the betrayal

working in the world where you watched the people grow old and die and still keep their legacies alive was fun to watch as well as depressing, in a way. it was all fun and games to rob till the early 1400s after that it was hard not to get caught and still eat something yummy, that's when i started a company which grew over the years and is now a multi-national company serving the people all over the world. it was necessary to change the committee members every few years and it was time for me to hand over the company again to one of my own after a whooping 30 years of my ruling. i was a bit strict when it came to my company, it was understandable as i was the founder but no one other than my own people new about it. the workers were all mostly human and only a few of my own were even in the board it was necessary to make it believable to the world. every now and then we would fire a few of our own to keep the suspicions from reaching others outside our circle. Now you might be wondering who i am, well... i am the heroine of this story i am Lilith.

Lilith's POV

Waking up to a warm sun everyday wasn't on my Wishlist when i decided to leave heaven, still i liked it at times like these. Times when i would have nothing to do except sit at home and do nothing. So i decided to go out into the sun and immerse myself in its warmth.

Warmth... i closed my eyes and lifted my face up to the welcoming sun, that's when i felt the presence of someone else in these green meadows, my favorite place in the entire earth. I opened my eyes and scanned the area, that's when i saw someone or something considering its just greenery for miles as i am standing in the middle of the vast beauty. I called out, "who is it?" no answer, "Adrian, if its you then its not funny sneaking up on me like this, and you know it" i blinked, and there he was a stranger but the most beautiful one that i have ever seen, well after Adam of course but this man ...damn was he handsome. Blond hair slicked back, freshly shaved face, and those eyes....those blue like the ocean eyes so vibrant in its beauty that anyone who looks into them will be intimidated and be forced to look down. He reached out his hand and said," Hi, I'm Nex (death) i would like to speak with you if you have time?". Well to say i was surprised...no i was FLABBERGASTED, "Lilith, and yes what is it so important that you have come to me directly?" i asked. Death had never come to see me even when i was in hell with Samael (demon who gave me shelter after i fled heaven) not that death has any relation with him or that i wanted to see him, i always thought death would be some old man in a suit ready to reap souls to satisfy himself but this man in front of me was wearing a black t-shirt and trousers?, "if i have your attention then i would like to discuss with you about Amara. As you may already know that she died a few years back, I have wanted to talk to you about her from the moment i met her but its been hard to track you down with all the work i have had i thought now would be a good time to talk as you and i are both free".

I remember Amara she was the oldest witch, I heard she died because of a vampire. Her coven was in chaos, they found out who killed her and mutilated his body. I am glad it wasn't one of my own, gladly the leader of the clan took care of the problem and prevented it from reaching me. "Okay, you have my attention but I don't think now would be a good time to discuss serious things. You see… I was actually enjoying my time alone after a very long time of taking care of my own and my company so I don't think you understand this but now is not a good time". I don't think this was a good idea that I rejected him from talking to me, I know that this might be important or else he wouldn't be here by himself and would have send one of his reapers to deliver his message, but just as important as this might be to him, the time I have been giving to myself over the centuries so as to not breakdown again is also important to me. "Please don't misunderstand what I am trying to say to you Nyx, I am not trying to be rude here its just that this is my time and it is important to me, very much at that so, it would be really great if you could understand what I am trying to say here". "I know Lilith and I understand, but it is important that I speak to you. I have already delayed this matter long enough." The expression on his face is screaming at me to listen to him and so is my mind so why not give him a chance to explain himself, "okay, I am giving you 2 days and promise me you will leave me alone after that" "I promise". Hearing him say that gave me a peace of mind not because he was doing something that I've never heard him do but because he was willing to do that for me, ME? this thought crossed my mind and I knew I was in for something that I am not at all prepared for and that this might be something that will change my centuries long life into something else. "It is about who you truly are and why you have been painted as the bad guy for all these years, and of course…by whom." This truly did catch my interest not that I haven't been itching to know who was behind all this, making me the centre of a few articles like, 'is Lilith behind the suffering of newborns' 'people believe crib deaths are cause by Lilith and use signs and symbols to ward her off' 'among Lilith's many "hobbies": hounding mankind, night emissions in men, crib deaths, and sucking blood. Who really is Lilith?'. These articles used to amuse me once but after they began appearing so often I knew that someone was indeed watching me and wasn't going to leave me alone anytime soon. How I came to this conclusion was really simple: people don't usually stick to one topic they move on after a few days of gossiping. But the news about me was always circulating and it was pretty obvious too if you take the facts into consideration. "Go on", I said. "Its him" he said pointing to the sky. "No, it can't be" I argued back. Even though I did hold a grudge against God for not being on my side and telling Adam that we were created equals when he was fighting with me to be on top while having sex for the first time, I still believed he created me and made me immortal for a reason and that reason I believed was because of the affection he had for me as I was his first human daughter. But now that I think about all the times I wished I was still human, it came to me like a thunderclap that making me immortal and forcing me to drink blood for survival was actually a curse and not his blessing.
