As I walked back to Murdocs chambers I caught Dominique on her way to Murdoc. "Dominique?" I said stopping her in her tracks, She turned around and looked at me "yes?" she asked surprised. "Who was that girl?" I asked as she sighed, "Her name is heather and do you think you can possibly be somewhat nice to her?" I frowned, I asked for an answer not a comment. She turned around and walked into Murdocs chamber, I simply turned around and walked to the cathedral entrance. I was putting on my jacket until I saw a shadow in front of me. I turned around as the leather of my jacket lightly squeaked. "Yes?" I asked seeing heather stand there. "Where are you going?" she asked as I opened the cold solid door. "Out to the city why?" I looked back as I pulled the hood over my head. "I was wondering if I could tag along, I'm not used to this" she asked seeing I was dressed in leather. I looked at her, "don't get in my way" I said as I walked out into the snow. She slowly followed behind me as it snowed more and more with every footstep we made. I looked back at her when we met the edge of the forest "are you sure you want to follow me?" I asked. She slowly nodded and smiled as she followed me into the forest. "Stay close" I said as we traveled deeper into the forest. I was almost about to stop for the time until a creature leapt onto me from above. I revealed my fangs as I fought it off of myself. I stood slowly as I brushed the snow off of myself. The creature looked at me, "Lilyth?" it looked at me. "Tyler you idiot!" I yelled as he laughed. He glanced over to heather "Who's your friend?" he asked as heather waved. "Fresh off the streets, too bad Murdoc got to her first" I answered as I walked away from him. Heather trailed behind as Tyler shrugged "alright I'll see you later" he said as he jumped back into the tree's. "Who was that?" heather asked me like I would give her a straight answer. "He's the weed in a patch of onions" I answered trying to confuse her. She looked a little confused as she walked behind me. We saw the lights at the edge of the forest as I led her into the city. The humans looked at us like we were of their species. I walked into a nearby alleyway as heather questionably followed me. I knew exactly where I was taking her. I walked up to a nearby door and turned to heather "are you ready?" I asked. She looked bored as she stared back at me "yeah c'mon!" she said. I pushed open the door as I quickly pulled her in. I looked around at the environment, people mindlessly pushing and jumping into others as the filthy humans on stage entertained them with guitar's, drums, and microphones. I watched them play from the back of the warehouse, I loved coming here although I was disappointed with the humans for this building. This is where my home once stood, when Morgan was still amongst the living. I looked up at the band playing, the front man screamed violently into the microphone. It's almost as if I could feel his angst through his lyrics and voice. He sang of an unnamed light and long awaited answers, he also sang of finally realizing that you are not what you used to be. I really should figure out when they are playing again. I haven't visited here often though I am driven here, and maybe I can get heather away from me. She was off in the crowd somewhere, for all I know she's probably mangled and bloody on the floor somewhere. I realized someone staring at me, I growled as he walked over to me. A human hmm? His fishnet sleeve dangled over his hand as he leaned against the wall near me. "Hello" he said as I thought, I was starting to get hungry, very hungry. This pitiful excuse for a human just put himself in my view for a meal. I smirked at him noticing it was finally night, I pulled off my hood revealing my face as I made my way back into the alleyway. He followed me, smiling and licking his lips. I don't know what he expects he is going to get from me although I am sure I will end it quickly for him. I pushed the door open as my boots plowed a path in the snow. He shut the door behind us as he pushed me up against the wall. I frowned as I bit into his hand, "stupid bitch!" he yelled attempting to pull his hand back. I bit through his hand as I wrapped my hand around his scrawny neck as I let my claws out. I honestly think that I had merged with the demon that died the day I did. I let go of his hand as I raised him up the wall, I ran my claw around his throat deeply cutting a gash. I finished the rest as I drained the blood, it felt so good to finally feed off the blood of humans once again. He wanted to scream as he wrapped his hands around my arm and with whatever strength he had left squeezed. It clearly wasn't enough as I took one last drink of blood before he died. I wiped the blood from my mouth as I dropped his lifeless body into the snow as I walked back into the warehouse. Heather walked back over to me as her eyes seemed to question me. "I got a little hungry" I told her as we left the building. She didn't even notice the body lying in the snow, she was already starting to loose her human emotions. She ran ahead of me into the forest as I slowly trailed my way through the snow. It wasn't long before I caught up to her, she stood there in shock as she backed up towards me. There stood one of the shadow beings, although night is when it's true form can be seen. The shadows were really demons, it's singed red skin went along with it's large horns which curled backwards. The horrifying creature's mouth dripped with blood as we saw a body laying in a pile of red snow. Heather made her way over to the snow until the demon abruptly flung her into the air with one clean blow. I stood there staring at the hideous piece of shit that calls itself a demon. It looked down at me as it walked up to me and raised it's arm. It lunged it's arm down at me as I spread my wings and flew out of the way. I flew onto it's back as I let out my claws and pushed them far into it's back. It let out a roar louder than thunder itself as I pushed my hand farther into it's back it roared in pain. It fell to the ground as I pulled my hand out and stood up. I looked down at it, I spit onto it's face and Heather called me over while I walked over to her. "I'm taking him back to the cathedral" she said picking the body up. I caught a glimpse of his bloody face as I smirked "that's a life not worth saving heather, don't waste your time" I said as she frowned at me. "Why do you hate Tyler so much Lilyth?" she asked me. "I hate everyone, I hate him because he's a fucking dick" I answered as I walked back into the city. She frowned again as she carried him back to the cathedral. As for me? Tyler is a dick I don't know why she is bothering to save his sorry ass. I walked through the city slowly as the humans pushed and shoved their way through each other. Each step I took on the icy ground seemed familiar to me as I made my way to the Oceanside. I kneeled down to the sand as I watched the glimmer of the skyline on the freezing ocean water. "Lilyth?" I heard a voice as I looked over to a human walking over to me. A small girl walked up toward me, her black loosened braid flailed in the cold wind. "Yes?" I answered as she stared down at me. "Lilyth!" she yelled as she flung her arms around me, I quickly picked the child up by the shirt "who are you?" I asked her. She stared at me wide eyed "you don't remember me?" she questioned as I put her down. I didn't understand why I couldn't kill her right then and there. Her eyes saddened as I stood up, "you may have known the Lilyth I once was but, she is dead now." She looked up at me "what about Morgan?" she said quietly. I turned to her, "Morgan… I'm not sure where Morgan is" I told her as I walked back up to the cathedral. By the time I was at the cathedral the sun began to rise, I met Murdoc outside of my room. "Lilyth was there a human in the cathedral" he asked me as I stood there. "Yeah although no one was seen by the human" I said as he smiled. "Someone almost was, a couple walked into the cathedral tonight" he said as I walked past him. "they are waiting in your room" he said when I finally made it to the door. I turned around "you let humans into my room!?" I said as I walked up to Murdoc. I swung my hand back as I felt my claws grow longer than they usually are. Before I could rip his fucking head off he disappeared in a puff of smoke. I left my claws out while I walked up to the cathedral. I walked into my room as I began to see a face, Miguel. Miguel looked back at me as I growled loudly, he just smiled "I like your drawings, very lovely but who is he?" he asked me. "Put my sketchbook down you bastard" I yelled as he set my sketchbook down on my coffin. He walked up to me as he spread his wings "is that how you want your sister to think of you as?" he said as he pointed to the little girl in the corner. It was the same girl I saw at the beach, "my sister?" I questioned "Morgan was the only sister I had" I said as he shook his head. "Lilyth I know your parents died but you have a sister" he told me as the child shivered in the corner. "Wouldn't you like to see them all again? Morgan, your parents, everyone?" he tried to bribe me as I clawed at his face "your faggot they're all dead don't bring this kid into my room and get the fuck away from me" I yelled. He frowned "I was afraid you'd say that, what if I said I wanted you to come with me" he said with a smirk. "That makes me want to kill you more now" I said while I swiped at him again. "Lilyth why do you hate the people who love you so much?" he asked as he wiped the blood from his face. "I already answered that! I hate everyone!" I answered as I knocked him onto the ground. I was about to kill the bastard before he disappeared. Good riddance the stupid bastard shouldn't have crossed paths with me. I turned to the scared child in the corner as I let my claws back. "Who's kid are you?" I asked the child, "y-you really aren't Lilyth anymore…you're a-a" the child stammered as I knelt down to her height and finished her sentence. "A vampire?" I said smiling, she nodded frightened that I'd kill her at any given moment. "I have no intention of killing you, you wouldn't even quench my thirst" I said to hopefully stop her whimpering. "So you and Assia have both changed" she said as she let her head down. I picked her arm up as I pulled her to her feet "go home now" I said as I gave her a light shove. She looked back at me as she started to cry "goodbye Lilyth" she said as she left my room. I picked up my sketchbook and flipped through the pages as I sighed. I didn't quite understand what was going on, so many things coming up all at once, heather, Miguel, I can't take it anymore. I flipped over pages back and forth wondering why I only drew Alex. I looked up slowly through the cathedral window in my room, "music?" I thought to myself. I walked from my room to see where and what the music was. "Lilyth!" an angry voice bellowed behind me, I turned around to see Tyler hurrying toward me as Heather tried to hold him back. "You were going to let me die!?" he yelled into my face, "what's the point of saving you anyway? Would you have rather the demon kill you or myself?" I asked him as I left the cathedral. I overheard them talking as I shut the cold iron door "what's up with Lilyth?" "I don't know it prolly Miguel" "Miguel? Oh! The angel." They fucking piss me off, I walked away from the cathedral as the music grew louder. I continued walking until I came upon an abandoned mansion, "but this is?" I ran inside. The floor loudly creaked as I ran up the broken stairs, the splintered door swung open as I walked into the room. Another colony of vampires lived here, I knew they lived here the only problem was there was the stench of humans in the room. I searched around until I saw him in the back, Alex I wasn't sure but I had a feeling it was him. I didn't understand why he was playing with Josh and his band, and why josh even had a band. Josh wasn't one you'd expect to see a vampire. He had short black hair that really showed his pale complexion, when he does shows he dresses differently than usual though. I spotted Deanna toward the back, frowning, slowly watching josh on stage. The only thing Deanna hated more than her past life was Josh, I never understood why she did. Watching them from the side of the room as the walls echoed with the mournful sound of death. Murdoc was watching from the opposite side of the room as Dominique lured one of the humans out of the room, she looked kind of hungry anyway. I sat on the cold wood floor as some of the other vampires stood to dance. Their bodies slowly twisted, completely off rhythm of the music. Day slowly moved into night as the vampires one by one lied down on the cold wood floors and slept. The band stopped as the humans panted heavily from their non stop entertainment to the dead. Josh descended from the front of the room as he walked over to me, "and what brings the evcoid over here?" he asked leaning on a nearby wall. Evcoid was our group name, Murdoc made up the name. He says it's a shortened version of what represents us and what we are, shortened? A load of shit to trick us into keeping a nickname he chose. "I just followed the music" I told him as he looked down. "What's in the book Lilyth?" he asked as I looked down, I forgot to leave my sketchbook in my chambers. I handed him my sketchbook as he held it up and searched through the pages, "wow Lilyth I didn't know you could do anything like this" he said as he walked over to Alex. I watched as he showed the paintings to Alex Josh turned back to me as I frowned. My boots clicked as the floor creaked below me while I walked from the room. I pulled my jacket off of myself as it trailed a path in the snow, slowly I trudged through the snow. Dominique followed behind me, "are you alright Lilyth?" she asked concerned. "Yeah I'm fan fucking tastic" I answered wondering why she's all of a sudden concerned. "Murdoc didn't do anything did he?" she asked as she walked alongside me. "Why?" I asked as I turned around, my jacket flinging snow everywhere. "I'm not sure why Lilyth, I want to let go of Murdoc but I'm not sure how" she said as she let her head down as her hair fell into her face. "What do you mean?" I asked when really I wanted to say "just open your hands and walk away from Murdoc, there you go." She looked up "I don't love Murdoc anymore!" she yelled at me violently. "Who do you "love" then?" I asked, really I didn't care but if I didn't ask right away I'd hear about it tomorrow morning. "Tyler" she quietly answered, I watched her disgusted. I left her in the snow as I trailed my way back to the cathedral, on my way thoughts kept appearing in my head. I don't know why but I kept thinking about josh, like where he came from, how he knew Alex, and how I know him so well. I walked down those empty stairs to my room, my dress trailing slowly behind me. I stared down until I ran into something, I looked up to see my sketchbook in my face. The sketchbook slowly moved from my face to reveal the person holding it, Josh. He stood in front of me laughing, "surprise" he said smiling. I've known josh ever since I was dragged here by Murdoc, I took my sketchbook back from him as I set it down on my coffin. I turned around "why aren't you still in show wear?" I asked getting a good look at him. He stood in ripped jeans that dragged along the back of your feet while you walk, along with his ripped shirt with some label that's so faded you can't read it anymore. "Hello? Lilyth?" he asked while I examined his gestures, "oh I'm sorry were you talking to me?" I said as I walked over to the cathedral window. "You alright?" he asked seeing I was quieter than usual, "I just have a lot on my mind" I told him as he hummed a song behind me. I don't know why, he annoyed me so much I just couldn't find myself to hate him really. "Thinking about Morgan?" he questioned walking behind me. "Yes, the dreams are more and more detailed every night" I answered looking over to him. He leaned against the window sill, his black hair fell into his face as it shone in the sunlight. I turned my head back to the scenery outside of the cathedral. He stood up straight as he began to walk out of my room, "thanks for talking to me Lilyth" he said behind me. "I'm not sure about what to do about those dreams of yours but maybe you need to settle something, maybe those dreams are saying something" those words poured off of his tongue as he left my room. I picked up my sketchbook as I thought, maybe he's right though is Morgan trying to tell me something? I set my sketchbook down on the floor as I lied down in my coffin. I sighed as I awaited my continuous nightmare to haunt another night of sleep. I awoke from the same dream, apparently I awoke too soon when I arose from my coffin the sun still shined. I pulled my hood over my head as I made my way up the stairs. I walked from the staircase leading from my room into the main hall. I walked up the main hall until I heard a voice "it's you again!" I turned around to find Alex standing behind me. "I told you not to come here!" I yelled angrily when really I was glad to see his face again. "I'm sorry, Josh told me that this is where you live" he said as he walked closer to me. He held his hand out to me "I'm Alex in case you forgot" he said smiling. How can I forget him, I drew him enough, I knew this was stupid to tell him "I'm Lilyth" I answered taking his hand. I could see he couldn't tell what I looked like under my hood though he kept normal. "Why are you always here?" he asked me "I live here" I answered him. Before he could answer Murdoc angrily jumped out from behind a pillar. "A human? Lilyth interfering with a human! You've sunk low this time Lilyth" he angrily said as he walked toward me. He came up to my face as I growled at him. "Move" he said frowning down at me, I stood in front of Alex as he frowned down at me. Alex stood behind me not knowing what is going on, although he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Murdoc kept glaring at me to move, I wasn't going anywhere. I knew what they did to humans they found in the cathedral, and I was sure that wasn't going to be Alex's fate. Before I could do anything Murdoc quickly rushed behind me and grabbed Alex by the throat. "You're the human in josh's band aren't you?" Murdoc asked choking Alex. Alex didn't answer, Murdoc became frustrated as he squeezed his hand herder around Alex's neck. Knowing I couldn't let Alex die I quickly and abruptly kneed Murdoc in the stomach. He dropped Alex as he fell to the floor. I grabbed Alex's hand as I flew out one of the cathedral windows and out to the Cliffside. Dominique came up behind Murdoc, "should I go after them?" she asked. Murdoc nodded "you should know where they are headed" he said as Dominique made her way out the door only to be stopped by heather. Heather frowned at Dominique as she pushed Dominique. "Leave Tyler alone" she said as Dominique regained her balance. Dominique stood up "I have no time to argue right now" she said to heather. "You need to make time!" heather yelled back as she tackled Dominique to the ground. Dominique stood up after pushing heather off of her. "We'll finish this later" she said while she jumped into the air. Torn ribbon appeared below her feet as she flew higher walking inch by inch on the ribbon as it disappeared behind her. Dominique flew into the trees leading to the Cliffside as she trailed her way up to the edge. I sat there watching Alex regain his breath, "are you alright?" I asked in my usual tone of voice. "Yeah, thanks" he said back still wondering who I was. "Alex, you really shouldn't come here" I said standing up. "Although for the meantime I'll stay with you, apparently you're their main target at the moment?" I said as I walked toward him. "Where do you live?" I asked him as he stared at me. "I live with Josh, my house was burned down after some girl and her friend died" he answered me. "LILYTH!" I heard Morgan's voice scream my name, in the same tone she screamed when she died. "Did you happen to know who those girls were?" I asked curious to if he knew anything of my past. His eyes glowed in the sunset as he thought. "No I can't remember them" he answered. I sat on a nearby rock as I watched the breeze blow through his black hair. I tried to focus on whether someone was coming more than him, I couldn't do it. In a flash of sunlight Dominique appeared in front of Alex as she pulled out from her dress a simple dagger. I noticed what she was doing as she lunged her dagger toward his chest. I flew over to Alex quickly hoping I could somehow block Dominique. Instead I stood in front of him, I could feel the dagger pierce through my skin. I saw the anger in Dominique's eyes as she pushed the dagger further into my torso. She pulled the dagger back out as I let my claws out and rammed them through her chest. I picked Alex up and threw him into the forest "Run to the bottom of the cliff!" I yelled. "I'll meet you there" he yelled back, I had a feeling the only reason he yelled that was to keep me alive. Too late Alex I already died once, although I am still somewhat human. I can die again and again though this is my last chance to live the afterlife. Dominique dashed toward him with her dagger in hand, Before she came within three feet of him I knocked her backwards toward the cliff's edge. I looked at my bleeding arm as I walked toward her, I kneeled down as I checked to see if she was alright. Before I could do anything she rammed her dagger though my neck as she pulled the dagger down to my chest. I cringed a bit although I pulled her dagger from my chest. I just now figured out about this dagger, the only weapon that kills both the dead and the undead. I knew I was going to die as I rammed the dagger through her chest keeping her on the ground. I left her there as I walked to the Cliffside. All I remember after that was passing out off of the Cliffside.
