"Suspicion and doubt lead to animosity and hatred"
- Ralph Steadman
Gabrielle
In two days I will be 21 years old. I never thought much about turning of legal age since I had already experienced alcohol and clubbing at age 15. But to my surprise, I am genuinely excited. My life had drastically changed for the better once Lily, a demon of sorts; took me in and made me her progeny. As strange as that may sound it is the absolute truth. She has shown me more kindness and mercy than any human I had ever encountered. She has also become the mother I never had. Through her I learned self discipline, self worth, and self love. She hired the best scholars from around the world to be my very own private tutors. Within two years I have already learned Economics, Philosophy, Theology, and Ancient History. All which Lily claimed will help me understand the minds of men. Especially those in high positions of politics and religion.
"To know the madness of a man is the key to bending him to your will" she said.. I didn't fully understand what she meant by that, but now it is becoming more clear to me. The more power hungry the man, the more weaknesses he has. A woman simply has to know how to pin point said weaknesses and utilize it to her advantage. The most common weakness being pussy. Of course it is... It always is.
But being great in bed alone will not get the job done. It takes a woman with skill, knowledge, wisdom, dignity, and class to take down a high-ranking male. A woman who truly knows herself. The true knowing of the power she wields. If not, she'll end up used and without control over her own body. Much like I was taught to be by my biological mother. A hooker... Bought and sold at the directions of a pimp.
I've enjoyed my freedom from turning tricks on the street. From hooking period. In just two years I had gotten the full experience of life as a teenaged girl. I could leave the house and enjoy a movie or hang out at the mall and go shopping. Laugh and act silly amongst friends, even if they were faking the friendship. Lily practically left them no choice. Sierra being the worst actress of them all. Farooq also takes me out on actual dates and makes sure that I am back home at an appropriate time. He is always the perfect gentleman, something I am not accustomed to. He literally gives me butterflies... This experience I will never forget.
However, no sex and having a curfew proves insufferable. Lily insists that I abstain from sexual activity for a while, so that I may heal and cleanse my womb and take back control of my sexuality. The constant schooling has also been a pain. I haven't been in school since the 9th grade. There are no such things as summer, winter, or spring breaks in the School of Lilith; but at least I don't have to sit in a classroom. Lily feels that an institution will not teach me all that I need to know. Only scratch the surface. I have also learned during my stay here fluent English, Spanish, and French. I am not to use slang terms in either language especially English. I was told that I am to learn Greek and Latin as well. Those two languages are going to be tough... Not looking forward to those studies at all.
What I am most excited about learning is Alchemy and Witchcraft. Those of which will be taught to me by Lily herself. She promised me I will begin my studies soon. I hope so. I strive to be as evolved as she says I can be. I want nothing more than to be a good daughter and make her proud. It is the least I can do for all that she has given me...

I can't believe this shit. Gabrielle is once again placed on a pedestal like she's better than the rest of us. LaToya makes me sick too. Her creepy Vampire trick fell head over heels for her weak ass and swept her off her feet into a fucked up happily ever after. I hope the mother fucker gets hungry. Goes overboard and kills the bitch. It's not fair that she ain't stuck here being a slave to Gabrielle and I am.
The money is good tho. So far we've been paid top dollar to entertain Elves and Weres. Lily was right about Weres. They're way different from Lycans. Much gentler and more civilized. Her guests would also bring her men to satisfy her needs as well. She would take them upstairs to her room, but they would never be seen again. Eric told us that she eats them. I don't doubt it... That bitch is scary as fuck. Except for when she's with Gabrielle though. That's when she becomes all wholesome and motherly all of a sudden. I just don't get it. What the fuck is so special about Gabrielle? Why is she getting the royal treatment and not us?
There's gotta be a way out of this shit. Lily tells us all the time that we can leave if we want to, but what's the use in doing so if we could end up being hunted by monsters. I can't lie and say that I ain't living good tho. I do like living in a mansion, getting paid thousands to turn tricks; instead of a measly few hundred that I barely saw a dime of. All of our money went to Tito, and he spent our money for us. I appreciate the privilege of having control over my own money, made by my pussy. I didn't realize until now that having a pimp is the most ridiculous thing a woman could do to herself. I will never go down that road again, and apparently Tito will never pimp again. Eric filled me in on what happened to him. Some kind of creature Lily keeps in the basement fucked him to death. I thought he was bullshittin at first, but then again in this house... Anything's possible.
I just can't do this whole servitude shit. Eric and the rest of the help is tired of Gabrielle too. I can tell they're half assed jealous of the rest of us as well. Eric is always telling me that I need to stop whining. At least we have the privilege of sleeping upstairs and not some servant's quarters off from the kitchen. They get on my nerves, but they're allies against Gabrielle. They hate that bitch just as much as I do.
Lily is what stands in our way of hurting the bitch. If only we can just figure out a way to end her ass without it falling back on us. There has to be a way, and I plan on figuring it out very soon. I've brought Gabrielle down before... And I'll do it again...
