Chapter 65 {Damian pov}

It's been nine days since Namaari gave Lilith the potion and nothing has happened yet. I'm aware that the potion would take time but this is taking too long and I'm running out of patience.

I refused to leave Lilith's side, I've always stayed in the room with her. I feed her, took care of her but I don't dress her, it's the maids that do that. I sat down beside Lilith, I held her hand and I kissed it. "When would you wake up Lilith? I need you" I said to her in a whisper.

I laid down beside Lilith, I took off my shirt. I rapped her around my body, my body acts as a heater to help warm her up, I fell asleep in the process. Some hours later I felt something tugged my waist, I opened my eyes to see Lilith staring at me. "Lilith are you're awake" I said. "Who is Lilith?" She asked.

"You are" I said. "I'm not Lilith, my name is Eleanor" She replied. "Eleanor?" I asked in confusion. Who the hell is Eleanor? Where is my Lilith?. I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. "Diamond.... Summon your Mother and come along side her" I said to Diamond through the mind link.

I stood up from the bed, I picked up my shirt and I wore it. "Where am I? Who are you? Why did we sleep on the same bed?" Lilith asked. I was about to answer her question when Diamond, Silver, Sylvester, Ivy and Queen Namaari entered the room. They all seemed happy to see Lilith awake.

Diamond ran to her and she gave her a big hug. "Lilith I'm so happy you're alright" Diamond said. "Who is this Lilith you keep calling? My name is Eleanor" She said. "Huh? I don't understand what so you mean by Eleanor?" Diamond asked in confusion. "Do you now understand why I called you here Namaari?.... Why does she think that she's Eleanor?" I asked.

"It's.... Um... She's this way because her soul left her body for a very long time... So she thinks she's someone else. Don't worry she'd be fine in a few days" Queen Namaari. "Are you sure?" I asked. "I'm sure" Queen Namaari said. Silver looked at me in shock then he turns to Lilith. "Who are you?" Silver asked. "I am Eleanor the descendant of King Ikaris... The heir to the throne of Sersi" She said.

"So you're a Princess?" Sylvester asked. "Yes" She replied. "What happened to you?" Diamond asked. "My Kingdom was betrayed by a close friend of my Kingdom whom we had an alliance. They waged war against our Kingdom, they burnt everything to the ground. They killed my Father and Mother, I was meant to marry the King's son so I killed myself" She said.

There was a weird silent that went on in the room. "Don't worry Lilith, you'd regain your memories soon" Diamond said. I dragged Diamond outside. "Are you sure that is Lilith?" I asked. "Yes.... Like my Mother said she just lost some of her memories so she'd be fine" Diamond said. "Very well" I said. "But I suggest we return to your Kingdom, maybe something there might trigger her memory" Diamond said.

"If you say so, then we leave tonight" I said. Diamond left me outside, I stood looking through the window. I doubt that person in the room is Lilith. I entered the room some minute later, everyone had left the room. Lilith still on her bed.

"Are we really close?" Lilith asked. "What?" I asked in confusion. "We slept on the same bed so I presume we're pretty close" She said. Well we've kissed numerous times, so we are close right?. "I'd take your silence as a yes" She said as she went back to sleep.

I entered the bathroom to shower, once I was done I went downstairs where I met everyone. I sat down on a chair, I was too busy thinking about Lilith. I don't think that's Lilith, she might look like her, talk like her, walk like her but she doesn't have that connection I get anytime I'm with Lilith. "Damian is everything alright?" Ivy asked.

"Yes I'm fine, I was just thinking about us returning to our Kingdom tonight" I said. "You're leaving tonight? Don't worry I'd ready the horses for your departure" Queen Namaari said. "Are you chasing me away Namaari? Don't think you can get rid of me that easy, besides It was just a thought I didn't actually say we leave tonight" I said. "Oh.... I thought you... Never mind" Queen Namaari said.

"Diamond I'd like to have a word with you" I said. I walked out of the room, Diamond followed me outside the Castle. "What's the matter Damian?" Diamond asked. "I want to talk to you in private.... You know without anyone listening to our conversation... I know you're listening Namaari" I said.

"Why don't we go up the mountain where no one would ease drop on our conversation" Diamond said. Diamond and I walked up to the mountain which had a water fall. "So what was so important that we had to come here?" Diamond asked. I sat on a rock. "Well I just... I just needed your..... Um.. Look, Lilith asked me if we're close" I said.

"So? What did you tell her?" Diamond asked. "I don't know...." I replied. "What exactly did you say to her?" Diamond asked. "I didn't say anything..." I replied. "What do you think Damian? Are you really close to her?"

"I don't know.... Maybe, I guess" I replied. "What is your definition of close Damian?" Diamond asked. "Close?.... Hmm.... Let's see, being close to someone is when you share a sexual relationship with that person" I replied. "No, no, no, no, everything isn't about s*x Damian. You haven't slept with Lilith but you're close to her" Diamond said.

"Oh I see" I replied. "Ugh Damian.... Let's start little. Being close to someone doesn't mean you need to have have s*x with that person, like I said earlier you had never done anything with Lilith" Diamond said. "Except kissing her" I said interrupting Diamond. "Yes except kissing her. When you're close to someone you worry if they're hurt, sick or in trouble. It's just the way you react anytime she's In trouble. In other we could also say you love her" Diamond said.

"So your theory is that aside from the fact that I'm close to her, you also think that I.... love her?" I asked. "What is your problem? Huh? What exactly is wrong with you Damian? Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact that you're in love with this girl? When everyone around you clearly see it" Diamond said. "Is it that obvious?" I asked.

"Um, yeah!! When would you accept the truth already? You know what, don't answer that. I'm gonna leave you to think about your feelings... I have to go, I don't know why but each time I lecture you I get a terrible headache. I'm afraid if I keep this up I might get a wrinkle" Diamond said. "I think you have one already" I said. "Haha, very funny" Diamond replied sarcastically.

Diamond left me, I just sat down thinking about what she said. Do I really?... Am I in love with Lilith? I mean don't get me wrong and all but I admit I do get this warm and fuzzy feeling anytime she's around and I do seem to lose control anytime she's in danger and I also get jealous anytime she's with another guy.

Could that be described as love? Well if yes, then I do love Lilith. I stood and the mountain. "I DO LOVE LILITH!! I'M IN LOVE WITH LILITH!!" I yelled.
