"A best friend can enter our lives at any time. They can come from anywhere...and in any form."

I am so honored to be part of this film, but we'll need your help to make this happen.

Part Twenty-four of Lilith's Escape

                                                         

Edward tried to pull Lilith into the tub with him, even though she was clothed, but as he did, a shooting pain ripped through his shoulder, stopping his amorous tug of war.

“Damn it,” he said and released Lilith. Rubbing his shoulder, he apologized, “I guess my fighting with that creature last night aggravated my injury.”

“I need you healed. We have a lot of work ahead of us.” She was kneeling next to the tub and let her fingers trail from his cheek, very slowly down his chest.

                                                                        

“Climb in with me,” Edward coaxed, but she brushed his hand away. He watched as Lilith took out a small dagger from inside her cloak. “What are you doing?” He asked as she pressed the blade to her finger.

                                                                   

“Drink,” she said and placed her bleeding fingertip to his lips. “This will heal you.”

                                                                              

He should have refused her request, pushed her away and ran for the hills, but instead, he took her finger into his mouth and sucked. It didn’t take long for the blood to have an effect on him. Her blood burned as it slid down his throat, but within seconds, his pain was gone. He felt renewed, strong and…?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

“The full effect hasn’t hit you,” she warned him.

“I feel great right now,” he replied and tried once more to pull her into his arms, but then the room began to spin. He felt woozy and grabbed the tub for support, “Lilith?”

                                                                     

“My blood is much too strong for a mortal, but you’ll feel better in a little while.”

“What did you do to me?” He tried to lift himself from the tub…

                                                                              

…When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the tub. Edward found himself fully dressed and lying on the bed. Lilith was on the other side, reading a book. When she saw that he was awake, she crawled over and snuggled next to him.

                                                                       

“What happened?” he asked, too shaken to do more than lay there.

“Your wounds are healed. Come on, get out of bed. We have places to go.”

“How the hell did you get me out of the tub?” Edward asked. He had questions, lots of questions, and it was up to the woman in his arms to supply him with the answers.

“It's better that you don't know.”

                                                                 

“How?” Edward demanded an answer, but it never came.

 She slid away from his side. “I’m hungry and need to build up my strength.”

“What year are we in?” Edward wondered if she had transported him into a new time period.

                                                                     

“Same year, I can’t take you through time without the car. Your mortal body would be torn apart. I can, however, take you to different places,” she replied.

“Why is everyone looking for this Levi guy?” Edward stood up and began to look for his shoes.

“Because of who and what he is,” she replied. She walked over to his side of the bed and stood in front of him.

“And that is?”

“He is Lazarus.”

                                                                  

Part Twenty-Two of Lilith's Escape

                                                                          

Edward checked her pulse, thankfully, it was strong and so was her breathing. Relieved that she was still alive, he carried Lilith to the bed and gently laid her down on top of the thick coverlet. He turned her over to check on her wound as was surprised to see that it was almost healed.

                                                                                                                     

“Well, I guess there are some advantages to being immortal,” he said to the unconscious woman. She needed to continue her healing, so Edward decided to let her rest while he inspected the room with the hope of finding out where he was.

                                                                         

After walking around and searching behind every drape, he was troubled by the fact that there were no doors to be found.

                                                           
The only way in or out of this massive room was the large balcony. Resigned to the possibility that he was trapped here until Lilith recovered, he stepped onto the open balcony.

                                                                          

They were high up in the mountains, but he could see the pinpoints of light popping up here and there as night moved in to cover the valley below, which meant there was a town nearby. Something about the location of the town made him suspect that they might be in the Bavarian Alps of Germany. He had visited the town of Oberammergau a few years ago as part of an assignment, and the geographical location of the town seemed to confirm this.

                                                           
 It was getting colder as the evening approached, but luckily there was wood for a fire in the fireplace, unfortunately there was nothing to light the fire.

                                                                            

He was hungry, cold and trapped in a tower, but there was a pleasant way to keep warm. He went back to the bed and pulled down the covers. After covering Lilith with the heavy blankets, he climbed in and wrapped his arms around her.

                                                                    

“You’ve got a lot of explaining to do when you awake,” he whispered into her ear, but there was no response. “I don’t think we need to worry about anyone attacking us up here,” he added and then nuzzled his face against her neck. She smelled like cotton candy and he was hungry, but after a few moments, he was fast asleep.

He never heard or saw the winged creature that stood on the balcony and watched them as they both slept through the night.
