Lilly

27

Standing outside the house of horrors Lilly took a deep breath in then let it out slowly .
Hidden under her hair she had an ear piece that looked like a regular ear bud headphone but it was a two way communicating piece there was a small speaker sewn in her shirt as a button .

" Alright Lilly your Father is in the kitchen his head is on the table , Be careful Lilly I mean it " Kota said in her ear.

" I will " she says softly as she turns the door knob.

Walking into the house she sees all the furniture is gone in the living room only boxes remain looking to her left she see the dining room it has no furniture either .

As she made her way towards the kitchen stopping in the doorway .
Lilly sees a flicker of movement in the corner of the room towards where the basement door is, it opens just a little she sees the eyes of Luke to which he nods at her .

Stepping purposely on the spot of the floor where it will creak to make noise.

Lilly watched her Father's head snap up his eyes were wide blood shot and glazed over looking around the room when his eyes landed on her she felt the room temperature drop.

He rubbed his eyes as if he was trying to clear them or to make sure he was seeing her or a figment of his imagination.

" Hello Father " Lilly says channeling her inner Owen.

Her father moved out of the chair slamming her against the wall his arm over her throat.
" How dare you leave , How dare you walk back into my home looking like the slut you are " He growls at her his breath is disgusting smelling like he ate an ash tray followed by drinking cheap liquor.

Lilly kept calm on the outside even though she was terrified she didn't want him to have any power over her .

Instead of trying to pry his arm off her throat she did what Nathan taught her she stepped hard on the inside of his foot it caused him to stumble back relieving the pressure on her throat and allowing her to move from the wall.

" You bitch " he yells

"Fuck you " Lilly yells back her eyes are focused on him.

"Oh I plan on it " he says reaching for her arm.

Flinching she keeps her arm out of his reach.

Lilly watched the anger rise even more in him when he didn't get her arm .

"You think you are going to walk out of here don't you " He says moving towards her again

"Oh I know I will but you might not " Lilly says changing her stance.

She waits for him to strike not wanting to give anything away , She sees Luke move from the basement door to the hallway then Raven comes in behind him she sees the shine of his gun already pulled and ready .

Her father stood with in a few inches of her staring her down , Lilly didn't back down she stared right back repeating to herself I will not Back Down from him I will destroy him .

" So you think you will defeat me, That you can beat me don't you " He says keeping eye contact with her .

" Oh I know I will Father because I am better than you , Stronger than you, I am a Fighter I will not let you win You will have to kill me like you killed my child " She spat back at him .
