Minutes later Lilith's alarm went off. She groaned rubbing her head and moved from the warmth of her sheets. Her room was her favorite place to be when she wasn't hiding out at her friends place. The walls were painted black, a vanity pressed up to the wall next to her closet. She sighed running her fingers through her short spiky black hair.
When she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror she looked ghostly pale which made her deep brown eyes look like black holes into the abyss. She was on the thinner side but sometimes she seemed too skinny in her mind. When she saw photos of herself she could see herself being casted as a spindly demon in a horror movie.
Lilith pulled open the doors of her closest quickly pushing past the dreses all oozing with bright neon colors. Some of them were gifts others picked out by her parents in hopes of seeing her in something other than what she usually wore. Such as today, the teen wore what she would any other day. A pair of faded blue jeans, a black tanktop, and a red hoodie she rarely zipped up. At her side she had clipped her gas-mask to a belt-loop and a pair of thick latex gloves were tucked away in her back pocket. Lilith looked at herself in the mirror picking up a few bobby pins. The thin metal pins tucked back her bangs keeping them from covering her eyes.
Movement downstairs caused her to sigh again and looked towards her window. Fog blanketing the world outside. Just another day, another moment of her life.
"Lilith." Someone whispered and she turned to see a man standing in the corner of her room.
"Sorry, but do I know you?" The female shifted her weight to one side placing a hand on her hip taking in the male's features. He seemed so familiar yet couldn't place the name.
He had golden blonde hair what was slightly shorter than her own that seemed to be slicked back, and his eyes were a pale blue reminding her of the color of the walls her room was when she was ten. The man's skin was lightly sun kissed which only confused her deeper as the sun never shown here. Never in her life could she recall seeing nor feeling the sun's light.
He laughed softly "I forgot you don't remember me but I guess then again I haven't forgotten anything." Lilith's expression hardened as she tried to twist the words into some meaning that made more sense to her.
Everything slowed as the words shifted into combination that seemed to jumble into an unbreakable code. Still her eyes locked with the deep blue pools of his hues. Something about him seems 'comforting' if that were the term she choose.
Reaching out he steeps back. A cocky smile came to his lips "Sorry darling no touching, at least not yet." He stated with a hint of a laugh to his voice.
Lilith furrowed her brow from confusion and annoyance. "So Mr.Stalker-"
"I'm not a stalker" he interrupted rather quickly.
"Well last I checked normal people didn't hang out in the corners of teenage girl's bedrooms."
He shook his head a bit. "Look I wasn't watching ya get dressed darling."
"Stop that!" Lilith growled.
"Stop what?"
"Calling me darling, I hate that."
He laughed a bit "Sorry I didn't mean to upset you Dar-" the male cleared his throat "Lilith"
"Okay now that's just creepy."
"What?" He asked raising a brow.
"What's your name anyways?"
"Can't tell you."
A growl came from deep within her throat sounding almost animalistic. "Get out." Lilith huffed throwing a pillow at the stranger's face. He chuckled in response.
Lilith furrowed her brow a bit causing wrinkles to form upon her forehead. Something about the way her face scrunched made a smile come to his face. A sound bubbled from within his throat like a deep rumble but he suppressed it before it could rip free.
"Well I'll be seeing you around Darling."
"Don't call me that!" She screeched throwing a pillow towards him, however the strange blond had faded into the nothingness that held the world around her.
