Lilith wore a "don't even ask" expression in response to Hagan noticing her, but thank god someone was there to help. She looked over to the apparition in disgust, then flinched when a thorn-ridden vine(??) dropped in front of her. Disregarding how painful it looked, the delinquent reached out to it.
Only for the vine to slip out of her grasp. Somehow, the apparition had managed to break apart their only means of escape in light speed, even with Lilith's abstraction applied to it. She found herself hitting the water again, with just a quick breath of air in her lungs. Clutching her throat, she could see the others sinking into the depths below her.
She had to help them, they can't die there!
But as Lilith reached out to them, death seemed inevitable. She could reform late on again, but what about the others? There was nothing she could do.
I'm sorry... She thought, before succumbing to her fate.
...
A voice. There was a voice she heard, a little girl. She seemed to be the creator of, what was the place called, Paradise? Where was she anyways? Lilith felt sad for her, but she couldn't reach out to the kid, could she?
How long was she out?
Once Lilith regained consciousness, she looked around to see children playing up and down the street. Weird, was this the same place they were in? The delinquent reached out to one of the kids near her, her hand phasing through the ghostly figure. Okay, they're not real. Now where is everybody? She knew they were still alive somewhere. And where was that kid she heard?
She stood up, shivering when the cold from the water finally hit her, and hurried over to the nearest extra-normals.
