I'm evil, that's how I was born, and ultimately I will be consumed by the darkness. I know it will over take me, for I was named for my place in the dark castle. My true name is Phoebe Halliwell, for I am a lovelorn and seductive dark flower, and that is what he called me. His dark flower. For this and other reasons, I will not mention my last name, for it matters not to me anymore. I was born in the underworld and raised by my father, though he has many names most call him the devil. The torment I suffered under the hands of my father will never be forgot but I refuse to remember it, when I was sixteen I used magic to escape the personal hell that my father had create for me in the underworld. I was reborn in human form as a baby with all the memories of my previous life, I do not wish to be that be that person now, I just want to be Lilith King. The only child of a normal family in a little town in the middle of nowhere. But I know I can never be normal, not with the shadow of my father hanging over me.

Eva Penn is my best friend, well my only friend, but we're like sisters. She is the only one who understands me. "Hey Eva," I called from my adoptive mom's car as we drove past her house.

"Hey Lil, Mrs. King. How are you both?" Eva asked walking along the side of the car.

"Good, Eva. Now get in the car before were late for school." I told her.

"Didn't you hear school got canceled?" Eva told me and my mom jerked the car to a stop.

"What? Why?" she asked Eva.

"Some foreign exchanged kid is transferring in; it's supposed to be a big deal for the school. His parents are like super rich or something." Eva told us.

"Man that's awesome," I said getting out of the car. "Thanks for the ride anyway Mom."

"Yeah, yeah. Go, I have work." Mom said and drove off.

"So this guy what's his name?" I asked Eva turning back to her.

"Cole, that's all I've heard. Besides that fact that he's really hot." she said matter of factly.

"Great that's just what we need, another guy for the cheerleaders to fawn over." I scoffed.

"He can't be that bad. I mean come on, Lil; nothing is ever as bad as you make it out to be." She reminded me. And she was right it wasn't as bad it worse, much worse.

School the next day went smoothly; I didn't even see him there. But when I did that's when the trouble started. He was transferred into my homeroom class, I remember that day as if yesterday. It was a Wednesday; our teacher was Mr. Waszinki at the time.

"Class, hey pay attention." He yelled. "Alright now that everyone has calmed down, I'd like to introduce our new student. Cole Turner." Looking up I saw him, he was radiant. I had never seen anyone as handsome as he was. He was a picture of light, his hair was a light shade of blond that resembled the sunlight and his eyes were as blue as a sky on a clear day. I just, I couldn't put together a thought and for the first time in my life I believed there was a God. For no one except God could have created someone like him, he was perfect.

When I finally snapped out of my daydream, I realized some one was talking to me, he was talking to me. "Can I sit here?"

"I uh, sure." I answered him.

"I'm Cole." he told me.

"It fits you," I commented quietly to myself, but he heard me.

"What does?" he questioned looking at me curiously.

"Your name, Cole." I added in a whisper.

"Well in that case since you know so much about me, how about you tell me your name?" he asked.

"It's Lilith." I told him simply.

"Oh, well it was nice to meet you. I think the bells about to ring." he said with a slight smile.

"Whatever, bye." I said just as the bell rang. The moment I saw him I knew something was going to go wrong, his voice was like silk and as he left I felt a part of myself go with him.

I raced from the classroom to find Eva in the hallway. "Eva, Eva." I called out to get her attention. "Oh my God you'll never believe who I just met." I said as I caught up with her at the end of the hallway.

"Who Lil? She asked uninterested.

"The hottest guy in the world." I told her. Now for Eva that sparked her interest.

"What? Who?" Eva asked.

"Cole Turdan," I told her.

"The new guy, wait I thought he was just some new thing for the cheerleaders to fawn over." Eva said in an imitation of my voice.

"Oh shut up. He's the most heavenly…"

"Heavenly what?" Ty Sanders, God is he annoying. I swear he lives to torture me.

"Go away Ty," I told him.

: Sure after you tell me who is heavenly," Ty said.

"Ty shut up."

"Oh come on Lilith." He said.

"I told you not to call me that Ty." I shouted, a little louder than intended.

"Fine 'Lil', just tell me who's heavenly?" he whispered.

"I swear Sanders I'm going to kill you." I said lunging at him.

"Miss King how many times do I have to tell you to leave Mister Sanders alone?" the principal asked me.

"About as many times as I've asked him," I mumbled.

"That's enough out of you Miss. King, detention tomorrow after school." He said.

"That's not fair sir," I argued.

"Do you want to make it two days worth?" he asked.

"No sir."

"Good," he handed me the detention slip and walked away.

"You are so dead Sanders," I said under my breath.

"Who's dead?" I heard Cole say from behind me. Turning around I was faced with six feet of pure angel.

"Uh no one I was referring to Ty and what I'm going to do to him." I said.

"Why, what did he do to you?" he sounded worried it was kind of sweet.

"Oh well nothing out of the ordinary just harassing me, getting me detention. The usual," I told him.

"Lilith this doesn't sound like someone you should be friends with." Cole said.

"Were not friends, he just follows me around and annoys me." I informed him.

"Hey Lil. I, oh my." Eva said approaching us. "Hello."

"Hi," Cole responded.

"Eva meets Cole, Cole this is my friend Eva." I introduced them.

"Ah well it is a pleasure to meet you Eva." He said.

"Yea you too, Lil I'm going to go Kay see ya." She said and left.

"Sorry about that she's a little spacey." I told him.

"Yes I can see, well Lilith I think we both should be getting off to class. I talk to you later." He told me.

"Okay," I said and walked away just as the bell rang.

Cole never did stop amazing me; he found me everywhere I went. Where I was he was there. "You keep showing up like this and people are going to start to suspect something." I said with my back facing Cole.

"People or you?" he challenged.

"Maybe you're a stalker, should I call the cops." I joked.

"Funny, you know I came here to ask you out, now I'm starting to think twice about it." He said.

"You… you were going to ask me out?" I asked him.

"Yeah."

"Well my answer would have been yes." I said.

"Really, so Friday?" he asked, "We'll meet here and then I'll take you some where special."

Never had I expected that he would take me to a beach. It just didn't seem like him. "Come on then," he said.

"Coming Cole." I called and followed. "So why are we here?"

"Were on a date, remember," he said.

"No, I meant what here. Specifically," I asked again.

"Oh, I come here sometimes to get away." He said, "I think that's what we needed."

"It's beautiful, the water, the sand, everything." I told him.

"You're beautiful," he said. I felt heat rise in my cheeks.

"I'm not, I told you. I'm a spirit of the night. I'm dark and lonely." I told him.

"Well I think you're beautiful, a beautiful Night Spirit," he whispered to me.

"You don't know what your saying Cole." I tried to argue with him.

"Is it so wrong that I like you?" he asked me.

"If you're with me you'll get hurt," I tried to warn him as he leaned into kiss me.

"Isn't it my decision?" He kissed me then, and I was consumed. Consumed by the light, I felt like I was going to pass out.

"Lilith I think that I should take you home now." He said after pulling away. I think he knew, what I was, who I am. And he didn't want mw anymore. He kissed me politely on my cheek to say goodbye. God what had I done I never should have gone out with him I never should have taken that chance.
