A/N: I didn't want to post this so soon but I figured it might help spread the word. Young Justice is being cancelled. Unfortunately I can't post links in chapters, but if you want to help save Young Justice the links will be on my page.
The women layed with a smile. Her new born child bundled in her hands. She glanced at her older daughters, their heads a mix of blonds and red. Tears trailed their cheeks, she gave a smile and looked back at the youngest daughter.
"Well, aren't you a black sheep?" The women muttered in a weak breath. Her fingers gingerly stroking her black locks while leaving red streaks. As her breath grew weaker, the newborn's grew stronger. "Do you like the name Sphinx?" The child was almost dead still and quite.
Hey there Black Sheep,
Where's your mother's soul?
"Just because my sigil is the Ankh." Dee-Dee gave a smile and rolled her eyes. She sat next to the mother, body sinking deeper into the bed than the other. "Lilith?" The newborn opened her eyes, and with a breath they glazed around the room.
"Of course." The mother laughed, "When I see her I'll tell her that I named one of my daughters after her." Her head rolled with little control, and her eyes found their way to her older daughters. They stood tall with slumped shoulders, niether one of them wiping tears from their eyes. "Carmine." The primary blonde haired daughter glanced up. "Vera." Her jaws clenched and she only directed her head away from the newborn. Lastly she turned to Lilith as Dee-Dee lifted the girl from her weakening hold.
"I love you."
"Mom!" Vera's head snapped to the bed, only to find the main occupaint gone. With her fist balled her eyes targeted Lilith as she took her first deep breath and cried.
Stolen and broken
by your little damned jaws.
From an infant in Dee-Dee's arms to a child bowing on the floor. An older Lilith was in a pool of red, a hand on her neck. Taking deep breaths, mist slithered from the blood and into her lounges. They turned darker with each breath. The gouge that broke bones and skin was closed,he blood now an souless black pool. The pained moved; from her neck to her head and chest. Falling from her face, tears hit the floor. Her dark eyes just cought the glimpse of her sister's steel and shadows.
Stoned by your elder,
shadowed by the younger,
From a child in blood now a women running in a red void. Too often did the void change, a vortex swept her off her feet and slice into her skin. More and more claws darker than the chaos emerged, attacking her or merely blocking the path.
Laughter echoed louder than the howls of the choas. Finally a vortex of crimson lifted her from the ground and warped into a claw. Lilith gasped and struggled. The hands of chaos tightening and sqeezing every drop of life. Her closed eyes barely opened to see the Lord before her. "Klarion," She bared her fangs in pain and malice. Both only sent the Lord of Chaos into laughs.
His high pitched voice continued singing: "You flee from the darkness and straight into my claws."
