Shadows [on hold]

Chapter 5

~pic of 16 year old Lilith~

~Lilith's POV~

"Mary~ you can run but you can't hide!" I yelled slowly walking through a small, dark hallway. I walked into a little kids room with a cradle. Looking around I could see clothes thrown all around. It's as if they were thrown to make space in a closet. I smiled evilly and walked toward the closet. I heard light breathing coming from the closest.

"I found you~!" I yelled as I slammed the closest door open.

"AHHH!" Mary screamed. I reached toward her and picked her up.

"I can't believe you found me again!" Mary pouted. I put her down and rubbed her head messing up her short light brown hair. She looked up at me with her green eyes.

"I think it's time for bed" I said picking her back up and placing her in her cradle.

"I'm not a little kid! I don't need to sleep in a cradle anymore!" Mary yelled.

"Mary I know, you are already 6 and old enough to have a bed. But you have to understand we don't have the money for that" I said calmly.

"If mom were here we would have money" she said making a pouty face.

*SLAP*

I slapped Mary leaving her shocked.

"Mary, you know we don't talk about mom. Good night" I said turning off the lights and shutting the door as Mary started to cry. I leaned against the door and sighed.

'She...'

I started to walk down the dark hallway.

She can't ever...'

The darkness of the hallway made me feel safe.

She can't ever find out...'

I walked into my room and looked my door.

'She can't ever find out about mother...'

I walked over to a picture of my mother and father. I picked up the photo.

'She will never know the truth...'

I threw the photo at the wall and climbed into bed.

'Because if she did...she would have to DIE!'

I drifted off into a deep slumber.

~Time Skip~

I woke up and got dressed. I walked to the park and saw a boy staring at a red rose.

"Why are you staring at that rose?" I asked walking up to him.

"I was just thinking that roses are like humans" he replied still looking at the rose.

"And how are roses like humans?"

"They have different types of roses, like how humans have different races, and they have secrets. Even the prettiest rose has secrets" he said looking at me.

"Would you like to play with me...um..."

"It's Jake, and unfortunately I must return home. Maybe we'll see each other again someday..."

"My names Lilith"

"...Lilith" he said. He then turned around and left. I stared in the direction he left. After a couple of minutes I left and walked home. On the way home I saw smoke coming from the direction of my house. I ran toward the smoke and saw my house was on fire. I looked around for my sister and saw foot prints in the grass leading toward an alleyway. I slowly walked toward the alleyway then stopped and covered my mouth in horror. The alley was covered in blonde and there was a little girls mutilated body laying on the ground. I knew by the light brown hair that it was Mary. I called 911 and sat on the grass by my burning house crying.

'But who's at fault?...'

I realized that dad wasn't here. He knew I was going to the park and I told him to stay and watch Mary.

'It's his fault...'

I called my dad and told him what happened, leaving out the fact that Mary was dead.

'Wouldn't Mary want him dead...'

As my dad arrived home I motioned him over to me. He came over asking questions. I answered none of the and just told him to follow me. He did and followed me into the alley. I moved out of the way for him to see dead Mary.

"You broke your promise father" I said as I walked up behind him.

"You said you'd protect Mary and in return I wouldn't kill you" I said as I lifted up a knife I had found next to Mary.

"But now, it doesn't matter" I said as I stabbed him in the back. His life less body fell forward leaving me to smile at my work. I walked away from the two body's and walked down the street.

"Lilith what have you done!" I heard Mary's voice yell.

"What do you mean? I avenged you!" I yelled stopping and looking up.

"You killed both daddy and mommy"

"It was daddy's fault you died and mummy's fault you were born!"

"Why do you hate mommy because I was born?"

"You weren't daddy's kid you were another mans kid the man you call daddy is a lier! He never loved me or mommy! So I put mommy out of her suffering!"

"You will pay Lilith! You ruined my life! I will see to it that you suffer!"

I felt dizzy and the next thing I knew I was out cold.
