Chapter 17 - Light Creates Shadows

Openning the door Lillith saw a package on the door step. "How odd" the label read to Lillith "i didn't order anything and it doesn't say who it's from". she picked up the strange box and carried it to the kitchen fetching a knife to cut open the tape. carefully opening the box she peaked and and her face contorted into horror. she could clearly see a dead fox head in the box. trembling and feeling as if she was going to puke she covered her mouth and backed up in to the sink.

standing there shaking tears welled up in her eyes. There was note on the box her shaking hand reached out to grab it. Opening the letter she could see the words "I'm coming for you" scrawled out on to it. Fear ran up her spine seeing those words and she fell to the ground as she trembled. Luka had entered the kitchen to see Lillith in a panic.

He saw the box on the table and looked to see what had her in such disarray. seeing the fox head he glared taking the note from her and ignored her protests as he read it and fury bubbled up through him as he crumbled the paper up and stormed out the door. He knew the handwriting pattern he knew it was her. he took the love letter given to him and the threat note out and marched his way to Stellar, who was standing with a group of friends laughing and giggling.

Luka approached her angrily and grabbed her by the collar as she squeaked in surprise. "L-Lukanis? w -why do you look so angry?" she stammered "you know why care to explain this?" he held up the threat and glared at her "t-that's not mine"-"oh really? because I think it is it matches you handing writing on your love letter" she gasped and he pulled her close to his face.

"If you value your life you'll be smart and leave my Lillith alone" he let go of her letting her fall to the ground and grinned cruelly at her has he held up her letter. "by the way here's my answer to your proposal " taking out his lighter he began to burn the letter in front of her. "if I went to the dance it will be with her not a loser like you so stay away from her and me slut" dropping the ashes on to the shocked Stellar Luka walked away.

Lillith curled up on the floor of the kitchen as Luka left with the note and she began to heard the voice again. "my dear why must you deny me?"-"who are you?"-" isn't it obvious?" she stood up as the room began to twist and turn making her legs wobble as she stumbled through what felt like a dream. A mirror appeared in front of her and she peered at it.

A shadowy figure appeared in the mirror. She approached the mirror and placed her hand on it and the shadow began to change as her face had became it's face. "I am you" the copy of her said in a sinister voice Lillith backed away in horror "No! that's not true!" -"Oh but it is your father created me by adding what he thought was light but when you have light it also creates shadow and darkness in those little corners my dear" the copy grinned and stepped through the mirror.

She backed away as the copy approached slowly. "Get away from me"-"but I just want to help show your true potential my dear" the creature mimicking her started to grow in size getting taller and taller, its wings sprang out, its eyes glowing a purple hue, its teeth elongated and sharp. It held out its grotesque claw like hand to her, inviting her to take it.

She stared at the hand held out to her hesitating to take it. Lillith trembled at the sight of the creature. The creature frowned at her "No? well I guess I can not blame you I do not look trust worthy. Well in that case my dear I will stay by you for we are one and when you are ready just reach out your hand to me and call my name and I will give you the power you'll need." -"your name?" - "you'll know if you really think about it my dear" the beast grinned once more "you'll need me eventually like you did when poor ol Luka almost die you see the person that helped you then was me I defeated that bad mean vampire." the creature pulled it's hand back slowly as it began to fade "just remember what I have said my dear. I'll be waiting".

Lillith woke up to Lukanis shaking her awake. "Luka?"-"christ Lills you scared me I thought you were hurt. I came back to you lying on the kitchen floor" She looked up at him confused and sat up and saw the box was gone. "the box?"-"i threw it out we don't need that thing around so I buried the head and cleaned up the mess are you ok Lills?"-"i'm fine I just need to get some fresh air."-"alright let's go for a walk then". She nodded and he helped her stand up.

Walking through the woods near the campus Lillith and Luka talked and she giggled at his jokes. "ok ok here's one how do you make a water bed bouncy? "-"how?" -"you add spring water" Lillith wailed in laughter and Pilot landed on her shoulder as they continued to walk. She looked at pilot confused. "pilot seems heavier than before"-"well dragons do grow fairly quickly their years are different from ours."-"what about this flakey stuff on him?" she asked pointing at the white dead skin like object on the dragon." he's shedding as they grow they shed their scales horns and so on" she nodded gently pulling a piece off making sure she didn't hurt him.
