Lilith POV
Lilith could not sleep.
She had been lying in bed for two hours staring at the ceiling.
The full moon was three days past but something still felt wrong.
Not wrong, It felt different.
The air in her room was too thick.
Her skin felt too tight.
She sat up, looked at the window.
The moon was waning but still bright enough to cast shadows across the floor.
She threw the covers off.
Pulled on a robe over her nightgown, and walked out barefooted.
She did not know where she was going.
Just knew she could not stay in this room.
The hallway was empty, everywhere was silent.
Everyone was asleep at this time of the night.
She walked down the stairs carefully.
Through the main hall, outside door into the garden.
The night air hit her and she breathed it in.
Better.
She walked toward the edge of the garden where the trees started.
The woods were dark.
It was quiet and dark.
She should go back inside, the right decision was to go back, but she didn't.
