[/color]" Lilith murmured to herself, inhaling sharply to chase away the thoughts that were now starting to scare her again. The idea of a monster was scarier when you gave the monster a reason to come and find you.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]Monsters. Monsters frequented her dreams and gave her reason to wake up early in the morning on this particular day. Monsters were her excuse when she stumbled through the hallways and gave the teachers a dazed, 'even if I wanted to pay attention, I couldn't' expression during her second day of classes at the school. Funnily enough, Lillith Malixi did not believe in monsters when she was awake. Well... At least not when the sun was shining outside. So when classes finished for the day for her, Lilith made up her mind. She was going to find out where the monster sounds she laid awake at night listening to were coming from. But first, the sun had to set.
After dinner had finally finished, Lilith went back to her dorm, pulled on her one piece grey suit, belt, and mask for her poisons- just in case something went astray and she was in a situation where she'd be breathing in the poison, too. The capsule placed in her mask was empty right now, just to seal the mask completely. The ones on her belt were full of poisons- some she didn't even remember creating. Lilith checked herself in the mirror, making sure the outfit looked to be in order. She still put on her uniform jacket and pants over it, just to avoid being in any unnecessary trouble with the prefects. She'd been warned about the prefects by several people, yet it hadn't yet been forty-eight hours since her dad dropped her off outside the school.
Like sneaking out in its own wasn't bad enough, she could add not knowing hardly anyone to why she'd be in trouble for this. But if it was just a student, not a teacher, they couldn't do much... Right? Her thoughts were interrupted when she realized her gray suit was still visible beneath the uniform, not to mention how out of place her mask was. She just hoped they didn't notice her at all tonight.
Lilith Malixi felt she was ready. Without a single word, she slipped through the hallways, then into the basement, a small keychain flashlight clutched in her one hand, held down by her waist. With every step, it trembled with the movement, throwing light in odd places for brief moments before shadows rushed in to fill the space once again. Each step deeper into the basement only made her more fearful, which was apparent if anyone were to see the wide eyed look she sported. She was going to do this anyway.
No one ever mentioned cleaning supplies... monsters, kids who were locked in from detention years prior and never let out, but not mop buckets. Running into one and being sent tumbling to the floor evoked a scream from the fifteen year old. The mask only slightly muffled the high pitched cry. After the sound escaped her lips, she covered her mask quickly with one hand, before tucking the flashlight into a pocket with the other. After hesitating just a moment to make sure she was okay, she righted the empty, dusty bucket and got back to her feet, brushing away the dust from her uniform.
"Not a monster. Someone must have forgot to move that. It's okay.
