Varian's Monster

¢нαρтєя тωєηту-єιgнт

What are we doing here?

I open the door to the abandoned church. Walls broken. Glass tainted. Hasn't been used for over sixty years. Hopefully they didn't move it. I know it's here. I lick the salty air from my lips. The air is old and dusted.

"We just need something." I say.

I walk forward.

What is that something?

"A weapon for fun." I say.

Fun?!

"Loosen up." I say.

I walk to the alter where the angel lay. She crumbles before me. Her breasts were cracked and covered in a dress of dust. I roll my eyes. I look up. The candles were out of course and were barely holding up. I turn to the mirror. Varian looks at me in confusion.

"What is this?!" He yells.

"My dear friend, this is a church, but it has a very tainted history." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

!!!

"What do you mean?" I ask.

Am I trapped in a mirror? 

"This church was built by a lovely family." He points to a dusted portrait.

I look at it. They all look creepy. Their faces look ghostly. They wore old fashioned clothing. They look angry and sad at the same time. My eyes narrow. What is his game here? Why is he telling me this story?

"The head, the father was named Antino Va Delete. Not the most creative name. But he founded the church and wanted to build it, but this church was not for God like purposes. It was to protect his true intentions." He says.

"What was that?" My voice quivers.

"What any noble family would do. Blood power. Money based on human trafficking. It lies under this church. If you listen, you could've heard the screams." He says.

Screams flood into my ears. I see flashing images of blood. Humans screaming. I blink several times. They start fading. I bite my lip. I really hate him. He turns to me. What is this horrible place?

"He was digging for something. A weapon. A cursed weapon. A weapon from the blood of many their family's slaughter. Long story short they found it. However, the 'police' came knocking on the door. Slaughtered them all but they hid this weapon." He says.

"Hid it where?" I ask.

He smashes the angel. I see a red dagger. He takes it out.

"What are you planning on doing?" I ask.

"The ultimate hunt." He smiles.
