17

I had showered, in hot water, hot scalding water, as I scrubbed my body wildly, thinking of the fact that he had touched me with those filthy hands of his before I broke down again and fell to the floor in a heap of red blistering skin and a broken mess.

Now, I am back at the dining table, wearing a big sweater, one of Pops own and sweatpants, my hair in a rough bun and a cup of hot coffee in my hand as I scroll through the web, looking for more information on Lilith.

I know that it did not make any sense, but I wanted to occupy my mind with something else that did not make alot of sense to me and was more complex that what ever reason that Tyler would have had for kissing Dana.

All images I had found of her was with her having a full bout of brown hair that was all curly, which clashed with my ever straight white, with a round voluptuous figure that clashed with my bony body....

She was not me.

And even though I felt relieved... I also felt oddly disappointed.

I read other things about her that I had not in class from Mrs Darcy or Kim Yi Jung.

And there were not pleasing things to read at the most.

A lot of articles said she had refused to bow to Adam as her Dominant and had gone out of the garden where three angels had chased after her.

Some said they found her giving birth to offsprings wgucv the angels murdered about hundred, hurting her feelings which made her swear to kill the children of other humans as revenge.

That they found her mating with an angel called Samael while she has an offspring of demons called Incubi and Succubi who were sex demons that laid with people in their dreams and copulated with them, while also contact with them continuously led to ones health deterioration, mental state and death.

That Lilith was rumoured to be a patron of abortions, death of babies at birth and child disappearance.

God....

This can not possibly be me, no matter what era I had come in.

And this, was what Kim said I was, or am?

Once again, I was beginning to question his sanity.

Sighing now, I take a sip from my cup, my eyes still scrolling down the laptop for any piece of information that would debunk all the evil Lilith's claims before I feel the table buzz.

My mind quickly begins to panic, in fear but I do not move because my body is still too scared to respond.

I just feel my head turn to the edge if the table where the supposedly alleged phone of mine laid, buzzing furiously.

On impulse, I reach out for it, grasping it as the vibration stops and hold it up to my face, seeing about thirty missed calls and 50+ messages from an unknown number.

The phone buzzes almost immediately again, from the sane person and I am about to decline until I see a message on the screen that pops it immediately

Unknown: Don't dare me Iana.

My blood runs cold immediately.

How had he known?

Was he... Was he actually spying on me right now?

Feeling myself enter shock, I just stare fearfully at the phone, not picking or declining till it stops and I begin to go through the message which makes my throat begin to clog up with confusion and fear.

Unknown: You left without telling me. This disobedience of yours is getting out of hand.

Unknown: Are you mad at me for intruding in your little party? Butterfly, mi amor, forgive me, I shall never give my attention to any other person again as long as it is not you.

Unknown: Where are you? I'm beginning to worry.

Unknown: What the fuck is he doing there?!

Unknown: Get him out, or I'd kill him!

Unknown: Why is he touching yo there's a knife next to you in that counter, stab him, if not, I'd let you take the fall for it!

Unknown: What have I told you about people? They will never understand us, they would always hurt people like us. So now, kill him.

Unknown:BEECH YOU LET HIM LEAVE THE HOUSE!

Unknown: Don't waste your tears in such an ugly being, you deserve more, mi cara, so much more....

Unknown: Pick my call.

Unknown: Pick my call.

Unknown: Pick my call.

Unknown: I would barge into that goddamn house if you do not stop crying and spank you till the while world shakes for you to stop that incessant crying of yours!

Unknown: Lilith..... I am very pissed right now. Please don't make me kill anyone.

There were others, lined with worry, and then anger and the ever threatening ones that should not seen like they were possible though I was quite sure that he was not joking.

The phone begins to ring again and I don't answer it, just drop the phone infront of me staring at the screen till it stops ringing and the screen grows black.

I am panting now, scared out of my wits, wondering if he would barge into my house and hit me or something that would end with me bleeding or on the ground, begging for forgiveness, but the whole was silent....

Till the buzz comes up and so does the screen with a new nessage.

With my hands shaking, I click in the message, gasping immediately

There was a picture of Tyler in his room, staring at the ceiling like it was looking directly into the camera, and an accompanying message

Unknown: It would just be a shane if anything should happen to this boy, do you know Butterfly?

All of a sudden, like my brain had been set in fire, I began to type down his number and call it.

He picked it on the first ring "Tsk tsk, this is not helping his favour at all. The fact I was calling and you were proving stubborn about it and then knowing I could kill him, made you suddenly run into my arm. This makes me realise he is important to you, and I don't know Iana... I am a very jealous man"

"Please don't hurt him" I say.

"Even after he hurt you? I might not be able to restrict myself. It irritates me. The fact that he dare let beautiful pearls of your tears fall and did nothing to comfort you. I have produced a spineless race of fools"

"Please just stop all this talk about you being Adam and I , Lilith because its not true!" I yell, exasperated then with a sob, I add "I am not a monster"

There is silence on the other end of the phone, and it's like he is gone making me say "Hello?"

I hear a low sound, like he was breathing in air, slowly, reassuring me that he was here as he says "You are not a monster. You are Lilith. My lilith, my harmless butterfly that loves gardens and me. Not what you've read... But what I'm telling you"

His voice sounds so calm and soothing, like he was trying to hypnotize just like all the other times that he had somehow managed to do the same thing all through.

But not this time.

"Please" I say "Just leave Tyler alone. I cannot take anymore" And then I hang up, fresh tears springing up again.
