She's absolute perfection. A dream.
He's a beautiful mess. A nightmare.
As soon as he turned 18, he moved out to a house in the dark woods. He's got secrets he can't share, the kind that could ruin him.
He can't stand Lilith and her stubbornness. Atlas hates her and she hates him. He never admits it, but she scares him.
Both of them are constantly at each other's throats and would do anything to piss the other one off. But Lilith decides to take it a step further and makes a plan to annoy Atlas even more by unexpectedly moving into his house.
Lilith finds a sort of twisted satisfaction in being a nuisance to Atlas. She can't deny that sometimes he makes her heart skip beats, but they aren't friends; quite the opposite actually.
---------------------------------------------------
"I walk into my house, tired from studying all day. I unlock my door and walk inside hesitantly, my gut telling me to run in the opposite direction and never look back for some reason.
As I start walking down the hallway, it feels dark and eerie. With every step I take, the floorboards beneath me creak. I feel like I'm in a bad horror movie and someone will jump out at me from nowhere. Just like that one time in middle sch- No I need to stop thinking about that.
As I enter the kitchen, what I see makes my heart stop and my eyes widen.
There in front of me sits my worst nightmare, waving at me while perched on my countertop, with a wicked smile that sends shivers down my spine. It is none other then,
Lilith Keene."
