The silicon chip inside her head got switched to overload
Nobody’s going to go to school today, she’s going to make them stay at home
Her daddy doesn’t understand it, he always said she was good as gold
Lilith had been sat downstairs watching her siblings as they played, admiring them slightly in their ability to make do with whatever they had. She had been sat there for so long that she had started to go numb, and her mother tapped her on the shoulder gently and told her to get some sleep. The cat girl had smiled and walked off, but she could not sleep. How was she supposed to when the image of her father filled her mind’s eye every night, every time she closed her eyes to sleep it was either him, or being trapped in his body. It just got worse and worse….
One hand pushed open the door to Arthur’s, no, their, bedroom and saw Arthur already lying there on the four poster bed, shirtless and with a glass of wine. She moved over silently and positioned herself on the bed next to him, her eyes closed and she sighed slightly, and then gestured to the spiced wine. “Can I have a bit?” She propped herself up against the pillows and pulled one of the blankets over her legs.
“I have a headache…” She said, sipping the spiced wine and relaxing as it warmed her body. She leaned towards him comfortably and closed her eyes. “How long has it been since we have been able to spend some time together, alone?” She was not referring to anything in particular. Just… Alone time. She felt like the only times that they were together without interruptions was when they were sleeping. Then again, you can hardly call that without interruptions. Mallos got in her head more often… She did not get to sleep alone. Ever.
“I have missed you…” She said softly, her head leaning against his strong arms, her skin pale and almost sickly. The bones stuck out from her body but she did not care at that time. Sure, she was hungry, and tired and cold, but she was with Arthur, the only person who seemed to matter at the moment. It made everything better. He made everything better. She sighed softly against his strong frame, happy just to lie there and have him hold her. Seth was elsewhere at the moment… so right now it was just her and Arthur. And Pendragon. Well, they were almost alone. And at least, unlike Seth, the bird managed to take a hint when he should go elsewhere. This was not quite one of those times, but she thought that it would be nice to just be able to lie there with him, alone. That was all they needed really. Each other.
