"Syn," Xavier called as I left my mother's room and walked down the hall. I turned to face him and he rubbed his palms together. "Your mother is really excited about this. She's always wanted a better relationship with you."
I nodded slowly at him and crossed my arms. "Just don't be...an ass. Okay?"
I clicked my tongue and turned on my heel to go to my room. Before I opened my door I heard footsteps and a person humming some sort of melody as they occasionally spoke to themselves. I listened again closely and immediately recognized the same voice from the one cussing in Queen's room days ago, and I burst through the door. I ran my hand through my hair as I looked at the empty room and shook my head.
"Shit," I muttered. Missed her again.
"Relax." My eyes snapped to the direction of the voice and I saw a woman sitting at the table.
"Why shouldn't I kill you right now?" I snapped as I took in the woman that had been taunting Queen. She had long black hair that hung in waves down her shoulders and shiny chocolate skin covered in a black mini dress. The room was dark though, not allowing me to view her entire face.
"You couldn't kill me," she said as she ran her finger over the table. "Turn the light on Syn, don't you want to see me?" I sighed as I walked toward the light and flipped it on. I turned to the woman again and recognition instantly passed through my eyes.
"Lilith?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Hello love, it's been a while."
I scrunched up my face in pure disgust as I looked at the woman standing in front of me. I hadn't seen her in over fifteen years and I had hoped I would never see her again, but life never works the way you want it to.
"Why are you so angry with me?" she pouted.
"Why the fuck are you here? I thought-"
"You thought I died, right? Everyone does because of the lies that Lucifer spews," she spat, "but unfortunately for you all, I'm very much alive and well."
From the stories I was told Lilith was Lucifer's soulmate and they were together for centuries before I was born. Wreaking havoc and destroying the world hand in hand until she left him. The night that she left was the same night that I was conceived. The tremendous amount of emotion needed to create me was brought out by the pain she caused my father.
A while after that night they got back together, but a few years later she cheated on him and left him for another man. I didn't know who it was, but apparently, he was worth giving up my father and me.
"But why are you here? You left us!" I spat. She caused my father tons of heartbreak and gave me fucked up abandonment issues because of her games.
She rolled her eyes and moved her hair behind her shoulders. "I left for a reason." She said.
