She was soaring in the sky, defying gravity. Her heart leapt with exhilaration when she discovered she could fly all along, even without those feathery wings.
She skimmed over a lake, creating a crystal trail. As she looked down at her own reflection, she saw the golden-white glow that she noticed emanating from her whenever she's flying.
Turning sharply she shot up into the sky, closing her eyes to feel the wind in her face, the tiny ice crystals forming around her lashes. When she opened them she was in outer space, looking at the sun as a huge sphere of light and warmth. She put her hand over her heart.
"It's nice to be back home."
Silence reigned as she communed with Him, remembering when she finally sought him out. After refusing to speak with him since she was cast out of Eden... how long had it been? Eons. It was awkward, but she was also surprised with how much she had missed Him.
It's when she finally realized that she could fly long before she knew she could. She simply hated herself so much back then the thought never crossed her mind. When He invited her home though she gently shook her head.
"Not right now, but I will come home when I'm ready."
With a smile and a loving kiss she zoomed back down and made her usual rounds, watching over the humans she used to hate and be jealous of. She has grown past that, and decided to stay for a while, to help where she is needed.
Scanning the grounds below she would have ignored the speck she found far away. But she slowed down...
That smell.
She knew it was him. She floated cautiously nearer, but still kept considerable distance. Ever since he got his wings he committed despicable acts which caused her to lose all respect, as well as pretty much everything else. She is merely disgusted with him for his heinous crimes.
She found him lying on the ground. Broken and unconscious. His wings a hopeless mess of blood and dull feathers. She wasn't even sure if he's still alive.
As she stared from afar she realized she felt... nothing. She doesn't even feel sadness anymore. Just nothing. She knew for a while now that he'd come to this, so she was not surprised at all.
With that, she floated away, moving on to the next chapter of her life.
Lillith knew it was him before she even saw him flying from the distance, or heard the flapping of his great black feathered wings. She knew by his familiar smell.
She watched him as he landed before her.
"Congratulations. You can fly."
"Fly with me."
"I can't. I have no wings."
"I'll carry you. Trust me."
She looked at his eyes and knew. Fighting back tears she took his hand.
They soared over the vast expanse of their God's creation, each His rebel in their own way. Sadness never left her eyes. Eversince she saw him with wings. She knew what he was going to do, yet she wanted to give him every chance she can, for she loved him.
When they reached the highest point she was not surprised when he let her go. She fell from the great height they have climbed together. She knew he thinks in some way that she has betrayed her. She knew she never did so she trusted him. She also knew that years down the road her raven will finally stop blinding himself, and regret his acts.
"I'm sorry I doubted you."
To which she has only one reply.
"I'm sorry I trusted you."
The impact was as painful as she would expect from hitting the ground at the gravity-accellerated speed of freefall. She was hoping it would be worse than the pain of betrayal he put her through. She was hoping it would be so much worse it would make her forget the pain of silence when he refused to find the truth with her, but would rather create a version of truth that would please him.
It wasn't, and it didn't.
As she laid in a pool of her own blood and broken bones, she was tempted to just lay there forever, but knew the buzzards and other scavengers would pick at her. With no death to deliver her from it all, she sighed and forced herself to move, place her limbs in their proper positions to speed up her healing.
It took a long, excruciating time, but she was finally able to stand up again and climb out of the crater her body's impact created. She wanted to strangle whoever quoted 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'
"Immortality bites."
