402 Time to fly- Part 2

"You are a demon who enjoys killing people. Why do you want to turn to an angel?" questioned Madeline to hear Lilith laugh again. It didn't make sense why the person would want to be an angel when they had nothing but ill intentions, that would only lead them to turn as fallen angels again before they would step back to being a demon. 

"Oh dear, you don't know the whole truth, do you? I guess not everyone knows but this is more than just redemption," Lilith took a step towards the wall. "Look at you. You are filled with abilities. Even Heaven is worried where you will cause destruction with what you are. By sacrificing you, it isn't just to be angelic, but the powers that will unleash after your death which is when we can feed and turn to something better than what we are."

"Right now, you are trash. I wonder what's the next level after it," commented Calhoun and Lilith's hands clutched. According to the plan, she would make use of Declan's help and take the dark angel from here, but Declan was dead. And she had discovered that Calhoun was not an average vampire. 

"You were never better. Always behaving so high and mighty when you are someone who came out between the legs of a woman who whored around with every single man in the village," scoffed Lilith to spite Calhoun.

In an instant, Calhoun stood right in front of Lilith, grabbing hold of her neck tightly. He stared at the demoness. 

"Well, at least my mother spread her legs because she had to feed me and her, unlike you who whored around just for pleasure." Calhoun's words were cold and empty as he didn't like the way Lilith spoke about his mother. He had silenced almost every single person who had bad-mouthed his mother. 

"For a lowly demon, you sure have a lot to speak, don't you," said Calhoun, pressing her neck further squeezing it and the demoness found it hard to breathe.

"Kill me," whispered Lilith through gritted teeth. Calhoun looked into the black eyes of the woman before pushing her away from him. "You can't, can you?" she laughed. Madeline who stood there watching them could feel her hands start to shake while she saw the way the demoness looked at Calhoun. She was surprised that Calhoun had not done anything, and had let Lilith go unharmed.

"All in good time," said Calhoun and Lilith staggered back. "How did you end up here? I thought Helena sent you with Weasley to look for Walter."

Right now, Madeline had turned to nothing less than a Hanima's treasure. The only curse which people who were after her didn't know or failed to notice was that, she wasn't the small helpless girl who once was taken to a demon's house by her grandparents. 

"I can turn to a higher level of a demon. Almost God-like," whispered Lilith as she eyed Madeline. She then moved away from Calhoun slowly and steadily, towards the broken walls that allowed the wind to pass through in abundant quantity. 

"That's quite a dream you have in there. Do you think you will be able to do it," asked Calhoun, putting his hands in his pockets. 

A smirk appeared on Lilith's face, "Now as you know I am not a vampire, you should know it well that I am a demon with wings. Maybe not right now," she said, inching closer towards the opening of the walls. "But I will come with the rest of them. To take her away," she gave them a crooked smile at them. 

"And how do you plan to leave this place?" questioned Calhoun, tilting his head to the side as he watched Lilith readying herself for a flight. 

"Poor, Cal. By my wings of course," Lilith responded, and she tried to get her wings out of her back, but it never came to appear even after many attempts. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she wondered why she wasn't able to get her wings out. Cracking the bones on her back, she tried again before wondering what the fuck was going?!

Calhoun pulled out his hands from his pocket before walking towards Lilith, and her eyes widened. "What did you fucking do?! I had them just a moment ago!" there was evident panic in her voice. 

"I?" asked Calhoun, "Nothing at all. I barely even squished your throat."

Madeline observed Lilith, noticing the demoness wasn't able to bring out her wings which she had seen a couple of minutes ago.

"Stop fucking kidding around, Calhoun!" came the rage-filled voice of Lilith. 

"Ah, now I remember!" drawled Calhoun, giving a pause to only have Lilith's eyes turn big. "I don't think it was me, but the angel who touched you. He must have turned you to a mere mortal by not just taking your wings but other things too. What an unfortunate thing for a demon who wanted to move up in the hierarchy of demons," he tsked. 

Lilith's eyes turned livid in shock. She ran her tongue across her teeth and realized her fangs were gone, and so were her wings. She tried to use her ability, but nothing happened. 

"N-no! T-this cannot be happening!! NO!" screamed Lilith. She shook her head with a look of disbelief on her face.
