Lilith curse (On Hold)

chapter 9

*sorry for mistakes*

As Yui had her bath, Lilith's new power went to work. She summoned demon ingredients to put into Yui's bathwater: Flowering blood heart essence, a common essential oil to insight arousal. Nectar of the Dusk Hive, it's naturally sweet taste is addicting and leaves an arousal scent on the skin. Dried spices for added flavor and to encourage female ovulation, Hellfire berry syrup for added sweetness on the skin and to encourage male arousal, and finally crushed grave flowers from the Cursed Yard for enchantment purposes. Afterwards, Lilith summoned several colorful jagged glass bottles filled with concoctions of demon ingredients for hair and body ingredients.

"Here! The last batch I gave you wasn't the correct type for your hair and skin, this is a new and improved version!"

"You really don't have to do this for me, Lilith." Yui took the floating bottles and set them carefully down onto the surface near the tub. The pale green-haired spirit giggled in response. "It's no problem at all, really! You freed me from my mirror, so I owe you the world!"

"...If you say so."

Yui continued her bath, relaxing into the sweet-smelling hot water as she let out a sigh of relief. She couldn't remember the last time she didn't find herself with bitemarks, bruises, or dizzy from blood loss. It was quite peaceful, but every bliss had its own downfall. Ayato and Laito weren't interested in feeding off of her, they suddenly desired to sleep with her. She couldn't understand how this was happening, she was almost certain those two saw her lower than dirt and now they wanted to have sex with her? It's obvious Lilith had something to do with this, her tricking Yui into kissing the two made them like this. Should she confront her? Lilith fixed her body and made her full of life again, giving her these intricate clothes, beautiful bottles of cleansers and perfumes to take care of herself...Doesn't that seem ungrateful to someone who has already done so much? Yui sunk lower into her bathwater, feeling the warm up to her chin as closed her eyes. It was strange, Lilith was pushing her ideas very heavily onto her while it was obvious the brothers didn't like her romantically at all. It was a mutual feeling: How can you fall in love with someone who does nothing but berate and abuse you? Stockholm syndrome? It's not like Yui would have a happy end in the first place, she was pretty much sent to the Sakamaki brothers to die. Marrying one of them was a strange thought because none of them were husband material; they all have no problem slapping her around and almost sucking her dry, no husband would do that to his wife if he truly loved her. Yui tried to think back on the last time she was in love, digging deep into her memory in order remember:

Shivering in the pouring rain, a younger version of Yui cried crocodile tears from her eyes as she wailed out in fear. It was dark and foggy, the rain pelting against her skin and leaving behind its cold temperature. She only wanted to go catch some frogs for Sunday school and rainy weather was the perfect time to do so, only problem being that she got lost in the dense forest. She ran in there and lost track of time, trying to search for frogs fogged up her mind and the fact she needed to stay near the church left her mind when she was preoccupied. Yui's feet hurt from the aimless wandering she did, her hands were ice-cold and her pink raincoat and rainboots weren't doing much to keep her warm, underneath was just a cotton polo shirt and a black skirt with suspenders (didn't help either, and her voice was hoarse from the crying she had been doing. She thought if she was loud enough, her father would come and find her. Staying where she was, the young Yui huddled into a shivering ball at the base of a tree as she continued to cry. There was nothing around her, only cold rain hitting the soaked grassy ground and other surfaces ruthlessly and maybe the occasional animal making a noise from their safety in the trees.
