Swarovski Got Nothing on These

Lilith was certainly disturbed by the events that were transpiring, and now that it was hardly every daylight she was even more off put. Something deeper was going on and she couldn’t figure it out just by observing. What she could see feel and touch told her nothing about what was happening in the world around her. Lilith had been sleeping more, and seemed to deflate from her normal self. The strangeness effecting her far more than just being creepy. She withdrew herself, out of fear and the concern for everything that was wrong.

Roman wasn’t a stranger to how it was effecting her and it seemed like every time she saw him he was determined to figure out what was wrong with the world. Like there was actually a solution to the problems facing them and that there would be anything they could do to change the trajectory. Not that Lil ever mentioned her doubts or depression that stemmed from the strangeness of the world. She did manage to feel excitement when Roman suggested that they sneak out that night.

Lilith followed after Roman with forced confidence, the last thing she wanted was for him to think she was too scared to come out with him. Watching from the balcony had almost been too much, but she put her faith in his strength and bolstered her own. She leaned against him as he led her towards the gardens, the place where they met nearly six months ago. Everything had changed so much since then, she felt like she had changed since then.

"I don’t know.” Lil whispered, not wanting to admit she thought it was the dead infiltrating their living world. What scared her the most about it all was the strange presence she felt that reminded her so much of her mother and sister. She felt him pause as the glow was suddenly apparent as they crested the hill. Apprehensive, but curious, the pair of them continued into the garden to find an incredible sight. Beautiful blue crystals had grown over the rocks in the garden, the stone and hard surfaces glowed brightly with them. Lilith’s jaw fell as Roman escorted her further into the amazing garden.

She blinked back her surprise and fear and stepped forward as she watched the ebb and flow of unnatural light. "What is all of this?” Lilith whispered, expecting no real answer from the boy at her side.
