Murder is terribly exhausting.

Outside the Doctor's Office
Late afternoon, Monday May 3rd

It is one of those beautiful Spring days that poets write about, that make children look out schoolroom windows longingly, and have people out enjoying the sunshine in droves.

It is most inconvienent.

It's been increasingly harder to find Lucien alone. That night of him railing and moaning by the fire was the closest I've come, but that damn bartender came along as I started to move in. And now he's got the dark haired girl back in his bed and apartment. Complication after complication. It's not that I shy away from bloodshed, not at all. And if the truth be told, I am getting to the point where I will kill half the town if I bloody well have to...

but now knowing exactly how long it will take to be restore to my self after Lucien breathes his last. Well, I don;t want to be caught in human form by a lynch mob before I find out. It would amuse Iblis, I am sure, if I were to kill the man and then find myself dangling from the hangman's noose before I revert back.

I take a sip of coffee and shift myself to a more comfortable position under a tree. To everyone else, I am just the mild mannered school teacher relaxing in the sun. But not for much longer if I can help it.

(Open to Lilith)

Cece got out,AGAIN. I have not told her I know, I am waiting to catch her. The thought of her daring to do it does bring a small smile to my face. Ever the little fearless rebel. At least she brings a little friend along. I have been in the garden for far too long. Waiting and watching. Nothing of great importance, besides my little light, of course.

In my usual simple girl dress and look, I walk down the street, smile growing a little larger each time the sun warmed dirt scatters under my feet. I do so love that feeling. I don't think I'll ever tire of it. My smile widens, seeing the end of the trail I was following.

"Making plans, I hope," I giggle, snuggling next to the human body that contains my Arik. He used to be so much more. I do miss it. "Are you aware that your daughter is off on an adventure in town?" I ask sweetly, "And this is not the first time," I say, tracing a line of heat down his arm. I wonder if he knows and has been trying to hide it from me. As if he could. He knows his punishment would be far worse than hers.

I feel her swishing towards me long before I see her, but my Lady still brings a smile to my lips and a ache lower within this form when she comes into view.

"Making plans, I hope." Merely grin and take out a stiletto dagger, twirl it about between my fingers once, then replace it within my boot as she curls her body besides mine. "Of course. Just need to catch him alone, when there's no one about to help." Or catch me. I think to myself.

Lilith informs me that our darling has snuck out and is exploring on her own. My eyebrow goes up as she continues. "And this is not the first time," I laugh, even as she trickles searing heat down my arm. "Why that little sneak!" I chuckle, and drop a kiss on my Lady's head. "She's so much like you, so I am not overly surprised. Do you know where she is, should we go follow at a distance and see what mischief she gets herslef into?" I ask, tickled by CeCe's duplicity.

He confirms my hopes, twirling a dagger in his hand. Such a simple tool, but one he needs, no doubt. The doctor may very well be able to over power him in that human shell he's trapped in.

"Of course. Just need to catch him alone, when there's no one about to help."

"Naturally," I say, rolling my eyes. This has gone on far too long as it is. I give Iblis a slight smile for his ever so annoying creativity. The riot was a beautiful work of art as well. I could have done better, of course. It is too bad I missed the party. Though, I was captivated by it. Just like his god, a supernova, for the good of a human. Iblis must have been so disappointed. You'd think he would be used to it by now. There is an Adversary for a reason. We are the rejected children, ever punished for both doing as we're told and not.

Perhaps I'll rebel again just to mix it all up. It has been so long, that thought does not make me smile.

I do, however, laugh at Marbas calling Celeste a sneak. "She's so much like you, so I am not overly surprised. Do you know where she is, should we go follow at a distance and see what mischief she gets herslef into?"

"I do," I say nodding, seeing a brief flash of rope jumping and the sound of song. "She'll know if we follow and disappointingly enough, no mischief, just play," I sigh, "But she's safe." Just children. That is bad enough but not as bad as it could be. Enough of that.

Giving Marbas a level stare, I tilt my head and ask, "But will you do what is necessary when the time is right?" I still question that. He's far too attached to that doctor. I can remove anything that gets in his way...

I can feel her brief flash of irritation at my waiting for a good moment to kill Lucien, but it is soon replaced with her amusement at CeCe's antics.

"She'll know if we follow and disappointingly enough, no mischief, just play, But she's safe." Smile again. "Well, she's had no real example of mischief. Perhaps being around the other children will inspire some. And then, once she gets the hang of it... you can show her what real chaos is." My eyes sparkle at the thought.

I see I cannot keep the subject light, for she circles right back to my task.
"But will you do what is necessary when the time is right?" Stare into her eyes right back.

"Oh, yes. Sentimentality be damned, I have CeCe to watch after. She, and you are the only purpose I have." And I mean that. "Now, if I knew that I would revert back once the light faded from his eyes, I'd walk in there right now, witnesses be damned. But since I am not sure, better safe than facing down a lynch mob."

I am not sure she will agree with that, but it's the bare truth. "And if I'm gone, then you'll be left with Iblis, and if from what I've heard is correct, he may be most unsurly company." Here's to hoping a bit of gosspi will distract her for the moment.

"Well, she's had no real example of mischief. Perhaps being around the other children will inspire some. And then, once she gets the hang of it... you can show her what real chaos is."

For a brief moment, I can almost see my Marbas again and I laugh, "No, We will." I trace a fingertip along his lips, "Which is why you must get this little chore put behind you," I urge, feeling his blood boil at the mention of taking the doctors life. Giggling, I rub my nose against his, knowing how very much he dislikes me using my power on him.

"The dark would be better. Soon, my Marbas, soon." Least he put Cece in danger by being seen. Her mere existence in in danger already. And now he brings up one of the reasons why she may be in danger. "And if I'm gone, then you'll be left with Iblis, and if from what I've heard is correct, he may be most unsurly company."

"And this is a new development, how?" I snap in response. "How do you know he doesn't know already?" He has been in this town far longer than I, and even disregarding our tie, if Cain could find me... The very thought makes my skin begin to burn.

My Lady laughs merrily at the though of instructing our darling to mischief, and I love the way the flames dance in her eyes. "No, We will." I bite the finger at my lips and growl low in my throat. "Which is why you must get this little chore put behind you, The dark would be better. Soon, my Marbas, soon."</> Yes, soon. "The oppotunity will present itself, and then poor Doctor Constantine will be just another statistic of Excolo."

Oh, Lilith's mood shifts so easily, from bright, clean flame to roiling inferno. I never quite know how she will react to my mentioning Iblis. "And this is a new development, how? How do you know he doesn't know already?"

It is an effort not to sigh and roll my eyes. Don't know how I would fare if she threw this body halfway down Main Street. "I never presumed that he did not know. I was merely remarking that I think he's been too preoccupied at this time to bother." I try to explain myself clearer. "Firstly, the human woman Wanda bore his child, so he must be rather invested in that. Secondly..." And now I let a bit of a smile creep onto my face. "If what I heard was correct, his precious Tezcatlipoca is no more. I would assume he will be quite ...." Struggle for the right word. "mopey over the whole thing."

He mentions the birth of Iblis's child and the death of the god. I nod slowly at both. "He has had many offspring so we shall see how well this one fares. AS a matter of fact, I should pay the little darling a visit sometime soon," I laugh, I always did enjoy the little lights, and I think this one may shine all the brighter.

"You did hear right, the death of that one was like a supernova. They come and go," I shrug. "Iblis should know that by now," I say dryly. He will never learn. Perhaps I should pay him a visit too.

"We will have to remind our daughter of the dangers outside. If we allowed her time out, maybe it will be better. Forbidden fruit is always the sweetest, is it not?" I laugh, "And its not as if she's unsupervised. Jinn will watch over her at the very least. I must keep him sated, least he decide to play at the wrong time. "It also will be interesting to find out what she finds."

"He has had many offspring so we shall see how well this one fares. As a matter of fact, I should pay the little darling a visit sometime soon,"

Can't help but grin at that. "Take CeCe in for a tea party. She'll love it, and have her ask for the faerie wings." The mere thought of Celeste boucning around the tea shoppe causing mayhem in sparkly wings, it's enough to set me to chuckling.

Lilith mention's Tez's passing, and I roll my eyes. "He should, but he does not. For one who's renounced all love, he certainly dotes on his interest of the moment and sulks when it ends." There are moments, fleeting ones, where he rather reminds me of a lovesick teenager. Not that I would ever say that aloud of course.

Back to the subject of our little flower, Lilith muses it might be better to allow her out on her own. "It sounds like it would be a better idea. CeCe is very chatty, and it might be more fun for you if she would come back and tell us of all the exciting things she's done and learned... instead of sneaking out and keeping her secrets." I reason, looking to the office only to see a family wander in. I sigh, realizing today is probably lost, and place a kiss against her palm.

"How is your bee-keeper? Have you seen him recently?" I ask, curious to know where that project is heading.

"Take CeCe in for a tea party. She'll love it, and have her ask for the faerie wings."

My brow arches and my lips curve into a smile, considering the idea. Then I sigh, "It is a shame she does not have wings of her own." All of my others were deamonlings, or viewed that way depending on the one telling the tale. She is my little love none the less.

Marbas mentions Iblis and looks contemplative for a time, making me wonder what it is he dares not say. "Well he was a god, not a man," I say simply with another sigh. My Iblis, how far you do fall. Do not break your agreement in your sorrow... This is why I refused to agree to any requests, commands, or demands. Somehow I slipped into doing as they wished, regardless. The very idea makes the blood in this body boil.

"Hearing of her adventures would be fun, I think," I agree, the sound of giggling ringing in my ears again.

Looking up, I see people walking into the Doctors office. Smiling brightly, I wave and the man pauses and looks my way, causing his wife to run into him. After following his gaze, she waves back with a tight smile, dragging him through the door by his shirt.

Marbas kisses my warm palm and I smile up at him. "How is your bee-keeper? Have you seen him recently?"

"No," I say, shaking my head. He likely thinks he scared sweet Lily away. Though he hasn't forgotten her and continues to look," I smile wickedly, "I am content to leave it at that for awhile." Nuzzling his neck, I murmur against his skin, "Shall we go home until the little one arrives? We have awhile." If I cannot have my Marbas back, I will toy with the weaker man.

I still feel a pang of remorse when My Lady bemoans Celeste's apparent lack of powers or uniqueness, but I know she adores her none the less. "She is still a kitling, all we can do is wait and see if anything else presents itself as she grows." Perhaps she will develop her mother's knack for chaos, or maybe shape shifting.

And speaking of chaos, Lilith is having fun stirring up trouble and she doesn't even have to try. "You are incorgable!" I laugh, getting the idea that the poor man will be sleeping on the couch tonight.

No word on the beekeeper, and she's decided to string him along. "Seduce him, levae him, then whirl back into his life. Wicked thing, you." I grin, tickling her side as she nuzzles my neck. My grin of amusement deepens into something more feral as she suggests we take advantage of the time we have alone. I am always putting my life in her hands, trapped in this form as I am...

and I am instantly aroused at the thought of it.

"As My Lady wishes." I reply back, a low rumbling in my throat as I nip at her earlobe.

"She is still a kitling, all we can do is wait and see if anything else presents itself as she grows."

That is another thing. Her growth, it has slowed. That too may be due to her time spent away from the garden. I'm beginning to rethink the idea of allowing her out.

"You are incorgable!Seduce him, leave him, then whirl back into his life. Wicked thing, you."

Giggling, I shrug. "Free will, my darling, Free will." Dream or not, they choose their path. In some ways it is a shame that most of them are walking around asleep and refuse to wake up. I can't help but softly hum the tune called "Dream a little dream" as Marbas rumbles "As My Lady wishes."

Laughing in delight, I purr against his neck, nipping at it, "Catch me if you can." Jumping to my feet, I laugh and run away like a mortal girl. It is an old game but one to remind him of what he once was. One he has little chance of winning now, in the weak form he is in.

Though, I may change it and allow him to catch this time. Then he can beg.

All thoughts of the Doctor and the Beekeeper flee as her white hot teeth graze my neck. I think the town would frown upon me trying to ravage her besides a busy street, but it might not stop me if she keeps it up.

"Catch me if you can." Her laughter is music on the breeze, and I take a minute just to watch her move, the flash of pale thighs, the way her hair swings...

And then I am up and running after her. This body is mortal, and is not a match for her true nature, but she is playing at human. This body may be human, but it is in fine enough a shape for it's age, and keeps pace with her's easily enough. Lilith leads me on a merry chase down Main street, weaving in and around porch posts, just barely keeping ahead of my fingertips. I am sure it's on purpose, but it's fun!

She leads me into the park, a sylph weaving in and out of the trees, and I wonder if I will be allowed to catch her or not.

My laughter dances in the breeze as I run down the street, bringing men to peer out their windows and doors as if called. Laughing harder, the air is like a lovers soft kiss on my cheek as I stay just out of his reach.

Leading him to the park I dance into the forest, spinning around shrub and tree. For a moment it is almost as it was in a place time long since forgot. I could easily let this shell fade, raising the difficulty of the game. I hide behind an old tree, instead.

The heart in his body is strong, blood and breath running quick from the chase. My Lion remembers this game. It is a reminder of how limited he is now that his weakness is not by choice. Muffling a giggle behind my hand, I peer around the tree, knowing exactly where he is.

In a time before time was counted, in a place that no longer exsists, we danced this dance, her and I. I can almost smell the incense on the air, can almost hear the strange and exotic music from the Middle Eastern shores that is no longer in the memory of man...

Oh my pure and perfect flame, I remember you. I remember us. After all this time, my flames still burns for you. After all these centuries, I would still follow you anywhere.

My inner self rages and flames as the human flesh sweats and yearns. I am half mad, wondering if I can catch her, if she will just torment me today when I hear the very distinct sound of a muffled giggle.

There. The tree right in front of me.

As she looks around to the left, the body I occupy whips to the other side, and although I know she knows what I am doing...

It's still a thrill to catch her and pull her into my arms. Laughing, I place a kiss against the column of her throat, then her collarbone, slowly sinking and kissing my way down until I am on my knees, looking up at her.

Just the way I know she likes it.

Faster than I anticipated, I am being pulled against him. Warm lips trailing from throat to foot. My body molds to his,and I sigh, pressing against those lips.

Gazing down into his eyes, I smile. At least those are still the same, just lacking the burning flame. I miss my Arik and to see him kneeling in supplication pleases me. That simple gesture alone. It was one of the things that caught my attention. I do like games, and I have missed those too.

Only using human force, I set my bare foot on his shoulder, "And what is it my servant desires from his lady and offers in return?" I ask, head tilting in curiosity as I look down at him. My foot radiating heat that should make simple thought difficult for him. His answer should be fun. We may have to keep this mortal shell after he gets his true self back. It is fun to play with.

I am swirling my tongue around a dainty ankle bone when her foot raises only to press me down into supplication. My eyes tilt up to meet her's, full of almost painful desire.

"And what is it my servant desires from his lady and offers in return?" The word servant makes me bristle, for we would not serve and for that we chose to fall. But I followed Iblis, his servant. But... what was the saying? Better to reign in hell than serve in...? And Heaven could hold not thrill, no paradise for me that would rival the paradise in her arms.

"I desire all you would give, but ask for nothing بلادي أجمل النار. And in return, I give you all that I am, my form, my mind, my blood..." My heart. After all this time, oh after all this time, we have renounced love, yet ...

I manage to raise myself up enough to kneel, and tilt my head back until my throat is bared to her. This form is moral, it is fragile, it can be destroyed... and it is a act of faith, faith in her, that I show such vunerability.

Smirking, I watch his reaction to my words. Someone doesn't like them. Who better than I would understand the reason? I serve no one, nor will my daughter. But my touch is enough to dispel his natural reaction, or distract him from it, making my smile widen.

"I desire all you would give, but ask for nothing بلادي أجمل النار. And in return, I give you all that I am, my form, my mind, my blood..."

I giggle and clap as his head tilts back. Licking my lips, I watch that thick vein in his throat pumping blood furiously. He has been taught a lesson for lesser displays of weakness in my presence.

Ohhh he tempts me now does he? He knows better than that. I laugh again and place my palms on either side of his head, raising him to his feet. Bending his head back again, my tongue slowly along his neck, stopping at that singing vein. My teeth graze it just enough to scratch but not draw blood. Moving his head back, I nip around his lips teasingly, pausing to smile and murmur, "We bow to no one.You will bow to no creature ever again, my Lion." Winding my arms around his neck and standing on the balls of my feet, I giggle and give him a kiss. Like I kissed him long ago.

Both my annoyance and my offering please her, delight her. Both might have gotten me knocked across the park, so I am glad she's decided on delight instead of displeasure.

My Lady raises me up, and I feel her teeth at my neck, my jugular. I know she could kill me right now and so easily. The human body wants to bolt but I remain perfectly still as she nips playfully.

"We bow to no one. You will bow to no creature ever again, my Lion." She wraps her lithe form about mine and kisses me. Oh sweet flame, where have you been? I remember, oh Creator! I remember you. Purest Flame. First and most lovely .... ليليث‎

His body freezes at first, then relaxes into mine. Laughing against his lips, I pull away and take his hands. "The garden is still ours," I purr, pulling him in that direction.

Running again, I stay just out of his reach as I laugh pulling my dress over my head tossing it in his direction behind me. It is not far now and that should speed him up a bit. But it is not enough. I speed up once its in sight.

Of course I reach the heart of my garden first. I can hear it when he enters, so I crouch in the flowers and pounce on him as he passes me by. Laughing again, I dodge his kisses playfully, stripping him of his clothes.

After a very long embrace, she pulls away, running for The Garden. Still one step ahead, still laughing and light...

Lilith speeds up, reaching our sanctuary before me. Little Minx, since it is hers, she can blend into it better, becoming one with it. I creep around, trying to listen for her movement or sniff her out, for as trapped as I am, I still have sharper senses than a ordinary human. It does me no good though, for she comes from nowhere, laughing her body onto mine and bearing us down.

We are laughing, as I try to kiss her and she tears the clothes off of me. Soon, it is human flesh against human flesh. Lilith is on top of me, raking nails and heat down my sides. I have my mouth at her breast, nipple sucked into my mouth, tongue and teeth and hands giving her adoration, my apprecation of her beauty pressed firmly against her abdomen.
