Galway, Ireland, 1745


Lili Awebrey was the daughter to William and Elizabeth Awebrey. William was a merchant, and wealthy for his trade. Elizabeth stayed home with the three children they had and taught, Lili and Mary, the oldest of the family’s children, how to grow up and be a noble women, such as herself. That was not the only work she did though, she had to be as beautiful as the neighbor and she did awesome at the job. Now out of the two sisters, Lili had inherited the good looks from her father. She would grow up to be a fine noble woman. She was not just a pretty girl, though, she was different then anyone else and only one boy seemed to notice that. A boy Lili had always fancied as one might put it. As Liam saw it Lili was independent, not the birdbrain other girls had become. She had a mind of her own and did not wait to be spoken too. Liam loved that about her. If no one else had asked her to marry then he would definitely ask. Lets start where this all begins, though. It is more interesting and life-like this way.


Lili Awebrey was late again. The dinner was already on the table. She probably shouldn’t have even thought about showing her face. But, something had pulled her there. She had no idea why. Her mother and father had told her that she was about ready to go to dinners and parties. That maybe, she should get ready to be married. So at that she had been invited to a home to have dinner with a family who her father had been a friend with. They supposedly had a boy. Which made her nervous and a little eager. What they are doing is selling me, she thought. My parents are going to give me to the highest paying slob, she thought harshly. Though, she thought such thoughts she was anxious to meet the boy her father had told her about.

“I hear he is strong and cunning,” her mother had said

“Yes, comes from a good home” her father answered

She was just to enter the big dining room when a young man walked by. He was hansom and the air around him seemed different then the other boys she felt so ill minded about.

“Going in there, miss?” he asked her

“Yes, I am” she said trying to be kind and not show that she had nearly ran here. “I am afraid, I am a bit late,” she told him, embarrassed.
“Not to worry, so am I” he told her and gently took her hand.

At any other time, Lili would have been, outraged, but the demeanor of this young man was so kind, that she fell in love with him. Something told her, he was in love with her too. “My name is Liam,” he told her.

“Hello, Liam” she said kindly, “ My name is Lili”

“What a pretty name” he told her and she felt like she would melt down, it was a feeling she had not felt before. “Thank you” she said in a reply.

“Do you mind if I accompany you?” he asked gesturing with his free hand toward the door.

“That would be lovely,” she said smiling and they opened the grand doors to the grand room.

When they entered, the room went quiet. She didn’t feel embarrassed like she would have if Liam had not accompanied her. The food was already on the table, two seats next to each other were empty and Lili new that they must be there’s. She saw her mother and her father sitting across from what appeared to be Liam’s mother and father. Liam’s sisters sat next to each other giggling, and somewhere music played.



Finally they were noticed. Her father looked up and smiled. It was of pride and she was sure that her father and mother weren’t mad at her. “I see that you have met Liam,” her father said

“Yes” she said smiling at Liam and he smiled back.

“Sit down, sit down” Liam’s father urged and they obliged, Liam walked her over to the seats she had spotted when they first walked in the grand ballroom. He politely pulled out the chair and she sat down, then he followed suit sitting next to her.

The rest of the talk among her parents and Liam’s parents were mostly of politics and certain crimes. As the dinner went on she felt Liam’s hand reach out for hers and he gripped hers. She smiled. If they were alone she would have been quite content with just talking with him, because she knew he was different. Not that kind of idiot the rest of the men had become. She took a deep breath; one day hopefully soon she would be able to confide in him. She felt that he was a friend and a lover. If all went well they may be married.

Dinner dragged on, and the discussions went into mindless drabbles. Liam introduced her to his little sister Kathy. She was a beautiful young girl and was very bright. Soon though the dinner came to an end. Her father and mother laughed at jokes that weren’t funny, and she felt the need to get into bed and dream. Perhaps, she would want to have Liam by her side. She sighed, such thoughts were lovely and quite exciting but that would have to wait. I barely know him, she thought to herself, but I am in love with him. She thought, smiling happily. Then it was time to go and she wanted to kiss Liam, but as she knew and she knew he did, that would let on way too much. Instead she smiled, and accompanied her mother out of the door. Then he called her back and said, “It was a pleasure to meet you.” And kissed her hand. She was in love.

The next morning she awoke with a happy outlook on her life. Liam, she thought dreamingly. She then went down to her mother who smiled. “You’re in love,” she said in Gaelic. “No,” she said widening her eyes, but if there was anyone in whom she couldn’t lie to it was her mother. “It is not a crime,” her mother answered

“That was our goal, we knew he was good for you” Her mother added walking over to her and brushing a brunette lock of curly hair away from her distressed face.


Lili narrowed her eyes in the way she always did and said. “We?”

“Your father and I” her mother told her.

“You planned for me too fall in love with Liam?” she asked incredulously.


“Yes, that was the plan” her mother told her.

“Well, its working” she told her mother who finishing breakfast.

“That’s what I hoped”

“Oh, but he is different, he is polite and quite handsome.”

“And you didn’t want to go” her mother taunted

She smiled as she thought of the man that had her heart. “I certainly love him”


As time went by many dinners had gone by and parties. Liam and Lili had met a couple of times on their own, and they had fallen in love. This meeting though it was time to tell him of the burden that she had recently just found out. “I have something to tell you,” she said rather sorrowfully.

“What is it?” he asked her taking her hand. “Tell me anything”

“I am a devil child,” she said, about to break into tears. “I know things before they happen, and I ignore them, I do and I go to confession and” she was stooped when he put his finger to her lips. “God is telling you of good things to come”, he told her she smiled and kissed him. “I love you,” she admitted to him. “Me too” he told her and they once again kissed.


Two weeks from that day, they had planned on getting engaged. It wasn’t final yet, they weren’t sure, they wanted to see the world. They weren’t planning on to stay in Galway. They wanted to be different then other couples. Liam wanted to give Lili freedom, and Lili wanted to have freedom. If anyone knew this though, it would be looked down on. And frankly, they didn’t care.

On a walk outside one night, Liam turned to her and took in a deep breath. “Why do you love me?” he asked

She smiled at him; “because I recognized something in you that was similar to myself” she cocked her head and tried to figure him out as she was saying this. “We are soul mates, I can feel it”

He nodded, and kissed her. “I have something for you”

“What?” she asked curiously smiling.

He knelt down smiling, and took her hand and kissed it. He reached in his pocket and bulled out a box. He opened it. “Lili Elizabeth Aubrey will you take my hand in marriage?” he said in an Irish brogue that was evident.

She was smiling and she felt happy tears well in her eyes, but then a dread came along with a feeling so familiar. A vision, she closed her eyes, and saw what was needed to be seen. He looked at her, “Are you alright?” he asked




She smiled at him and said, “Its nothing”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes”

“Alright”

She nodded, knowing that he didn’t know what she just saw. Tears were about to roll down her eyes. They were not to be married. She wouldn’t even be able to put the ring on before the vision came true. She felt lonely and lost. She was about to kiss him when she caught the demon, which she had seen in the vision she had just had, come toward both of them fangs barring. “Run!” she yelled and pushed him forward. “What?” he asked looking around. “Why?”

Then he spotted the demons, and grabbed her hand and they ran. But she stopped, shocked and in pain. “Liam” she said and he turned around and gasped. “What?” he said in a way as if he wanted to know how and why something had pierced her body. She looked down at the wound and saw an arrow sticking out of her body.

She fell forward and he caught her in shock. “Lili” he breathed as if he had been holding his breath. She tried to move her head to see if those monsters were still there, but the pain was too much. She moved her eyes so that she saw that the demons had run off to cause havoc elsewhere. She held her hands in a position around the wound. As if that would lessen the pain but it didn’t. She knew that she was going to die, but she wished it would be without pain.

Strangely, that familiar feeling over came her again and she had another vision. This one was of years in the future and it was of Liam. She breathed in deeply, hoping that the pain would subside. Liam grabbed her hand as he sat next to her. He had tears in his eyes, as she did and he was trying to call out for help.

“Liam” she whispered, he turned frantically toward her. Tears were flowing down his eyes.

“I just had a vision.” She tried to clear her throat but realized that she was dying and her voice was the first to go. “You are going to do great things someday”

“No” he said in a whimper, as he realized these were her parting words.

“It will be hard, as you will be on a path to redemption.” She smiled realizing that they would meet again one day. “But you will find her, and you will fall in love with her, she does great good and has blonde hair” she smiled again, knowing that she had brunette hair.

“Things will be rocky, but you will find each other.”

“Somehow” he cried and held her hand. “Lili”

“We will meet again” she smiled even though death was creeping up on her, she knew that she would be reborn. “I love you, Angel”

He looked up and stared at her. She knew he was questioning the name she had just called him but he would know soon enough.

“I love you too” he trembled and kissed her, like she wasn’t dying and it was great. She took in another deep; breath the pain was way too much.

“I’m still your girl, as always” she said, smiling, as that was her last breath. She closed her eyes and let the great oblivion envelop her. Liam cried silently by her side and then felt a certain rage and a peace overtake him. It was two opposite feelings conflicting in his body. Lili had just died, and he felt peaceful? “We will meet again,” he said echoing her words. The words made him feel peaceful. He loved her and he believed her. All he had to do is wait.

He had no idea what was coming.
