UnknownThe following night

I cradled my Lilith to my chest and sweetly whispered the same  lies and tales of stories about princes and princesses, as I was told when I was young. I hummed a sweet tune to her and stroked her small, delicate, fragile soft cheeks.

I heard quiet footsteps creep up behind me, as I turned my head I saw him. His beautiful smile could take my breath away.. but I don't believe in fairy tales, nor do I believe in a happily ever after.. not anymore anyway.

" Is she alright?" He whispers softly.  I nodded in reply and turned my attention back to my sweet, precious girl.

" She's beautiful. She looks just like her mum, an angel" He announced sweetly, his voice still quiet.

I smile warmly at him, but remembered that we had to stay focused. "Have you completed your task? have you gained their trust?" I question him in a hushed tone. Lately I have made him keep tabs on a variety of people and to keep me updated with their movements.  That helps of course, but due to our criminal records he can hack into the data base and find out where they go weekly, due to their weekly check ups. It won't last for long of course with Paul's dad being the head of police in the town and all, he'd probably sort it out in a couple of weeks. I need to do this before hand.

" Almost" he mumbled as he placed his head on my shoulder and slithered his arms around me, holding me tightly.

" It's almost time.. but I have a slight change in plans that would benefit us greatly. After the announcements made the other night I realised we could use them to our advantage.. and I had an Idea of how I can mess up the next deal" I informed him.

" Is that where I come in?" a voice  near the door asked.
