Chapter two : Lilith

This is the story of a village that was located deep into the forest. With a population of eighty to hundred people. They lived a peaceful life but they had their own beliefs and faith.

The villagers were strict worshippers of god and were against witchcraft and sorcery. If the head of the village had any suspicion on a certain family that they were indulged in witchcraft they would be cast out of the village and left wandering in the forest until eaten by a wild animal.

On a full moon day a couple had a baby. They were quite worried about how the villagers would react if they had come to know that the baby was born on a such a day. The villagers considered the baby to be a witch because she was born on a full moon day . After begging the head of the village and pleasing the church the girl was finally accepted by the villagers but she wasn't allowed to play with the kids nor allowed to attend any ceremonies. She was forbidden to enter the church as well.

Lily grew up to be the most beautiful girl in the village. Every man desired for her. The other girls were jealous of her beauty and mocked her by calling her a witch everytime they passed by her.

Lily had nobody except her parents. She used to help her mother by taking care of the sheeps and hens in their backyard. But one day, Lily's father fell prey to a deadly disease that made him more and more sick everyday. Lily and her mum begged people to help them but the people denied including the church and the head of the village.

After Lily's father died, the villagers blamed Lily for his death. And few days later Lily's mum died of the same disease. The villagers blamed Lily for their death. They claimed that she was the reason behind her family being infected by a deadly disease.

The villagers demanded the church and village head to cast her out of the village before she could become a threat to the village. They threw stones at her house and wrote "witch" all over her wall. Her life was miserable.

One evening, the village head invited Lily over to his place. She went to his place. The village head said that he knew that she was having a hard time due to the way the villagers were acting towards her and that he could protect her if only she would spend a night with him and share his bed. Lily was startled and she denied. The village head grabbed her hand and told her that he was the only one who could save her from the church and the villagers. But Lily said that she would rather be mocked by people than do something indecent.

The village head tried to rip off her clothes and force her but she picked a plate from the table next to her and hit his head with it. Lily escaped from his place crying and covering her chest with her hands because the village head had ripped that part which exposed her.

Few hours later, a group of people barged into her house and grabbed her from her hair and threw her out of her house. The village head and the head of the church appeared before her. The head of the village told the villagers that Lily had come over to his place and tried to seduce him in return to give her protection from the church and the villagers but then he denied so she smashed a plate on his head. Lily said that she was wrongly accused but nobody believed her. They pulled her from her hair and threw her out of the village.

Lily wandered the forest until she met a woman sitting by a fire wearing a red robe. She called out to Lily and told her to come closer and eat the meat she was cooking by the fire. This woman was beautiful and white as a snow. She asked Lily about how she ended up wandering in the forest all by herself and Lily narrated her the entire story.

The woman offered Lily to stay with her. They reached her house which was covered with huge trees. She prepared a hot water bath for Lily and prepared her tea. Lily offered to work for her as she was allowed to stay with the woman. The woman was in love with the beauty of Lily. She always praised Lily about how beautiful her skin looks.

The woman taught her about the various kinds of herbs so that it could come in handy for making medicines if she falls sick or hurts herself in the forest. The woman had also taught Lily to set up traps for animals.

One night,Lily heard sounds of whisper from outside the house. She went to check and found the woman bowing her head and praying to a statue of a lady. Lily quietly observed until the woman lifted her head and turned around. She called Lily and told her to sit next to her. The woman said that the lady in the statue is Lilith "mother of demons" and the first wife of Adam. And that from now on even Lily had to worship Lilith.

Lily didn't mind worshipping Lilith because the life she lived with the woman was much more peaceful then the days she spent in the village.

They used to perform rituals and conduct animal sacrifices to please the mother of demons to bless them with eternal beauty and immortality.

One day,when the woman and Lily went to collect herbs in the forest, a group of villagers were hunting for meat in the forest. While they were busy finding an animal to kill,they came across the house where the woman and Lily lived. They looked around the house and found the status of Lilith with stains of blood and bones all over it.

The villagers rushed back and told the church and the village head about the things they had seen in the forest.The church ordered a huge group of men to gather and burn that house to ashes.

The villagers marched through forest and tracked the house. They saw Lily and the woman through the window. Few men crashed their door and pulled both of them out of their house grabbing them by their hair. The woman begged the villagers to let them go but the villagers said that witches deserve no mercy.

Few villagers couldn't resist the temptation and beauty of the woman and brutally raped her again and again. Lily saw the brutal scenario and tried to run away but one of the villager stuck a pitch fork through her neck and ripped her head off. The woman screamed in pain and begged Lilith to save her from these monstrous people.

When all the men were done with her, they hung her upside down ***** from her roof along with Lily's body and burned the house into ashes.

They never told the church what they actually did nor the rest of the village knew what had happened……
