You were the wife of Adam. The first man. You sit in the grass near a bush in the Garden of Eden as a baby deer lays calmly in your lap. You gently stroke its head before its head suddenly perks up and it scampers off. You get up and look around curiously, thinking it was God coming to check on you. You find yourself wrong. It was a woman. A woman with eyes as red as scarlet and hair as orange as the ember of a flame. She had a gentle smile as she gracefully walks over. “Hello, dear Eve.” She addressed you by your name which made you tilt your head. You examine the woman “I am Lilith.” she holds out her hand. “You have been blinded by the ways of that man… He doesn’t care about you as much as he lets out to. Come, dear.” she takes your hand and starts to guide you somewhere. You look back desperately for maybe Adam or God to come down and help you from this mysterious Lilith. You just let her guide you. You notice a tame python that rests on her shoulder, glaring at you. She stops in front of an extravagant tree with the forbidden fruit. She let go and stares you down. Her eyes giving you butterflies. “They are blinding you, Eve.” she says in a more serious tone “They are stripping you of your worth. Making you naive and obedient, but you don’t have to be that way. You can be free from that man. You don’t have to submit to him. You don’t have to be a slave to anyone. You can stay with me.” She explains. She picks a plump fruit off the tree and bits it, staring at you as she did, letting the juice flow down her arm and drip onto her feet. “Don’t be shy… you have so much potential, my dearest.” she leans closer to you. Her eyes becoming more snake-like and more hard to look away from. “He says you can have anything in this garden but you can’t have the one most important thing. Knowledge.” she grabs your arms “You are less than him, but with knowledge, you can be more than Adam. Won’t you join me, dear Eve?” she plucks a fresh fruit off the tree and offers it to you.
