"Don't worry about me," she whispered again, finally snapping out of it, her eyes open now. "I'll be fine."
"Don't worry about me," she whispered again, finally snapping out of it, her eyes open now. "I'll be fine."
“We should still head inside.” He started landing down on the ground. “It’s still getting dark.”
"Yeah… alright," Lilith jumped down to the ground, absorbing all the shock completely, as she was a ghost and she couldn't feel pain.
"I'll race you to the house!" He chirped running off with a grin.
It was then that Lilith shoved her own feelings of despair and pain and… terror away into the deepest corners of her mind and forced a grin onto her face, and sparkles to glint in her eyes for a split second, before racing off after Adam.
"Come on! Before my mom spots us outside!" He shouted back to her skipping and tripping some.
A look of confusion passed briefly over her face before returning to normal. "I'm coming!" she called back, running into the house a couple minutes later.
Adam was quiet and peered through the door. “OK she must be in her room. Are we going back to my room?” He asked looking at Lilith.
"Sure! What time is it?" she asked. Lilith wanted to make sure that before she left, Adam would be perfectly fine. Of course, she wasn't planning to leave anytime soon, but at least before he went to bed.
Adam glanced at a clock on the wall. "Ei-eight….eight-thirty-four?" He struggled some trying to read the wall clock. "Yeah, it's a little bit before nine." He smiled at her heading up the stairs.
"When do you normally go to bed?" Lilith asked. Of course, this was all part of her plan. She would stay just long enough to see Adam fall asleep, and then come back the next day. She'd be with him all day tomorrow, but she planned to cut that time down so he wouldn't need her so much. That was her ultimate goal. She wanted to ensure that Adam had a great childhood.
"My mom doesn't care, as long as I get all my school work and practicing done. Sometimes it's late, other nights I'm lucky." He shrugged pushing his door open. "My mom heads to bed at around ten, some nights I manage to beat her to bed."
(Shall we do a timeskip?)
(Probably lol)
(Okay. When should we timeskip to? We could do to the next day, or even a couple days ahead or something.)
(probably a couple days ahead)
(So, what do you think Lilith's and Adam's interactions would've been like in those days that we skipped? This'll help figure out where I should place Lilith when I post a reply.)
(Hmm, well probably some just regular "play time" for the past few days, as they just grow closer as friends. Adam wakes up now excited and expectant ready to see her. She's probably tried to help him out with his schoolwork some, I'm assuming at least. So things like that, just every day kid stuff I guess. Does that work for you? Or do you need more?)
(Yeah, no that's fine!)
Lilith slipped into the dark shadows that made up the world she resided in. Adam had just fallen asleep, and she now had nothing to do. She sat down, and curled up her legs, hugging them to her stomach. She missed her family. She missed her mom. And she didn't like Earth much anymore. She couldn't interact with anyone except for Adam, and different things kept reminding her of the Day. And it scared her. It terrified her. She didn't like being alone. But she had to. And as she sat there, thinking, the night passed quickly, and soon Lilith could see the faint rays of sun filtering in through the shadows, and she slipped back into Earth. "Good morning Adam!" she chirped brightly.
Adam wasn’t in bed, he was already at his desk scribbling something down. He looked up at the sound of her voice. “Oh hi!” He chirped lightly with a yawn.
(Sorry! I swear I thought I replied to this!)
"Whatcha doing?" Lilith asked innocently, tilting her head at Adam. "What time did you get up?" she walked over to Adam, looking over his shoulder.
(Nah it's cool!)
"I'm finishing up a drawing. I've been up since 5 am." He shrugged with a yawn. "How are you this morning?" He asked turning to greet her with tired eyes and a smile.
"Good enough," Lilith answered. Even though they had gotten closer the last couple of days, she still had plenty of secrets she was hiding. And some… some weren't even related to the whole "invisible friend" thing. "That's cool, though," she exclaimed, looking at the drawing.
“I only did it because I wasn’t able to go back to sleep…” he mumbled pushing away the drawing. A turned over piece of paper sat under his arm, as he seemed to be protecting or hiding it.
"Adam," she started in a soft voice. "What happened?" Lilith sighed as she went over to his side, no longer peeking over his shoulder.
