Devil's eye

Chapter IV

I didn’t answer. I knew that, whatever the answer I choose, it will sound weird. So I just went to my room and read a book which Sir Frank gave me, but it wasn’t helpful at all, in my opinion. After my meeting with him, I slept a bit. At first, I just heard those two voices fighting:
„She needs to see.“

See what?

„What actually happened.“

She is not ready for this, it will keep her here for a very long time.

„Come on, she knows perfectly how to hide everything in a smile.“

Not much, alright?

„Fine.“

I was in front of our old house, and saw my old me running into it. I wanted to turn back, but then I heard the voice again.

„You have to go there, Lilith.“

And why?

„I want to show you something.“

Something you will never forget.

I went there, and I asked „where do I have to go?“, the voice answered:

„Remember that place where your parents hung themselves?“

I said: I will never go there again!

„If you don’t want to, I have to do something for you that you’ll regret.“

I went there.
„You see the facial expressions of your parents?“

Lilith: Yes.

„Look how they smile.“

Lilith: It hurts to see them like that.

„We’re almost done. What is in your mother’s hand?“

Lilith: A little piece of paper.

„I don’t think that you are ready to open it, are you?“

Lilith: No.

„Listen, I can make you stronger, and maybe in a few months you will be even ready to read it, the only thing you have to do is…“

She wants your soul, Lilith.

„I wasn’t done yet! To make it kind of fair for you, I will take your soul through the night time.“

Lilith: What do you have in plans?

„Nothing. You will see.“

Lilith: Ok.

I can’t tell how much I missed to be alive. I’m sorry to do this Lilith, but this girl is useless for us in the moment. You will become emotional, and that’s the last thing in the world that we need. I can feel her, she’s in bathroom. Sad that she will commit suicide, like your parents did, she just couldn’t get over her problems. With what shall I start? „Hello, I’m sorry that I am a bit strange“? Nah, we will see how her reaction is. But what is a teenage girl doing in a bathroom at the middle of the night? Be her shadow, Ilsen. She cries. I think it’s better for both of us to start more motivated.

Ilsen: There is an easy way to make your pain stop, Cyra.

Cyra: Lilith? How did you get here?

Ilsen: I was here before you came.

Cyra: It’s not possible, I would’ve seen you.

Ilsen: My turn to ask some questions, I know that you were lying. Tell me what actually happened. We are friends, aren’t we? And friends should trust each other, shouldn’t they?

Cyra: I…I can’t.

Ilsen: Shall I show you how to make your pain stop in less than 3 minutes?

Cyra: Sure.

Ilsen: Ok, so…

When Lilith will ask me what happened, I will tell her the half of the truth: I made an offer, in this case to kill her, and she said yes. Was it my fault to ask? Well, at the end of the year she will get over it.

I came closer, and she understood after a few seconds that I’m not Lilith. Her last words:

Cyra: Wait, you aren’t Lilith… What are you?

Ilsen: Don’t I look human-alike or what’s your problem?

Cyra: Your eyes, your facial expression… it’s not natural…

She wanted to run away, but one look at the door and she knew that it was locked.

Ilsen: I’m not Lilith, I am Ilsen.

And then I hit her that hard that she fell on the floor.

Cyra: What… did I do… wrong?

Ilsen: You made Lilith talk.

I threw her against the mirror, but I wasn’t done yet. Of course I had a knife with me, because I went to the cafeteria first.

Ilsen: Any last words? I don’t think so. See you in hell!

She didn’t even open her eyes or scream, I’m so proud of her. Maybe she wanted to die, we will never know, I guess.
