Towards the Future and Beyond

"Master, here is your wine." said Lilith giving Gibson the wine she had prepared.

"I'll go and get some of the roast meat I'd made earlier too." she added, looking away a bit. Her face appeared to be flushed and a few locks of her soft brown hair covered her eyes.

Suddenly, Gibson wrapped one of his arms round her waist. He heard her gasp slightly. Pushing her under himself on the bed he said, "I'm more interested in what's under your dress, my Doll."

For a moment, he saw a flash of anger and hate in her chocolate-coloured eyes, but they were gone within a moment.

"But I made the meat for you.... if you have it later it won't taste good....." Lilith answered, looking away.

Gibson loosened his grip on her and said, "Although I would rather eat you, I am hungry for your food besides I do need energy for tonight.... don't I?" he winked at her as he pulled himself away from her.

"Yes, Master" Lilith answered, "you'll have to eat a lot for tonight."

She got up from the bed and walked to the door. She placed her hand on the door handle when she looked back and added, " Master, please drink the wine. I bought it specially for you."

"I will." was the curt answer she got.

She pushed the door open and left the room with a bright smile on her face.

"My dear Gibson, you are going to die tonight, and you have absolutely no clue that it's your so called Doll who's gonna do that." she thought, picking the plate of meat that Gibson would never get to eat.

It was 4 in the morning and screams echoed throughout the villa. Anyone nearby would have thought that it was a the voice of a soul which was being tortured by a demon, which really was not all that far from the truth.

Lilith stood next to the bed to which Gibson had been tied to. She grinned looking at him screaming for help, but sadly for him, no one would come to save him.

"Oh, come on now you fool. Face it, no one's going to save you. Scream all you want but no one's going to come."she said with a disgusted look in her eyes.

"Why..." Gibson huffed. "are you doing this? If it's because of Camilla, I'll divorce her-Aarrgh" he screamed suddenly, for Lilith had stabbed his palm with a knife.

"Shut up!" she screamed. "Shut. Up. Don't ask why am I doing this when you are the reason! I lost my childhood all because of you! You destroyed my life, you...." She began sobbing hysterically.

The next few minutes went by on a flash, and the next thing she knew, she was staring at Gibson's dead body.

She laughed lightly, stumbling towards the body of the man she had despised since the last 8 years of her life. He was finally dead.

Smiling, she looked at the spectacle she had created. Blood splattered all over the room and the body that was no longer recognisable as something even remotely human. One eye was no longer in its socket and no teeth remained in his mouth. His stomach had been cut open and it's insides were thrown on the floor.

"It's..... scary, but..... also strangely beautiful." she whispered. She knew that it was wrong to say that, or even think that, but she couldn't deny that fact that this was what she had always wanted. To see the man who had made her a demon beg for her to stop, to beg for forgiveness, which she would never grant him.

She looked down at her hands covered in blood. She knew she would not be able to escape from this, but still she wanted to know a life beyond what she been through, a life where she could be truly happy even if it was only for a month. She would go to the Capital, she decided. She would turn herself in after a month or two. She had things she wanted to do before that.

She turned away from the body and her past, and walked towards the door, beyond which her future laid.
