Chapter
18
At Adam's condo unit.
The seven spirits who followed him all through out the day. Continued to torment him even in his sleep.
There, he sat in a throne surrounded by them. Whilst he look at the smilling image of Urie. Standing infront of him wa Axel. They look quite well together. And inlove.
"Look at them," said deception. "You should have been the one who's standing there and not him. You are more worthy than that person. And he stole Urie from you."
Jealousy then started covering his eyes with its palm.
Adam then sees nothing but red. He imagined Axel bathing in his own blood while he carried a knife on one of his hand. That's when error started smilling creepily.
Urie stood there looking at him crying. But he just laughed and grabbed Urie by the hand. And started harrassing him.
As hard as Urie tried to free himself from Adam's grasp. The latter only gains more upperhand. He watched as Axel looked at him as he takes advantage of Urie's weakness.
The sister's laugh at the sight of Adam's content smile while sleeping.
"Who's there?" one of the sister's named klothod 'battle' asked. As they felt an overwhelming aura enter the room.
The other sister's started putting their guards up at an unknown foe.
But as soon as they saw lilibeth's clear image. They were taken aback.
"Tell us, what is the demon queen wanted with this human?"
Said the seventh who calls herself the worst of all sisters combined.
"Whoever gave you the right to ask a demon queen to tell you what her business should be?" Lilibeth's eyes lit a fiery gleam. Which made the sister's twitch in fear and almost dispost themselves.
"It is lucifer who-"
"Screw your master." her voice growled in the whole room. As she instantly cut Strife's words. "You need not to worry though. For I am not here to steal your precious prey." lilibeth started walking towards Adam's bed.
"Leave us be for now."
The sister's hesitated for a while. But they knew better than to test lilibeth's temper.
They quietly left the room. And left Adam at lilibeth's disposal.

Lilibeth sat on a chair facing Adam's bed. She just looked at his sleeping image for quite sometime. Then stood up and sat on the edge of the bed beside Adam.
She knew right before that something was strange about this man.
And it's not because of the sisters devouring him.
"Who exactly are you?" she asked closing in on Adam.
"Get away from me, woman." Adam suddenly uttered while his eyes was clearly shut.
"You're not just any human are you?" lilibeth started to withdraw.
"I am as human as any. For they all came from me. As God created me as the first man. And you, as the first woman before Eve." Adam then sat after opening his eyes.
"So, it is you," lilibeth took a step back upon realizing.
"Adam."

"I never thought I'd see you once more. After you left the garden of eden and pronounced God's name. Your name, became a cliche' even to the angels. Tell me," said Adam's conciousness. " What brings you here?"
"Isn't it funny how you let those demons take advantage of you like that?"
Adam let out a sad laugh.
"I am now unfavored as you are. I don't have the means nor powers to protect myself from your kind. And besides, I live in this body's unconciousness. Though I have the knowledge of the heavens. He himself has no knowledge of it like I do. So it is easier for him to be deceived."
"What a sad fate." Lilibeth said mockingly.
"Do you still hope that your God will forgive you?"
"I am not worthy of his forgiveness. But I am hoping for that day to come. So that all of my children and their children would be free from all these sufferings."
"Selfless and upright. It's a pity that you let Eve take you down with her."
"She is my other half. And she was taken from my limbs. That being said, her sin is my sin. And her fate, should be shouldered by me. For she came from me."
Lilibeth almost wanted to throw up.
"That's the reason why I never liked you."
For the first time, in many years. Adam had actually experienced how to laugh.
"If you ever need my help later on. Feel free to ask my demons. That's the last thing I can do for an old acquiantance."
"You mean, your ex-husband as what humans call them?" he even tried teasing lilibeth.
"You wish. And to set the record straight. You were never my type."
"And who is your type?"
"Someone with a bad-boy image." lilibeth snapped a finger and Adam fell into deep slumber once more.
"It's nice to see you again, my dear ex-husband." she left with a smile written all over her beautiful face.
