Lilith had spent her entire life living in the shadows and trying to remain small and unnoticed. She stayed in the dark so long that she began to see herself as gray and insignificant. Still, pain found her wherever she went. It wasn’t until she lay bleeding and dying that that she realized the truth. "In a black sky the stars shine. I am a star filled with with blood and I will not die her alone." She crawled and it was the song of the blackbirds that lead her to her rescue.

Looking back, I could never quite place what disturbed me about the girl. Long before I had just cause, I feared her. Her eyes were the palest blue I had ever seen. They were so pale, that sometimes they looked colorless. It was in those moments, I felt closest to understanding her. Her eyes were windows looking into a house that had been abandoned long ago. When a home is abandoned, anything can move in.
