Rejuvenation

Chapter 12

Xola quickly moved a bit more into the shadows before listening intently to the conversation before her, "Hi, im looking for Lilith would you know where she is or how I could find her?" said the blonde woman.

Atlas looked at her and forced a smile , "Unfortunately I don't know where she is, but I will let her know you came by."

As she finished speaking another voice entered the conversation, "There's no need I am right here but before I talk to you", gesturing to the woman, " I would like to ask how you found your way down here Atlas?"

Xola could tell Atlas was trying hard to come up with an answer that Lilith would believe but ultimately could not find one so she hung her head and said, "I wanted to see what was in that room since its the only one that is locked in this entire place.

Lilith looked at her with a complete disregard for what she had just said and spoke, "There is a reason things remain locked and that current reason is not for you to know now leave and go to your room."

Atlas was defeated and said nothing else as she sipped passed both women. "Now why are you here exactly Danae?" asked Lilith.

"Falos Told me he tried to talk to you and you completely blew him off so he asked me to try and resolve things with you."

Xola was aware that something was wrong with Lilith but how it related to this woman she didn't have the slightest clue.

"Danae I don't like the way that you spoke to me when we first met at Falos' house and I don't really like you in particular".

Danae looked at Lilith and smiled, "You can't dislike me because you don't even know me and yes I will admit that speaking to you that way was not the best thing to do, but if we could start over I would like to get to know you better on one condition."

Lilith and Xola were confused until Lilith asked "What condition?".

Danae spoke proudly, "Don't barge into His house like that anymore, He may have gotten used to it but it's an invasion of his privacy, if you can promise to that then we can truly start over".

Xola was confused because even at this point she still had not seen Falos' home and apparently Danae had already been there.

"Fine Danae i'll give this friendship a shot just to get Falos off my back" , then Lilith abruptly turned to where Xola was hiding and looked directly at her and said, "You can stop hiding now Xola I knew you were there the whole time".

The thing that made Xola anxious was that she said the whole thing while smiling at her. "If you knew I was here how come you didn't just bust me like you did Atlas" asked Xola.

"I told you before I like you and to be honest Danae knew you were there as well she just let you think she didn't".

Xola quickly looked at Danae who was smiling as well, "Blonde hair doesn't mix well with shadows or the color black in general, take it from me" She said as she lightly tugged her own hair.

"So Lilith what is in that room?" Lilith looked at Xola who quickly spoke, "Why are you looking at me".

"Because it is your prize and if you don't want people to know then I wont show them".

Xolas face lit up with excitement, "It's mine but, how and when did you decide?" Lilith couldn't stop beaming at the young girl, "Before me and Falos had our falling out we both

agreed you should win regardless and with Xola obviously trying to take it I would not let her win anyway." Xola nodded and walked over to the door and Lilith input the code and walked in to show Danae.
