• Chapter 1: Lilith

    “Where are they?” purred Lilith as the other leopards crawled towards her, rubbing their faces against her hands. The man swallowed nervously as he watched them lick the blood off her arms, keeping an eye on him.

    “I d-don’t know,” he stuttered. Lilith licked her lips, tasting his fear.

    “Please don’t lie to me Terry. I want to know where my other wolves are. I’m sure you don’t want to end up like your friend,” she said looking over in the corner. The rest of the wolves were eating away of what’s left of Terry’s friend. Lilith closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of her leopard’s tongues licking away the blood.

    “You aren’t human. Your face…you enjoyed him being ripped to pieces,” he stuttered, tears of fear running down his face. Lilith looked at him with green cat eyes and tilted her head to the side.

    “Don’t tell me what I am and already done, Terry. I need to know where my wolves are, and I’m running out of patience. You are starting to smell delicious,” she purred again as she started to crawl towards him. Terry backed away, but the leopards held him in place. She was only a few inches away from Terry. He flinched when she reached up and wiped his friend’s blood off his face. She licked it off her fingers, moaning in satisfaction.

    “Mm. Tell me where they are Terry, and I’ll let you go,” she whispered looking at him with her cat eyes. Terry shook his head.

    “I don’t know!!” he yelled, scared. Lilith pouted.
    “Artemis, can you get ma knife please? Sharp one,” she asked still watching Terry, licking her lips. She leaned in closer towards Terry and he yelped as he started to shake.

    “Every time you lie, Terry, you lose your finger. You don’t want that Terry,” she whispered before she licked his ear. Artemis walked in with what looked appeared to be a cleaver. Terry started to squirm when he saw it. Artemis sat next to Terry and held down Terry’s hand.

    “Where are they Terry,” whispered Lilith against Terry’s trembling lips.
    “P-please. I don’t know where they are. I was told to round them up and take them to Frank’s place. He took them somewhere,” he said in a croaked voice. Lilith breathed in felt her own leopard walking back and forth, impatient. Lilith yawned, showing her fangs.

    “Terry, where’s the house?” she asked. Artemis had the knife’s sharp blade touching Terry’s finger. Terry groaned.

    “Please don’t!” he pleaded. Lilith shook her head.
    “Wrong answer Terry,” she said. She licked her lips and watched the fear in his eyes. Terry screamed in pain as Artemis slowly cut Terry’s finger off, blood pooling around his hand. Lilith picked up his finger and looked at it before tossing it to the wolves eating at Frank’s body. Lilith leaned in and flicked her tongue over Terry’s lips.

    “The house, Terry. Where is it. I want to know where my wolves and their beloved Rapture is,” she said. Terry swallowed as he felt the knife’s blade touch his other finger.

    “OK! OK! They’re over at my place on 5th street next to the Chinese place. The 6th floor! Please not my other finger!” he begged. Lilith looked around to her leopards and wolves, then over at Artemis.

    “What do you think Artemis?” she asked as she played with Terry’s hair. Terry closed his eyes and hoped for them to let him go.

    “You’re done here Lilith. Let him go,” Artemis said, tossing the cleaver away. Terry let out his breath like he was holding it in. Lilith pouted again.

    “I’m still hungry. I need to feed,” she whined as she stared at the pulse at Terry’s neck. She wanted to feel that tender flesh in her mouth, the hot, salty blood down her throat.

    “Feed, but don’t play with your food Lilith,” Artemis told her before he walked out of the room, taking the rest of the leopards with him. The wolves stayed behind and watched the door, making sure no one comes in. Lilith smiled and looked over at Terry. Terry backed away with his bleeding hand against his chest.

    “Y-you said y-you’d let me go if I told you!” he screamed. Lilith smirked.
    “I lied.” Lilith jumped Terry and watched the pulse beat faster against Terry’s neck.

    “Are you scared Terry?” she asked against his ear. Terry gave a quick nod and closed his eyes.
    “Good.” Lilith sank her fangs into his neck. Terry screamed in pain and tried to push her off, but his body slowly went limp due to the blood loss. Lilith tore the flesh away and stood up, wiping the blood from her face. She licked most of it way and saw Artemis at the door. Her eyes were now glowing a deep auburn gold. She walked up to him with the fluidity of a feline. When Lilith was a few inches away from him, she stood on her toes and leaned in for a kiss. Artemis bowed his head and placed a small kiss against her lips, blood and everything in between.

    “You taste like Terry,” he whispered, his voice a bit uneven. Lilith nodded. Artemis then wrapped his arms around her and smacked his lips against hers, kissing her like he was going to breathe her in. He came away with Terry’s blood smeared over his mouth like lipstick.

    “I need to clean up,” said Lilith. She glanced back at Terry’s lifeless body, “well I can’t have this mess in my kitchen. Boys? Make yourself useful and clean this place up,” she ordered. They growled.

    “Don’t even dare. We’re going to get your Alpha. So do as you’re told. Now!!” she demanded. The wolves continued to growl even more and started to fix up the kitchen. Artemis smirked when Lilith turned back at him.

    “Shower time?” he asked. Lilith nodded.
    “Shower time.”
