Lilith giggled lightly as she felt Ericâs strong hold on her tighten. She knew he was worried, mad and anxious she felt the same way and in the supernatural world emotionâs played a huge role in their powers. Itâs like the two are connected, it doesnât matter how much control you have your emotions will over through control.
âEric youâre squeezing to hardâ Lilith wheeled backing out of his hold. He let her go easy enough but she still felt like she had to fight it. Lilith stiffened as she heard more noises, the thudding sounds of footsteps hitting the moist ground.
âShit they found usâ Lilith cursed quietly completely getting out of Ericâs hold and turning towards the noise. She didnât have enhanced hearing like Eric but her hearing was better than a humans.
âWe should go nowâ Lilith said quietly to Eric, grabbing his hand to pulling him into the shadows. They werenât fast enough though as a beam of light focused on them.
âIts Reaper and Shifter, I repeat Reaper and Shifter!â a male shouted. He jumped from the bushes gun in hand pointed at Lilith and Eric. Moments later seven other men joined him, all pointing their guns at the supernatural pair.
âHands up where we can see them!â the man shouted. Lilith growled narrowing her eyes at the group. Like hell she would come easily, fuck that. Then an idea popped into her head and Lilith removed her bracelet, ignoring the warning bells in the back of her mind. She put it in Ericâs hand, for as long as he had the bracelet her powers wouldnât affect him.
âDonât let go of thisâ she said sternly, indicating the bracelet. She then let go of his hand and raised her hands above her head and moved forward.
âSlowly bitchâ the man snapped making Lilith glare at the man her anger spiked instantly. She walked until he signaled for her to stop.
âYou two grab her the rest get the shifterâ the man ordered as he and two otherâs walked over to Lilith. They all grabbed her and moments later fell to the ground at her feet. The four remaining men looked at her in surprise and fear, halting in their footsteps.
âWhat the fuck just happened?â a guard shouted, readying his gun but Lilith was faster rushing over to the group and grabbing hold of their hands. Seconds later they too fell to her feet as death overcame them.
âAlright now that they are out of the way, we should get moving and try to find the nearest town, which shouldnât be too hard with that nose of yoursâ Lilith teased as she walked back over to Eric and took bracelet. She glanced down at the bodies then the area they were in. All the trees and plants were now brown and dead instead of the vibrant green they once were. The reason the men died so quickly was because the aura around Lilith had affected them, draining them slowly and then once she made skin contact she drained their life instantly. Thatâs why she had Eric hold her bracelet, it protected him from her power. She put the bracelet back on and felt her powerâs being forced back, under control now.
âShall we?â she smiled as she started moving forward.
