It's been weeks.
Probably even months.
I've lost count.
Lilly has warmed up to us, ever since I took care of her so-called father, and revealed that she prefers to go by Lilly.
I've spent weeks helping Xander and Angel with Lilly, helping her adapt to this new world she has. She told me about all the times she'd get in trouble and get a punishment. It took a while and a lot of convincing, but she slowly opened up.
I've slowly regained control over my hunger, thankfully.
I take a sip of my water as I stare down at the book on the counter. It's the same one I've looked at a million times before. I've almost memorized the entire three pages that there are.
"I want you to teach me to fight." Lilly suddenly says, appearing out of nowhere. Her words cause me to choke on my drink, and I begin to cough, choking on the water.
When my coughing fit ends, I stare at her in disbelief. "You what?" I ask, staring at her with wide eyes.
"I want to protect myself, Lynn. Xander and Angel said it was a good idea, too!" She exclaims, and I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose.
"I don't want to hurt yo—" I cut off as I see a dark figure standing above her. She's still staring at me expectantly. The figure begins to raise its hand toward her.
"Run." I order.
"What?" She asks, clearly confused.
"Lilly, run!" I yell, and she listens. The figure growls and lunges at me, pushing me back against the counter. I yell out in pain as I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder.
I shove it off, grabbing a hold of my shoulder as I glare at it. I see a faint smirk before the figure fades. I collapse to my knees, my hands holding my body up. My eyes flutter as I feel my body getting heavy. "Son of a bitch." I whisper before falling to the floor.

"Xander!" Lilly yells as she runs upstairs into my bedroom where I relax on my bed.
