The boiling isles loud and rustling are yet another annoyance as Lilith tries to continue her restless sleep.
Lilith slowly gets up from her cold bed and rubs her groggy eyes unconsciously. Then cracks her back in an uncomfortable unison.
"LULU" Hooty screeches in a tone no witch could reach as he stretches into her room with a humongous grin.
She's shaken to her core by that alarming yell.
"Yes hootsifer?" She drowsily croaked. As she stands up in a slump position, coming to see hooty at her nose.
"WERE HAVING YOUR JOB CELEBRATION TODAY!!" Hooty says, "you seem way to excited about a small job I could barely get", Lilith thought.
"Oh yeah." It's took her a minute to realize that it was 11:12am, she was late to her own party. "OH CRAP." As she hurried her way from hooty she could hear the slight voices of her friends and family wondering where in witches hell she could be.
She hastily grabs an old shirt from the top of her drawer to match her cotten skirt she had worn to bed. Lilith glanced in the mirror to check if she hadn't looked like she was thrown in a gorenado, she had seen her outfit still looking quite bland. So, she decided to wear an old vest gifted to her by her mother. Thinking she looks quite nice she soon finds her before straight hair to be slightly puffy at the bottom, Before she can fix it she's brought back to reality by Hooty practically dragging her down the stairs to impatient for her.
"Ah sweet flea you've made it!" Her mother greets her, slightly irritated. "Sorry woke up late." As Lilith says that Eda stares at her questionably then going back to conversation with Steve seemingly letting it go. Lilith soon finds a seat next to Eda on the couch. Hooty starts his 'speech' about how happy he is for Lilith and how he had made such an amazing food choice for them.
Lilith looks over to see non other then Flora Desplora, her old mentor. Oh crap why the hell is she here? Did hooty invite her? No they don't know her. Lilith worriedly thought, not realizing Flora had already been trying to leave. She quickly stood up trying to run to the door while yelling her name, "FLORA PLEASE WAIT!" Lilith yelled another time while almost grabbing ahold of Flora's sleeve. "Yes Lilith?" She said, while still breathing heavily Lilith looks at Flora her face growing weirdly red. Wow I'm I getting that old? She thought. "Lilith?" Flora repeated, "Oh yes, why are you here?" Lilith asks breathlessly. "The emperor wanted to make sure you're not getting yourself in any trouble, plus I wanted to see my old bookworm." Lilith blushed at the old nickname, "Oh okay well uhm I was wondering how-" Before Lilith could finish her question Flora had already gotten on a griffin getting ready to zoom off "GOODBYE LILITH!" Flora yelled barely audible.
Lilith shocked by her sudden leave, tried to run after her only to be stopped by her favorite niece, Luz. "Hey Lilith! I just wanted to congratulate you for the job but uhm who was that?" Luz curiously asked. "Oh her, she used to be my old mentor in the emperors coven. She's what I wanted to be when joining!!" Lilith replied in an exasperated tone. "Oh okay, explain please?" Luz asked concerned. "When I joined the coven she was free to do whatever while, I WAS STUCK WITH BOOK WORK!!" She replied angered. Lilith continues her rambling about how Flora had so much freedom. While at the same time complementing her?
