Part 15

Lilith stared out into the setting sun through the rain. She watched as the sky gradually darkened.
    And then she was suddenly filled with energy. She felt a strange kind of electricity rushing through her. She hadn't done thsi for so long that she felt entirely overwhelmed by the power of it. In other words, she hadn't allowed her inner monster, out.
    Lilith looked down at the seringe in her hand. By now she would've used the serum it held inside to prevent coming anywhere close to the point she was at now. At night, she would count the minutes so that she didn't even need to feel the start of the change. She hated any reminders of what she was.
    But tonight was different. For too long Lilith had shied away from what she was, hoping to forget about her horrid past.
    As her body began to shake, she looked down at the seringe one last time and watched it slip between her fingers.
    She shivered and shook, her arms reaching up her body. She was no longer in control.
    The change was painful, but only for a second. Soon after, you had no need to worry about that.
    Lilith grabbed hold of her skin and ripped it from her in way that some had been known to compare to Super-Man. There was nothing super about this.
    In her last few moments of control, Lilith thought of how this would look, as she only looked thirteen. She laughed darkly, wincing in pain as she ripped the last of her humanity away.

The creature ran across the dark streets, zipping through the rain. It shot like a bullet as it raced along, not thinking, not feeling, intent on finding it's first meal of the night.
    And then, the creature heard something.
    It stopped abruptly, focusing on the sound. It was down a few streets, coming closer. It turned and rushed back the way it had come.
    It turned a corner, keeping out of the light of the streetlamps as much as possible. A black and oragne porsche rounded the opposite corner and came driving down towards the creature.
    It instantly leapt out into the light in front of it, glaring at the people inside.
    The car skidded, swerving to the side in an expertly neat way, the driver careful not to so much as scratch the paint.
    In a flash the doors were open, the seven people out and ready.
    The creature scowled. There was a lot of them, but that was okay. It would get it's meal.
    It stepped forward menacingly, daring them to attack. They flinched back from the creature's movement. If it could've smiled, it would be grinning at them hugely. It liked this reaction.
    The single male stepped forward, preparing to attack. He hefted his twin katanas and stalked over to the creature.
    It lunged at him, missing as he dodged back. And suddenly it was 'all stations go'! They all moved, surrounding the thing and trying to cut it off from any escape.
    It leaped at the nearest one, knocking her back as it went. It didn't take the time to see what they looked like, moving off into the shadows to hide.
    They looked to where it had gone, searching with their eyes through the bushes. They split off to look for it seperately.
    A younger girl came off to the right, the others off in other positions.
    The creature shifted through the leaves surrounding it, moving closer to the girl. She was alone, and so would be an easy kill.
    It moved forward, stealthily coming closer. It was almost upon her.
    And then it was there, right in front of her. The girl was staring right at it, but she raised no alarm, unable to see the thing.
    She looked off to the side. Perfect.
    The creature merely stepped out, and it was on her. The girl was unconcious before she could shout for help.
    It crouched over her body, but before it could do anything, it was hit hard in the side and sent flying away across the sidewalk.
    One of the females stalked up to the creature and was about to attack again when they had a sudden moment where their eyes met.

    The person gasped. "Lilith..."

Part 14

Isabella smiled at Lilith, trying to brighten her mood and failing yet again. She sighed and walked towards Lilith, kneeling next to her seat. "You can't keep beating yourself up about this." She told her.
    "Watch me." Lilith told her, turning away. Isabella sighed again and stood.
    The others were stood across the room, pretending to talk about Dusk and what he was planning to do, but really they were watching Lilith. They were back at Lilith's house, but I didn't seem to be having any affect on her mood.
    "Lilith, you're going to have to stop this and be happy again sometime." Isabella said. She had been trying this for the last three hours, and Lilith was not showing any sign of giving in. She was a very stubborn girl.
    Isabella walked away, giving up for the time being.
    Lilith watched her as she went. She stood. "Can I be alone in my house now?" She asked. Of course, she was only fourteen really, but she was easily responsible enough to own a house.
    They all looked around in her direction. "Umm..." Kallista said. "Yeah... Sure..." They all glanced at eachother nervously, before walking reluctantly out of the door.
    Now that the others had left, Lilith could stop covering herself up. She grimaced in pain. It wasn't a physical pain though. She couldn't fight it off. It was the pain of what she'd let herself do.
    She tried to stand, wanting to try to find something that she could distract herslef with, but she wobbled and fell, curling up into a ball on the floor. What if Aquila hadn't saved Dragona? What if nobody had managed to stop her? What if she had continued to try killing all of them after she was done with him? What would she be then? Was it possible that she could be even more of a monster?...
    She lay there, questioning herself, and then she realised it didn't matter. It didn't matter that she'd been stopped. It didn't matter that she had acknowledged that she shouldn't have done that. It only mattered that she had started. It only mattered that she had been on Dusk's side, even if it was only for that small amount of time. She was the enemy now. Her friends couldn't trust her. But then... what could she do? She'd already shown Dusk that she was no longer with him. She was alone. She was on nobody's 'side'. She had nothing left to do.
    She stumbled to her feet and opened the window as the rainy sky darkened again and she pulled out a seringe.
    Lilith looked at the serum and thought.

    She had nothing left to do... nothing left to do, but to be a monster...

Part 13

Lilith felt horrible as she heard those last words, but all the same, she grabbed Dargona's shoulders and hauled him up, dragging him to the wall. She was only thirteen really, but she was a vampire, and so she was much stronger than the average thirteen-year-old girl.
    Dragona tried to reach for her, but pulled away, wincing in pain. Only now did Lilith see his hand wrapped in bandages. He had punched that man the other day, and he still hadn't managed to get to kenspeckle. So that's why he had been so careful.
    Lilith clenched her teeth and tried her best not to show how much it killed her when she moved her hands to his neck. She shoved him back harder against the wall, feeling the worst pain that she had ever felt shock through her. The only other time when she had felt this kind of pain was... it was when she had seen her father's dead body.
    She shook her head and pushed harder, seeing him weaken from the lack of oxygen as his body sagged.
    There was a movement from the corner of her eye, and something smacked Lilith over the head, hard. She fell again, dropping right down, and going limp in pain. She peeked up to see one of the people that she didn't know checking over Dragona. She then turned her gaze across the room, and she could see that most of the infected were dead, causing Dusk to scowl as he watched. He came forward as some other infected came into the room. They were the ines that had been looking through the house.
    The infected ran at the girls, attacking like the others had, and Dusk came towards Dragona and his friend.
    Lilith was suddenly up and grabbing for this person who was crouched over Dragona. The person turned their head sharply. "What? Have you come to try and hurt Dragona again? Well I'm sorry, you're not getting anywhere near him! Aquila Felis doesn't betray her friends like some no-good vampires!"
    Lilith didn't know why she was stood up herself really. She had just suddenly been there. And the she remembered Dusk. She grabbed the person called Aquila, and she tried to show her the real threat, but she just hit her away. That was when Lilith felt the pain.
    She reached up to her head, and she felt the large gash that had been sliced into her head, just above her ear. She realised that it had been Aquila's sword that had whacked her away from Dragona. She cursed herself as she realised that that would probably kill her in a few moments. It had cut very deep, and Lilith's blood was dripping down the side of her face as she leant forward to get up.
    Lilith stood and looked around in time to see Dusk bending over Aquila. He took hold of her shoulders and threw her into the wall behind Dragona and stepped forward to attack her again.
    In the next few seconds, time seemed to slow down. Lilith could see her friends fighting with the other two girls, trying their best to keep the infected at bay. She saw Dragona, laying unconcious on the floor. And she saw Dusk stepping towards Aquila to kill her. Lilith leapt up, acting on instinct, and she ran at Dusk, taking him by surprise. She shoved him in the side, hard, pushing him away from Aquila.
    Aquila looked up, dazed, but when she saw Lilith, she was suddenly on her feet. "Who's side are you on?!" She yelled.
    Dusk was ready again, staring at Lilith. "Go on, kill them!" He ordered her.
    "No." She said simply, then she charged at him. She ran forward, but as soon as she was within a metre of him, he shoved her roughly off to the side with ease. She fell, but was back up on her feet in a second. She ran again, but was stopped suddenly by the hand that closed around her neck and lifted her from the ground. Dusk looked up at her, his gaze not so angry, more pittying. She grasped at his hand, her fingers slipping off his uselessly. And then Kallista was there, tackling him to the ground.
    Lilith fell, Dusk letting go, allowing her to breathe again. She gasped for air as she dropped. She looked up at Kallista as she jumped back from Dusk when he attacked.
    Lilith glanced around the room from where she was on the floor, and saw that most of the infected were gone, all of the others preparing to help fight off Dusk. He looked up from fighting Kallista, and, seeing that he was now outnumbered, was suddenly very nervous.
    Dragona was standing again, over by the wall, and Aquila was stood in front of him. She looked as if she was trying to protect him, and Dragona could see that and was trying to get her to move away. He didn't really lik people acting like he needed protection.
    Kallista was stood right in front of Dusk, and the other two were behind Lilith somewhere, obviously getting ready to fight Dusk with the others. Isabella stepped forward, just into Lilith's line of sight.
    There was silence through the whole room as Dusk realised that he was alone. Lilith wasn't with him anymore. The infected were all gone now. He stood there, looking around the room at all of the people that were going to fight him.
    They were all dead still. And then Dusk ran. He leapt forward with inhuman speed, pushing Kallista back when she tried to stop him. He grabbed Lilith, pulling her back with him as he headed towards the door. He held her so that she was facing the others, and whispered harshly in her ear. "I warned you!"
    And then he yelled in shock and pain as an arrow shot through his shoulder right beside Lilith's head, forcing him to let go of her.
    "Jaffa!" Kallista cried in relief as a girl who looked to be about Lilith's age came sauntering into the room.
    "Thought I'd come and join the party!" She said, a calm smile on her face.
    Dusk glared up at her and reached to grab her, but she whacked his arm away before he could get close. Then they were all on him, running to fight him sooner.
    He looked at them, and he was gone, running faster than anyone could blink.
    They were still for a minute, before the girl called Jaffa finally turned towards Lilith. "Name's Jaffa Morbid! Pleased to meet you!" But one of the girls that Lilith didn't know stepped forward before she could shake hands.
    "She's with the enemy!" She said.
    "No Skylara, she's not!" Kallista said, stepping forward. "Dusk tried to kill her! Do you think that means that they're working together?"
    Skylara glared at Lilith but said nothing. Then the other girl stepped forward. "She went against Dusk just now Skylara. She's with us now." And they all looked at Lilith as she stood there, wondering how they could still like her.

Part 12

"I knew it!" Skylara shouted suddenly, making them all jump. "You trusted a vampire guys! A vampire! It was bound to happen!"
    Kallista expected Lilith to look up at Skylara and say something like: "Bound to happen? I haven't gone and betrayed my friends if that's what you mean!" But instead she just stood there, not making eye-contact with anybody.
    Isabella stared, gaping. "Lilith..." She said, stopping short and shaking her head. But Dragona just finished her sentence off for her.
    "You can't seriously be siding with Dusk?!"
    And then Dusk stepped forward. "Of course she is." He said calmly. "I'm the one who made her what she is." Lilith fritted her teeth but said nothing.
    Kallista, seeing this and obviously remembering all of the times when Lilith had cursed herself for what she was, screamed at him. "SO IT WAS YOU!" She yelled. "SHE HATES HERSELF BECAUSE OF YOU!" And then she ran forward, attacking. Aquila tried to grab her back, as she was the closest, but Kallista's clothes just slipped through her fingertips. "Kallista, don't!" She called.
    Kallista raised her weapon to hit Dusk, but Lilith was suddenly there, grabbing her arm as she brought it down. Kallista looked up in shock at Lilith's face. She gasped as Lilith flung her back towards the others. Dragona and Isabella gasped too, but the other three just glared.
    Dusk nodded, the hints of a smile on his face.
    Aquila, March and Skylara stepped forward to attack Dusk and Lilith, but Dusk gestured towards the infected, and they sprang in onto the little group. They began to fight.
    But Dragona wasn't going to be distracted. He swerved away from his attackers, expertly dodging there swipes. He ran at Dusk, who was just leaving through the door. Again, Lilith stepped in front. She tried to block Dragona's hit, but he just moved it onto her. He punched her round the side of the face knocking her to the floor, and she looked up as he stared down at her no emotion showing on his face.
    She shook her head and he came at her. She ducked her head down to the floor and kicked her legs out in a large circle. He fell, tripping over he ankles, and she got up. He reached out to grab her and pull her back down, but she lashed out with the leg he tried to take, kicking him in the side of the head. He clenched his teeth and whacked her hard in the side of her leg, but still, she stayed standing.
    Lilith didn't know how she was doing it. Dragona had always been so much better at fightin than her. But she felt so... angry, and yet so miserable. It was like there was a huge fight going on inside her as well as outside. She didn't even seem to think about her actions, she just fought.
    She kicked Dragona again, in the side this time, and moving faster than was fair for him. She heard a loud snap as her boot hit the side of his chest, and she looked up when she saw some movement across the room. Dusk was stood there, by the door, properly grinning now. "The first kill is yours." He said, and he leant back against the doorframe to watch.

Part 11

They were back at the house. The medical equipment turned out to be very good, and they thought that they would probably be able to put it to good use. And so, they had decided that while they were here, they may as well discuss their next move.
    "We have no idea where she'll be!" Isabella said. "How are we supposed to find her?"
    "In a very clever way." Dragona said, not even looking in her direction.
    She glared at him. "Helpful!" She said sarcastically.
    The others weren't really paying much attention to what was going on, and so they weren't having very much luck in solving their problem.
    Skylara stood in the corner, not sying much. Her glittery eyes scanned the room, but even so, it seemed as if she wasn't really all there. And then she spoke. "There's someone upstairs." She said. Everyone looked at her. "There is someone upstairs." She told them again.
    Aquila stepped forward. "You're hearing things. You can't hear anything from up there right down here! And the door's locked! How could anyone get in?"
    Kallisata flinched and Aquila turned. "Oh, yeah right. Well, I can't see why that person would come back. Okay, so they were able to climb in through the window, they already got what they came for!"
    They shrugged it off, and Dragona started trying to get everyone to start thinking about Lilith again.
    But Skylara wasn't paying attention to any of it. Yes, Aquila had been right. She couldn't hear anything that was going on upstairs from down here, but she just... knew. There was someone else in the building, and it was bothering her.
    March noticed. She came over. "Are you alright?" She asked softly so that the others ouldn't crowd around them.
    Skylara looked up and stared at her for a moment, before coming back into reality. "Huh? Uh, oh yeah! I'm fine!"
    March nodded uncertainly and walked away slowly.
    They spoke about their plans, not really knowing what they were yet. And then the door opened.
    They rushed in, ten of them at the most, all of them infected people. The group of friends in the middle  of the room prepared for a fight, but a moment later, Isabella, Kallista, and Dragona all took a step back.
    The others looked up as Dusk entered the room. But they soon realised that he wasn't what their friends were staring at. It was the young, pale girl that stood in front of him. She had black hair that went just over her shoulders and was tinged red at the bottom, and her eyes were pravtically black, the way many vampire's eyes were.
    "I'm sorry." She mouthed to them all.

Part 10

It was dark. It was pitch black in fact.
    Lilith stared into the darkness. Some clouds had moved over the moon.
    Light suddenly shone across the ground, illuminating the world around Lilith. She thought about how she could be a horrible monster again... she could, but she wasn't. She wasn't because luckily Dusk had allowed her some serum for the task ahead. Lilith flinched at the thought of what she was about to do.
    Dusk came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder, as if he were her father. "Are you ready?" He asked. Lilith had never been any less ready for anything in her whole life, but despite this, she nodded.
    "Then let's go." Dusk said quietly, and he began to walk towards the house.
    Lilith followed slowly after. She decided that the house must've been the one that she had been in the day before. It had the same abandoned look about it.
    Dusk's men came up behind them both. They were all just infected people. Dusk and Lilith were the only proper vampires here.
    They appraoched slowly, taking their time. They then reached the wall and Dusk called his men forward quietly. He nodded up to the top window that was open. They began to climb, and Lilith was actually impressed.
    They reached the top and opened the window wider. They climbed inside and swung down a rope. Obviously Dusk felt that climbing with just his hands was too low for him. He offered it to Lilith first. She just shook her head and Practically jogged up the wall, trying to show him that it really wasn't that hard.
    He used the rope anyway, and was up there seconds later.
    They crept through the house, looking out for their target (Lilith would not think of them as her friends or ex-friends). They went down the corricor and heard voices from a door that stood half open.
    Dusk quietly instructed Lilith to check if they were all there. Inside there were six people. Kallista, Isabella, and Dragona, and then three more that Lilith didn't know. She shrugged at Dusk, and so he sent out a small group of the infected to search the house, and kill whoever they found.
    That last part made Lilith feel sick inside. She grimaced, but pushed those thoughts away.
    They went closer to the door, Dusk stood behind Lilith, observing her every movement. The left over infected were waiting for the order that would send them in to attack the people inside this room.

    Lilith stared at the door as Dusk spoke. "It's your move." He said. "You order the kill..."

Part 9

"We're sorry, but we need to ask for your help." Dragona said to his three friends.

    "What we ask might be a bit shocking." Kallista said. They all started looking rather worried.

    "Our friend has been kidnapped by... someone. She was unconciuos when it happened." Dragona told them. "And we need you to help us find her to get her back."

    "Well then, what are we waiting for?" Aquila asked impatiently. Aquila Felis had long brown hair and brown eyes. She stood there, wanting to go, with her sword at the ready.
    "Aquila, we need to tell you something first." Kallista told her. "You might not want to help if we do but you need to know. Our friend... she is a vampire." Immediately after Kallista said that, they were talking over eachother, shouting about how they didn't want to go off and help some unknown vampire. They made faces at the thought, then they all turned to walk away.
    "No, wait!" Dragona ran up to the gruop to stop them. "She isn't like that! She was attacked! She was attacked when she was changed and she never wanted to be what she is, so it isn't her fault! She swore to us that she would never go against us!"
    "Your point is?" Skylara said. Skylara Wolfbane looked about nineteen and had brown hair and glittery silver eyes."You can't trust her, no matter how many times she's said she's your friend!"
    "Yeah." March Pathway frowned at dragona. She was a very friendly and had dark crimson hair that was close to black. She had bright blue eyes, and she looked about eleven. "Dragona, Kallista... you know that I'd normally want to help you but... a vampire? Sorry."
    Kallista and Dragona stared after them. Isabella stood behind them, not saying anything. They were devastated.
    Then Isabella spoke up. "So you're LEAVING?!" She yelled. The others turned in surprise at her outburst. "You're leaving why? Because she's a vampire? Well if she doesn't want to be, then you can hardly use that against her! And anyway, if you don't help us, then we'll just go on our own! Imagine what we'll be walking into, for our friend! Who do you think would kidnap a vampire, knowing how angry they'll get when she wakes up?! If you won't help us, then that's just going to make you feel bad later!" She stopped and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes. "Sorry." She mumbled, then she turned and walked back past dragona and Kallista.
    Aquila, Skylara and March stared after her. March stepped forward. "I'll help." She said. "We're in." The others said in unision.

Part 8

Lilith stood there, looking off into the back of the room and pretending to not be paying attention. She didn't want to do this, but she had to find out what Dusk was up to, so she listened out for anything big.
    "Will you please pay attention?" Dusk asked her angrily.
    She sighed and turned back to him. It really was very boring, and Lilith was finding it hard to keep focused.
    Dusk looked at her, and he seemed to see how she felt. "Or would you like to go back on our deal?"
    She was instantly stood up straight, remembering what they had done before. "No! No, I won't go back on our deal!" She touched the part of her forearm where the scar was. They hadn't just let her join them happily. It had hurt before, so she had no wish to have it done again.
    Dusk looked at her for a moment longer. "Good." he finally said.
    Lilith stayed there for another few minutes, but she could not keep her thoughts on the men. They continued discussing their strategies, and Lilith was finding it really boring.
    But finally, they said something that caught her attention. They spoke her friend's names.
    "They will need to be taken down." Said Dusk to the other men around the room.
    Lilith was horrified. "NO!" She yelled. Everyone stared at her.
    Dusk's eyes narrowed. "No?" He asked.
    Lilith just looked around, eyes wide.
    "You will do as I say." Dusk told her, looking back to the men dismissively.
    "You are not my leader!" Lilith burst out.
    He turned his head sharply, and she was on the floor in a second.
    "You will do as I say." Dusk repeated. "Or I will kill you and your friends."
    Lilith lay there, weak and helpless. She gave in right away. "Okay." She croaked. Her throat felt sore, and she felt like someone had just punched her in the gut.
    Dusk nodded and stood, leaving Lilith to stand on her own.
    "We will attack them tonight!" He announced. Then he turned to Lilith again. "And you will be leading the way."

Part 7

"Aquila, we need to gather the guys." Dragona spoke into his phone as he drove through the streets.

    "Okay, I'll get them ready!" She hung up.

    Dragona put his phone back in his pocket. He thought, as he drove, about the time when he had first met Lilith. He thought about the first time she had come to Ireland. She had been living in England until something had happened. She would never talk about it.

    She had been walking through the streets, looking around. It was raining, and so itwas a very gray day.

    Dragona had seen instantly what she was. He had walked up to her, walking at her pace by her side.

    "What are you doing?" He had asked.

    "What?" She looked rather confused.

    "I'm not going to let you just go stalking around here, looking for someone else to kill." He had said harshly.

    She had then looked at him suddenly, and stared. She looked as if she was going to cry. "How do you know?" She had asked him.

    "You're a vampire... isn't it obvious?"

    "A what?!"

    He stopped and looked at her. She seemed genuinly surprised.

    "That's what I am? You... and you know about me?"

    He just looked at her.

    "You need to help me!" She had suddenly said. "You need to help me! Please!" Dragona had stepped away from her then.

    "What do you mean, help you?" He asked her.

    "I don't know what to do! I killed-" She stopped. She had then looked down at the ground. "No one can help me." She had murmured, then she turned and walked quickly away.

    Dragona had known that it was probably a bad idea, but she had seemed so... confused and helpless. She obviously didn't know what she was as well as she should, and if she didn't know that, then she would have nowhere that she could keep herself locked in at night. Dragona didn't want a vampire running loose around town. So he had stopped her and offered his help.

    Soon after, he introduced her to Kallista, and they had become friends. They weren't the closest of friends, but they were happy to help eachother.

    That had been a few months ago actually. Lilith had only met Dragona and Kallista a while ago, but they still knew that they could count on her.

    Well, they knew that they could count on her about as much as you could count on a vampire...

Part 6

Lilith stared. She stared at Dusk, not understanding what he meant. She shook her head slowly. He scowled.
    "Choose wisely girl."
    She continued shaking her head. "What are you talking about?..."
    "You are on the wrong side. You are a vampire."
    "Please don't remind me!"
    "I created you. You should be with us."
    "Us?"
    Dusk just waited.
    Lilith wanted to say no. She wanted to say that she hated him for what he'd done to her. She wanted to tell him to do his worst, and tell him that she was not going against her friends.
    Lilith sat there and opened her mouth to say this all, but was absolutely horrified when she discovered that she couldn't. She couldn't make herself say it. He was, after all, right. She was a vampire. She was a disgusting monster. And he was the same as her. He might help.
    Lilith sat there, as Dusk's face slowly became more and more assured and calm. He obviously believed that she would say yes.
    This made Lilith furious. He should not assume such things!
    "No." She finally said.
    Dusk raised an eyebrow, but he did not anger. "No?"
    Lilith just nodded, not able to trust herself with any more than that.
    "Are you sure?"
    Lilith stared at him for a moment. "Of course." She finally said.
    Dusk stood there, deciding what to do. He stood straighter suddenly. "Then I have no use for you." He walked into the darkness and opened the door that he came through. "You may dispose of her now." He said, then he walked quickly out, and away from the room.
    THe man who had slapped Lilith before came into the room, and as he came into veiw, Lilith saw that he was smiling. "This will be fun."
    "You can't just kill me while I'm strapped to a chair!" Lilith told him.
    "I can, and I will."
    "Where's your dignity?" Lilith asked him, pointing her nose away from him.
    He just stood there looking confused.
    "You should let me stand, or you will become a completely bad person.
    At this he smiled. "I think I can live with that." He said. Oops.
    The man stalked towards Lilitth, the smile now back on his face. Lilith lost her confidence. He was really going to kill her. Her friends didn't know where she was this time. She had no help coming. There was no way out. She decided to do something she'd never done before. Her last chance. She begged.
    "Please." She said. "You don't have to kill me. You could just let me go! Dusk would never know, would he?"
    The man just smiled more.
    "But really, you don't have to kill me, do you? Dusk just said that he had no use for me, right? Well that doesn't neccesserily mean that I have to die!"
    "If it's what I've been told to do, and so I'll do it."
    Lilith could see no way of stopping this man, and she didn't want to die. No matter how revolting she was, she wasn't suicidal. She shrunk back as the man advanced slowly. He was trying to enjoy it more. Lilith started blurting out anything she could think of to stop him. She was desperate.
    "You don't need to follow his orders! You can be your own man! I am! Well I'm actually my own woman, but what's the difference! And would you like to die? No I don't think so! I don't! Please don't kill me! I don't want to die! I'll join you if you'll let me live, just please!" Lilith was well aware that she was making an idiot out of herself. She closed her eyes, knowing the man would not pay attention. But she was surprised. He stopped. Lilith opened her eyes. She stared at him.
    "I'm not allowed to kill you if you agree." He explained in a rather dissapointed voice.
    "Agree?"
    "So you don't?" He asked excited again.
    Lilith shook her head quickly. "No! Yes! Umm... Of course I do!"
    The man frowned and pulled out some device. It could have been a phone, it could have been a walkie talkie. Lilith couldn't tell with this light.
    "She's said yes." The man spoke into it, then he put it back in his pocket. Dusk is coming back. He said gloomily.
    He left, right as Dusk came back in. "You said yes." Dusk said as a statement.
    Lilith stared in horror. What had she done?!
