In the picture Milapia is pointing to the triplet witches the principals of the organization they are about to join. With her long, thick finger, she reminds them of the commitments (or commandments I should say) each witch has to obey to be able to belong to the Springfield witches sect. The other three are listening in deep attention, and pleasure. In their piggy eyes is clearly visible how much they enjoy the moment.
-Sisters –Milapia says- today you belong to the most famous and honorable supernatural group. However, to become an active member you need to do something horrendous, a despicable act of murder. The devil should smile three times tonight when each of you performs the darkest baptism.
But first, let’s hear once more our 6 commandments:
- Thou shall laugh with an evil laugh
- Thou shall play tricks on really nice people
- Thou shall drink blood and eat eyeballs
- Thou shall prepare really evil potions
- Thou shall make little kids suffer
- Thou shall feed from the hate of the people
Once more they smile, raise the cups and drink the familiar red liquid
In a big bag by Milapia something moves and howls softly, it can be an animal or perhaps a little kid, and it is definitely the source of her drinks.
-Olivia –asks Milapia- what will be your act of initiation?
Olivia the closest triplet to Milapia, increases her smile, opens her mouth and says:
There is an old woman that takes care of reverend John. He loves her profoundly; she has been his assistant for thirty years. I will go to her house, cut her throat, keep her blood and replace the Church wine with it!
After the last word an explosion of laughter makes the birds escape horrified.
-Excellent Olivia! –remarks Milapia- what about you Serania? –asks the middle triplet.
Serania does not feel comfortable. She dissolves her smile and reflects if her act of initiation will be significant enough, comparable to her sister. Then, pretending to be confident, she says:
Remember Lisa and Albert Olsen, the new couple that has just settled in the area?
The wife has just delivered two babies.
She pauses.
The other women raise their eyebrows and make strange pleasure purrs.
I will kill one in a simple way, just with a pillow in the middle of the night, then I will wait a few days until the couple barely recovers and will kill the other one, but at this time I will make one of the parents kill him by accident.
-Formidable! –Exclaims Milapia –but how will you achieve that?
Serania whispers something in the witch’s ears. Her face distorts and for a moment the three candidates think she will choke, and then a cascade of evil laughs once more makes the birds go away.
-Very creative –says Milapia –very very creative.
Well Winona, it is your turn now, tell us your plan.
Winona knows this is a big challenge, but she feels her initiation is comparable and may be even better than her sisters.
-I know that my neighbor’s son, Billy McCann, is in love with Loretta Ravioli, that cute blonde that lives behind the Walgreens of Madison and Oak Park Avenue. Billy is 17 and Loretta 15, sometimes they go behind the store garbage containers and do their dirty things there. Normally, it is she who waits for him. I will hang her and then take a potion to be her, then I will wait for the boy, and when we are in the middle of the love making I will be me again.
The last words are almost unrecognizable; she burst in high pitch laughs promptly followed by the other witches.
And once more they drink for the new members that soon will be terrorizing the suburb.
End
