Give Me Something for the Dream That I Am In

Lilith's Garden
Evening, Friday 2 OctoberI have dragged my feet for what seems like months, though, in truth, I suppose it has been millenia upon millenia that this confrontation has been waiting. It is peculiar that it would occur now, in this place of all places, during this time. I already know what to expect in a way, but we have both changed

My name echos on the wind, spoken by voices both known and unknown and though I listen, I pay them little mind. They were not calling me and even if they were, I would not have been moved to answered any of them, save one. My Marbas spoke of the names that once belonged to me. Names lost and then found, only to be lost again. And I watched as he toyed with the humans, laughing as he almost found himself trapped in his own game.

"Lilith, Grant me entrance or I will enter by force."

Now another calls my name, with a voice I know well. My garden remembers it too and Ooh how it shivers in rage, hungry for his flesh and his blood. I am tempted to let him try to enter by force and watch my garden have its revenge. I grant him nothing, and materialize behind him instead. "As I recall, your father had the very same idea. I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, hmm?" I purr in his ear. Laughing as he spins around to face me.

"As I recall, your father had the very same idea." I spin to face her, knowing that I look shocked. I did not anticipate her coming out to me. "I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, hmm?"

"Never does, Lilith. You know that better than anyone." It is not wise of me to goad her or tease her, but I am displeased with her. Like I was all those lifetimes ago.

"You have tormented someone close to me."

"Never does, Lilith. You know that better than anyone."

I narrow my eyes at his response but say nothing more. His father paid for his transgressions, I made sure of that. How fitting it was that the name he spoke with his last breath was mine. I wonder what Cain's will be.

"You have tormented someone close to me." he says. Ooh how cute, he's angry with me. Good. I always liked him better that way. "Have I?" I ask, smiling as I tilt my head. "He seems to do that well enough on his own," I giggle, "I simply provided him with further inspiration. Be careful what you wish for, Cain. I would think you know that better than anyone. I know dear sweet Laurence does," I smile, running my finger along his jaw. "Love me, Laurence," I whisper in the voice of the girl. And then I laugh.

"Have I?" she asks, proud of what she has done. Of course. "He seems to do that well enough on his own. I simply provided him with further inspiration. Be careful what you wish for, Cain. I would think you know that better than anyone. I know dear sweet Laurence does." She smiles, all beauty and cruelty at once. My jaw muscles tense at the feeling of her finger on my jaw. "Love me, Laurence." Her voice is a duplicate of Kate's but her laugh is all Lilith.

"Your mockery does not flatter. You have not grown. You are the same sad, lonely wretch of a creature that I left among the burning ruins of our folly."
