While we are drive out of town, Evelina started explain things to William. Meanwhile, suddenly, I remembered our local priest. I was a child.
"Thoughts are what keep us united, Lukas. Thoughts of Jesus one day smiling at us at the same dinner table with all other Catholics. I wait for that day. And for that, I do not fear Death."
I remember asking something that terrified him, his face twisted, his eyes wide with fear.
"My dear boy… What kind of devil whispered such blasphemous, heretical words to you?"
"What was it? what did I asked?"
Evelina touched my shoulder and said.
"You have to listen to this, Lukas!"
I sighed as I looked at him signed her that I was listening.
Then she started to explain what happened at Anna's place.
One and half hour ago
I looked at Lukas going to barber and I looked at the rest of group.
"Well, since Lukas gets to break early, it would not hurt to go to Lunch break early I think?"
Sander looked at me and said "it was us that told him to go to break early"
I looked at Sander and sighed.
"Come on Sander, the entire city is a nursing house anyway"
Sander looked at Steve and said "She is in her thirties"
I slowly hit Sander's shoulder and said "I am not a child!"
Steve then said "Come on let's go to Anna's place I am dying of hunger, why can't we just eat that new type of fish came out from the shores, Sander?"
Sander looked at Steve and said "I have a bad feeling about those things, I don't want you two to eat it"
We arrive at the police car and we entered, after 10 minute of driving we were at the place.
I was in my sick days so I looked at Steve, and asked.
"Steve, can you order for me as well? I need to go restroom"
Steve, looked at me with realization and whispered
"Ahh, you are sick okay I'll cover you" and pumped my shoulder
I nodded, and went to restroom.
After 10 minute I went to clean my hands meanwhile Anna, was staring at me.
I looked at Anna, I know she is always a bit flirty with me and kinda sad that I am getting married, I said "You want something dear?"
She immediately asked me "You are on your menstruation right?"
I looked at her with an confused face, I thought she was gonna ask me if I need anything
"I don't need anything thank you-"
Before I could leave she slammed her hand against the wall, blocking my way and then said
"Before you could leave I need to ask you something" She chuckled and then come so close to my ear and whispered
"Would you mind if I can lick your tampon?"
To our time
Before Evelina could continue William got disturbed and said
"Oh for fuck sake, Evelina, was that detail necessary?"
I could understand that William got disturbed, I was more or less uncomfortable too, I wasn't sure if it was an unnecessary detail though.
Evelina, looked at William with anger
"Do I look like I enjoy telling you all this? You guys are the only one I could tell all of this!"
William sighed and muttered "Jesus, what the hell is wrong with these people this day specifically"
I looked at Evelina, and said "You can continue, Evelina"
Evelina, sighed and said "Thank you, anyway"
Back to the past
It was so shocking I looked at Anna with pure disgust and pushed her
"What the fuck Anna? I know you and me have some little flirtings back in the day but this was just awful... disgusting even, do not speak to me again if you gonna keep doing this"
My disgust and anger made me slam the door behind her, I saw Steve and he said
"Come to second floor"
I looked back for a second and didn't saw Anna there, I only hoped that she just tried a terrible joke.
I went to second floor, I saw a new portrait.
It looked like some kind of old noble woman portrait
"Scary, isn't it?" Sander, looked at me with weary eyes
To our time
William, get a little emotional and said "Poor Sander"
William was a positive guy that liked everyone who they are and he sure did liked Sander.
Who didn't like that guy? he was not a charm guy but he was always a good listener and even though he didn't talked at all his few words were enough to keep every conversation.
Things are so fucked up right now we can't even mourn our friends death.
"I'm sorry Evelina, please continue"
Evelina looked at William, she is also a bit emotional
"You don't have to say sorry... well after that"
Back to past
After that, we sat on the chair and wait for the lunch everything was going great but something sure started to feel wrong or rather smell wrong.
There was a terrible smell coming from the downstairs, before we could even get up. Anna, come upstairs with 3 pizza box and told us.
"Fresh, Pizzas guys but please before opening it I have to say something"
The pizza was closed too tightly that we could not smell it, but surely something is wrong...
Something was very wrong with Anna, but I realized that until she put us in this situation we really didn't care about it.
Right... we didn't cared how long did we ignored all these terrible actions happened around us that we only cared if it involved directly to us.
Maybe that's why we are angry and afraid, maybe that's why my hand is on my gun right now.
"Can you look at this beautiful woman?"
Anna pointed the noble woman portrait we saw earlier.
"Her name is Elizabeth Bathory, old Hungarian Noble Woman, for me she is my everything"
Anna looked at us like a child explaing things to her parents, excited to tell every bit of detail,
"Isn't she looks so young? so charming?"
I looked at Steve and Sander and both of them also knew something is off.
Sander got annoyed already and said "This place is a pizza shop not a museum"
Anna looked at Sander and she seemed already pissed.
"You don't seem to understand, Pizza shop is not an excuse to not admire my beautiful wo-"
Sander interrupted Anna and said.
"Get that... thing out of my face, Anna"
Anna, immediately slammed her hands on the table that table and the pizzas jumped.
"Huh!?" she replied, her instant reaction made Sander even angrier and get up
"You have a problem with me not liking that scary looking thing!?"
I could see the anger on Sander but her eyes were flaming even more
"What's that had to do with my beautiful Queen!? Our Queen shall be shown in everywhere! it does not matter if it's Pizza shop, Barber, Shore, Hospitals, Schools, Houses, Everything, and I mean Everything..."
Her anger and her voice was enough to make me afraid of her, what is going on with her? before we could even understand what is going on she continued
"Our Queen shall be shown everywere. Her beauty, her ideals, her strength shall be known by all to you infidels!"
It was enough for Sander and he yelled "What are you talking about? infidels?"
Steve get up and pushed Anna and Sander
"That's enough... no need to push it further... we will eat our pizza and leave."
Anna looked at steve with confused face but she was smiling
Meanwhile, Sander's anger was nothing I saw before, it was the anger of an animal who is cornered by a predator.
This self defence... I am pretty sure he feels like he is in a helpless situation and he is trying to scare it's enemy.
this is very wrong we used to have fun with Anna all these years we always were here what happened to her?
before I could say anything Anna started to laugh and slowly opened the pizzas making it extra uncomfortable for us also her unusual long nails... what is going on?
She smiled at us and said.
"Who said these are yours?"
