8 Wedding night

Chapter 8 Wedding night Victor did not warn his family about the monster. He was sure they, like the policeman, would think he was crazy. But, as the wedding approached, he became more and more nervous. He carried pistols and a dagger around with him all the time, and was constantly on the lookout.

第八章新婚之夜维克多没有警告他的家人关于怪物的事。 他确信他们和警察一样，会认为他疯了。 但是，随着婚礼的临近，他变得越来越紧张。 他随身带着一把手枪和一把匕首，时刻警惕着。

Elizabeth could see there was something wrong. "What's the matter?" she begged. "I'll explain after we're married." promised Victor. "I don't want to have any secrets from my wife! But for now, please don't ask questions..." The wedding took place one sunny morning. It was a small, family affair.

伊丽莎白看得出来有些不对劲。 “怎么了？”她恳求道。 “等我们结婚了我再解释。” 承诺的胜利者。“我不想对我妻子有任何秘密！”但现在，请不要问问题……” 婚礼在一个阳光明媚的早晨举行。 这是一个小小的家庭活动。

After the ceremony, the newlyweds set off for a honeymoon in Italy. It was a beautiful journey, past clear lakes and calm mountains. It all seemed so peaceful, Victor began to hope everything would be all right. The sun was sinking by the time they arrived at their hotel.

婚礼结束后，这对新婚夫妇动身去意大利度蜜月。 这是一次美丽的旅行，经过清澈的湖泊和平静的山脉。 一切似乎都很平静，维克多开始希望一切都会好起来。 他们到达旅馆时，太阳已经落山了。

Determined to keep Elizabeth safe, Victor asked her to go upstairs while he looked around. He checked everywhere, nervously fingering his pistol, but there was no sign of the monster. "Perhaps it's given up," he thought with relief. A shrill scream pierced the air. Elizabeth!

为了保证伊丽莎白的安全，维克多让她上楼，自己四处看看。 他找遍了每一个地方，紧张地用手摇着手枪，但没有看到怪物的踪影。 “也许它已经放弃了，”他如释重负地想。 一声尖叫划破了空气。 伊丽莎白!

He raced upstairs- but he was too late. His beloved wife's pale, lifeless body lay sprawled across their bed, the red marks of her murderer's fingers around her neck. "Noooo!" he howled. There was a loud, mocking laugh outside. Victor ran to the window, to see the monster leering up at him from below. He aimed his pistol at it and fired, but the creature dodged and ran away. Victor collapsed in sobs, as the hotel staff came running...

他跑上楼去——但是已经太晚了。 他深爱的妻子苍白的、毫无生气的尸体躺在他们的床上，她的脖子上有凶手手指留下的红色痕迹。 “不行！”外面传来一阵响亮的嘲弄的笑声。 维克多跑到窗前，看见怪物正从下面斜睨着他。 他用手枪瞄准它开了一枪，但那家伙躲开了，跑开了。 当酒店的工作人员跑过来时，维克多瘫倒在地啜泣着。
