CHAPTER 1.

Vicky was eleven years old, but she would not have dared to admit to anyone that secretly, when her parents went to work in the morning, she took out her usual daily dose of a couple of cigarettes, and out of boredom, and a large dose of curiosity, she already started puffing clouds of smoke to her heart's content!

All he wanted was to be able to form such a beautifully curved ring with his lips, which he had seen so many times in old romantic movies. And although the other classmates really called her an idiot because she became a big fan of black-and-white movies when she was a little girl, this stubborn and somewhat selfish passion didn't stop even in her teenage years!

He liked long cigarettes the most. Maybe because the way mother held it in her swan-like hands had a special magic and a never-ending, tamed romance.

Because of her problems at work, her mother often resorted to cigarettes - according to some, it is a stress reliever, but according to others, it is a silent killer for her pleasure, that she definitely tries to reduce her irritability and stress factors, which promise to be long-lasting!

Mother Vicky was a busy working woman; maybe a little naive and easily influenced when it came to men because she became a mom at a very young age and hated getting old!

On this sunny April afternoon - right after school - she was on her way home from school with a small company of her best friends.

They tried to discuss the current and, of course, the latest male topics, touching on every detail! Starting with who has the wildest, sexiest smile? Who has had sex? Who ovulated? And a million things, which in most cases have always excited the private lives of teenage girls, combined with lively curiosity!

I can't believe that Csipa has a bigger cue than Petya! - one of the girls wearing exaggerated make-up, who couldn't have been more than ten years old and already had the shape of a ready-made fashion model, said in disbelief. Most people can't wait to grow breasts, and they try to make it even more exciting with the biggest possible bra, giving in to the curiosity of the stronger sex!

Most people stuff the crumpled newspaper or small pieces of cardboard into the larger bra, with the help of which the rounded part of the t-shirt looks nice and shapelier, and with this they already achieve the desired effect: they draw everyone's attention to themselves! Most girls became experts at this when they hit puberty!

They walked all the way down the cozy road lined with only green trees, which led from the school through the housing estate all the way to home. The goal was Vicky's panel apartment, where hopefully her parents haven't arrived yet, and where they can spend the rest of the day doing girly activities instead of writing the usual house assignments!

In the small residential and recreational area, where most condominium properties could also start to develop, most people still liked friendships and hanging out; Vicky didn't want to miss out on anything, because she considered it the most important goal in her life to finally belong somewhere and finally be accepted.

His father was a night watchman at a large multinational company, where you could only tell that maximum performance was expected from everyone, which meant a complete reduction of personal life! In most cases, he tried to compensate for his father's problems at work with beer, but if spirits were mentioned as an accompaniment, then in most cases he came home in a slightly drunken state, which was almost never without a neck soup or two or a hearty slap.

Vicky was able to recognize and feel the destructive effects of alcohol very well almost from the time she was a baby, and when her trash-talking father behaved in this way with her, and in many cases with her mother, she did not leave his murderous evils unspoken and answered back, which resulted in a warning from the headmaster the next day, and of course the parents' late appearance at the principal's office.

They turned off the little path and cut through to the general store, where at that time perhaps the finest gum could be had in bags; and you could even taste it!

- You listen? I saw that little snotty-haired Tomika scolding you during the whole class! Still, what's going on between you?! asked one of the girls, who was much taller than her peers thanks to lucky genetics.

I think he just likes me! But this condition will pass with time! he threw it there. Vicky often felt as if she alone was the boss of the gang, in a secret godmother role!

Don't make a fool of me because I'll make you angry! Not to mention you and that little bastard! Hihihi! another friend giggled.

In fact, Vicky was much more mature even as a beginning teenager than she is now at the age of fifteen. At least with all the little girls around her age, who all dreamed of a dream career and a luxurious lifestyle, and then went to the wall if someone already smeared them, and that too for a long time!

Vicky was barely five and a half years old when she kicked her father, who was constantly mocking and littering, so badly that the doctor ordered an ice pack for the old man, his balls began to hurt so permanently!

What followed was not something pleasant, because her father - unbeknownst to her mother - always made sure that Vicky also remembered the small and big lessons of life, which her father believed would only benefit his daughter's intellectual development. There were a lot of total fights and disagreements in his far from idyllic childhood, and after a while it seemed completely natural that my mother broke up with me and immediately filed for divorce!

From then on, mother and daughter made a secret, tacit agreement against the world of jerks and marcona men; they were supports and helpers for each other!

Different methods were devised in case the mother was accidentally invited to a date by one of the better looking women. At that point, Vicky's mother immediately and categorically stipulated that if she wanted him, she would have to accept her one-eyed daughter as well, which most boyfriends did not want to do, so actually there was not a single opportunity after her parents' divorce battle when Vicky could have exceptionally experienced what a normal family community!

As soon as they crossed the park, the small group of best friends didn't waste a single minute to start asking questions about each other's future.

...And just say it, my Fairy! What will you be when you grow up? asked one of the extravagant girls dressed in black to the other langaleta.

Oh, I don't even know! Maybe I'll try being a presenter or a model! - said the beauty blessed with lucky genetics without any hesitation. After all, the world of the media has always promised me an alluring reputation and success.

I can't believe this! Why is it that everyone in this fucking world wants to be a model or a presenter?! – blurted out, as if she alone had been insulted by the third girlfriend, who had a regular piercing through the part between her nose and her upper lip.

Don't mess up! Vicky silenced the company. - Surely everyone is responsible and dreams of a job with a secure living! I don't understand what's wrong with that?!

Well, dear Vickym, we already have as many award-winning mall cats and famous celebrity assheads as the earth has ever borne! Who misses the fact that we are already a lousy homeland of jerks and retards?!

The rocker girl - as many people called her - used her usually fierce and arrogant temperament mainly to protect the lost!

A Skoda 1200 not suitable for a battered junkyard was parked in the opposite street, where the members of the small group turned!

Anyone who had a cigarette immediately threw it away or stomped it on the ground, so as not to be able to raise a word in the name of a healthy lifestyle, just like any gossip-loving neighbor!

Girls! Drop bags! I don't want us to fall down already! - ordered Vicky, who always had her wits about her.

- Say it? Who died that you've already become the boss and you're pushing the deaf nonsense?! asked the rocker girl.

If you don't want to get down and explain to Aunt Kovacswhere your cigarettes come from, you'd better listen to me!

Look over there! You just didn't do it?! - said the girl with extravagant piercings.

- Far from it! I'll stand up to anyone who says otherwise! I'm just being careful because I know what's at stake! That's it! Vicky threw it casually.

CHAPTER 2.

The stiletto shoes followed the most exquisite Italian dolce vita tred, while the summer skirt, praising classic modernity, contained a rather refined and angelic beauty.

At first glance, Julianna looked much more like a successful model than a woman whose job it is to spend most of her day interviewing cheap little divas, from well-known public figures to little-known little-known divas!

She has always taken great care of her appearance, and perhaps this may have caused her personal derailment, when her relationship with one of her friends, which she believed to be long-lasting, broke down in a couple of years, and they grew so distant that one fine day, without a word, her boyfriend packed up all his goodies and stepped down!

Of course, he also brought his two symptomatic daughters from his first marriage with him!

Julianna may never have forgiven herself for this minor derailment in her life, but at the same time, she was also aware that under no circumstances would she have wanted the two little girls - whom she tried to raise and take care of as her own - to suffer any kind of mental trauma or shock. to suffer because of the irresponsible behavior of adults!

Even now, her mother's former advice rang in her ears, that starting out with married men is suicide for a maximalist and ambitious adult, young woman, because sooner or later, the man in question will not venture too far and will nicely return to the normal routine of his life!

With a casual elegance, the summer dress with a skirt flattered her fit-athletic body, while with her black chrome microphone she moved between the recently renovated and very tastefully decorated sets of the Várkert Bazaar with her quiet feline skill, and tried to interview as many businessmen beaming with fake smiles and exotic ladies as she could. he knew, because his boss, the slave ship czar, strictly tied it to his soul, if everything didn't work out as expected from a marketable tabloid channel by major investors and big media businessmen, then there could easily be radical downsizing in the near future, and everyone knew that this was another may result in layoffs!

Julianna always emphasized her natural beauty and felt a small sense of shame when someone forgot to praise how stylishly and harmoniously she can wear the clothes of some successful fashion designers!

And, of course, he also carefully made sure that the simple people - if they were lucky enough to meet him, could only see his cheerful, sunny grin, while his somewhat messy private life was covered by the philanthropic gloom !

At first her hair was reddish, almost demonically witchy, later she decided to change it to a pale sunny yellow and try something quite boyish. She carefully cut it into a short style, and of course, contrary to her hairdresser's opinion that: ponytails and long hair will be popular again, Julianna voted for practicality, because she had no desire to spend hours in front of the bathroom mirror painting herself!

The almost mandatory, made-to-measure, silver-plated, extravagant earrings, which were now in both earlobes like some ancient Egyptian, imposing small amulet, shone gloriously as the light of the spotlights illuminated it here and there.

A tasteful, well-designed bracelet hugged her swan-white lips, and even though it was summer, she still had to protect her ashy skin from the sun's harmful rays, as she could burn quickly!

He looked around several times and inspected the interior in sufficient detail! For an average person, the sight of Julianna was enough to make him completely quit his life that seemed boring and average.

Her eyes were both dark brown and charmingly sparkling black brilliants. It was as if he had inherited them from an Indian princess, and when someone looked directly into his eyes he was simply unable to escape the captivating attraction; he could feel as if his entire personality had been enchanted and absorbed by those magical, enchanting eyes!

However, her dreamy, exotic appearance always betrayed and revealed that this maximalist, Karakan young woman really likes the fast-paced life in the capital, and has no intention of living the boring, monotonous life of housewives, when life still has so much exciting adventure in store for her. !

Among other things, his legendary eyes have also worn the hangover lifestyle on their own!

He crossed the larger room, where the impressive size of the crystal chandeliers indicated that certainly the members of the top ten thousand also like to visit the place, and then he immediately stuck the microphone under the nose of the first lady, who looked to be eighteen years old, and immediately motioned to the cameraman that she was already in action. the broadcast is going, and record everything at a professional level, otherwise you will get your ass kicked in the future!

Good evening, dear viewers! As you may have noticed, the renovated Várkert Bazaar has once again opened its doors to the lovely public! It's fantastic that in the context of galas and events following the latest trendy fashions, I can already welcome one of the first lovely guests, one of the lovely models who paid their respects here. - Hi, how are you? - he asked, because in the 21st century it has become a habit to use a stick.

Thank you, it's a really fantastic evening! the other lady acknowledged the observation. Her prom dress was so scaly that she had to watch, because one wrong move and she could easily have tripped over herself and tripped over her nose.

– Would you tell us a little about who designed your dress and how the rest of the evening will continue for you?

At first, the young lady could neither spit nor swallow. As if he couldn't get used to having at least ten thousand pairs of prying eyes watching his every move with greedy curiosity. However, apparently at this moment he did not really understand what the question was about. So he politely forced a charming smile on himself and, apologizing, he already blended into the crowd, which had doubled in size in the meantime, just so he wouldn't have to make a statement!

Julianna - although she did everything to make the interviews as high-quality as possible, unfortunately she had to feel that people are reluctant to open up to other, wild people, even if she tries to strike a direct, easy, conversational style towards them!

The large reception area was filled almost immediately.

It must have been around eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still that regularly suffocating atmosphere, in which a cellar-like mustiness prevails, with a pervasive smell of steaming sweat, which they want to effectively counterbalance with no small amount of perfume clouds!

She once again took her place in the best place close to the red carpet, and tried to show off all her superstitious, bewitching femininity, so that all the curious and greedy eyes would pay attention to her and honor her for at least one sentence!

Men are always easy to spot as little boys hiding in men, swinging and chasing romantic syrupy dreams!

Even so, he successfully caught a few glances sent his way, which was extremely flattering to his ego! Although he would never have admitted it to himself lately, when it seemed that his career thirsting for success on the rise, his professional and broadcasting career flattered his vanity immensely, if he could whip up the libido level of men!

Most people eyed it right away and it was flattering every minute! He was just about to take a pleasant sip of some delicious and exotic slightly chilled cocktail, into which the bartender had smuggled some alcohol in return for his exceptionally charming smile, and then he had to experience with bitter disappointment that this trendy, sociable, posh person would be successful for a very long time even at night, because even though most of the guests had arrived a long time ago, there was still a list of special guests who will be honored tonight for the sake of exceptionality!

Juliepaid for the requested small lemonade and before doing anything he took a huge sip of the icy refreshment, because he felt like he was standing on a thin rope and balancing over a cliff in his graceful and very sexy stilettos! On the way, he still had plenty of time to conduct a poll on his own regarding men and assess the turnout! In particular, he considered men who were not afraid of showing their weakness and who enjoyed an advantageous, privileged position in the so-called bass players, who even burst into tears after hearing a story that turned out to be a bit overly emotional, or they were just the favorites of worried mothers, who should be pampered!

He had never smoked in public, yet now he desperately needed to be able to smoke one of the more branded cigarettes and, exceptionally, even blow out the smoke!

Juliechuckled softly to himself when he assessed the transition between men and macho muscle colossuses, and he immediately realized that there was some pathetic, fake syrupiness between this current era and the peacetime nineties, when everyone still wore jeans and there was no shame, if someone appeared with purple hair! For these childish qualities in today's world, in addition to a big kick in the ass, they even hate you if you pay your respects at a cool social event!

She reached into her baby blue handbag, which looked like a small jewelry box, and involuntarily took out a cigarette, while the cameraman - who had a reputation as a heavy chain smoker - helpfully even offered him a match!

If you think it's beautiful, you're welcome to come up to me after work to clean my tool! - he offered not too discreetly.

And I'm telling you, bitch, if you don't give a lady enough respect, next time you won't even have balls! – he smiled broadly and already returned to the red carpet so that not a single important, relevant detail could escape his curious attention!

CHAPTER 3.

The girl with pierced lips, extravagant, and wearing black leather up to her feet, backed away from the big, old tree until her friends said enough was enough.

It was rare to get his eccentric personality to engage in a bit of fun, but now everyone was exceptionally happy that they could work together as members of a well-established team!

Hey, Dorca! Where are you? Vicky shouted, because she liked to know that no one was in unnecessary trouble.

Don't worry, little one! Dorothy is almost grown up, she recently had her thirteenth birthday! I think it's been a long time since he got his first month! If you know what I mean?! – everyone tried to let this unpleasant and somewhat rude remark pass their ears!

It is true that they have almost crossed the initial threshold of adolescence, but they were still afraid to talk about certain taboo topics, because back home they had heard - without exception - that it was better not to discuss certain topics, then they would not get into trouble!

Dorothy, stop being silly! We're getting really worried about you! Where the hell are you?! - shouted Vicky now, as her throat was torn, as much as she could manage. – he always liked to protect those who behaved particularly well, or the younger ones, because he saw well how a serious quarrel could tear his family apart, as well as physical violence, which was also brutal! Had enough of it!

Should we start a rescue expedition now, or what should we do then? - asked a tall girl, whose body shape was more like a long ladder, and the curvaceous forms of femininity had not yet appeared on her.

Vicky has yelled enough. He decided to find his strange girlfriend, even if he was alone. All that's missing is for something more serious to happen! He won't let this happen! Everyone agrees! One for everyone! – was their secret password!

- OK Girls! Then I'll find Dorothy! Are you free to choose what you want? Either you came with me and everyone is fine, or you all went home, but then I won't say a word to you for two weeks! So what?! he put his hand on his hip!

Dorothy has always hated it when someone - especially girls, of course - is judged based on their appearance, which the boys also easily took over. Now he wanted to release the unworthy, annoying tension that had built up inside him.

With his upper body, he let his parents into running, and he didn't even know that he could walk pretty well, because after a while he wasn't interested in it either. Just get out of here for good! As far as possible!

He came to a small wooded clearing, which might have once been a neglected but genuinely romantic picnic spot; however, the general neglect and the weedy parts hurt it a lot. He tripped over a protruding rock, but luckily he didn't fall! Fortunately, Vicky also liked those places where she could be a little alone, where she could retreat from the army of intrusive curious people, and where she didn't have to constantly explain herself or fear pressure to comply: and what's even more important! Where you can finally be whoever you want!

Hi Dorothy! Reassure me that you only ran away because you don't feel like flirting with the others too much?! he asked, secretly hoping that his extreme girlfriend could walk in similar shoes.

Well… as a matter of fact… I just wanted to be alone for a bit! – he crossed his two arms just in front of his bulging chest, on which the first round signs of puberty were already visible! He looked like a zombie.

His body was sweaty from the sweat that had stuck to him. Determined for everything, his serious gaze - thanks to the eyeliner he borrowed from his mother - stared menacingly ahead!

It was felt that he would immediately beat anyone to the ground, and that he would not know either God or man if he took his own words for granted!

You know, I also tend to retreat to such hidden places, because my mother has enough trouble without me! he told the truth. He always felt that telling the truth sooner or later would turn things around!

Dorothy was still breathing heavily, but thanks to her athletic, lucky physique, it didn't even occur to her that she hadn't run like this for a long time. Not so with Vicky, who, due to her smaller size, panted more and more for several minutes until she was able to breathe properly!

Hey! Peace of mind! No problem! Dorothy tried to calm her troubled friend. In any case, I'll look around a bit more! You can come with me if you want!

His voice was strange, because if anything could be known about Dorothy - even on a rumor level - then it was that she offered almost nothing to anyone, let alone accompanying her on a play!

They found a dry stream bed and continued their journey together!

CHAPTER 4.

Andrew Kisteleky, the party face of a former reality TV show who gained cheap fame, was sipping his favorite buffalo-strength summer cocktail with a combination of tequila and vodka, and he didn't seem to pay any attention to the little chirping, sauce-loving kitten who kept talking to him and talking about his ambitious dreams.

He would not have admitted to anyone that he was practically his parents throughout his life, and here we must first think of his father, who may have lived as a private entrepreneur and would have been willing to do anything in order to continue to maintain the carefree and light-hearted luxury lifestyle of the golden children!

Even if he needed to be taken seriously, maybe he would have gone back to work in his father's cool car dealership, but what he hated even more than paperwork was the permanent commitment to the lump and time! Finally, when his popularity suddenly fell into his lap, and his name became known nationally, he was able to choose from the best - mainly presenter and media jobs - whatever was offered to him.

With his own money - if he had any at all - he liked to travel to the most exotic foreign places and constantly conquer the most beautiful exotic flower girls of each country, and what other people's opinion about this left him completely cold!

He sipped his drink with a deliberately slow movement, and - although he wasn't drunk, at most slightly tipsy - he began to suffer from a headache from his little lady constantly whispering in his ear.

Look, kitty! You are such a cute poof! You know what?! The next time we meet, I'll invite you to my yacht, and there you can feel free to pant if you want, or go monokini! – there wasn't a single twenty-year-old woman who didn't melt from her already macho, artificial grin. It's like he's a male model whose profession includes disgusting, slug-like charm!

Vicky's mother always felt and knew that her teenage daughter - although she wants to be an adult at all costs - needs her mother's wise and experienced insights every now and then in order to better manage life's complicated pitfalls.

The moment some police officers showed up at his workplace, he knew for sure that it wouldn't end well if his teenage daughter was in front of his eyes even once, and he couldn't find a plausible explanation for what they were looking for in an abandoned, wooded, out-of-the-way area, where the birds don't go, and which is usually a favorite home of criminal elements!

He immediately became suspicious of Vicky's behavior, since - although his daughter had a reputation as an eavesdropper in the castle and a liar - if she talked to her mother, there was not much chance that she would not be exposed immediately, because certain body language and secret eye signals of a lie must be known exactly be with the manipulability of the other party, which can be used in an advantageous framework!

Not so Mrs. Kovács! He hasn't been dropped on his head yet! And even though she worked all day - pretty much from four in the morning until half past six in the evening - she was able to get rid of her hostile and rude husband once and for all, and from then on, she and her daughter formed a strong alliance of defiance!

Two police officers showed up at his workplace in pairs and began their investigation with all kinds of strange questions. As:

Have you experienced anything unusual in the past forty-eight hours?

Didn't your daughter have any minor or major run-ins with the law?

What do you know about your ex-husband's affairs?

After a while, the nervous system of even the most normal people can break, let alone that of a working mother with only one daughter and a small apartment.

He immediately got up from his chair and called for the two very surprised officers to leave:

I would ask you to leave! I'm trying to talk to my daughter's head! - it's lucky that he was able to calm himself down enough, because he didn't need much, so that his constantly pounding blood pressure wouldn't beat the sky.

What an impossible idea that her ex-husband could be involved in something! - thought. Yet it sounded very realistic from the mouths of both policemen that her ex-husband's violent nature pulled the plug on the investigative authorities as well!

The lion's share of the work that day was intended for his daughter anyway - at least as far as most of the housework was concerned - so as he deemed it unnecessary to cause more panic at his workplace, he voluntarily restrained himself and went home a little earlier so that he could definitely talk to his daughter.

Meanwhile, Vicky and Dorothy found an abandoned, smaller cave-like recess in the fortified part, which, apart from the terrifying darkness, was a real salvation in the hellish, hot summer weather with its pleasant cool air!

Look over there Dorothy! That's so cool! It's quite fantastic what nature can't do! – Vicky took a few steps, and although her extravagant and tough friend was the braver one, somehow now she could feel much more balanced and confident that she dared to go into a dark and unrecognizable place alone.

You! Pay attention! I don't want to interrupt, but I think it would be better if we turned back instead! The others are definitely looking for us too!

Say this to someone who, if he could put spikes in his whole body and drill metal holes! I'll bet my entire monthly pocket money that you even got your tongue pierced!

It's none of your business anyway! There are things you have no idea about, girl! - he answered, and his whole body felt how the poisonous adrenaline demanded priority.

I think it's a damn good thing that only the two of us know about the existence of this place, don't you? Just think how cool it would be if we held literature or English classes here! The place has a special charm! It's as if one feels that it's huss and has already inhaled it!

I think you should focus on the lighter before you run out of gas!

- Indeed! It's out of my head! Isn't there some dry twig, or branch, or some wood around here somewhere that we can make a torch from?! - she looked around, and her friend immediately realized that she could search, because those who seek will certainly find.

How about some used chocolate wrappers and an old washcloth that's dry?

That'll do for a start! – with creative and imaginative skills, he first unwrapped the used dishcloth, then all the chocolate wrappers were wrapped in the used rag, and finally Vicky lit it!

After a few moments, they managed to escape a bright torch as they penetrated deeper and deeper into the mouth of the cave.

I think it's been frank! At least temporarily we can see
