The Devil Wears Pink (Ben Hargreeves) [discontinued]

CHAPTER ELEVEN - GOODBYE DEVIL

when lilith was younger she hated the following:
her father
the devil
mint flavored ice cream
mint
and the room

the room was where her father pushed her deeper to her descent into madness. and as much as lilith hates to admit it, she used to be a sweet kid, a little angel

how ironic

the room was where she would spend her days feasting on the dead bodies of people she didn't know. at one point reginald had thrown in a living person who had robbed a bank, her father told her to eat him because he had committed a crime

she was about seven years old when she first ate a living breathing person

so i guess you could say that she was having a mini panic attack as soon as she opened her eyes and saw that she was inside the room

it looked the same, dead bodies everywhere, the walls and floors splotched with blood, and a few people being tortured on the walls

"no. no... i was finished with this. i am not doing this again!" she whispers shakily, the stench of the decaying bodies filling the air. it was a scent she was all too familiar with

the first part of your initiation, is facing your worst fear

lilith takes a deep breath and shuts her eyes "well i'm facing it, hell i'm looking straight at it, take me back now please!" she pleads, backing away from the heaps and piles of bodies before her

take a closer look at the bodies, lilith

she blinks, confused by the statement, but nevertheless she agrees to it. lilith takes a step forward and knelt down in front of one of the bodies, she pushes it a little to identify who they were

lilith's eyes widen and she screamed as she looked into the eyes of person. she staggers and falls to the ground, her body makes a soft splash against the pool of blood on the floor, she covers her mouth, and a dark red mark is smudged on her face

"k-klaus?" she whispers shakily, crawling back over to the body and brushing away his hair from his face "klaus..." she whimpers and holds him close "w-what happened?"

lilith looks over to the body next to him, the nimble, small and almost fragile corpse didn't need lilith to rush to check who it was for her to know

"v-vonnie?"

lilith looks up, and sees their bodies, the bodies of every one of her siblings piled together in the room

has your hunger been sated, lilith?

"congratulations, number eight" a voice lilith didn't expect to hear ever again boomed through the room. she didn't bother to turn her head, not wanting to meet his scowl

"but, i still long for the day you use your powers to its full potential" lilith does not reply, nor does she look at him. she shuts her eyes and pretends he was never there

"it's just a dream, it's just a dream"

lilith chants to herself, she tugs her arms in a sad attempt to calm herself. "this is not a dream, number eight. but i hope you take my words seriously; you and number four must stop holding back your powers"
