ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WERE TWO WITCHES. ALICE AND LILITH. ALICE SPENT HER TIME PRACTICING LIGHT MAGIC AND CONVERSING WITH THE ANGEL MICHAEL, WHILE LILITH SPEND HER TIME WITH THE DARK ARTS AND PRACTICED NECROMANCY TO RESURRECT LUCIFER, THE FALLEN ANGEL. LILITH TOLD ALICE OF ALL THE MAGIC SHE HAD LEARNED FROM THE WHISPERS OF HELL. ALICE WARNED HER LOVER NOT TO STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE PATH OF LIGHT.
THEIR JOB WAS TO GET EARTH READY FOR THE ARRIVAL OF HUMAN LIFE. A WEAKER SPECIES BUT NONETHELESS BEAUTIFUL. LILITH COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WERE GIVEN THAT JOBS. THERE WERE MANY OTHER WITCH SHOULD THAT COULD'VE BEEN SENT DOWN TO PREPARE THE EARTH. ALICE CREATED ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT LILITH COULDN'T. SHE GREW THE GRASS THE FLOWERS AND THE SUN. ALL LILITH COULD DO WAS CREATE DARK; THE MOON THE CAVES AND THE DEPTHS OF THE SEAS. LILITH CRAVED LIGHT AND BEAUTY, BUT THAT WAS NOT IN HER NATURE. SHE WAS MEANT FOR THE NIGHT. THEY LOVED EACH OTHER. THAT'S HOW ITS ALWAYS BEEN. BUT LILITH FELT LOST AND DIFFERENT. THAT ALICE DESERVED BETTER. MORE. SO, WHEN SHE WANTED MORE POWER, TO GIVE ALICE MORE THAN HERSELF, SHE LISTED TO THE WHISPERS IN THE DARK.
THE WHISPERS OF THE LOST AND FORGOTTEN SOULS. "RESURRECT HIM," THEY SAID. "ONLY HE CAN GIVE YOU MORE POWER. THE POWER YOUR LOVER DESERVES." AND SHE LISTENED. THEY GAVE LILITH THE STRENGTH AND THE SPELL TO RESURRECT LUCIFER. AND SO, ON THE FULLEST OF MOONS AND THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS SHE PREPARED THE RITUAL AND RECITED THE INCANTATION. SHE WOULD LOAN HIM HER PHYSICAL FORM BUT ONLY TO BE TRAPPED IN THE MIND AND BE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE BODY.
"WHO SUMMONS ME TO LIVE AGAIN!" HE ROARED.
"I WANT MORE POWER. IN EXCHANGE I WILL LEND MY BODY UNTIL THE HUMANS COME." LILITH REPLIED.
LUCIFER SNEERED AT HER, "YOU THINK I WOULD GIVE YOU MY POWER? IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR BODY? YOUR WEAK AND THE FACT THAT YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO ASK THAT QUESTION MAKES YOU STUPID TOO. YOU WANT MY POWER?" HE SNEERED, "THEN HAVE AT IT."
MOMENTS LATER LILITH WOKE UP. SHE COULDN'T MOVE HER BODY, "DON'T EVEN TRY GIRL. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGHT ME. SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE SHOW." SHE WAS TRAPPED IN HER OWN MIND! SHE COULD SEE EVERYWHERE LUCIFER WENT BUT HAD NO CONTROL. IT WAS WHEN ALICE CAME INTO FULL VIEW THAT SHE STARTED TO PANIC.
"OH! YOUR LOVER I ASSUME? PRETTY LITTLE THING ISN'T SHE? SHE'S STRONG. POWERFUL. YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO HER WHEN SHE TOLD YOU TO STAY ON THE PATH OF LIGHT. SUCH A SHAME I'LL HAVE TO KILL HER."
LILITH SCREAMED AND CRIED AND PLEADED. SHE SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO ALICE! SHE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED! THAT NIGHT LUCIFER PLEASURED HER UNTIL SHE HAD ENOUGH. HE TAUNTED LILITH ABOUT ALICE BEING HIS PET IN HELL. HOW HE'D BE THE ONE TO USE HER WHEN HE WISHED, AND WHEN HE WAS DONE, HE'D TOSS HER TO THE LOWER RANKING DEMONS. LILITH SCREAMED AND KICKED AND CRIED AND BEGGED.
"WA-.. WA-.. UP.. WAKE UP!" ALICE SHOOK HER FROM HER DREAMS, "MY LOVE! ARE YOU OKAY? YOU WERE HAVING A NIGHTMARE!" LILITH BAWLED HER EYES OUT, "I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I PROMISE TO FOLLOW YOU ON THE PATH OF LIGHT, MY LOVE. I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU!" ALICE TURNED LILITH'S HEAD TO FACE HER, AND IN A DEMONIC VOICE SHE SAID, "LEAVE ME? YOU'LL NEVER BE RID OF ME." AND WITH A SINISTER SMILE SHE BIT INTO LILITH.
LILITH WOKE UP TO THE BLINDING SUN. SHE FELL ASLEEP OUTSIDE WHILE HER LOVER PICKED STRAWBERRIES. SHE WALKED UP TO ALICE AND GAVE HER HUGS AND KISSES. THROUGHOUT THE DAY THEY LAUGHED AND PLAYED, BUT DURING THE NIGHT, LUCIFER CAME OUT TO PLAY. AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES.
