The Devil Wears Pink (Ben Hargreeves) [discontinued]

CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE RAVE

as lilith and klaus started looking for luther, klaus decided to bring up a "fun" memory

"the last rave we went to together was "winter wonderland"" klaus smiles as he recounts his childhood with lilith. lilith grimaces, remembering "ugh...don't fucking talk about winter wonderland, i still can't comprehend how a penguin and an orangutan managed to do the salsa"

"yeah...remember the unicorns?"

"klaus....there were no unicorns"

"maybe you were too high to see them?"

"klaus when you start seeing unicorns... it's pretty obvious which one of us was higher"

they both laugh at the memory

"i fucking hate raves..." lilith whispers to klaus who gives her a strange look "you? you were the rave queen when we were kids"

"yeah and look where it got me?" she gestures to herself, but klaus' strange look lingers "you're a millionaire"

"no, i'm a depressed alcoholic who's afraid of closure that's what i fucking am"

klaus is silent, he looks as if he's debating whether or not to tell her something, this has been a running theme lately, but as much as lilith wanted to know she wasn't about to let klaus get uncomfortable with her of all people

"can't believe we're looking for luther..."
"well he's our brother, we're entitled to this. besides, we're professionals at mental breakdowns. this is his first one, we need to save his ass before shit hits the fan."

klaus nods his head, but something in his eyes told lilith that something was definitely not right

"klaus i swear, don't lie to me. are you alright? and don't give me that "yeah i'm fine" bullshit because i know you're not" lilith states, glowering at him

klaus could feel the heaviness of lilith's stare, it was at that moment he decided that he had to get everything out of the way, he had to tell her before he leaves this life not telling his sister the truth before the world ended

"lilith... there's something i gotta tell you..." klaus begins, lilith stares at him, wanting him to continue

"that's the biggest hairy guy i have ever seen" lilith and klaus overhear two women across from them, cackling. klaus and lilith look at each other "it's gonna have to wait i guess..." lilith whispers

————————————————————

terrible techno music plays, lilith can't help but get a sende of deja vu at the scene before her, flashing of lights, neon colors and extremely high people

it hurts lilith's ears, her newfound superhearing was not her best friend at the moment, with all the music blaring around her

"yup this brings back memories" lilith yells out

"god this is torture..." klaus mutters to himself, lilith hears it and inches closer to him, putting an arm around him "don't lose me now, crazy"

"what?"

as the two look around some more in an attempt to find their brother, their eyes land on a familiar face, a man they could spot from miles away
