This is a sad story about Lilliana.
Lillian is in a dark place; she has been all her life. She's addicted to drugs, addicted to anything that will make her feel nothing and loved at the same time.
Maverick, her best friend since childhood, enables these habits by selling her drugs. How is he to deny his best friend of her only source of happiness?
Malachi, older and showing up out of no where, enables her habits as well. Malachi finds gratification in watching others suffer greatly. He wants to help her fall hard, being there to witness it when she's unable to get up, loving every second.
Together, Maverick and Malachi will give Lilliana her purpose...
To die...and raise hell before the three of them go.
"Have you no will to live?
What are you lacking that makes your life unworthy of protecting? Are you not thinking about what I could do to you? What I would do to you?
I am, Anna Maria.
Who holds your fear if not I? Where does it go? I am jealous. No, this is not good. You've spoken just a few sentences to me. I have important things to attend to.
Do I need to make you scared, Anna Maria?"
