Phantom Blood - Chapter 3
Résumé
En cherchant sa montre dans son bureau, Jonathan voit Dio du coin de l’œil, qui a volé la montre et prévoit de l’utiliser pour la journée. Jonathan se sent mal à l’aise, et suppose qu’il ne reverra jamais cette montre. Dio remarque un Masque de Pierre accroché au mur et l’abaisse pour voir de plus près. En voyant cela, George explique qu’il était censé provenir de la culture aztèque, et qu’il avait acheté le masque dans une galerie à Londres peu de temps après la naissance de Jonathan. L’accident de voiture s’est produit sur le chemin du retour de cette même galerie, et George le garde sur le mur à la place du portrait de sa femme. George se demande si Dio est intéressé par le masque, mais Dio le rejette.
In the surrounding countryside, Jonathan is playing with Danny while smoking a pipe in a large tree. When a group of local boys passes by, he calls out to them and invites them to join him because there are no adults around but they pass him by, claiming that JoJo would rat out all of their plans. Jonathan concludes that Dio has been spreading rumors about him so that no one would want to make friends with him. Jonathan reflects on how he is always being compared to Dio and that his life had fallen to pieces as soon as he arrived at their house. He pets Danny, grateful that he will remain with him no matter what Dio does. Suddenly, Jonathan sees a girl looking at him from behind a nearby tree; she runs away, leaving a basket of grapes on one of the branches. Jonathan recognizes her as the girl who had been bullied a mere few days ago. JoJo sees that she had cleaned his handkerchief as well, and wonders who she is.
The girl's name is Erina Pendleton, and Jonathan quickly finds himself falling for her. The two of them begin to spend time together, and on one occasion Jonathan invites Erina to the river to swim. While they relax at the riverbank, Jonathan takes out a knife and carves something into the nearby tree, albeit attempting to hide it shortly afterwards. Curious, Erina manages to get a peek at the tree and sees her and Jonathan's names surrounded by a heart. She blushes and calls him a scoundrel, but before long the two begin playing again. After happily parting ways that evening, Erina is abruptly confronted by Dio who notes that she must be the reason Jonathan has been happier than normal in recent days. Dio grabs Erina and forcibly kisses her, the two youths who had accompanied him awe at Dio's boldness.
