Damon POV
“Lilith?” I mumbled, “Hi, I've been worried sick about you, you ran out of the bathroom so fast the other night, and I didn't get a chance to give...”
But Mel cut me off, “So this is Damon? The same you've been crus...”
“Classmate! He is my classmate” Lilith yelled, not wanting Mel to continue what she was about to say.
“Right, nice to meet you, Damon, Lilith speaks highly of you,” Mel extended her hand towards me.
“No I don't, I hardly even know him,” Lilith grumbled.
I shook Mel's hand, giving her a luminous smile, “Nice to meet you, Mel.”
Fifteen minutes in, and the room was dead silent, this was supposed to be a Lunch where we all got to know more about each other but now, it is making us all uncomfortable, I told Stefan this was a bad idea and I was right.
Mel sat across from Stefan and me, scrolling through her phone, While Lilith stood a couple of feet away from us, occasionally glancing at
Lilith POV“It's almost 7:00 pm, and we haven't seen or heard from them,” I mumbled peeking at the apartment door of the unusual brothers,“Hey,” Mel appeared next to me, rubbing my back, “You think we should check on them?”“No, I think they are ok, I just wish they would at least give us an update,” I said closing the door slowly.“I didn't know the eyes could cause such tremendous pain on anyone,” Mel muttered,“Neither did I, but hey did see Stefans' tat, it was the exact thing like Damons' ”“No I didn't, sorry Lil, and Maybe Damon has ocular herpes,” Mel uttered.“Mel!” I exclaimed.“What? I'm just saying, but you surely weren't kidding when you told me, he was hot,”“No I wasn't and you almost told him that I was crushing on him,”“Well, he is a cutie and but I still think he has ocular herpes,”“But still you were playing matchmaker?” Mel raised her hands in defeat,“I have no
Stefan POVI stood by the window of the apartment, sipping coffee, gazing outside at the parked cars, it was 8:00 AM and Damon was out on his early morning run. I don't know if it's just me, or I am exhausted, Demons are not like humans, We don't feel temperatures, we don't get tired, and we don't get sick but my body felt weak as if I was visited by a succubus last night and if I was then it must have been a powerful one because I can't recall what was my dream about.Continuing to look outside, I saw Lilith and Mel loading her pink Lamborghini with luggage.I don't... and I think I will never understand humans, why she couldn't settle for a normal car, that Lamborghini only makes her an easy target. I watched as she drove off and Lilith stood watching her as well, maybe she has gone to visit family, or stay with a boyfriend.I know for sure Lilith is going to miss her, she was more outspoken and Lilith
Lilith POVIt's 10 AM, Mel is off on her trip, and I am here all alone in the apartment. William promised to pick her up himself, but he canceled last minute because something came up, so she had to drive to their usual 'hook up' apartment, at least that's what Mel calls it. She keeps convincing herself that William has a secret house she doesn't know about. I, on the other hand, was looking forward to meeting William but I guess when they get back from their vacation, I will. He seems like a good guy, and Mel loves him, and I am happy for her, she deserves whatever blessing coming her way.I haven't seen Damon since the incident, and I found myself worried about him. And that dream, Ever since last night I felt sore down there. And everything in the dream felt realistic, the kissing, the touching, that way Stefan fondled my breast.Am I to feel weird that I may have grown to like Stefan even though I like Damon at the same time?
Damon POVI stood in the shower, the water dribbled down my back, still not believing that I am Lilith's mate, well it's not totally unbelievable, many years ago before she was born, The oracle told me I will fall in love with her, the one who will save us all. And I didn't understand what she meant because I loved Eve II, That's before she became smitten with the power which boosted her to overthrow Lucifer, her father. But I loved her regardless, even though Stefan always warned me about her, that I was just an incubus, a second class demon and my gold eyes were the evidence of it. But she was Hell's royalty, a wrath demon and her purple eyes were her authorization over the realm, she had it all. But she craved more, she wanted to control it and everyone within in.And because of her selfishness, the underworld has been fighting a war ever since. Bloodshed for millions of years, and it was us, my that started it. Werewolves, Vampires, W
Stefan POVI tried everything I could think of, to get Lilith to give in to her abilities, but nothing worked, anger, excitement, lust. But they all failed miserably, telling her about Eve II and Damon was a low blow, but what do I have to lose. I can't remember anything from last night, but she was here, in my dreams. Damon barely said anything to me since he got back from jogging, and it had me wondering, did he know about last night? They are mates, so I was thinking aren't he connected to her? Or probably it doesn't work like the wolves.“Hey,”Damon came out of the shower drying his hair in a towel, “What's up bro.”“Nothing much, I am here thinking,” I mumbled.“Thinking about what?”“Brother, if the supernatural realm finds out about your...newly found love, you're going to be killed, I think you should do something,”“And what are you implying?” Damon asked.“Well, if you two are mates, you need to reject her or what
Lilith POV“For the last time, Mel, Everything is fine, Why are you calling you've been gone for only a couple of hours You're in the middle of the ocean, Wait...how are you even calling?” I asked.“Because I am at the apartment, Williams is out running errands before we leave,” She mumbled.“Ok, but why are you whispering?”“His parents– his parents are here,” Mel muttered.“Oh! Oh my God... What are they like?” I asked.“Well, they seem nice, but I am nervous”“And that's the reason you're whispering?”“No, it's because... I don't want to be a rude host, so I excused myself to the bathroom, so I could call you.”I took a deep breath, rolling my eyes in annoyance.“Mel, go and bond with your in-laws, I can take care of myself, everything is ok.”“Yea I know but are you ok?” She asked.I paused at her question, Thinking, Am I ok? The simplest question most people cannot answer. No, no I am not, I thin
Damon POVWalking up to the cash register, I gazed out the window displays, “What's up with the police cars?” I asked a blonde-haired cashier. “There was an incident— after you asked for the keys to the bathroom.“What kind of incident?” I lowly asked.The cashier tipped on her toes, searching over my shoulders, carefully inspecting our surrounding, leaning closer to me, I met her half there, her lips brushing against my ear lobes, “There is a dead body...in the alley next to us,” she whispered.“A human—I... I mean...was it a woman or a man?” I asked, staring into her eyes.She stepped back as a potential customer scanned the aisle behind me, “Employees aren't allowed to comment, and— I haven't got all the details yet anyway, cops even blocked off the area,” she said scanning the lens packets independently.I fold my fists inside my coat pockets, Humans aren't brave enough to openly kill in broad daylight, this sounded like the
Lilith POV“Hey we have to go back, my— friends are probably in danger,” I turned to face Thomas who had his hands fixed on the steering wheel. “Friends? I thought Mel— was your only friend,” he snickered.I didn't want to tell him about Damon and Stefan, I only knew it was their car because Mel showed to me this morning before she left, “Just turn the car around—please,” I pleaded.“I can't, if I am not mistaken, I saw a CSI van back there, it's a crime scene and the cops can charge me if I park too close...attempt contamination of evidence, and it seems as if they have it under control,”Taking a deep breath, I folded my arms, hoping that whatever happened back there, they are ok.“Sorry— I hope your friends are ok,”“Yea, me too,” I mumbled.Driving towards the center of the city, he came to a stop at a cross-section, “Where I drop you off?” he asked.“Thank you, but here is fine, I will take it f
Damon POVClutching onto my sides, I felt pain, the kind of pain I have never felt before. It runs deep in my veins, it was like someone was breaking all of the bones in my body. She was dead... My mate, Lilith, is dead. Everyone stayed quiet as Eve inspected her lifeless body, kicking her in the ribs."The anti-Christ is dead," she threw up her hands in victory, the crowd later joining her,"What an antichrist she turned out to be," she joked, chuckling as hoisted her foot on Lilith's lifeless body,Glancing over to my brother, who was sitting a few feet away from me, he wasn't blinking, he was in so much shock, he didn't see what had happened, she is gone... She is gone."Let that be a lesson to anyone, who tries... Or think they defend me and rule this kingdom, I dare them to try... Because what happened here today was a ray of faith," she pointed the tip of the top o
Lilith POVTightening the straps around my legs, Damon gazed into my eyes, Stefan was looking through the window at the rising sun. We all knew that in a matter of minutes I will be in the ring with Eve, facing my fate, a fate that was stolen from me before I was even born,"Guys..." I mumbled, "listen— if I die out there promise me, you will never stop fighting, someone has to stop her,""And you listen to me, " Damon grip my shoulders, "You will not die, you have been fighting silent battles since your a child,""He is right," Stefan mumbled, our gaze shifting to him, "Eve might be stronger and quicker but you're smarter... You're the anti fucking christ and you will go out there and you're going to kick her ass,"Smiling, I lowered my head, playing with the hem of my warrior's uniform,"But still there is a possibility that I might—"
Damon POVBuckling my shoes, I looked over at the bed that Stefan would have slept in, it was perfectly made as if he didn't sleep in it last night“Lilith—” I whispered as she whined, complaining and studying her appearance, while the maid behind her ties the crisscrossed strings into tiny knots,“You're training me to fight in this hideous dress? The built-in corset is squishing my organs together, What chance does Eve have of killing me herself if I suffocate,”Eyeing Lilith, she was outfitted with a red dress, puffy at the hips, with high perky breasts at the top,“Thank you for your service," I nodded to the human maid who wore a knee-length black dress, and a mesh veil over her head, covering her face. She must be mourning the loss of someone, a relative— or maybe she's a widow,Bowing before Lilith, she hangs her head low, brushing past
Stefan POV“And why should we trust you?” I inspected this Aaron closely,“You don't have to, but trust me... U need an inside man, especially one like me, I am closer to Eve than you think,” Aaron muttered,Why Eve guard want to help us, I thought, I found it a bit shady, unless he wants something for himself,“And what's in it for you?" I narrowed my eyes, watching him.“I told you... I want—”“Stop bullshitting, tell us what you want,”Walking over to one of the windows, he looked through it, watching the soldiers down below, “Tell me, Stefan, your time here as a warrior was it— fun?”I did know what he meant, being a warrior come with a lot of responsibility, and the only way you could be free from it is the change of leadership, I am starting to understand his motives now,“You want out?”
Lilith POV“Finally, we meet face to face... Lilith,” she whispered, her fake British accent roared realm, disturbing the quietness,The dim light from the gate's lamps shined on her, revealing nothing but true beauty, she was gorgeous. It's her, I thought, the same woman I've seen in my nightmares. Wearing a white dress that clung to her body, perking her breasts closer to her collar bone, the long slit on both sides running up thin thighs, exposing her bikini area, easily, I recognized her bright purple eyes anywhere, they were an exact match to mine, dyed in artificial ginger her hair was cut short, the ends were bluntly chopped, resting stiffly on her shoulders, and though the natural dark roots were visible, it wore it well.“That's rather absurd because I wish I could say the same,”Pulling a blade from a scabbard off one of the warriors, I could see
Damon POVWe continued our journey in silence as nightfall approaches, Lilith, and I was ahead of Stefan, who was carrying the bag and also reading through the book of prophecies,“Guys... It says here that will be a time when it's going to rain blood,” Stefan cried out behind us, “I hope that is after we get old and die, I don't know about you guys but I have had enough of this heroic stuff, our kids should take over,”“We are demons brother, we don't get old and die, ninety-nine percent of the time our kind is assassinated,” I yelled back at him,“But still... Raining blood? Isn't that a bit excessive?”“I think it's speaking metaphorically, it's portraying a war,” Lilith shout back at Stefan,“You may have a point,” Stefan agreedIt's the first time since Lilith spoke since we go out of the fields of punishment,
Lilith POV“Kill them,” a soft voice echoed in my ears, “They betrayed you... They can't be trusted,”I am not going to die for a bunch of people I didn't even know, did my mother know of this, was she in on it, if she is then she put on quite a show about how she loves me when all along I was being raised like a swine, only to be butchered in the end.“I didn't come here to die... I am sorry but I can't...” I sobbed uncontrollably, pinning the brothers over the edge of the volcano, I knew that I allow them to fall inside, they would survive,“Lilith listens to me, it's all a trick... It's the hollow of fears, it got to me... And now it's getting to you... it's getting to all of us, just let us go, and lets us talk about it,” Stefan pleaded.“You're lying!” I barked, how could it be a tr
Stefan POVI stared at the carter, I couldn't believe that she jumped in, I knew that coming here was a bad idea, nothing important was here, it was our fear that lured us in, maybe one of many tricks Eve has tampered with, my eyes were burning from the smoke, glistening with tears but I wasn't from the smoke alone, I was crying... I was crying for her. I don't know for sure if she was dead, but it was a pretty damn good guess that it's the possibility that she was, but none of us wanted to say it,“Do you think she is—”“If you say what I think you're about to say, then you will be the second body going down in this hole, the difference between hers and yours, is that you won't be so willing, and I'll just throw you in my fucking self,” Damon glared back me, still looking down in the void, his eyes were red, and I knew it wasn't the smoke too, it was because of tears,My lips parted but
Lilith POVStanding at the entrance at the field of punishment, hearing the everlasting screams coming from the perishing souls, made me nervous, swallowing the mass of fear in my throat, I fondled the hem of my shirt. I wasn't a coward, but I was scared and if this place brings out your worst fear, then maybe me going in there alone wasn't the right choice.“Lilith— hold up for a second,” the brothers jogged up behind me,“My mind is already made up... I am going in there, so please— don't try and talk me out of it,” I growled.“We know— and that's why we are going in with you, no soldier gets left behind... Remember?” Damon smiled, caressing my shoulders, “And there isn't a fear in this entire realm that will allow me to watch you go in there alone,”Internally I smiled, I was blushing even... maybe, he wasn't perfect, he has some jealousy traits that need to be worked on but who
