[Idelisa]

Mara came down a long long street. Maybe the longest in the town. And too many people. Thought she while blinking. The sun was still in the air above her and this drove vampress mad. 'Oh well. I will survive,- muttered she, smiling. These were the words of one song her dad used to like... But he's dead now. Forget it...
Suddenly Mara exclaimed happily. Really, as happily as she could, for she had seen a building she'd been looking for ages. The central library.
Well, it is not as big as I've expected. Smaller than that in Tokyo, or in London... Oh, Mara, don't you waste your time thinking - just go!
And in she came. Through a long corridor to the main hall. There, by the door stood a young lady looking at vampress.
'What?- asked she, narrowing her eyes.
The librarian seemed confused.
'May I have your ID card?'
'Sorry, no,- Mara smiled and looked into her eyes. They were big and grey, grey as dust. 'Forget,- murmured she, and lady's eyes suddenly beclouded. 'Thanks,- Mara smiled again and went past her.
The main hall was huge. Well, it seemed even bigger than the building itself. Magic, I bet. And it was empty. No. Mara looked around and saw the girl she had seen before. She looked interesting only in books, so Mara passed and saw a little room. She checked it - it was not locked. Great. Vampress immediately came in and closed the door behind herself.
'Now,- whispered she. 'Oh, I have been soo clever having taken my damned flute..' She took it out of her bag and smiled looking at it. 'No, not damned. The very best flute in all over the world...'
Mara remembered the eyes of that man she'd seen striking the cat. They were small and brown, and stupid. 'Very well, mild melody.'
Vampress started playing. The music grew milder and milder, then ceased. Mara knew she and that man were the only ones who could hear it. It was magic too, a wonderful thing.
The door opened and disturbed her thoughts. In rushed the man, and stumbled he, looking at her face. Mara closed her eyes. It was so near... Blood. And she was thirsty.
Leaving the corpse of the cruel man behind herself, vampress came to the main hall again. Her head seemed heavy, but she felt she could fly right now, even without her cape. No, I must not. I haven't founded...
The world began swirling around her. A sharp pain born in a place where her heart should have been and went further.
'Oh,- muttered she. 'My head...'
Somehow Mara managed to reach a chair and stumbled on it.
