Chapter 20

"Is there a problem? Don't you think it's interesting?"

"No, to be honest it sounds very interesting even though I haven't read it. But from what you said, I think it will be your next successful work."

"Come on, don't overdo it, Ben! It's not that interesting. I haven't even thought about the point and end of the story. It's still hanging over my head."

"I'm impressed that you can think of such an interesting story in a short time. But if I may ask, where did you get the story idea?"

"I'm not sure how that idea came into my head, but lately I often hear someone mentioning the name Lilith in my dreams. I was curious and I started to find out, it turns out that Lilith is the name of a female demon. This is really strange, right?"

"Yes, that's very strange. But why would someone say that name in your dream?"

"I don't understand either, it's just that it happened several times. I seemed to hear a conversation between a man and a woman, like lovers but it sounded strange. Yes, it was very strange."

I was stunned and thought again about the strangeness that I experienced. Lilith, I also heard Daniel mention that name in my dream. Who exactly is that woman? Why is her name always mentioned in my dreams?

I opened the door to my room feeling anxious, hoping that this time I wouldn't run into Daniel because today my mother was going with her friend and Kelly would be home late.

My feelings are still uneasy since Daniel's strange attempt to force me to kiss him. I don't understand why my brother can act strangely like that? What was he really thinking?

I walked down the stairs slowly, hoping that my footsteps wouldn't make a sound that Daniel might hear. I'm sure he's in his room right now, with dozens of scary paintings displayed in his very cold and dark bedroom.

I managed to reach the kitchen safely and immediately opened the refrigerator door to get cold water and a few slices of my favorite cheesecake that I wanted to enjoy in my room alone. But just when I thought that everything would go smoothly, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs was heard and immediately made my heart beat very fast.

I didn't dare look back when 'someone' walked towards the kitchen where I was. I'm sure it was Daniel, because he was the only person in this house besides me.

"Get out of the way!"

Just as I expected, Daniel was standing behind me with his voice very deep and heavy. I immediately moved away from in front of the refrigerator so he could take something he wanted.

I glanced at him who was shirtless and only wearing long gray sweatpants. I was a little impressed by his physical appearance, he was very, very charming and that made my mind immediately go to the kiss he gave me in his room the other day.

"No, what was I thinking? Even though he's not my biological brother, he's still my little brother. I can't be influenced. He's in the puberty phase because he's only 20 years old, this will end soon when he gets older." I thought. I don't want to think about anything else apart from my work as a writer.

"I'm not in the puberty phase like you think!" His words were surprisingly exactly the same as what I had just thought. I couldn't believe he could read my mind so clearly.

"What did you say?" I asked, a little doubtful about what he had just said.

Daniel walked over to me who immediately stood stiff every time I felt him approaching. I couldn't believe that I would feel this afraid of my own brother.

Daniel looked at me coldly with his very beautiful eyes. I hope he doesn't provoke me by kissing me like before. I really don't want to fight with him right now.

"I understand, you may not remember everything we ever did, Kate! You may not remember how you treated me as your love slave. But, I will definitely make you remember everything." He said as he left me. However, this feeling of shackles made me feel insecure.

"Daniel, wait...!" I called him even though to be honest I wasn't ready to argue with him again.

Daniel turned to me, looking at me with his wolf eyes which made me shudder in horror. I swallowed hard, I really don't know when did my sweet and cute little brother become this scary?

"What?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"What's that?"

"Do you know a woman named Lilith?" I asked. I can't believe I would ask Daniel a question like this. Even though I previously told Ben that Lilith was a demoness. But actually I'm not really sure.

Daniel stared at me for a moment and his eyes looked colder as if he wanted to skin me alive just by looking at me like that.

"No, I don't know her!" He said as he left. It's certain that I can't summon him again this time. I was really confused, clearly in my subconscious, I saw Daniel with a dark-haired woman he called "Lilith" but, is it possible that what I saw at that time was just a dream or my hallucination?
