I didn't know where I was. Everything around me was so surreal. I looked around and found myself at the precinct. The walls were a pinkish color and this unnerved me. Then I saw Scotty Valens a partner of mine holding a baby girl.
"Scotty, when did you have a girl?" I asked.
"Oh, it's not mine. Good thing too, because I really don't want it." Scotty looked at me, and then placed the baby on the desk. I watched as the helpless baby started crying. I wanted to do something, but I couldn't. I looked up and saw Kevin picking up the baby.
"Come with me Lilly. It's time for you to learn." He said.
I followed him through the precinct as I saw Stillman, Kat, Nick, and Scotty all holding a baby. I couldn't stand to look at any of them, and I think Kevin knew this because he slowed down. Still I followed him, and still he lead me. Finally we entered the interegation room. Only it wasn't how I remembered it. The walls were red and black. I felt very uneasy, and looked at Kevin. He said nothing and opened another door. I watched as Ray walked into the room.
"What are you doing here Ray? I thought you left?" I asked.
Ray walked up to me, held my hands inside of his, and kissed me. A mix of feelings were swarming my head. While I felt comfort and happiness I was also confused. Why was this happening? Ray stopped the kiss, and gently placed his hand on my stomach. What was he saying? That he wanted a baby?
"Ray, I..." I couldn't finish before Kevin lead Ray out of the room. Kevin then stood in front of me.
"What do you want?" I asked. "Why am I here?"
"You are here, because you desire truth." Kevin told me.
I let out a sigh. "Obviously I'm here for a reason and I want to find out what it is!" I snapped, my patience wearing thin.
Kevin's normally cold expression softened a little. "Follow me." He said.
Again I followed him, and soon he lead me inside of a building. Immediately I gagged from the smell in the air. It smelled like rotting flesh, and the stench was so strong. I looked around and saw the walls splattered with blood, and cold steel tables lined up covered in surgical instruments. These too were also covered in blood.
"Keep following me. You are a step closer to the truth." Kevin commanded.
I gladly followed him, hoping to get out of this place soon. The next room he lead me to was an examination room. That's when Kevin told me to sit down. I did as asked. I continued to sit down waiting for something happen. What felt like hours passed, and then I saw a vision of me on the examining table with a doctor.
"Miss Rush; we want you to know that there are several options." The doctor said.
"I know that, but I just can't do them. No; I've thought about this and having this abortion is my only option." I saw myself say.
"Alright, we'll make you an appointment." The doctor said.
And then the image faded, and I was slumped over in shock. After what had been awhile I looked at Kevin trying not to cry. I was surprised to see that Kevin wasn't looking at me coldly.
"Shedding tears for a little one is not a crime." Kevin stated.
My eyes were welling up, but I choked them back. "No, not yet. I have to know why I did this!" I exclaimed.
"Very well then. You will return to the otherrealm, right about...now!"
Suddenly I woke up. I was still on that bed, but now it wasn't so inviting. I stood up, and looked around the room. Then I left the room, and headed to the second floor of the hospital.
Author's notes: So the sin that Lilly committed is now out in the open. However she's unaware of the reason why.
The next chapters, Death, Temprence, and the Tower will slowly reveal the why. This story will have four endings, but only one is canon.
(and I won't be sharing which one, for quite awhile.)
