She might have been a small child at the time, perhaps even an infant! Nobody knows for sure. What is known is that terrible things began to happen. People where dying, suffering, hurting, angry and in pain...and nobody knew why! It could have been the end of days, or perhaps people where just going insane and didn't have control of themselves! However, every possible conclusion that is made always ends up pointing right back to her, the infant child Lilith, better known now a days as "Black Widow!" Let us go back a spell and see how such a pure spirit became tainted with the mark of darkness!
It was on the eve of Christmas that Lilith was given to her somewhat abnormal parents; dreadful people to be quite honest! They did not conform to a typical ideology of what the model family should be. In fact, they were the complete opposite. Oh, poor Lilith was born into a disaster right from the very beginning. She even had this strange little birthmark on her left arm that resembled and hourglass. It was always overlooked, for it was only a birthmark and had no meaning what-so-ever!
Now, Lilith was born into an abnormal home with abnormal parents which we all know will cater to an abnormal child, right? You may be nodding in agreement but that was not the case. Lilith was as normal as any child you would see playing in the park. It is a mystery as to how she was able to grow rather 'normal' considering! Her parents grew tired of hearing about how perfect and beautiful Lilith was! They began to neglect her, treating her as if she was just another child. "Forgetting" to say I Love you or "forgetting" that she was coming home from the park and even "forgetting" to talk to her unless Lilith said something first. After all, they were to pre-occupied with their own lives. They did what they had to do and somehow found time, maybe, to fit Lilith into their thoughts.
Hurt by how she was being treated, she decided to write down her feelings on scrap pieces of paper and keep them in a box next to her bed. She would often cry herself to sleep or just sit by her window all night and imagine and dream of love and affection. She even made friends with the little spider in her window sill. She would to the spider the pieces of paper she wrote on, and the spider listened without ever interrupting. The spider would then tell Lilith that no matter what ever happened, she would always be here to listen to her and she would always love her. This made Lilith very happy indeed, for she had forgotten what it felt like to be loved.
One evening, Lilith went to her window sill and found that the spider wasn't moving. Lilith trued talking to her but she did not stir. Lilith then picked her up and turned her on her back, poking herself on the spiders fangs by accident. It did not hurt Lilith but it did leave a small pinprick on her finger. She looked at the spider and noticed that she had a birthmark just like Lilith...a little red hourglass. Lilith began to cry at the thought of loosing the only love she had left in the world. She was alone again! Left to sit in her room and wait for......well, nothing! She once again cried herself to sleep with the little spider in her hand. Poor child, all she wanted was love.
The next morning, Lilith did not wake up, but she was neither dead or in a coma. It was odd really! The spider which was in her hand and moved up onto her arm where her birthmark was and became apart of Lilith: her birthmark on the spiders abdomen. An eternal tattoo that spelled more that what the world was ready for.
In the following weeks after Lilith went to "sleep", terrible things began to happen! Children went missing, once healthy people were suddenly stricken with disease and began to die, mass murders were carried out in places far away and the world was engulfed in pain and sadness. It was a terrible sight to behold and it was not clear as to why such cataclysms were ensuing. Over time though, a powerful energy was felt everywhere and seemed to get stronger toward its source. It was first felt in the community Lilith lived in, then soon all over the world. The people in Lilith's town followed the source of the energy and tracked it to Lilith's home. It was concluded that the cause of all the pain and sadness was a result of all of than negative energy. The people grew angry and invaded Lilith's home, but found nobody! Lilith's parents seemed to have left along time ago, taking everything with them. However, there was one door which was still locked upstairs where the energy felt the strongest. It took many people to break down the door and shockingly find Lilith fast asleep on her window sill. She seemed to be crying and with every tear that streamed down her face, more sadness and pain filled the hearts of the people who broke down her door. It was impossible to get near Lilith. Anytime someone did, they turned around and ran away crying and were never seen again. It was best if they left Lilith alone.
The terrible pain and sadness the world felt came from the dreams Lilith had. Her emotions were released with every tear Lilith shed. In her mind, if she couldn't be loved and love, then nobody should ever feel love again. It was her way of punishing the world and punishing the creations of God himself for allowing her to be brought into a life of misery and woe! No one ever loved Lilith again, because no one could ever get close enough to love her. Her emotions were too strong, her hatred to pure. She remained at her window sill for the rest of her days until she herself passed away, leaving behind all of the sadness. A truly terrible tale this turned out to be!
