Resting her chin on her small hand, Lilith looks through the foggy window of the bus. A sigh fell from her lips, seeing the tall trees and hills passing by the bus in a blur. The bright sun hid behind the thick dark clouds which threatened to pour all their water in all the vast green land of Scotland.
Lilith's grandmother had passed away a year ago, her only family at least the only one who loved and cared for her. Lilith's parents are divorced since she was five and being the youngest of the two siblings, she was always forgotten in the background. But whenever her grandma come to visit, it was a blessing. She would stay with Lilith up until late in the night, tell her old tales from her town.
Lilith's favorite was the tale of the Kelpie or water spirit as some people call them, the massive horse that lurks in the murky waters from swampy lakes in Scotland. Waiting for a child or a beautiful woman to come close to the water and drown them, eating their fresh flesh.
As Lilith grew up, she was accepted into the university of her dreams, Cambridge. To study ancient history. With that, Lilith had to move to England, leaving behind her grandma alone in her little cottage since no one in Lilith's family would go visit her.
After the death of her grandma, she left her belongings to Lilith and her siblings, dividing them by the three of them.
Martha, the oldest one of them, took some antique furniture and a part of her grandma's jewelry. John took her car and some old war stuff that was from their grandpa.
To Lilith, she left her cottage and land. She was on cloud nine since her grandma's house was always Lilith's safe place.
Lilith and she would spend hours on her small garden, collecting some herbs which she would make some delicious tea with it, and feeding the wild rabbits.
Lilith's siblings had mocked her immensely, saying that she had big trouble in her small hands since their grandma cottage was almost falling apart and her beautiful garden needed a good cleaning as it was almost wild like the woods beside the cottage from not being used since their grandma got sick.
Walking out of the bus, Lilith put her backpack on her back and walk down the stone road that leads to the cottage.
While she was walking on the old road, watching the yellow and orange leaves falling down slowly from the trees, indicating the presence of autumn. She notices an old man walking slowly towards her, wearing a forest green beret on his white-haired head. His face was full of wrinkles and a gentle smile was set on his thin lips.
"Lilith! God! You have grown into a lovely lady!" the old man said with a cheerful voice, bowing his head a little to Lilith.
Confused, she smiles nervously to the elder and wave.
"Ahh... Good afternoon, sir!" Lilith said politely to him, trying to figure out who this man was.
The old man chuckles and puts his cane in front of him, resting both of his wrinkle hands in the handle.
