Chapter Twenty-Six

Six months later:

Third-person pov:

Lilith woke up from her sleep from the same night if the bomb blast that night. She is gasping for air while tears stream down her face. Her room door opens a lady came inside. She turns on the lights and saw Lilith sobbing loudly. She hugged her in her arms and said gently: "shh relax dear, everything is fine"

Lilith keep on sobbing with hiccups while saying only one word: "my family"

She said gently: "look you're safe, everything is fine"

Lilith calm down after some time and the lady said gently helping her to lay down: "shh go to sleep dear, everything will be fine"

Lilith closed her eyes but she is only seeing the blast scene and her family's faces. The lady left the room and Lilith is still awake staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. She is missing her family and she wants her family with herself.

It's six months since everything happened. Lilith wakes up at the hospital after two weeks and gets to know that there is no information about her family. The officers said they were dead but Lilith didn't believe it. She believes that her family is alive and they will come to get her back home, her home.

Those officers send Lilith to this orphanage and that lady is the caretaker of the orphanage. She is nice to her and always take care of her. Lilith stopped talking and just say only say one thing is my family.

----------------------------

Lilith is sitting in the garden leaning against a pillar while her eyes are glued to the exit of the orphanage in a hope that her family will come and get her. She always sat there and look at the door. She didn't play with anyone and just sit there.

Liam came and asked her to come with him. His mother is ready to adopt her but Lilith didn't want to go. Adam also came and ask her to stay with him but she said no. She believes that her family will come and get her one day.

She gets tired so she gets up and went inside the orphanage. She went towards Mrs Miller then write down on her notepad: "can I go out for some time?"

She said gently: "dear you know, it's not good"

Lilith give her soft eyes and she said gently: "okay fine, here take my phone and call me if something happened"

Lilith nodded at her and get a phone from her hand and slide it into her pocket. She went out of the house and start walking towards her old house. She reach there and saw her whole house burnt. She went inside the house and saw things here and there.

Tears flowed fr her eyes while she is looking at touching things. She sat down in the outside garden and cry her heart out for her family to come back. She didn't even realise It gets dark and she rushed back to the orphanage, don't want to get into any trouble.

She reaches the door and takes a few deep breaths to calm down her heavy breathing. She rushed inside and bump into Mrs miller. She give her a stern look and asked: "what took you so long?"

Lilith frowned and start looking down then she said simply: "a man is waiting for you inside. He is yelling at everyone for letting you go outside alone"

Lilith frowned and she said simply: "we don't know him, he never came here before"

Lilith rushed inside the office and stopped at the door holding the knob with her shaky hands. She keeps staring at the man's back who is sitting on the chair. Mrs Miller said simply behind: "Mr Blade"

Alexander gets up and turns around making Lilith's eyes widen. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she rushed towards him. He kneeled in front of her and open his arms for her. He hugged her tightly and tears filled his eyes. He said gently: "I miss you so much, princess"
