Chapter 253 - Ash's Insecurity

"I am really tired today Cosmo, I have never really felt drained before, now I am feeling that way and it hurts, I feel helpless, what if something happens to you guys? I will not be able to help" she said and Cosmo sighed. 

'You are being a little too hard on yourself Lilith, don't be too hard please, you need to relax"  Cosmo said and Lilith looked at her then smiled. 

'How can I relax when all of this is happening? I feel utterly useless" she replied and Cosmo sighed. 

'There is no need to feel that way Lilith" she said. 

"To be honest that's how I felt when I was unable to help you when I only caused you pain and no good, when I lied to you constantly" she replied and LIliht left staring t her then sighed. 

'I understand why you did it back then, but now things are different" Lilith said and Cosmo scoffed. 

'When you do look at it the way I do you will see that not much has changed in our behaviors, I will lie to you to protect you, if I have to but I don't because I know how mad you will get at me" she replied and Lilith smiled. 

'Yes I really used to get mad at you, I was willing to throw you out in the ocean for lying to me all the time but it was for the good of people, I let it slide" she said and Cosmo laughed. 

'I didn't know you wanted to throw me away" Cosmo said and Lilith smiled brightly. 

'Yes I did, many times, I wanted to hurt you really bad but then I couldn't bring myself to do it, I guess I was not so sure about my feelings back then now I am though, I want to do whatever it takes to stay by your side, but I am not against faith, destiny" she replied and Cosmo kissed the girl on the forehead. 

'I was in a shock for a while, when you said I love you, I wondered if you were just messing with me, then I realized you were serious, I was on top of the world, I used to get really jealous when I saw you with Ahs, I wanted to strangle him" she said and Ash coughed for he had just walked into the room and heard what she was saying. 

'Well I am thankful that you didn't do it" he said and they smiled as they looked at him. 

'Sorry, feelings you know...." Cosmo said and Ash sighed. 

'Your feelings would have gotten me killed for sure, you two are just impossible to deal with" he replied and they laughed then he smiled and sat on the bed. 

"I am jealous of you two, never thought I would actually say that but I really am, how can you understand each other so well while I am struggling to understand Vivian," he said and Lilith smiled as she sat up and Cosmo looked at her. 

"You are going to take time to understand her, she is a bit complicated at times but once you get to know her better, you see Vivian loves you, that I am very sure of, you guys just have to give your relationship a chance you know" she replied and Ash smiled. 

'You guys are so much alike, to be honest, you don't want much except attention which is always too limited according to her" he said and they laughed. 

"You two are impossible, you are coming to us for help, what do you want me to do?" Lilith asked and Ash looked at her then smiled. 

"Are you serious?" he asked. 

'Sure" she replied then coughed and Cosmo sighed. 

'Forget about her Ash, i will do the work, right now the only thing you need to be doing is rest, I will handle this, we need to set up a date for Ash and Vivian, probably even get them married before things break loose" Cosmo said and Lilith smiled. 

'I think that's a great idea" Lilith said and Ash left staring at both of them. 

'What if she is not happy with me? what if I lose her?" he asked. 

"That's just insecurity speaking" Cosmo responded and he sighed. 

'Maybe we should get you two married first" he said. 

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea either," Cosmo said and Ash left staring at them then sighed. 

'You two, let me strangle you" Ash said and they laughed. 

'Relax, you do love her don't you?" Lilith asked. 

'Yes i do" he responded. 

'You do want to marry her right?" she asked and Ash smiled then Cosmo scoffed. 

'See? everything is fine, now all we have to do is find out what she wants now" Lilith said and Cosmo sighed. 

"So what do I have to do?" Ash asked and Cosmo smiled. 

'Just relax and sit back, we will handle the rest, it's going to be a surprise" Cosmo said and he smiled. 

'Thanks, guys this means a lot to me" he replied. 

'We know, trust me, we do" Lilith said then fell asleep suddenly on Cosmo's shoulder and Cosmo raised her brows. 

'What's the matter with you?" Cosmo asked. 

'She must be tired just let her sleep in the meantime" Ash responded and Cosmo sighed. 

"Yeah.. okay," she said then placed Lilith's head gently on the pillow after Ash left and she got up from the bed. 

'I might as well set up their date since I have nothing to do in the meantime" Cosmo said then left the room and as she did so, Claudia came into the room to check up on the girl.

"I wonder what Cosmo will do when she knows what you are planning to do Lilith?" she asked and Lilith heard her then woke up and got off of the bed. 

"Your hair..." Claudia said and Lilith looked at it in the mirror. 

'Oh no..." she said as her hair was turning bright red and she gasped then looked at Claudia. 

'Cna you do something about this?" she asked as Cosmo came back into the room and saw Lilith' then scoffed. 

'What did you do to your hair?" Cosmo asked and Lilith clenched her fists in frustration and Claudia sighed. 

"Lilith, what's the matter?" Cosmo asked and the girl frowned. 

'Nothing, it just changed" she responded. 

'Changed? just like that?" Cosmo asked as she passed her fingers through Lilith's hair. 

'It's a pretty change though" she said and Lilith looked at her. 

"You think?" she asked and Cosmo smiled. 

"Anything looks great on you Lilith, you should know that by now or do you underestimate your beauty?" she asked and Lilith pouted then Cosmo laughed and patted her on the head. 

'I have a few things to take care of, you uh... rest or look after your hair, anything you want" Cosmo said. 

'How about helping you?" she asked and Cosmo scoffed. 

'No chance, stop pushing your luck" she responded and Lilith sighed. 

'But it's boring here without you, I don't want to rest, that's boring too, I don't want to fix my hair either" she said and Cosmo smiled. 

'Let me guess that's boring too?" she asked and Lilith sighed then Cosmo laughed. 

'Fine, come on maybe I will take you on a date later even in your helpless state, you are most vulnerable right now" Cosmo said and Lilith stared at her unamused and then looked at Claudia. 

'Ignore her" Lilith said and Claudia laughed. 

"Relax, I think it will be good if you two have some fun, also Cosmo, take care of her, believe me, she needs it now more than ever," Claudia said then left and Cosmo looked at Lilith sharply. 

"What does she mean by that?" Cosmo asked and Lilith sighed. 

'I don't know..." she responded. 

'Are you sure you don't?" she asked. 

'DOn't lie to me Lilith, if you do, I won't forgive you so easily" she responded and Lilith's eyes widened as her hands trembled. 

'I think I will stay here, you go on" she said and Cosmo sighed then kissed her on the cheek and she smiled. 

'Don't do anything crazy, I am not going far" she said then left and Lilith sat down on the bed and sighed. 

'She said it, I think you heard" she said and Rex walked into the room and frowned as he sat beside her. 

"I heard her... you gonna be okay Lilith? you look pretty banged up" he said and she smiled. 

'I will be fine Rex, you don't have to worry about me" she replied and he looked at her hair. 

"Your powers are getting attached, it finally changed your hair, representing the phoenix, it's a good thing I didn't teach her everything about the phoenix, she will kill me," he said and Lilith looked at him as her hair blew up with the heavy wind. 

'I don't want her to hate her only family, you did what I asked you to, you are not to be blamed and when the time comes, which is near I can sense it now, I will make sure she knows that also I need to save my energy, I will need it" she replied and he downed his head. 

'Go on a date with her, enjoy the time you have... we don't know what's going to happen next, also your father he will be perfectly fine" he said and she smiled then hugged him tightly and his eyes glowed. 

'Thanks a lot, Rex, you helped me a lot.... if not for you I wouldn't have figured out the only way to defeat him" she replied and he left staring at her.
