" Next time you feel the need to stab me , make sure you actually kill me. Here is your dagger." he said , pushing the bloody thing to her face. Lilith snatched it out of his hand and held it tight , her eyes still searching his. Although he was a magical, he still had human emotions and feelings that were readable through his eyes ; but there was nothing there. It was as if she didn't just kill him a few hours ago. " I-I stabbed you in the throat-"
" Yes , you did. But you didn't kill me. I healed myself." he said . She blinked. " Well , how did you know where to find me?" A wry smile came to his face . " Isn't it so very obvious? I could smell my own blood from miles away. I have to admit though , you did do a wonderful job of ridding the magical folk of half their population ."
Lilith looked at the dagger. It was clean ; the brilliance of the moon glinted off the jewels encrusted into the hilt. " I do it for Olive." The man's eyes where still intent on her and she had to look away. " Olive.... Oh you mean the murdering red head with the horrible temper-" Before he could finish , Lilith's fist had slammed into his mouth , the sharp edges of his teeth cutting the skin on her knuckles. The sound of him coughing up his own teeth calmed her ; her chest was rising and falling with angry breaths. " Don't call her a murdering red head. She has a reason for what she does , as do I." The man looked up at her , his bloody mouth smiling up at her. He spit up a blood covered tooth and smiled , pointing a long nailed finger at her. " Lilith , you don't know why she does it. You don't know why you do it. You just know that there has to be something done , or you'll start to feel helpless. To them , you are just a servant. Stop taking your anger out on the wrong people." Lilith held the bloody dagger in her hand , ready to stab him in the throat again. " I know why I do it," she said , standing over him. " I do it because my mother is missing and I know who took her. With your little magical tricks you lured her away. As glad as I am that I don't have to see her suffer here , I would still like to know where she is." A smile came to her face and she crouched and wiped the blood away from his face with her bare hand. An idea struck her. " What is your name?" He looked up to hear with curiosity , wondering why she was so calm all of a sudden. " Griffon," he said slowly , his half closed eyes watching her. " Well Griffon , you've lost a lot of blood . " Lilith was smiling now , a smile filled with malice with an edge of pity. He nodded and looked down at his blood soaked chest. His eye rolled back in his head and the only thing he remembered was the soft thud of his head against the dirt.
Lilith was tired. Her eyelids felt heavy and her shoulder's drooped as she dragged Griffon from the wash tub and tucked him in. His teeth had already grown back into his skull and his wounds where healed. Lilith was fascinated at how he could heal himself. Despite the plunge of her dagger through his throat , he healed himself ; he could still speak. No matter how much he had bled , he didn't shrivel up and die , he just went into a deep sleep. Sleep. It was something she wanted so bad , but the sun was already rising , and she was to report to her duty as soon as the first morning rays appeared. "Damn it all ," she said , yawning. She laid back onto the balled up comforter that served as a pillow and let her heavy eyelids rest just for a moment. " Just for ten more minutes," she sighed , drifting off into the deepest sleep she had ever had. As soon as she under the surface , the crying woman had her. It was her mother. Her glowing eyes ; the crying. She missed her mother now more than ever ; she could feel the loss deep in her bones no matter if it was just a dream. Come to me Lilith. Come to me my child. Her cries resonated throughout Lilith's mind , echoing off the walls of her skull. The girl's arm lifted in her sleep , tears fell from her closed eyes. I'm here mama. Where are you? Eve smiled. Not far sweetheart. Not far. We'll meet sooner than later. I promise you that....
