Goodbye dumb purple head

"I did not believe that you would be brave enough to come alone". A voice from behind the oak said.

Lilith turned to direction of the voice immediately to meet the last person she wanted to see now 'Nexine!

"Nex?"

"Yes Lilith. It is l. Are you surprised?" He gave her a dirty smirk.

"What are you doing here? Where you the one who sent me this?" She took out the piece of paper and showed him.

"Yes Lilith... I was the one who sent it to you, just to get your special attention".

"Why would you want my attention Nex? What do you know about my father?" Lilith was so desperate for answers now that she could kill Nex just to get it, if she had to.

"Ehm... About that, l know nothing about your brave father Lilith" he said in a serious tone. " Except for the fact that he died in one of our wars against other worlds. Any other information apart from that that you believed l could give you, it definitely not happening because he is only a tale to me just like you would be soon".

"If you knew nothing about my father, then why did you trick me to meeting you here? What do you want?"

"Good question Lilith. Good question. I only sent you that note to bring you here and have a one on one discussion with you"

"About what exactly?" Lilith tried to think of why he would possibly want to speak her in a place like this but she could not recall.

"Oh don't pretend like you don't know what l want to talk about Lilith!" He barked at her, walking closer to where she stood and grabbing her arm roughly and squeezing the life out of it.

With a single arm twisting, Lilith got her self free but the pain from his hold still persevered. "I don't know what you want to talk about Nex. It os either you say something reasonable or l will take my leave". She turned around to go. But was stop by the dagger he brought close to her neck immediately she turned to go.

"You made me look like a fool! You made my father see me as a disappointment! Tell me now how you brought Lyra back to life!"

'What Lyra? Lilith's head was overflowing with thoughts but the most evident one was that she did not want to die but what exactly was Nex talking about. What did he mean by bringing Lyra back to life? She knew entirely nothing about that but judging from the way he was acting now, she was sure he won't believe her.

"Listen to me Nex" she began calmly, hoping she could talk some sense into him. "I know nothing about what you just said. I did not bring Lyra to live, she was never dead!"

"Don't try to lie to me Lilith" he tightened his hold against her neck and brought the dagger even closer that her skin was beginning to tear and her blood ran down slowly down her chest. "l know she died. I am very sure of it because l saw you kill her that night. I only came out when l affirmed that you have killed her after l you yourself saw that she was lifeless. You even begged me not to tell any one,meaning that you were sure of her demise. How is it then that l return about five minutes later with sensei Moran only to find a healthy and unharmed Lyra. She could not even remember the fight you both had, and you tell me you know nothing about it! You had better started talking else, you would join your father here and now".

"So you where there that night and wanted me to kill Lyra? You intended for all that to happen?" Lilith managed to asked as tears rolled down her eyes slowly.

"Of course Lilith l was there. Standing behind a tree and watching you dig your own grave but one way or the other, you managed to cover it up" he gritted his teeth.

Lilith could not believe what her ears were hearing. So Nex actually wanted her to kill Lyra that night but for what reason. He thought he was a friend to het but little did she know that he was very far from being a friend to her. Infact, he was her worst enemy and desired nothing more than to get her far away from her goal of becoming a ranger of Triven.

With all the strength in her, she gave him a hard elbow on his stomach making his grip on her loosen a bit, actually enough for her to get herself free and immediately she did that, she took to her heels.

"Come back here you dumb purple head! Return here or l will make sure you end up like your miserable father!"

At the mention her father, Lilith stop running. She could take any insult whatsoever but she could not bear any ill statement against anyone she cared for or loved for instance, her father.

She turned to meet his detestable self with her purple eyes already fired up. "What did you just say about my father!" She walked hastily to where he stood with the dagger still held out but even at that, she was not scared.

"So it only took some truth about your good for nothing father to get your skinny legs back here".

"Say something bad about my father again and l swear by his name that you would never speak again in your entire life". She threatened as she was already standing before him with her arms held out and ready to give the first punch if he dares defile her.

"You will do no such thing Lilith" he swung the dagger at her but she skillfully doged it and have him a rib breaking punch, making him stagger backwards and groan in pain.

"Without giving him time go recover, she numbed his right arm with a blow and took the dagger from him. She tossed it aside and kicked him hard on the stomach. "Don't you ever in your miserable life again Nex cross my pathor l swear to you that you will live you remaining life regretting that ever met me". At that, she turned to behold the sight of her one and only friend, Andreas! He was standing beside another tree there and looking at her with affection and care. Wait! Did she just say affection? No! Yes care but definitely not affection. But how was he able to find her, she was sure she left no clues of where she was be going.

But he was here now and she could not change that. "Andreas" she called in an almost whisper but before she could hear him answer, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

'Oh how could she have forgotten one of the imorpant rules in a fight, 'never turn your back on your enemy' but she just did and is certainly suffering the consequence now.

She touched the area where the pain came from and felt the dagger there, she was stabbed! She brought her hand to her sight and saw that she bleeding which made tears rolled down her eyes and she felt them become weak. Just when she wanted to turned to meet the one who stabbed her, she heard his voice whisper into her ears. "Let me see how you will bring yourself back to life as you did to Lyra. Goodbye dumb purple head"...
