'No wonder you think I'm so immature, then. Did you never do anything 'bad' as a kid? Or spend any time with other kids at all?' Chance asked, incredulous.

"Uh... Other kids don't normally play with girls that have red eyes, Chance." *Lilith shook her head, running a hand through her hair.* "I only spent time with my brother. And as for doing something 'bad' I really don't know... I kept to myself mostly but of course I always had a few accidents every now and then. Broke some things once or twice I think. That's about it though."

'Wow.... ' Chance stared at lilith in amazement. 'That's crazy... I would've died if I wasn't allowed to run amok and wreak havoc.'

*Lilith just laughed a little, shaking her head as they walked outside.* "Yeah... I can just imagine you as a child... But I'm sure that you were at least entertaining."

'Eh.... for a while..... then I just got annoying,' Chance admitted. 'It's not like I asked to be born or anything, though, so my parents shouldn't have gotten as annoyed with me as they did.'

*Lilith frowned slightly, casting him a curious glance.* "Annoyed with you? How could anyone be annoyed with you?"

Chance shrugged, 'Well... don't all parents get annoyed with their children once in a while even when they're normal and generally well-behaved? I wasn't even well-behaved so they got annoyed with me more than once in a while I guess.'

*Lilith sighed, nodding slightly.* "Well, I was well behaved and my parents got annoyed with me too so at least you're not alone there..." *She fell silent, not really wanting to discuss the topic further. Her family want's exactly something fun to talk about, neither was her childhood. She imagined Chance probably felt the same way. So instead, she changed the subject to school and their classes as they walked around the property. After a while, when night had finally fallen and the stars started to show, Lilith saw a figure ahead of them. Because of her excellent night vision, she immediately recognized him as her brother Adam. He soon caught sight of her and Chance, but there was something about his movements and the look of him that made Lilith uncomfortable.* "Um... Chance... Can I have some time with my brother? We didn't exactly leave on the best terms earlier..."

((Yay!! Thank you Kait!!))
Chance looked at Lilith then glanced ahead of them, to see a figure approaching. He shrugged and nodded. 'Yeah sure. I hope everything goes alright...' Chance trailed off before turning and starting to walk back towards the mansion.

*Lilith watched Chance go before looking to Adam, who was approaching quickly.* "Is that you, Lil?" "Yes... Listen, Adam... I'm sorry about earlier..." "I'm sure you're used to being sorry... You should be." *Lilith frowned slightly as he got closer. Something didn't feel right.* "... I am... Please forgive me, Adam... I really didn't mean to upset you..." "... Forgive you? Forgive YOU?! How the hell do you expect me to forgive you?! Don't you realize what you've done! All my life, I've been made fun of because of my freak of a sister! You almost kill my mom and then my parents get divorced because of you! Do you know how many nights I stayed awake listening to them argue and scream about you?! And you want me to forgive you?!" *Lilith could smell the alcohol on his breath as he yelled in her face. She quickly took a few steps back but he just kept moving forward.* "Adam, please... I never meant to... Maybe I should just go--" "Go what?! Ruin my life some more?! You know, I should've done something about you a long time ago! You're nothing but trouble and someone needs to put you back in your place!" *Lilith tried to run but Adam grabbed her by the arm before she could get away. He raised his free hand and before Lilith could react, he slapped her as hard as he could, her head snapping to the side from the force of the blow. Stunned, Lilith raised a hand to her stinging cheek, but she didn't have time to focus on it very long. Her brother shook her roughly, his eyes wild. He hit her again, nearly bringing tears to her eyes.* "What are you doing?!" *He didn't respond. He just hit her again and again... Lilith tried to get away but didn't fight back, terrified that causing him any injury might bring her into contact with his blood...* "Adam! Stop! Please!" *Yelling curses and any deragatory name he could, he pushed her, causing her to hit the ground hard as his blows and kicks continued to rain upon her.* ((Whew... ))

By the time the yelling started Chance was too far away to see what was going on and he couldn't make out much of what was said, but it didn't matter to him. He had had a bad feeling about about Adam the moment he had seen him standing in the entrance of the mansion with his mother and now the thought of Lilith being alone with him sent Chance sprinting back to where he left her.
Once he got within range, Chance wasted no time throwing himself at Adam, hitting him furiously and quickly wearing out his store of profanities, anything to distract him from Lilith.
((And they said violence isn't fun.... ;D))

*Lilith had closed her eyes to avoid seeing her brother's rage-filled eyes, but when the blows stopped and another voice joined the cursing, she opened them to see someone furiously beating Adam. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was...* "Chance!" *Although her body burned with pain, Lilith shakily got to her feet, unable to believe what was happening. She watched the two of them, not knowing what to do. Adam was older but in his drunken stupor, he was definitely no match for Chance, much to Lilith's surprise. She wasn't sure if she should be happy that he was winning or not... Her only friend was up against her brother... But Chance was the one defending her... the one who cared about her. As Adam continued trying to fight back, Lilith grew worried that he might actually hurt Chance...* "Leave him alone, Adam!"

As he heard Lilith's voice Chance abruptly stopped fighting and scrambled away from Adam as best he could, attempting to put some distance between them. Lilith probably didn't want to see her brother hurt, even if he did deserve it, and Chance only wanted him to stop hurting her, which he had done for now, so there was no point to continue as long as Adam backed off.

*Lilith stared at Adam as he wiped some blood from his mouth, glaring at Chance... and then her.*
"Screw this... I'm not done with you, Lilith. I'll get you when your friend here isn't around. You just wait..."
*As he shot one last glare at Chance before quickly walking away, Lilith looked at her friend, not really sure what to say. She wanted to cry, but she managed to hold back her tears for now... She took a few steps toward Chance, still in shock from everything...* "Are you... are you all right...? He didn't hurt you, did he...?"

'Nothing to worry about,' Chance shrugged lightly, staring into the darkness Adam had dissappeared into. 'You, on the other hand, I'm sure are a different story. I mean, you're hurt pretty bad, right?' he turned his gaze to Lilith, then looked to the ground, feeling guilty for some reason.
