The Thunderstormby Oksanatranslated by Olga |
1Mason and Victoria started their honeymoon trip. At Mason's suggestion they were going to spend it in the mountains, at one of the Capwells' villas.When a small helicopter belonging to the corporation took off, the weather was fine, but as it was approaching the mountains the sky became overcast with heavy clouds. Victoria got scared. Mason threw his jacket onto her shoulders and held her tight, "Nothing to be afraid of, it's quite the usual thing in the mountains." The pilot peeped in the passenger compartment, "Mr. Capwell…". Mason entered the cockpit, "What is it?". "We got into a stormy cloud, I will try to land, or we are getting blown eastward." "Is it dangerous?" Mason asked anxiously. "I should say it's not so easy, but I have gotten out of worse situations," the pilot reassured. Mason came back to Victoria. "Has something happened?" she asked in a frightened voice. "No, everything is all right," Mason smiled. "We just have to land a bit earlier." He embraced Victoria. The small helicopter got thrown from side to side. The pilot talked to the dispatcher telling him the position data, called Mason in and pointed at a small spot next to a copse, "I'll try to land here." Mason nodded and went out to join Victoria. Suddenly a lightning flashed close at hand, the helicopter got jogged, then went spinning round and round, and finally started falling. The last thing Mason saw were the eyes of Victoria widened in horror. |
