MoonLove: a mythological story

First encounter

Lilith woke up with as start and with a scream locked in her throat. What had just happen?

She got up expecting to find some kind of disaster next to her on the unknown bed, but all she could find was the book she had been reading, and to her surprise there was another note with a golden rose on top of it.

My beloved lady,

Please try to stay as far away as it is possible for you, from Joseph. He will not stop until he achieve his goals, which apparently it is you.

I will not be able to keep living if something happened to you.

I will find you as fast as I am able to, until then, my heart and soul will always be with you.

Forever yours,

Jared.

Lilith could not believe the possessive tone of the note, but at the same time that rage appeared in her soul, instantly a feeling of being protected covered her as the most beautiful and soft silk.

She could feel fear appearing inside her soul, but she was not going to give up all she wanted because of the threat of someone she did not even know who he was. She got up fast, took a shower, and got dressed with the easiest thing she found, her black jeans, a blood red blouse and her heels. She had things to do and that Joseph was not going to ruin her plans. She was near the door when a strange feeling went through her spine, she did not know why but she looked back.

There it was on top of the blankets, the note, the rose and the pin. Suddenly she got the urge of picking it all and hide it inside her heart even if she knew it was not possible, so she took the objects and put them in her purse except for the pin which she put in her hair without second thoughts and went out of the room.

Everyone looked at her while she walked to the outside door, but that moment she was not sure the reason. Without giving it importance she kept going until she reached the front yard of the building.  Everything seemed normal except for the group of girls in the middle of it facing something that seemed extremely important. Lilith sighed and tried to keep going but then a strange but grave voice reached her from the group of women behind her.

-          Lilith, Lilith why are you running away from me?

The voice even if enticing in a strange way made her step back as if someone had tried to burn her. That voice was filled with danger, and promises of pain and desperation as shattered glass.

-          Dear girl, please answer me before I get mad and make you regret it.

That made Lilith’s rage turn on, who was he to speak to her like that! She was no property nor anything of him.

-          Excuse me?! But who are you to speak to me that way! Beside I am free to decide if I want to answer or not and to who so do not threat me because I am not afraid of you.

Joseph could not believe how that girl dared to reply with such little respect, after all he had always been obeyed and considered since he was born in the darkest depths of pain, and fear. The only one who had dared to rise his voice to him was his father, after all the god of pain was not afraid of anything. But this little girl would not treat him as just another one in the campus.

-          It is the first time we meet young lady, and just because of that I will forget this disrespectful welcome, after all, in just a few more days you will have to get used to it unless you want to know what I am capable of.

-          Bravo! I almost believed what you said! – Lilith said with irony and hate in her voice – I do not know who the effing hell you are but I will let things clear to you; first I am completely free to do as I please no matter who like it or not, second I do not have to give any kind of explanation to anyone and third...

Joseph could not hold back his temper at this answer; he got near Lilith, knotted his hand on her hair and forced her face close to his, where his eyes were burning with fierce rage.

-          Now, let ME make something clear! You will do as I say, when I say and the exact moment I command. If I say go on your knees you will say...

-          NEVER!

Lilith gave an evil smile to him just before she raised her knee and hit him in the most vulnerable part of his body.

Joseph screamed, and let Lilith’s hair go while he fell to the ground and held himself still trying to look for air.

Lilith could not hold a laugh at this sight.

-          Oh, look! The most dominant man of the campus is crying as a little baby. What a beautiful sight!

With a wicked smile on her face she went down to Joseph’s level, took his hair the same way he had done with her and looked deeply into his eyes.

-          I am not a submissive, brainless little girl for you to control and possess! Touch me again, and you will be the one regretting it. Understood!

With that Lilith got up, and kept going like if nothing had occurred, after all she had plans for that morning and no asshole was going to ruin it for her.

Lilith walked down the nearest street of the campus main entrance while thinking on what did just happen. Who on earth was that stupid man, who thought was the king of the world and everyone had to be at his mercy. And even worst how did he dare to touch her against her will to try to submit her in front of everyone.

While thinking about it she felt powerful because of the way she had fought back, she had not thought about it at all, but her body had acted to protect her as if her life depended on it (which probably would have been that way if there were not so much people watching).

Lilith kept walking and thinking about what happened in the campus; for some reason she could not take that out of her mind until she heard a beautiful and known voice in her head.

-          Lovely lady, please stop thinking about it, do not give him the pleasure to be inside your mind.

-          Jared? Is that you? – Lilith said with the voice of her mind.

-          Hahaha, yes my beloved Lilith, it is me.

-          Excuse my question but...

-          How am I able to speak to you this way?

-          Well... yes...

-          I could do it since I first kissed you, but you did not need me here until now. Please my beloved lady stop thinking about Joseph, he does not deserve being between your thoughts.

-          Joseph? That asshole is Joseph?!

-          Well, yes...

-          Well, that explains a lot... at least now I know who I am fighting with.

-          You are a great fight by the way, I did not know you were such a warrior but I am just too proud of you.

-          Thanks! Now I feel powerful!...

-          Just do not put yourself at risk please...

-          I will try to... but if I must fight again, bring it on!...

Lilith heard a soft and musical laugh inside her mind that warmed her up like a lover’s embrace and she felt Jared leave. It had been an awesome way to get her day back on track and make her feel happy and safe. Just a little question covered her now, so she made it and watched the results.

-          If I contact you this way, are you able to hear me? – Lilith asked.

-          Of course I can, I look forward to hear your voice again.

With that the conversation was over.

Lilith arrived to her favourite German restaurant where she always go to be alone and relax from all the problems in her life, but this time there was another plan, after all now Martha had found out her secret temple, the only place where she could go, recharge herself and let everything outside her mind by fantasising and making out stories she wish were true.

With a deep sigh, she took all her strength and went inside to face her now profaned sacred place. She stepped in and instantly she could notice clearly, Martha was already there waiting for her as a demon expecting for her soul to be gifted.

-          Lilith! There you are!... I was worried that something might have happened to you. You are never late! – said Martha.

-          Well, I had a little encounter with an i***t in the campus, for some reason he thought I was his property because he said so.

-          Wait, what?... who was...

-          I do not know who he is, all I can tell you he is the new campus’ “star”... After all he is always surrounded by his female fans, which I find really annoying.

-          Wait!... you mean the impressive and mysterious new guy?!... Lilith he is the one who had been looking for you! Tell me, is he...

-          The worst asshole I have ever met?... yes he is.

-          How can you say that! He is too gorgeous to be as you describe him!

-          Ah! Why did I even bother telling you this!  You are never on my side when involving a man you like!

-          That is not true! I am always...

-          Yes, yes... whatever you say. Now if you do not mind, I am leaving, I have had enough anger today like to stand your “protection” on that asshole.

-          Lilith, wait... please do not leave – said Martha with a little desperation in her voice.

But it was too late, Lilith just got up and went out of there.

-          What a shame – Lilith thought to herself – I could not even order my favourite food.

Now her planned perfect day had gone from bad to terrible, not just that man had treated her as an object, but her supposed friend was on his side instead if hers! Well, that moment the only hope for Lilith was that the day could not be worse than it already was.

Martha stayed siting the restaurant processing what had just happened, she could understand Lilith’s anger by her not supporting her, after all she was supposed to be her best friend; but for some reason she was not able to control herself, so she spoke without thinking, and much less did she considered her friend’s feelings.

That was a strange way of seeing things, but inside of her, when Lilith told her about that man in the campus, she felt a strange desire of pushing her to meet him again. Maybe he was just playing the alpha male for all his witnesses. She should not had been so hard on him, and much less humiliate him in the middle of the yard!

-          What is wrong with that woman! – said Martha to herself.

But the same moment she received that thought from deep inside her mind, she got a start and went mad to herself, how could she defend a man who had just hurt her “best friend”, but then the answer appeared in her mind just as the question had; the voice inside her head answered immediately.

-          The reason is because you do not care about her at all, you are just doing your job so you get free of Vanessa’s spell and be finally free.

Martha sighed feeling hopeless, and getting filled by desperation. Her heart and conscious spoke to her deeply making her feel depressed and as a fake not only to the only person who actually stood her as she was, but to herself, for not being able to tell Lilith what her real intentions were, so she could stay away from her and keep safe. And if other gods were good, she could even be happy in the short life she still had to come. But Martha did not know is that her job had just begun.

She got up from the table the moment a little silver feather fell on her lap, it was a beautiful but strange, but what actually made her worry was the way it had appeared out of nowhere, but it was not her only problem, because when she took the feather, it opened and turned into a piece of paper with just 2 lines written on it.

Give me a new report on Lilith now!

I hope you did as you were told

Lilith kept walking without a route, so she could lighten her mood; unfortunately for her it was not making the trick at all so she decided to head back to the campus back se in that moment she was not even in the mood to go to the library and much less to the park or a cemetery. Just then she felt an impulse to keep walking for some unknown streets that seemed to be forgotten for a while; she felt he danger coming from the walls which surrounded her but she did not care, there was some energy calling her from the deepest of that place as a mermaid song and she decided to follow it.

Just a few blocks later she felt that peculiar energy getting stronger and stronger pulling her to a closed door which looked secured as if someone really important was there to protect or f*******n to get out, nevertheless she did not care, that feeling was so strong and enticing that she refused to ignore it and just followed it inside. To her surprise the door opened before she could even touch it as if magic had incited her inside, just then she noticed. She had returned to the dark emporium which belonged to the enigmatic Lady Lucy.
