Motel Hell | Lilith & Jesse & Claire
There was just something about finding the right meat suit. Lilith had always had a preference- young, blonde, small. It was more fun when her outside was stark contrast to what was within. Her own body had been stolen long ago. It was only fair that she took one back. So what if she had to displace the original owner? Not even displace, really. She was still in there somewhere. But Lilith didn’t care to look. The body was simply a trivial necessity. She already the brains, the skills, the abilities; all the qualities of a ruler.
Lilith was an undending evil.
The last time she had interfered with the world of man she had caused the breaking of the 66 seals and sacrificed herself so poor boy Winchester could jump start the apocalypse. She was the best. She was the queen. Everyone knew it - Lucifer knew it. Why else would he bring her back? Lilith’s work was not yet done. Lucifer was awake, and together, they would watch earth and heaven burn.
Lilith would destroy the world.
The velvety dark of the night sky was diminished by the flickering glow of the street lamps that were scattered across the motel parking lot. She had a special plan for her first night back topside.
Jesse Turner. Demon. Human. Freak. the only one of his king. One little demon had worked to her last breath to create him. But now, he was trying to hide his power from his family. And Lilith just couldn’t stand for that. Demons were never a challenge for Lilith, but Jesse was a little different. He was the anti Christ child, and more powerful for it. Jesse could compete with the best of them. He could exorcize demons with the flick of the wrist, disappear without notice, shield himself from the watchful eye of demons and angels alike - but he couldn’t shield his friends.
The door flew open with such a force that it crashed into the neighboring wall, startling the homely looking lady at the front desk right out of her seat. Lilith glided forwards into the fluorescent lighting of the office. The woman’s hand flew to her heart, and she smiled, relieved.
"Oh sugar, you scared me! Now, what are you doin’ here? Are you lost? Where are your mommy and daddy?" Lilith didn’t respond. She continued to move forward until she could reach the counter, but as she reached for a folder from the file rack, the lady snatched it away.
"What do you think you’re doing? These are for adult eyes only, honey." Lilith’s eyes flickered upwards, meeting the woman’s gaze for the first time. She smiled sweetly, enjoying the fear and confusion on the woman’s face as her eyes melted to a shade of milky white.
"Wha-" She couldn’t edge in a word before Lilith lifted a hand, turning it to the right in a jerking motion, snapping her neck with the blasé ease of writing her name. The body fell to a heap on the floor, papers from the file dropping all around her. Lilith bent down, glancing over them all until she saw one that caught her eye. A group of three in two separate rooms. All paid with one card. She dropped the papers, turning and leaving the room as smoothly as she had entered.
The next door she approached, she wasn’t so quick to blast open. Humans were fools. So were many creatures. But they were fools with powers, and although Lilith had nothing less than complete confidence in herself, it never hurt to go the extra mile when there was a prize on the line.
She silently pushed the door open, slipping into the room. Everything was as she expected. Few possessions scattered about, the the visible outline of one body in the bed. She advanced to the right of the room, stopping in front of a set of crudely upholstered arm chairs adjacent to the bed. Then, she etched a specific design to the floor right In front of her, staying careful not to cross it. She wasn’t the one who needed to get stuck. Perching regally on the edge of the chair, she set her sights on the lump in the bed. Fingers inching across the night table, she found the vase. Never averting her gaze, she pushed it to the edge of the table. With a crash, it shattered onto the linoleum. Time to wake up.
