On 8th August, the weather changes. Lucy is amazed by thunders, and she sits by the window all night. One morning, a ship wrecks on the shore, but there is no one on it, only a dog. The ship is full of big wooden boxes full of earth. Lucy and Mina go to the church, looking for the dog.
In the night, Mina wakes up and goes out, looking for Lucy, who is not in her bed. She goes to the church and finds Lucy, whith someone moving behind her. But when Mina reaches her firend, she is alone. Mina can see red marks on Lucy's throat.
