Chapter 2.

¿Sheep in Wolf's Clothing or Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?

That autumn morning, little Anne was playing in the main garden and ended up meeting her older brother's best friend, who had come to visit.

Patrick, who had been locked in his room for four weeks, only leaving when strictly necessary, was studying and designing new chemical formulas. But that innocent and beautiful little angel didn't know about her beloved brother's plans, and her contagious and magical joy was a muse of inspiration, a very twisted one for Patrick's macabre mind...

Richthofen was always neutral, as if nothing could attract or accept him in the slightest, but even if he didn't admit it, the charisma and innocence of his best friend's sister, when he looked into her eyes, was like flying to another galaxy. As the hours, days, and weeks passed, neither of them left the room...

But thanks to their excellent grades and admirable academic record, no one asked questions, because few people studied the human body with as much devotion and dedication as those two teenagers did...

Chemistry was their prose, but technology was an open secret. They both had an interesting quality: photographic memory. They could solve everything without any problem. 

They were so stealthy that they had peeled off the tiles behind the bathtub in Patrick's bathroom and had managed to find the tunnel that connected the abandoned well at the bottom of the hacienda to both properties...

So the two spent most of their time working on circuits that clandestinely provided electricity, and in this way they had created a chamber beneath the bottom of the well without anyone noticing...

The place was soundproof and had been partially furnished with old furniture, but enough for them to work in peace and comfort. Tempus wanted to fulfill dark fantasies between animals and humans, while Nihilborn wanted to experiment with chemical formulas on human tissue…

Strangely enough, neither of them knew the other's desires for sure, and so, on December 25th at midnight, the little girl was kidnapped from her room…

Her brother, using a crow mask he had pre-designed and so that she wouldn't recognize him in the darkness, gagged her so no one would hear her screams, blindfolded her so she wouldn't know the way, and finally touched a nerve between her neck and collarbone, rendering her unconscious…

Then, he took her to that dungeon he had designed with Nihilborn, and they both participated in bathing her with boiling water to wake her up. The reaction was obviously human; her skin was burning; she was a little girl to his brother's macabre fantasies…

The way her body trembled was perfect before his brother's sadistic eyes and the emptiness of Nihilborn, the mixture of cold and heat was practically lethal, deadly to the girl's body, but Tempus knew he couldn't let her die, at least not yet, and so he left her tied up in that dark chamber and returned to sleep peacefully in his room as if nothing had happened.

But the symphony of screams in the morning could be heard everywhere: his mother crying and his father talking to the police. They opened the door to his room, searching for anything unusual, but there was nothing to hide. He was so calm and intrigued when he finally woke up that he continued with his normal routine without anyone suspecting him at all.
