Bound by Fate: Love And Desire

An Unexpected Visitor

I don't know what it's like to go to the mall. Or what it's like to see people smiling at me so happily. Which is exactly what I saw. Walking down the halls with Lilith people were smiling so happily to me, and nodding and whispering congrats. But... Congrats on what?

Lilith chuckled at me. "What's the matter? Never hear someone say congratulations?" she asked jokingly. "Well... No I haven't but why are they saying it?" I asked. "Because, Melissa, the entirety of the kingdom is so excited to see you for the first time. And not to mention due to your being the mate of my brother, means you marry him at some point too." she explained and I couldn't stop my face from turning some shades of crimson red. Lilith just laughed at me and shook her head.

"Here we are!" Lilith exclaimed making me look up. It was a dress boutique with dazzling dresses of various color. "Wow." I stated. "Let's go find your size and you get to choose. I take care of the rest." she said as she dragged me inside. Yay a girly girl shop... woohoo.

"You know... I've never been one for.. Dresses." I said in disgust as I was trying on a red dress with insane amounts of lace and crazy amounts of cleavage on me. I came out of the dressing room and as always, Lilith laughed. "Yea no, here try this one." she said as she handed me a teal or turquoise colored dress. I liked this one already.

After changing out of something wretched I pulled on the teal dressed that had minimal amounts of gems, which I liked. Strapless at the top, and a beautiful color. I stepped out and was rewarded with a look of approval. "Now that, I think, is the one dress for you." she said and I agreed. "So we found it?" she asked. "We found it." I stated as she got all excited. "Okay okay, go take it off, we'll get it, then we'll head home." she said as I nodded along with her plan. As I left to change I could hear the seamstress that owned the shop talking to Lilith.

"He's going to come and see her." she said hushed, thinking I couldn't hear. "So soon? I-I don't think she's possibly ready for... such a... surprise?" Lilith said quickly. "He doesn't care. He's going to the ball, and ironically you two chose the dress he wanted her to wear." the seamstress said softly as Lilith sighed. "Okay, away with you." she said as I heard heels clicking away quickly. Who were they talking about? He...? Could they be talking about... Tony? God I hope not.

I stepped out, back in my blue jeans and nice t-shirt top. "Ready?" Lilith said with a fake, cheerful smile. "Yea." I said putting on an excited look as Lilith took the dress up to the register and paid for it. The seamstress put it neatly in a bag and handing it to me as I stared her down. I knew my eyes flashed red because she began to cower back as Lilith started pulling me away. Who knew I could be scary.

Heading out to the parking lot I placed the dress safely on the seat of the back seat. Walking to the drivers side, Lilith started the car as I got onto my side. I took a look around and spotted something strange. A group of men, standing in black clothing, were watching us. As I got in the car, they got in theirs. "Lilith..." I trailed quietly. "Followers?" she asked sharply and all I could do was nod, as from the back of the parking lot you could hear the screeching of tires. "Let's move." she said as she put the car in gear and stepped on it. We flew from our parking space and took off out of the shopping malls lot. With the lot of men in sleek black cars behind us. "Lilith what the hell!!" I screamed as I held onto the bar above me. Which I'm now calling the 'oh shit' handle because I really wanted to shout "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" but I won't because I'd rather not distract the driver! "I'd say you already have haters miss Melissa." she said looking in the review as I looked at her speedometer. 90 on a freaking city street, with loony tunes behind us! Oh we're gonna crash.

"Melissa!!" Lilith screamed. "Huh?!" I shouted, startled. "Use your mind link to Abraxas! We need his help!" she screamed. {ABRAXAS!!!}

{What?!} he shouted back.
