coffin, they took him to Egypt and hid him in the tomb of the pharaoh from prying eyes. For a thousand years he was in the tomb and everyone had already forgotten about him, only terrible legends went from one village to another.

But just recently it appeared again in our area and I don’t know where it came from.

And now there are one hundred vampires in his army, but with every bite of a person their number increases, Plato told his story.

– How to destroy it now? – Elsa asked.

I don’t know, vampires can be killed with silver bullets or arrows, an aspen stake driven into the heart and holy water, answered Plato.

I’ve already tried the darkness of my water,” Elsa smiled.

– Seriously, where did you get it? – asked Plato.

When the vampire tried to bite my friend, I remembered that I had holy water in my bag, so I took it and poured it on his chest, said Elsa.

You will make a good student in exterminating vampires, said Plato.

But we can’t resist the vampires together, said Elsa.

– It won’t be easy, do you have friends who would like to join our ranks in the fight against this evil spirit? – asked Plato.

Yes, but I need to talk to them and it’s better here at your home, said Elsa.

Call and let them come,” said Plato.

Elsa called Lera and Zhenya and told them to immediately come to this address for a serious conversation.

– Do you think they will agree? – asked Plato.

I hope for their common understanding of the current situation, Elsa answered.

For now, I’ll take out my weapon with which we have to fight and show it to your friends, I hope it will inspire them, said Plato.

– Will you teach me how to shoot? – Elsa asked.

Tomorrow we will begin training, Plato answered.

I agree,” said Elsa.

It’s even better for you to move into this house for a while, for your safety, said Plato.

– Aren’t you going to pester? – Elsa asked.

There’s no time for that now, especially since you’re not my type, Plato answered.

And I don’t pretend to be the most beautiful girl on the planet. Thank you for the truth, now I’ll know that you can’t come closer to me than three meters, otherwise you might faint from fear, Elsa thought.

Lera and Zhenya soon arrived to meet Plato and Elsa and she went out to meet them.

– What is the urgency? – Lera asked.

Now you’ll find out everything, come into the house, said Elsa.

Zhenya greeted Plato and said in surprise:

– So this is the guy who got under our wheels.

That’s right, and he is now my friend, I hope he will become yours too, said Elsa.

– As a friend? – Zhenya asked.

– So guys, let’s take it in order, remember what happened to us on the river? – Elsa asked.

That guy or something, said Zhenya.

This man is the main vampire, said Elsa.

– What do we care? – Lera asked.

We need to help Plato exterminate vampires, said Elsa.

– Guys, here on the table lies a weapon with which we can resist evil spirits, but for this I need your consent to become one team,” Plato explained.

– Now this may seem a little strange from the outside, but we are all in danger from vampires. And if we don’t start exterminating them, they will take care of us and believe me, in a month, the whole world will turn into one nightmare called the Kingdom of Darkness,” Plato painted a not happy picture.

I am a man whose ancestors fought with vampires for many centuries and won, but some bastard released him into the wild and now he has become even stronger,” Plato added.
