More very early to go to college. Martha liked to learn the girl had many friends and everyone loved this seventeen year old little girl. The girl slyly narrowed his green eyes and deftly jumped to the floor. Miss Gerol bare feet padded in the bath. Wanting to ward off the remnants of sleep, she opened the cold water tap and washed vigorously. Then I take a morning shower and brushed my teeth. The dream vanished. March went to the kitchen to prepare their own breakfast. She loved to toast with peanut butter and a glass of pomegranate juice. March quickly all currently prepared and sat at the table. The house was still quiet; her family were still asleep. Suddenly, home phone rang. March delayed the half-eaten toast and went to the phone.
Yes, I'm listening to - cheerfully said Miss Gerol.
At the end of the phone she heard the young man's voice:

She felt in the heart of bottled soft.
-Eric, I'm so glad to hear you - with great love Martha replied .-- Come with me, let's go to college together.
-I, By the way, about this and call you - laughed in the tube Eric .-- Did you know that Mrs. Lynch has decided today to give us a test?
Martha was frightened of this news. She liked biology and this item was given to her easily.
-All Okay, Eric. You know that this is my biologiya- << >> horse - Miss Gerol laughed.
While she was on the phone, I walked into the kitchen of Mrs. Katherine Gerol. Seeing a daughter, the woman smiled at her. Katharina looked attractive: reddish hair fell to her shoulders, blue eyes were soft and kind. March winked mother.
- Eric, you come, I will wait, - said the girl softly into the phone.

She vigorously started running around the house; She grabbed a red bag, backpack, put to a packet of biscuits, apple and chocolate. Catherine, the daughter watching the bustle, quietly laughing.
- Martha, you are so troubled, my daughter - the mother went to the girl and put her arm around her as if to stop her daughter.
Suddenly, March silently screamed and pulled away from mother.
- What's the matter, daughter - in fright asked Mrs. Gerol. The girl looked at her mother in surprise.
- Do not know, Mom, I ... I ... just came back sharply in ...-- she herself could not understand what had happened .-- All right, let go like.
Are you sure? Maybe invite the doctor - mother sympathetically looked at Martha.
- Do not worry, Mom, everything is gone, - she smiled and put the backpack.
Then the doorbell rang. March saw the opening and ran on the verge of a tall young man with dark hair and blue eyes, good, but with a little cunning. A young man smiling and holding a bouquet of roses.
- Hi, rosette - man gallantly kissed her hand Martha .-- This is for you!
The boy gave a girl flowers.
- Eric, I'm so glad to see you! - Exclaimed joyfully Beauty .-- Oh, what beautiful flowers!
March leaned toward a full-blown buds to inhale the unique aroma of roses. Few come round, she took Eric's hand and led him into the living room.
-Wait, I'll just see how my asters - Martha kissed the boy and ran to her room.
Eric began to inspect the living room; He walked over to a large library and picked up a thick book in a thick red-bound. The book was a little shabby. The young man began to inspect it, and a little surprised: the book was about the colors of the world and how to make them elixirs, drugs and more.
- Hmm, I wonder whose it is a book - Eric asked himself.
-This Book Martha - heard behind Lentsch deep male voice. The young man turned to see Martha's father, Mr. Greg Carroll. It was a stout tall man, short cut with green eyes. His eyes were calm, but I felt a certain rigor.
- Hello Mr. Gerol, I did not hear you come in.
The men shook hands.
- Martha loves these books - continued Greig .-- She's just crazy about flowers, and even she did not understand where she has this fanaticism.
Eric said the men marveled. The guy did not even know that Martha loves flowers so much.
At this time, in March in his room cleaned with a clean cloth flowers asters. A girl having fun singing some song. Marta and really loved the flowers of all kinds. She liked its aroma, tenderness and purity. Miss Gerol even felt some connection with colors.
Suddenly Martha pierced a sharp pain under the shoulder blades. The pain was so intense that she cried out and fell unconscious. At this point in the window flashed a strange light, and heard a quiet melodious singing ...
Eric and Mr. Gerol, at this time, sitting in the living room.

- Maybe she did not consider it so important - concluded Eric.
Mr. Gerol nodded. Then Eric, as if caught himself and realized that Martha has long does not come out of his room.
- Why is there a long time Martha - anxiously asked the youth .-- Is it so long watering the flowers?
- Do not worry, I told you, my daughter having fun on flowers - reassured Mr. Man Gerol.
Eric got up from the couch and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. In college, young people clearly late.
Mrs. Gerol decided to go to her daughter to help with the flowers. Entering the room, Katherine saw Martha in an unnatural position, lying on the floor. Mother terribly frightened and ran to her daughter.
- Martha! My girl - Katharina screamed in fright and tried to raise her daughter.
She let out a barely audible sound and fell silent again. The woman panicked. She burst into tears of fear and despair, not knowing what her little girl.
Katharina's husband, heard the cry, frightened jumped from the couch in the living room and rushed to call his wife. Erik also ran after him. Running into Martha's room, Greig saw his wife sitting on the lap around Martha, who was lying unconscious on the floor.
- Oh, my God! - Whispered a frightened man and rushed to her daughter .-- Honey, wake up! What happened to you?
Mrs. Gerol looked up at her husband's tear-stained eyes.

The young man nodded and began frantically to take the phone out of his pocket. Catherine Greig and gently raised a daughter in her arms and laid on the bed. Then in March abruptly opened her eyes. Parents were confused when he saw the girl's eyes completely blue.
She sharply arched and screamed hysterically:

- Well, where is Eric?! - Angry Greig .-- It has long had to call an ambulance!
- Greig, and who the groves - Kathryn asked quietly, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his daughter.
- I do not know - shrugged his husband .-- I am also surprised to hear that name.
Then Eric came running and said that he called an ambulance and the doctors are on their way. The guy looked at Martha. She was lying quietly. Eric stood and wept. Catherine looked at him and the woman felt sorry for him. She walked over to the young man and gave him a hug.
- Do not worry, son, everything will be alright - through tears tried to reassure Mrs Erika Gerol. The woman tried so hard to reassure himself.
Suddenly the door bell rang. All they startled. Recovering himself, the mother rushed to open the door. On the threshold stood the doctor and nurse.

The doctor turned to his parents. Those surprise looked at Blanks, and then transferred to a startled look on her daughter's back.

Black hair like a raven's wing, gleaming in the sun like silk. Outside this
guy attracted attention; He was indecently handsome with athletic.

after him. But the guy did not pay attention to them anyone. He ran a few
meters, the young man found himself near the house Gerol family. After opening
the gate, the young man went into the yard and looked around. He immediately
noticed the flower bed with beautiful flowers, rose bush, who grew up near the
flower bed. The young man bent over to inhale the fragrance of the flowers,
then ran his fingers along the petals. Suddenly his eyes Man became completely
black, and around the body appeared dark glow. Beautiful flowers wilted
immediately.
Suddenly, everything stopped because an unusual young man called out a
voice:
- Excuse me, but what are you doing here?
The boy looked around and saw the neighbor's fence for an elderly woman. She
looked at the stranger with suspicion and curiosity.
- Madame, you will forgive me for such a daring visit, but I came to the
call of his princess - politely said the guy with the bow.
