The Sentinel Demon

Chapter 8: Soulmate

Continued...

   I realize I could be choking her and let go, pulling my dagger back, "Shit, sorry..." I curse. Wait. Fuck. Great impression, Gabriel. An actual demon would have attempted to kill her.

   I slip my dagger back into the holster before crossing my arms, looking at Lilith. She stands almost as tall as me, dressed in a long light-purple dress. Her hair is long, wavy, and black, her eyes an alluring violet.

   Lilith doesn't say anything for a minute, just seeming to look me over as she thinks. Fuck, she's gonna kill me. Most demons are scared of Lilith, and I can see why from what I've heard about her. I guess I'm one of the one's that fear her. But I can honestly say I only fear her to a point. She's done some pretty malicious things. Worse than I've ever done.

   "Lucifer messed up with you, didn't he? " Is the first thing she says, making me frown lightly. I keep getting told this.

   "How did you know I needed to talk to you?" I ask, knowing there's no other reason she would be standing here unless she knew.

   Lilith shrugs, "Usually I don't bother coming around when I hear myself being spoken of...but there was this uncanny feeling I got this time; And it came from you. You're not supposed to be here." I raise a brow.

   "What do you mean?" I ask, now confused.

   "You're supposed to be in heaven. I can sense it. Well, you were supposed to be in heaven, but apparently your fate has changed."

   I furrow my eyebrows, "How would it change?" I ask. Lilith thinks again, looking at me. Suddenly, she smiles.

   "A woman." Rosemary. Fuck, why is she the first person I thought of?

   "I..." Shit, what do I even say? Anything I could say right now could get back to Lucifer through her. Then Rosemary, everyone she knows, and I would all be dead-dead.

   "Don't worry, honey, I won't be telling Lucifer. He can rot in hell for all I care." He basically is. "Now, I want to know exactly what it is you need from me."

   I clear my throat, "Well I...I kind of am going against Lucifer at the moment, so I really don't want to cause any-"
  
   "You don't need to have a worry at all about that. I strive every day to be nothing like that...thing. So please, tell me." Lilith seems nicer in person than I have heard others speak of her. Then again it could be one of her tricks or illusions.

   I guess I should trust she will not speak to Lucifer. Lucifer used to rave like a teenager when I first met him, all about how much of a bitch Lillith was. It had been over a century and he was still going through the break up phase. That's part of the reason I told him I wanted to be on my own, kill on my own.

   I nod my head, "About four years ago, I saved this mortal girl from a car crash—where she had been bitten by a werewolf. I...there was just something about her, and I couldn't leave her after that. I have been watching over her since then, and recently she got into another car crash...and bitton again by the same werewolf. But this time, she seen me. The girl jumped off a fucking roof to get me to show myself-" I shake my head at the thought. Technically she slipped, but still. "And more recently, I...I kissed her. But right after it happened...my heart started beating again." Lilith's eyes slightly widen and she looks at me in pure shock. I can only imagine what my face looked like.

   "Well...that's...not what I was expecting. At all." Lilith admits, rubbing the back of her neck. "So do you think you might...love her?" She asks, forcing the word love out of her mouth. I swallow hard, thinking about it. Fuck...
