Love And Hatred (GXG)

Twenty Five

Sorry for not posting this weekend, I was hit by a car. But I'm fine now!💪  (My whole body is aching)

When Lilith finally arrived she seemed disheveled and worried. I wondered what had happened and I even asked her, but I received no answer. She told me not to go out at all and that she would have to take care of some more things with Selma. It took another few days until I saw her again after that.

I was upset that Lilith did not want to tell us what was going on because it was clear she was having problems with something. Was it the council? It had to be, despite being kicked out she was still heavily involved with them as if she was still a member.

When Lilith had finally come home for "good" I was given answers to my questions. "Where have you been?" I asked. Her answer was simple. "City, speaking to the council." She told us she had planned something big and would not explain it further. I was worried for her, worried that she had gotten herself into something dangerous.

"I threatened the council, told them if nothing was going to get done then someone would come and force them. I should not have, I am their enemy now." It sounded alarming, but I was sure she still had some supporters in the council, like her sister whom I never wanted to see again.

"What does this mean? Are they after you?" I asked.

"Well, it means I should probably not show up there anymore and that I need to find enough people to bring down the entire council, otherwise nothing will change." Lilith sighed and stared at me for a great while until she hugged me close to her. "What is bothering you?"

"I had something I wanted to ask you." I did not want to change the subject, but the question had been in the back of my mind since it happened. I wanted answers, what if it happens again and I hurt; or worse, kill someone? She sat us down on the couch, Reagan stood by the window watching our interaction silently. "I- I saw something, something that was not there and I hurt Reagan in the process of it, how do I make it stop?" I asked.

Lilith's eyes traveled to Reagan before focusing on me again. "What did you see?" She asked. I told her exactly what I had seen and what had happened during it all. How I had attacked Reagan not knowing it was her. "I have seen this before, it happens when you experience a traumatic event, and sometimes like in your situation, they will relive the event. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it."

To say I was disappointed was an understatement, I had to live with it for the rest of my life. "Tell yourself that she is dead, that she is not out to hurt you because she no longer can. You have people around you that will and can protect you." Lilith assured me, it helped a bit, but she had said I was safe before while I wasn't so was it wrong of me to be skeptical?

"Okay," I replied. I had to take her word for it, she had promised things she could not keep before, but I was going to give her one more chance. "You said you are going to bring down the council?" Reagan asked attempting to change the subject which I was grateful for.

Lilith sighed. "Yes, however, I lack people, I need people and power to do so; which is hard to find these days. Most vampires are comfortable with how it is today,  and most wolves are in captivity and cannot fight, whiches are rare, I am lucky to have Selma on my side, but it would not be enough." It was a tricky situation, and as Lilith said, we did need more people to fight for the cause.

"I might find some help from outside the island, I have met quite a few witches that would love to fight this injustice." Selma chimed in, she had been listening to our conversation for a while, I knew it because I could smell her. Her scent was very unique compared to others. "How?" I asked.

"I use magic to communicate with them, however, it can take some time before I receive an answer. Would you like me to try?" She looked at Lilith, and my mate nodded in approval. Selma left the room to do her weird magic things in hopes of getting more people. It was always nice seeing people that were not werewolves support our cause.
