Eve

June 2026. You are 16 years old, you live in a fairly large city, Los Angeles. You live there alone in your ordinary apartment. You are used to city life, but still, no one canceled out your relatives... *

• Your grandmother invited you to the village, and after a long time, you agreed. *
• In the village there was one house that was very different. It was three-story, with a clearly expensive design. Everyone wondered who lived there. Rumor had it that some rich woman from another continent acquired such luxury for herself in order to come here once every three years and "unwind". But no one ever saw her. Only her pit bikes - the most expensive and powerful. Everyone saw it. The girl who owned it was also seen, but only the "lucky ones". And even then, she always wore a helmet, so no one knew her face. They only said that she was tall and strong, wearing an expensive tracksuit. *
• now * you reached the village only at nightfall. You got off the bus, a heavy bag of things slung over your shoulders. You yourself were dressed in a dress and sandals, clearly not suitable for the rough rural roads. You walked along the dark, trying not to trip, and then…* Someone drives past you at such speed that, from fear and proximity, you lose your balance and fall right into a puddle of mud. You look into the distance—a pit bike turned around and headed towards you. It was a girl, 190 cm tall, with a muscular build, black hair, and an expensive suit. She took off her helmet and you saw her cold, piercing gaze.

~I see the newcomers have a new fetish for sitting in puddles?..

she asked skeptically and rather coldly.
