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
She lay peacefully next to him as he spoke; her head rested on his usually strong body, the famine had been kind to no one. The cat girl closed her eyes as he ran his hand through her hair, the sensation relaxing her completely. She was, after all, part cat. Lilith remained in silence when he asked her how she was holding up. She had told him about the dreams, about every one, but not all the sordid little details. She had said she had been having more nightmares about Mallos’ return. But… not the details.
She shuddered a little before curling up closer to him. “I could be better, Arthur…” She said, feeling her inhibitions slipping away by the second. She thought it was just the alcohol, but that was her last thought.
The girl moved up next to Arthur and took the cup from him, drained it, then cast it aside. She straddled him and let her lips fasten onto his; her long hair had fallen out of its plait and curtained their faces. One hand tensed on his shoulder and she pulled at his shirt with the other. There was so little going through her head right now. She had experienced something like this before, a long time ago. She had been delirious from fever, all of her sense gone, her ego and super ego stripped away, leaving pure id, her unbridled intentions. The things that made every creature run. Food, reproduction, and survival. Those are the three key things that determine anyone or anything thing’s behaviour.
She sat back and pulled her shirt off over her head. He would have known something was wrong by this point, the fact that she had not said a word for more than a few minutes. She smiled at him, in a way very unlike herself, and too much like her father for any sane person to be comforted by. Mallos almost always got his way, and that was a trait that had been passed down to Lilith, but she didn’t do it like this. Not ever.
This was not all of Lilith. This was just a small part of the girl, influenced by the thoughts of her father that had been swimming around her head for too long. Maybe this was it, the bare minimum. What everything came down to. She was scared, so she came to Arthur for comfort, and what was the easiest form of comfort that she could get from Arthur? Sex, quite obviously… And there were so many ways that she could get that, without being herself.
