.If you murder it, you're just." He fell silent, because that's what Martin had done and he was the same blood as them.Did they think they were better than Martin, than all the ones who came before?"It's about individuals," Alex said softly, his hands holding his wheels still as he looked up at Terry."You choose to respond.It's your choice." He fell silent and took over maneuvering the wheelchair on the smoother ground as Terry moved up to walk beside him."You're right; it is beautiful," Terry admitted."And don't worry, I'm not going to shoot it." Alex nodded decisively, and that seemed to close that conversation."I wanted to stop in and see Crazy Bill too." Terry tried to say it nonchalantly, but Alex's sudden knowing grin ended his hopes for that.He slapped his brother upside the head.Alex chuckled as he maneuvered out of reach."Great! Let's not take the truck.It's not that far." Terry nodded amiably.Bill Sventon lived on the other side of town, but if Alex wanted to get some air Terry was that last person to tell him no.They talked about stupid, unimportant things as they walked the quiet streets of the town, and it was almost as if Terry were able to forget the last seven years and just chat with one of his high school friends again.There was no hostility between him and his brother, not even the simmering disquiet that lingered between Terry and his father, but they had never been particularly close.Theirs was a family that didn't do close especially well.By the time Terry reached an age when having a little brother who followed him around everywhere was less embarrassing, the accident had effectively isolated Alex, and then Terry's relationship with their father had soured to the point where every waking moment he wasn't working and saving money he was looking for a way out of town.When he'd finally left town, just over three years ago now, he hadn't known his brother any better than he'd known the tag-along kid who had trailed in his shadow.When unexpected homesickness had driven him to write home almost a year ago now, he'd found that not only was Alex an excellent correspondent, but also they had a lot more in common than Terry would have suspected.He was teasing Alex now about a girl Alex had graduated with whose older sister had been in the grade below Terry's when they arrived at the Sventon house.It wasn't particularly inviting, which only added to Crazy Bill's persona.Terry paused; maybe they should have announced they were planning on coming, called ahead? He didn't want to interrupt the man, particularly if it involved cleaning firearms or knife throwing practice.But Alex just pushed past him, rolled right up the convenient ramp, went to the door, and knocked.Terry sighed and joined him.The door pulled open to reveal an elderly gentleman—thin as a rake and hard as a snake as their mother would have said—and it occurred to Terry that he didn't think he'd ever actually looked at Crazy Bill before this, only caught sight of him in snatches before he looked away in embarrassment.He wasn't bad looking; rather, Terry thought he must have been quite handsome when he'd been younger.Bill looked them over carefully, but his expression was more asocial than the wariness Terry had expected."What do you boys want?" Bill asked."We wanted to ask you about the hunt of the Cold Moon, sir," Alex replied, looking directly into the old man's eyes.Those eyes wandered past Alex to settle on Terry."So." The corner of his mouth twitched, but there was no further indication of what emotion Bill was feeling."You found something last night, didn't you?" He watched them for a long moment, then stepped away from the door, inviting them in without actually inviting them.Terry wouldn't have entered alone, but Alex was already trying to push the door open with one hand and maneuver his chair with the other.Terry sighed internally and held the door for his brother."Used to be every man in this town ran the hunt of the moon at least once a year," Bill was saying as he poured warm coffee into mugs and set two of them at places on the table.Alex rolled up and took one eagerly, sitting attentively, eyes on their host.Terry slunk up to the table and took his mug carefully, eyeing it warily.Bill continued, "The woods would be full of people, so many that it was almost not worth it to try to hunt anything else for days after.Wasn't until fairly recently, in the grand scheme of things, that a few families guarded the knowledge of the true hunt and kept it for their own." He snorted and sat at the table across from them."Not that that's entirely a bad thing." He frowned at Terry, his eyes heavy, and Terry wilted under the intense gaze."To run the solstice hunt without understanding it is barbaric."Alex perked up further [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
