Ok...no comments? T_T

Chapter 59/fleur de lis
----------
The blonde man waited until after she left to chuckle softly to himself. He had kept his
promise. There were things in the world worse than death, and he was pretty sure she was
feeling it right now. Her poor heart was breaking at the thought of the other not loving her,
it was just to delicious.
He was sure all he'd have to do was wait and she'd be begging for him...and until that time
he'd just have to have a bit of fun with the others.

He walked back to his Mistress Room. She was laying on her chase. Reveling in the malice and
fear Robyn spirit had left behind. Her head Back eyes closed.

Vulnerable.

She sensed what he was thinking.."Do you wish to tear out my throat, My PET? " She still had
her eyes closed she wasn't the slightest bit concerned.

She owned him, She owned them all. But she made a mental note to watch him, just in case.

"Yes My Mistress." He knew there was no point in lying, not to her. No when he made his move,
she couldn't see it coming.

"Oh! But I will My Pet. I will.." Damn! he tossed his head and walked to the fire and stared
at it, his back to her. She WOULD have to watch him, but at the moment he was still hers.

They all were 5 lovely young men. and 2 of them were twined. She would have...entertainment
for some time to come.

She would offer him something to distract him. "Tell me My Pet, Did you have fun with Little
Bynie. Did you break her heart.?'

He'd been staring into the fire sullen, until his Mistress had asked him about his little
project. Now his face changed he had new prey to play with.

He'd had his hands on the mantle, like a cat trying to gather the warmth of the fire, now he
still kept both hands on the mantle yet looked over his shoulder at her.

He couldn't help but be prideful of his schemes.

And despite everything he still wanted to please her and receive praise and more from her.

"Did you watch Mistress?" He said as he turned around. He strolled towards her, "Did you see?"
He knelt down next to her chase. He put a hand on either side of her grasping he hips.

"She believed every word I said. She is suffering as you wished..But I can make her suffer more
Mistress. Let me have my way and I will destroy her for you."

"I told you I want her humanity intact." "Yes I don't mean to make her as one of us in fact I
will not harm a hair on her head."

She smiled at her Pet bemused. "You have something in mind?" She petted him ending the stroke
under his chin. She slowly guided him to slide himself up and over her reclining body.

"I do Mistress.. I..if given permission by you, I will guide her to destroy herself and that
other and ..." He stopped to nibble at her collar bone, and then slowly trailed his tongue up
her creamy white throat.

The next words were spoken in between kisses and love bites, "you.. and I.. will have... the
pleasure.. watching them... slowly... kill.. each...other's...Spirit."

He stopped and looked into her eyes, his eyes shinning bright. "Then when you've given her to
me, we shall FEAST on her blood and body..That is if it... " he looked down bowing his head.

"Would it Please you Mistress?" He lifted his eyes to hers, he looked so innocent even Lillith
was taken aback. Had she not been able to see into his black little heart, even she would've
been fooled. Had he had Black hair he would've been....

And that's exactly the image Lillith let Robyn see in her head.
-------
"Would it Please you Mistress?" He lifted his eyes to hers, he was so innocent .. Robyn's
Rardy turning her over to Lillith. The blonde Gee had been right..at least about Rardy..?

No! he couldn't be!!! If he was than maybe he was right about everything... maybe Rardy NEVER
cared for her...Maybe... Robyn left the washroom by a different way than she had come in. She
found herself in a bedroom not unlike the one she'd had as a child before...Her life had been
torn apart.

She threw herself down and cried bitter anguished tears.
--------
Meanwhile Rardy sat in a cell, both his wrists chained to the wall. At least they made chains
long enough for him to sit.

He was crying too..Lillith had allowed Gerard a glimpse too, only instead of Lillith he saw
Robyn Under his doppleganger writhing in lust his blonde twin on top of her. Obviously
enjoying himself His hands roamed everywhere. he was FUCKING Robyn like an animal and she was
enjoying it. She had forgotten all about him.

He was crying as hard as a babe could cry.

And not just over Robyn. They'd all left him. Every last one of them. even his brother, Mikey
had joined Lillith. Rardy knew it he saw it and he knew why...It was all his doing, his and
the beast inside of him.

He was broken, beaten and damned, they'd all abandoned him.

In his despair even Lillith's arms would have been a comfort, but he was denied even that.

He heard something and he knew he was not alone.

"How does it feel Big Brother.? Be forgotten, set aside?"

"Mikes ! Y-you didn't forget about me you ha-ve to help me.! "

"How could I POSSIBLY" Michael spat the word. "forget about you."

For one split second Rardy had hope.

"It's because of you that I'm in this hell!!! Because of you I've sold my soul. For a few
moments here and there of her undivided attention...."

"Mikes I-" Michael kicked his brother in the jaw. "Shut up I'm sick of you!! Sick of your
explanations and excuses!! And your secrets!! I f you had bothered to trust me!!"He kicked
Gerard again who had not recovered from the first blow.

"He didn't trust any of us. Not even Robyn. He was better than us. " Frank leaned down grabbed
a hand full of Rardy black hair and pulled him to his knees.

He screamed in Gerard's face. "You couldn't be bothered to tell us that you KNEW what was
wrong!! Why this was happening to us!!!" Frank took all the years of being laughed at and
insulted and picked on and balled all of his fury in his fist, which he then sent flying into
Gerard's stomach.

Ironically he coughed up blood.

"S-she didn't take the pain away!! She just holds at bay! When she wants something you feel it
all again only worse! Because now you Know it's NEVER going to be better Rardy still lay on
the ground doubled over he kicked Rardy again.

"Enough? " It was the blonde him. "Do you want me to make them stop?"

Rardy could barely move, he slowly nodded his head and moaned.

"SAY PLEASE!" Rardy tried to say it, his voice racked with pain it came out as barely a squeak
"Please."

Blonde Gee looked at his twin disgusted by his weakness. How had this ever been his captor. He
reached down and grabbed Rardy by the throat crushing his wind pipe. His eyes raked over him.

"She wants you! You'd better behave or I get to keep you company in here for a while. I'll be
your captor. I will control you" He enjoyed the panic in Rardy's eyes.

He leaned into to whisper in his ear. "No one will care if you scream."

"Infact they might give 3 cheers...It would be sweet revenge."

Chapter 60/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He let Gerard go and waited for him to follow him out of the cell. He led him to his new
bedroom. "Here...get dressed, we are about to meet two very lovely ladies for dinner."
"Robyn?" Gerard asked breathlessly.
"Why yes...she will be there." His face looked a little pained.
"You mean...she's alright...Lillith didn't really hurt her?"
"No...she and Lillith talked...she made a deal....it...it may not be good for you."
"What the hell do you mean!"
"She said well...some things about you that you might not want to hear. She doesn't feel for
you as you do for her. She wants something else. Seems like she likes it a little rough too."
His eyes flashed with lust. Gerard felt sick...felt hurt...was what he saw true.
"But don't worry dear boy, you still have Lillith...she still wants you, even if that girl
doesn't."
Gerard looked at him, anger in his features...anger towards Robyn.
"Yeah...who needs her," he growled to the blonde man's approval while putting on some clean
clothes.

------------
Some time after finding her room, for it had to be hers, she had stopped crying. She sat up on
her bed, her skirt pooled around her like water, staring into the vanity mirror across from
her bed.
She had cried for a while, cried for herself...but not only herself. She had cried for Frank,
for Mikey, for Izzie, and even for him...it didn't matter what he had done...she still felt
sorrow for him. Now her face was slightly puffy and pink as she gazed into the mirror.
Looking there she wondered how many girls like herself had had the same fate. How many had she
brought here to watch them die of heartbreak? She remembered her mother telling her a story
once about a woman, centuries old, that kept pretty girls near her always. She would keep them
there and feed off of their emotions, off of their love, off of their heart until they just
faded to nothing and she gained their beauty. Then again...if that were true Robyn wouldn't be
a target, she paled in comparison to Lillith's looks. Lillith was fair, where Robyn had the
round face of a child.
Robyn sighed, trying to decide what to do next.
"Mom lied," she thought.
What does that mean?
Robyn looked up at the mirror, hoping to see Red, but she could only just see her...barely
there at all.
What does that mean Robyn?
"She...she said I would help people someday...save people...but she lied. I can't even help
myself."
You are wrong...you can help yourself...you have to.
"No...you can help me...you can help the others...you...."
Red just shook her head, not this time...God helps those who first help themselves...you have
to help them dear.
"So...your leaving me alone?"
No...you left me. You gave yourself to Lillith to keep that boy from harm for the time being.
I am not even supposed to do this now, I can't help you because you are no longer mine to
help.
Red started to vanish, "Please....don't leave me..."
But it was too late, she was already gone.
Robyn felt as though she might cry again, but she had no tears left. She sat there watching
herself in the mirror, hoping Red would return, but she didn't.
A knock came to the door, she went and opened it before it occurred to her that it could be
bad.
Lillith stepped in the room, sizing her up with her eyes.
"Come with me my dear, we are going to dinner."
"I'm...I'm not hungry."
Lillith smiled, "dear, I am not asking...I am telling."
She took Robyn's arm and led her out of the room and into a dining hall where Gerard and his
blond counterpart were already sitting. When they entered the room Gerard came and took
Lillith's hand and led her to the seat next to him.
"Thank you!" she said softly in his ear as she sat. Robyn stood in the doorway, shocked by the
fact that what she had seen was true.
He does love her.
Gee was then by her side, "come with me my dear. I saved you a seat." He took her arm and she
followed like a doll will follow its master. She sat across from Gerard, watching as he fawned
over Lillith. She sighed softly, not even looking at the food on her plate, but instead off in
space. Gee placed his hand on hers and bent close to her,
"You could have that too," he kissed her behind her ear, "all you have to do is admit to me
you were wrong about him."
She turned to him, part of her wanted to do that...it would make Gerard so jealous...so mad,
but she couldn't.
"How about a kiss instead," she offered. He grinned, the same one Gerard had done outside the
hospital. Her heart leapt into her throat as he brought her closer.
"Whatever you wish my dear."

Finally...more DLMS

Chapter 61/fleur de lis

(and down we go!!!!)

"You could have that too," he kissed her behind her ear, "all you have to do is admit to me
you were wrong about him."

She turned to him, part of her wanted to do that...it would make Gerard so jealous...so mad,
but she couldn't.

"How about a kiss instead?" she offered. He grinned, the same one Gerard had done outside the
hospital. Her heart leapt into her throat as he brought her closer.

"Whatever you wish my dear."

Gerard refused to look at Robyn..She had betrayed him. He had cared for her. He thought he'd
been falling for her. And she for him. Now he Knew it was not true... By her own actions she
had proved to be a liar. Gerard may have a monster inside of him.., He'd never lied to Robyn.

And his Mistress had never lied to him. Even back in the beginning back in the coffee shop
that fateful day. He'd followed her, wherever she lead.

In the beginning she asked nothing of him, only sat and listened. It wasn't long before Gerard
would've done anything for her. Only she seemed to understand him. His dark impulses, they
didn't frighten her if anything she seemed intrigued by them.

She was young and so beautiful, Gerard couldn't fathom why she even gave him the time of day.
Girls like her didn't notice him.

One day, day he was on his way home, he had been drinking in the cemetery no one would bother
him there. She was at the gates she stood there weeping.

Gerard's heart broke for her. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

He had never seen her like this.

"Because I am all alone."

"That's not true. I'm with you."

"For the moment yes..but it will not always be this way. You will leave just like all the
others. When you realize the monster that I truly am, you too will leave. In the end I am
always abandoned..." She wept bitter tears.

He would have done anything to make her feel better.

"Lilly, (She was not yet his mistress) I won't leave you. You are the only person to accept me
for who I am. When I'm with you, I feel like I matter, that I could be someone someday."

He took her face in his hands "When I'm with you the pain goes away...I feel like I could do
anything." he leaned and for the first time he kissed her.

Her tears were hot and salty on her lips. She tore herself away. "No! You will leave me too!!
My heart will shatter...Better you leave now. it will hurt less when I.."

It was then that he was trapped. "Lilly when I'm with you I feel invincible, instead of being
invisible. I won't leave Lilly. The way I feel with you, you make me feel..I dunno
almost..powerful. Let me stay with you. Don't send me away..PLEASE!!"

He took her in his arms she was trembling. She seemed so young and innocent. He kissed her
again. Some part him Knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help himself.

Maybe it was because he knew she was vulnerable, Maybe he was taking advantage of her pain.
But he couldn't resist. He didn't even want to try.

He suddenly felt power surging threw him. He wouldn't let her go. He wouldn't let her take
this feeling from him.

She sensed a change in him. She tried to pull away but he wouldn't let her. She broke free of
his lips and tried to run. She ran blindly, seemingly terrified of him. He caught and over
powered her.

"I won't let you leave me! You can't take this away from me!!! I need you Lilly!!"

She let herself be cornered. "One way or another I won't let you leave..I thought I meant
something to you..."

She looked at him. "You do!! But once you know what I am.."

"I COULD NOT CARE AT ALL!! All I know is that I DO ANYTHING to keep you with me!!! Anything."

She let him kiss her. She struggled a bit. She was still trying to leave him.
He tried to kiss her again. He had to convince her to stay.

He pinned her hands back against the wall. He was out of control, desperate not to have her
leave. He kissed so hard that he tasted her blood. He raised his head, he had to make her see.

"You take my pain away!! Without you I have nothing but pain. You make me strong. Without you
I will disappear."

She was sobbing "Promise you'll never leave me.." She still had tears on her face,

He swallowed hard and nodded. "Anything, just don't leave and don't send me away." He
whispered with tears in his eyes.

She nodded very slowly. he released her hands. Her hands and arms went around his waist, her
head on his shoulder. "Would you, come home with me?"

Gerard closed his eyes. She wasn't sending him away!!

"Lilly I don't know if that's such a good idea, a few moments ago I nearly..."

"You don't want me and You don't love me!!"

"I DO ! I DO !"

"Then why won't" she wailed her voice breaking. "you come with me? Fine. I won't bother you
again!!"

She ran from him. He followed. He knew they were close to her apartment, he'd been there
before it had become a haven for him.

She got to her door and fumbled for the keys. She had barely opened the door, when he pushed
his way in. He slammed the door behind him.

It was a small studio she had no where to run.

She knew she had him trapped. She let him catch her.

He believed it was all his fault.

He threw her down onto her beat up old red leather couch. He would never let her go. She
struggled underneath him. She did anything to try and stop him. To his shame her struggles
aroused him. He'd gone too far there was no turning back.

"I will do anything to keep you with me ANYTHING!!"

She bit him. Gee felt all of his pain leave. Where she bit him, it actually felt fantastic. It
was as if she was sucking all the poison out of him. He felt like he never wanted it to stop,
but it did.

She sobbed once. "You won't leave? You promised.."
"No!! No I won't" "Do you want to stop?" "No Lilly Please! Don't stop!!"

"But your crushing me.." Gerard rolled onto his side her back against the back of the couch.
"Lilly what you were doing, Don't stop."

Lilly smiled. "Do you wanna try..?" She said shyly as she brushed her hair from he neck.

"I don't wanna hurt you." "Did I hurt you?" "No!! It felt fantastic !!"

"Well then make me feel fantastic, Stay with me! I wanna..wake up with you I wanna spend
eternity with you. Please Gee. Don't you want to take away my pain?"

He snapped he wanted her, and she was enticing him. He took what was offered all of it.

The Blood, the Sex, the Eternity.

She never once lied to him.


Now Robyn sat across from him. His twin nuzzling her neck, Whispering something to her. She
offered the blonde a kiss.

'Lying bitch' he thought 'you've already given him a lot more.'

Robyn could see him out of the corner of her eye. She would give him a show.

Robyn turned slightly to her dinner partner. She closed her eyes as Gee came closer to kiss
her.

Gee watched his Mistress and the other. Approval shown in his Mistress eyes. Hatred in the
other's.

He kissed her deeply. His tongue invading her mouth. Gerard's had always been so soft, tender
nothing like this. But she knew he was watching and she refused to let him see her heartbreak.
She kissed back.

"My, it seems, the cards have been reshuffled. Perhaps I was mistaken about you Little Bynie,
it seems there is fire in you."

Blonde Gee pulled back a bit, 'let her beg' he thought 'she will break.'

Robyn answered hoping to hurt Gerard "Maybe I've just found the right man. One who knows what
I want."

"One that knows how to excite you." Gee took a long drink of a red liquid. Robyn was sure she
didn't want to know what.

"I guess we both found what we wanted." Gerard put his arm around his Mistress and pulled her
close.

Robyn tried to ignore Gerard, it wasn't working. Gerard seemed to hang on that woman's every
word just like back in the coffee shop. He fawned over her.

He gazed at her as though they were in love, like honeymooners. A bridegroom over joyed in his
bride.

Robyn thought she was going to be sick. But she wasn't going to let him see it.

Blonde Gee spoke. "Thanks to you Gerard, Our Mistress has made new friends... Our little
family is growing by leaps and bounds. She has even come to a bargain with our Little Byn."

His arm around her his hand resting against the side of her breast, He wanted the other to
notice, and notice he did. He looked at his former captor, he was going to relish tormenting
him.

"Would like to hear the details?"


Chapter 62/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gerard's mind flashed back to what he had seen while in his cell, he felt sick hate burn in
him, "you know...I'd rather not hear all the details of what you do to her in your free time,
if you don't mind."
Gee laughed, "come now, that is not proper dinner conversation. I was talking about Robyn's
deal."
Robyn sighed, "what's to tell. He was practically there." She turned her full attention to
Gerard, "you were about to rip my tongue out...kill me...and I though that it would hurt you
to do it, so I gave myself to her. Frankly, I've never felt more foolish."
"How so dear," Gee asked, concern on his face.
"Because...I gave myself over to save him, and he didn't even NEED help. He...he would have
enjoyed it, and now I have to suffer this fate."
"Yeah...and you really seem to be in pain." Gerard mocked.
Two angry roses grew on Robyn's pale cheeks as this sunk in. She leaned across the table
toward Gerard.
"Let me ask you something Rardy. When you saw her lead me out of the room...thinking I was
going to die...did you cry for me?"
Gerard felt a slight sting. He had been mortified to know that he couldn't stop what was
happening. As soon as the doors had closed he had dissolved to the floor, only recovering when
his mistress came in and said that, thus far, Robyn was untouched. He thought it over...and
answered.
"When I saw my Mistress come through that door again, I've never been more happy."
Robyn sat back in her seat nodding, "thought so."
She then stood up, looking at Lillith.
"Lillith," she would NEVER call her mistress...not even lady, "my I go to my room now?"
Lillith looked her over and sighed, "I suppose if you are not going to eat. My Pet will take
you to your room."
Gee then took her arm and led her away from the table, throwing Gerard an smirk as he went.

-----------

Gee took her to her room, wondering what to do to them next when he caught a whiff of it. At
first he didn't think it possible, then he realized that that was perhaps the one thing saving
her.
She was innocent, not just that...it didn't give her justice...pure...white...untouched. He
smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist enveloping himself in the smell. If he played his
cards right (and he thought he could) he would be her first and last. How sweet it is!
They reached her room, she asked if he wanted to come in. He entered after her, closing the
door with a startling snap.
"How are you feeling?"
She turned toward him smiling with tears, "I should have known better. Nothing is forever
except pain. It was dumb....and now I'll pay for it...forever."
She sat on her bed, he quickly sat next to her putting an arm around her.
"Do you hate him?"
She looked thoughtfully down at her hands, "I.....I don't think so..." she smiled, "I am
stupid that way."
He shook his head, "no...you are sweet and kind." He gave her a small kiss, "I'll help you see
how great it can feel to be wanted."
She looked in his eyes, her face like that of a frightened child, dreamily hypnotized, "I...I
think I an going to bed now Gee." She backed slightly away from him. "I'll talk to you
tomorrow...okay?"
He stood up from the bed and bid her goodnight, the whole time wondering how easy it would be
just to do whatever he wanted to her.
She sat on her bed long after he had left, thinking about the trouble she was in, thinking
about how on earth she was going to help anyone...then she finally slept.

Chapter 63/fleur de lis
--
"Robyn is an innocent...My Lady why didn't you tell me? Why didn't I see it before?" Gee said
quietly to himself as he walked down to his Lady's quarters he needed some answers, Why had
she kept this from him? He needed to understand...
---
Lillith was pacing in her quarter's ALONE.. She needed quiet , time to think. How should she
proceed? "Damnation!!" She despised free will ! it was free will that caused her and her
"angel" their down falls.
Now once again someone's free will threatened to ruin her plans.
Wills were tricky things to control. Even if you took someone's will, it had a way of slowly
coming back.
The real magic came in making someone believe it hadn't come back Or that they never had a
will of their own in the first place.
If you could make a soul give it's will up on it's own..Then they were yours!!
Sometimes it was easy...Lillith watched and waited for those times...
What else had she to do..?
Sometime it was damn near impossible. Lillith fumed.
Robyn was DAMN near impossible!!
But Lillith wasn't going to give up yet.
Only she could see the whole board, the whole game...
And SHE would win because of it.

Suddenly she wasn't alone her "angel" had returned and was obviously troubled. He
needed...guidance.
"Robyn is an innocent...My Lady why didn't you tell me? Why didn't I see it before?"
"Because my "angel" I didn't wish you to."
"I don't understand." While earlier he had considered that he may not need Lillith anymore,
and yet now , he realized he did not know how to pursue his prey..
Innocence, purity is a powerful force one that he was not sure how to deal with...
His Lady would surely know what to do next. She had never failed him before. Either way He
WANTED Robyn. Wanted to posses her and through Lillith he would get what he wanted it was only
a matter of time.
"Robyn's innocence Must Not be taken from her. It may be bargained for, cajoled away from her,
she may even seduced. But she must not taken. Otherwise her will, and My Pets', will be to
strong."
"Yes..,but my..the other doesn't believe her to be an innocent, to be so anymore. What
difference does it make? Seduced or forced, the bond will be there. As will my mark on her.
You know as well as I...Her humanity,.. her perceptive will change. She will adjust how she
views things. She will need me. She will convince herself that she loves me."
"With your encouragement I imagine! Her very state of innocence her un-attainability, her dare I
say it , virginity is exactly what keeps your other in line. The hope of somehow touching the
divine, her purity, her innocence is what drives him to protect her. Her innocence is his
weakness."
'Something I can never give him.' she thought sourly. It was his perception of Lilly's
innocence that had entrapped him in the first place. That and his shame at seducing it away
from her, at least that was how Gerard had viewed their encounter long ago.
Lady Lillith was growing impatient with this subject. "He feels he has to protect her from
everyone including now, himself. Where as before he was fighting us now, he is at war with
himself instead of us. He is controllable again."
"What is that to me..? You get him. He gets you. What do I get? A few underlinings to torment.
And a drop of water in the desert... Damnation!! I remember when I was your favorite! When you
could deny me nothing. Since THAT...my captor...,I am forgotten!!"
"It was his innocence that first attracted me to him...But never mind him, my angel. You give
me things he NEVER could." She said as she draped herself about him. Her cool hand against his
hot cheek, her body pressed seductively up to his. "Just as I can give them to you..." She
tilted her head an almost cat like motion. "Come..come to my bed. I shall make you forget
today, and make you remember why you became my favorite."
"But I'm not you favorite am I? " He growled. "Perhaps." She walked away a little toward her
bed, her back exposed to him, vulnerable. She looked over her shoulder at him. "Perhaps you can
FORCE me to remember, to change my mind."
He growled again as he pounced on her. Tore at her robes. She reveled in his violence, as he
ravished her as wanted to do to Robyn.
Chapter 64/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Robyn slept put of her light sleep for the fifth and final time that night. Every time she tried
to sleep, she dreamed about her mother...or Mikey and Frank being hurt. She couldn't stand
much more of this. She sat up in her bed, the determination to sleep slowly leaving her. She
walked toward her bathroom, shielding her eyes from the pale glow of the lights. She admired
her reflection as best she could, pulling at the fabric of the light pink nightgown she was
wearing.
"Looking good kid," she muttered to herself. She then looked at her wrapped arm, still holding
the wrapping Gerard had put on there what seemed like years ago.
Robyn looked at her arm thinking, 'if Gerard had hated me all along then why would he have
wrapped my arm for me?'
That started the ball rolling. She began thinking about other times Gerard had been kind,
realizing that love was not about being kissed but about caring for another person.
She left the bathroom and got dressed in her room, the only thing in there being a crushed red
dress with a neckline off her shoulders. She needed to talk to someone...she needed Gerard.
--------
Gerard fumed in his own room, thinking about how Robyn was acting. What she had done.
Every time he thought about it he felt like he would explode with rage. He needed to calm
down...he needed to talk to his Mistress. He walked toward the door when he heard a quiet
knock. He stalked the rest of the way and found Robyn standing there. She gave him a nervous
smile and picked at the neckline of her dress.
'Geez...why is she wearing that...it's like wearing pork-chop pants in a lions din.'
"What are you doing here?"
"I...I wanted to see you...talk to you without the others being here."
He backed away from the door and allowed her to enter, closing the door behind her.
"Make it quick...I've better things to do."
Robyn cleared her throat and wrung her hands together, the perfect picture of nerves. He
didn't buy it.
"I want to know...if you hated me why did you help me?"
Gerard was totally lost...who had said he hated her? Certainly not him, but if it made her
hurt it made him happy.
"My Mistress wanted you unharmed. I do what I can to please her."
Robyn didn't look satisfied, "but...she wanted you to hurt me and you wouldn't. It just
doesn't make since."
'Yeah...and I didn't think you were the type to sleep around', Gerard thought.
"Look...is this going somewhere. Because if not then..."
"Then what? You are going to leave me here alone."
"Oh...and you are SO alone here. Seems to me you have plenty to keep you busy. Like my blonder
half."
"What are you TALKING about?"
Gerard was getting mad, why wouldn't she just admit it?
Just show her you know...what will it hurt?
He smiled as he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.
"I'm talking about this," he pulled her toward the bed and pinned her down.
"Gerard...what are you..."
"Isn't this what you want...isn't this what he does to you?"
"But I never..."
He wasn't listening to her, his heart was pumping. He bent and kissed her throat, the whole
time knowing when this was over that he would feel worse then ever.
He suddenly felt something warm and wet hit his cheek and slide down.
What was that?
He felt it again, he sat up and looked at Robyn. She was crying, tears running down her face.
I'm hurting her...she's crying because I've hurt her.
He backed away from her, feeling as though he was going to be sick. What had he been
doing...what was he thinking.
Robyn raised up, tears still rolling down her cheeks, "if I let you...will you forgive me?"
He backed further away, he didn't even want to touch her.
"Please," she sobbed, "I just don't know what I did to hurt you."
"Leave," Gerard growled, "leave. I never want to see you again."
"But..."
"Go!" he shouted, shoving her out the door and slamming it behind her.
--------------
"Pick one," Lillith said to Izzie. Today Lillith was going to see just how far she could make
Izzie go. She felt it would be pretty far, but you never know.
"What for?"
"To help you...today we are punishing one and rewarding the other."
"What about me?"
"You are special...you are always rewarded."
Izzie smiled, "I pick Frank then."
"Frank it is." She stroked Izzie's head. She was going to let Izzie have some fun, and if at
some point her angel happened to come buy with Robyn...so much the better for all.
---------
Gee walked toward Gerard's room, knowing that Robyn would be near by. He came to the door and
spotted her sitting on the opposite wall crying. He came closer, wrapping his arms about her.
"What's wrong dear?"
"I....it doesn't matter." she shook her head.
"Well, when you are ready to talk you know where I am." He then reached and pulled her to her
feet, "but come with me now. We are gonna go for a walk...I'll show you around...get you
feeling better."

Robyn sighed and followed him, but suddenly wasn't as happy to be around him as she had been
before. Something was wrong, he didn't feel right. She looked at him as he laughed, the
laughter was in his face, but not his eyes...they stayed the same. Always sparkling with a
lusty fire. She would have to be very careful.

Chapter 65/66 fleur de lis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lady Lillith sat on her chase. They entertainment was about to begin. Things were falling into
place for her nicely. Her Pet was on his way, he was confused she knew. So she would offer
some guidance, and perhaps more.

Her newest protege Izzie showed real promise much as her pet did in the beginning the more
pain they were in the better they were at...redistributing the wealth so to speak.

And her angel, he while she was wary of him, he did have a delicious plan brewing. Yes all in
all things were proceeding nicely.

She heard the door first her Pet. “Ah my dear you look troubled. I thought at dinner you
seemed happy to be at my side again...Was I mistaken? “

Gerard frowned. He was very confused. He knew Lillith had wanted Robyn hurt all along. Yet she
was safe with the confines of Lillith's abode as safe as could be expected. Yet something just
didn't make sense. When he grabbed Robyn those tears they seemed real..

“I know My Pet, she seemed innocent didn't she, in the end she wanted something, just like
everyone else, you just hadn't found her price. Tears come from many reasons my dear pain, anguish, frustration. Perhaps she was frustrated
that she had sold herself to cheaply, so easily. Perhaps it was anguish that you had finally
seen who she really was.” as she spoke he slowly came closer to her.

When he first entered the room, he stayed away, as if, by instinct far from her. But as she
spoke he was mesmerized and disgusted by what she said. Everything he was afraid of she was
voicing. Now she would twist the knife.

“Or maybe..” Lillith rose and crossed the space between them. “The pain came from you. After
all you wanted her didn't you? You wanted to do what your 'blonder half' half did. He is a
part of you the truer part isn't he?'

Gerard put his hands to his hair. He wanted to pull it out. Everything she said was true!!!
Lillith had NEVER lied to him. She told BRUTAL truths. The kind no one wants to hear.
But she was right. He did want her. He did want to...He closed his eyes. But instead of
helping, he just saw it even more clearly. Robyn underneath him clawing at him. And he himself
using her the way Gee had done!!
Lillith saw his weakness and used it to trap him even further.
Poor Gerard had no where to turn. He had no one now. He'd kept his secrets from the group.
Most of whom were now under Lillith's control. He had kept them from his own brother, instead
of protecting his little brother, he himself had brought him to His Mistress.
And now even if he told Robyn how he felt...She had chosen another, yes it was still part of
him but...It wasn't him. Besides he had seen what Robyn's reaction had been...But what what did
she mean by "Let you..." His eyes wide trying to make sense of it all.
Lillith sensed his unrest, she knew where his line of reasoning was taking him she had to
distract him....
"My Poor Pet." She said stroking his hot cheek. Her hands felt like ice to him. He wasn't sure
if it repelled or comforted him, maybe both....At least the demon you know....
"She's not worth it." He tore away from her.
Lillith's eyes narrowed, he would not grow a back bone now!!!
"I understand you're upset..You wanted to be the one that took her first didn't you...You
wanted to convince her you surrender, as you did to me that night, not so very long ago.."
"But you weren't.."
"YOU thought I was. You wanted to use me. And use me you did...You didn't care when I cried.
You didn't stop when I hurt. You ENJOYED the pain, said it made you feel alive...It wasn't
until after that you felt any remorse. And if you want honesty You'd do it again...You
wouldn't change ANYTHING about that night!!!!"
Gee had been covering his head as she spoke as if to block out the memory of what he had
done..To defend himself from her words, yet he found himself aroused by them...
He looked at her he wanted her to stop and he'd do anything to make that happen. Her eyes were
blazing, her white skin showed a lace work patten of icy blue veins an warm red blood. Gerard
couldn't help how much he needed that blood. And he knew she could stop his pain and hold it at bay
if...He did what she wanted.

"What do you want from me Lillith?! " he yelled and then didn't wait for and answer. He
grabbed her by the shoulders and threw her down on her chase.
He wasn't stupid. He knew he wasn't in control of the situation but he could let himself
pretend...
In one movement he was on top of her. Pressing her into the cushion. He reached own and freed
himself. And made no pretense of any semblance of love making. They were going to rut. He was
going to Fuck her. And she was going to enjoy it.
He thrust himself inside so hard she actually cried out. Something Lillith was not used to but, she smiled an evil smiled she' d won again. For a little while his guilt would keep him under control, malleable. HERS.

He tore at her flesh, dug his nails into her, although they were almost fully clothed. He
bared his teeth and sunk them into Lillith's soft neck a painfully as he could.
Lillith's head tossed with the pleasure of it all. As he continued to pummel her.

"And this is our Lady Lillith's room." Blonde Gee said as he opened the door, and appeared to
try to quickly shut it. Robyn bought the ruse.
Robyn couldn't believe what she saw and yet, this was no vision, something her mind had made
up to trick her. This was real.
She stood there for a second in shock before turning to run away in tears.
Blonde Gee raised one eye brow, and quietly closed the door. He had known what to expect from
his Mistress. She had never failed to give him what he wanted. Now Robyn would practically
fall, begging into his bed.
He went to search for her. This would be fun.

Robyn wasn't alone for long. She ran head long into Michael. But there was something odd about
him. He looked like Michael but something in his eyes shown. Confusion maybe, our perhaps
concern.
"Robyn." He whispered. "Listen things aren't as they appear...I can't talk now but..don't
trust your eyes. Trust your heart sometimes things aren't as the seem."
"They seem pretty obvious to me!" she bellowed tearfully.
"Shh-HH!! They'll hear you! Look I know my brother. He loves us even though....I sometimes
forget that..sometimes Robyn we all make mistakes. Are you perfect? Can you expect my brother
to be?" He seemed very kind, like before. "He's coming!! I'm sorry!" Mikey hissed and grabbed
Robyn an tried to attack her.
At first Robyn didn't understand then, she saw him. The blonde Gee, smirked not thinking she
could see, and immediately changed his face to look of indignation as started to shout at
Michael.
"She's not yours. Mistress Lillith said no harm should come to her. She is our guest.!!" He
said as he pulled Michael off of her, and threw him against the wall. "If you're hungry GO
HUNT!!! I'm sure the Mistress won't mind!She's..preoccupied !" he said with a snarl the was
almost a smile.
"Are you all right?" "I'm fine." She swallowed she would have to be very careful.
"What is going on?!" Lady Lillith's voice rang out. She was strolling down the hall still
wearing the same red dress, she hadn't bother to change. The smell of passion still hung on
her. Gerard was by her side. His eyes downcast he couldn't look at Robyn. But he did at Michael.
"Lady this boy was attempting to feed of off our lovely guest. I told him to go Hunt!!"
"He doesn't know how, He'll get caught." "Not my problem is it."
The two Gee's were toe to toe. Snarling at one another.
"Mistress May I teach my brother to fend for himself." He still was staring at his blonde twin.
Lillith looked at the scene things were proceeding nicely.
"Later. It's time to show you all the rewards and the punishments that come from my hands. The
great hall now!"
They all followed her, except for Gerard who was beside her, offering her his arm. into the
great hall, three figures were in the room.
Izzie was standing, Frank wasn't. He was on his knees, Izzie had been feeding. Unlike Michael,
Frank had not tried to hide the fact that he was unhappy with his deal with Lillith..
He had tried to run. Izzie had found him. Ray had helped bring him back, and was quietly
enjoying the scene.
Frankie was on his knees panting. Invisible bonds held his arms tight, he could not fall
further. Had they not been there Frankie would been a heap on the floor.
Blood was oozing from the various open bite marks all over his body. Ray wiped away a small
tickle from his own lips, fear was his favorite. Frankie was beyond afraid, he was terrified.
Robyn couldn't believe her eyes. Lady Lillith sat down on almost a throne. Gerard stood next
to her and Gee had lead her to her own seat. I t was very normal as if the were going to the
movies or something as harmless as that.
"My Lady!!" Izzie was delighted to see her. She came and kissed Lillith's Hand. "you had said
to begin..."
"No! My child I am quite pleased. Continue," Lillith eyes sparkled as if watching a child she
adored.
"No Please!!! No more!!!PLEASE!!" Frankie begged. "I'll do anything no more."
"Lady? Would you teach me?" Izzie wanted all of her lady's attention this was how she would
get it.
Lillith was actually flattered. "What would you like to learn my child?"
She said as she rose to go and examine Izzie's new plaything.
Robyn looked at Gerard. He had his eyes closed shut tight in disgust. He had played this game
before.
"YOU Have potential my child. Perhaps more than my pet."

Chapter 67/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Robyn watched as Lillith walked over to Frank's cowering form and grabbed a hand full of his
hair, jerking his head back and further exposing his neck.
"To really feed you have to expose the throat in full." Lillith explained as if she were
teaching a class. She then bent forward towards Frank. Robyn closed her eyes, digging her
nails into the arm of her chair.
"She can be so cruel," the blonde Gee whispered in her ear. Robyn turned to see him grinning
from ear to ear. She turned back to Frank and Lillith. She couldn't stand it. Lillith played
with him, acting as if she had forgiven him...moving to untie him and then jerking his neck
further. Robyn's breaking point was the fear in Frank's eyes, and a single tear that fell down
his cheek. She jumped from her seat.
"STOP IT NOW!!!"
Robyn yelled it as she stood up from her seat. Gerard stared at her, in fact everyone in the
room was looking at her now.
"What...the entertainment not to your liking dear?" Lady Lillith said smiling cruelly.
"Please...just stop..." Frank muttered.
"Why? We are having so much fun?"
She laughed as she bent over him. Gerard looked away again and his eyes fell on Robyn as she
stalked toward Lady Lillith.
"I said STOP!" She howled as she struck Lillith across her face.
The sound of it echoed through the the room. Gerard flinched waiting for the inevitable blow
Lady Lillith would land, but she didn't. She just watched Robyn.
"Will you just stop it! You are gonna kill him," Robyn said, tears in her eyes.
"How else will he learn? I cannot have you trying to escape."
"Killing him won't help! He is begging for crying out loud!"
Robyn stood before her, not afraid of what was going to happen.
Mikey walked over to Robyn, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Mistress...might I take her to her room so that you might get back to work?"
She smiled at him, "Of course dear...and you might take a treat from her if you wish. Guest or
not it is never nice to strike your host."
Mikey nodded, grabbing Robyn's arm painfully. Dragging her out of the room as Lillith
continued.

Chapter 68/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever it was clear that they were alone, Mikey loosened his grip on her arm. "Sorry...I
just didn't think it wise for you to be there much longer. Hit her once and you could get by
with it, but if you went any further she would have killed you."
"But...what about Frank...she's going to KILL him, don't you CARE?"
Mikey stumbled a little in his pace, "yeah...but she needs him. She just wants to break him."
They were at Robyn's room, Mikey opened the door and pulled her inside after him. He turned to
her, fear in his eyes.
"I didn't want to leave him, but he should have acted better. He should have known that he
would have to play along."
"Like you Mikes?"
He sighed, this was going nowhere.
"Look...remember what I said earlier."
Robyn nodded, her eyes round.
"Good, then stay here and I'll prove to you that I know what I'm talking about."
Robyn's head was spinning...was Mikey good or not? Was he telling the truth or was it a trap?
Did she really have any choice but to wait and see? She guessed not.

Mikey walked to the door, placing his hand on the knob before he remembered what his 'lady'
had said. He turned back to Robyn, his face paling.
"Byn...I have to ask a favor. Lady Lillith is expecting me to have attacked you...I have to
keep up appearances you see." He took a step toward her, "I'll be easy, I won't hurt you...but
if I don't we will be found out."
Robyn looked terrified, but nodded.
"Not much...just enough to make it seem real," she said closing the distance between them.
He felt dirty wrapping his arms around her, pulling her hair away to get a clear spot.
"I'll be easy...I don't want to you know."
She smiled a little, "sure thing...I know you don't."
He pressed his face into her soft neck and bit down. He felt her body tense in his arms, but
he paid it no mind. He was relishing the taste of her. She felt warm and comfortable flowing
down his throat. He felt better doing it...not so down on himself for being second best all
the time. He bit harder, releasing more blood. He would drink until he was tired of it...but
he didn't think that would be too soon.
Suddenly there was a small voice whispering in his ear, "Mikey...isn't that enough?"
He released her and stood back, holding her at arms length.
"I'm sorry Byn...I..."
"I think you need to go and do what you neede to...okay?" She said, placing her hand over her new wound.
"Yeah...on my way."
Mikey backed out the door and made his way to Gerard's room.
---------
Gerard walked back to his room, he didn't think he wanted to be around anyone else after what
he had just witnesses. Frank was still alive, but not in any since that would matter. He was
now more like a overly large doll that a being of flesh and blood. Izzie had been overjoyed
with him though.
"Mistress, he's so lovely."
"And he's all yours. You can play with him however you like, he is your reward." She had then
bent over Gerard stating that if he had been a good pet, like Izzie, that he would have had a
reward too.
"She can still be yours...if you want her enough."
He shook his head, "no Mistress...only you."
She had smiled at those words, "good Pet."
But now that he was alone again, he just wanted to crash and try to figure this whole thing
out.
When he got to his room his brother was standing by his door.
"Hello Gerard, you said you'd teach me to hunt so here I am!"
Gerard sighed, opening the door to his room and stepping inside.
"Geez Mikes, it smells like you've already eatin' get a grip would you."
He turned to his brother and received a sharp punch to the gut.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!" Gerard bellowed as he bent doubled in pain.
Mikey pulled his head up and looked into his eyes, "that, brother dear, is for hurting Robyn."
Gerard looked up at his little brother, "what the hell do you care for?" he wheezed.
"That doesn't matter, what DOES matter is the fact that Lillith had been lying to you...lying
all along. She is no sweet dear innocent creature. She is sin herself, that that blonde you is
no better."
"Yeah well be sure to tell Robyn that one...I already knew it."
"How can I be so sure, suddenly you believe anything these creeps tell you...like how suddenly
Robyn is a whore."
"But I SAW it."
"No...you SAW what she wanted you to SEE. It's all smoke and mirrors, I bet even her beauty
isn't real."
Gerard looked at his brother, hearing him voice all the things that he had been to scared to
think through.
"Where is she?"
Mikey smiled, "in her room...I'll take you!"
---------
After Mikey left Robyn stood there watching the door, her hand keeping pressure in her wound
so she wouldn't bleed out.
'Guess I can't give blood anytime soon', she thought with a smile. She walked to the bathroom
and began to clean the blood off of her. She washed her neck and stared at the blood on her
dress, thinking to herself that she would KILL for a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. There was no
helping the dress, but her neck was feeling better. She squeezed all the bloody water out of
her rag that she was using and began again when something in the mirror caught her eye.
'Gerard'
She turned and looked at him, he seemed mortified by her.
"Is...is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"That...that you are still..." he swallowed hard.
Robyn frowned, walking toward him.
"Whatever they say I did, it was a lie. I am still just the same today as I was when you first
met me...I've just got less blood."
She smiled at him, "is that what was wrong?"
He sighed, pulling her to him and holding her close, "I'm so sorry Byn. Could you ever forgive
me?"
She gave his a kiss on the cheek, "already done."
---------
Mikey smiled as he closed the door after leaving his brother with Robyn. He would leave them
alone and let them talk. Then the three of them working together would be able to help
everyone...he knew it.
He turned the corner and walked into blonde Gee.
"Well, hello there Mikey! I see that you had a nice little treat from Miss Byn, but why did
you lead your brother in there? And further more why do you look so pale when I mention it?"
He smiled darkly at Mikey, grabbing a hold of his arm, "I think we need to talk to our Mistress
about this, wouldn't you agree?"

Chapter 69!!!!!/fleur de lis
--
Mikey smiled at Blonde Gee "Actually I think our mistress would be pleased to see me!" Blonde
Gee eyebrows knitted together. "What are you playing at?..I SAW you lead him in there!" he
said as rounded on him.
"Indeed I did!" Mikey purposefully pushed past BBG and into the great hall...
Frankie pulled himself up, obviously stronger than he'd allowed himself to appear. "Well?" He
said as he nuzzled against his mistress hand.
"It's done Mistress!! He reacted just as you said he would! They both did! Gerard believes his
little brother is still trying to help him." He smiled broadly, before bending to kiss her
hand. "Thank you for allowing me.." He looked at Frankie for one moment, "Us to prove our
loyalty and usefulness to you, My Lady." His eyes shown with Pride as he turned to Blonde Gee
and snarled.
Lillith used her hands to touch both her new protege. She caressed Frankie's cheek. Frankie
almost convinced her that Izzie had almost broken him. And Michael she thought as she touched
his strong bicep had proved a skillful liar. Both admirable performances.
"Tonight my Children I send you back to your world to hunt!!! Enjoy your feeding!! Strike
Terror in the hearts of men!!"
"Izzie my darling you still are due your revenge. I have not forgotten my promise..Take
Michael and dear Frankie with you. But remember Frankie suffered much for me. Allow him some
fun, make sure he feeds!!!"
"No Mistress I'd much rather stay with you." Even though his invisible bonds were long gone he
stayed at her feet.
"Yes Mistress rather than hunt we would prefer to stay with you!! I wish to replace my brother
in your eyes, perhaps more..." he moved closer to her, and brought the hand she had on his arm
to his mouth and kissed it again.
"Your Mistress Stated her wishes, she grants you permission to FEED!! Go do as she commands!!"
Blonde Gee bellowed obviously enraged with jealousy.
She had known what Michael was doing all along and even staged Frankie's Torture and KEPT it
from him!!! Now these whelps were trying to take his place!!!
Just as his captor had tried to do.
"GO!!! GO!! NOW!!!!" They Laughed at him.
Ray spoke "We go because our mistress wishes it... gee"He said the last disdainfully. BBG was
being replaced and everyone knew it.
Blonde Gee was white with rage!!
"Mistress may I speak to you privately?" Even she seamed amused at him. "Very well... Children
Good Hunting!!" With that they all disappeared.

phew! that took forever to read.
i loved every second.
well maybe not every second, my nose is a little stuffy.
but i loved every word!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they left Gee turned to Lillith, his face red with suppressed rage.
"Why didn't you TELL me about them?"
Lillith smiled calmly at him, "I wanted you to be surprised. Plus, you are terrible at keeping
secrets."
"I thought we were in on this together," he growled.
"But we are my angel. Soon we will both have what we want."
"And what do we want Lillith?"
"My guess dear is that you want that girl," Lillith stated as she walked across the room
toward a large arrangement of mirrors on the wall, "and you shall have her, once I am through
with her."
"And when will that be," Gee hissed walking to her side.
"When I am good and ready to be rid of her," Lillith said, loosing a bit of her cool,
"Besides, what does she have that I don't."
"How about a soul?"
Lillith turned on him, "Oh yes my dear. Let us not forget that without me you'd have long ago
died. You need me more than I need you dear."
Lillith brushed past him, "I might have once needed you, but I have found other ways of
carrying on, ways that are more fun. I don't need you here and if you press me much further
I'll make sure I that I WON'T have you here. Have I made myself clear angel?"
-----------------
Robyn and Gerard were seated in Robyn's room, Gerard in a chair and Robyn on her bed, talking
about what all they had been through...what they had seen.
"It seemed so real," Robyn said breathlessly, pulling her knees to her chest.
"Yeah..." Gerard said distractedly.
"You okay?"
"Fine...but...why didn't you?"
"Why didn't I what?"
"Why didn't you sleep with him...I mean it would have really hurt me...I know I've done enough
to drive you to it..." he looked down at his shoes.
Robyn just smiled, "I wouldn't have no matter what. I made a promise not to."
"To who?" Gerard asked, thinking it was a promise between childhood friends.
"You'll laugh."
"No way...you have to tell me now."
She smiled, "fine, it was to my mother. She said that is was something special, something not
to just give to anyone. She said I should wait for love, and so I will. I guess I always
pictured it being my wedding night, ya know. Pretty cheesy huh?"
Gerard smiled and sat next to her, the old him would have laughed...but not now. "Not cheesy,
I think it is wonderful."
"Yeah, sure you do. Every guy wants to date the girl that won't give them any. Let's not even
mention the fact that she's crazy..."
"You're not crazy!"
"Really...because I didn't NEED Blondie to tell me that you do for me to know its true."
"I don't...I mean I did...but I was a jerk. Look....I'm sorry Byn."
She looked at him, her dark eyes piercing into him, then she gave him a kiss.
"Admitting it is the first step," she said with a smile.
"And the last?"
"Not being a jerk," she said pulling him to his feet, "come on...you have to go. Someone is
bound to come by here soon."
"Okay...we'll meet in my room later to make a plan...okay?"
She nodded as she shoved him out the door.
As he walked toward his room he came across Mikey, who looked worried.
"What's up Mikes?"
"No..nothing Gee...just....the Mistress..I mean Lillith has asked to see you.
"What for?"
"I dunno, just be careful...okay?"
Gerard nodded as he left his brother for his 'Mistresses' chambers.
As soon as Gerard rounded the corner Mikey cracked a wide grin, "Poor Byn...all alone. Maybe
she could use some good company."
-----------------
Gee stood in front of his vanity mirror panting, behind him was the ruins of what had once been
his master's suite. Now all the paintings were in shreds, the chairs kindling, and even his
bed frame was split. Yet he was still mad.
"I'll get her...if its the last thing I DO I'll have her."
He now saw that he couldn't get near enough to Robyn to touch her, let alone anything else.
"That little four eyed freak ruined EVERYTHING," he growled.
Lillith expected him to wait until she was finished, but that wasn't happening. He had once
been on top and he would be again, he just needed a plan.
He looked at his reflection, loathing it as no man should for looking like his
captor...exactly like his captor.
He looked himself over, except for his hair color he WAS his captor. He grinned at his
reflection, then went to what had been his closet and dug out a thing of black shoe polish. He
walked back to the mirror. He would keep this handy, and when he saw the opportunity he'd take
it. Because now, to him, it didn't matter if he cajoled it away, flirted it out of her, or it
was taken. Either way to him this would be a win/win situation.

Chapter 71/fleur de lis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lillith smiled a cat like smile, soon very soon her plans would come to fruition. That blonde
whelp thought entirely too much of himself. She alone controlled all the pieces on the board.
No one not even her pet would stop her from getting what she wanted.

Robyn was indeed special. Lillith smiled had never intended for any real harm to come to her
Lillith needed her in one piece, at-least for now...
Purity even chastity was a VERY rare commodity. Yes, virgins, innocents were available, if you took them young enough. But to find a soul who truly believed, with all sincerity, that her
virginity was not something merely to be thrown away or a hurdle to be crossed, was indeed a
treasure.
That was exactly what drew them to Robyn. The duality of wanting to protect her and yet also wanting to be her downfall. And while most of the young pups surrounding her, still had enough humanity and fear within them to keep respective beasts in check, Her Angel was another matter
entirely.
Her Angel had become a menace, as long as he was tied to his captor he lost some of his strength. Now freed from those bonds he had become a nuisance. Lillith vowed to rectify that
situation.
She had sent for Her Pet. Why then was he not here? He too had become somewhat of a problem recently. Now that he was free of his beasts baser impulses, a nobility began to show through.
If he realized how strong his spirit truly was..Lillith visibly paled at the thought. NO!! She had come too far, suffered too much to have everything slip through fingers!
She looked to the flames in the fire. She had sent Michael to find his brother. Where were they?! She willed the flames to show her.
She saw Her Pet first. He was very near. "Excellent." Next she saw Michael slithering his way towards Robyn's room. She arched one eyebrow. "So you want everything your brother wants? Neither of you will have it. Nor will my Angel. Until I wish otherwise Robyn will remain untainted. But I suppose there's no harm in playing."
She sensed Her Pet approaching. "If you insist on growing a backbone..Perhaps I should let you.." She said out loud to herself.
Gerard entered Lillith's chambers. Knowing now, how she had manipulated him, he didn't think of her as His Mistress. Yet what would he call her?
"Ahh My Pet. I am doing a little, shall we say, housekeeping.? Care to join me?" she looked at the spot next to her on her chase. He knew he couldn't afford to arouse her suspicions, so he sat on the chase, but at her feet.
"Housekeeping?" 'That's it don't call her anything'..he thought to himself.
Ahh the backbone, Lillith smiled a secret smile. She did not miss the fact that, He had not
addressed her as Mistress, nor did he look her in eye. So while he knew more than he let on, clearly he was not ready to confront her at least not yet. She could use that to her
advantage.
"Yes my dearest, but you are entirely to far away from me." Lillith reached for him. He had been sitting on the foot of the chase his feet still firmly planted on the floor. His body turned from her all except his face. Now Lillith had both her hands on his shoulders, her nails digging in slightly. She pulled him back to her, his back against her chest. He could feel heat from her breasts through their clothes.
Gerard didn't understand how he could hate her one minute, and in the next want her so badly.
'Maybe the blonde isn't the beast.', he thought.
The change in his breathing and heartbeat was not lost on Lillith. She knew she had to keep him off balance otherwise, things would become.. difficult. She wrapped her arms around him.
"You know My Pet since I freed you from your encumbrance, You seem to have blossomed. You seem much more sure of yourself."
'If only that were true' Gerard thought as he hung his head. 'I'm not sure of almost anything, except Byn, she wouldn't lie to me.'
Lillith allowed herself a broad smile. She could here his thoughts. 'So if you wanted
honesty...I can certainly enlighten you.'
"My Pet, would you like see the hunt? What the others are up to?" She asked but she really didn't care about his answer. She was going to show him anyway.
"If it pleases you Mistress." He allowed himself the luxury of leaning back against her. She did feel like a little bit of heaven, even though he knew was in hell. His lust was getting the better of him. Besides if he exercised his demons with Lillith he was actually protecting Byn, from Lillith and from himself.
"Then stare into the fire my love, and all will be revealed." Gerard did as he was told, he almost felt that he had no choice.
In the flames he saw Izzie and Frank. They were in the coffee shop that Lillith had first appeared to him in. But they were not sitting together. Instead they seemed to have set up almost a perimeter. The were stalking. Like lions, hiding in the tall grass for hapless prey.
They all seemed to be watching the man with the shortcropped hair, and a beardish thing going on.
He didn't seem to notice. He peacefully drank his coffee, and looked at his watch. "Come on Doc. I'm here what's the deal? I got better things to do than just sit and wait for a shrink."
Bob was getting pissed.
Izzie smiled, this was gonna be fun. She looked at Frank he just winked at her, the game was about to begin.
They all looked up as the little bell above the door tinkled, as the door opened. You wouldn't think a bell that small could sound so ominous.
"Bout time doc. I was getting ready to leave." Bob said as the Dr. approached the table.
"What's this all about?"
"I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I had some things to arrange before our meeting."
"I'm not one of your patients, Doc. Get to the point or I walk out, right now."
"I'm sorry. Did you have some place else to be? I think I've found out why the group, have been having those dreams. If you like I could explain along the way. I could use some exercise anyway. And that way no one will overhear what I have to say."
"Sounds good, but I warn ya, I move pretty fast. You'll have to keep up." Ray smiled,"That won't be a problem." Gerard saw them leave, and Frank and Izzie follow. A feeding frenzy was
about to begin.
"Well it looks as though my new children have embraced their new life. Didn't they all?"
Gerard's eyes showed just a touch of panic. "Mikey? Where was Mikey? I thought you told them all to go hunt?"
"I did indeed didn't I? Perhaps he's found other prey. Would you like me to find him?" Again she didn't care what his answer would be.
"Mikey! Please! Find Mikey!" He tried to sit up but her arms around his throat made that
impossible. The panic in his voice as clear as a bell.
"Relax My Pet, remember nothing happens here, without my knowledge."
Blonde Gee smirked hiding in the shadows near her door. "That's what she thinks..." he whispered ominously. He may not have her powers, but then again, he kept a couple of his own hidden from her. No matter how powerful she became she was still mortal. Gee could wait , he had an eternity to even the score. One day she would grovel at his feet, and beg as she had done before. He silently slunk away to formulate his plans.
Gerard stared into the flames. His brother was just outside Byn's bed chamber. Gerard could
tell by the look in his eyes that Mikey WAS on the hunt. Time stood still.
"It appears our house-guest has a visitor." Gerard struggled to turn himself within her arms.
"Stop him Mistress! Please!! Don't let him hurt Robyn. I'm begging you!!"
Lillith pretended to be torn. Gerard had to find some way to convince her. "But My Pet, I did tell them to hunt..."
"Yes but, Not here. NOT HER! Please I'll do anything, Just don't let him hurt her."
Then Gerard offered her his lips. "Please Mistress?" His breath hot on her cheeks."I'll do whatever you want." He was willing to whore himself in order to protect Robyn.
Lillith had him exactly where she wanted him. She let herself appear to be swayed. "Very well My Pet. But remember I expect your loyalty, or I will not save her next time. It is entirely up to you as whether her stay here is a pleasant one, or her worst nightmare."
Gerard nodded once. "Yes My Lady. I will do as you ask. I will be at your beck and call, as long as You keep Robyn safe."
That backbone was becoming annoying.
"Now My Pet show me how grateful you are."
"Mistress...Mikey?"
" Ahh yes! Michael!" Mikey in the flames stopped as though he could hear her.
"Michael!" She said again.
"Y-yes My Lady?" Damn! He'd been caught. "We do not hunt in our home, Nor do we attack our
house guests, Without My permission!"
"Yes My Lady, I beg your pardon." Mikey bowed slightly at the waist.
"Find other prey in your world."
"But, Gerard has not taught me yet. I don't know how to hunt in the outside world."
"Follow your instincts Michael. You have killer instincts."
"I could go with him My Lady make sure he doesn't draw attention to himself."
"No My Pet. I will not coddle him. He needs to learn to fend for himself if ever wishes to gain more power."
With that thought ringing in his head Mikey stood a little straighter. "I don't Need my brothers help, My Lady I will make you proud of me."
In the blink of an eye he was gone.
"Now My Pet, Where were we ?" She writhed underneath him. Gerard had seen the look in his brother's eye he wanted everything that Gerard had. What a fool! I'd trade it all away, to keep Robyn safe, and get us as far away from Lillith as possible.
"Pet? Are you not grateful? I could always bring Michael back, or give her to your blonder half?"
He didn't say a word he just pressed his mouth against hers. He hated her, and still he wanted her. His body would respond to hers, matching in their lust for one another. At least this way Robyn would be safe.
Lillith felt the anger and hated and lust flowing from her Pet. He would never be free of her as long as she controlled Robyn. Everything was working exactly as she planned.

Oh...I need to post more to this.
*********
Chapter 72/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But as she became distracted with her Pet someone else was going on with plans of his own.
-------
Gee watched as Mikey left Robyn's door, grumbling about how he would one day have EVERYTHING
he wanted.
Yeah right, Gee thought as he sank into the darkness. He would wait for a few moments to make
sure Lillith was good and...occupied before trying out his new disguise. When he was sure that she was he walked to Robyn's door (sporting a new head of black hair) and knocked.
------------
Robyn heard a knock at her door and rushed to answer it. She thought she had heard Mikey out there earlier, but that had been a while ago. She opened the door a crack and saw Gerard
standing there. He looked fearful.
"What are you doing here?"
"Lillith just met with me...she told me something...I think I might need to tell you."
Robyn opened the door and let him in, closing it afterwards. She turned to him, he looked terrified.
"What's happened? Does she know?"
"No...its just...I know why she keeps you here...keeps you safe. You are innocent, and that is fuel for her, but if you lost that."
Robyn took a step away from him, "what are you talking about...I thought I had told you...made you understand how much it means to me."
"Yes but...I thought..."
He looked hurt, Robyn walked closer to him, taking his hands in her own.
"I...I do want to help...we can figure something else out...I know it. You, Mikey ,and I."
He frowned, looking strait into her eyes, "if you love us Robyn...then you will help us."
Gee felt her slip, staring into his eyes becoming hypnotized. She would give in soon.
Vengeance was his.
---------------
Gerard sat next to Lillith later. He felt filthy for what he had done, but he did it for
everyone. To help THEM...right? It still didn't feel right though. He looked at Lillith, watching her as she preened in the mirrors around her.
Such vanity should be a crime.
Watching her he suddenly got a sick feeling in his stomach...something was going on that she wasn't noticing.
"Mistress, could you check in on Robyn for me?"
Lillith rolled her eyes as she came to sit with him by the fire.
"If it will ease your mind my dear,"the fire raged. Inside it they saw Robyn was still in her room, but she was not alone. It looked like maybe Gerard was in there with her, but how could
that be?
"Is that showing the future or something?"
"No," Lillith hissed, "he is there now."
"He?" then it hit him that his blonde brother was taking advantage of the fact that they look alike.
Lillith was horrified by the fact that this was happening without her knowledge, yet she was intrigued to see how far he could go.
"Mistress...please...you have to help her."
"I don't think so...let's see how she does on her own."
-----------
While this was happening Bob was running for his life. Ray had taken him to the park and while they were there he began to tell Bob what all had happened. How this was possibly a reaction to something that had happened in his childhood when suddenly Frank jumped out of no where and tackled the doctor. Bob had stood there shocked as Frank bit into Ray. Izzie walked up soon and joined him. Only after they turned his gaze to him did Bob start to run. By now though he was getting tired, but they were still on his heels.
"Come on Bob.....don't you want to come with us. There are no nightmares now," Izzie taunted as she sped nearer.
"Get back," he panted. He dashed towards the woods in the park, hoping for some cover. In the
trees he seemed to have lost them. He caught his breath, carefully looking for a chance to get away.
He heard a limb snap to his left, he jumped waiting for them to leap out at him, but it was just Mikey.
"Mikey...what happened to you man?"
"What do you mean Bobby?"
Bob cringed at the name, "I mean where have you been? Your mom is worried, you and your brother missing. Not to mention Robyn and Frank..." he paused. Frank had been with Mikey
before they went missing. He took a step back.
"What's the matter Bob? You look kinda sick, but I know the cure."
Bob felt a hand clasp on his shoulder, he turned just in time to see Frank, Izzie, and Ray all closing in on him.
---------------------
Robyn felt dizzy, looking into his eyes as he begged her to give herself to him.
I have to fight it...I can't.
He gave her a kiss, "please Byn...we can save them all together."
"No," she whispered pushing herself away from him, "I won't."
When he heard it he seemed to snap, he grabbed her arms and pulled her to him.
"You WILL do this, if you want to or not."
She pulled against him, "let me go!"
"I think not my dear."
He pulled her closer, burying his face in her neck.
She screamed grabbing his hair and pulling him away. He pulled out of her grip and bit into her. She struggled, trying to get away. She pressed against his shoulders, but it was no use.
She looked down and noticed that her hands had left black marks. She looked at them and saw them covered in black. She looked at his head and saw white fluff. She felt her temperature change, and perhaps so did Gee because he pulled up and looked at her.
"So you get it now...poor girl. You will do this, and you won't like it, but afterwards Lillith won't care for you anymore and it will all be over," he bent over her.
"Please...don't!" A tear slipped down her cheek.
"Too late!"
He bit into her again, drinking in her fear and hate. Her knees gave out after only a moment, and she fell into him. He wrapped her closer to him, he would bleed her dry and then do what he wanted.
--------
In Lillith's room Gerard saw all this happen, and he ran.
-------------

Robyn mean while was blacking out, everything was getting hazy. She had lost feeling in her legs and she didn't know how much longer she could last. Gee pulled her face to his, "ready?"
"Bite me," she whispered harshly. He just laughed, "done and done my dear." He moved backwards with her, taking her towards her bed. She looked down and saw that she was still bleeding badly.
Why won't it stop?
She looked up at him, his eyes full of all she feared. While he walked with her she saw someone move behind him. This shadowy character seemed mad, holding her table lamp above Gee's head.
"Drop her," he said...his voice sounded so far away...why was she still bleeding?
Gee stiffened, but didn't react fast enough. The lamp came down and so did they. Robyn scrambled underneath Gee, trying to still get away. The dark man came closer to her.....what had happened?
"Robyn...come on I am getting you out of here."
She looked up at him...it looked like her attacker again.
"Please...no more," she said faintly, the world spinning away to black.
Chapter 73/fleur de lis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gerard kicked his blonder half out of the way. Gee was not completely out and snarled at him.
"You too late! She's bleeding out! Maybe I won't have her but neither will you! Or Lillith! "
Lillith appeared in the doorway. "You!" She screeched at the blonde Gee. "How dare you defy
me!" Her eyes flashed. Outside lightening cracked so powerful was her fury.
Gerard was busy trying to stop the bleeding. Robyn had lost so much blood. He didn't know what
to do. He started to hyperventilate. Then he heard Lillith's voice. She could save her! If what his blonder half had said was true. She needed to! "Mistress!" He screamed. "She's
bleeding out!! You have to do something! Now !!"

Then something happened no one expected.

From nowhere Frankie, Mikey, Izzie and Ray were all suddenly transported to the great hall as was the two G Robyn and Lillith.
Lillith whole appearance softened. Robyn lay on the floor in a pool of blood. Gerard was next
to her still trying to stop the bleeding. His tears coming so quickly he could barely see.
Lillith threw herself down next to Robyn, and smoothed back her hair. Lillith Red velvet gown began soaking up the blood, it'd be ruined but Lillith paid it no mind. "Child..." She said softy. Gerard had NOT heard that tone in her voice since before the beast was inside of him.
"Save her! " he begged. Lillith looked down at Robyn’s soon to be lifeless body. "She was never meant to be hurt. I just needed her close by, just near, I tried to explain..."
Blonde Gee had regained his strength. He saw Lillith's vulnerability and seized his moment. He came at her and grabbed her by the hair pulling her away from Robyn. "No! You cannot save her! I am Azrael! I am the stealer of souls. You kept me weak!! Bound to that mortal! YOUR PET! You marked me with my captor’s countenance just to amuse yourself!! NOW I am pulling the strings! I am in control. You thought by keeping her safe that your pet would do your bidding when really, YOU were the one that needed her safety.
Now I control whether I take her soul or not! You GROVEL at my feet once again! Just as you did at the beginning of time!! Please me and I may make her passing pleasant! YOURS will not be so!!"
Robyn slowly opened her eyes turning her head just in time to see Lillith's eyes showed her terror. Not for herself but for...

Chapter 74/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not for herself but for Robyn. She pulled against the angel, trying to block Robyn.
"Please Azrael...you can't do this..."
"Can and will Lillith my pet, this will teach you to stay in your place. I let you play with them for a while...but you have taken it too far."
He walked over to Robyn, pulling her into a sitting position and allowing her to rest her head against his shoulder.
Robyn pulled in a ragged breath...trying to talk.
"Let me go," she said weakly.
He chuckled, "I told you I'd get revenge didn't I? This will make us even I think."
He placed his hand on her back, a small spot glowing there and her breathing growing rougher.
"Stop!" Gerard yelled, running to stop him but his brother and Frank held him back.
"Please...I'll do anything, GIVE you anything, just please save her, don't let her go."
Azrael stopped, looking at the boy's sincere face.
He'll regret those words, he thought, I'll make sure of it.
"Fine boy, if that is what you wish then so be it."
He laid Robyn back on the bloody ground, standing over her as her body became still in death.
Gerard screamed falling to his knees.
"Boy...please have a bit of faith. Lillith!" He barked, "bring her back!"
Lillith hurried over to her, placing her hand over her chest. At once the skin began to reform over her wound and a red light was glowing on her chest. Frank watched it remembering faintly that he had once seen someone do something like that before...but he couldn't quite remember when or who it was.
Lillith pulled her hand away from Robyn's chest finally and whispered in her ear for her to wake up. Her chest heaved to life, her eyes flashing open. She was alive again.
Gerard ran to her, holding her close.
"I thought you were gone for good," he whispered.
She held him tight, "it was so dark and cold Rardy...but I felt you call me back."
Their moment was cut short though by Azrael, "Excuse me dear...but you are touching my property."
Gerard looked up at him, "please...just one more minuet and I'll go with you," he pleaded.
The angel smirked, "you flatter yourself. I don't mean you my boy, I mean Miss Robyn. You promised me anything and she is what I pick."
Robyn looked shocked, "but...I..."
Azrael jerked her up and held her close to him, "yes...I think she and I will have a lot of fun together." He grinned, "Lillith, come!"
Lillith walked to his side, following him like a child as they left the room with Robyn. They walked down a dark hidden hallway and locked Robyn in a secret room.
"Azrael…you aren't...going to ruin her are you?"
He laughed, "as long as you are a good girl you can keep her. I have bigger fish to fry."

Chapter 75/fleur de lis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night no one slept in the HOUSE OF WOLVES.
Robyn was taken by Azrael and locked away in a cold dark room. Just as the door closed Robyn looked at Lillith, the look in the older woman's eyes was one Robyn could not quite make out.
It almost looked like compassion, or sorrow. But Robyn thought that surely she must've been mistaken. And yet as the blackness enveloped her she heard Lillith voice thick with fear.
"Azrael…you aren't...going to ruin her are you?" Was it possible that Lillith was actually concerned for her? She could have sworn…Robyn was very weak, the loss of blood was too much for her to take, and soon the blackness was a comfort.
Azrael continued to walk to his former Mistress' chamber. Lillith followed a few steps behind.
He walked to her chase and lounged there. She stood before him her eyes downcast, but hatred raged within her. Azrael raised one eyebrow, he was going to enjoy breaking her once again.
"So my dear we find ourselves doing this dance once again. But the roles seem to be reversed, usually I am dancing to your tune, begging for my freedom. But I think it's your turn."
"What do you want from me Azrael? Over the centuries there is precious little you have not taken?"
She allowed herself one look at him her eyes blazing, before staring once again at her hands.
Azrael did not miss the flash. He rose and advanced on her. Menace clearly in his manner.
"YOU! I want YOU to grovel before me! You have been the creature that god forgot! Shall I remind him of your existence? Any hell I can create for you. But can you bear the sight of God?"
Lillith trembled. His face was very close to hers. His breath hot on her cheeks. She closed her eyes, her breathing ragged gasps. "He has not forgotten, he has ignored. He has not rescued me from your clutches before why should he care now?"
Azrael laughed, it was not a pleasant sound. "You haven't learned a God damned thing! He has punished you!! Abandoned you!! Left you to me!! This is your fate your eternity! YOU will never escape me!!"
Terror stuck Lillith she had no where to go no one to turn to. Azrael held all the cards, she was entirely at the mercy of a creature that had none in him.
As beautiful as he was that was how terrible he could be. And Lillith had angered him. He reached out to touch her hair almost gently. "It time my dear that you learned your place." He whispered to her. Lillith almost fainted. He grabbed her by the hair once again and threw her on to her precious chase.
They others were still gathered in the great hall. They had not known what to do so they did nothing. They started to feel almost as though they had been waking from a dream or a nightmare. And then they heard it, a scream so soul wrenching that, it made your skin crawl.
And the screaming didn't stop. There were pauses now and then, but it never really stopped.
And in between the laughter.
Everyone looked to Gerard. They knew that laugh they'd heard it that day in Gerard's cell.
Azrael was having fun! They could imagine what the poor soul was going through. Michael finally asked the question that most of them were thinking.
"Is it…Robyn?"
"No." Gerard answered "It's Lillith." He whispered it.
He knew it deep in side himself. When Azrael had been inside him Gerard had caught glimpses of their lives together they had tormented one another down through the ages, but never Gerard believed like this.
At that the others started busily chatting. Who was in control now? Who did they answer too?
Izzie spoke up
"Lady protected me I will not help him hurt her."
Ray disagreed "Azrael is stronger. Lillith used us, promised us things. Did you ever get what you wanted?"
Frankie decided, "I will wait and see, Lillith maybe stronger than any of you give her credit for."
Gerard spoke up. "Azrael is powerful. If he breaks Lillith you will, we will have no choice."
The screaming went on for what seemed like hours.
And the longer she screamed the more they began to think about what they all had done. Slowly regret and sorrow began to replace blind ambition and blood lust. Azrael would soon have a revolt on his hands.
Without any of them noticing it the screaming and laughter faded away. Gerard rubbed his head as though he had a headache he alone knew what was coming next.
Azrael appeared within their midst. Proud and full of himself. He saw the budding revolt and knew he had to put a stop to it. He knew just how. Feed their demons and they would all be his.
"Children were you not hunting when Lillith so rudely interrupted you? Were you not at the kill?"
Izzie spoke up her blood lust still simmering, and her need to please burning bright, "We were My Liege!" She was eager to please him.
"My Liege...? I like that!! You were the leader of the hunt were you not?"
"I was My Liege." Izzie almost curtsied.
He smiled at her, "Then finish your hunt and bring me back a new set of hands, and a strong back, we may have need of ...muscle soon." His eyes bore into Gerard's.
"All of you may hunt, except for you. I have special plans for you."
They others all skittered away from Gerard. They wanted no part in Azrael's anger. and off to the hunt they went. Gerard looked at his former inner cellmate. Gerard would not look away.
In-fact he stood a little straighter. He would not bow before this evil. But he also knew the
Azrael controlled Robyn's safety so he would do as he was told, at least for time being.
"What do you want me to do?"
"No title? No respect? Does Robyn mean so little to you?"
"You won't hurt Robyn. If you do you lose."
"Lose? "
"Control over me and apparently over Lillith, although I don't understand why. Either way you want us both subservient to you. Without Robyn you lose that."
"You think you have it all figured out don't you? I can torment Robyn in ways you never dreamt of. Without harming a hair on her head. You don't want her in any undue pain now do you?"
Gerard's eyes flickered for just a moment, Azrael saw his fear, and Gerard knew it.
Azrael snarled, "SOOO we aren't as brave as we appear! I have a job for you. Go to your former mistress. She needs some...help. She is less than presentable, you must make her so. You will also watch her. If she appears to be plotting you are to report to me. Do I make myself clear?
My requests aren't to complicated for you are they?"
"Your orders are plain. I'll do as you ask."
"Excellent! Lillith isn't they only one who needs to learn their place. You have not escaped my wrath boy! Only delayed it."
Gerard had been leaving to do his bidding as Azrael spoke. He got to the doorway he turned to face him. "My Liege? FUCK OFF!!" Azrael laughed long and hard.
Gerard entered Lillith's chambers. There was blood everywhere, Lillith's blood. Azrael had tortured her, apparently for hours. As the blood ran down the walls, Gerard looked around for her. She was no where to be found. Finally he stood very still and heard a faint sob.
Lillith was in a heap near where her chase normally stood.
Gerard looked down at her. He was horrified by what he saw. Her flesh had been torn in spots from her bones. Bite marks riddled her body. Nails marks all across her flesh. And there were spots where there appeared to be what looked like hand prints seared into her flesh. One across her cheek almost as if it had started as a caress. He had obviously used her cruelly, in place of Robyn once again.
As she saw him move towards her at first she saw just his face and screamed again holding her hands in front of herself to ward off another blow. Azrael had been watching from who knows where and they heard his laughter ring out.
Gerard knelt down in front of Lillith his hands in front of himself as if to show her he meant her no harm. Lillith finally recognized Gerard and crawled towards him. He had sat back on his ankles and now Lillith placed her head on his knees. "I...I...am so sor-ry ry!" she sobbed. "I never... meant... for her... to get... hu--rt." Lillith wept bitter tears. "I tried ... to stay...away.... then...to keep her safe...I knew if you...thought...she was in ...danger...YOU...could save ...her...even...from me!!AND FROM HIM!!"
Gerard had started trying to soothe her. He felt compassion for her. He had used her. He had accepted her offer. He too was to blame for the situation at hand. He brushed his hand along
her hair. He was afraid he'd cause her to much pain anywhere else.
"Don't!...I don't deserve even... a small kindness... from you! ...I should have have told
before!!" She wailed. "I should never have let him any where near her or you!"
"Lillith..., Lilly don't worry I have a plan."

Azrael was alone, in the great hall. He could feel her, even now. Her presence at once thrilling and sickening him at the same time.
He strode to Robyn's little prison. He entered it. He could see even in the darkness. Robyn's physical body was still passed out she had stopped fighting to regain consciousness. He could feel Her trying to hide from him.
"I know your here. You cannot hide from me. Not for an eternity. And will keep her for that long! Until you show yourself to me. Until your return...I will give her NO PEACE!!" He heard her voice inside of him. "Leave her be!! She has no part of this!."
"Ahh!! But She does! She hides you from me! Show yourself. And I MAY let her rest awhile." He could feel her presence
nearer. His breath quickened. He felt he'd already waited an eternity. He closed his eyes. She was Near VERY NEAR!


Chapter 76/Izzie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He closed his eyes. She was Near VERY NEAR!
Bob opened his eyes again and Izzie was in front of him.
He jumped even though he knew they would be back for him.
The park suddenly seemed a little darker.
She actually growled at him. Her first solo hunt.
wrong idea, dear
what?
She stopped in her tracks. she scratched the thoughts out of her head. This all took maybe half a second to pass.
Bob grabbed the first thing that came to hand, a largish branch fallen from a tree. He swung
at her. She jumped back just in time, but it still glanced her stomach, scratching open a thin slash of shirt.
She pounced at him. She knocked the branch out of her hand and had him pinned to the ground all in one move. She held his arms above his head and with her other hand, she exposed his
throat.
you won't. are you this easy? turncoat at the snap of someone's fingers? you're not. you weren't. and you won't.
won't hurt him.
Confused, she got up off him and backed off a few paces.
He reached back for the branch.
She was gone before he looked up.
Meanwhile...

Chapter 77/Zombie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile...Gerard and Lillith were still talking together. Gerard tried to tell her of his
plan, but she was against it until he heard her out.
"Please...you ha-ve to hear me out...know why..."
He nodded and consented to listen to her while he cleaned her off.
"It started ages ago...we were together. He helped me regain life when it had left me. I was grateful and I was then his, we were in love, and we thought it was going to be forever. That was fine for a while, but it seemed that he had gotten tired of being with me. Love turned into lust, and I wanted a break, so I left. I was away for a while before I was found. Long enough to get married...have a child. A beautiful girl, the joy of my life. I would have done anything for her. Die for her."
She looked up at Gerard as though that was a clue, but he wasn't in the mood to answer riddles. She sighed as he gently washed her injuries.
"When he found me he told me to come back, but I wouldn't, so he tried to make me. He possessed me so that I would hurt my child when ever she did the smallest thing..."
chipped the dish
"It got so bad that I would pray at night for someone...anyone to help me. Finally someone did. A creature I trusted Moki came to me and said that she could be with the girl and take
her pain away...help her to forget what she must. I was skeptical, I had known that she was with Azrael, but she promised that only she could protect my child at that time. So I let her do it."
Gerard paused, "Moki...you don't call her..."
"Red?" She asked with a smile, "yes...we do."
Gerard looked her over, "so your..."
"Robyn's mother? Yes dear...I am. I picked you because you are strong...you are fierce, you can stand up for what is right and help to save her. I didn't bet on you falling in love...but
that just makes your bond stronger. You WILL save her."
Gerard was speechless, "does she love me?"
"Of course silly boy," she said, becoming a bit more like the Lillith he had known before,
"now...tell me of your plan."

Azrael watched in the dark as Moki , his beautiful Red, came forward, using the girls body as her own.
"I knew you would come to me again," he said to the dark as Robyn's eyes opened to reveal
Moki's lamp like yellow ones instead of her warm brown ones.
"I come only because you have threatened this girl, not for any love of you."
Her words cut like knives, "but Red...I did all of this, just for you."
"If you loved me you would have left this girl and the others be. You have Lillith to play with, enjoy her while you can. Soon she will leave you too and she is to smart to come back again."
He walked to her in the dark, holding her to him.
"Come on Red dear..."
"Don't call me that...only those dear to me can call me that and you are far from that."
"Please Moki...tell me how to make it up to you," he whispered in her ear.
"Can't," she croaked out. Truth be told she wanted him to be with her too, she longed for them to be together.
He let her go and watched as she sank to the floor.
"Fine...see how you enjoy your prison then my dear."
He left the room, storming towards Lillith's room. He wanted to get out his aggression.
"I'M OUT OF HERE!!!"
"YOU WERE LOUSEY IN BED TOO!!!"
Gerard stormed out of the room, nearly knocking into Azrael
"Sorry Sir," he muttered.
"Sir? Come now boy...what is this change for?"
"You were right...she is nothing to me any longer. I am your Sir." He bowed to his new master.
In the doorway to her room, Lillith was hopelessly smiling. This plan just might work.
