Lucifer's Queen

Chapter 15

*Erica's pov*

"So you are basically telling me, Lilith knew about this and she gave those dreams to you so you can tell the truth to Yoongi?" J-hope questioned when I am done with my explanation, looking rather solemn. I simply nodded, wiping away the corner of my eyes to get rid of the welding up tears. Everyone in the room looked rather sullen from the news expect Jungkook who walked away as soon as he heard what I said to Yoongi. I don't know why I have a feeling that he went to find the man I left to grief alone in the library.

"But why now?" It was Jin who raised that question. "Why now after all these time?" I shifted my gaze to see around and found everyone was looking at the couple sitting next to each others on the love seat of their room, while we all either sat on the bed or stand around facing each others. They were mainly focusing on Mang as if expecting her to know the answer. The said girl looked deep in thought before heaving out a sigh.

"We will never understand her intentions!" The girl answered starring into distance as if trying to pull the answers from the swirl of memories in front of her. My gaze shifted to Tae who sat next to her. His face looked skeptical though the knuckles of his fists were turning white from how hard he was clenching them above his lap. "What I can guess is she waited for him to move on so he would be able to handle it better than before." Her gaze shifted on to me and a faint smile appeared on her face, trying to reassure me. 

"It makes sense!" Jimin quipped gaining everyone's attention.

"It actually does Jimin!" This time it was Namjoon who supported Mang's statement. "Think about it! Yoongi was beyond the point of moving on when he first arrived here. He was so broken!" The man continued his explanation. "If he found out the truth back then he wouldn't had been able to bear it and would have done something reckless."

"So she basically waited until he become one among us so he will have us?" Jimin questioned making both Namjoon and Mang nod at him. This made my mind even more confused that it was before.

"But why would she say, Yoongi would hate me more?" I asked not understanding her last statement. I just can't figure out what kind of a person Lilith is and whether her intensions are evil or pure. 

"Because the one Yoongi needs mostly now isn't here and instead of her it's you here in her place looking and sounding exactly like her." Mang answered in a voice that supposed to be blank yet sounded sorrowful to my ears. 

"But she isn't her and I am grateful for that!" Tae said through clenched teeth earning a hurtful look from Mang like his words stung her. Everyone tensed with anticipation when the girl rise into her feet abruptly, glaring dragger down at her mate who sat still glaring and burning with disrelish, unknown to the bizarrerie change on his partner's mood. 

"Answer me honestly Taehyung!" She spat catching the man off-guard as he looked up at his mate with two large startled eyes. "Doesn't even a very tiny piece of your heart wish that Lilith would return and everything would go back to the way they were when we all were happy?" She questioned weighting down each word to show how serious she is about that question. Instead of being surprised like every others in the room, his face instantly darkened, iris hazing with loath and anguish. Full of raw hatred that I cringed even the hostility glare wasn't directed at me. 

Her stood up towering the women and overcasting her petite figure from his looming shadow. For a moment it reminded me of a movie scene where the ghost suddenly appeared out of no where scarring the life out of viewers. He took a step closer to the women who refused to back down and be intimidate by his threatening aura and instead stood firm on her ground demanding answers. Despite the situation, admiration filled my heart seeing the courage on her, taking my respect towards her a step ahead.
