#5:ESCAPING

....

"Do you need something, Lilith?" Tio said as he moved his gaze to her position.

When Lilith heard Tio's voice, she took a quick step back and was about to close the door. Lilith came to a halt and cast a sidelong glance at Tio, who was already staring at her. Tio, on the other hand, was perplexed by Lilith's actions. That's what Tio is thinking because she appears to be terrified.

"What do you want? Just tell me, don't be scared. If that's what you want, I won't go near you," Tio stated earnestly.

"I-I-I want water," Lilith stammered, her gaze shifting to Tio.

Lilith does not want to be discovered by Tio while attempting to flee. She is so terrified that she fears Tio will harm her. She has no idea that Tio is merely concerned about her well-being and wishes to assist her.

"All right, wait up," Tio remarked as he rose from his seat.

He then proceeds to the kitchen, where he opens the refrigerator door to get some water. Tio was completely unaware that Lilith was cautiously approaching the door and trying to leave. The door was slightly open until Tio returned to Lilith's room, which is why Tio entered without knocking. Then he discovers that Lilith was not there.

On the other hand, Lilith was sprinting down the stairwell. She is eager to escape.

"Fuck!" shouted Tio as he hurriedly exited the house.

He then noticed Lilith rushing outside the road. Tio cursed at the same time as he chased after Lilith, who was now running. If he lets Lilith get away, he will be severely chastised by Colt. Tio was perplexed as to why Lilith was trying to escape. He's completely oblivious to what's going on. Apart from that, Colt never says anything about Lilith to him. That's why Tio is having trouble right now.

"Lilith! Stop!" Tio yelled as he approached Lilith, who was still running.

Lilith, on the other hand, didn't turn around and kept running. She desperately wants to get away from Tio at that moment, but she is unable to think clearly due to her fear.

As he held Lilith's arms, Tio screamed, "Got you!"

As she tried to tear her arms away from Tio, Lilith came to a halt. She was frightened to death. Tio, on the other hand, refused to let go of Lilith and rushed her back to Colt's house.

Then, as soon as they entered the house, Lilith dashed to the room where she had previously resided. Tio was taken aback, and he quickly followed Lilith after that. He is concerned that Lilith may flee again because he recalls the room's window being left open.

Tio whispered, "Lilith?"

Tio attempts to calm Lilith, who is currently crying. Inside the room, he can also hear her little sobs. Tio then discovered Lilith sitting on the floor alongside the bed. He can't help but feel pity for Lilith, her face lowered to her knees and her shoulders trembling.

Lilith was still crying after a while, and Tio was attempting to console her while chatting to her, but Lilith didn't say anything. She can't stop weeping.

Until Tio made the decision to call Colt. He must inform Colt of what was happening. He also wants to speak about Lilith with Colt because Tio is at a loss on what to do. He is doing his best, but it appears that Lilith is not listening to him.

On the other hand, Colt was on his way to his territory, and his mind was all twisted up. He can't seem to quit thinking about Lilith. He's also a little concerned. When Colt received Tio's call, he did not answer it, and he also did not respond to Tio's texts. Colt chose to ignore Tio's call because he wanted to unwind and think.

Tio, on the other hand, gave up after trying to speak with Colt. He sighed as he sat down and rested his back in the chair. He feels as if his strength has been sapped. Tio simply chose to keep his mouth shut while keeping an eye on Lilith.

Until Tio hadn't noticed he'd fallen asleep while watching out for Lilith for hours. On the other hand, Lilith remained seated on the floor, and upon glancing at the man seated on the chair inside the room, she discovered that Tio was already sleeping.

Lilith cautiously rose up and walked slowly towards the paper bags she had noticed near her bed. She then hurriedly checked what was inside the bag and saw some pairs of clothes, so she changed her dress quickly.

Lilith slowly heads towards the door to go outside after a few minutes. She hurriedly searched for food when she eventually escaped the room. She also took some food from the refrigerator after opening it. Lilith also noticed a wall clock, which alerted her to the fact that it was already 4 p.m.

Lilith decided to flee once more after eating. The door automatically opens as she cautiously reaches for it. Lilith was surprised when she recognized a figure approaching the door. She takes a quick step back and hides beneath the kitchen table.

Colt took a look at the kitchen table as he entered his home. Colt's timing is impeccable. He was aware Lilith would flee again, so he hastened back after visiting his territory.

Colt's voice echoed, "You may finally stop hiding, I saw you."

Lilith trembled with terror. That voice was familiar to her.

"Who are you, and who was the man with me earlier?" Lilith asked, her voice shaking.

Colt said, "Just come here."

Lilith took a deep breath and swallowed. She is adamant about not leaving the table where she has been hiding. Lilith is simply too terrified to show herself because she believes the man speaking to her would harm her.

"Look, I'm not a horrible guy," Colt argued, "so please come out now."

He's more concerned now that Lilith is acting strangely once more. She's also the reason Colt returned as quickly as he could.
