2020-10-11 18:21:28After she had left the travel agency and had a to-go dinner from her favorite Italian, Lany was standing in front of the door of her apartment, packed with her food and some files that she wanted to look through at home - she never made it quite, to switch off completely - when her cell phone rang somewhere in her handbag. And this damn thing just didn't stop there.
Lany didn’t want to be noticed by her neighbor, Mrs. Snips, so she rummaged around for her key. But when she had just found it and was about to put it in the lock, the door to the neighboring apartment opened and Mrs. Snips glared at her with her hands on her hips.
“You should finally learn to lower your noise level, my dear. After all, this is not one of those newfangled dance halls and you don't live alone in this house! "
Oh man, could the day get any better? Mrs. Snips was around ninety, but when you saw her, most people made the mistake and underestimated her tremendously.
She was neither senile nor deaf, and she had a terrifying amount of hair on her teeth.
When she talked to you, she never had a kind word on her lips. Everything was too much for her and most things or even people were just repugnant to her anyway.
And now she had discovered it, just because of that stupid cell phone. That unfortunately still had not given up and kept ringing.
"Mrs. Snips! I also wish you a good evening. Did you have a nice day? “, Lany asked and knew very well that this would only annoy the old kite. But she didn't care and above all she had no intention of letting her unpopular neighbor spoil her evening.
“Don't get so naughty, Ms. Briscott. At some point it will take revenge again. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. That's why I only recently spoke to our landlord and casually explained to him what a tenant he had brought into our quiet house with you. And imagine if he will actually take care of this matter in the next few days and take a closer look at it, my dear. I said a while ago - cheek cannot win! Good evening!"
With that said, Mrs. Snips slammed her door. Lany was still standing with the key in the lock, staring at the next door in disbelief. What was that just then. Had the old woman finally lost her mind? Lany went into her apartment and in turn closed the apartment door.
No sooner had she put everything out of her hands and reached for her annoying phone when the damn thing fell silent after all. Great! Couldn't you have stopped earlier? Lany looked to see who had just shown that much perseverance. And how could it have been otherwise? It was her MOTHER, of course!
Lauren Briscott had always had the talent to get her daughter into embarrassing or even difficult situations. It doesn't matter if it was at school when she not only wanted to drop her off in front of the school building, but also wanted to bring her to her classroom.
There, of course, she had nothing better to do than stand in the middle of the door to the classroom and ask her, quite casually and quite loudly, whether she would even briefly show her the cute boy Lany had raved about at home. That made her the number one laugh for the rest of the school year, of course, until, thank God, someone else did something even more embarrassing and forgot about it.
Or when her mother called Mr McDermont - Lany had just started her current job - and had to point out to him that her daughter had a delicate soul that had to be treated with care. After all, she came from a small town and did not yet know what life was like in the big and dangerous city. That call alone almost cost her the job. But Lany was able to convince her boss that he shouldn't take her mother seriously.
And there are still countless times that Lany could report on. She could actually write a book about it. She'd put this on her must-do list. And now another embarrassment that seemed to have turned into some difficulty, if she could believe what Mrs. Snips had said.
Lany switched off the cell phone. She didn't want to be disturbed again or even run the risk of accidentally still having her mother on the line.
After Lany had showered and snuggled into her bathrobe, she warmed up the food again and poured the red wine she had longed for. Then she grabbed her book and sat on her couch to finally enjoy the evening.
It wasn't long before she had devoured her meal more than enjoyed it and her glass was filled for the third time when she finally fell asleep on the couch.

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
The Darkness In Him Stalker
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
