Werewolf. France

Events, which now will be discussed occurred in the French Auvergne region in the XVI century.

Lived in Auvergne at that time a gentleman by the name of Santos. He was not poor and could afford to do what I wanted. The estate of that person, where he lived together with his household, was on the mountain, but because of Sarah and his family all the time could admire the green slopes, rapid Creek, great forest and the peaks of distant mountains seen through a veil of mist. Quiet and secluded life for this man.

And so, one afternoon, in the spring of 1580, he, as usual, was sitting by the window, watching what is happening in the valley and waiting for the visit of his lawyer. Doing this he found the servant, who came to report on what came sir Feral, well-known in places a hunter and fisherman. The purpose of the visit was the invitation to a joint hunt for deer. But because Santos could not cancel the appointment, then the hunter had to leave with nothing. The attorney came at the appointed time and spent over an hour discussing the case with Mr. Santosham, the latter even forgot about the visit of each hunter. But then, after dinner, he suddenly remembered the day of the visit, as well as other pressing matters to this day he was not, he decided to meet his hunter. Santos quickly down into the valley and after a few minutes he saw on the opposite slope figure Perola, who was very much excited.

As soon as they passed, Santos immediately realized that with hunter there was something terrible: his dress was torn and covered with brown spots of blood. Yes, and the Feral could barely breathe and felt too depressed to answer questions. Some time, the landowner and the hunter walked in silence, but a little came a Feral broke down and very emotionally told about the incident, his experiences in the woods. The fact that in search of a deer he had a very long wander through the woods. Finally the luck turned to face him, and he saw a small herd of noble animals. Not to miss, he had to go into the thicket.

If you are going to return home, Feral suddenly heard a terrible roar coming from the overgrown thick grass of the gully. Careful not to rustle, the hunter staggered back and when he did about fifty steps from the ravine jumped a huge wolf. By pressing the trigger, Feral stumbled and it did not hit the target. The wolf took the hitch hunter and with a wild roar threw himself on his victim, trying to grab her throat. Fortunately, hunter had a good reaction, and without thinking, punched the wolf with the butt, causing him sprawled on the ground. However, the wolf was hardened and after a few seconds again attacked Perola. Beast and man came together for life and death. During this deadly duel the man managed to wound on the hand the cloak and thrust it into the mouth of a terrible beast.

While the wolf vainly tried to break his arm, the hunter, one after another striking him with his dagger, as heavy as a small hatchet. During the fight, the Feral and the wolf was rolling on the ground. At some point the paw of the beast caught the gnarled trunk, and the hunter managed to cut that. Wild animal sad howled and, after escaping from the clutches of a man disappeared in the thicket. Blood-spattered hunter came around and made sure that the whole piece; only on hand were small scratches from the teeth of a terrible predator. At first he intended to find a wounded wolf and finish him, but began to thicken twilight, and Feral decided to postpone the meeting with the monster at a more appropriate time.

Santos with a great interest listened to the story of his friend, and thus they quickly reached the garden of the landowner. Then hunter remembered that he had brought with him the severed paw of the beast, and offered Sanro-Shu to look in your bag for the game. But he gave him to get the trophy, produced in a fierce battle. Looking into the bag, Feral pulled something, and this "something" made him a deadly pallor and stifled a scream.

Leaning in, the landlord was out on the grass svezheokrashennoj human hand, the fingers of which was wearing a few rings. To my horror, Santos found out the wife's ring made in the shape of a spiral, with blue Topaz. Jettisoned from society confused hunter, Mr. Santos went home, taking with him a terrible trophy. The servant reported that his wife is back home and is now resting. Going into her bedroom, Santos found the woman in a semi-conscious state. She was deadly pale, and called the doctor barely managed to save her life, skillfully treating the wound, expressing surprise at the lack of the patient's wrist.

A few weeks the landlord was pondering how to start the conversation, but his wife eased his task, and she admitted that she is a werewolf. Without thinking, the husband reported the wife to the authorities, and after a series of horrific torture she confessed all their crimes. The final story — the execution by burning at the stake.
