Lilith finally pulled away from my embrace and pointed down at my midsection. At first, I thought she was pointing to my groin. I figured she wanted to drown her sorrows in some lovemaking, but I thought that would be in poor taste after everything we had just been through. I was about to shoot her idea down gently…until I realized that she wasn’t pointing at my crotch, but instead at my left pocket.At first, I was a little confused by what the young woman was after, but then I reached into the pocket of my jeans and pulled out the white card with Kaede’s name and number on it. I held it out in the open for the both of us to see with a quizzical look on my face.“Telephone,” Lilith finally spoke. She then pointed to the north end of the house. I knew she was trying to tell me about the bedroom at the other end of the hallway.This whole time, there had been a telephone in Antenora’s bedroom. I should’ve seen that one coming.I took Lilith’s right hand and brought her with me as we made our way down the long hallway. There were rugs on the floor across the entire stretch, and old black and white photos in antique frames hung on the walls. As we made our way to the opposite end of the hall, I didn’t even bother poking my head into the room in between. I didn’t care what was in there since I finally had a way out of this nightmare. Of course, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t half-expecting some undead monster to come hurtling out at us from the doorway in order to provide us with one final jump scare.No such thing happened, though, and we made it to the bedroom at the end of the hallway without a hitch. Antenora’s room reminded me a lot of my grandparents’ bedroom. Everything found within from the furniture to the bedspread was from a bygone era. There were knickknacks throughout the bedchamber that were older than Lilith and I combined, and a few magazines sat on a nightstand that were dated with a year I had also not seen in my short life. Walking through the room felt like stepping into a time capsule from an age long before I had been born.Another nightstand sat on the other side of the twin bed. I made my way around the furniture and walked up to an old candlestick rotary phone. I picked up the earphone and held it up to my right ear while using the index finger of my left hand to begin painstakingly dialing Kaede’s number. I knew I should have been calling the law, but Lilith had convinced me that calling my old friend was in my best interest. I had no idea why, but I knew I could trust Kaede.After what felt like an eternity, I heard a voice through the earphone greet me. “Hello?”My voice became lodged in my throat. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I hadn’t seen Kaede since I was nineteen years old…and now I was hearing her voice during one of the strangest times in my life. I didn’t have the words for her when I needed them most.“Hello?”“Ka…Kaede?”There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. I felt like that eerie lack of sound was trying to piece things together. After a long pause, the voice finally questioned, “Marcus…?”I smiled as Lilith did her best to listen in while sitting on the bed near where I was kneeling. “Yes! How…how did you remember my voice?”“Marcus? How the hell did you get this number? Where the hell are you? How…how the hell have you been?!”I placed a hand on Lilith’s right thigh as I gazed up at her and flashed her a reassuring smile. “Kaede, I don’t know how the hell fate brought us back together after all these years, but I have a crazy story for you! Granted, I can’t tell you about it right now, but I just came across your number in the most bizarre and random way imaginable…and I just had to call you before anyone else!”The raven-haired woman on the other end of the line was just as stunned as I was. She was quiet for a moment before asking me, “Do you know what number you’ve called me at, Marcus?”I guess I hadn’t really given it any thought. I just assumed that the phone number I was calling belonged directly to my old friend, so when I had started running my fingers through the rotary dial, I hadn’t planned on speaking to anyone but Kaede if I received an answer. I didn’t think fate would’ve dropped her number in my lap and then allowed someone else to answer the phone.“Marcus, I don’t think we should exactly talk right now. I want to catch up with you – really, I do – but now isn’t the best time for that. Where are you? Is there somewhere we could meet?”“Um, that’s kind of the crazy thing, Kaede. I don’t have any idea where I am.”“Excuse me?”I glanced at Lilith again and wondered how much I should tell my old friend on the other end of the line. “Well, since the last time I saw you, a lot has happened in my life. I’ve been all over the place, and recently, I ended up at a farm out in the middle of nowhere. I would love to give you directions since my pickup broke down, but I don’t have any way of telling you…”Lilith suddenly reached down and snatched the earphone out of my hand from where I squatted in front of the nightstand. She then leaned over and grabbed the “candlestick” part of the phone so she could hold the mouthpiece closer to the bottom half of her face. “Kaede…?”My face scrunched up in puzzlement as I leaned in closer toward the young woman so I could listen to what was being said. After Lilith spoke my old friend’s name, I heard Kaede respond, “Lilith? Is that you?”The blue-skinned beauty nodded as she said, “Daddy’s…my dad is dead.”I noted how the second part of that sentence sounded like the Lilith from old on the homemade movies.There was a long pause until I finally heard Kaede respond, “I’m so sorry, Lilith. I wondered why it had been so long since I had heard from any of you.”Lilith sat on the bed with her head down and waited a few seconds before muttering, “She’s dead, too.”Again, there was another pause until Kaede asked, “Lilith, would you be able to put Marcus back on the phone?”Lilith Sex hikayeleri did what was asked of her and handed me everything I required. I listened through the earphone once again while saying, “Kaede, I’m not exactly sure how you know Lilith and the others…”“Marcus, listen to me: I’ll be there first thing in the morning. I know exactly where you are. I passed through the area about five years back and met Albert. I’m not sure what’s been going on since then, but it’s vital that you keep that girl safe. Don’t let anything happen to her, you hear me?”I nodded even though Kaede couldn’t see my response. I then asked her, “How do you know where we are…?”“I’ll be there in the morning, Marcus. Until then, just sit tight. All will be explained when I arrive, okay?”My mind was completely blown. I don’t recall how long it took me, but I finally responded, “All right. I’ll see you then.”“Goodnight, Marcus.”“Goodnight…Kaede.”I couldn’t believe I was going to see my old friend again. *It was an unusual and awkward night to say the least. Knowing that a dead body was just outside the house was strange enough, but lying naked with Lilith on my bed in the guest room after everything we had been through was the icing on the cake. We didn’t do anything that night except hold one another. To be honest, I’m not even sure I slept a wink that night.Around five o’clock in the morning, I told Lilith we should get up and take a quick shower. She agreed and we climbed in together in order to rinse off and prepare for the day. It was difficult to not look at her in an impure manner while bathing, but I avoided my arousal even when she reached for it a few times since I knew we had things to be ready for. As much as I wanted to take her in my arms and love her, I fought temptation so we could be ready for Kaede’s eventual arrival.We had some rather bland oatmeal for breakfast since neither of us were exactly in the mood to make something more elaborate. We then sat at the kitchen table after finishing in silence for a good fifteen minutes until we heard something outside.After all these years, I knew she was returning to my life.I told Lilith to follow me as we exited through the front door and made our way down the decaying steps. Both of us glanced at the stack of wood piled over Antenora’s body and were half expecting her to be gone. This wasn’t a horror movie, though, and she was right where I had left her less than twelve hours earlier.I led the way across the dirt lot and toward the thin roadway between the trees that had been blocked off by my pickup. The sun wasn’t even completely up yet, but the headlights from the van on the other side of my old clunker lit the path. My shoes crunched on the gravel as I walked toward the running vehicle not more than thirty feet away from me. My heart raced as I held Lilith’s right hand and told her to be careful since she was barefoot as usual.Was I truly about to reunite with Kaede under such outlandish circumstances after seven years of being apart…?The driver’s side door of the van opened and a woman of almost five and a half feet stepped out. She had raven tresses that were possibly darker than Lilith’s, and her skin was just as tan as it had been all those years earlier. Her clothes were tight fitting, and it was dreadfully obvious that she was just as able-bodied as she had been back when the two of us went on our impromptu ghost hunt. Just laying eyes on the marvelous woman brought memories surging back to me as I recalled the good times I had shared with her…“Marcus Veovin…as I live and breathe!” Leaving her vehicle running, the dark-haired beauty rounded my old pickup and darted toward me. She lunged into my waiting arms as we reunited on the spot with Lilith watching.I spun my old friend around once before setting her down and then turning to face the blue-skinned angel standing behind me. I cleared my throat and then made the mistake of forgetting that the two already knew each other. “Lilith, this is my old friend, Kaede, and Kaede, this is…”“I know who this is,” the alluring and toned woman cut me off. She looked stunning in her black, skintight t-shirt and matching jeans and jacket. She then smiled as she took a step toward my blue-skinned compeer and placed an arm around her in order to pull her close. “How you doing, kiddo?”Lilith didn’t have any words for my old friend. She allowed Kaede to hug her, but said nothing.I had so many questions and absolutely no idea where to begin. I decided to just start with whatever came to my mind first as I glanced at Kaede’s black van and then back at her. “Did you come alone?”“For now…yes.”I wasn’t sure what that was supposed to mean, but I motioned toward her vehicle and queried, “Is that the style for girls your age, or is that a company van?”Kaede was no stranger to my sense of humor. It may have been a little over seven years since the last time we had seen each other, but it seemed like it had been no more than seven days. “That’s a company van. I tend to stick to cars for my personal vehicles…cars that look like hearses, mind you.”Yup. She definitely still had the same morbid sense of humor…and she apparently still enjoyed the strange, dark, and mysterious. I decided it would be best to follow up my previous query by asking, “So, what kind of company has you driving around in a vehicle that makes you come off as a mortician?”Kaede simple grinned as she replied, “Do you suppose we could find a better place to talk than this? I’ve been driving all night to get here, so I could use a comfortable couch or recliner or something!” *The three of us sat in the living room on the ground level of the late Antenora’s house. I had whipped up some hot cocoa for Kaede, and Lilith had shown me where to find some marshmallows for it. The blue-skinned beauty had opted not to have any of the thick, chocolatey liquid, and Sikiş hikayeleri if I’m being honest, I was too anxious to even think about a beverage.Kaede kicked back on the couch and made herself comfortable. The sun was finally starting to come up as a bit of light filtered in through the window behind her. It made her look just as dazzling as she had looked at nineteen…if not better. Like a fine wine, the dark-haired beauty had become better with age.When Lilith and I had led my old friend into the house, I hadn’t pointed out Antenora’s body. I wholeheartedly trusted Kaede, but I figured she needed to hear a few other things before I dropped the tale of a dead woman in her lap. It may have been in poor taste, but I figured the deceased crone would be right at home in the back of Kaede’s van since it looked like it was used to haul around bodies.I couldn’t help but notice that even though Kaede had looked genuinely excited to see Lilith, my blue-skinned angel appeared less than thrilled by Kaede’s sudden emergence. I wasn’t sure why that was, but I was determined to find some answers. From my time spent with both women, I knew that they were both good people…so it bothered me that Lilith could possibly have some pent-up animosity toward my old companion.After taking a sip of her hot cocoa, Kaede’s face crinkled up as she leaned forward to set the mug down while holding a hand up to her mouth. “Oh, that’s hot!” She then laughed at her own comment and rolled her eyes by adding, “I guess that’s where the ‘hot’ comes from in the name, huh?”I chuckled along with her. I wondered where to possibly begin with everything that had befallen me in the time since I had last seen the fit and lithe woman.Kaede looked around the room as if she had been in it before and was trying to see if it had changed in some subtle way. Her eyes landed on Lilith for the briefest of moments before once again finding me as she asked, “So, Marcus…how did you manage to find yourself all the way out here?”I wasn’t sure how much Kaede needed to know. The last time I had seen her, we had just graduated and had our entire lives ahead of us. As crazy as it sounds, we had spent one of our summer nights scoping out a supposedly haunted cabin…and after finding actual evidence of the paranormal, the raven-tressed beauty up and disappeared from my life. I was convinced she had gone off to become an expert ghost hunter or some such. I doubt there’s much money in such an occupation, but Kaede had always lived life in a much different way than most others. My old friend followed her own set of rules and would never let anyone tell her what to do.As Kaede pursued her course in life, I chased my own destiny. I took a year off from school and worked a couple of jobs while dating a couple of wonderful girls…not at the same time, of course. There was a night and day difference between the two I dated that year, but they were both fantastic in their own charming ways. While I hadn’t seen either of them in years, it dawned on me in that very moment that I would love to catch up with the both of them just as I was now doing with Kaede.After that first year, I ended up in college for a year and then lost a chunk of time to something I’ve mentioned more than once but prefer not to talk much about. Directly after that enlightening but terrifying adventure, I had a little therapeutic time to myself before ending up in the loving and wonderful arms of Eve. That relationship spanned a good two years and acted as a precursor to the last couple of weeks. When I finally answered my old friend’s query, I simply said, “I needed to get away from things and decided to just drive…and after a week of being on the road, I ended up out here.”“And your pickup broke down just outside?” Kaede asked as she pointed in the direction of where my old clunker sat in the middle of the path.“Yup.”“It’s like fate brought you here,” Kaede said as she took a quick glance at Lilith. When her eyes were back on me, she asked, “How did you get my number, Marcus?”I shook my head from where I sat on an old, cushioned chair across the room from Lilith as I chortled, “You’re not going to believe this, but I was cleaning up after dinner last night when I saw a card with your name on the refrigerator in the kitchen.”The raven-tressed woman nodded as if she had been expecting such a response. “Marcus,” she then spoke up, “I think we both have a lot to catch up on, but I’m going to be straight with you since I always liked you back in the day. I feel you have the right to know, and in order for any of this to make sense, I have to go back in time a bit.”I sat back on my chair after exchanging glances with Lilith. I could see that my blue-haired compeer still looked leery of Kaede, but I knew she had to trust her in some small way since she had allowed me to call her. I still wondered what the story was there as I turned my attention back to my old friend and allowed her to speak.“Marcus, after you and I had that ‘encounter,’ I decided to travel the globe in search of other ghosts from the past. I wanted to prove to the world that the paranormal exists on some fundamental level, so I went out east and took our findings to one of the greatest universities on the continent. It was there where I met other people who shared my passion for finding ways to communicate with the ‘other side,’ and we formed a short-lived group known as the ‘Paranormal Investigators Supernatural Squad.”Thinking about the acronym, I couldn’t help but sarcastically grin as I chortled, “I can see why the group didn’t last long.”“I thought you would get a kick out of that,” Kaede responded with a laugh of her own. “Trust me; when I wrote the name down after Shay suggested it, I crumpled it up and tossed it directly into the trash can! By ‘short-lived,’ I mean all of five seconds!”I laughed and looked in Lilith’s direction to see her response. She hadn’t Erotik hikaye even cracked a smile.“As it was,” Kaede went on, “We formed a small group of five investigators known simply as ‘the Occult Fans.’ We didn’t advertise what we were doing since we were all well aware of how closed-minded most people are, so we were only known to a select few. Still, word circulated of what we did amongst the people who needed to know, and we ended up being asked to explore quite a few different places that were said to have a history. Our reputation grew as we did so, and eventually, we were being asked to journey to some of the most supposedly haunted places in the world.“Five years ago,” the raven-tressed beauty went on as she turned her gaze toward Lilith, “My crew and I were passing through this area and were enjoying breakfast in a small diner located in a village not far from here. It was there where we met Albert Vinsfield. Again, it’s not like we advertise what we do, but somehow, Albert seemed to pick up on the fact that we deal with all things…supernatural.” Kaede peeled her eyes off Lilith long enough to look at me again as she added, “Albert approached us and asked if we’d be willing to come out to his place and have a look at his daughter. We weren’t exactly sure why he’d want us to, but we decided to humor him…and that’s when we met Lilith here.”I gazed at the blue-skinned beauty across from me and saw her frowning. Just by looking at her face, I could tell that Kaede was telling the truth.“It’s the strangest thing, Marcus,” Kaede went on as she looked the other female in the room over. “I’ve heard stories about them that date back nearly two thousand years, but never once during any of my investigations have I ever encountered one. I’ve always believed them to be real, but like the ghosts and spirits I seek out, they’re so rare that seeing one defies all logic. Think of how astounded I was when Albert brought us here and I finally met one in the flesh!”I wasn’t sure that I followed my old friend. “Met what, Kaede?”“An actual demon, Marcus! A real-life fiend in the flesh!”When I realized that the alluring and toned woman was referring to my blue-skinned angel, I became a little peeved as I shot back, “Kaede! What the hell are you talking about? How can you say such a…”“It’s true, Marcus.”I was caught off guard when the reply came not from my old friend, but from my new one. I glanced over at Lilith with my jaw hanging open.Tears began to well in the young woman’s eyes as she confessed, “What she says, Marcus…it’s true. I am a spawn from the underworld…and I somehow managed to find my way to this world when I was very young.”My mind whirled with emotions as I tried to process what was being told to me. I couldn’t seem to comprehend the fact that my angel was telling me she was a demon…a forthright and sincere fiend from the pits who defied all faith and logic. And she did so in her old, normal tone of vernacular. She gave me a confession straight from her sweet lips…“From what Albert told me,” Kaede interrupted my thoughts, “He was working out at his old shed in the woods one day over two decades ago when he heard a sound. He had built the shed far out in a clearing due to the fact that an old map he had stumbled upon years earlier marked a well on that spot, and as he exited his workspace and turned his eyes toward it, he saw a small child crawling out of it…a small, blue child.“Being the loving man he was, he instantly took the child in as his own and raised her to the best of his ability. While he worked his land, he found time to homeschool the girl and teach her about the outside world with hopes of one day showing it to her and integrating her into it. He did everything he could to prepare her for a life without him one day…because he knew that he wasn’t going to live forever since he was already well into his sixties when he first met her.”I didn’t mean to cut my old friend off, but I couldn’t help but laugh ironically as I interrupted, “Just because Lilith crawled out of a well doesn’t mean she’s a…”“But I am, Marcus,” Lilith told me in a stern tone. “I’m a fiend from the depths…and the only reason you fell in love with me is because I bedazzled you with my innate abilities. I didn’t mean to, but sometimes it just…happens.” The blue-skinned beauty buried her face in her hands and began to sob.I sprang to my feet and was across the room in a heartbeat. I knelt beside the young woman and placed my arms around her while pulling her close. It didn’t matter if I believed her confession or not: I truly loved Lilith and wanted nothing more than to protect her.“I gave Albert my number and told him to check in every once in a while,” Kaede went on as she watched me do my best to calm the girl. “He was well aware that my expertise lies in the spirit world, but he thought that I could maybe make some sense out of how Lilith came to be in our world and how she was able to exist beside us…in harmony.“As we all know, Marcus, demons – or fiends, whatever you prefer to call them – are all inherently evil. All they want is to overrun the world and usher in an age of complete darkness. They don’t want to coexist with us…they want to torture and decimate us. Anyone who believes in any type of god or gods tends to follow this credo…and yet, Lilith’s very existence here disregards that very philosophy.“When he found her, Albert claimed she was the sweetest little girl. He told me – with a smile on his face – that the day Lilith came into his life was one of his happiest. He told me that as the years passed and he raised her to womanhood, he had never been more proud of anyone or anything in his entire life. He said that while she was growing up, Lilith was always a perfect little angel, and if it ever came down to it, he would be willing to give his life for her.”And he did just that in the end. I was sure that Kaede wasn’t aware of that little tidbit yet, and I wasn’t about to bring it up. We had told her that the older couple was deceased, but we hadn’t gone into detail. I thought about that as I continued to coddle the blue-skinned angel while she cried in my arms. To me, she was still exactly that: An angel.
