Unknown Person: “I’ve never heard and seen anything like this. Where did you get it?”
Victoria: “I bought demonology book from an old woman… the book is very ancient.”
Unknown person: “Hm, that’s interesting… Do you wanna have a deal? You scan your book and I scan that one you’ve asked for. Barter. Deal?”
Victoria smiled. Of course, she agreed. She needed any information about demons… about their King.
Unknown Person: “There’s a beautiful text in your spell. When and where will we meet?”
Victoria bit her lip. Right now, whenever else!
Victoria: “Your ideas?”
Victoria was scanning the book and waiting for the envelope to appear like manna from heaven. The stranger asked her to meet at 8 pm at Okhotny Ryad metro station. Victoria had less than three hours before meeting to finish scanning the book and get the destination point.
The book was very thick and every minute later the girl was getting more nervous to be late. She tried to do every movement maximum quickly to save time. She needed no necessary moves. She needed speed. She had to have time and get scan of the manuscripts.
Time pressed when Victoria finished scanning the last page. She put on a jacket, grasped her knapsack, USB flash drive and rushed to the underground.
June did its part. The underground wasn’t too much crowded: many people were on their vacations, students were at home studying examination cards. Victoria forgot completely about her exams and diploma. So, it happens like that when love and passion appear all the other feelings and deeds have to be got out of head.
The stranger said that he would be waiting for her in the middle of the Okhotny Ryad metro station. He would be wearing a white shirt, jeans, cap and gymshoes.
Without too much struggle she recognized the young man among the crowd. He was staying, leaning back on the rail, pulled his cap over his eyes. There was a closed right-angled box in his hand.
‘Hi’ she came up to him.
She didn’t feel any hesitation as she just needed the information.
‘Hi,’ he answered and lifted his eyes.
His eyes were of very beautiful colour. They were chestnut-coloured but also seemed to be of some wine-red colour. Yes, his eyes were too beautiful, but one couldn’t say the same about his face. He had an eagle nose, curve thin lips and bulged out cheekbones.
‘What’s your name?’ he asked.
His voice was pleasant one could listen to it for a long time.
‘Vic, and yours?’ she gazed into his eyes trying to understand any thoughts.
‘Sergey. Now I know your name. And before I wanted to call you just crazy.’
‘Why?’ Vic smiled.
‘Could a sane person want to call for Lucifer?’
Victoria lowered her eyes, hiding the smile.
‘Have you printed your book?’
‘My printer has run out of colour. I’ve got a USB flash and my laptop to prove that it’s not empty.’
‘Foreseeing that’ the guy mystically smiled, ‘I’ve got my laptop, too. Let’s go to a café to work if you agree?’
‘Sure, let’s go.’
They got to Manezhnaya Square, found a cosy bar and took coffee. There were two laptops on the table. The young man was looking through the files on the flash. With a happy smile Victoria was swarming in the copies.
Even on the scanned pages she could see that the book didn’t belong to the XXI century. With no problem she found the necessary spell how to tie a demon to. The girl got into the ritual.
