  " Hey."

  I jumped as Atticus's silhouette appeared from the doorway of my bedroom.  " Can you knock?" I asked grumpily.  I mean, jeez, I've killed human's that have a better sense to knock than him.

Atticus smiled. " Sorry your Highness.  What will you do to me for my cruel crime?"

" I'll have you boiled and serve you to the dogs," was the reply from my mouth.

  He laughed and moved closer, peering into my eyes.  I tried shutting them but couldn't find the will to. Finally, he cupped his my face into his hands.\

" Stop it. "

" Stop what Atticus?"

" Stop worrying about tomorrow.  Stop worrying that no one will love you cos you're a villain. Just calm down. "

I pressed my face into his chest. " I can't.  Everywhere I walk, everyone hates me.  No matter how fast I run, someone is always watching me."

" Then set them on fire. "

" Haha. Very funny.  But I can't bring myself to do that."

" But you're evil."

" Even evil has a heart. "

" Now THAT I know. "  He kissed my head. " It'll get better, I promise. "

" Thank you Atticus."

" Now go to bed. "

I whined like a 5 yr. old. " But I don't wanna."

" Yes."

" No."

" Yes."

" No."

" Even masters need there sleep. "

" Even future husbands know when to shut there mouth. "

" Okay, you got me-"

* KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK *

" HELP!!!!!" screeched a voice.

 I looked at Atticus in worry. " What is that?"

He shook his head. " I don't know.  But lets go find out. " He grabbed my hand. " Come on Lillith. "
