"Listen to me carefully, My dear, Lukas. God told us that we do not live in heaven, but God never told us we do not live in hell."
I never understood what my childhood priest told me.
The only thing I could remember of him as that I used to call him Father. Oh and also his weird mystery sentences.
I lived a life as Policeman and if there should be someone who see hell, it should have been me.
I usually walk around town like a fool, saw no serious crimes in years or maybe even saw any serious crime at all.
not a terrible life of course, but very boring.
"How boring..." I muttered to myself.
"Hey, Lukas!" I saw my work friends, they usually go near shore to 'check' the places but they only go there to watch the sea
"Looks like Sailors are not doing any crime"
Before I could continue on my mockery, Evelina grabbed my hair
"I thought you were gonna cut this abysmal of hair"
Evelina, she is a bratty and very annoying girl who tries to play the leader of the group
Sander, who is the actual leader of the group grabbed Evelina's shoulder "Evelina, stop grabbing his hair like a child"
William and Steve laughed, William is actually one of the only people who I can tolerate, meanwhile Steve is the 'dumb' of the group.
I still can't believe these four are my friend but still these are the only people who tolerate me as I tolerate them.
Evelina stopped touching my hair and said "A bird can rent your hair as a three plus one apartment"
I looked at Evelina as annoying as I can and replied "What if I do want to rent my hair?"
Sander looked at William and said "It's about lunch time anyway. William, go with Lukas to Velnias's barber shop. We will be on Anna's pizza place as usual"
William put his arm on my shoulder and said "We got things to talk about anyway, let's go before you actually try to rent that thing" William laughed.
After a little, William looked back as he saw the other three is far enough.
William looked at me and said "You know she is just trying to spend more time with you specifically"
I replied "She will be married end of this year, why she wanna spend more time with his ex boyfriend? that's kinda weird"
She is used to be my Girlfriend, but it was about two years ago, which is good enough time to forget about past times and be friends again
I then continued "Also grabbing my hair like we are in damn kindergarten is not the best idea to 'spend' time"
William sighed "Fine I accept that she is not mature enough, but at least she shows that she loves us, isn't that enough?"
I looked at William in a way that said I didn't care.
William chuckled "Oh, I know that face, whatever man"
I saw how William got slightly annoyed so I wanted to end the conversation in a better way so I decided to explain my actual thoughts.
"Look, William. You know I don't like being around her ever since that day, we are sure friends but there is still a part of me that being near her makes me feel disturbed and uncomfortable"
I looked at the time and saw there is not that much time before reaching to Velnias's place
I continued, "Also what happens if something happens during these hours? like a crime-"
William laughed and pulled out his phone "Yes Sir? no, sir! there are no crime for like two weeks now oh if you count a child stealing a lady's purse then we got no crime for like six days now"
I chuckled and replied "Fine, you got me there"
We both laughed as we finally reached at Velnias's place
Morena, Wife of Velnias opened the door to us
"Come on in, Gentleman. It's always nice to see our brave police in here"
William hugged Morena.
"Morena! it's nice to see you! I see you lose some weight"
Morena laughed, "Oh I know you are lying, William, but thank you"
William replied, "Oh, come on... why would I lie? And look who I brought here? You're not gonna believe this!"
When Morena saw me her eyes got wide opened "Ah- Really?" Morena and William chuckled
"Ohh, no way. Isn't it our mysterious Lukas. You know my fifteen year old daughter like you always wears black, doesn't listens to anything we say and a huge pain in my ass"
Morena looked at both of us and chuckled
"Ah, it would be nice if I could cut both of your hair but one of you miss something"
William looked at me and said "Oh, come on now Morena... I didn't wanted to be bald either"
Morena chuckled as I sit on the chair, then I saw morena grabbing her scissors then I said
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Wait. I don't like how you cut my hair where is your husband, Uncle Velnias?"
Morena stopped a little... to much. After a bit she nervously laughed and said
"Ahh... he's not here today. So let me cut your hair this time."
I was about to get up but William hold me.
"Nuh-uh, You know exactly what she will do if you try to leave now"
I sighed again and regretted everything
"Fine... but please I want to keep a little bit of hair this time."
She smiled devilishly and got to work. As she started to work on my hair possibly destroying it.
Meanwhile, I found my thoughts drifting again, back to the old days.
The day me and Evelina broke up was on my mind again even though it was 2 years ago.
We both had fun times but I already accepted that we are now friends who failed to be partners but now that she is marrying... why I feel like this, is it... envy?
Edgar is a really good guy he is currently at England working in a medical place, she deserves a man like her indeed...
But a part of me tells me-
"What the fu-"
I heared William's terrified voice, I tried to look at William but before I could look at my back I saw...
I saw...
It was Uncle Velnias.
Carrying a... dead body?
After another look my fear and disgust rised up significantly
I saw her daughter, the girl who talked to me and admired how I dressed, how I talked, she literally wanted to be like me and now I saw her... dead...
To my fear, I was able to look at another second and I saw her eyes are gone, there was bite marks around all of her body but I saw no part of her eaten,
I could only ask, myself what the actual fuck is going on
My hand moved on its own, already reaching for my gun, but before I could even breathe Cold metal against my throat.
"Why didn't you just wait? Why didn't you just stayed there..."
Morela's cold icy voice sent a shiver down my spine, but also some kind of different fear as she also sounded so desperate... it was her anymore?
Seeing William already took his gun and pointing at Velnius was a bit relief but still, a cold sharp scissor is on my neck and I could die at any time.
"Wha- What is going on..."
I could also hear how confused and scared William was
Before we could get out of our shock Velnius dropped her on the ground and said in a terrible voice
"Morena... help me cut her in half"
Velnias's didn't even cared neither of us being here, is he even can hear or see anymore? is he this bloodlusted for eating his child? no...
I know Velnias, he was the same guy who got mad at me just because he though I was influencing her life
It was enough for me that I took my gun and tried to shoot but I missed, he stayed absolutely still but my hands were shaking and at that moment I hesitated and barely took the shot
The shot made Morena screamed.
"Wait! I can explain... we didn't wanted to do this either but we can't take it anymore!"
Her desperation and screaming... I wanted to puke, this is the first time we felt this much disgusted and terrified
"What is going on Morena! explain what! what the fuck is this!" I knew William's anger is just out of fear
Morena kept screaming and crying and then yelled
"We can't take it anymore! We want blood!"
