Tosba\u011fa modeli, k\u00fcl\u00fcst\u00fcr, eski bir Volkswagen olan Mavi Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019dan \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131m ve yaz ortas\u0131 g\u00fcne\u015finin alt\u0131nda g\u00f6zlerimi k\u0131st\u0131m. Meadow G\u00f6l\u00fc Park\u0131, Chicago D\u00f6ng\u00fcs\u00fc\u2019n\u00fcn[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span> biraz g\u00fcneyinde ve Michigan G\u00f6l\u00fc\u2019n\u00fcn k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131ndan uzun bir ko\u015fu mesafesindedir. Normalde buras\u0131 son zamanlarda ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z s\u0131cak g\u00fcnlerde bile insanlarla dolu olurdu. Bug\u00fcnse park\u0131n \u00e7evresinde sendeleyerek y\u00fcr\u00fcyen, al\u0131\u015fveri\u015f arabal\u0131 ve uzun paltolu ya\u015fl\u0131 bir kad\u0131n d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda \u0131ss\u0131zd\u0131. Daha \u00f6\u011flen bile olmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131, ama e\u015fofman\u0131m ve ti\u015f\u00f6rt\u00fcm bu hava i\u00e7in fazla geliyordu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bir m\u00fcddet g\u00f6zlerimi k\u0131sarak parka g\u00f6z gezdirdim, \u00e7imlerin \u00fczerinde bir-iki ad\u0131m y\u00fcr\u00fcd\u00fcm, sonra da nemli ve yumu\u015fak bir \u015feyin ba\u015f\u0131ma \u00e7arpmas\u0131yla afallad\u0131m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geriye \u00e7ekilip sa\u00e7\u0131ma bir \u015faplak att\u0131m. K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir \u015fey y\u00fcz\u00fcm\u00fcn yan\u0131ndan yere, ayaklar\u0131m\u0131n dibinde do\u011fru d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.

Ben park\u0131n i\u00e7ine do\u011fru y\u00fcr\u00fcrken v\u0131raklamalar\u0131n\u0131n sesi giderek artt\u0131. Birka\u00e7 amf\u0131bik hayvan daha, sanki Ulu Tanr\u0131 onlar\u0131 bir \u00e7ama\u015f\u0131r bacas\u0131ndan a\u015fa\u011f\u0131 atm\u0131\u015f gibi, g\u00f6zlerimin \u00f6n\u00fcnde g\u00f6kten yere indi. Her yanda kurba\u011falar s\u0131\u00e7r\u0131yordu. Zemini tamamen kaplamam\u0131\u015flard\u0131, ama onlar\u0131 g\u00f6zden ka\u00e7\u0131rman\u0131z imk\u00e2ns\u0131zd\u0131. Her saniye yeni bir kurba\u011fan\u0131n ini\u015f sesi duyuluyordu. V\u0131raklamalar\u0131, kalabal\u0131k bir odada konu\u015fup \u00e7ene \u00e7alan insanlar\u0131n g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fc and\u0131r\u0131yordu hayal meyal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTuhaf, de\u011fil mi?\u201d dedi hevesli bir ses. Ba\u015f\u0131m\u0131 kald\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131mda geni\u015f omuzlara ve g\u00fcven dolu bir y\u00fcr\u00fcy\u00fc\u015fe sahip k\u0131sa boylu, gen\u00e7 bir adam\u0131n bana do\u011fru geldi\u011fini g\u00f6rd\u00fcm. Bir e\u015fofman alt\u0131 ve siyah renkli, d\u00fcz bir ti\u015f\u00f6rt giymi\u015fti Kurtadam Billy. Bir veya iki y\u0131l \u00f6nce bu k\u0131yafetler sahip oldu\u011fu fazladan yirmi\u2013yirmi be\u015f kiloyu gizliyor olurdu. \u015eimdiyse o kilolar\u0131n yerine koydu\u011fu kaslar\u0131 gizliyorlard\u0131. Billy g\u00fcl\u00fcmseyerek elini uzatt\u0131. \u201cSana ne demi\u015ftim Harry?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSelam Billy,\u201d diye cevap verdim. Elimi gere\u011finden biraz fazla sert s\u0131kt\u0131. Belki de bu benden \u00e7ok daha g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc oldu\u011fu i\u00e7indi. \u201cKurtadam i\u015fi nas\u0131l gidiyor?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130lgin\u00e7le\u015fiyor,\u201d dedi Billy. \u201cSon zamanlarda devriyeye \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda bir\u00e7ok garip \u015feyle kar\u015f\u0131la\u015f\u0131r olduk. Bunun gibi.\u201d Ba\u015f\u0131yla park\u0131 i\u015faret etti. Birka\u00e7 metre \u00f6tede g\u00f6kten bir ba\u015fka kurba\u011fa daha d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc. \u201cB\u00fcy\u00fcc\u00fcy\u00fc bu y\u00fczden \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rd\u0131k.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Devriyeye \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yorlard\u0131 demek. Kanunsuz d\u00fczen sa\u011flay\u0131c\u0131lar ad\u0131na Batman. \u201cBuraya hi\u00e7 normal insan geldi mi?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u00dcniversiteden birka\u00e7 meteoroloji uzman\u0131 d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda hay\u0131r. Louisiana\u2019da ya da \u00f6yle bir yerde birka\u00e7 hortum \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131, muhtemelen kurba\u011falar\u0131 buraya atan \u015feyin de o f\u0131rt\u0131nalar oldu\u011funu s\u00f6ylediler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Homurdand\u0131m. \u201c\u2018B\u00fcy\u00fc kaynakl\u0131\u2019 daha inand\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 bir a\u00e7\u0131klama olmaz m\u0131yd\u0131?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy s\u0131r\u0131tt\u0131. \u201cMerak etme. Eminim \u00e7ok ge\u00e7meden biri gelip bu olay\u0131n uydurma oldu\u011funu ilan edecektir.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cH\u0131-h\u0131\u0131.\u201d Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019ya geri d\u00f6nd\u00fcm ve kaputu a\u00e7\u0131p \u00f6n bagaj b\u00f6lmesini alt \u00fcst etmeye ba\u015flad\u0131m. Naylon bir s\u0131rt \u00e7antas\u0131 buldum, i\u00e7inden iki k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bez \u00e7uval\u0131 \u00e7ekerek \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131m ve birini Billy\u2019ye att\u0131m. \u201cBenim i\u00e7in birka\u00e7 kurba\u011fa kap\u0131p \u00e7uvala koyar m\u0131s\u0131n?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c7uval\u0131 yakalay\u0131p ka\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7att\u0131. \u201cNeden?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGer\u00e7ek olduklar\u0131ndan emin olabileyim diye.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy ka\u015flar\u0131n\u0131 kald\u0131rd\u0131. \u201cOlmad\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 m\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyorsun?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

G\u00f6zlerimi k\u0131sarak ona bakt\u0131m. \u201cBak Billy, sadece dedi\u011fimi yap. Uyumad\u0131m, en son ne zaman s\u0131cak bir yemek yedi\u011fimi hat\u0131rlam\u0131yorum ve bu geceden \u00f6nce yapmam gereken bir s\u00fcr\u00fc \u015fey var.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAma neden ger\u00e7ek olmas\u0131nlar ki? Ger\u00e7ek g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyorlar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

S\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131yla oflay\u0131p sinirlerime h\u00e2kim olmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. Bu, son zamanlarda pek yapamad\u0131\u011f\u0131m bir \u015feydi. \u201cSana ger\u00e7ek gibi g\u00f6r\u00fcnebilir ve gelebilirler, ama sadece birer kurgu olmalar\u0131 m\u00fcmk\u00fcn. Yok Diyar\u2019\u0131n malzemesinden yap\u0131lm\u0131\u015f ve b\u00fcy\u00fcyle canland\u0131r\u0131lm\u0131\u015f olabilirler. Umar\u0131m \u00f6yledirler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNeden?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc bu sadece bir perinin s\u0131k\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve bir oyun oynad\u0131\u011f\u0131 anlam\u0131na gelir. Kimi zaman bunu yaparlar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTamam. Peki ya ger\u00e7eklerse?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGer\u00e7eklerse \u00e7\u0131lg\u0131nca bir \u015feyler d\u00f6n\u00fcyor demektir.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c7\u0131lg\u0131nca derken?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCiddi bi\u00e7imde \u00e7\u0131lg\u0131nca. Ger\u00e7eklik dokusunda delikler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBu k\u00f6t\u00fc m\u00fc olur?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

G\u00f6zlerimi ona diktim. \u201cEvet Billy, k\u00f6t\u00fc olur. Bu b\u00fcy\u00fck bir \u015feyin meydana geldi\u011fi anlam\u0131na gelir.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeki ya\u2013\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asab\u0131m bozuldu. \u201cBug\u00fcn ders vermeye ne zaman\u0131m ne de niyetim var. Kapa lanet \u00e7eneni.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy yat\u0131\u015ft\u0131r\u0131c\u0131 bir \u015fekilde elini kald\u0131rd\u0131. \u201cTamam adam\u0131m. Her neyse.\u201d Parkta y\u00fcr\u00fcrken bana ayak uydurdu ve kurba\u011falar\u0131 toplamaya ba\u015flad\u0131. \u201cEe, \u015fey, seni g\u00f6rmek g\u00fczel Harry. Ben ve \u00e7ete acaba bu hafta sonu bize u\u011fray\u0131p biraz sosyalle\u015fmek ister misin diye merak ediyorduk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben de bir kurba\u011fa kapt\u0131m ve g\u00f6zlerimi \u015f\u00fcpheyle Billy\u2019ye diktim. \u201cNe yaparak?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

S\u0131r\u0131tt\u0131. \u201cArcanos oynayarak adam\u0131m. Senaryo giderek daha e\u011flenceli bir h\u00e2l al\u0131yor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rol yapma oyunlar\u0131. Tek heceli bir ses \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131m. Al\u0131\u015fveri\u015f arabal\u0131 ya\u015fl\u0131 kad\u0131n yan\u0131m\u0131zdan ge\u00e7ti, arabas\u0131n\u0131n tekerlekleri g\u0131c\u0131rday\u0131p sallan\u0131yordu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy, \u201cCidden, \u00e7ok iyi,\u201d diye \u0131srar etti. \u201cLord Malocchio\u2019nun kalesine h\u00fccum ediyoruz, ama bunu gece yar\u0131s\u0131nda ve k\u0131l\u0131k de\u011fi\u015ftirerek yapmam\u0131z gerekiyor, b\u00f6ylece Ger\u00e7ek Konseyi onu ala\u015fa\u011f\u0131 eden kanun d\u0131\u015f\u0131 d\u00fczen sa\u011flay\u0131c\u0131lar\u0131n kim oldu\u011funu anlamayacak. B\u00fcy\u00fcler, iblisler, ejderhalar filan var. \u0130lgini \u00e7eker mi?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130\u015fime fazla benziyor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy homurdand\u0131. \u201cBak Harry, b\u00fct\u00fcn bu vampir sava\u015f\u0131 meselesi y\u00fcz\u00fcnden diken \u00fcst\u00fcnde oldu\u011funu biliyorum. Ve de huysuz. Ama son zamanlarda bodrum kat\u0131na \u00e7ok fazla kapan\u0131r oldun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHangi vampir sava\u015f\u0131?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy g\u00f6zlerini devirdi. \u201cHaber yay\u0131l\u0131yor Harry. Ge\u00e7en sonbahar Bianca\u2019n\u0131n mek\u00e2n\u0131n\u0131 yakmandan sonra vampirlerin K\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 Meclis\u2019inin b\u00fcy\u00fcc\u00fclere kar\u015f\u0131 sava\u015f ilan etti\u011fini biliyorum. O zamandan beri bir\u2013iki kere seni \u00f6ld\u00fcrmeyi denediklerini de biliyorum. Hatta b\u00fcy\u00fcc\u00fclerin Beyaz Konsey\u2019inin ne yap\u0131laca\u011f\u0131na karar vermek i\u00e7in bu yak\u0131nlarda \u015fehre gelece\u011fini bile biliyorum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ona ters ters bakt\u0131m. \u201cNe Beyaz Konseyi?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeninle ve Alfalarla birlikte o futbol ma\u00e7\u0131na gittim.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSand\u0131\u011f\u0131ndan daha iyi biliyorum,\u201d dedi. \u201cSusan ile ilgili, de\u011fil mi? Ge\u00e7en sonbahar ona bir \u015fey oldu.

Billy k\u0131vr\u0131ld\u0131 ama darbe omzuna isabet etti, bir h\u0131r\u0131lt\u0131 koyuverdi. Neredeyse takip edilemeyecek bir h\u0131zla kad\u0131n\u0131n di\u011fer eline sald\u0131rd\u0131 ve pompal\u0131 t\u00fcfek yere d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0130nsan de\u011fildi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elleri, omuzlar\u0131 ve \u00e7enesi gerilip uzad\u0131. \u00c7irkin, kaba pen\u00e7elere d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fen t\u0131rnaklar\u0131n\u0131 Billy\u2019ye savurup \u00e7enesini boydan boya yard\u0131 ve bu sefer ac\u0131yla havlama ile h\u0131r\u0131lt\u0131 kar\u0131\u015f\u0131m\u0131 bir ses \u00e7\u0131karmas\u0131na neden oldu. Billy yana do\u011fru yuvarland\u0131ktan sonra aya\u011fa kalkt\u0131 ve s\u0131rt\u0131n\u0131 bana d\u00f6nmesini sa\u011flamak i\u00e7in di\u015fi yarat\u0131\u011f\u0131n etraf\u0131nda daireler \u00e7izmeye ba\u015flad\u0131.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kamyonetteki silahl\u0131 \u00e7ocu\u011fun \u015farj\u00f6r\u00fc yeniden bo\u015fald\u0131.

Kurt yana do\u011fru s\u0131\u00e7rad\u0131, kad\u0131n da kendi etraf\u0131nda h\u0131zla d\u00f6nerek benimle y\u00fczle\u015fti. \u00c7arp\u0131lm\u0131\u015f y\u00fcz hatlar\u0131 hiddetle doluydu, fillerinkileri and\u0131ran di\u015flerinin \u00e7evresi salyayla kaplanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karn\u0131na ni\u015fan al\u0131p teti\u011fi \u00e7ektim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silah g\u00fcrleyip geri teperek omzuma sert\u00e7e \u00e7arpt\u0131. Bunlar ya 10 kalibrelik ya da sa\u00e7mal\u0131 kur\u015funlard\u0131. Kad\u0131n bir hayk\u0131r\u0131\u015fla iki b\u00fckl\u00fcm oldu ve geriye do\u011fru sendeleyip yere d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc. Orada uzun s\u00fcre kalmad\u0131. Neredeyse sekerek tekrar ayakland\u0131. Y\u0131rt\u0131k p\u0131rt\u0131k giysisi k\u0131z\u0131la boyanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131 ve y\u00fcz\u00fc art\u0131k tamamen insanl\u0131ktan \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Ko\u015farak yan\u0131mdan ge\u00e7ip kamyonetin arka taraf\u0131na atlad\u0131. Silahl\u0131 \u00e7ocuk su\u00e7 orta\u011f\u0131n\u0131 yan\u0131na \u00e7ekti ve s\u00fcr\u00fcc\u00fc motoru \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131. Kamyonet harekete ge\u00e7meden \u00f6nce etrafa biraz \u00e7imen sa\u00e7t\u0131, s\u0131\u00e7rayarak yeniden caddeye \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131 ve trafi\u011fin i\u00e7inde g\u00f6zden kayboldu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bir saniyeli\u011fine, nefes nefese kalm\u0131\u015f bir vaziyette arkalar\u0131ndan bakt\u0131m. T\u00fcfe\u011fi indirdim; bunu yaparken yerden ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m kurba\u011fay\u0131 her nas\u0131lsa h\u00e2l\u00e2 sol elimde tutmay\u0131 becerdi\u011fimi fark ettim.

Billy\u2019yi g\u00f6rmek i\u00e7in d\u00f6nd\u00fcm. Kurt, yere att\u0131\u011f\u0131 e\u015fofman\u0131n\u0131n \u00fczerinde doland\u0131, bir anl\u0131\u011f\u0131na parlad\u0131, sonra da yeniden \u00e7\u0131plak, gen\u00e7 bir adama d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc. Y\u00fcz\u00fcnde \u00e7enesine paralel iki uzun kesik vard\u0131. Bo\u011faz\u0131ndan a\u015fa\u011f\u0131 ince bir \u015ferit h\u00e2linde kan ak\u0131yordu. Billy kendini gergin bir \u015fekilde ta\u015f\u0131yordu, ama bu ac\u0131 \u00e7ekti\u011finin tek belirtisiydi.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGulyabani,\u201d dedim. \u201cMuhtemelen LaChaise \u00e7etesinin bir \u00fcyesi. K\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 Meclis\u2019le beraber \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131rlar ve benden pek ho\u015flanmazlar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGulyabani, ha? \u00d6l\u00fc m\u00fc?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ba\u015f\u0131m\u0131 iki yana sallad\u0131m. \u201cHamamb\u00f6cekleri gibidirler. Her \u015feyi atlat\u0131rlar. Y\u00fcr\u00fcyebilecek h\u00e2lde misin?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130yi. Gidelim buradan.\u201d Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019ya do\u011fru y\u00f6neldik. Giderken kurba\u011falarla dolu \u00e7uval\u0131 yerden ald\u0131m ve silkeleyerek i\u00e7indeki hayvanlar\u0131 bo\u015faltmaya ba\u015flad\u0131m. Ezmeme ramak kalan kurba\u011fay\u0131 da yanlar\u0131na att\u0131m, sonra da elimi \u00e7imlere sildim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy bana g\u00f6zlerini k\u0131sarak bakt\u0131. \u201cNeden serbest b\u0131rakt\u0131n onlar\u0131?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTuttu\u011fum kurba\u011fa elime pisledi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy\u2019yi Mavi Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019ya oturttum, ben de di\u011fer taraftan bindim. Koltu\u011fumun alt\u0131ndaki ilkyard\u0131m kutusunu \u00e7\u0131kar\u0131p ona uzatt\u0131m. Billy bir bezi y\u00fcz\u00fcne bast\u0131rarak d\u0131\u015far\u0131daki kurba\u011falara bakt\u0131. \u201cBu, durumun k\u00f6t\u00fc oldu\u011fu anlam\u0131na m\u0131 geliyor?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvet,\u201d dedim, \u201cdurum k\u00f6t\u00fc.\u201d Bir dakikal\u0131\u011f\u0131na sessiz kald\u0131m, sonra da, \u201cHayat\u0131m\u0131 kurtard\u0131n,\u201d dedim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omuz silkti. Bana bakmad\u0131.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRandevuyu saat \u00fc\u00e7e alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131n, de\u011fil mi? \u0130sim neydi? Sommerset mi?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bana \u015f\u00f6yle bir g\u00f6z att\u0131. Y\u00fcz\u00fcndeki g\u00fcl\u00fcmsemeyi bast\u0131rmay\u0131 ba\u015fard\u0131 \u2013 ama g\u00f6zlerindekini de\u011fil. \u201cEvet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sakal\u0131m\u0131 ka\u015f\u0131d\u0131m ve ba\u015f\u0131mla onaylad\u0131m. \u201cSon zamanlarda akl\u0131m ba\u015fka yerlerdeydi. Belki \u00f6nce bir temizlenmeliyim.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130yi olabilir,\u201d diye onaylad\u0131 Billy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0130\u00e7imi \u00e7ektim. \u201cBazen tam bir e\u015fek oluyorum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy g\u00fcld\u00fc. \u201cBazen. Sen de hepimiz gibi insans\u0131n.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019y\u0131 \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131m. Motor biraz nazland\u0131, ama zor da olsa \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131rmay\u0131 ba\u015fard\u0131m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tam o anda bir \u015fey sert, a\u011f\u0131r bir g\u00fcmlemeyle kaputuma \u00e7arpt\u0131. Sonra bir kez daha. Ard\u0131ndan bir ba\u015fka sert darbe tavana indi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ba\u015f\u0131m d\u00f6nmeye, midem bulanmaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Bu his o kadar ani ve \u015fiddetli bir \u015fekilde geldi ki bay\u0131lmamak i\u00e7in direksiyon simidini kavramam gerekti. Uzaktan Billy\u2019nin bana iyi olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 sordu\u011funu duyabiliyordum. De\u011fildim. G\u00fc\u00e7, d\u0131\u015far\u0131daki havada hareket edip k\u0131m\u0131ldan\u0131yordu. Yo\u011fun bir bozulma vard\u0131, normalde p\u00fcr\u00fczs\u00fcz ve sessiz bir d\u00fczenle hareket eden b\u00fcy\u00fc g\u00fc\u00e7leri aniden arbedeli, y\u0131k\u0131c\u0131, \u00e7\u0131ld\u0131rt\u0131c\u0131 bir karma\u015faya d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bu hisleri uzakla\u015ft\u0131rmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131m ve g\u00f6zlerimi a\u00e7mak i\u00e7in \u00e7aba harcad\u0131m. G\u00f6kten kurba\u011falar ya\u011f\u0131yordu. \u00d6yle arada bir cup diye d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fcyor, bardaktan bo\u015fan\u0131rcas\u0131na ya\u011f\u0131yorlard\u0131, \u00f6yle ki g\u00f6k kapkara kesilmi\u015fti. Zavall\u0131 \u015feyler \u00e7ama\u015f\u0131r bacas\u0131ndan d\u00fc\u015fer gibi hafif\u00e7e de konmuyordu. Dolu taneleri gibi iniyor, betonun ve Kaplumba\u011fa\u2019n\u0131n kaputunun \u00fczerinde par\u00e7alan\u0131yorlard\u0131. Bir tanesi o kadar h\u0131zl\u0131 \u00e7arpt\u0131 ki \u00f6n penceremde \u00f6r\u00fcmcek a\u011f\u0131n\u0131 and\u0131ran \u00e7atlaklar olu\u015ftu. Hemen vitese tak\u0131p gaza bast\u0131m.

\u0130kimiz de \u00e7ok h\u0131zl\u0131 nefes al\u0131p veriyorduk. Billy hakl\u0131yd\u0131. Kurba\u011fa ya\u011fmuru b\u00fcy\u00fc bak\u0131m\u0131ndan ciddi bir \u015feylerin d\u00f6nd\u00fc\u011f\u00fc anlam\u0131na geliyordu. Beyaz Konsey bu gece sava\u015f hakk\u0131nda g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fmek i\u00e7in \u015fehre geliyordu. G\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fmem gereken bir m\u00fc\u015fterim vard\u0131 ve besbelli ki vampirler i\u015fi iyice ciddiye bindirmi\u015fti, bug\u00fcne kadar cesaret edebildiklerinden \u00e7ok daha a\u00e7\u0131k\u00e7a sald\u0131rm\u0131\u015flard\u0131 bana.<\/span><\/p>\n
