Becoming The Villainess

11..

Vivian was still in a reverie when Lilith called her.
She was dazed and just staring at the wooden board of the wagon as they rode.

"Vivian."
Lilith called.
"Vivian!."

Still no response.
Lilith gently tapped her shoulders and she flinched.
She looked up to Lilith warily and then their surroundings.
Her eyes were big, heavy and red.
She urgently clasped Lilith's hands in hers.
"Lilith let's just go back....please, they'll be after us as we speak."

Lilith sighed.
"Vivian, I'm not going back there, I don't want to."

She gently removed her hands from Vivian's and went deeper in the wagon.
"Can you ride the wagon for a while?, I need to study this book and the map...."

Saying that, she opened the book and turned all her focus on it.
It was begin to make sense.
All those weird fluttering feeling around her, she was suddenly 'sentimental', and yes, now, she knew what it meant.

The dark began the draw in and Lilith dozed off for just a while.

Vivian stared at Lilith's sleeping figure, and could only feel a sense of astonishment and gratitude.
Her lips curled up in a very much more confident smile as she steered the horse through a much more safer path away from the Manor's path.

Lilith__
She really did come and now-

Lilith stirred and a frown relapsed Vivian's face.
-we're in danger.....

......

The words echoed in her head and a melodic tone made her tense.
A song.
A very deep deep song...

_this voice seems familiar.

It sung so beautifully and smoothly, it slapped Lilith's ears.
With it's beauty and it's eloquence, it was like venom to her sensitive ears.

Something isn't right..

Lilith stared around in the dark chasm that seemed to emanate the sweet sounding tone from its every inch, and felt suffocated to the bone.

'Lilith~'

It called Lilith's name ever so sweetly and warmly, it irked Lilith.
Then it began to sing.

'~ when the sunshine blooms,

    My dearest true....

    In a chasm no souls....

    I won't let you go...
   
    With a song, stirred the heart, 

    you will thaw what was sad...

   A fallen noble and even a turel

   A bleeding heart, sapping melody..

    A risen crest, no burrels..

    A mended bond needed broken.

    Re-emerge as one once again.

   A single flick, a fallen stand ..

   life and death switch in strength

   Reality questions, death deciphers...

   This it the true timer in life....

   A broken tick and a fallen tide. ~'

The sound, resounded and repeated in exact rhythm and melody.
It was like a broken cord with an everlasting tone.

The song reeked of sadness, depression, pain, questions..
All others, it was truly a disheartening song.
And this made Lilith vexed.

Why do I know this?!.....

Lilith growled and screamed in terror.

Why do I feel so......so......sad?....

She groaned sharply and glared hard at the darkness of this abyss.
It was almost like it was watching her, from every corner, leaving no room to hide at all.
But Lilith didn't want to hide at all.
She wanted to meet this person, and it seemed, the person wanted to...

So when she heard whispers in her ears, she smiled.

"Take it all back Lilith.....
Take back what was ours.....
We deserve it.....we deserve it all. Take it back from them, from that person..."

.......

"Remember.......if you can't do it.....all you have to do is sleep and it will be okay..
Everything will be okay.... "

.......

"All it takes is a snap...."

......

Lilith took up her fingers to meet her eyes.
She eyed her soft delicate fingers and curled up her lips.
A snap you say?.
She snapped hard at her fingers and the abyss wobbled and shook greatly.
She heard a sharp sound, and felt pain all over her body.

Then, as if she was flying, she began to rise from her already floating stance, higher and higher, till a small creak opened up somewhere in the void.

She turned to the dark abyss, and saw a glimmer of two shade of topaz eyes shine at her.
She smiled.

Just like mine.

She took a step forward into the continuously increasing creak that was a door now.

__she's just like me.
I wonder.....

She passed through the bright door and opened up her eyes to feel herself sway.
Her eyes began to adjust at the dark object beneath her hands and she noticed it was the wagon's wooden board.

She looked up to see the hard  trampoline cover above her head and a dozing Vivian, who was bobbing her head up and down.
Trying in all futility, to hold up her wake.

Lilith chuckled amd went over to the coach's seat.
She took the reigns and rolled Vivian gently over the  floor board.
She took a thin blanket from her little luggage and pulled it over Vivian.
And then took the lead.

It seemed she would have to take their first watch night.
