The henchman’s jaws dropped watching her whip their boss. Colin had to admit, it was incredibly confusing even to him how the tables turned.

Colin watched stony faced as Olivia let out a little grunt with every whip of the belt. Carmichael let out a little whimper on a particularly vicious downstroke and she stopped mid swing. Standing there and breathing hard.

“What did I say?” she asked incredulously, almost with a laugh.

Carmichael’s eyes widened, and he started sniveling.

“Wait, no. I didn’t Kat! I didn’t!” he said, his deep voice a few octaves higher. Colin grimaced as he saw his pants were tented. The man was getting off on this. He almost swallowed his tongue.

Motherfucker.

She walked around to face him, standing slightly to the same side the two henchmen were next to him, watching enraptured. Olivia looked at Carmichael with a stunned expression on her face.

“Yes you did. Yes you did!” Olivia said with a laugh. “Soooo, now you’re an embarrassment and a liar? Daniel, what happened to you while I was gone sweetheart? What the hell? I’m so confused. You got us all out here in the fucking woods, in the fucking DARK!” she gasped, sounding annoyed. “Trying to make me prove to everyone how good and worthy I am, and you can’t even fucking do what I asked you to do?” she bent to stare in his eyes for a second before she looked away scoffing, placing her hand on her head pensively.

In turmoil, she stared off at the trees in the distance before suddenly nodding to herself and dropping the belt. It hit with a thud and clank as it hit a spot of dirt where grass refused to grow. Her arm lowered and she turned her wild eyes to Carmichael once more.

“You know what, have him kill me!” she snarled into his face. “Apparently, I’m not worth it after all,” she said, turning and pointing to one of the henchmen.

Carmichael just kneeled there, his eyes flickering from Olivia’s to his men then back again. He shook his head minutely, disagreeing.

When no one moved, she walked up to the nearest man next to Colin, who was standing there shocked, giving her the opportunity to grab his gun and place the end of the barrel to her forehead.

Oh fuck no. No! Colin felt his heart stop. He let out a pained groan. Jonathan’s hand wrapped around his forearm and clenched down.

“Nooo!” Carmichael screamed, shuffling forward. “Derrick, don’t you fucking dare,” he roared. “She’s MINE!”

“I’m not good enough,” Olivia cried, closing her eyes, pressing the barrel of the gun harder into her head. “Pull the trigger Derrick!” she screamed at the henchman. Everyone jumped at her wild, unexpected shriek.

Oh my God, I could kill her myself. Matter of fact, I am. As soon as I get out of this, I'm burying her in the backyard so she can't go crazy ever again. Colin felt his heart suddenly racing at a breakneck speed, watching Olivia hold the man's gun to her head as if she was fearless.

“NO!” Carmichael yelled, clamoring awkwardly to his feet.

“I SAID PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER!” she screeched, spit flying out of her mouth as she stared at the blue-eyed henchman in his eyes down the barrel of his gun. “Pull it,” she whispered, both of her hands now wrapped around the barrel of the gun and taking a step forward, making her and the henchman move back about four feet behind Colin, Vanessa, and Jonathan.

“Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull it,” she began chanting, a little growl emitting from her throat. The henchman’s blue eyes widened, looking truly afraid, and his finger twitched on the trigger in the light of the car’s headlights. Their silhouettes stood in sharp relief of the lights, the only color visible was Olivia’s fiery red hair.

And in that brief moment, he saw what everyone else saw. Lilith. Chaotic, demonic, man eater Lilith. He shivered.

Fuck she was beautiful… otherworldly.

“Don’t you fucking DARE,” Carmichael screamed, pulling a gun out of nowhere and shooting Derrick in the head, missing Olivia by a fraction.

Colin watched in slow motion as blood sprayed everywhere, and the man hit the ground, his gun falling to the side unnoticed in the chaos erupting around them.

The three other henchmen slightly shuffled away with confused looks on their faces as they stared at their fellow comrade on the ground, a part of his face gone and blood pooling onto the ground under him.

Colin felt Jonathan wrap his arms around him and squeeze so hard that he felt a rib crack. He heard roaring echoing around the clearing, realizing it was coming from him. Jonathan yanked him back a few feet.

“Calm the fuck down. Look at what she’s doing stupid!” Jonathan growled in his ear. “Look at the power she has over this man. Chill the fuck out. Or you’re going to get us killed,” Jonathan hissed.

Colin panted, shaking in Jonathan’s hold, eyes straining to stay on Olivia.

Covered in blood, Olivia twisted around as if a man didn’t just get shot in front of her and looked at Carmichael, who was panting for air himself, looking half out of his mind.

“You naughty boy. Would you like me to help you stop making noise? I can do that thing you like now,” she said quietly, walking to him. Not even minding the gun in his hand. Carmichael sniveled; his eyes wide as he stared up at her in awe.

“Yes. Yes, please,” he whispered roughly. “I’d like that very much.”
