Two days passed by after the' hospital day.'Today she was walking to her school first time after the whole screaming episode. She had stitches on her forehead. Apart from that, most of her external injuries have faded. The reddish marks that remained on her stomach, was well hidden by her violet sweater and blue waist-high leggings paired with a brown trench coat.
Jeff was still having breathing difficulty, a bad case of constipation, and red skin from all the itching he did for two days, which was slightly blistered. But Lilith didn't think of him as an eligible candidate for naloxone therapy. He still had things to pay for the stuff he did to her. He was planning on visiting the doctor today, but Lilith knew he would probably be given a dose or two of antihistamines that will only ease his breathing and itching, not his blisters or his intestinal obstruction. well...in her opinion, he deserved that.
Honestly, if there wasn't something like a voice inside her mind that told her to fight she would have lost her virtue in a matter of seconds that day. She didn't know whether to classify the voice she heard as her subconscious or a voice from the dream. But whatever it was, she was thankful for its help that was the first in her life, someone was there to help her. It feels good when there's something, someone for you.
There were murmurs and whispers around her which was not so subtle. Popping eyeballs and raised brows following her, as she walked around each turn of the corridor to her class. She could hear sneers and scoffs, and the name Daniel in between catcalls and hoots. She could repeatedly hear the words free, weirdo, slut, or whore directed at her. She popped up the cap of her trenchcoat covering the rest of her exposed face and continued her expedition in her pebble of ignorance, towards her desired destination, which was physics class.
She walked to her usual seat which was now decorated with more chewed gums than the customary. To her intense displeasure, the high school bitch Madelyn was sitting with her leg high near her seat as if waiting for her prey. Lilith prayed in her mind to make her carry on as if nothing happened and complete the damn school day as fast as possible. Plus she had some little measures for survival stored up in her bag too. She won't be said to be in her sound mind If she expected that these guys would take her back as a 'normal freak' after the last screaming incident. So, she had packed a pair of pepper spray cans with her books just in case.
Madylin was spreading her legs as usual so that Lilith would trip on her high heels. Lilith weighed her options if she doesn't trip and fall Madeleine would go for severe measures to humiliate her in front of the whole class. If she trips and falls she will be a laughing stock for the jocks, but that can be a much graceful fall if that's self-designed. So, going with the plan, Lilith tripped over and fell on the floor on her knees, and a particular bitch who looked like a makeup coated cow, sneered." look where you are going, you freak" and as expected all the high school jocks were laughing their ass off as if Charlie Chaplin played his best mime in front of them. Madeline's sidekicks snickered showing off their plastic boob implants and hair extensions with enlarged nails and some other stuff, that I don't want to name, in itty bitty dresses.
Jesse was laughing with them, probably proving how cool he is. Lilith doesn't think that it doesn't hurt her but it doesn't hurt as much it did before. She managed to get on her feet, quite gracefully and settled in her chewing gum-coated chair. And to her utter displeasure ms. Penelope their supposed physics teacher for the hour, bailed upon them at the last minute, which left her in the midst of obese, good for nothing, bullies who thought they were better than her.
There were mutterings and snickers directed towards her from the group of jocks and cheerleaders standing at the corner of the class, which included Jesse, Madeline, and her minions who were always seen plastered to like they are glued to her. After trying to read her physics notes about dielectric constants and electrostatic attraction evading the paper balls thrown at her and overcoming the sedation from the medications, Lilith straightened her neck to see all the bullies advancing straight in her direction.
Madeline was the first to reach her." bitch...I am gonna show you the brain cells in your shitty brain today.." She screeched." that would be more than the total neurons in your godamn body, " Lilith thought in her mind.
Jesse was smirking at her as if he was enjoying the whole show in front of him. Damien, Lilith thought, that must be the name of the jock near Jesse, he was the one who follows Jesse around like a lost puppy, yelled.." you shitty freak...who in the right mind would fuck your vexing body? probably the Daniel she screamed about must be some nutcase who escaped from some mental asylum.."
Lilith winced at his insult, but what else should she expect from these low lives. She stayed frozen in her seat as Jesse opened his mouth." what else should we have expected from you, freak..? when I talked to her, she tried to seduce me by kissing me. She is a slut..period.."
That freaking hurt. It was a low blow even for the heartless Jesse. It was he who stole her first kiss when she least expected it. But she never thought that he would use that against her. He knew how she felt about these things. But he didn't care.
She knew she was trapped, rounded by fucking bullies, who shamed her, mocked her, and tortured her. What is the point of resisting? It will probably get worse. She closed her eyes as some minion of Madeline, poured her coke over Lilith's head.
Daniel was stirring in his sleep. He could feel a pain in his heart. The same feeling he had many times but wasn't able to differentiate. That feeling lent him some kind of assurance he needed to go on. He could feel the same pain when his blood was coating his pillow when he was half-conscious after his battle with shadow Creed.
But for the first time, he could see a figure inside his head, a girl with a violet sweater and dark brown hair, with green eyes closed, rounded by some people, who had malicious grins on their faces. They were snickering while pouring a brown-colored fluid over her smooth long hair. She just closed her eyes, her face showed no emotions, but she was hurt, the pain was seeping into his heart. One of the bitches step forward towards her desk, grabbed her books, and threw them on the floor.
A boy with brown eyes was smirking and Daniel so badly wanted to remove the arrogant smirk of the bully. He grabbed the girl's hand and pushed her to the floor. The girl was being bullied and there was just a drop of tear that escaped from her green eyes. But it looked like a dam of tears was inside her heart and Daniel could feel the nearing outburst. They were breaking her and he wanted to take her in his arms and protect her from all the damn evil things and darkness around her.
She didn't look helpless, she felt indifferent, she was giving up. Daniel could feel her thoughts. He was surprised to know how much he wanted to be there with her to make her fight. When the girl fell to the floor he felt the thud in his heart, the same thud he felt when he fell into the rabbit hole when he was young. He felt it when he jumped down the cliff. He felt it when he jumped into the waterfall to save the little girl. He could feel it when he fell to the ground after shadow Creed struck. He felt it when he was unconscious and his head bled. He could feel her fall. It was her all along and he didn't know it till now.
she was like a flower bed, nulling his fall, sharing the effects of his fall and now it was she who fell and he wanted to be her flower bed. It was his turn now.
Daniel vied with all his strength. It appeared to be the largest struggle he ever had. He was battling his mind. He yelled out in his mind." fight.....flower...get up and fight.."He could feel himself draining.
