Emily and I spent a decent bit of time together that first night. I still needed to go visit Lilith, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to talk to her about.

  I wanted to be honest with her. About what I heard. And about the bracelet.

  And I think that Emily notices my apprehension.

  “Is everything ok?” she asks me, while my head was still in her p.

  I wasn’t sure what to tell her, since it was kind of, personal.

  But Emily was my girlfriend now, so why not talk to her about it.

  “I’m just thinking about what I told you this morning, and about Lilith” I tell her.

  “Hmm” Emily says, then flicks me in the ear.

  “Ow, what was that for?” I ask her.

  “For thinking about other girls while your with me” she said.

  “It’s not like that” I say, siting up from her p. “It’s just… your the first person I talked to about that stuff, and I don’t know how she is going to react”

  “Why are you nervous about this? She is your sister, how could she react to this that would be anything less then positive”

  “... She could call me a freak” I say, starting to pace around Emily’s dorm. I was actually very nervous about this.

  What Lilith thinks about me is probably more important than anyone else.

  “Why would she think that” Emily says, standing up and trying to calm me down.

  “Because” I suddenly yelled at her. I was starting to breath heavily. “Because I think that about myself sometimes”

  “Nyx” Emily said, in that sweet tone of hers.

  I did sometimes.

  I felt weird. For liking the things I did, for being the way I am.

  And I don’t know how others would react to it.

  “Nyx, I don’t think its going to be like that” Emily said, comforting me. She pulled me into a hug and stroked the back of my head.

  “You don’t know that”

  “Trust me, I think I understand your sister a little”

  ∴

  Lilith was pacing in her dorm after talking to Rose. She had a lot of things she needed to talk to Nyx about.

  Why was she given a personal maid?

  Her retionship with the princess.

  If she came by st night.

  And all of them were important.

  She also thought back on her time, and what lead to st night.

  When Lilith started at the magic academy, she distanced herself slowly from the friends she maid before, since they all started being different when school started.

  And a big reason was her interest in women.

  As the rest of her friends started to court men, she was focused on other things.

  And that lead her to meeting Amy and Cra.

  They were friends from before school started, and seemed to both like each other.

  What she did to that retionship wasn’t her proudest moment. Their retionship started as just hunting together.

  Lilith was the top of her css in several ways, and just below her were the two of them.

  And instead of them resenting her, they asked for help.

  So she helped them. They formed a party, and hunted together.

  And then one night, Lilith couldn’t help herself.

  She bit Amy.

  From there, the retionship between those two started, and quickly became physical.

  And they were god awful at hiding it.

  Which lead it to spread to Cra as well.

  Lilith often thought back to this, and was sad about it. She knew that they liked each other, and if she never interfered, they could have been more happy.

  But it spread out of control, and now there were 5.

  She had 5 girlfriends.

  As she continued to pace around her room, there came a knock on her door.

  ∴

  I was waiting outside of Lilith's room.

  I had changed out of my school uniform, and was now wearing casual clothes. I was nervous about everything still, but I needed to talk to her.

  Pushing my resolve, I knocked on her door.

  And a few seconds ter, Lilith answers the door.

  “Good evening, Nyx” she said, with a huge smile. “You look very cute”.

  “Oh, thanks” I tell her. “You look good as well”.

  “Come in, come in” she tells me.

  I walk into her dorm again.

  “What is it that you wanted to talk about?” I ask her.

  “Oh, just a few things, please take a seat” she said. She gestured to a coach she had so we could sit together, unlike st time.

  I sit down and she sits down right next to me.

  “So, I’m just going to start” Lilith said with a serious tone. “What kind of retionship do you have with Princess Emily?”

  “Um… We are dating” I tell her. I had no reason to hide this from her. I was pning on telling her eventually, like whenever I got a chance, but she just asked right off the bat.

  “Dating, huh” Lilith said, in a very dark tone. “Since when?”

  “This morning” I tell her.

  “Really… How… Isn’t that kind of fast?” she asks.

  “Maybe, I don’t really have a frame of reference. I know other people are dating in my css already” I tell her. “And it kind of just happened this weekend”

  “You seemed kind of distant on saturday, is this why?” she asks.

  “Kind of. Emily kind of sprung her feelings on me during a confrontation between another group while hunting, and I didn’t know what to do…”

  “What happened?”

  “So I ran away and avoided her. And then I hunted with you the next day. Then I couldn’t sleep, so I came…” And I stoped.

  If I told her I came to talk to her, she would know what I overheard.

  “So you couldn’t sleep? What happened next?”

  “I fell asleep and that was the end of the story” I said, and stood up from the coach. “Its te, I should get some sleep” I said, in probably the most unconvincing tone ever.

  “Nyx”

  “Good night Lilith”

  “NYX!” Lilith said, pushing me into a wall and smming her hand right next to my head. “What happened” she said.

  Her tone was so commanding. It would probably have been scary to anyone else, but to me.

  I could feel my face flush and my breathing getting heavy. Like this excited me, like I did when Emily pushed me down and kissed me.

  “What happened” she said again.

  “I, I came down to talk to you” I said, breathing heavily, my heart racing.

  “You came down… to talk to me” Lilith said. “But… And I was with…” she said, murmuring to herself. “You overheard, didn’t you?”

  She backed away from the wall but I stayed pressed against it.

  For some reason, I didn’t want her to stop.

  “Yeah” I tell her.

  She fully backed away from me now, and started to pace back and forth.

  “I, I didn’t want you to know about that” She said, not looking at me anymore.

  “Lilith” I said, trying to clear my head. It was spinning with thoughts about Lilith. About what I overheard.

  What I did after.

  My hand moved to the hem of my skirt, but I forced myself to stop.

  I came here, both st night and tonight to talk to Lilith about the bracelet, and this was just getting in the way.

  “Lilith” I said, trying to get back on topic. “I need to talk to you about something. This can wait”.

  This gets her to stop pacing and look at me. “What?”

  “I cam here st night to talk to you about something, and I still haven’t gotten the chance”

  “Is everything ok?” she asked me, concern entering her voice.

  “Can we please sit back down?” I ask her. Having this conversation with her pacing around would only make this harder.

  “Sure…” she said. I could hear the feelings in her voice. She was concerned about me, which only made this harder.

  We sat down, now facing each other.

  ∴

  Shit Lilith thought, seeing her sister facing her on the other side of her coffee table.

  She didn’t know what she wanted to talk about, and was nervous it was about her retionship.

  “Umm, I don’t know where to start…” Nyx said to her.

  “You can tell me anything” Lilith tells her.

  “So… I know that you have been calling me your sister for a long time now” Nyx starts. “But, that isn’t necessarily true”

  “Nyx, is this about the first day of school?” Lilith asked her. She thought back on the first day of this term, and remembered that Nyx was wearing the male uniform. She was annoyed about this, remembering how cute her sister normally was.

  “Kind of” Nyx said. “So, you know that most of my life, thanks to you and mom, I’ve worn girl clothes”

  Lilith knew this. She was one of the main reasons, but she always assumed that Nyx was ok with it. But this being brought up here, made her think.

  What if she didnt… I mean… Fuck She thought to herself.

  “Nyx, if you don’t like” Lilith started, trying to save anything she could.

  “No” Nyx said. “It's not that I didn’t like it. Not at all. More like, like it a lot. To the point where not wearing them felt wrong” they expined. “So, when I got this magic item, it helped me realize something”

  Nyx then gestured to their wrist, where Lilith noticed a nearly invisible bracelet.

  “It's called the androgyne bracelet. And it lets me change my gender” Nyx tells Lilith. “And when I put it on and activated it, it all made sense.”

  “I don’t follow” Lilith said. She was happy that Nyx didn’t hate the girl's clothes, but was confused by this st bit.

  “I think I was supposed to be a girl” Nyx said, looking down, not being able to look at Lilith.

  ∴

  I told her. I was able to tell Lilith what was bothering me.

  It was silent for a few seconds, before she said anything.

  “That's fine” she says. “And that bracelet makes it so that physically…”

  “Yeah” I say, shyly.

  “Great” Lilith said. “Is that what you wanted to talk about?”

  “Um, yeah. That was it”

  “Cool, so, I do have some stuff to ask you, as well” Lilith said.

  “Um, ok, whats up?”

  “You are interested in girls, right?”
