The video resumes.

The door to Olivia's room bursts open, and Jason enters. No wonder. All the yelling must have alerted him to something bad happening. The moment Jason sees the shadows, he runs out. *"Help us!"* Olivia screams after Jason, but the coward doesn't return.

Strange lights come out of the Dybbux box before a last shadow emerges from it, taking the shape of a warped angel of darkness with eight wings. It approaches Camila, who is in a fetal position on the floor, shadows still onslaught her. The ones harming Olivia pause to watch what the angel of darkness will do, giving her the chance to escape their grasp. He grabs Camila by the hair and pulls her to her feet.

*"Daughter of Pandora,"* the angel hisses. *"Freeing me will bring only suffering and pain to this world."*

Olivia craws away from the shadows towards her closet.

Camila appears to have no fear as she says, *"If I freed you, then you should be grateful. You owe us, so stop attacking us."*

*"The only thing I'll do is kill you, Daughter of Pandora, so that you won't seal me back in Tartarus,"* the angel of darkness hisses at Camila. Tartarus? Wasn't that a prison for gods in ancient Greece? His free hand wraps around Camila's throat, blocking her windpipe.

Olivia comes out of the closet, a gun in her hands. Even before the next events unfold, I already know Olivia never meant to kill Camila.

*"Let go of her!"* Olivia screams. Light comes out of her body, making the shadows retreat. Her wounds and those of Camila heal. Did she do that? The gun fires.

*"It's you,"* the dark angel says before disappearing.

The bullet hits Camila right in the chest.

Oh, God.

"It was an accident," Rueben mumbles. "Olivia was trying to protect Camila."
