In The Garden ( a tale of love and blood)

Chapter 7

A TRUTH UNDERGROUND

just like Lilith had promised I had returned to the fire pits known as hell and damn was sad.

she promised me during the week that the modern-day appliances that I had requested would arrive and be put into place.

so, I guess that could be considered a plus.

but Lilian seemed to be the most bummed out about being back.

but also seemingly joyful about the fact that we wouldn't see Lilith for a while,

so it was just me and her. and it was nice but that look she would give me any time id seemingly remember being pregnant with Lilith's child always broke me.

"Lilian what's got you so bothered." 

looking up from her cup of coffee she forced a smile "nothing my lady I'm fine.

but thank you for wondering" I rolled my eyes and sighed "cut the bullshit, Lilian.

ever since you told me I was pregnant you've been all sulky as if I've just been diagnosed with an uncurable disease and you're not ready to let me go."

"I don't think I would be ready to let you go if you did get an incurable disease"

slapping her on the arm I put my head on the counter "that's beside the point. tell me what's wrong with you" Lilian let go of a heavy sigh her shoulders dropped

"well I guess I'm just jealous of Lilith. 

because she gets to be with an amazing person like you and have a child with you."

putting my hand on her shoulder Lilian looked at me full of sadness "I'm sure there is someone out there for you"

"Maybe. but it not easy when your one of a kind in a place like a hell"

"What do you mean by that" a chuckle left Lilian's showing of her fangs momentarily causing me to swallow the lump in my throat

'Jesus Christ why do I have such a teeth kink'

the thought of someone biting into our skins is just too hot to be controlled that's why.

"You ever wondered why Lilith's names are so similar."

"I kind of thought it was just lazy naming" licking her lips Lilian shook her head no

"Nah it's because Lilith named me. which is lazy naming on her part, but it has a long and long story attached to it"?

"Well can I hear it?" Lilian was shocked by my answer her eyebrows rising in shock "you want to hear it."

"Well yeah. I mean if I can make it through Lilith's sob story of her time 'in the garden' then it shouldn't be too bad."

Lilian sighed for like the fifth time in a row sitting down on the chair next to me she took a big gulp of her coffee "well then you better get comfortable because this will be a long and quite very boring story."

"I was born in the early 1700s I can't exactly remember the date it was 300 years ago or so. and as you probably know being born in the 1700s was like war. there were diseases bad living conditions bad hygiene practices and bad quality food. to think people, romanticize the 1700s is quite shocking to me. but anyways I had fallen ill with smallpox and my mother was a member of the Lilith cult. knowing that there was no cure she went to Lilith and begged her to save me and her Suprise, and she agreed. taking my sick baby body, she poured a small amount of her blood inside of me. not too much to make me exactly like her but just enough so we would be similar. and turned me into a demon. well not fully a demon."
