Lilith Grim
"Lights out ya monster's" A thick accented gruff voice echoed through the rusty steel walls of the hallway. Lilith glared at her bared door from her cot, she knew who's voice that was. Adair, one of seemingly many guards that have tried to molest her in her sleep. He is one of the only ones to survive her counter attack but came out of it with a dead arm. He whistled a tune Lilith was unfamiliar with and finally made his way to infront of her cell. His thinning dark red hair and piercing blue eyes looked harsh under the bright white lights of the fluorescent bulbs. He glared back at her, mouthing something that she didn't catch and then moved on, continuing his whistling. Bastard.
Once his whistling faded the hallways went dark, the only light being a small red bulb on the security camera. Tonight was the night, they were finally going to get out of here. Under the circumstances it was saddening. The scientist's had decided to kill the second generation of children today. Lilith had heard them say that the children's powers were 'weak' and 'insignificant' to the first generation's powers, aka Lilith and the rest of her age group. The fact that there way of escaping was for Lilith to use the bodies of the dead children to release them made her stomach churn but she knew that tonight was the only chance they would get cause by morning the children's bodies would be burned to ashes. No evidence of them ever being there. Lilith glanced at the clock on her light blue cell wall. It always surprised her that the scientists made them somewhere nice to live instead of an old, rundown house. She noted that it was midnight.
Its time.
Folding her legs underneath her on the bed Lilith imagined the still, cold bodies of the children and willed them to rise. She pictured them moving in a group, silently coming towards their cell wing. She sent one little blonde boy to get the keys from a sleeping guard. Quin was a fat and lazy man who didn't move from his post outside their cell wing, that is until Lilith and the other girls go for their shower's to which he always volunteers to 'watch' over them. Fucking pervert. Lilith commanded the boy to take Quin's knife them slice his neck. Lilith mentally saw through the boy's eyes as the blade slashed through Quin's fat throat then plug into his head. Instant kill. The little boy took the keys, dropped the knife and went back to the door. From her cell Lilith heard the sound of the big steel door being opened. She imagined them walking to each cell and unlocking it. Lilith heard the sound of her cell door being unlocked. She opened her now blazing stormy silver eyes and stood from the bed, grabbed the small brown backpack she had, which had the three outfits she owned and all the money and wallets she had stolen. She shot power into her bracelet making her scythe appear in her hand, the long intimidating blade seemed to curl protectively above her. Lilith left her cell and she saw the other's. The dead children crowded around Lilith but she didn't mind cause they were short and even though they were dead Lilith had a soft spot for children.
"Come" Was all Lilith said as they started to move forward, the children in front of the group of young adult's, keeping watch and making sure there were no guards or scientists. An uneasy feeling churned in Lilith stomach as she saw the exit. The door she had only come through once in her life. Once as entrance now an exit. Yet it all seemed to easy. Usually the hallways were crawling with guards and white coated people, yet not now. Why not now?
"Shit" Lilith cursed quietly and stopped. The children halted in the foot steps.
"I think they know our plan and I believe those bastards are waiting outside for us" Lilith said, concern lacing her voice. It was a full moon tonight so she knew they all would be at their strongest yet also the fact that these people have been studying them for year's. They know all of their weakness. Breathing in a deep calming breath Lilith started to walk again bracing herself for a fight, her hands gripping her scythe so tightly her knuckles were white. The group stopped at the door and Lilith made the children go first, making them run. She instantly heard the sounds of gun fire. She mentally saw the children fall but made them rise again.
"Shit its Lilith!" she heard a female voice shout then some panicking noises.
"Stand your ground men!" the same female voice commanded. Lilith urged the children forward, she heard more gun fire but this time she was prepared, making sure they stayed on their feet. She mentally commanded them to attack as they slipped through the guards defenses. Lilith was looking through the eyes of a small brunette girl, whom swiftly attacked a male guard Lilith didn't know. The girl bite hard into the man's leg with razor like fangs, giving Lilith the impression that the little girl was once a vampire. Lilith watched with sick satisfaction as the children started ripping into the guards.
"We should go, now" Lilith said calmly, opening the thick steel doors to the outside.
"LOOK!" she heard someone shout and turned to see Adair and him pointing his meaty finger at her and the group. A snarling voice left Lilith's lips as the pulled back in anger. Seconds later she ran the black blade of her scythe through the man, cutting him in half vertically. The pieces fell sideways allowing his inner's the gush and drop, spilling out of him. Lilith glared at the body of the fallen man then smiled as she saw his soul fluttering away, she grabbed it the yellow orb like species glowing it her hand. With a flex of her finger's she crushed the orb. Now that man will be forever stuck in a dark abyss between heaven, hell and earth. Lilith rushed back to the group.
"If we get separated we most promise that we will all meet in the nearest town" Lilith said sternly. A chorus of 'I promise' echoed through the group. Lilith nodded her head then shot around looking at the group of guards and scientists. Gripping her scythe tightly Lilith shot forward.
Lilith took in harsh, deep breaths as she tried to calm her racing heart. She has never run that fast or that long in her life. Bending over she put her hands on her knees and tried to catch her breath. She didn't know where she was or where anyone else was for that matter. Glancing around all she saw were taller, imposing ever greens. It was still dark out and Lilith could barely see ten feet in front of her. Finally catching her breath she stood straight. Hopefully she had ditched those guards that tried to follow her. With her heart still racing Lilith moved forward, she will admit she was exhausted. Using that many child had tired her out. She walked over to a large tree with low hanging branches and started to climb up. She made it to the fourth branch until she stop. It was thick and would hold her up fine. Thank goodness she didn't toss and turn in her sleep. Her eyes started to close until she heard a twig snap and shot up. Looking around Lilith's eyes snapped to a shadow. Worry coursed through her cause she didn't even have the energy to bring forth her scythe. But when the shadow came into the moonlight Lilith relaxed.
"Eric, thank goodness" she breathed softly as she hopped out of the tree and tackled the man in a hug.
