"God told us that we do not live in heaven, but God never told us we do not live in hell." Thats what my local priest told me. However I never understood the last part, I never experienced heaven but I never felt hell either. I lived a life of policeman, did catch some criminals, but I mostly wandered around town like a fool all day... not terrible but definitely boring. "What a boring life" I muttered to myself.
"Hey, Lukas" I looked up and saw my other work buddies. They usually walk around town to find some fun, It always ends up with them going to the shore and watching the sea for hours "Hey" I replied, "It seems like no crime in town" my work friends were always a group of five people, including me, Evelina Liepa, Sander Balodis, Steve Storm, William Aduke Keitha, and lastly me, Lukas Thurzo. Evelina touched my hair and said "You told me you were about to cut your hair, Lukas? come on it's been a week now... a bird can rent this house as two plus one apartment" even though she was right I always kinda hate it when people tell me what I should do before even thinking like what if I want it this way? "Maybe I should rent my hair no? also I can't leave the job right now" Evelina looked annoyed and slightly pushed me "Go to barber now, Lukas. The entire town is a nursing house anyway, nothing is going to happen" William put his arm around my shoulder and smiled "Don't worry I can go with you, also I got things to tell" even though I hated being ordered and hated that evelina always pushes people to do things... even though that's supposed to be a good way to encourage people I never liked it "I think I have no choice now" meanwhile the other group went the other way me and William begin to walk to barber
William sighed and slowed down "You know she just wants us to be more mature about our lives, ever since she decided to marry Edgar... she wants to see we can do on our own" I realized he was going to do one of his long talks, so I started walking faster and said... "Like we ever needed a mother in our group, the reason I stopped walking with you all is to stop listening to someone constantly giving me advice... I've had enough of that from our chief" William looked a little upset but tried not to show it, William was always a guy that liked being in group "William, we are still cops. We are nothing but some bunch of working buddies that look after people, right now I am forced to take a haircut like what if something happens right now?" William chuckled a bit "Even you are not believing this crap, L" I got annoyed because for years this group kept calling me L, like some high school "Do not 'L', me we are not children like can't we just talk about recent crimes?" William tooked out of his phone and pretend to be on the call "yeah, chief? no, sir, we didn't had any crime since 2 weeks ago and it's just a kid stealing a woman's purse, over." I sighed and answered "yeah, fair enough" William chuckled and we didn't said anything until we went to barber
Our barber, Morena. Opened the door and said "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" Morena laughed and replied "yeah, it would be nice too if you had any hair" William pretended to be annoyed "Ahh, come on now. Look who I brought here" Morena's eyes lit up when she saw me. "Ohh, no way. Isn't it our mysterious Lukas. You know my fifteen year old daughter like you always wears black and a huge pain in my ass" William and Morela laughed meanwhile I rolled up my eyes and sit on the chair "Yeah, Morena it's nice to see you too" Morena, tooked her scissors "So what type of haircut you want?" I looked around "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Wait. I don't like how you cut my hair where is your husband, Uncle Velnias?" Her expression shifted for a second "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, I found my thoughts drifting again
back to Evelina, the day we 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-"
Hearing this from William I looked at my right and...
I saw...
Velnias carrying a body, It took a second to register. A second too long. It was his daughter. Half-eaten.
My hand moved on its own, already reaching for my gun, but before I could even breathe Cold metal against my throat. Morela's cold icy voice sent a shiver down my spine "Why didn't you just wait" William already took his gun and pointing at Velnius "Wha- What is going on..." After my shock ends, Vilnius tried to took another bite I took my gun and tried to shoot but I missed, terrified Morela screamed "Please! We need it!" This is the first time me and William felt this much fear... disgusted terrified. William screamed "What is going on Morela!" Morela started to cry and only replied with screaming
"We need blood!"
