The New Chapter

Lilith finds it easy to get along with new people. She doesn’t seem to fit in but she blends in easily. Just like a perfect unintended camouflage. People doesn’t seem to mind her. Or even notice her.

Lilith has paranoia problems.

When she first moved to the hollow, it was all awkward and weird for her. She found herself all alone even when she was in a crowd. Lilith was the only girl that looked out of place. The only blue dot in a sea of whites. The only tinker in a jar full of hammer.

Okay bad comparisons.

Anyway, Lilith found her place in the hollow a year after that. Not too long really. She made friends and most of them sticks. Some, however, were shunned out for the simple reasons of not being nice; meaning that they wore masks and swept their ugly faces under.

It started to get all annoying for Lilith when there’s just one person being a little too friendly.

That was when it all began.

Yarrow was friendly. He went looking for Lilith to ask whether she has some Novel Ideas. She was trying to find someone to pass those down and thus, she gave him.

It doesn’t stop right there. He went on calling, texting and even chatting with Lilith online.

It turned out to be a crush. Yarrow told Lilith after he found out Lilith was having a minor crush on another being who happened to be his bestfriend. Yarrow was crazy mad. He attempted suicide and thanked God for slapping some sense into him at last minute.

When he told Lilith how he felt, he shed tears. Lilith just managed to tell him that she can only see him as her brother. Not more than that.

Lilith wishes to just disappear. Fly to another cave. But she can’t because she has to finish what she started.
