Stefan POV
I 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
Stefan POVBack at the apartment, I swirled in circles, Damon was in the bathroom, trying to find the contacts nearest to his golden eyes, he's lucky that jail cell was dark enough so Cerberus didn't notice the change. I spent the last hour going over the pictures and I hoped I could find a reason, an explanation because— If Lucifer's dark side is here... on earth, might as well we throw in the towel and give up, there is no use fighting, it's a battle we already lost. We know nothing about this demon, only stories about how it seeks a victim and the way it kills and no demon can kill like that, at least no regular one, the claw marks were not minor, they dug deep inflicted by a monster.“Can someone please explain to me again what's happening?” Damon existed the latrine, drying his hands in a piece of paper towel, sitting next to Cerberus on the sofa.“Cerberus here says that he was guarding Hell's gate, took a nap, and found himself here— on earth,” I
Damon POVI laid in bed flat on my back, tucking my hand under my head, thinking. If only we were working together we would have been suspicious of Cerberus, that damn mongrel is a trickster, and he played us like a fool. Him hiding his true form behind human characteristics, made me believe that he has a heart, but how stupid of me to think that he's a hellhound, his loyalty lies with the master of hell. Eve II was probably the one who sent him to find us. After all, finding us means she'd find the girl. But Stefan was caught up in pride, and I was acting on how I— feel.Demons had two feelings lust and vengeance, I used to believe what I felt for Eve II was love, but as I said, demons don't adore anyone apart from their selves. I enjoyed fucking her in the forbidden areas of the castle she'd take me, allowing me to pound her deep, pulling out her hidden climaxes, Perhaps that's why she tolerated me, kept me around, I was one of Hell's
Lilith POV“Who does he think he is anyways,”I mumbled to myself, sitting in the kitchen, pouring me another shot of— what's the name? I picked up the bottle, trying to read the label... Yeah, whiskey. Why did he show up here unannounced, maybe he came to see if he left me heartbroken, sending his brother to tell me about his girlfriend back home was a coward move and I hated him for it?Remembering the necklace from earlier, I pulled it from my pocket, holding it in mid-air, studying it.I don't how to explain what I experienced today and if I tell anyone they are going to think that I am crazy, and I know I'm not. I don't know what the library ghost meant,'take this necklace, it will protect you until you can protect yourself'.I unlatched it, admiring it while thinking,Should wear it?It was a lovely necklace, the dark
Stefan POV“Max thought I told you... keep them coming!” I tried to yell above the music playing in the club. I was high off bloody marys, my vision was getting blurry and I felt lightheaded, the Devils Lare was Lucifers', I don't know who owns it now, Probably Eve II but who cares, it didn't cause trouble and its' the only place demons in the city can get a drink of Hell's favorite delight. No demon knew what it was made of, but we loved it, it was our kind of— booze. Max was a lower class demon, he was cast out of hell, and ever since, he has lived centuries among humans, trying to fit in and not obsessed with getting back in Hell, he just lives for the moment.The reverse Lucifer could be anywhere, we don't know what it looks like, but we have to find out... We— as in, my brother and I. I was wrong earlier, I just... Every time I think about her being Damon's mate, my heart breaks a little hearing her name each time it is said, Pulling my cellphone fr
Mel POV“Whoa!” I screamed at the top of my voice, enjoying the music, partying in the middle of the ocean isn't so bad after all. I tightly gripped my cup, throwing my hands above my head, wiggling my hips. Looking over to my left, I spotted Williams' mother at the mini bar, waving at me, Nervously waved back, cringing on the inside, it's late, she's old, shouldn't she be in bed.The moment became awkward, and I no longer wanted to dance, I need another shot of Hennessy— or two. I walked towards the main bar across the other half of the room, which was opposite the mini one, sitting on a stool, I called over one of the three male bartenders working.“What the strongest shit you got over that counter?”“Huh— I guess... Red zinfandel,”“Ok give it to me,” I demanded. “What? A single or double?” He inquired.“No... the whole bottle,”&ldquo
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
