Chapter Eleven; Pious

Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part.

"This house is so big," said Lilith as the two of them walked across the hallway on the top floor. Lilith kept peaking into all the different rooms, aware of privacy whereas Kai would walk in to the room, pick something up, look at it then throw it somewhere.

Two kinds of people.

"Big enough for a lot of people to stay in it?" Kai winked, biting his lip. It was as if he knew what actions would rile her up and make her hormones rise like a tidal wave in a tsunami.

Lilith chuckled nervously. "Yeah, one bedroom for you and one for me at the opposite side of the house." She couldn't stop her nervous laughter from tumbling out.

Kai tutted and stopped the two of them in the corridor. He backed her up against one of the walls and placed his hands beside her head, leaning in closer. "Don't lie to yourself Tiger-Lily, you know you don't want to be that far apart," he all but purred, his face mere centimeters from hers.

Lilith thwacked her head on the wood behind her, not even feeling the dull pain. "I-I." She didn't know what to say, she felt trapped and almost lured by Kai. She wanted to ravish him, have him throw her on the bed and pleasure her in all kinds of ways but even her mind was slightly against that, he was bad, he killed people, he killed his family, what's to stop him from killing her?

At least you'll be pleasured before death, it's been a long time since someone besides yourself touched you like that, said her mind, almost taunting her into choosing pleasure above pain.

She heard herself scoff. "You wish, Kai," she said. She smirked as she saw the slightest shock in his eyes, his grip on the wall slipping, giving her leverage to move passed him. "I thought we we're here to see this 'witch'," she said.

Kai watched as she stormed off down the hall, shaking his head at her before following after the angry woman.

"Do we really have to sleep here? Right under their noses? What id they walk in?" Lilith hissed as she was dragged down the hall. They could hear the other two residents snores as they passed the rooms.

Kai grinned at her over his shoulder as he stopped, pushing open one of the cabin like doors and stood on the threshold of the bedroom. Lilith peered over his shoulder and looked around the room. She soon backed away when Kai turned to face her. "Bye." He grinned and shut the door in her face.

Lilith stood still, shocked at his rudeness and slightly hurt. What was she supposed to do now? She asked herself this as she looked up and down the long and dark corridor before walking to the next door she saw. She opened it up and saw there were a couple of steps. She chose to risk it and walked up them, only to see another door.

This time behind the door was a bedroom, a very small one with boxes clustered together all over it. It was more of a storage room than a bedroom but Lilith didn't care. As long as there was something to sleep on she was fine with the mess. She settled onto the bed, looking around the room cautiously. She felt nervous, her palms were clammy and her heart was racing. It reminded her of her first sleepover.

"You're not going to do any pranks and record them and post them online right?" Asked a worried and nervous Lilith. Her friends snickered and shook their heads at her expense.

"No, stop worrying, we won't do any of that, even if we did it would be a laugh anyway," said her closest friend, Daphne with an encouraging smile.

They ended up pranking Daphne.

Just as Lilith began to settle down on the bed she heard a bang within the room keeping her alert. "H-hello?" She whispered, pulling the covers to her nose as her eyes darted around the darkened room.

She heard the wind blowing through the ventilation and squeaked, mistaking it for an answer to her. She could see something move on the wall and let out a high pitched squeal, throwing the covers from her body and running to the door.

At this moment in time she didn't care that there was a vampire and potential witch a couple of rooms down the hall. All she cared about was getting to safety; Kai.

She slid to a stop outside of his room and hesitated to knock; would he be mad that she disturbed him? Would he be dressed? What if he wasn't dressed? Lilith shook her head as she began to question her hormones at a time of need. She licked her chapped lips, breathing in deeply before opened the door.

"And there go my ovaries," she whispered as she eyed the boy sprawled on top of the bed covers, his chiselled chest on show as were his muscular thighs. "Thanks Kai, for ruining my chances of having children," she hissed sarcastically.

"What?" Groaned Kai, his head turning to look at her as he stretched his body out. "Ugh. What do you want?" He asked her, turning on his side, throwing the cover over him.

Lilith suddenly remembered why she had ran to his room. "I saw a ghost," she whispered bashfully, realising how ridiculous it sounded out loud.

"Well yeah, I assume there would be loads, vampires lived here, there's bound to be some," muttered Kai, his face pressed into the soft pillow. His eyes were on her shaking figure, eyeing her as she stiffened even more at his words.

"Why would you say that? That's not helpful," she said, horrified by his words. She glowered as he replied with tired laughter.

"What do you want me to do about it?" Asked Kai, watching as she stepped closer to the bed, biting her lip shyly. "No," he said, guessing what she was about to ask him. Her face dropped as he said the words.

"Oh please, please Kai," she begged, pressing her hands together whilst pouting. "It's scary, I prefer home to this," she whispered, looking down at her feet. She looked up at him through her eyelashes just in time to catch him rolling his eyes at her.

"The floor looks comfy," said Kai, rolling over, his back turned to her.

Lilith grinned and happily skipped over to the side of the bed, grabbing the other pillow that Kai wasn't using and placed it on the floor, by chance she spotted a beige blanket and grabbed it, laying it down on the ground. She soon settled down, wrapping herself up in the blanket. This was better than the other rooms.

She could hear his soft snores as she tucked her hands under her head, her mind racing as she thought of the house they were in. All these supernatural beings made her nervous, she never knew what world she was entering when she went after the coven.

Lilith walked down the quiet street, the heels of her boots scraping against the concrete of the road, the 'click-clacking' causing an echo around her. She held on tightly to the handle of the knife, her eyes looking everywhere.

"You're looking for us," said a voice from behind her, causing her to twirl around, a gasp caught in her throat as she tripped, backing away from the man who had appeared from thin air. "You're looking for us," he repeated, stepping forward.

"Y-yes," she stuttered, gulping down her need to run out of fear. She knew what he was, who he was, what he was apart of. She had imagined this moment for two years, but she had never thought of how she would react.

"Why?" He snapped, following her as she kept backing up the road. He saw the glint of the night as the street lamps shined upon it. "You're here to kill us?" He guessed, an eyebrow cocked as he clasped his hands together behind his back. "Here should do it," he said.

Lilith stopped and tilted her head, confused by his statement. That was until several men and women began to appear, forming a circle around the twenty year old. "What's happening?" She asked, her head snapping from left to right, her eyes unable to stay on one person, until she glanced back at the man.

"You need quietening, we can't kill you, it's against our morals," he tutted, smiling politely to her. "Sanguinem filio, sanguinem effurgarex perpetuum. Sanguinem filio, sanguinem effurgarex perpetuum. Phesmatos filio, phesmatos effurgarex perpetuum."

Lilith felt her heartbeat quicken, her breath coming out in pants as she began to panic, the chanting going straight through her head as it grew louder, the men and women stepping closer and then a flash of light engulfed her.

Lilith clenched her eyes shut and fisted her palms, curling up into a ball as she remembered just how she had got here. Soon she fell asleep.

A few hours later she was shaken awake, her eyes opening to meet a smiling face. "Hate to disturb you're bad dreams but 'Damon' woke up, he's coming this way," said Kai, informing her of the name of the vampire all the while.

Lilith noted that he had dressed himself and was ready to get on with the day. "How have you got new clothes?" She asked, her mind a little disorientated as she struggled to stand up, eventually she succeeded, cracking her spine as she stretched.

"I woke up some time ago," he told her, flicking his hand at her in dismissal. "What were you dreaming about?" He suddenly asked, turning towards her. "You were groaning and moaning and crying and you just wouldn't stop."

Lilith's eyes widened considerably as she was told this and shrugged indefinitely. "I was just remembering how I got here is all," she muttered, biting at her lip.

Kai narrowed his eyes. "Stop that," he snapped.

Lilith's eyes once again snapped wide open, shocked at his sudden sharpness. "Stop what?" She asked, her chewing on her lip becoming harsher.

"That, stop doing that," he hissed, pointing at her face. Lilith jumped, backing away slightly and let go of her lip. "Thank you," he breathed, looking away from her.

"Why? It wasn't offending you," she said, confusion laced in her tone.

"It was annoying," he told her, shaking his head. "Now c'mere," he ordered, nodding his head, gesturing towards himself. "I need magic," he said as he grabbed her by the shoulders, tugging her jacket off.

"I really don't get why you have to touch my skin," she said as she rolled up her long sleeves. She held back her whimper as his cold arms rested on her arms, shocking her at the coldness against her warmth. "God, you're freezing."

Kai ignored her as he concentrated on absorbing her magic. Lilith watched, albeit in pain, as his eyebrows furrowed, his nose scrunching up the tiniest bit. He stared at her neck as his concentration became narrower then without warning he let her go and rolled his shoulders back and forth.

"That was weird," he mumbled, gentle wiggling his fingers as the magic flowed through him. "Did you feel that?" He asked her but was replied with a shrug. "It was a tingling feeling, felt like I was taking more than magic," he muttered. "Anyway." He shook his head and clapped his hands. "Time to go."

Lilith stared after him as he quietly opened the door, peeking up and down the hallways before stepping out, gesturing for her to follow him.

"You get us caught and I'll kill you."

"Not if they kill us first."

"Good job we can come back to life then," replied Lilith, sarcasm heavy in her tone.
