The Peacock 1402

"Are you sure." "It couldn't be anyone else. She paid us a courtesy call just three weeks ago. I was out having coffee with a couple of friends, but I felt a strange and powerful compulsion to go home. They were seated in the living room, the three of them and they had been quarrelling very loudly. When I came in I could hear Stella's voice shouting at Sven, "I know what you are, they know what you are, you know what your are. And it simply is not going to happen. And if you try anything this time, Sven, you know the consequences. I was standing by the door when she strode past me on her way out She stopped, and held me in her gaze for a few seconds, then said to me, Get out of here while you can. look for Carl in Canada. he will be with your brother-in-law. They will help you. Get out of here as soon as possible, and don't tell them you' re going. Do this for your own safety. Then she left. "Carl also knows this Lindstrom. He told me yesterday that he and Stella are of the same kind, but that Stella is stronger, and unlike Sven, has not given herself to evil." "that all makes sense", says Erik. "would you like to Skype with me tonight?" "That would be great." "I need to get driving for a while. Phone me if you want to talk some more, but give me an hour or so so I can be off the road and out of the car." "I'm feeling pretty tired right now, so I am going to go back to sleep. They just brought me my breakfast." "Talk later." "Bye.
