(PoV)NIGHT OF MARDI GRAS
20:30PM"Get away from me!" "NO!" "I don't want to dance with you!" I keep saying to these really annoying drunk guys who won't leave.
"Hey Foxy Mama, You smell kinda pretty. Wanna smell me? Hoo-hah!" Says one of the guys, pretending to be Johnny Bravo.
"No! Leave me alone" I say pushing him off"No need to be so mean, we just want to talk to you " says the guys friend, walking towards me.I start backing up, trying to get away from them when someone from behind me wraps an arm around my waist "where do you ththink yourrrr gooingg" the culprit slurrs into my ear causing me to cringe from his foul breath."Get off of me!" I say trying to wriggle my way out of his disgusting grasp."Don't worry baby the three of us are going to take care of you real good" says ' ' Johnny Bravo's ' ' friend as he continues to approaChapter 20 — "The Tension Grows"3 YEARS AGOAnnie's POVNIGHT OF MARDI GRAS02:20 AMThe cold, lifeless body of Father Donnaly is heavy on top of me, the blood soaking through my clothes as I push him off with all my strength. The sound of his body hitting the floor echoes in the silent Church, and I freeze. My heartbeat is deafening in my ears, and I struggle to breathe. I glance around frantically, my eyes darting between the dark corners of the Church, expecting to see more shadows creeping toward me.I need to get out.With a surge of panic, I scramble to my feet, pushing away the horrific sight of the blood-soaked confessional booth and the priest’s body. I can’t look at him again. Not now. I turn toward the back door, but my foot slips in the pool of blood on the floor. My legs give way, and I stumble, catching myself on one of the pews.“Come on, Annie,” I mutter under my breath, wiping away the tears that threaten to fall. I can’t let myself fall apart now. I’m so close to es
3 YEARS AGO MATTEO'S POV NIGHT OF MARDI GRAS02:20amJust before Father Donnaly reaches for the bag he carried up earlier, I manage to grab him and yank him backwards where he lands face first on the Church floor."Aahh!" "Hellppp" he screams, trying to alert who ever else is in the Church with him.Annoyed at my inability to keep him quiet, I angrily grab one of the pointy brass candle stick holders and stab it directly into Father Donnaly's Left eye, causing him to scream in pain."Aaahhhhh" he shreiks, blood spurting out from his empty eye socket, as I yank out the candle holder along with his eyeball."What's that noise?" I hear a couple men shout from the Church basement.Before they get up the stairs, I quickly slit father Donnaly's throat
3 YEARS AGO MATTEO'S POV NIGHT OF MARDI GRAS 02:00AMEverything is deathly quiet as I turn into the Church parking lot, which is completely empty except for an old maroon golf someone probably abandoned.Smiling, I enter the Church, thinking about all the jokes Adriano use to make about me catching fire if I ever were to enter one.Guess God still thinks my soul can be saved I think bitterly, but that will probably change by the time I leave.....because I have always been and will always be a killer. Nothing can change that.As soon as I enter I see a priest walking up from what I assume to be the Church basement.As soon as his eyes meet mine they widen in shock and he
3 YEARS AGOANNIE'S POVNIGHT OF MARDI GRAS02:00AMBy the time I arrive at the Saint Louis Church it's already almost 02:00am and roads around are all extremely quiet, I guess living on the outskirts of town didn't help much.Once I park in the empty parking lot outside the Church, I quickly jump off and head in towards the Church."Klara?, Klara?" I whisper, trying to find her.The Church is giving off an eerie feel and I feel like I'm in a horror movie. Gulping down my fear I force myself to open the giant Church door. It makes a creaking sound as I open it, bringing attention to the fact that the Church is completely empty. "Klara?" I whisper again, so softly I doubt she would here me if she actually is here. As I walk between the pews to the front of the Church I hear someone. " No you idiot! unload them first! Are you trying to shoot someone!!" I hear a man

Matteo asks, only now noticing the absence of our missing companions. "They had to sort something's out with an officer" I reply vaguely. "I told you that you should have just let me bribe them, we would have already had the police in our pockets by now if you hadn't stopped me." "Bribes cause greed, blackmail creates loyalty" I remind my brother, making him shake his head and walk away. But, despite my brothers reservations, I know from presonal experience that blackmail is way more powerfu
3 YEARS AGOAnnie(PoV)NIGHT OF MARDI GRAS11:45pm“shit! I think staring at my phone, it’s almost 12 already. I felt so guilty bailing on Klara and even more guilty, about not being able to tell her why I bailed.I thought that I would still be able to make it after picking my mom up from the hospital, but it took longer than I expected it to, and it didn’t help that she was so drunk.“Klara’s probably home by now” I think out loud to myself. Maybe I should phone to apologise, I think, still feeling guilty.Nervously, I start to dial her number.“Hello”, she answers. “Omg, Klara I’m so sorry I couldn’t come, I swear I was going to but, it’s just………something came up” I blurt out all at once without taking a breath.“I don’t want to hear it Annie” She yells though the phone, making me flinch.“I’m sorry Klara, honestly and besides at least you got to spend time with Igor” I remind, trying to
