Unusual trio

Lilith and Sarah walked into the office, where the principal of the school was seated behind a desk. Lilith signed her name on the paper without looking up from it while principal Sebastian Jameson fidgeted nervously in his seat.

"So you're a transfer student?" he asked. "What's your last name? Where are you from?" He tried to sound as friendly as possible, but that only made him nervous. The more he talked, the less sure he felt about asking these questions. He knew about Lilith's father Isaac, who was a holy god and all-powerful being. Isaac use his influence to send his daughter away so she could live as she wanted.

"Lilith Gold." She didn't look up at the man, instead focusing on signing her name.

The principal blinked, then looked down at the paper again, confirming what he had just seen written there. It was a letter of acceptance from the school. 'Why... Just why she chose this school?' The principal questioned in his mind. He hoped she would have some other explanation for her strange choice.

"S-So... Why did you choose our humble school? I heard you were a very accomplished mage." He still couldn't believe that a goddess would choose their small academy to study in.

"I want to learn magic, that is all," Lilith said with a shrug. She was not going to explain that she just wanted to be close to Lucas.

"W-Why?" Mr. Jameson asked, but quickly added after seeing Lilith's glare, "I-I... Y-Your magic is very different from humans... We can't teach you much..."

Mr. Jameson was not wrong; Lilith inherited the power of creation from Isaac and an insane amount of mana. She could create anything, except for live beings.

"E-Excuse me?" Lilith asked. She glared at the principal Jameson, after realizing that the Sarah was in the room.

Sarah nervously looked around the office before turning back towards Lilith. "You. You're not human?"

"See what you did?" Lilith asked Jameson, glaring at Sarah.

"I... I am sorry!" He tried to defend himself.

"No, don't be." Lilith smirked. She gazed at Sarah and snapped her fingers, releasing a golden light. "Forget." She paused and smiled at Sarah. "Can you wait outside?" She requested.

"Y-Yes." Sarah answered without blinking or hesitating. She stood and left the office.

"B-But..." Mr. Jameson stammered. "I-Is she gonna be okay?"

"She'll be fine. I just erased her memory of the last couple of minutes." Lilith stated with a smile.

"Erased? What do you mean?" The principal questioned. Usually, curses to erase memories are illegal, but Lilith was not using curses. She used holy magic.

"Aaaaaanyway, I am finished." Lilith announced while putting the documents on Mr. Jameson's table and walking out the door.

"T-Thank you for doing that." The teacher said with a relieved sigh.

"Don't mention it. We are friends now." Lilith winked and left the school building.

Lucas was waiting outside the school when Lilith and Sarah arrived. He noticed Sarah seemed a little drowsy. "Hey, sleepyhead..." He called to her.

"What? Oh... Hi Lucas." Sarah responded, rubbing her eyes.

"We're back." Lilith informed him.

"Oh, hey." Lucas replied. His eyes widened as he saw Sarah yawning. "Wow, you really aren't tired right now."

"I-... A little." Sarah admitted. She sat down on the bench next to Lucas. "I think I'm getting a cold."

"You should go home then." Lucas suggested. "You shouldn't over exert yourself."

"Nuh uh! I wanna stay with you today," Sarah insisted, nodding her head vigorously.

Lucas scratched the back of his head, chuckling. "We were planning to go home before meeting Lilith. What happened to that?"

"Yes, what happened to that?" staring daggers at Sarah.

Sarah stuck out her tongue at Lilith. "It's not like Lucas would stay with you if I were to go home."

'Keep me out of this.' Lucas thought, not wanting to deal with crazy girls. He wasn't interested in childish games.

Lilith grinned and leaned against him. "Mmm... You smell good." She said softly.

"Like flowers?" Sarah asked.

"More like... Miasma." Lilith grinned. "I like that."

"Uh huh. Sure you do." Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Come on, let's head home." Lucas suggested. "I'll take you to your house first."

"Okay..." Sarah agreed reluctantly.

"You're going home as well?" Lucas asked Lilith.

"Can I come to your place?" Lilith asked, tilting her head curiously.

"Only when hell froze over. No offense." Lucas shrugged, walking ahead and leading them both through town.

"My dad can arrange that." Lilith said excitedly, not realizing that Lucas was sarcastic. She was rubbing the back of her neck as they walked.

"Let me rephrase myself." Lucas sighed. "NO WAY IN HELL."

They reached the lead Sarah to her house. "See you tomorrow?." she asked Lucas with wide eyes.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Lucas nodded.

"Bye bye!" Sarah waved to her friends in front of the school. They waved back and watched as she disappeared inside her house.

The moment Sarah left, Lucas noticed Lilith was staring at him with a smile. "What?" He asked. 'Why is she even following us?' he thought to himself.

"Nothing," Lilith replied innocently. She kept smiling at him until Lucas got home.

After Lilith went home, Lucas closed the door behind her, sighing loudly. This was the end of the day. He laid on his bed, taking a deep breath.

He tried to ignore the fact that Lilith had followed him to his home. She was weird, but not bad.

"I think.." Lucas muttered to himself. She touched his hand, and no visions showed up, after all. "I can only assume that she is not a sinner."

"Lilith..." He thought to himself. "She kindda reminds me of her." Lucas thought about similarities between the transfer student and his dead childhood friend.

"You know... I feel like..." Lucas shook his head, trying to clear it. "I should be training." Lucas said while getting up off the bed. "I need to release some steam..." He picked up his hoodie and went to the city. He walked straight to the dark alleys, to continue his dark hobby.
