40 Vengeance

Elsewhere in the city a woman danced in her room to loud music playing. She waved around cleavers soaked in blood and she gleefully danced. Her performance was meant for a black goat statue surrounded by candles. "Oh, great mast of the eternal dark, am I not doing you proud?!" She said to the statue. "I have brought you the blood of so many families, families that you did not have. They scoffed at your glory, your beauty! I made them pay! I taught them a lesson they will never forget. Oh, the looks they give me right before they pass out. Oh! It's orgasmic. Thank you, my lord, for this honor you have bestowed upon me. I shall rid this world of all the unbelievers in your name!"

As she finished speaking, she stopped her dance and set the knives down next to the statue. "Man, that also tires me out." She said as she stood back up, having bent over to place the knives. She sniffed herself. "Whew, I need a shower." She walked to her bathroom, a newspaper hung from her wall, a particular event circled in red. She smiled as she walked past. "Soon my lord shall have another offering!"

She took her shower and walked to her washing machine and dryer. She opened the dryer and took out a delivery uniform. She flipped it from front to back and looked all around. "Fantastic, all the blood came out." She said. "Another miracle from my lord no doubt." Happy she took the uniform and placed It on her bed.

On a table in her room sat vails of different chemicals. She picked them up and poured exact amounts into a single container. She was extremely careful not to mess up. "A little bit of this and a little bit of that, and they all pass out from my gas!" She said almost singing it. Happy with her mixture she sealed her container and placed it inside of a pizza box. The box was rigged so that the container would be open and release the gas vapors as the box opened. Feeling prepared she decided to go to bed and slept until the next day.

When she woke up, she washed her hair, brushed her teeth, and put on her delivery uniform. She then picked up her jacket which had extra compartments to hide her knives. She walked over to the statue and rubbed its head. "Hopefully this will be your best offering yet." She said. "I can't wait until all of my hard work brings you into this world." She then picked her knives up and placed them into her jacket's compartments.

Prepared she grabbed her pizza box and a specially designed face mask that blocked the gas's influence. She put it all in her car and began to drive to her destination.

Meanwhile the detective had sent all units to her event she was guarding. Police were stationed at every possible feeder road in an attempt to limit escape, or to try and indemnify the unknown suspect before anything could happen.

Zell waited and watched outside the house he was guarding. He hid in nearby trees so that he would not be seen, but still had a good view of the property. Everything was looking normal for a birthday party. Guests arrived one at a time and a pizza delivery car appeared. Zell watched the pizza delivery woman go to the door and knock on it.

The door opened to the party's host. "Yes?" They asked. Noticing the pizza, they quickly responded. "Oh, you must have the wrong house dear, we didn't order any pizza."

"that's right sir." She replied with a smile. "The company I work for is called speedy pizza, and we are running a promotion. We notice parties in the paper and deliver you a pizza free of charge. We hope that the pizza is so delicious you will come to us for all your future pizza needs."

"That's fine I guess." He said. "You can hand it over."

"I am sorry sir." She replied. "It is company policy that I take it inside and open it for you on a secure location. We would not want you to accidentally drop and ruin your free pizza."

"Just give me the pizza." He replied. "I will tell your boss you did a good job if he asks."

"I am sorry sir, but there is a camera pointed at me from the car." She insisted. "If I fail to go inside, I will lose my job and be unable to pay my bills. I will find myself out on the street, homeless and penniless. Please just let me do my job sir."

A voice could be heard from inside. "Just let the poor girl do her job!" They yelled.

"Fine." He sighed as he fully opened the door and let her inside.

Outside Zell continued his watch, curious as to why the pizza delivery woman went inside. "That's odd."

[What is odd.] Anna asked.

[In all my years of ordering pizza, not once did they ever go inside my house.] Zell replied.

He waited a few minutes but there was no movement from the house. "Something isn't right." Zell said to himself leaving his hiding spot. He walked over to the door and knocked on it.

The door flew open revealing a woman in a pizza outfit. "Oh, hello there!" She said with a sadistic smile on her face. "Come in, we are about to eat!" She reached out and grabbed Zell's arm and pulled him inside before he could react. As soon as he was inside, she slammed the door behind him.

He looked around and noticed the unconscious people on the floor. "So, it was you." He said. "You are the bitch that killed my family?!" He yelled and he reached out his hand and shot out a bolt of lightning, striking her and slamming her against the wall. "You ruined my life! I was happy and could have gotten to see my grandchildren grow up! You took that away from me!" He continued to yell as he walked over to her unconscious smoking body. He wrapped his hands around her neck and began to squeeze as tightly as he could. Every so often his anger would spike, and he would jerk slamming her head into the wall behind her. Her body became limp as she died. Blood poured from the back of her head, a hole in the wall behind her, proof of the force used. Zell continued to choke her as tears began to run down his cheeks.

"I did it." He said. "I got the justice you all deserved. You can rest in peace now, my family." Zell let go of her corpse and stood back up. He looked down on her broken, burnt, lifeless body and still felt a rage bubbling inside of him. He spit on her corpse and then vanished without a trace.
