The Devil Wears Pink (Ben Hargreeves) [discontinued]

CHAPTER SEVEN - MOMMY DEAREST

mom chuckles "eggs are ready!" mom quickly turns around quickly

she happily turns to face us again, two plates in her hands as she places them in front of luther and allison

"breakfast is the most important meal of the day. now eat up. all three of you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"i can't believe that you'd actually think that mom would do something like that!" lilith yells as she storms in the living room while luther and allison chase after her

lilith clumsily puts on one sneaker and hops on one foot as she tries to find her other shoe "lilith, you don't understand" luther insists

allison nods her head "please, let us explain!" lilith turns to them, a hand on her hip "alright then explain," she crosses her arms as she starts circling the two "explain how you could even think that mom would kill him? she's our mother she'd never do that!"

"she's just a machine" luther states

lilith clenches her fist and next thing she knew she had back handed luther, apparently it was strong enough for him to stagger back from shock "just a machine?" she whispers

luther had no right
no right to defend a monster and blame the angel, the only person who could give them any sort of love when they were younger

the one who had stood outside the gate when she had free time to greet five in hopes that he'd return, because she hoped he'd be back

the one who had helped diego through his stutter and made him feel unafraid, because she believed in him

the one who knew that klaus wore her dresses and makeup, and even bought him his own wardrobe and makeup set on his birthday, because she accepted him

the one who'd never force ben to do things he didn't want to, because she thought he was brave for admitting he was afraid

the one who tried her best to let allison have a normal teenage life, to talk about boys, gossip and experience love and heartbreak, because she knew that allison deserved better

the one who never missed a moment to let vanya know she was loved and that she was special, the only one to sit through vanya's performance and not get bored or doze off, because she believed she was extraordinary

the one who refused to leave lilith's bedside after every traumatic training session with her father, during ben's funeral she had never left lilith's side, because she didn't want lilith to feel alone

the one who could actually love luther, no matter how annoying and aggravating he could be, because she loved him

she loved all of them

so how could he?

"just a fucking machine?!" lilith yells out, for a brief moment allison sees the devil flash before her eyes and gasps, seeing that lilith's light brown eyes had momentarily shifted to the color red

she shoved luther forcefully and glares at him "that machine is our mother! she is the only one in this fucking world that could ever love someone like you!" lilith shouts, allison only watches the scene unravel before her, not ever attempting to stop lilith
