CHAPTER 3

Lilith reminds herself that spilling blood in front of her mother was, um, unladylike. And yet the urge to kill them is hard to ignore. That was before when she was currently in a private jet with her mother and the Varia members. Before that, she had packed her bags for their 'holiday' in Italy since yesterday night. She had unwillingly slept in and around at noon her mother had to wake her up to introduce the Varia members to her. After she shower and dress, she went downstairs to the living room. Where the guests had already arrive. She took a seat in front of them. "Lilith this is Squalo, Levi, Lussuria, Belphegor and Fran. They're the Varia" Her mother said, pointing and each one of them. One of them, Levi, gulps nervously. She merely smiles and bows her head respectfully. "Nice to meet you all. My name is Lilith" Tristiatina beam at her daughter for her politeness. She, however, didn't notice the malice in her tone. "I'll go get the bags... No fighting now" Tristiatina warn at the males and went upstairs. Now that she is out of ear shot, Lilith makes herself comfortable by leaning on the sofa and places her crossed leg on the coffee table. She let out a yawn. "Um..." No one knows really what to say. With Tristiatina gone, no can predict what Lilith would do.

"Mum said no fighting so I won't kill you scums. For now" She narrows her eyes angrily. "If anyone of you tries to make a funny move, I will blast your head off in second flat... Just because my mother is here doesn't mean you are safe" The Blondie, Belphegor, smile his strange smile. "Ushishishishi... We wouldn't dare to hurt your mother. Not unless we got a death wish..." Her mother descends downstairs with 2 luggages which Levi and Squalo quickly take it from there. The hours passed by in a blur. A fancy car and a private jet. Her mother had doze off but the rest of them didn't. The Varia males were too weary of Lilith, who was listening to her music with her headphones on. They known Tristiatina quite well, her moods, and the things she liked and so on. But Lilith, who is the exact carbon copy of their boss... Well, things will be double the trouble. As for Squalo, he wasn't sure how would the boss's daughter react with this. From what Tristiatina told them, Lilith took the sudden news oddly calm. Like she knew it from the beginning. A fight could occur if they start 'talking' to each other.

Squalo is an excellent assassin and from the first glance, he could tell that Lilith is already a powerful mafia. Her age suited to control her flames. It's already obvious that she had her resolution and knows that anger spark her flames. She must have some kind of training ever since she was a kid. Handling her would be as tough as handling their wrathful boss. But yet... She's not exactly 100% like her father. Squalo didn't know what give him that idea, it just did. When they finally arrive in Italy, Lilith and her mother was standing face to face with a huge mansion. "... I never dream that I would return to this place again..." Tristiatina said, melancholically. "No time to dawdle! The boss is eager to see you two!" Lussuria beam happily at the two. Lilith said nothing. He's eager to see Mum... Lilith correct mentally. She didn't feel hurt or anything. All she want is to explore this new country that she never been before. Maybe I could sneak out if I was alone... Lilith hope. They enter the mansion and the Varia members lead them to their boss's office. Without a knock, Squalo enter first. "Voi! We got them boss!" He exclaim. A well built, dark haired man wearing a formal suit without the jacket, which was flung carelessly over the back of his chair. Burn scars adorned his otherwise unmarred face and hands. His blood red eyes seem to grow less angry at the sight of Tristiatina and Lilith. There's no mistaken it. They share the same features, minus the scars on his face and hands. "Take Lilith somewhere... You stay Tristiatina..." He command, his voice was deep and strong. Lilith did not move; she studies her mother face. I'll be fine... I'll meet you shortly... She mouthed the word. Lilith reluctantly leaves the office and her mother with the idiots behind her.

"Why did you order them to take Lilith away?" Tristiatina question the man, worry. Not about her. Worry for her daughter. "To talk to you privately..." Xanxus reply with a tinge of irritation. "Why did you leave me?" He asks, his voice had surprisingly turned soft. "So that I could keep my only daughter!" She snaps. "So she's more precious to you then your husband?" He question with a hinted of jealously. "I didn't carry you for 9 months now did I? Of course not, idiot" Tristiatina grumble. Tristiatina didn't realized that Xanxus had got off his chair and now stood in front of her; holding her hands. "You made me gone through hell Tia... Leaving me on that night. Don't think that I would let you leave again..." His eyes shine dangerously yet he was gently holding her hands. "What about Lilith? She just finds out that her parents are mafias... She needs time to sort this all out" Tristiatina admits. "Both of you will live here from now on... She will soon accept it" Xanxus said, determined. He was actually quite surprise that Lilith, his daughter, look a lot like him than he guessed. He will need to confirm that she has the wrath flame just like him...

Lilith couldn't possibly sneak out now. Her mother was alone with that man... The Varia's boss. So when his subordinates take her on the tour of the mansion, she silently took the offer. Throughout the tour guided by Fran, Lilith was mute. Her expression betrays no emotions. The males did not like this one bit. "What is Lilith-san thinking?" Fran finally blurt out, his tone emotionless as usual. The question took Lilith off guard, which she rolls her eyes. "I'm thinking why the hell you talk that way. It's so weird" She snaps. The Varia members was quite surprise that she didn't call Fran trash or scum. Lilith ignores them and turns around. "A-Ah wait! Where are you going!" Levi asks, franticly. "Out," She simply replies. "I'm getting sick of staying here..." Squalo immediately stop in front of her, his hands were wide. "... What do you think you're doing...?" She asks the shark dangerously. "Voi! The boss wouldn't like it if you go out own your own!" He yells. It was never her intention to go out from the start. She could fight them now since she's already bored but her mother would hear. Lilith thought for a while... If she can't fight them... Maybe she could tease them.

Lilith looks up at the silver hair man. He was scowling down at her. She duck under his arm and quickly ran away. "Voooiiiii! Get back here!" Squalo bellows. She ran up and down, left to right, in and out. The servants that she passed by all look at her strangely. They were frantically chasing after her, fearing that she may try to sneak out. Lilith didn't plan on doing that. Nope. She hides in an empty room and wait quietly. That's right. She's playing hide-and-seek. Normally, she wouldn't do something like this but once a while it could be fun. "Damn it! Where the hell did that girl go!" She heard Squalo yell from outside of the door. "Ushishishishishi... If the boss and his wife find out that we lose their daughter, they'll kill us for sure" Belphegor comment. "Now, now, let's stay optimistic!" Lussuria advises. "Maybe Lilith is playing hide-and-seek with us" "Let's spilt up!" And so, multiple sounds of footsteps went in different direction. Lilith sighs in spite of herself. She feels like a kid. Though this is the only thing she could think of to pass the time. She wanted to go out with her mother. She wanted to see the museums, the cities and so many more that this country had to offer. She still wasn't sure that she could tolerate enough to stay here for long with these idiots. Lilith let out an unexpected yawn; her eyelids suddenly feel heavy. I guess it wouldn't harm if I took a nap for a while. She crawls onto the bed, curl up and fall asleep as soon as her head hit the soft pillow.

Tristiatina exit the room to look for her daughter. In all her short stay in the Varia base before, she had never seen such a strange sight before. The Varia members were running all over the place, searching for something. "What are you guys doing?" She asks, finally. "... Nothing at all... Ushishishishi..." Bel fib calmly in the living room with Fran who was checking behind the TV. Tristiatina shook her head. "Where is Lilith? Xanxus want to see her..." Tristiatina said. Actually, she was afraid when Xanxus said he also wanted to talk to Lilith privately. But he promises her that he only wanted to talk. "Well...?" She presses. Both of them exchange uncomfortable glances. "Well you see Tristiatina-san... Lilith-san is –" Fran begin but was abruptly interrupt by Squalo storming in. "Voooiiiii! Have you guys found her yet! I couldn't find her anywhere!" He yells out in frustration. The Varia Prince curse under his breath while Fran simply stare emotionlessly at him. When Squalo realize that both of them remain strangely quiet, he finally notices Tristiatina was also in the room. Oh shit! "... Squalo... What do you mean you couldn't find my daughter...?" Tristiatina ask, she could feel her anger rising and they knew it. "V-Voi! Now listen here first –" The sounds of heavy footsteps echo the halls. It sounded like it was heading to the living room. It was none other than Xanxus himself. "What are you doing trash...?" He said with his hands folded across his chest.

Not waiting for an answer, he turns to his wife. "Where is she?" He asks, obviously asking for Lilith. "That's what I like to know too..." Tristiatina narrow her eyes at them. Squalo, Bel and Fran took a nervous gulp. Confused with her reply, he turns again to his subordinates. How the hell is Squalo suppose to answer them. Maybe he could explain the situation differently somehow then hopefully – "She's not outside! That much I can confirm!" Levi announce loudly for everyone to hear. Squalo facepalmed. "Ushishishishi... We're so dead now..." Bel chuckle. Shadows cover Xanxus's eyes. "... Are you telling me that you scums lost my daughter!" Xanxus said, pissed off. He immediately draws out his guns and point at them. Everyone flinched. Tristiatina notice the clock on wall, displaying the time. "I think I know where Lilith is..." She said. The tension in the air slowly starting to clear. "It's in the middle in the afternoon. Lilith is probably sleeping like she use to" Tristiatina explain, smiling. "Tch, tell her to see me when she wakes up..." Xanxus put down his guns and left the living room. The Varia members sigh in relieves as they watch their boss leaves. "That was a close call..." Fran mumble. "Really... Can't I depend on you all to watch over her for 5 minutes?" Tristiatina ask with heavy sarcasm. "It's not our fault dear! She suddenly took off running! We were worried if she went out on her own" Lussuria comes in, protest. Tristiatina raise an eyebrow. "Is that so? I'll help you guys look for her then... She might be in one of the rooms" And so they left looking for Lilith. Again.

Despite wearing nothing but a black tanktop and a pair of black jeans, Lilith didn't even feel the slightest chill in the world heavily veil by thick mist. That's a dream for you. She'd been walking aimlessly through the fog; seeing nothing and hearing nothing. She didn't bother calling out to anyone. There's not a soul in here anyway. A black glowing orb was floating towards her direction. It later reveals to be a black butterfly. It flutters around her head. Something feels... Off. Lilith opens her hand and the black butterfly immediately rested on her palm. For a tiny creature, it weight incredibly heavy. Lilith nearly fell on her knees due to sheer weight. The butterfly soon absorb into her hand. Lilith screams in pain. Her veins on the left hands suddenly turn into a deep black colour and it the entire left hands slowly starting to shape into a deep black colour claw. The dream shifted. Lilith feels very numb and tired. When she had succeeded in opening her blood red eyes, she was shock to find that her arms and legs were pinned against a wall with black colour spears. Needless to say that blood was all over the dungeon, including on her. She forces herself to turn her head to examine her left hand. There were as black as night and instead of fingers, there were replace with razor sharp claws with red tips. It throbs in pain again. Lilith bit her tongue, forcing herself to withstand the pain. The lights suddenly turn on one by one. Lilith had to blink a couple of time to adjust her eyes to the brightness. The lights reveal to her to show that she wasn't alone. 7 teens were also being pinned on the wall just like her. Their heads were down and blood splatter all over them. Possibly their blood. She couldn't think anything else as she unwilling close her eyes; her conscious slip away.

….I want to scream

In the dark and dark streets

The hide-and-seek always continue

The doll tied with a red string will kill me…

Since I don't know any hide and seek song, I decide to use this one instead though it really has nothing to do with the story itself =.=' It's call Hide-and-seek alone by Miku Hatsune.

A/N – Is this even allow to call a cliffhanger? Oh well… Later, I will reveal the purpose behind Lilith's dream. So how do you think about this chapter I dare ask?
