City of Lies

Chapter 12 - Lilith's Touch

(A/N: this picture is how I imagined Bree to look like!)
-------------------------------------------------------

I'm in a forest, a dark, scary forest. The trees are slanted with hanging spiky vines, the grass is mostly mud and there's flies and dead animals all around. It stinks like a pig pen.

"Arthur?" I whip around to the voice behind me. My heart freezes, it's Lilith. Although no one alive has seen her we all know she has blazing curly red hair, white skin, and black eyes. "Are you here?"

A man, maybe about twenty, appears behind her. He's tall and thin with golden cat eyes and slick black hair. I don't recognize him at all. "Yes Lilith?"

She runs and jumps into his arms. He doesn't hug back and she pulls away when she notices. "You don't look happy to see me," she frowns and pouts.

"If you haven't noticed all of Valencia might die in this war," Arthur says. "And you're standing here wanting to make love with me?"

Lilith crosses her arms. "What are you saying?"

Arthur rolls his eyes and laughs. "What am I saying? I'm saying that you need to stop this war. You're probably the only one powerful enough to stop the demons from coming. To stop the madness between the four lands."

"And what if I don't want too?"

"Then we are done. I don't want anything to do with an evil, selfish, little girl."

"Little girl! Okay Arthur, we're done," she acts mad but I can see the tears forming in her eyes.

Arthur snaps his fingers and he disappears from this nasty forest. Lilith sinks to her knees and starts screaming. I just watch her. She looks up and tears are streaming down her face.

"How are you here?" She looks up at me.

I look behind me not entirely sure if she's talking to me. No one has ever been able to see me in one of my visions, but then again, no one is as powerful as her. I point to myself and ask "me?"

She stands up and dashes toward me. She grabs my wrist and says "Bree Ritcher." Fire emerges in her black eyes and she smirks.

I jump back and scream. My wrist burns where she touched me.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

I jump up in my bed and scream. I look at my right wrist where Lilith touched it in my vision, it's blazing red.

"Oh my God Bree are you insane?" Lacey asks cranky. "It's three in the morning who screams."

I breathe rapidly not talking. I'm speechless. Lilith touched me. I actually met Lilith.

"Are you okay?" Chase asks.

I still don't answer. Lacey and Chase look at each other before they both come to my side.

"Okay, I'm guessing you had more than just a bad dream?" Lacey says tapping my shoulder.

"I met Lilith," I whisper fast between breathes.

Lacey looks more confused than ever. Instead Chase speaks. "Did you just say you met Lilith? Lilith as in the Mother of all Demons?"

I nod. My breathing is slowly coming back to normal. "Look at my wrist," I hold up my wrist for both of them to see. Both they're eyes widen.

"Okay, how exactly is that possible?" Lacey asks still starring at my wrist? The red mark is slowly fading.

I shake my head. "I don't even know. I just saw her in one of my visions and-"
