The flight was very long and Lany regretted a little that she only flew in economy class. But the crew was very friendly and courteous and after a while she also nodded off. In between she was woken up again and again by loud conversations or screaming children, but it always didn't take long before she could fall asleep again.

After a while, she woke up again, but could not go back to sleep. After ordering something to drink, her mind slowly wandered.

At that time at the travel agency, the employee asked her if she would rather confide in a guide on this trip. He would know of someone there who would be an excellent expedition leader. If she wanted to, he would try to contact this man.

Lany had reluctantly agreed at the time. It wasn't really her intention, as unreasonable as it should sound. She wanted to go out on her own and experience her own adventures - not the ones someone had devised for her. So the employee of the travel agency called his local contact and asked about the said expedition leader. But with the best of intentions she couldn't think of the name. But it didn't really matter.

In the end, the travel agent left his number and asked for a call back. But since the callback never came, Lany finally got her way, much to the displeasure of the travel agent.

Many hours later the plane finally landed. But for Lany the trip wasn't over yet. From there she was supposed to fly on to her destination in a small charter plane. But finding this machine was a great adventure in itself.

When she finally found the owner, and thus also the captain of the charter plane, she couldn't really believe her own eyes. It was an older man, around sixty with old washed-out and somewhat ragged things. The hair also made a pretty bad impression, if there was any left.

But the biggest problem was clearly communication. Neither of them could understand the other. Finally Lany showed him her travel documents, in which, among other things, his machine and the travel destination had been noted and apparently they actually got a little further than trying to communicate with hands and feet.

The captain grabbed her luggage and loaded it onto his plane with a swing. Then he gestured for her to get on the plane and showed her how to buckle up. He himself then climbed into the cockpit, started the machine and they took off.

Lany felt a little queasy. On the one hand, because this machine looked anything but intact. On the other hand, because she felt a little strange now - all alone, with a strange man she didn't even understand, somewhere far from home and below her the first foothills of the Brazilian wilderness. Well, if the time goes well!

"No, stop now! Please pull yourself together, Lany Eleonore Margret Briscott! ”Lany scolded herself in her mind. “It will be fine. Everything is fine and I will have the best vacation of my life! The end of it! "

She must have spoken the last words out loud, the captain shouted something that she couldn't understand from his cockpit, but Lany assumed that he asked if everything was okay and so she just said "OK". Hopefully he understood at least that.

Lany must have fallen asleep again in between, because the next time she looked out the window there was nothing but forest below you - countless trees wherever you looked. It looked beautiful. Like a huge green carpet. Here and there some birds were startled by the twin-engine flying monster and flew away.

It was just wonderful. The sun was already going down and so Lany got to see her first sunset in Brazil. She had never seen such an impressive play of colors in her home country or anywhere else. It was as if the sun would take the huge green carpet and cover itself with it and everywhere its warm, golden colors shone over the land and caressed the trees as if it were her children, whom she wishes good night.

Suddenly the machine stuttered and Lany was torn from her thoughts and away from this wonderful sight. The captain scolded something, but as before, she couldn't understand a word of it.

When the machine's stuttering didn't stop, she began to worry. She heard the wheels go out and felt the plane sink lower and lower - right into the trees.

"Oh my god - HELP!" Lany clawed the armrests of her seat with her fingernails and narrowed her eyes tightly. She was terrified and didn't want to see how this rickety machine smeared into the middle of the jungle and she would probably die.

Already these few thoughts caused even more panic in her, which intensified further and further and caused her indescribable nausea.

She sent various prayers to someone who might just had the time and would listen to her when everything around her suddenly came to a standstill ... A black wave came over her with such power, there was nothing left but this blackness, this absolute nothing.

  • The Darkness In Him   Exceptions

    Everything was calm again. Well, insofar as one could speak of calm in a jungle. A couple of monkeys scurried by right next to Warren's house and other animals relaxed more and more. The danger was over - for now.Lany sat very still and listened for the noises that were so completely different and yet somehow familiar. She just didn't know why. Also, she only realized now that she was still clinging to Warren. She hadn't felt so safe with anyone since early childhood. And either Warren was asleep by now or he was enjoying the quiet get-together with her too. She couldn't really imagine the latter, however. Because it was only too obvious that he hadn't wanted to take her with him in the first place. It was only because Rosa had told him, no, even ordered, that she was here now.Lany still couldn't believe what almost happened. Of course it was dangerous in the jungle. She had already realized that when she booked the trip. But then being co

  • The Darkness In Him   Gaze

    While Rosa was finishing her report, one of the two always listened for the noises outside the bar. Not that this stranger secretly overheard her and found out that Rosa knew more than she had told him. But nothing could be heard. He really seemed to have gone to his quarters. Better for him - they decided.It was only early morning when he woke up in that shabby little room, in the shabbier bed. But what do you not endure to achieve your goal? The first rays of sun fell through the dirty window and he decided that he had waited enough. True to the motto: Only the early bird catches the worm, he dressed and went down to the reception. He hoped that there would at least be breakfast here that wouldn't give you one or the other unpleasant bowel disease.When he got downstairs, he was surprised that someone was actually already working here. A young woman stood behind the counter, leafing through a tattered newspaper. He asked for breakfast and

    He headed straight for her. His hunger had not yet been satisfied. But he had to make sure the young woman was okay. He'd already suspected it wasn't a good idea to leave her here all alone. And he really hadn't moved very far. Warren came to a stop right in front of his bed, in front of Lany. She seemed to be in shock because she did not move, but sat upright and still breathed - "Thank gods" -. That was really close. He should have been fucking careful. But this wouldn't have happened in the first place if he hadn't taken her with him. "What a damn crap !!!"Warren didn't even dare touch Lany, let alone speak to her. He just stood motionless in front of her for a while. When she still didn't move, he tried a little push. "Ms. Briscott? ... Lany? Are you all right? ”Hm, somehow he had just experienced it recently. And again she began to move very slowly and finally looked in his direction."Warren? Warren, what just happened? Lany's v

  • The Darkness In Him   The danger

    There was no sound as the huge big cat moved smoothly through the underbrush. Everyone in her immediate area knew she was hunting. All of their potential victims had retired to their hiding places so as not to end up as their snack.Quietly and very skillfully, four huge black paws made their way through the forest. In between the panther stopped and listened. It was a magnificent animal. Bigger and stronger than its other kind and as black as the blackest night. Anyone who caught such an animal among all the poachers would have cared for for his life. But until now no one had ever caught him. The big cat didn't miss the slightest sound. High above him he heard the monkeys scurrying softly through the branches. Shortly before him, a little mouse ran quickly into its cave. And again and again a very special scent rose in his nose, but he seemed to feel that he was not allowed to follow it. Therefore, he moved purposefully in the opposite direction.

  • The Darkness In Him   Tired

    Lany was getting more and more tired. She stumbled the whole time and fell every few meters over the numerous roots that so "helpful" stretched out of the ground towards her. She didn't even know how long they had been wandering through this forest and still they hadn't reached Warren's camp. Maybe he was lost? After all, she couldn't put one foot in front of the others and just turned over from exhaustion.“Oh man, I was just missing that. Such a crap. Why couldn't I just leave her with Rosa. Then this guy would have found her! So what? What is it to me? In any case, I would have finally had my peace. But no, I had to play the great hero. I really had to take her with me, and now? ”While Warren shouldered the exhausted Lany, he mumbled to himself and didn’t let any good hair on himself. It annoyed him too much and he just couldn't understand what had made him want to help this woman and finally take her with him.She was s

  • The Darkness In Him   His arms

    Finally Lany looked in the direction of the door and saw that Rosa had just entered the hallway and bolted the door. She came up to them both and looked worriedly at Lany. Then Rosa turned her gaze to Warren alone for a moment and then, without saying a word, moved to the other, locked door to open it. After entering the small room herself, she waved to Warren and Lany and pointed to another door in that room. Warren gave her a briefly startled expression, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Maybe Lany was just wrong about that. Rosa whispered something to Warren before letting them both outside through the door just shown.They seemed to be at the back of the building now and it seemed that Warren knew exactly what to do. Lany followed without resisting. They were moving fast so Lany could barely keep up with him. And since it was already dark, Warren was careful to keep them in the shadows. Nobody should discover them, nobody should even suspect that they had jus
