Strange friendship.

Chapter 11: "Attack".

   When I opened my eyes, it was sunset. The red sun had just begun to set over the horizon. Turning around, I saw Darkness, which until now slept. I didn't want to wake him, but we had to keep going. I took his hand and shook it gently, and at that moment I was afraid of only one thing, that at the sight of me he would immediately run away. But then he slowly began to open his eyes, seeing me, he was scared and immediately said: "Forgive me, Tinky. I didn't want you to see me again."

—No, you forgive me - finally finding the strength to say it, I stepped in. "I wasn't supposed to yell at you. At the time, I thought you were just going to get in my way, I didn't want to worry about who I was seeing for the first time. But while you were away, I saw a soldier take care of a boy he saw for the first time. Immediately I remembered about you. At first I didn't understand why he was doing it, then it felt familiar, and now I remembered what it was. It's a sense of duty and care. It is my duty now to bring you safely to the station. I don't know if you want to forgive me."

—Tinky. I would have forgiven you anyway. The one with whom I traveled in the past, showed me that the main thing is to forgive your enemies. No matter how bad and evil they are. However, you were not alone all this time, I was with you."

Hearing this, I was very happy, the baby was there all the time, and he was able to forgive me. After that, I sat on my knees and hugged him.

—But how did you get trapped? Where have you been all this time? I asked, releasing him from my embrace.

—All this time I was among the leaves of the trees. When the morning began, I heard voices approaching you, they were a danger, and I decided to take them away, and then you know yourself.

—How's your foot? I asked, looking at the bandage that covered the huge gaps.

—All right. Thank you for curing me. Even though it wasn't necessary.

—What are you talking about?! I asked, not understanding.

—Look.  He said, and took off the bandage. I couldn't believe my eyes. In the wound now there was nothing, not even scars. "Everyone in my race is healing quickly. We can heal any wounds."

It surprised me so much that I couldn't say anything, I wondered what other abilities this boy had.

Having recovered from my surprise, I looked again towards the sun, which had almost disappeared, and said: "It is time to go. In the dark, of course, there's not much I see, but can not stand still".

—Don't worry Tinky. I'll help you see.

—Alright. Thank you. I said.

—I'll be there where it's dark, but with you. Said Darkness, and in another moment was gone.

And I went to the station again.

   After a while, night fell. Walking along the path, I suddenly heard Darkness's voice: "They know you. But you don't believe them."

—Whom? I asked, puzzled.

—Them, -  said Little, and then everything around me turned grey, and in the distance I saw red silhouettes that were coming my way. "They're red, they want to kill you. They might try to hide it, but you don't believe them."

—I understand, thank you, - I said to Darkness, and moved along the path to the side where the baby showed me the silhouettes.

A little later, a small detachment of infected newborns came out.

—Good night, Tinky Winky, - said the infected teletubbie with the blade for a hand.

—Good night, - I said. "Where are you going and why?»
