Nicholas nodded slowly. "Yes."
"And the strange things that have been happening to me lately? The lights flickering? Things moving when I get upset?"
"Yes," Nicholas said quietly. "We suspect it's all connected."
Something inside Lilith broke.
"Then why did you LIE to me?!" The words came out louder than she intended and tears were already forming in her eyes. "I came to you, Nicholas. I told you in several occasions that I suspected something was happening to me. But you told me it was stress. You told me I was tired. You told me it was nothing."
Her voice was rising now and the tears were falling and she could not stop them.
"Now you're telling me I'm some kind of supernatural thing that you don't even understand?! You lied to me! You kept this from me and you lied!"
She was gasping for air now, her chest heaving, and Sebastian was immediately there, his hand on her back rubbing gentle circles.
"Breathe, Lilith," he said quietly. "Breathe. You're okay. Just breathe."
