.VINCENT HART & LILITH ARONOV
// #b1a27e & #8597c6
Vincent wanted to scream, but the heart in his throat made it hard to do so.
“W-we should try and s-stop it,” he murmured, not entirely sure if his words were his own. He loosed his grip on Emery’s arm and upon noticing Roxy struggling with her bandages silently moved to her aide. His hands weren't steady, but his vision wasn't clouded with tears, and he supposed that was a plus.
Lilith could only roll her eyes, “Nooo,” she drawled out sarcastically, “Let’s have the fucking demon run loose. Oh, and while we're at it, why don't we invite it to your birthday party?” Vincent could be an idiot sometimes, but she supposed it was part of his charm. “Which, by the way, I was never a part of if we’re questioned.” Her gaze scanned everyone throughly as if making a point. Vincent nodded his head solemnly, having finished with Roxy's bandages as best as he could.
Lilith was about to add more to her sentence when she felt a pressure around her waist and chest. ‘What the fuck.’
She looked up and a mop of pink and blonde hair obscured her vision. ‘Jane,’ she thought numbly. Before she could yell at her however Jane let go and commented on her wellbeing before yelling at everyone else. ‘Nice to see where her priorities are.’
More screaming the background however reminded both Lilith and Vincent that they should probably find out what the hell the demon was doing, and so with a running start they both grabbed whomever they could and began to run.
What was that one movies slogan again? Oh right, ‘we’re all in this together.’ — that was until questioning began and then Lilith would be gone like the wind.
Vincent felt as though his lungs were going to give out at any moment, but Lilith herself had never felt more alive. Was she an adrenaline junkie? Perhaps, but when life was so boring who could blame her?
They arrived at the field where the demon loomed over the students with a menacing gaze. It held fire in its talon-like claws and a grin that was reminiscent of a crescent moon. With a flick of its wrist it set multiple hurdles on fire as well as a few students who — to their better judgment — stop, dropped, and rolled.
“Luca, you asshole, do you still want to ask if it can make you unafraid of heights?” She had stopped on the running track, a good one-hundred fifty yards away from where the Demon resided. Vincent looked at him in worry, wondering if he would say yes but a large badly aimed fireball had him ducking.
Taking out her phone Lilith then opened her camera app and began to take photos with a mad kind of glee. Blackmail material, or perhaps evidence. She wasn't sure which one she preferred.
“How do we, um, unsummon a demon. . . .” He hadn’t heard Luca respond to Lilith’s question, but at this point in his very young life, he didn’t particularly care. Maybe they had to fulfill a request? Sacrifice someone? Call up an exorcist? But if worst came to worst they would die - which, if he was being honest, wasn’t the worst way to go.
He could, for example, be dying alone.
