The walk back to Lilith's room was quiet, her and Marcus taking in the silence, feeling comfortable next to one another. Before leaving Lex's room, the boy made sure to attend to the open wounds of Jason's knife on Lilith's skin, wrapping up the fresh bled wounds running up her arms and legs.

The restriction of the bandages around her elbow left Lilith's arms in a fixated state, almost like it was situated in a cast.

"How are you holding up?" Marcus spoke, the two turning the corner, metres away from Lilith's bedroom. She nodded her head at his question, patting her leather jeans, quickly becoming anxious as she could not feel her room keys.

"Here."

Lilith heard the sound of keys being placed in her door as she saw Marcus unlock her bedroom door.

"Oh course... my leather jacket." Lilith smiled, walking through the door first.

Marcus followed behind, relief filling him, happy to see Lilith safe, considering the pain she must be have inflicted and is still feeling, he was happy to have her back.

"So you have C4?" Marcus asked, Lilith chuckling as she sat down on her bed, untying her shoes.

"I'm honestly shocked how surprised you are Marcus." Lilith said, a laugh following her words, a groan leaving her mouth as she struggled to pull her boots off.

"Here." Lilith looked up to see Marcus sitting himself down on the floor, grabbing a hold of her boot. Lilith smiled, pulling her leg as Marcus pulled the boot.

"But yes I am surprised you have C4... how come you've never used it before?" Lilith shrugged her shoulders, a sigh of relief falling off her lips as she felt her feet free of the boots.

"I've never had the perfect excuse to use it."

"Well now you do."

"I do indeed." Lilith smiled, patting the space next to her, Marcus quickly joining her on her bed.

"Be honest with me Lilith... what happened?"

Lilith sighed, her eyes trailing down to her foreign looking hands, scarring forming from the scorch marks of the metal rod.

"I just found a new love of Jason's." Lilith muttered, the feeling of Marcus pulling her into his chest, his arms wrapping around her. "Electricity."

"Oh Lili." Marcus said, sadness flooding his words as he kissed Lilith's head.

"Marcus stop... I'm fine." Lilith mumbled, pulling herself out of Marcus's hold as she leaned forward, looking under her bed.

"Where did i place you?" Lilith mumbled to herself, getting off the bed to lay on her stomach, allowing herself to have more visibility to what lies under her bed.

"What are yo-"

"Gotcha you son of a bitch."

Marcus eyebrows furrowed as he watched Lilith's head disappear further under her bed, the sound of rummaging filling his ears. He was about to question the girl again when he saw a box being pushed out, filled with C4.

"That... that's a lot of C4."

Marcus heard Lilith laugh, her head still under the bed as he picked up the box. Inside the wooden box was indeed a large amount of C4, making Marcus's eyes grow wide in astonishment.

"Why do you even have this much C4?" Marcus questioned the girl again, Lilith's head appearing from under the bed as she sat herself up.

"Three words." Lilith sat herself next to Marcus, grabbing the box out of his lap.

"Me and Lex."

"What about you two?"

"Oh come on Marcus, it's like you don't know us at all." Lilith sighed, shaking her head as she picked up one of the C4's, Marcus quickly growing on edge as Lilith waved it in his face.

"We love a bang."

Marcus raised his eyebrow, a smirk appearing onto his face as Lilith looked up to him, wondering why he had grown silent.

"Not like that you perv!" Lilith said, Marcus laughing as Lilith pushed him, him falling to his side. Lilith three the C4 to him, the explosive dropping into his lap, causing Marcus to flinch.

"Oh is Marcus scared of a little C4?" Lilith teased, speaking to the boy in a babyish voice, Marcus rolling his eyes, his turn to push the girl, Lilith falling onto her side.

"I'm glad you're back to your annoying self." Lilith winked, straightening herself up again as she got up from the bed, heading to her wardrobe.

"I think the term your looking for is that I'm amazing." Lilith smithed, turning her head, focusing her attention on the clothes hanging as she opened the wardrobe door.

"Yeah you are."

"What was that?"

"Nothing." Marcus responded too quickly, only making Lilith's smirk to grow larger, the pink on Marcus's cheek growing brighter.

"Now Marcus... yes we may have C4 thanks to me." Lilith spoke, her hand gazing over the clothes. "But we need more... and as me and Lex said, we know a bloke."

Marcus nodded his head, placing the C4 in his lap back into the box, placing the box to the side.

"Now go get yourself ready... unless you're spending time with Maria... which is fine of course, we'll just show you when we get back."

Marcus scratched his neck as Lilith turned around, pulling an outfit off the hanger with her.

"Yeah i promised her I would spend the night... she's been feeling-"

"Emotional? Her mood swings back in full swing." Lilith snickered at her unintentional pun, as she noticed Marcus cover his mouth, not doing so good of a job of covering the smile however.

"Sorry that was mean..." Lilith said, Marcus shaking his head, removing his hand from his face. "But yeah that's fine Marcus... me, Saya, Billy and Lex will have the time of our lives partying."

Lilith winked at the boy as she walked towards her door, opening it.

"Now... go spend time with your girlfriend, I'll swing by later."

"Lilith you shouldn't be going out." Lilith shook her head, the rolling of her eyes visible to Marcus as he walked over.

"I'm serious Lilith... you've just come back after being tortured and you expect me to let you out?"

"Yes Marcus... because the last time i recall... you or anyone else don't have control over me or what i do!" Lilith shouted, ignoring the pain forming around her stomach as she stretched herself forward, pushing Marcus out of the door.

"Lilith I'm saying this to protect you!"

"Well it's too bloody late for that! I've already been tortured for probably over twelve hours straight... hell i lost track of time. But one thing is for certain... just because I'm battered and bruised and some parts of me are severely burnt... doesn't give you the right to think you have any say in what I do. I am not a broken doll hoping to be fixed."

Lilith watched Marcus wince at the words of her being tortured for a long period of time. Lilith sighed as she felt the need to cry as a way to let out her anger instead of taking it out on the boy of whom just worried about her. Marcus shook his head, taking a step forward.

"Don't Marcus... just don't." Lilith sighed, tightening her grip on the door as she watched Marcus sigh as well.

"Lilith..."

"Marcus. Just stop. Okay? Go spend time with Maria... just please, don't think you know what's best for me considering what's happened to me the last twenty-four hours."

Marcus nodded, not giving Lilith any time to protest as he pulled her into his chest.

"I'm sorry."

"I know Marcus... just go." Lilith hoped Marcus ignored the crack in her voice as she pulled away from his grip, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"You sure you're okay?" Lilith nodded.

"Of course... this is not the time to be an emotional wreck."

"Lilith yes it is... you've just been tortured for fuck sake! Chester can wait." Lilith viciously shook her head, poking Marcus in the chest.

"No... like i said, I'm coping fine... freeing Shabnam's parents and killing Chester is my priority, and it should be yours too."

Marcus nodded, not wanting to anger and protest against Lilith further, the boy rubbing her non-bruised cheek, Lilith smiling as she flicked her hand towards Marcus.

"Shoo off you go." Marcus laughed, finally leaving Lilith's room, the girl bidding the boy a wave as he turned the corner.

As Marcus turned the corner, Lilith allowed the tears to fall. Of course she was in pain, her all entire body filled with deep cuts and burns, made the girl's ability to move impossible without feeling some sort of pain, whether that be the tightness of her burnt skin pulling apart of the pulling of cuts, fresh blood appearing on the surface.

Lilith sighed to herself, slamming her door shut, walking towards her bed, picking up the outfit she had thrown upon her bed.

"You're stronger than a few burns and cuts Lilith Adelaide Grey."

Lilith tried to believe her own words, but she knew that the torture and torment Jason had inflicted on her, had impacted her hugely. Lilith was always damaged from an early age, thanks to her parents being assassinated by her dear brother.

The anger Lilith constantly felt, always made her feel like she was never good enough for anybody and that she was just some object. Kings Dominion both changed and added to the fuel of her thoughts.

Her fake reputation of killing her parents brought power to Lilith's name, making her only important to her fellow legacies just to bring power to their groups. That was why Lilith was so drawn and confided so well to the 'rats' and Willie.

Not once did they care for her reputation, they cared for her feelings, even asking how she was feeling everyday made Lilith feel like an actual human being instead of just her reputation.

Alongside Marcus breaking her heart, Jason too had shattered Lilith's mind further, despite never seeing the glass as half full or seeing the goodness in people, Lilith felt she was in a never ending pit, constantly falling. But to what?

"Lili?"

Lilith jerked her head to her door, a smile appearing on her face as she saw Lex leaning against the doorframe, a cool and calm aura radiating off him.

"Lex." Lilith spoke, a crack visible in her words, making the boy walk towards her after closing the door, him quickly pulling her into his arms.

"Let it all out Lilith."

Those five words made Lilith do exactly that. Lex's heart ached as he heard Lilith let out cry's, screams even, of which were muffled into his chest. Lilith felt Lex rub his arm up and down her back as she continued to cry.

"You don't need to act tough all the time you know." Lilith nodded into his chest, the amount of tears reducing as she felt Lex's touch still on her back.

"Well I don't who will?" Lex laughed, shaking his head as pulled his head away, allowing himself to look at Lilith.

"Come on... let's sit down, have a cry and then we go out if you want "

"This is why I love you Lex."

"I love you too love."
