Humanity

Yeah, don't fall for it. Don't push him away, but don't return his hug either , I told myself in my head.

"I know what you are, Lilit," he whispered softly in my ear and clouded me with his soft voice. “I know your secret. It's important that you don't tell anyone. "

What? What was he talking about?

He broke away from me. Just as I was about to inquire, the flames returned in the barrel and the three women were still looking at me expectantly. Did they see that?

The devil leaned over and put his lips on mine. It seemed only a single second before he let go of me. Was that the exam? Did I pass it? But the last time the devil wasn't alone with me. Something didn't seem right here. Why did I only notice this detail?

Lucifer again moved a considerable distance and nodded satisfied. “Your job will be to find a demon for me. An extremely powerful creature. "

"I'm unique in searching!" Shouted Verona, but was immediately punished for her interruption with Satan's stubborn gaze. Her lips narrowed as she was ashamed of her behavior.

“Sorry, sir, but I was and still am your right hand. So who should be as strong as me? ”Letaya, or Legion, asked. Man, at some point I have to choose a perspective .

Satan twisted the corners of his mouth in a crooked smile. "Belial."

Letaya inhaled sharply. "I beg your pardon, but it was said that Belial had conspired to the human world."

Satan nodded. “Father has a hand in everything and I want him to stay out of my business. Why Belial chose humanity is unclear, but God will probably have something to do with it. It makes me angry enough that he's still trying to protect his God's children. But my spies and henchmen are scattered all over the world. He won't be able to save all lives. "

“Do we have any stops? Where was he last seen? 'Elisabeth asked all the facts.

"In a bar in London." Satan reaches into the fire with his hand and takes out a piece of paper which he gives Verona. “There you'll find another vampire named Frederick. He lives in a basement. "

I see Elisabeth grin for the first time today. She was a special vampire because she didn't mind the daylight. Satan must have manipulated the blood in the bathtub back then, because since then it has only suffered damage from silver and symbolic crosses.

“When you are with him, you can go about your plan as you please. I just don't want Father to get wind of it. ”With these words he disappeared from our eyes and we looked at each other in silence.

"Let's go!" Verona shouted first and headed purposefully to the exit.

"Wait, Verona," muttered the countess, and the witch stopped short. She turned to us, hopping. Sometimes she felt like a small child who just lacked the right toy in its hand. Verona had round eyes and lovely features, but everyone who knew her knew that she could be brutal and insidious. “We still have agreements and open connections with our human lives. We'll need a day to complete this. "

That's what I liked about Elisabeth. She thought before she acted. “So when do we meet tomorrow? Here in the factory? ”Letaya asked, and everyone nodded in agreement.

“Twelve o'clock should be enough. See you tomorrow, girls. "

Verona was the first to disappear, then the Countess followed. When Letaya was almost at the exit, she turned to me and eyed me keenly. "What do you have, Lilit?"

“Did the Lord say something to you? I mean, when he checked our loyalty, ”I said, and I finally had to know how it had been with the others.

“It was the same as always, Lilit. Satan wouldn't prefer anyone, that's why we're such a special group. We know that no one is more powerful than the other and that we can rely on each other. ”But … “ You are special, ” his voice rang out still in my head. “Go to the people and cut off relationships with them. The quickest way to get rid of them is to fake your death or make short work of it. ” Whatever she meant by that ... “ I can help you with faking , then just get in touch. ”   

Thanks, I nodded to her and she also disappeared. But I didn't want to go home. Grandma and Grandpa would be worried about me. What should I tell you? Why did I have a problem breaking up with them at all? Are there such powerful feelings behind it? Anyway, I didn't feel like they were gone on my eighteenth birthday.
