Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders

Everyone certainly knows the queen of detective stories. And she has the right to be called so. Only Shakespeare has sold more books than she does.

Agatha Christie (own name Agatha Mary Clarissa lady Mallowan) was borned 15. September 1890 in Torquay and she died 12. January 1976 in the United Kingdom. She worked as a volunteer nurse and a pharmacist in Ashfield. Experience gained over the years working with drugs, and often with poisons was used later when she was writing her crime novels. In 1956 she was appointed C.B.E. (Commander of the British Empire) and in 1971 Queen Elizabeth II. awarded her the title of "Lady of the British Empire".

Hercule Poirot and his dear friend captain Arthur Hastings received a wierd anonymous letter signed ABC. The letter predicted that in Andover, something will happen. And indeed it happened. An old newsagent A. Ascher is murdered and on the counter in the shop is opened alphabetic timetable, known by the acronym ABC. Premonitions that came Hercule Poirot to mind are filled. Like the good old days he follows the trail with his friend. However, another letters come with a warning about other murders - this time Betty Barnard on the beach in Bexhill and then the third - Lord Clark Carmichael in Curstonu. Every time the ABC timetable is near. It is clear that the murderer proceed alphabetically. But why? He chooses his victims based solely on their names? It must be resolved. This involve investigations by Scotland Yard.

The ABC Murders was her first book I read. And I didn´t end up with just this one. The way she wrote is incredible.The way the crime was commited, the way the criminal shuffled with evidences, how the inspector solved the case. Everything is just perfect and it must be hard to made up the crime and the solution. And I love her so much...

Please welcome our kitty-cat.

Selim belongs to the more rare species - werecats. They are not extinct, but if you see one of them, you are pretty lucky. Most of their genetic base is mostly catlike, so their behaviour sometime makes difficult to separate them from ordinary cats. Especially kittens. The main difference between them (that can be seen at first glance) is that they wear clothes. They also can talk and walk uprightly. But not everyone is comfortable with it. They have all of cat´s benefits. Good hearing, incredible olfaction, extraordinary eyesight. A lot of people are jealous about their hunting skills.

Because they are still mixed with human race, it can be seen on their anatomy and way of living. They have hands. Pretty long, because of the possibility of running on all four. Also their growth is affected by these two races. They grow up fast as cats, but they get old slowly like humans. It´s not easy to guess their age.

Werecats live in groups and patrol their territory. They don´t like visits or strangers. A lot of people were attacked by them, because they unknowingly crossed their territory. This cats can be hot-headed sometimes :-)

Now to Selim. You had not had the chance to meet him properly, but don´t worry. He is going to have really important role in this story. And because he is still some kind of mystery for you, I won´t tell everything on him ;-p Just that he is still kitten with 2 sisters and 4 brothers. All of them are older then him. He lives in werecat village in Cornwood forest, but most of his life he spends in the woods apart from his family (you can guess why... mwehehehe).

Welp... I guess this is all I can divulge about him to you, but I must admit that he is probably the most difficult character. He has realy complex personality and has some issues, but... who doesn´t. Most of the time he is torn between his cat instincts and rational human thinking and it´s not fun. Anyway if you want to know more about him, just ask. It´s possible that I forgot to explain something and if it won´t spoil anything I would be happy to answer :-D

The Path of Destiny - The Blue Moon Ch 4.

Another chapter... YAY! I hope you enjoyed the previous one and I want to thank you, that you are here with me. It really mean a lot for me :D

This one will be little longer too, but I must make the mood ;-p

———————————————————————————

When she came home Erin was waiting for her with set table. There were mostly some kind of berries and fruits. Eunis sat opposite Erin. During the lunch was awkward silence. She was probably still angry about Karmisha.

´Karmisha. I almost forgot about her.´ Eunis ate as fast as she could, but she did not want to arouse suspicion. She hid some berries into her palms. Erin didn´t notice. When they finished their meal, Eunis thanked her and went to her room. Karmisha was awake but she still in the basket. She started whine friendly and wagging her tail. Eunis knelt down next to her and patted her head.

“I brought you something to eat.” she showed her the berries. Karmisha licked and began to hungrily eat.

“You're pretty hungry, aren´t you?” Eunis smiled. “How is your leg? Doesn´t it hurt?“ she gently stroked bandaged paw. Karmisha hissed in warning.

“Sorry.” she apologized. Then she had an idea.

“Wait a minute. I'll get you something for the pain.” she said, and went to look into Erin's back garden. There grew a variety of herbs. While she was searching between the flower beds and then found what she was looking for. Orange leafs of Malva. It is herb which inhibits pain and also has good taste. Unfortunately it is hard to find it. It´s 7 cm high plant with orange leafs with significant yellow veining and hem. There are just few elves that have this plant. Erin was luckily one of them. Eunis tore out few leafs and returned into her room through the back door. When Karmisha smelled sweet scent of Malva, her eyes brightened.

“I see that you know what it is” she said smiling. She gave her the leafs and sat on the bed. Karmisha started to chew them immediately in order to get the healing juice of them as soon as possible. When she was done Eunis patted her head and went for an appointment. Arian was waiting for her. He was leaning against tree trunk looking at the clouds. Before she could say anything, Arian gave her a worried look.

”How is Karmisha? It still hurts her?”

“Don´t worry. She's okay.” she said. “I gave her something to eat and against occasional pain. Soon she will be just fine.” Arian was greatly relieved.

“That's good. I thank you very much.”

“It was nothing.” she felt that she blushed, so she quickly added: “Where do you wanted to take me?” His eyes lit up.

“It will be a more demanding path, but it will be worth it.” he said with that mischievous smile.

Firstly they went across a large meadow, then along a small stream and then through deep forest. At first they turned to the left, then go straight, then right, left, straight, left, right, and thus still zigzagging through the forest.

“How can you orientate here?” she wondered. “It all looks the same.” Arian shrugged.

“I don´t know. I just do.”

After a long time they finally came out of the forest and in front of them was a high rock. Near them was meandered narrow path leading to a rocky platform.

“There is our goal.” he pointed a finger at it. Eunis stared fearfully at the high point.

“I probably can´t handle this.”

“Why wouldn´t you make it?” Arian asked.

“I'm afraid of heights.” she kept her eyes on the platform, which was at least 50 meters above the ground.

“Just don´t look down and it´ll be fine.” he advised.

“O-ok. I'll try it.”

They went on a path that leads around the perimeter of the rock. They walked slowly. The way was long. Eunis was afraid. Arian went ahead to find out the state of the path. She was nearly in half, when she felt under her feet how part of the path burst and Eunis screaming slid off the path. Fortunately, she grabbed the edge.

“Arian!” she cried. “Help!”

Arian ran as fast as he could. When he saw how Eunis was hanging down, he froze.

“Please help me. I can´t hold much longer.”

Eunis felt that the path under his weight was cracking. In a moment she will fall.

“Give me your hand. I'll pull you up.”

She grabbed the offered hand and let him pull her up. When she again stood on solid ground, she sighed with relief. They stand still for a moment. Then Arian took courage and looked down. Far below them was a pile of rocks, which a moment ago broke away from the path. Eunis grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

“Do not go to the edge. You can fall, too.” she said in a calmer but still trembling voice. “I wouldn´t be able to pull you up. And thanks.”

“It was nothing. Mainly, that nothing happened to you.” his voice was already calm and confident, but his eyes still show horror they had just seen.

“Do you dare for the rest of the way, or we go back?” he asked cautiously. Eunis studied the remaining about 20 meters in front of her.

“It's just a bit. I'll stick to the wall, and hopefully it will be okay.” Arian smiled. “But you can´t leave me.” she said seriously. Arian put his right hand over his heart.

“I promise I'll still be by your side.” and bowed.

“Alright.” She nodded and they carefully continued at their path. They were stick to the wall and walked lightly. The path seemed endless. After a long time they reached the rocky platform. Eunis looked around. It offered her an incredible view. She saw from the Dralin mountains to the Coast of Naravan´s Sea. Because of twilight the sky had a pinkish color and alpenglow floated on it. It was beautiful. Half of the island was at your fingertips.

“It is amazing here. How did you…” but when she turned around, she didn´t see him. Instead of him, she glimpsed huge enter to big cave.

“Arian, are you in there?” He didn´t respond. She slowly approached the entrance to the cave. Suddenly she heard slow, muffled footsteps.

“Arian?” she asked, even though she had feeling that it´s not him. To the steps was added heavy breathing. Eunis backed away. She didn´t know who or what it is, nor where Arian is. The creature slowly approached. From the darkness of the cave emerged a huge paw with sharp claws. Eunis had to cover her mouth with her hand to avoid screaming. Subsequently began to take shape of monster's head. Huge snout high above the ground, wide mouth full of sharp teeth, small eyes and pointed ears. He growled angrily and got closer to Eunis, who was still backing away. She tripped over a rock and fell. She was so terrified that she could not stand up again. She sat on the ground and watched the animal, which was taking shape in the light of the setting sun. It stopped just before her. It studied Eunis paralyzed with fear. The animal opened its mouth and stuck out his long, thin tongue. Eunis terrified stared directly into its mouth, but she couldn´t move. She watched its huge mouth with long, sharp teeth approaching her. She closed her eyes. However, instead of fangs on her face she felt wet and sticky tongue. She opened her eyes and wiped her wet face. The animal looked at her once more closely at and lay down. Eunis didn´t understand what was happening. She was still sitting on the ground and bewildered watching the creature. Then Arian came out from behind. He looked at frightened Eunis and began to laugh loudly. Eunis looked at him in disbelief. Then she returned her attention to the huge animal. Arian wiped his teary eyes and helped Eunis up.

“You should see your face.”

“What do you mean?” she asked, but she didn´t leave her sight of the animal. Arian scratched animal behind the ears and it wagged its tail happily. Eunis already occurred, what Arian thought.

“You miserable bastard!” she scolded. “You did it on purpose. You will see. Wait till you get in my hands!” Eunis clenched her fist and strutted resolutely to Arian. The animal was faster. It conceal Arian with its head, he bared his teeth and growled. Eunis backed away with fright.

“Calm down, big boy. We were just playing.” he soothed it.

“But I meant it.” she muttered to herself. When the animal stopped growling, Arian pointed to Eunis.

“Well, this is Eunis. My friend so be nice to her.” Then he looked at the Eunis.

“And this is Tarlok.”

“Also your friend?” she asked indignantly.

“Yes, he's my friend. And don´t be mad anymore.” he pleaded. “It was just fun.”

“It wasn´t SUCH fun to me.” she said angrily. “He scared me to death!” she pointed to Tarlok.

“Firstly, I almost fell off the rock and then this. That I'd rather didn´t stay at home.” she turned offended.

“Sorry then. I just wanted to introduce you. I didn´t know you would be so scared of him.”

“Sure.” she said. “Who could be frightened by two meters tall monster with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth. After all, he is actually quite cute if it will not eat you.” she added sarcastically.

“Come on.” he pleaded. “Just look at him.” he hugged Tarlok around the neck. Tarlok tried to look sadly at her, but with those tiny, matt white eyes he wasn´t successful. Small ears were coiled backwards. Big black snout was slowly inhaling the warm air. Long teeth were gleaming ominously. Lower canine teeth were even so large that they overgrow the upper jaw. He looked scary indeed. Huge front paws with four fingers terminated by sharp slightly curved claws were folded under his head. His body was massive and long. His dense brown-gray fur looked rough. Eunis gathered her courage and put her hand to his side. She was surprised. His fur was in fact very soft. Almost like sheep wool. From the forehead over the back until the middle of the tail he dragged a narrow dark stripe. On the sides dragged other smaller strips from the strip. Arian looked at Eunis quizzically. She scratched Tarlok behind the ears. He began wagging his tail happily. She smiled.

“I have to admit, he's really nice.” Arian grinned triumphantly.

“See, I told you he is cool. Although it looks dangerous, but at heart he's good.” Suddenly from somewhere from below came muffled screams. Eunis and Arian winced. Tarlok startled stood up. From the forest beneath them took off a bevy of frightened birds.

“What - what was that?” Eunis asked.

“I don´t know.” Arian said. Tarlok moved his ears in an attempt to capture more sounds. He started slowly backing away to the cave. Arian looked worried.

“Whether it is whatever, it scared even Tarlok and that's not good. He is not easy to scare.”

“Oh no.” Eunis gasped in horror.

“What?”

Eunis pointed to where another bevy took off.

“There ... is ... our village.”
