Chapter 251 - The Steel Within

"I really do wish Cosmo was here right now, she makes everything seem fine but I cannot drag her into this," she said to herself then raised up and Claudia smiled. 

'Everything will be fine Lilith" she said and the princess smiled. 

'Thanks, Claudia" she replied then patted Claudia on the head and the girl blushed then Lilith looked at the knights who cowered in fear before her. 

'I cannot believe you guys listened to him and stooped so low, this is just wrong what you are doing and you knew that very well he won't kill you just like that, he will use anything against me even you fools" she said and they downed their heads in shame. 

"I don't care anymore I am going to get my father back and that too today," she said and CLauida frowned then Lilith looked at her. 

'Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked and Lilith sighed. 

'I am not sure it is but I don't have any better option right now" Lilith responded and Claudia sighed. 

'This will be harder than I thought, I know that from the beginning and it worries me a lot but it's a risk I am willing to take at this point" Lilith said and Claudia smiled. 

'If this is what you really think is right then I will help you with this no matter what oh and please do make sure that you come out of this perfectly fine because if you don't then Cosmo will kill me and I really cannot afford that" CLuaida said and Lilith smiled. 

'You don't have to worry about that everything will be just fine, I will be fine, Cosmo won't kill you" she replied and Claudia stared at her unamusingly. 

'I am sorry, I beg to differ" she said and Lilith laughed. 

'Relax... a little" she replied and Claudia sighed. 

'Fine I will relax as long as you promise you will be fine that way I won't be killed by a possessive red dragon" she said and Lilith laughed then patted her on the head as she pouted. 

'I promise" she replied then the girl sighed in relief as Lilith looked at the castle and clenched her fists in anger as her eyes glowed and her wings came out as she flew up in the air and saw her father chained up like a dog in the main hall and there were guards around him. 

"My vision, it's adjusting, allowing me to see through things," she thought with a smile then flew back down and frowned. 

'What is it?" Claudia asked. 

'He is badly hurt, I am not sure.... never mind" she responded as she walked to the castle and Claudia sighed. 

'I am coming with you" Claudia said. 

'No you are not, stay here, if I need help I will call to you, I doubt he will attack me" she replied then the girl sighed as Lilith disappeared. 

'I am sorry Cosmo, I just hope you aren't mad, being with you guys is nice" Claudia said to herself with a sigh. 

While Claudia was waiting on Lilith, the girl appeared in the hallway in the castle and hid from the guards. 

'Dad" she said as her eyes widened when she saw a steel rod through his stomach and tears ran down her cheeks. 

"He is going to die if he stays like that a little longer," she said to herself as she hid from the guards and her father's eyes widened when he sensed her presence. 

'Lilith no" he said as he saw her hiding behind a post. 

'She is going to get herself captured" he said to himself as his eyes glowed but he could not use his powers. 

"You," she said as she grabbed onto a guard and he was about to call for the others but she knocked him put and a few others saw as they rang the castle bell and the king smiled as he was in his study and he rushed out as Lilith grabbed one of the knight's sword slashing them but not deep enough to kill them. 

'Stay away from me, I will hurt you, I just want my father" she said and the knights left staring at her. 

'What do you mean by you just want your father?" a knight asked as the other was about to attack her and he stopped him. 

'She is our princess don't you forget that" he said as the knights lowered their swords and she sighed. 

"This is your real king not him, please I don't want to hurt you guys, don't make me, I just want to take him home, this is my real father," she said and they all bowed. 

'How touching" the king said as he came and they all raised up and looked at him in fear as Lilith stood by her father's side and he sighed. 

'You shouldn't have come Lilith" he said and she frowned. 

'I am not going to let you die too, look at what he did to you" she replied as she grabbed onto the steel. 

'Go on pull it out" the king said as he looked at the knights sternly and they stepped back in fear of what he will do to them. 

'Go on Lilith, what are you waiting for huh?" the king asked as she held the steel firmly and the king laughed. 

'Aww, how sad you can't do it, do it or I will" the king said and she frowned as her father looked at her and she pulled it out as he screamed and his blood dropped on the floor and she gasped. 

"It's fine, I will heal, get out of her Lilith," he said and she scoffed as she chopped the chains off of her father and helped him up. 

'You really think I will let you leave here?" he asked and she looked at him as her father's blood fell on her clothes and she sighed then closed her eyes and called out to Claudia who heard her and gasped. 

'Lilith" she called out as she flew into the castle through the balcony and kicked the king down to the ground and he laughed then stood back up as the girl grabbed onto Lilith's father. 

'Take him to Cosmo now" she said as a blue lining formed around Claudia and her father and as they were about to disappear the king grabbed his sword and was about to stab her father but Lilith came in the way grabbing onto the sword as it cut her hand and her father looked at her as they disappeared and Lilith smiled wickedly. 

'You really are just like your mother" he said and she kicked him away then jumped and slashed him across his stomach with her sword and he started bleeding. 

'You have gotten fast" he said and she scoffed. 

"I have, you... how can you even live with yourself huh?" she asked and he scoffed then grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the stomach and she coughed up blood. 

"You are weak, you usually put up more of a fight, why? what's the matter with you?" he asked and she scoffed as she raised up and passed her sword through his stomach then kicked him into a wall. 

"What's with this guy?" she asked as she noticed he was healing really fast and no matter what she did, he could not get hurt. 

"What are you wondering?" he asked as her head started spinning and he laughed as a chin appeared on her arm and she gasped as he walked to her and grabbed her by the chin raising her face up to look at him and he smiled. 

'Poor LIliht, always trying to do the right thing" he said then slapped her to the ground and she laughed. 

"You really think that I will let you win?" she asked as her eyes started glowing black and he gasped as he felt a huge surge f energy coming from the girl's body as she stood up then Claudia and Lilith's father appeared in the living room back home. 

Upon seeing them Cosmo and the others flung up from the couch and Cosmo grabbed onto Lilith's father then placed him to lay on the couch as Rex sat beside him. 

"Heal him and Claudia what happened?" Cosmo asked as Claudia's hand trembled and she grabbed the girl by the arm. 

'Where is Lilith?" she asked. 

"With the king..." she responded and Cosmo released the girl's arm then closed her eyes as her body started glowing and Claudia grabbed onto her. 

"What?" she asked. 

'You cannot go, you will only give him what he wants, you have to stay put, Lilith will get out of this on her own" she responded and Cosmo smiled. 

"Sounds like something she would say not you Claudia," she said then disappeared and at the same time Liliht's dark energy release from him body blew a whole into the castle wall and the king laughed as he tried to grab her but the punch she gave him shattered his ribs though it did not do much damage. 

'She is getting stronger, the more stronger the better though, this way she would be of use" the king said to himself as a blue sword appeared in his hand and he smiled as his body glowed bright blue. 

'You know you mother pleased with me to spare you" he said and her eyes widened as they trembled and she clenched her fists in anger as she disappeared nad he gasped as he looked around and could not see her she punched him from behind sending him flying outside of the castle and into the streets of the city but he sank his sword into the ground holding himself up from falling.
