Embracing the dark

Prologue

Fifteen years ago
Lilith
"Granny, please", I held her wrinkled hand it felt so warm, I moved closer to her tugging her sweater moving my small fingers through its holes. "Please, just one story" I pleaded again. She turned and looked at me lovingly and smiled and I smiled back upon my small victory. She took me in her arms and laid me on the bed.

"Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess with her old granny in a castle on a mountain, they were surrounded by flowers and big green tress and bushes but one day an army of monsters came to ruin their castle and take princess with them-", I interrupted her in between excitedly "and then a prince came to fight the monsters and help the princess and her granny", I waved my hands happily, "No honey, it was the princess who fought the monsters bravely to help herself and her granny.", she brushed my hair lovingly. I was not satisfied with the ending, "But granny it is always the prince who saves the princess your story is wrong", I looked at her expectedly hoping she would correct the error she made in the story. "No dear, in my story it is the princess who fought the monster, remember no one can save you, if you cannot save yourself, you have to fight your own battles and I know my Lilith will win every battle she fights", she kissed my forehead and told me to sleep.

My eyes felt heavy and I was beginning to go into a deep slumber but than only my sleep was interrupted by a loud screeching voice, "Why are the dishes not washed and food not made? where is that little ungrateful bitch and that old woman, come here right now", the voice shouted I quickly hid under my bed. I heard the sound of glass shattering and things being thrown and heard my granny crying, I cautiously made my way from under my bed to the dining room. Mom was holding granny by neck and cursing her, granny was sobbing.

"Where is Lilith?", she pushed her away and her eyes meet me she coldly smiled at me I shivered and my feet froze at she made her way towards me. Granny quickly recovered herself from the ground and moved in front of me in order to protect me. "Please, it is my fault, leave her, she is just a child", she begged. "Fuck off bitch, I am tired of you, tired of wasting my money on both of you", mom shouted again I held granny sacred of what mom was going to do next.

"You know what I am going to end you today, you fucking old bitch, Lilith is my daughter I can do whatever I want to do with her but you always come in between", she made the way to the kitchen and in the meanwhile granny pushed me inside my room and shut the door. "No Beth, no", I heard granny whisper, "You need money from me Beth, no don't do it", she whispered again.

"Not anymore Bitch", I peeped through the door and saw in horror as mom stabbed granny with the butcher's knife and a painful scream emerged from her mouth, she fell down from the impact, her breath was gone as I felt her eyes closing but mom kept stabbing her again and again with a cruel smile still spread on her lips. "Granny no", I pushed open the door . "Granny no", I trembled and cried "please no", I tried to push mom away but she got hold of my hair and hit my head against the wall and I felt everything go black as I crumbled down to the floor.
