Lord Mikk had to leave at the most an hour after he started conversing with Emilia. Lilith didn't care what his reason was but Emilia did look exponentially happy when he left. Lilith had brought her another drink and asked, "So did you have a good time or are you dreaming of him naked?"

"WHAT!? No I wasn't!" Emilia said blushing like crazy.

Lilith let out a laugh and said, "Emilia I'm just teasing you."

"Oh well I guess I did have a good chat with Lord Mikk." Emilia said, blushing a little less.

Lilith smiled at her and said, "Well I hope he felt the same because I want to hear wedding bells soon."

"Lilith will you stop teasing me," Emilia said as she brought her hands up to her face.

Lilith laughed and pointed out, "The ball is going to end soon. Seems like it just started didn't it?"

Emilia smiled, "I guess Mother wants me to say good bye to the guests then?"

"She probably will" Lilith stated as she started to close her eyes again. She could tell Emilia was about to say something so Lilith smiled and held her hand out to her and said, "Come on before we miss your friends."

Emilia smiled and took her hand letting Lilith lead her to the awaiting guests.

After everyone had left leaving a tired Lilith to help lead a tired Emilia to her room. They cracked a few jokes with each other to try and get to the other end of the mansion without losing inspiration. Once they got there Emilia fell on the bed and said, "That was fun!"

Lilith smiled and said, "It was" as she got out Emilia's night clothes. A maid's job was never done until her boss was.

Lilith helped Emilia get into her night clothes and after they were on she went to leave the room, but was stopped by something grabbing her wrist. She smiled and turned back but what she saw made her eyes widen. Emilia turned into something.

Lilith tried to get her hand back but the thing was to strong. She tried to scream but no sound came out as the thing grabbed hold of her arm. At first she couldn't tell what it was due to the lights going out as soon as it had, but then as it wrapped up her leg, to her stomach, and then around her neck, its eyes looked into hers and she saw it was a black snake!

Lilith's eyes widened even further as she saw that its eyes looked exactly as hers. The snake then laughed and that was the last straw for her. She used all her strength to throw it off her and towards the open window and she ran out of Emilia's room.

She ran as fast as she could to her room but the snake's laughter seemed to be following her down the hallway. When she got in the room she noticed her parents were there but when they turned towards her they dissolved into many black snakes that quickly wrapped themselves around her before she could move.

She was soon completely covered in snakes writhing around her and when she looked up a woman who looked just like Lilith stood in front of her but her skin looked normal except that it was so black it looked as if her skin was burned.

Lilith looked at her and was about to ask who she was but the lady said in Lilith's exact voice but a little... eviler, "Your vessel looks just like mine did when I betrayed my sister. But don't worry I won't let you do that and I won't do it either. Now I'm going to say this once and once only."

But even though her lips were moving no sound came out because snakes were covering her ears and one actually went in and she then knew what the woman had said and it made her scared for some unknown reason, "I'm the Snake."

Lilith sat up and bed, wide eyed, and started breathing heavy. She looked around and noticed she was in Emilia's room, and she let out a sigh of relief when memories came back to her. Emilia had grabbed her hand when Lilith was about to leave and asked if they could have a sleep over and she agreed.

"And so all of that was just a dream." Lilith thought as she lay back down in the bed. She looked at Emilia and smiled, "It was all just a dream."

"Ah but it wasn't my new vessel." The Snake woman's voice rang in her head.

Lilith's eyes widened and she again sat up and carefully got out of bed and went to the hallway, shutting the door. She looked around and saw nothing and when she went back inside nothing was in Emilia's room either. Lilith let out a sigh of relief and wrote that voice off as just her scared mind trying to scare her more and she fell back to sleep.

She woke up to her internal clock and quickly got out of bed, changed into her serving clothes, and left a note saying she would be right back. She left out of the room and into the shared room of hers and her parents and noticed her mother was still asleep and her father gone so she quickly brushed out her hair and then left to the kitchen to get breakfast for Emilia.

Her father handed it to her with a smiled and then she walked out and she hurried back to Emilia's room. As she expected she was still asleep. She placed the tray down on the night stand and opened the curtains, and when she went to lightly shake Emilia awake she woke up with a "BOO!" startling Lilith so that she fell on her behind.

Emilia laughed, "I got you!"

Lilith laughed and said, "Yes you did. Now come on you need to eat your breakfast."

Emilia smiled and did as she was told while Lilith got out her daily clothes. She searched through the closet for a thing for Emilia to wear when she heard Emilia say, "Pick the long purple one on the far right. I heard it's going to be chilly out today."

Lilith nodded and then grabbed the purple one, but out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a snake so she quickly spun her head around to see it but it was just a black sash.

"I guess a dream like that is enough to shake me up", Lilith thought as she placed the dress on the bed.

Emilia was almost done her breakfast so Lilith started to brush out her hair, and put her hair into a braid and then wrapped it around the back of her head to make it look like a bun ((I know it's called something I just forget what it's called)). After she was done that Emilia was finished so she helped her into her clothes.

Things went on like that for the next couple of days, except for the nightmares and the "sleep over". Until on the tenth day they walked downstairs to head out when a messenger was just handing off a message to the head butler, but it wasn't the man she noticed but something about him seemed... not right? That wasn't it was like something that belonged yet didn't belong.

The messenger looked in her direction tipped his hat and then left. Lilith thought that was strange but Emilia didn't seem to notice. The head butler read the note and then left with a quick hop in his step towards Emilia's mother's room. Lilith wondered what had caused him to rush like that but decided to ignore it and led Emilia to the living room where she was to entertain a couple of her friends for an hour or so that would be coming any moment.

When the friends got there Lilith closed her eyes and stayed off as far away from them as she could so as not to seem like she was eavesdropping. But soon Emilia's mother came into the room and motioned for Lilith to come with her and she did.

When the door was shut Lilith opened her eyes and asked, "What is it Madame?"

Emilia's mother smiled and said, "Lord Mikk is planning on coming here to speak with Emilia soon."

Lilith's eyes widened and so did her smile and she asked, "No jest?" The Madam shook her head and Lilith jumped into the air and clapped her hands, "Should I tell Emilia now or should I wait for a few minutes when her friends are gone?"

"It would be more favorable if you waited till after her friends left. I don't want this to escalade to something it's not." Madam said smiling.

Lilith bowed and said, "I must be going back inside to get the friends' things ready for their departure."

Before she could open the door the Madam said, "Try not to let people get to you about your eyes."

Lilith smiled back at her and then said, "I won't." and she went in closing her eyes.

She got all of their jackets ready and made sure their carriages were ready, but there was something that was making her mind run wild with panic as she looked out at the sunset. She didn't know why but she didn't like it. When they left though Lilith's spirits raised as she was about to tell Emilia about Lord Mikk coming over.

But before she could tell her the good news that he would be coming in less than an hour; figures appeared in the sky that worried her beyond belief. She quickly went inside and first ran to her mother and father.

They were in the kitchen chatting and she said, "Mother, Father could you please get out of here?"

They both looked at her like she was crazy, but then her mother's gaze softened and she said, "Is this one of your feelings?"

Her father's face then looked panicked as Lilith nodded and he said, "We should get everyone out then shouldn't we."

Lilith nodded and said, "Mom, Dad you get the rest of the servants and I'll get the Madam and Emilia."

Lilith's mother nodded and said, "Tell them what you told us at first and if they ask why just say that you have a feeling that we should go."

Lilith nodded and then quickly ran to the Madam and Emilia who both looked happy, which meant Emilia probably already heard the news.

"Emilia, Madam, could you please follow me, I got a feeling something horrible is going to happen?" Lilith said looked as distressed as she felt.

They saw her expression and both nodded, heading out of the house with Lilith. Her parents were coming out with the servants when Lilith then looked out towards the sky and saw that the figures had grown large enough to see the details. They were hideous monsters that each had at least one human like face on them somewhere. Some looked like animals, some looked like machines, other she couldn't even tell what they were supposed to be, but she did notice a few human skeletons in the mix.

Some of the servants let out a startled gasps and some, like Lilith, opened their mouths wide in terror waiting for a scream to come that would never pass their lips, and some looked strong for the rest even though their eyes were shined over with fear. Then the monsters attacked the house catching fire to it and destroying the house. Some of the servant who didn't make it out of the house were shot by the monsters, carried off by them, or crushed by the house.

That's when the screams came out! Not from Lilith but from everyone else and there was a lot of running away. Lilith grabbed Emilia's hand and ran away from the fighting as fast as she could. She turned around and saw that her mother and father were running with the Madam after them and she was glad of that.

Then she stopped to let the others catch up but she noticed that the monsters turned and started coming for them. Lilith then screamed, grabbed Emilia once again, and then started running again.

She then heard the snake woman's voice in her head laughing and said, "They're must've sensed their mother. There's no escaping them my vessel."

Lilith shook her head but then Emilia collapsed from what she guessed was from fear. Lilith went down next to her and yelled, "Emilia! Emilia, get up! Come on!"

Lilith and Emilia's parents then went passed them and when Lilith looked up one of the skeleton like monsters appeared in front of her and let out a laugh. Lilith's eyes widened and she squeezed onto Emilia a little harder.

Just then the snake woman's voice let out a laugh, "I guess I should control my children before they hurt you or your friend."

Lilith looked down at Emilia and she whispered, "Please, do what you can to save her."

The snake woman's laugh came out of Lilith's mouth and she then noticed her skin turned the same burned black color as the snake woman's skin, but a burning sensation came along with it that numbed Lilith with pain as soon as it hit. Lilith then looked up at the demon and it was like looking through another's eyes.

The monster then bowed in front of Lilith and said, "We've finally found you mother. Look, look we've did a good job on that house didn't we mother?"

The thing was like a dog wanting praise from its master. The snake woman then let out a pleased laugh and she said, "Yes my child you did well. Now why don't you tell me who exactly sent you all to attack this house?"

The monster let out a laugh as the rest of the monsters then surrounded them. The skeleton then said, "WE sensed you mother and thought we would give a nice welcome into the world!"

Lilith could feel herself smile and then reach up and pet the skeleton's head, saying, "Yes it was a wonderful welcome, now could you all please go to the Earl and tell him that I'm back? It would be so lovely if he would be aware that I will be visiting soon."

They all bowed and then flew off leaving like there were never there and the snake woman said, "I never properly introduced myself to you did I dear? Well when I tell the Earl I'll tell you the whole truth as well, but for now I'll tell you my name. It's Lilith."

And with that Lilith came back in control of her own body, and before she could ask herself what the hell happened Emilia started to stir, and all her attention was on Emilia.

Soon everyone was back at the mansion, the women treating the wounded in the old servant's quarters out back and the men trying to reconstruct the house.

Five minutes later Lord Tyki would arrive with a secret message from the Earl for Lilith.
