WAIT-
HOLD THE FUCKING HORSES-
My face practically lit on fire.
"Lily? Lily come on, talk to me!"
I whipped my head around to see Neo looking at me concerned.
"You okay?"
I blinked. "Um..."
Fuck, those eyes.
Damn it.
I shrugged trying to hide behind my hair. "O-oh y-yeah I'm fine."
He reached out a hand and touched my shoulder. "What were you thinking about?"
I flushed, standing up. "Oh um, nothing,..... I just remembered that I have.... to GO! BYE!"
I spun on my heel and started walking.
Neo grabbed my hand, pulling me back to him. "Lily...did I do something?"
I laughed nervously trying to get my hand back. "N-no, why?"
He frowned down at me. "Lily..."
I hated to see his beautiful face twisted like that.
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!
Sighing, I prepared myself for what I was about to do. "Neo... I... well-um-"
My brain filled with explanations, answers, words, sounds, but nothing would come out, so I did the only thing left.
I grabbed Neo by the collar and dragged him down to my eye level. "Oh god, I am stupid." I muttered to myself before kissing him.
Letting him go, I looked at his eyes.
His eyes... were huge.
"Oh fuck..." I muttered.
His eyes held horror.
Shit.
I shoved him away.
"SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY-" I cut myself off and stared at him.
Neo stared back at me, not saying anything.
I cringed and started backing up.
This was why I wasn't in any relationships! I was horrible at these things! I always messed up!
"Look Neo I'm sorry, I hope- hope you-" I just stopped and started running.
"Lily! Wait- no! I didn't-"
I ran straight past the stairs and jumped off the roof.
So there I fell, dying of embarrassment and probably the pavement in the next thirty seconds.
I sighed.
Why had I ruined our relationship like that?
Why had I done that?!
WHY!?
I suddenly saw the urgency of my situation.
Oh yes, I was about to go kasplat.
SHIT
Shit
shit
Suddenly I remembered something.
My connection with Dad.
I had a magical connection with him, that if I really Really REALLY needed it, a portal that led to his location would magically open.
Yeah, this seemed like a pretty good time.
I curled up in a ball, and hoped his shadow heard my silent pleas for help.
Why had I jumped off the roof again?
Oh right, Neo.
A portal opened right beneath me and I fell through it.
It went from hot hell, to a cool air conditioned room.
I couldn't see a thing because my hair was in my face, but I soon landed in someone's arms bridal style.
I spit my hair out of my mouth and brushed it out of my eyes to find Dad staring down at me.
I laughed nervously. "Hey!....Um yeah hi."
Upon closer inspection, Mom and all the other Overlords were in the room.
I had just fallen into a private meeting with the Overlords of hell.
Yay.....
Camilla's face was twisted in annoyance. "Alastor? What is the meaning of this?"
Dad let out an exhausted sigh and smiled to the other demons in the room. "If you'll kindly excuse me, I have matters to attend to, Rosie will take my place." He swiftly walked out of the room, me in his arms.
The doors closed and his smile fell. "LILY... I love you more than anything, you know that, but what the hell?"
Sighing, I climbed out of his arms, setting my feet on the floor. "Well.... I needed to get out of there quickly... and it was the only thing I could think of." I looked at the floor. "Sorry."
Dad grabbed me by the shoulders. "Get out of where?"
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit.
I laughed. "Uh, you won't... kill me, right?"
Dad crossed his arms. "Lilian."
I banged my head against the wall. "IT WAS A ROMANTIC SITUATION I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I FUCKED UP REALLY BAD."
I spun around and looked out the window, tugging nervously at my ears. "I didn't know what to do, and I messed it all up, like, really really messed it up, ruined our relationship probably forever and then I panicked and jumped off the roof."
I gulped. "But I you probably wouldn't understand that so I'll just shut up and leave."
Dad laughed and spun me around by the antlers that I had just grown from angst. "Little fawn, you have no clue, how much I understand your situation."
I blinked. "Really?"
He nodded. "Really."
Dad sat down on a bench. "It was torture admitting my feelings for your Mother, but once I did, I never regretted it after." He took a breath and motioned for me to sit next to him. "BUT, I do want to know who this person is, and if I need to go gut them."
I sat down and tears came to my eyes as how much he cared. "No, you don't need to kill anyone." I told him.
He sighed. "Well, that is a shame, but! I do want you to know," he grabbed my chin. "Please, PLEASE, do not interrupt my meetings, those folks are not a very forgiving bunch, the best shot you got is Zestial, and... you never know what's going on in his mind so not even really him."
He laughed. "And while I would murder each and every one of them if they tried anything, I do not want to rule the pride ring by myself."
I nodded.
"Lily?"
"Yes?"
"Who is it?"
I groaned as Dad bopped each of my ears. "My dear, at least tell me what district they're from."
wincing, I said, "The...V's district...?"
Dad scowled. "No..."
I shrugged. "Maybe?"
He ran a hand down his face and growled. "I should have guessed that... okay."
Dad stood up. "I have to get back to my meeting, why... don't you..." He spun his hands in a circle and a black rimmed portal opened, the hotel doors on the other side. "Why don't you go find Charlie and tell her that I sent you and I'll pick you up after this, okay?"
I folded my arms and sighed. "Okay."
Dad smiled and grabbed my chin, kissing both of my cheeks before letting me go and walking back to the door. "Well, I will see you after work, have a good day darling!"
I wrapped an arm around myself before waving. "Okay, see you then!"
He went through the door, leaving me alone.
Well... Hotel here I come.
I opened the door lazily and let it's heavy oak mass slam behind me.
Husk glanced up at me. "Oh hey kid, what are you doing here?"
I shrugged and sat down at the bar. "Oh, nothing much, hey do you happen to know where Auntie Charlie is?"
My uncle hooked a thumb to the stairs.
I thanked him and stood, walking up the hotel's grand stair way.
"My my my! Is that Lily? Finally on her feet again?"
I stopped and took a deep breath, asking the good lord to give me patient. "Evan... what a surprise."
He laughed and walked out of the shadow by the wall, and laid an arm over my shoulder. "Sup loser."
I ground my teeth. "Do you really want to do that? My Dad's not here to save your fucking ass this time."
Evan didn't even flinch. "Hey, who needs him? I'm the fucking prince! I don't need no lousy overlord to prote-" I punched him square in the jaw.
Evan stumbled back, and felt his face as shiny red blood started dripping from the corner of his mouth. "Oh... so it's dirty today?"
I glared at him. "Why? Why do you feel the need to torment me EVERY DAY!?" I shook my head. "I wouldn't beat the shit out of you if you just let me be!"
Evan took a threatening step towards me. "Why? Because you are perfect! You are vulnerable! you get in trouble when you do fight back, and because I have always been jealous of how much you are loved! I am the prince of Hell and some lowlife daughter of some random Overlord gets more love and attention than I do? Why is that? That's not fair at all!"
He backed me into the wall.
I flattened my ears. "Evan, listen-"
Evan ignored me and grabbed my shoulders. "What's so special about you?!"
His eyes went red.
Fuck.
"Evan, Evan listen to me, don't-"
The prince shoved me up against the wall, my feet no longer touching the floor.
I was seriously getting scared, he never had acted like this before, what was going on now?
When I looked at him, I no longer saw a snobby brat, I saw the grandson of the devil.
And he was not looking at me fondly.
Black horns showed through his hair, as his hands slowly crept to my throat.
"EVAN-EVAN STOP-" I screamed.
All he did was laugh.
I tried to kick, to do anything really, but to no use.
Evan's small black pupils found my eyes and he sneered. "What's the matter Lilian? Can't breath?"
I could not in fact, breath anymore.
He only had to use one hand to strangle me.
The other one lay at his side, doing nothing.
A tear slipped down my cheek.
It was a tear that wasn't meant to fall, but did. A tear that held my compleat disbelieve and horror of the moment.
Out of all the people I could have died at the hands of, I had never expected it to be him.
The corners of my vision started fuzzing and turning black.
I stopped kicking, that took too much energy.
"EVAN!?!"
I felt myself be dropped to the ground.
Fresh air.
Beautiful fresh air.
I sucked it in as my vision slowly returned.
Vaggie stood over Evan, who had been reduced to his normal snobby state.
"PLEASE TELL ME THAT WAS NOT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE!" She yelled, pointing at me.
Charlie soon ran down the hall. "Vaggie, what's the- HOLY SHIT!"
She ran to my side and set my head in her lap. "Ohhhh fuck, Lily? Lily talk to me!"
I rolled on my side and coughed. "I-I'm h-here..."
Charlie sighed in relief and hugged me to her chest. " OH thank god!"
I peaked over her shoulder to see Vaggie looking at Evan with sorrow and distrust.
"Why?" she asked, tears filling her eyes. "I thought I knew you, I knew you needed help, but this? You almost killed the RADIO DEMONS daughter and if you had?! Do you how helpless I would be to save you from the torture!? Listen to me when I say that Alastor Altruist is not a forgiving person! If you had killed Lily!? I would die and so would you! Probably gutted alive! But you don't understand that! Because you never pay attention to anything anyone says!"
She wiped tears off her face. "Go to your room! Do not come out for a week! I will bring you things you need!"
Evan shrank. "Mom-"
"GO!"
The prince disappeared down the hall.
I sat in my aunts arms, shaking.
Aunt Vaggie fell to her knees next to me, and started stroking my ears. "Shhhh it's okay, you'll be okay."
I blinked and continued to shake, comprehending that I had almost just died.
I grabbed both Charlie and Vaggie's hands. "Thank you," I said, my voice barely audible. "Thank you so much."
The reality of the situation finally crashed upon me, I started crying.I buried my face in Charlie's side. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you."
Vaggie hugged both Charlie and I, and we just sat on the floor, taking in what the fuck, had just happened.
