Lilith was looking at Dina with wide eyes and with a face that was begging her to understand.. she knew that her 30 minutes was almost up and there were still a few things left to say..
“I begged my Mother not to go into the woods with Father, it was a feeling I had.. a connection.. does that seem ridiculous?” Lilith questioned

Dina just shook her head in response
“I didn’t know that as she was heading off for that argument with him.. it would be the last time I ever beheld her”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“She begged and pleaded with him”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“And he still could not comprehend why her anger was so intense and why she was defying him so openly.. he became angry..”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“So Mother got angry.. it was like their hearts truly separated at that moment”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“But she still would not give up. She loved us children so much she was willing to do and say anything to make him change the direction he was going”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“But it was not meant to be.. it was like he was obsessed.. he needed to control, he needed to be loved and he needed to find out how far this power would take him”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“She was devastated. Beyond hope for him and our family”

“She then told him quietly that she was leaving him. She intended on taking her girls and moving away from him and his compulsions... he was furious! For a moment, my Mother thought that he was going to turn her himself!”

“If you know this Lilith, why didn’t you try and stop it??” Dina accused her
“I wasn’t there!!!” Lilith cried out
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“When I was talking to the Ancient One about your pregnancy, he showed me some of his visions” Lilith continued “he also passed on the visions he had of my Father and my Mother.”
*gulp* Dina looked at Lilith with tears in her eyes “You mean you witnessed your Mother’s death? You watched everything?”
Lilith couldn’t respond
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“Oh Lilith..” Dina reached out to her in sympathy
“Stop!” Lilith yelled “Don’t feel sorry for me! Please! You have no idea what I have done.. what I have to do..”
“What do you mean?” Dina asked, a little taken back by Lilith’s anger
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“Please, let me continue.. You will find out soon enough”
Dina just closed her eyes in agreement
After a short pause, Lilith continued “After Victoria was turned, she became a bolder version of her human self, she would sneak out to meet strange people at all times of night”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“Father soon realised that his experiment of turning a human into a Vampire was not going to have the same result as having a child born as a Vampire.. without Mother’s influence, and with Victoria missing her so very much, she rebelled.. badly..”
“So he wasn’t able to compel her at all?” Dina asked
“Not at all.. what was even more inconvenient was she didn’t care how angry or upset he would become. She used to feel some regret towards her arguments with him.. but now.. she had no feelings whatsoever towards him. He would find her.. every.. time..”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“And she would laugh at him! He would demand that she return home, and she would refuse”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“They would argue.. a lot..”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“He would threaten her with spells and his Vamperic strength”
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“And she would laugh.. and laugh.. and laugh..” Lilith stopped
“She left one night.. It was a last argument in front of a ridiculous person dressed as a bear..that’s when she left. She disappeared and I have been unable to speak about her since.. until now.”
“How do you know she is alive?” Dina asked
“Because I watched her run away through my Father’s eyes. I know he never laid a hand on her”
“So this brings your story almost to an end.. what is going to happen now Lilith? What are you going to do to me?” Dina stared at Lilith with a bravery that she didn’t know she had
“Caleb has been experimenting for a hundred years and has worked out that he must love his partner and she must love him.. which you both do”
Dina stared at Lilith.. waiting
“He also knows that the child must be born a Vampire, which your son is. But no human that is blood related to the child can be near him.. You can not touch your son Dina.. EVER” Lilith whispered the last few words
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
“Because me and my family are able to stop his control over my son.. “ Dina looked up from her clenched hands and stared directly into Lilith’s face “Did you kill my sister Lilith?”
“Yes” Lilith stared back with a stony glare
“Did you kill my Mother Lilith?” Dina asked between sobs
“Yes”
“Are you going to kill me too?”
“Yes”
Dina’s intake of breath was difficult. She could not believe that she might have only a few breaths left before she no longer could take breath again
“Give me your hand Dina..”
Dina looked at Lilith with fear and confusion
“I need your hand so I can show you the last visions I received from the Ancient One.. the ones that shows your child.. who he is and what he will become” Lilith held out her hand to Dina
“Thank you Lilith..” Dina was openly crying now “Thank you.. “
