Chapter 254 - Good Company

"Lilith" Rex called out and she looked at him. 

'What's the matter?" she asked. 

'What way are you talking about exactly?" he asked and she downed her head then he gasped. 

"No, no no this is not what we talked about he shouted and she jumped. 

'Keep your voice down please Rex, I have no other way" she said and he scoffed. 

'No I cannot agree to this no matter what, please don't Lilith, you will kill yourself" he replied and she looked in the mirror. 

'There are reasons why I can hear him when he called out to me, it's not magic, it's a strong connection between me and the king" she said and he left staring at her in confusion. 

"What are you talking about? I don't understand" he replied and she sighed then smiled. 

"You don't have to understand, if I live he might too, I have more than one ways to kill him, you need to relax a little, stop fretting it else you will gain Cosmo's attention, something that I really do not want," she said and he downed his head then she frowned. 

'I am so sorry Rex, I told you not to get involved but you were too stubborn to even listen to me" she said and he smiled. 

"I know just try to be alive.. well remain alive that's all I am asking you for" he replied and she smiled. 

'I promise I will try remaining alive" she said and he smiled then hugged her tightly. 

'I will go check on Cosmo, you guys should have some fun, it's getting late, already night, also Cosmo finished setting up for the date of Vivian and Ash, it's at the beach, it's a long night, go get some fresh air" he said and she smiled then he left. 

'He is right" she said as she sat down on the bed and remembered the way the king would hit her with the whip and she jumped as tears ran down her cheek and she looked up and saw Cosmo's bright light coming from the beach as she got up and went into the balcony. 

"I wonder if i am destined to have happiness?" Lilith asked. as she remembered how her back turned back of the whip and she frowned as her father came into her room. 

'Lilith" he said as he touched her and she jumped in fear then sighed and he smiled. 

'Sorry I just..." she said and he patted her on the head. 

"No need to apologize, it's totally fine, you okay?" he asked and she hugged him tightly then he smiled and patted her on the head. 

"Want to tell me what's bothering you?' he asked as he placed his hand on her head and his eyes widneed as tears came to his eyes when he saw flashbacks of her memories and how the king used to hit her.   

'I am so sorry all of that happened because I was not there for you, I wish I could have stopped him if i had maybe your mother would still be alive" he said and she sighed then smiled. 

'You are not to be blamed for that, things happened the way they were supposed to and there is nothing that anyone could do about it, relax" she replied and he left staring at her. 

"Are you really not mad at me at all? how can you not be?" he asked and she sighed. 

"You are my father, you suffered too and I know that very well, there is no need for me to be mad, you tried the best you can, that's all that really matters, you are here now, I am glad" she responded and he sighed in relief then both of them smiled. 

"It's a nice night, why don't you go hang out with Cosmo a little?" he asked and she owned her head as he looked at her then sighed. 

'What's the matter?" he asked. 

"I just want her to enjoy life, that's all" she responded. 

'I think the only way she can do that is with you, it's what she has always wanted right?" he asked and she frowned. 

'Yeah but look at where that has gotten her, I just hope she doesn't regret it, I fear that more than anything right now" she responded and he smiled then patted her on the shoulder as she looked up at the stars. 

"You know I named her Cosmo because of the stars, shining bright, full of light and joy, she needed a name so I gave that to her," she said and her father left staring at her. 

'Wow that's amazing, you two are not so different from each other you do know that right?" he asked and she smiled. 

"Yeah I know that too well" she responded as Cosmo flew to her and her eyes widened as the girl smiled. 

'What are you doing here?" Lilith asked. 

'I came to see you but I see you already have great company" she responded and the father smiled. 

"It's fine, her company was about to leave anyway, you can take her, she needs to relax, believe me when I say that Cosmo," he said then left and Lilith pouted then Cosmo laughed. 

'You don't want to spend the night with me then?" Cosmo asked and Lilith pouted. 

'You.. don't emotionally blackmail me" she responded and Cosmo laughed then brought forth her hand and Lilith looked at her. 

"Fine, just careful my body still hurts and this hair, looks weird" she said as Cosmo lifted the girl up in her arm and Lilith gasped. 

'I am not a kid" she said and Cosmo laughed. 

"Kid for me" she replied and Lilith gasped. 

'What kind of a sick game are you playing?" Lilith asked and Cosmo winked at her then she sighed. 

'Since when loving you is a sick game?" she asked and Lilith's cheeks got pink and she turned away from the girl then Cosmo smiled. 

'Trust yourself to me, don't worry tonight I know my limits, I can't have you... I know" she said as she flew up in the air and Lilith held onto her tightly as her hands trembled and Cosmo's eyes widened. 

"What's the matter?" Cosmo asked and Lilith swallowed deeply as she kept hearing the whips hitting her and she hugged Cosmo tightly. 

"Lilith, what's the matter? come on talk to me please" Cosmo said and Lilith frowned. 

'It's nothing" she mumbled. 

'You are lying" Cosmo said. 

'I am not..." she said as she started breathing heavily and Cosmo landed by the beach not where Vivian and Ash were having their date though a little up where they won't see each other. 

"Here," Cosmo said as she placed Lilith to sit on the beach and the girl frowned. 

'Sorry Cosmo" she said as her hands trembled and Cosmo's eyes widened then she hugged Lilith. 

"What are you afraid of Lilith?" she asked. 

'Nothing..." she responded and Cosmo sighed. 

"Is it the king..?" she asked and Lilith frowned then Cosmo sat beside her and smiled as she held onto the girl's hand. 

'I am here with you, there is no need for you to be afraid, just relax a bit" she said as Lilith looked at the water and smiled. 

"Come here," she said as she got up and Lilith looked at her and Cosmo's reflection in the water then her eyes started glowing as the water glowed forming Cosmo's face and Cosmo gasped then she smiled and grabbed Lilith by the waist pulling her in and kissed the girl. 

"Thank you for loving me Lilith," she said and Lilith smiled. 

'Same here, thanks" she replied as she took out her wings and inhaled then exhaled as Cosmo looked at her and she tried to fly up but fear made her fall and Cosmo grabbed onto her. 

"You sure know to make someone happy," she said and Lilith smiled. 

"So do you, Cosmo, so do you" she replied and Lilith sighed. 

"You are scared, come on we need you to fly beside me, not for long though," Cosmo said and Lilith smiled as Cosmo took out her wings and flew up then Lilith looked up at her and sighed. 

"Come on trust me like you did the last time," Cosmo said and Lilith took out her wings out and Lilith held onto Cosmo's hand as she flew up slowly with the girl in the air and Cosmo kissed her as she kept flapping her huge glowing wings. 

"I do have faith but in you more than myself," she said then kissed back Cosmo and the girl raised up smiling. 

'There you go, keep holding on and now look down" Cosmo said and Lilith did as told then smiled. 

'Got it again, sorry I didn't mean to..." she said and Cosmo grabbed her by the arm and flew up really fast in the air. 

"Look at the moon and chill out, if you think you ruined my night then stop because you didn't," Cosmo said and Lilith smiled. 

"It's a nice night, sorry I can't give you what you want right now," Lilith said and Cosmo hugged her from behind and both of them looked at each other with their eyes glowing. 

'I don't mind, I just want you to get better, that's all that matters right now, to be honest, I am quite happy right now, I didn't know you could do that with your power, you really are amazing Lilith, that's one of the reasons why I love you" she said and Lilith blushed.
