Chapter 20: I Love you Lilith

Authors note:

I see you have come back for another chapter of the harem anime owl house… thank you and I am sorry for the cringe. Hello everyone I hope you are enjoying the chapter and I want to say thank you for sticking with me to this point. Let me know what you think of my story on the reviews… please don't be a creep.

Looking into the mirror on her desk top, Lilith clawthorne wore a grin.

"Hey there Luca, fancy meeting you here." the witch shook her head, "no that's too corny."

"Luca, I've been thinking maybe we should grab a bite." she once again rejected the idea. "no that's too forward."

Lilith turned her back to the mirror and then twisted her body so that her face was in front of the mirror while the rest of her was seated away from it. "Luca sweetie, you look as beautiful as a cherub." Lilith frowned in disappointment. "yeah that's what will make him accept your love… you pedophile. Maybe it's best if I just forget about it."

Lilith pulled her hands down her face and groaned. "why does this have to be so hard. Back when I was a coven head I had plenty of suitors asking for my hand." but they weren't as special as luca, were they? Lilith thought.

The witch looked out her window to see the dead of night has fallen. "i've been up for way too long… I guess it's time for bed."

The witch took a few steps toward her bed when she heard a knock on her door.

"who could that be?" Lilith opened the door to reveal Luca, his hands behind his back, his eyes pointed downward, and his cheeks red. "what do you require Luca?"

"I-i can't sleep." he said, still not meeting lilith's gaze.

"If you wish I'll mix you a sleeping potion and that should knock you right out."

"It's just that I am having nightmares of the last couple months and just wanted to talk with someone… can I come in?"

Lilith gulped as her cheeks shone bright red. The witch coughed and covered her mouth with her fist. "Y-yes, you c-can luca… come on in." she said moving out of his way.

Luca nodded and slowly stepped into the witch's room. "wow, your room is so pretty… it's like a room that my mom had."

"oh uh, thank you luca." Lilith tried to keep her composure but she was beet red as Luca walked around her room. "so what do you want me to do to help you get to sleep?"

"my mom used to read me stories but that was when I was a little kid." Luca standing next to Lilith's queen bed and smiling at the sheets. "when I got older she used to let me lay in bed with her and she'd rub my back until I fell asleep… but I don't know if you'd be comfortable with that."

"Yes! I mean… I guess we can try it. Lay down." Lilith said trying to maintain her concentration.

Luca chuckled as he carefully placed himself in the witch's bed. "it's really comfy, I can feel my eyes grow heavier even now."

Lilith laughed nervously as the blood rushed to her head. She walked up to tristan layed down next to him. "Now uh, hold still." Lilith wrapped her shaky arms around Luca and began rubbing his back with her trembling fingers.

"That feels so good Lilith, you're really talented." Luca then moved closer to lilith and placing his arms around her as he buried his face into her shoulder.

A warm smile came on lilith's face as Luca got more cuddly with her. Now yours chance Lilith, tell him.

"Luca," Lilith started but froze. "I think your really great."

"uh thank you."

you're a coward Lilith clawthorne. The witch berated herself as Luca placed his head on top of lilith's shoulder his mouth close to her pointed ear.

"Lilith, I have something to tell you."

"Yes luca,"

"ever since I met you I've felt strange."

"is that so."

"I didn't understand what I was feeling until I saw you in danger at the comformitorium… then I knew exactly what it was."

"What was it Luca?"

"Lilith clawthorne I love you." Luca said the words that made him feel weird and his face was as red as lilith's.

Lilith meanwhile let out a quiet yelp as her heart raced. He said, he said he loved me. Her excitement was building and she had to stop herself from rubbing his back in fear of hurting him by being too rough.

"y-you mean it… you love me?" Lilith gulped when she said the L word. Can this really be happening.

"I know it's strange because of the age gap. But if you don't mind then neither do I." Luca looked up at Lilith and saw her face be blood red. "I-i made it weird I'm sorry I'll leave…" Luca began to rise from bed but before he left Lilith's grasp she pulled him into her body with her arms then she placed her lips on his.

They held their loving embracing for as long as they could, exchanging their love as their tongues entered each others mouths, lilith held luca by the back of his head and moaned as he ran his hand down her back.

Eventually they seperated a trail of saliva connecting them as their lips parted. Each was trying to take a breath.

"how was it?" Lilith asked through her pants.

"would you believe that was my first kiss?" Luca asked just as exhausted, he felt his body heat up.

"it won't be your last, I can tell you that."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

The two witches held onto eachother and fell asleep in each others arms as the lamp light went out and a quiet peace covered the house.

standing before two braziers of red fire a lithe feminine figured dressed in red and white robes looked into the flames.

"so you failed in the apprehension of the asmodean, you let the asmodean disrupt our training of female companions for Him, and most importantly you disobeyed my orders and didn't kill the girl and her mother and instead played with them. Is that correct" the woman said not turning back to the women bowed before her.

"My empress, you didn't specify when we needed to kill the girl and her mother just that we had too," esdeath said trembling before the woman.

"somantics… and odalia, you allowed the asmodean to escape when he was in your care… most disappointing considering you have requested my aid in finding your children after your husband ran away with them… makes me question your loyalty."

"please my empress, I am loyal, I would never betray lord luca, I love him more then my own parents."

The empress turned toward the witch and took a few steps down toward her. Once the empress was in front of odalia she placed her hand on her face. Looking her in eyes and savoring the fear in the witches eyes when she meet her masks souless eyes. "I believe you, for your failure you are to write luca one hundred love letters in one week."

"thank you my empress." odalia replied, tears in her eyes.

The empress turned her back to her champions. "because of all your mistakes, I have lost the confidence of the citizens of boiling isles and thus the day of unity will be on hold until I can regain their trust. Dismissed!"

"but my empress, it's not our fault." esdeath spoke up her arm in a caste and her leg in a splint.

"oh and whose fault is it then, esdeath?"

"I know that the boy is in the care of edalyn clawthorne… she was the one who helped the girls escape and is now harboring the asmodean and his sister… we should form a full frontal assualt at her house."

Empress raised her hand. "do you think I'm a fool?"

"w-what? Of course not my empress."

"do you think that I would not know that edalyn clawthorne, my closest friend, has a disdain for me and that if she found luca she wouldn't take him in."

"w-what are saying my empress."

"I know luca is with the owl lady, I've always known."

"But if you knew then why have us search for him, why the wanted posters."

"I had to keep up appearances for the people so that they believe I am looking for him when in reality he is already in my clutches."

"But what if eda won't hand him over? You said it yourself, she has a disdain for you?."

"edalyn will do what is best for her, and I have just the thing to make her hand Luca over all I have to do is a little experimenting. Now leave me!"

"yes my empress!" the champions said in unison rise and walked away.

Once the champions were the empress went to her throne room and reached into a secret compartment. She found a framed picture. On it was a luca when he was fifteen holding the hand of girl of 11 and behind him was a woman in a nurses outfit. Both the womens face were burned out and the paper had singe marks.

The empress caressed the face of luca on the picture. "Soon luca, we will be… reunited." the fire inside the braziers flashed out as the entire room was shrouded in oppressing darkness and the only light came from the yellow light in the empress eyes. "then we will never be seperated again… I promise, mi luz."
