• The first time they met was back in Radiant Garden, she was 12 back then. And now at 14 Lilith lied in bed thinking back on their first encounter. She was going to visit Ansem the Wise, to ask for his help on the homework she was assigned, Aerith was too busy, and Yuffie was just as confused as she was. Lilith remembered knocking on the door to his study, but didn't hear his voice, so she just walked right in. That's when she met him. There was a tense silence between them, he had asked who she was, she answered, but didn't ask who he was, he had introduced himself anyway, and now she couldn't even recall his name. There was something off about him, and Lilith did not stay too long, making up some sort of excuse that she was wanted back home. She bid him a farewell, and left praying to whatever entity was out there, that this would be only meeting. She ran back home, her question left forgotten.
    Sighing Lilith sat up in her bed, wanting to forget about that awful man, unfortunately that first meeting was far from their last. He would approach her asking her opinion about the many different worlds that were out there, asking her questions about the darkness, to which all she provided answers. Other times he would just stare at her, with a look that unnerved her. So she would avoid him at all costs. His golden eyes would rove over her like an unwanted caress. "Who are you?" Lilith asked aloud to no one in particular. She waited the silence in her room being her only answer. Suddenly she heard quiet laughter in the dark, and a smooth velvet deep voice, "I am whoever you want me to be, my love...." Lilith's eyes widened, and she trembled quietly. Was there someone in her room? If so, then when did they get in. "Where are you," she demanded. More quiet snickering, followed by another answer, "I'm all around you my sweet child..." She looked around in the dark, feeling nostalgic almost, she called his name, out of habit, "Genesis....?" There came no answer...until suddenly the dark voice said to her...., "You break my heart...." She soon felt the darkness of her room closing in on her like walls, making her feel a little claustrophobic. It almost made her sick. A pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her from out of the darkness, "Who are you," she whispered, feeling drowsy. The dark man laughed, "I am anyone you want me to be.." Lilith sighed sickly, and whispered, "Genesis....? Angeal...?" The man's hold on her tightened, his lips brushed against her ear, "All wrong, try again..." Lilith shook her head stubbornly to fight off the drowsiness, " I thought you said I could call you whatever you want.." Suddenly Lilith felt a powerful headache, memories flooded back to her, "No....." She whispered. "Say it," the voice told her. She weakly turned her head, daring to look at the man. White hair, tan skin, gold eyes. Lilith felt nauseous and swallowed her bile back. "Ansem....." Then her vision faded, it became too dark to see, the rest was followed by more sinister laughter.....
