Death Lilly

Chapter 28

My ex-boyfriend had kidnapped me and the love of my life had disappeared. There had been a battle. I had shot my former best friend before Jude and I were forced into retreat. I had thought we were a lost cause.

If only you could have seen all them demons, entering through the door all in beast form. It's hard to describe what they look like, but they have a human face but with huge goat horns and overly long arms and fingernails. Their legs were more like the back of a mule just no tail or anything. The skin a rusty red earth color that looked leathery, while the legs were brown and kind of furry. As I said it's hard to describe them and undoubtedly I'm doing a poor job.

Jude had given me a gun and told me to run, so I had. He was meant to be right behind me, he promised. He never made it out of the house. I almost hadn't made it; I was only minutes from becoming some kind of demon baby maker when this guy had shown up from nowhere.

A big red motorbike, roaring down the road like some crazy Evil Knievel. The guy pulled out a sub-machine gun, firing upon the group of beasts. It was one of the coolest things I had ever seen and considering what I have seen...well, let just say it was cool. He told me to jump on the back and I did, sometimes you have to take a gamble with your life and jumping on the back of that bike had been my gamble.

I still didn't know who that guy was. I was still waiting for him to come and talk to me but instead he shoved a key into my hand, pointed to the door before he left. Now I am stuck here, in this room, thinking about everything. Wondering what I could have done differently, wondering who or what I really was.

Ok, so the 'who' would seem easy...right, I was Lille Vale a poor girl brought up by her righteous grandmamma and who had a good understanding of herself, right? Well, right now I felt nothing like that girl, nothing at all. Sure I looked kind of the same but underneath all of this exterior stuff, well, who was I?

A girl who had seen evil? Who had almost chosen it over good? A girl that was now stuck in some cheap and crappy motel room, who was feeling completely and utterly lost. So, again, who was I?

As for the what, well that was easier, I was not human, apparently. I was somehow born from some kind of experiment. Who would have thought a demon and an angel would want to get it on? Well nine months later and here was the result, a bouncing baby girl who could one day bring about the destruction of them all. Bet they had wished they had used protection.

I remember the days where I had wished to be something special, something that others would respect and famous, now that it was kind of here I just wished for the days when I was ignorant. Back to the day were my biggest concern was what to wear. Coming to Devil's Canyon had seemed like such a great idea, to start afresh. I had needed a new beginning back then, but maybe, it was just one of the worst choices I had ever made. Death seemed to follow me and those I cared for. Just, maybe, I truly was Death Lilly.

I was ready to embrace my dark side, Cayn had been right, for once I sorted out what was going on here, I was going to make sure that Cayn was truly dead! And I had no doubt that I would enjoy every second of it.
