Soon, Eddie had shoveled nearly all the food on the floor into Vivian's stomach.

Raven, gripping Zack's arm after helping him up, rubbed his soft little hand. It was still raw and almost bloody from earlier.

She cast a cool glance at Vivian.

Vivian's eyes shrank to pinpricks.

"I messed up, okay? I know I screwed up! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you- just let me go, please!" she begged, her voice shaking.

"If I get someone else to do it, it won't just be one hand," Raven shot back, ice in her words.

Vivian's panic hit full throttle.

"Ten million bucks!" she blurted. "I'll give you ten million to let me off!"

"Three!" Raven started counting down.

"Two!" Her voice didn't waver.

Raven didn't even get to "one."

Vivian's eyes flew wide, and she screeched, "You bitch, don't push me too far!"
