Chapter 96 - Cocoon

"Why did you do that?" Rex asked. 

"Didn't think I will let you die to help me did you?" she asked and he frowned as she coughed and he sighed. 

'I am sorry" he said as she stooped down with her in his arms.

"Lilith" Sunny called out as she and the others went to the girl. 

"I am fine guys, relax... Cosmo, I am glad you are still here" she said and the girl's eyes widened as her face got pink. 

'Thank you for keeping me" Cosmo replied as she stooped down and held onto Lilith's hand. 

"Can you heal her?" Rex asked Sunny and the girl's staff started glowing as she placed her hand on Lilith's wound but for some reason, the girl was not healing at all. 

"Why is she not healing?" Cosmo asked. 

'I don't know" Sunny responded as blood ran out of Lilith's nostrils and Cosmo gasped. 

"Lilith, can you try healing yourself?" Cosmo asked. 

"No... i can't" she responded and the girl sighed as Lilith held onto her hand tightly and her father looked at her. 

"I really... do hate you," she said.

"You will get over it" he replied as tears came to her eyes and she frowned. 

'I promise you a horrible death, that day all of the kingdoms will remember and the next ruler will be me" Lilith said as her feet started to turn to stone and the king laughed. 

"What's happening to you?" Rex asked and Lilith smiled. 

"I was going to ask you that" she responded as tears came to his eyes and he turned away.   

"I am sorry this is my fault," he said and she smiled. 

"No it's not your fault... relax.." she replied as she raised her hand and placed her palm against his cheek. 

"You and I both know what's going to happen if he gets.. what he wants... make sure it doesn't happen," she said as her entire body turned to stone. 

"Is she dead?" Vivian asked. 

"No it's some sort of cocoon, she will be just fine, it's not stone, it just looks like it" the king responded. 

"You caused this" Cosmo said and the king sighed as Rex disappeared and the king got angry. 

"Put her in her room, we don't know what's going on with her so be careful before someone gets hurt... won't want to lose my assets," the king said then walked away. 

'You can never be her father" Cosmo said and the king stopped the turned around and looked at the girl. 

"What did you just say?" he asked as his eyes glowed. 

"You can never be her father.. she has none of your traits... you are hiding something that you are also ashamed of" Cosmo responded with a smile and the queen gasped as the king folded his cuffs and the queen grabbed onto Cosmo's and pulled her behind her. 

"She is just a kid, leave her be," the queen said. 

"Tsk... keep her away from me or I will kill her" the king replied and the queen sighed as her hands kept trembling. 

"What she said was not wrong," the queen said and he pointed his hand forward pulling the queen to him and the others gasped as he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up in the air. 

"It will be better if you stay quiet about certain things and you will if you don't want anyone here to die this very night," he said then released her and she fell to the floor coughing. 

'Are you okay?" Cosmo asked as she went to the queen and helped her up. 

"Are you okay?" Cosmo asked and the queen smiled. 

'Yes I am fine..." she responded. 

"If you don't want the queen to get hurt then you need to think before you speak next time girl," the king said then walked away and Lilith disappeared along with the other guy and Cosmo sighed. 

"Rex I wonder where you have gone," Cosmo said to herself.

'Come on guys.. we should get some rest" Vivian said as she held onto Cosmo with a smile. 

"Alright" she replied then they all went to their room and Cosmo went to take a bath. 

After the girl finished taking her bath she got changed.

"You know I could use some help," her brother said as he appeared in her room injured and she grabbed onto him then placed him to sit on the bed. 

"You are injured... how?" Cosmo asked as he laid back.

"I was tortured... it's bound to happen" he responded as she grabbed the first aid kit and he smiled. 

"Why are you smiling?" she asked as her hands started glowing red. 

"Your powers won't heal me, only Lilith's can," he said and she frowned. 

"Why Rex?" she asked as his body got ice cold and she moved away from him as he started healing but yet he was in great pain. 

"What do you mean by why?" he asked and she folded her cuffs in anger. 

"Do you love Lilith?" she asked and his eyes widened as they trembled and he smiled. 

'I don't know what you are talking about because all I can see her as in my life is a really good friend nothing more" he responded. 

"Are you sure about that?" she asked. 

'Yes of course I am, are you trying to tell me I don't understand my own feelings?" he asked and she frowned. 

"The way you have been with her lately Rex gives others... the wrong impression" she responded and he laughed. 

"Cosmo you are just overthinking this a little too much... no one said anything like that did they?" he asked. 

"No, no one asked, I am just saying" she responded and he sighed then held onto his head. 

"Don't do this... i want to sleep I am tired" he said and she sat near him. 

'Get some rest, I don't want your wounds to get worse.... just please don't lie to me if you do have feelings for her I have a right to know" she replied and he patted her on the head.
