Dead Army

Chapter 5

Clinton, Jackson, Mississippi

Lilith paced the hardwood floor of her suburban home in the quite town of Clinton forty minutes from the school in Jackson. Biting anxiously at her nails she glanced at the clock on the wall for the millionth time, pulling her phone out her pants and dailing his phone once again. "You reached the voicemail of Benjamin Smith, leave a mess.." She throw her phone onto the bed, the ground slightly shaking. She straightened her glasses and took a deep breath, relaxing herself until the house stopped shaking. The front door slammed shut as muffled feet walked across the room making the floor creek, making there up the carpeted stairs. The knob to the master bedroom rattled then turned as Benjamin's lean figured walked into the room. Fixing his glasses he looked at his wifes lived face before darting his eyes to the floor, shifting uncomfortably under her pricing stair. "Where have you been Benjamin?! I have waited three days for answers. No calls or texts. Explain now!" Her voice deep and rumbling as she grabbed his shirt throwing him into the arm chair in the room. "L-Lilith, m-my love. P-please the answers y-you wanted were hard to f-find." He stuttered. A loud slapping sound echoed the room as Lilith backhanded Benjamin's face, her teeth clentched, "I didn't ask how hard the job would be." She spook bitterly. Benjamin straightened up his hand holding his red face, his glasses lost across the room. "I have word." He quietly said. Lilith turned towards the desk in the room, leaning her small frame on the edge she looked at the man cowarding before her, she snickered "Well what is this word you heard?" She said. Keeping his head down Benjamin cleared his throat, "There has been some whispers amount the witch community that there is a secret village hidden in a mountain in Jackson." He waited quietly as Lilith pondered his words. She stood up her heels clicking on the hardwood as she made her way towards him. Benjamin flinched as Lilith raised her arm, resting her hand gently on his head. "I knew there was a reason I married you." Her voice gentle and sweet. A voice that would make the most of normal people's skin to crawl. He smiled up at his wife, happy to please her for a change. Making her way back to the desk she sat down in her black leather chair her hands crossed over the top. "Now Benjamin, do you know the location of this Village?" She turned toward the man. Looking down at his feet Benjamin shock his head slowly. Leaning her elbow on the desk now she tilted her head, "No, mm I see. But surely you know the name of the mountain?" Her voice giving off a fake feeling.  Benjamin cleared his throat shifting in his chair, "N-no my love." His voice cracked. He jumped as Lilith fist slammed down onto the wooden desk, slitting is hard frame in half. "Find me that village!" She yelled. Benjamin stummbled hurrying his way out here room, grabbing his coat as he ran out the door. Lilith fixed her hair, "Gabriel." She called out. The room shook and lights flickered as a man appeared. He's dark brown eyes scanned as he took in the room, "You called Miss?" He's voice roung, a vein bulging under his dark skin on his neck as his spook. Lilith made her way towards him, moving her pale hands over his muscular bicep.  He leaned his head down, eyes locked with the witch as she circled around him, her slim body pressed against him. "Oh darling today has been so stressful." She pouted. Standing behind him she trailed her slender fingers slowly up his arms, "I'm just dying for drink and maybe some fun." Her voice dark, her teeth sharpened the demon taking control. Her hand grabbed the side of his head tilting it enough to sink her teeth into his neck. A moan left his lip as she drank his blood, pulling off she wiped her mouth her face back to her pale face. She grabbed Gabriel's head pressing her lips onto her pump one. Snacking her tounge into her mouth she pushed him roundly down to his knees. She sank down onto her chair, she placed her heels on the broken desk on either side of his shoulders. Hooking her leg around his shoulder she coaxed him closer to her, "Make me feel better Gabriel." Her voice low and timid. He place his large palms on either side of her thighs gripping them as he lean his head down licking his tounge up her lips. The stress of the day melting away with his touch, leaning her head back she laced her fingers in his dark hair letting his tounge work away. She started to roll her hips on his face, as much as she loved this feeling there was much to be done today and this was ment to just be a quick relief. A loud moan slipped her lips as her stomach tightened, clentching around his tounge as she covered his face with her cum. Standing to his feet Gabriel pulled a handkerchief out his back pocket of his jeans, wiping his neck before cleaning his face off. Lilith stood, straightening her skirt, clearing her throat "Get one of the children to get rid of this and replace it before I'm back." She motioned towards her broken desk before her. Her heels clicked across the wood floor as she pulled open her office door, stepping out the room turning and looking back at Gabriel, "Oh, and let Harper and Rumple know to let the boys out. It's time for a hunt." She said her lips curled into a wicked smiled before she closed the door. She made her way down the stairway, grabbing her keys off the table before opening the front door. Stepping out into the warm summer air she made her way towards her Black Mercedes-Benz, pulling the driver door open she pushed the keys in turning then slightly as the car purred to life. Fixing her sunglasses she pulled out the driverway making her way up 4th street towards the highway. Her phone rang through the car, caller ID popped up on her screen reading Quinn. Pressing answer a girls voice came through her speakers "Hey Lilith." Her voice off putting. Lilith mouth turned into a tight smile, "What is it Quinn?" A loud sound came from Quinn's side of the line, loud men could be heard barking orders. "Lilith it's the army, government has found us. Hurry, I'll try to keep them stalled." Her voiced whispered before the line cut. "Quinn!" Lilith yelled, pushing her foot down on the gas as she hopped onto the high way. Zig-zagging between cars she pushed 90mph, making it to her exit in no time. Speeding throw the first two red lights she finally pulled into a new office building she bought. Parking her car she grabbed her purse and headed towards the front door, two armed men stood at the entrance. As she got closer they pointed their guns at her, "Don't come closer ma 'am!" the one yelled. She raised her hands, a smile on her face " Come on boys, I don't want this to get ugly." She chuckled. As the men looked at each other she took a step towards then again. Their guns clicked, "I said do not move!" The man yelled again. Lilith continue to move towards the men, a loud bang rang throught the air. Lilith looked down as black blood soaked through her white blouse. "Ugh come on, I liked this shirt." She yelled glaring up at the men. They stood frozen in shocked as she stalked towards them, her black claws gripping the man who shot her, sinking her nails into his throat she ripped his neck. He sunk down to his knees, his hands gripping his throat a chocking gargling sound came through his mouth before he dropped to the ground. His buddy pointed his gun at Lilith, firing away as she made her way towards him her clawed hand raised up, her teeth pointed sharp. The man let out a loud scream shortly cut off as his head rolled across the floor. She made her way towards the front door, walking past the front desk it's chair unoccupied. Sighing she walked over toward the elevators, pressing floor five she stood in the middle as the doors closed. Turning towards the glass she fixed her hair, checking her teeth before straighting her outfit. The elevator dings as the doors rolled open, she stepped into an office floor that once held cubicles now held surgical tables each holding a dead man. She scanned the room her eyes falling on her people on their knees in a circle in the middle of the room, five men armed heavy stood around them. She sighed, looking around she saw five more men standing around not yet aware of her. Placing her purse down she headed towards the men, her hands up as she cleared her throat. The five men turn pointing their guns at her, "Do not come any closer." They yelled. She stopped, chuckling "Should see the last man who said that to me." She smiled, watching their move. A short bald man stepped out from behind one of them, "Lower your guns men." He said waving them down. Lilith narrowed her eyes, stairing down the short man, "Bart" her voice sharp. The man turned towards the women, his wide eyes behind framed glasses "Ah Lilith, I've been waiting." He paced in a short line in front of the men still holding their guns. Lilith lowered her hands, shifting in her spot. "You see, I'm here on orders of the Governor himself." He said rubbing his chin. "According to him, your whole operation was shut down three days ago when Agent Springs never showed back and our test subject stolen." His voice alittle louder, pointing his finger at Lilith. "But it seem you kept working. Hired a whole new crew and I see you found more test subjects." He motioned toward the bodies around him. He laughed placing his hands on his waist, "I've got to say, I am a bit curious how you got so many test subjects Lilith." He looked at her, eyeing her up and down. Leaning on her one foot she smirked, "I could gladly demonstrate" she said a flash of red flickering in her eyes. Bart shifted on his feet swallowing hard. "As much as I'd love to, I'm here on business darling. And I going to have to shut down your operation here and those working here." He said motioning for the men near him to move forward. They raised their guns, making their way slow and cautiously towards Lilith. She eyed each of them, her hands slowly turning black her nails shifting into long black claws. The men paused for a breif second before continuing their advance on her. "Can't ever have an easy day." She mumbled springing towards the closes man, her nails digging into his side. His gun went off, shooting a bullet through her arm. She looked down, grumbling"Oh come on, not the suit shirt too." She groaned, a man coming up behind her gun pointed at her head. She spun around her nails cutting his hand off, his gun rattled to the floor. He's scream filled the room, Lilith stuck her fingers into his eyes her other hand clawed his heart out. Letting the body tumble to the floor she turned towards the last three men, running towards them as their gun fired bullets at her. Her body stung as bullets pierced her her skin, she sliced the first man's stomach spinging and cutting the other's head off. Running towars the last man she pushed her hand through his chest, pushing his heart through his back. Dropping the heart she made her way towards the men guarding her workers, "I'm to tired for this." She huffed, groaning as her body shifted the demon taking full form. Standing ten feet tall it marched fowards, grabbing the men up into its black clawed hands, bring its mouth down and biting their bodies in half. Swallowing the last of the men it slowly shrunk down, shifting back down into Lilith's small body. She walked towards Bart who was standing where she first came in. "You should tell your boss that I do as I wish. I cannot be stop Bart and you know that." She said. Bart shook, sweat beaming on his bald head as he ran for the door and run down the stairs. Lilith turned as a short brunette with round glassed ran towards her. "Quinn." Lilith voice sounded relief as she hugged the girl. "I'm so glad you got here so fast." She said. Letting go Lilith looked around the room at the rest of th crew. "How did they find us?" She said. Looking down at Quinn. The girl hurried her way over to her computers, Lilith right behind her. "So I've could have done this a long time ago but I wasn't sure how you'd take it." She nervously said. She looked up at Lilith's face who motioned for her to continue, turning back to her key board her thin fingers typing away as she brought up a screen. It showed a map of the county, a red dit could be seen moving. Lilith point at it, "What is that?" She asked. "It's the tracker I hand put on their car." She said proudly. She looked down at Quinn, shock written all over her face as Quinn smiled. "When did you do that?" She questioned. Chuckling Quinn sat up, "I noticed strange cars around work for a week now. I simply parked a block away and snuck up to them. Placed it and went back to my car." She said smugly. Lilith stood her mouth slightly parted, "What else can you do?" Quinn quickly clicked away at her keys as code flashed across her screen. A page poped up, a box with a space for a password was placed in the middle of the it. "What did you do?" Lilith lean toward. "I hacked into the government's computer." Quinn said. "I can set up an autocode system to decode the password if you want. Takes a couple days but worth it." She continued. Lilith stood up looking around, "Yes, well have to move shop anyways which will take a couple days. This is your job only Quinzel, you hear me." Lilith voice firm. Quinn straightened up at her full name, "Yes Ma'am." She turned toward she computer typing away. Lilith made her way towards the crew as they run around packing up their supplies, looking down at her tore and bloody clothes. "Someone get me clean clothes now!" She yelled as she walked towards her office. Shutting the door she headed towards the privet bathroom she had, closing and locking the door. Stripping her clothes she stood inside the large glasses closed walk-in shower. Turning the water on she let the hot water run over her body. Bloody and dirty water ran down the drain, her wounds slowly healing. She rolled her neck as she washed her body letting the water relax her sore muscles. She reached turning the water off as she wrapped her wet body in a towel. Unlocking the door she stepped into her office, fresh clean clothes sat on her desk. Pulling on the dark blue jeans she zipped her leather jacket over her red tang top. Sitting down she slipped on her black heeles boots, fixing her hair she leaned back. She looked at the clock on the wall, 1:30pm it read she hopped to he heading to her second building arrangement soon it would be a day's trip. She pulled out her phone, quickly texting her husband the new location before texting her friend that she'd be there in a day. Quickly grabbing her files and book she didn't want in the wrong hands packing them away into her suit case, she ran and grabbed her back up suit case with clothes and essentials. Grabbing the handle of the one she hurried toward the door, walking out she stopped in the front of the room. Clearing her throat she grabbed the attention of the room, "Alright guys here's the plan, I have a back up building a bit further for here. It's a city called Auburn in Nebraska." She said loudly. Looking around the room,"Emmanuel you, Ethan, Mark, and Jared stay here with the scientists and pack up the truck. I'll text you the address to met us at." She spoke to an Indian man. Walking toward the rest she spoks up, "Quinn, Dante, Dean, Bruce, Megan, Ruth and Jacquelyn go back the gear and the cars we head out in an hour. Quinn bring your stuff to finish your job. As for the rest of you met us at the location which you can get from Emmanuel as soon as possible." She turned heading toward the elevators, hitting the ground floor. She tapped her foot watching the numbers slowly click down to the ground, as the doors rolled open she made her way towards her car, Dante sitting in the front seat. "Figured I'd bring it around, that and Jackie's car. Know she picky" he chuckled, his gold tooth flashing in the dim light. She reached out her hand her palm up, "Give me the keys Dante." She said rolling her eyes. He hopped out dropping the keys in her hand, "She thing mom" he mocked. She shoved his shoulder, laughing lightly as she climbed into the front car. Dante took his place in back of the five seater, Dean sat in front of him earning a smack in the back of the head from Dante. He turned around punching him in the arm, "Don't start with me dude." He warned as Dante kicked his arm, laughing away. "Enough children." Lilith voice stern. The boys sat back not without a last hit from Dante that earned a glare from Dean. Bruce climbed into the passenger seat closing the door right as Jacquelyn pulled up in her blue Mustang Ruth riding shotgun next to her, feet kicked up already napping. "What we waiting for?" She yelled over her car. Bruce shrugged looking overat Lilith who watched the back door as Quinn came running out, her bag slung over her shoulder backpack in hand. She pulled open the door, "Sorry I took so long." She said out of breath slamming the door behind her. "Fashionable late Beauty." Dante flirted as Lilith pulled out, Jacquelyn right behind them. Quinn rolled her eyes pulling her laptop out her bag, putting her headphones in she got back to work, even without the password she still had tracking to do. She was still trying to crack the cameras of the hide out Bart and his men where at when Dante pulled at her pony tail, leaning over her shoulder. She pulled out her head phone, "Yes Dante?" She questioned the boy. "Just bored, wanted to see what you doing?" He wined. She signed rolling her eyes, "Go bother Dean, I'm busy." She turnes back to her laptop. Dante huffed, "He's asleep, please." He stuck out his lip. Quinn looked at Dean's slumped body and gave up closing her laptop. She shifted giving Dante her full attention, "So why do you avoid talking to me. Been working for what...six months." He questioned amusement flashes in his eyes. Quinn smiled, "Maybe because no one can get work done around you." She said. Dante brought his hand up to his heart prtending to be hurt, Quinn laughed shoving his leg. Lilith smiled watching them goof off in the mirror, turning her attention back to the road. "How we so sure they won't just track us out here. No matter how far we are, our kind aren't easy to hide." Bruce's rugged voice spoke over the radio. "Don't worry about that one. The person we are meeting lives off the grid. We'll stay under the radar." Lilith answered. Bruce gruffed turning his head towards the window, " Sure, with Dante that's going to be impossible." He mumbled. Lilith tightened her grip on the steering wheel ignoring the attitude in his voice, "There will be set rules and those who break them with face me." She said sharply turning the radio up and she speed down the highway.
