CHAPTER THIRTY
LILITH-ROSE MAE

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

according to greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. however, fearing their power, zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves. well, lilith-rose steward found her other half at only twelve years of age. if only their story was written as a romance. since the disappearance of john booker routledge and sarah cameron, a lot of things had changed in the outer banks.

the group that was once made up of six pogues was now down to four. and those four stood tall, facing the tall tree out the back of the château. the wind blew lilith's blonde hair, causing the girl to shiver slightly. but she remained composed, watching the heyward boy continue to slam the axe into the tree with a loud grunt.

lilith moved her hand, gently intertwining her fingers with the girl next to her. her lips parted slightly. jj took the blowtorch to his tool, allowing the end of the metal to heat up to a perfect temperature. once he was finished, his hand reached forwards, burning into the smooth wood in the tree. once finished with his writing, the blonde boy admired his work one last time before making his way to stand next to the steward. lilith stood back, shooting jj a forced smile once he stood directly beside her.

lilith's eyes scanned the writing before her, it was in a heart shape in the tree. she felt a tear threaten to fall from her eye, her eyes adoring the writing now permanently burnt into the wood.

jj extended his hand, holding out a flask of alcohol to the tree. lilith paid no attention to the action, her eyes were trained on the writing. trained on the thought of her best friend. he was truly gone. "to john b." jj stated, his voice was deep as he spoke. clearly he was trying to remain strong. he had ever since the passing of his best friend. he was putting up a facade.

lilith inhaled a deep breath, placing her hands into her denim pockets. "and sarah." kiara spoke weakly, she lifted her head to gaze between jj and lilith. her eyes were becoming glossy. then her head adjusted to face pope whom looked down at her with a small frown upon his lips.

"to raven." lilith added, only above a whisper. her head gently tilted to lean on the blonde boys shoulder. jj moved his head, resting his on top of her own. jj shot back the liquids of the flask, and when he lowered it. he handed it over to lilith. the young steward didn't hesitate to take the alcohol from the boy and quickly finish the remaining liquids.

lilith lifted a small box from the floor, a box containing small, personal items of their best friends. lilith couldn't help but stop for a moment, her eyes scanning the box of items. her eyes landed upon a bracelet in the box, raven's bracelet. lilith sucked her bottom lip before slowly lowering to the ground, sitting on her knees. kiara didn't waste any time in following her friends actions, sitting down alongside her with a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
