3. The tattooed clown

Trigger warning ⚠️ [18+] contains rape, gore, violence.

Pa stiffens.

He kisses Lily and Ma one last time before reluctantly letting go. Giving his family the protection of his body. Ma clutches Lily's fidgeting hands with her equally shaky own, pulling Lily to herself, protectively.

The power flickers for a second. Pa takes the opportunity to comport himself.

"Cirillo Deimos." Pa says in a frost voice.

Goosebumps creeps all over Lily's body. Her Pa was always warm. This new demeanor is new territory. One which Lily is not excited to explore.

Lily dares to peak through her lashes and beholds a wickedly tall and handsome man who casually leans against the door jamb of the living room. Deimos is rough on all edges, there's nothing soft about him coupled with his piercing, icy gray eyes. He's dressed in a similar suit like Pa whenever he left the island for business, only that this intruder doesn't have his jacket on and his white sleeves are rolled up to his elbow. The alien has ink all over him. His tattoos are unsettling. Lily has never seen anyone with that much tats. He's inked on one side of his face. On the side of his shaved head. A button or two of his shirt is open, even more tats are peeking out. There's more inked on his face, above his eyebrow...on his knuckles, on his hands...

...the one currently pointing an AK- 47 at her father.

And the way Deimos' lips curves upward at Pa has Lily's tummy turning. Not in a good way at all.

"Why don't we go to my office and iron things out like two made men." Pa's eyes are glued on the gun as he put up his hands in surrender.

Deimos is quiet for a second as his intimidating smile gradually transforms to a smirk. "You aroused the grim reaper and now he has come knocking on your doorstep. You're inviting him in for tea?" Deimos barks out a wicked laugh. The laugh comes out ugly. Sinister. Absolutely terrifying. Lily shivers hanging onto her mother. "You got balls, Marcello?" he probes. 

"I – "Pa starts.

But Deimos is not done talking. "You're a fucking traitor, Marcello. You broke omerta. Yapping your cunt mouth like a helpless, mad dog with a dangling bone.  You knew the rules. You broke them. And now, you'll take full responsibility." He nudges his head at Ma and Lily. Lily catches his penetrating dark eyes for a second, and his eyes are drunk with a lust Lily doesn't understand. It's the kind of lust you see in the demon's eyes in horror films – just before they gave you the scare of your life.  Deimos looks them over like they were an unwanted smudge on his crisp white shirt. His tone maintains the bore air but low and malicious as he continues.  "You and everyone who shares your disgusting bloodline. The only thing that will be ironed out this night is your blood from my dagger."

Lily muffles a low cry, cupping her mouth with her free hand. She doesn't want to be noticed. She just wants the intruders to go away and let her family be.
