Starco4everr: Thanks.
Please enjoy the last chapter before I work on the real final installment.
The two demons approached the castle in silence. Lilith stopped and hung her head, "Marco?" Marco hummed and looked back in confusion, "Can we not tell Hayley about this? She's going to freak about me going to the forest an-"
"I won't, but I'm pretty sure she has an idea about where we went," Lilith moaned and shook her head, "You shouldn't worry your girlfriend like that, Lilith. Hayley's been your friend since first grade and you two have been practically inseparable since. She has a right to know where you've been. Don't you think I want to keep secrets from Star?"
"What?"
Marco inhaled slowly and shook his head, "When your first grade teacher made you break your horn, nearly causing you to die, I went to her house and killed her and her husband, but not before yelling at that horrible woman. When I got home, you ran up to me and cried, apologizing for not telling me about your teacher,"
"She said you wouldn't believe me,"
"And I told you that of course I would've, and that I had wished you told me sooner and that I didn't have to find out from your friends," Marco reached up and patted the top of Lilith's head as he slightly smiled, "I wanted to keep Star in the dark. I didn't want to tell her because I thought people might look at her as an accomplice, but I realized that if I hadn't had told her, she'd worry and if she had learned from another source, she could've very well hated me,"
Lilith pouted as she looked away, "You shouldn't keep people you care about in the dark like that, it'll only worry them and in turn it'll anger them," Lilith looked up and frowned, "I know you don't want Hayley to worry, but we've been gone all morning and as I said, she probably has a good idea of where we've been, and it'll be better if you tell her before anything can happen,"
Lilith sighed and shook her head, "Yeah…okay," the two turned and continued to walk towards the castle.
Lilith and Hayley sat in the room in silence, Lilith hanging her head with a small frown painted across her lips. She looked up and sighed before shaking her head, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about going to the Forest of Certain Death, but I was with Marco, and I only wanted to look for that bird bastard who almost-"
"Lilith…I went and talked to Star while you two were out in the forest…and I was worried. I wanted to go out looking for you, but my parents, Star's parents, Marco's parents and Star were going to stop me, so all I could do was worry while I waited," Hayley sighed before she wrapped her arms around Lilith and tightly hugged her as she frowned, "I know you were angry at that monster, but Marco told us that he's nothing more than a worm and we shouldn't worry," she broke from the hug and took a deep breath before she leaned down and lightly kissed her girlfriend.
The two broke apart and Hayley frowned as she shook her head, "I'm happy Marco went with you, but I wished you'd at least told me what you were going to do," Lilith sighed before she wrapped her arms around Hayley's neck and lightly kissed her again.
Star and Marco walked down the hall in silence before Star looked up at her husband and arched a brow, "So…what happened out there? Should I be worried?"
"We found Ludo, Lilith talked to him before tearing him to shreds," Star stopped and stared at him with wide eyes as Marco sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "I told her if she decided to kill him, no one will blame her or hold it against her. She was upset that Ludo had one of his goons attack Hayley, almost killing her and…I told her that I know the feeling when someone you care for are in danger so…we left after that."
Star sighed and shook her head, "Well…I guess we won't have to worry about that little worm harassing anyone in the castle anymore, but Ludo is the first person she officially killed. I know she thinks she killed Alfonzo and Ferguson and their parents, but this is different and-"
"I know, honey, but she's been doing just fine with thinking she believed she killed Alfonzo, Ferguson and their parents, so killing someone who harasses your family, who almost caused Hayley to die…I don't think it'll bother her in the slightest," Marco took a deep breath before rubbed Star's back and Star leaned up against him.
Well…this installment of the series is over. I know I originally said this was going to be the final one, but halfway through this, I said I was going to have another installment. Enjoy.
