The one who tried to kill her again was the one chasing her. Cordelia suddenly strikes at the creature as it quickly dodges the attack. Cordelia strikes again, but this time, the blow lands precisely landing at one of the creatures horn, and the creature fell unconcious .The creature that chased Lilith and attacked her now had a weird appearance with black horns piercing out of his skull, his skin a color of crimson red, and his voice sinister. Cordelia, without letting the creature escape, she swiftly catches it and ties it to a nearby chair. As she was done, she checked on Lilith, who was standing in a corner horrified and dazed. Cordelia reached out to her hand as she shaped it away. After she came back to sense and noticed what she did, she quickly started to apologize and went towards the creature that was all tied up with a blood pouring from his mouth from all the beating.
Cordelia cautiously approached the creature with Lilith behind her back using Cordelia as a shield. "What is your business? Who sent you here?" she interrogated with anger visible in her tone.
The creature snickered and responded, " And why should I tell the likes of you? What is my motive?" the terrifying creature responded. Cordelia enraged and punched the creature once again.
Completely beaten and blood sputtering outta his mouth, the creature that was acting all high and mighty was now begging her for mercy. "Stop, I'll tell. I'll tell you everything I know. Please stop, please, " the creature pleaded with swollen cheeks. Cordelia stops beating him, eager to listen to his tale. " My master told me to kill her and her family." he explained. "WHY HER??" she said, enraged again, raising her hand to punch him. " He told me that a girl with silver hair and hazel eyes us the one I should kill her. I don't know anything else, I swear, " he said in his defense.
Lilith stopped Cordelia and went towards the creature. "Who is your Master?" she asked the creature, to which he responded. " Master Asmodeus". Cordelia's pupil shrank as she heard that name. "Cordelia ? Hey .... Hello Earth to Cordelia?" Lilith tried to get her attention. " Huh!? Hmm, y... ye.. yeah, " she stuttered. "What's wrong? Why are you so terrified?" she asked innocently. "That's the name of our current king. But why would he want to kill you of all people? What did you do? Did you even meet him?" she asked, confused and panicking. Lilith tried to calm her, and in the meantime, the creature had fled the scene and was nowhere to be found in sight.
With a sudden thud, the front door burged open, revealing two guys and one girl clinging to one of the guy's arms. The three hurriedly rushed in and bent towards Cordelia. She was trying to stand but fell everything she tried. She tried to stand up once more but instead fell forward, but one of the men caught her right in time. She looked up to see a handsome boy l with beautiful emerald eyes and brunet hair staring down at her with concerned eyes."j..ja.. Jake," she said, stuttering. "Shush, I'm here," he consoled.
Lilith she looked away from Cordelia, who was now in Jake's embrace. She looked up to see the guy with golden eyes and the girl with dark eyes glaring at her. Scared, she shrank back to a corner. The boy and the girl went to Cordelia's side. Lilith took her chance to run away as she was about to go out the door. The guy with golden eyes held her hand and brought her back to Jake, who was now carrying Cordelia in her arms.
Jake took Cordelia to her room and played her in bed. As he did that, he confronted the strange girl. As he moved forward, Cordelia caught his hand to hold him from approaching her. As she did, Jake looked at her with concerned eyes. "WHY ? You're hurt because of her! Let me end her. " he looked at her with rage visible in his eyes. Cordelia stopped him and explained to them the whole situation, and they were all even more mad at her than before. First, she entered their house without permission, and now, because of her, their friend got hurt. "Guys, I'm fine. Really, she is the one who hurt. I was just a little shaken up, " she said, reassuring them. They all looked at Lilith. Nearly her entire body was covered in bandages and her bones visible as that of a dead man's.
After everything got delt with and Cordelia went back to normal, she got up and went to her trembling in a corner with her torn clothes. Cordelia extending her guided her to her bed. Lilith sat at her bed nervously as Cordelia asked her " Hey sorry for reacting that way it's just that you should never make our lord (king) your enemy and it's just that I was wondering what did you do to make him want to kill you?"
After some silence, she responded,"I..d..on...don't even know him what could I have done to make him angry. "Hmm" was the only response that came out of their mouth. Cordelia tucked her in bed and said, " You should sleep first. we'll talk about it in the morning. Okay!?" Lilith nodded and closed her eyes as all of them exited her room.
After they all left her room, they gathered in the dining room. Cordelia helped the other girl to dish out the rest of the Japanese curry Lilith had made. They all ate as cordelia further told them about their conversation and the whole thing they went through. "Hmm, but she can't stay here. We have to do something to make her leave," said the gentleman with golden eyes. Cordelia protested and suggested we should keep her here and pleaded that they should get her enrolled in their school. To which the others rejected several times, but due to Cordelia's insistence, they agreed. "OKay okay fine I'll enroll her, but on one condition," jake said with a dominant tone, "What? " she asked, annoyed by this sudden condition. "You are going to finish your assignment that was due today. You got that!?" he said, making a deal with her, to which she agreed and rushed to her room to get her bag and finished it while the others were eating their food.
"Yumm, who made this curry? Was it that girl? the girl asked while munching away. " Yeah, delicious, is it not ?" Cordelia asked. "Yeah, and the rice are cooked to perfection, and the crispy chicken she made is even more delicious" the girl responded.
"I am done with the assignment now can she come with us?"she asked excitedly to which Jake nodded. She started jumping around like a child to which the group chuckled and they all went to their respective tasks.
