Lilith was taking quick and confident steps towards the village. The cemetery was right behind her and as it was getting farther and farther the little houses with the dark windows seemed to get closer and closer. Her insatiable hunger after years of self banishment made her impatient, but her self constraint was admirable. She had the gift of being able to assert herself, even when her most primitive instincts pushed her to do the opposite.

The moonlight made her black hair glow, surrounded it with a silver veil, almost as silver as her skin. The big freckle above her right breast was peeping out of her V neck dress, anxious to witness another feast. Rumor had it that her freckle fainted in times of fasting and once Lilith managed to please her hungriness that very freckle turned darker. Soon, we would soon find out.

The first house she found herself in front of looked old and shabby, Lilith could easily bring it down with the wave of a hand. 

"Ebony? You know what to do, dear."

"Meeeow."

And the animal climbed up the wrecked wooden walls and made it into the house through a cracked window. 

"Aaah! A baby", Lilith said to herself. "Babies don't have enough to sate you, but their blood is incomparably more savorous. "

She closed her eyes and all of a sudden she found herself in front of a wooden crib with a sleeping baby girl inside. Back at the doorstep, a whitish glow was left right where Lilith was standing. Inside the nursery she examined the baby carefully, Ebony was already inside the crib and her tail was circling that innocent face with the closed eyes. Lilith stood for a moment and watched the baby breathing, her eyes went all the way from the nose to the mouth, the neck and then below the covers to see them move up and down in the rhythm of the baby's breathing. Unconsciously Lilith's right hand moved towards her abdomen, but after a second she took it away and grasped her throat as she gulped and leaned over the crib.

One last sniff and one last look before this little body's most valuable nectar makes it into Lilith. Her hand gently touches those white cheeks and Ebony is watching them with her tail waving side to side. Now Lilith's hand is pulling that white nightgown's neck downwards, her tongue passes right behind her teeth which are slowly dipping into the child's soft skin. Two little pricks and warmness is transfusing into Lilith's cold body... as the baby is getting colder and colder without making a sound. 

- Aaaah! 

A loud scream and Ebony jumps onto the frightened woman that woke up to check on her baby only to see Lilith feasting on her daughter's tiny body. Soon she follows the same fate. And the father? 

"She's all yours, Ebony. I'll take care of the man in the other bedroom."

She moves out of the nursery...

When she meets with Ebony again, her freckle has a deeper, more reddish color.

"I'll meet you downstairs, darling", she says and blinks.
