Chapter 6 - Door 50

Each room they passed was closed, but she could still get an idea of what was happening just from the sounds coming from the rooms. The long corridor was never ending, they continued forward until they stopped at door 50. They handed her the key before going back the way that they came.

She walked in and found her roommate, who was on her bed with her legs crossed and eyes shut, the latter opened when Yima stepped fully into the room and locked the door behind her.

The girl's side of the room had a painting of Lebi, the smallest Island. The whole room wore a mauve color.

"Hi, I'm Yima." Her voice sounded forced, her roommate didn't seem to notice as she smiled and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you, I'm Lilith but you can call me Lily." She had one of those rough voices that scratched the right side of your brain when you heard them.

"It's a breath of fresh air to finally meet someone from Lebi, is it true that you never sin?" Yima had heard many stories concerning Lebis, most people say they are angels sent to purify this wicked world.

"A true Lebi never tells," Lilith dramatically whispered, Yima was crushed. She wondered why she even thought that Lilith would be willing to tell her everything just because she asked.

"So, where are you from?" Lilith asked.

"Likanu," Yima replied once she was seated, "and it isn't as bad as people like to make it." She added. Lianuians were viewed as people who lacked everything from food to water and even clothing.

"I can't take your word for it, besides everyone says otherwise."

"They are all wrong. I've lived there my whole life and I've never seen anyone die from hunger." Lilith didn't believe her.

"Where are your stuff?" Lilith asked to change the subject.

Yima glared at her as she answered, "This has nothing to do with where I'm from, I left everything back home." It was partly true. The pirates only gave her the ring and sent her on her way.

"Or maybe you never had any, don't worry I have enough for the both of us." Yima was both irritated and grateful.

"What's that?" Yima pointed to the cage on top of Lilith's wooden wardrobe, it was covered with a soft blanket.

"My pet yonio, his name is Hades."

Lilith closed her eyes once more, ending the conversation. Yima moved to the door in shock, she hoped that Lilith wasn't being serious.

Her heart skipped a beat causing her breathing to become excruciatingly slow. A shiver ran through her whole body leaving her shaken and trembling. Her skin crawled and she pushed further into the door. She frantically searched for the keys but couldn't find them. "Lilith, throw the keys," her voice was wobbly.
