“Are you going to kill him?” she asked and Lily didn’t see why to lie so she told the girl she was. “Good! He deserves it, he told me what he did to people and that he was going to do the same to me,” Wendy told her.
“Well not anymore,” Lily replied and repeated for the girl to leave. She was surprised to see the girl hesitant to leave but did as Lily told her.
Once the girl had left Lily walked over to the doctor searching through his pockets quickly finding what she was looking for. She smiled ever so slightly as she took the small and thankfully unbroken vial he had tried to bribe her with earlier. Xavier gave a pained laugh as she stored it away in a small pocket. “Shut up,” she snarled at him grabbing him by the back of his collar dragging him over to the medical table and strapped him there.
“Remember this,” Lily asked as she unsheathed her silver knife. Straddling the doctor, she held it before him. Xavier looked at the knife with fear. “This was the knife you used to murder Kyle. He came to you Xavier as a confused, upset boy, you promised to give him the power to make all those who bullied him and insulted him finally start to respect him,” she explained.
“He did everything you told him to. He faked to kidnap that boy a couple of months ago, and I am sure he was the one that gave those two teens the pills that killed them. He broke into my lab, destroyed it, knocked me out, stole those pills, and gave me the serum that made me into a werewolf! And he did all that at your orders in hopes everyone; especially you would give him a little respect!” Lily snarled at him running the flat of the blade across his cheek letting the silver burn him.
Xavier cried out in pain and Lily drank on it as her vampire drinks blood. “James is an arrogant jerk, but he didn’t deserve to be your captive for two years as your little test subject. I don’t even want to imagine the pain you made him go through,” Lily roared at him pushing the blade harder into his cheek. She removed the blade wiping the blood and burned flesh stuck on the blade off on his shirt.
“How long have you feed into Lacy’s insecurities, did you ever plan on giving what you promised her?” Lily asked ripping open his shirt. She ran the flat of the blade down his chest enjoying the sound of his cries. “Save some of your cries for later, dear doctor. It’s time for you to pay back every single ounce of pain and suffering you’ve caused. That’s a lot of pain and suffering, this is going to take quite a while,” She told him and he looked at her horrified.
“Lily this isn’t you. You’re not like this,” he panted. “You’re losing control to the monsters within you,” he tried to reason.
“Monsters?” Lily asked with an amused tone. “So before it was a gift and now you say they’re monsters. How do you like that, girls?” She asked once more speaking to the beast and her vampire; both raged with indignation and demanded blood. “That’s what I thought,” she stated turning her gaze once more to the doctor. He was shaking with fear now. “You’re going to have to pay for that one too,” she told him with pure morbid pleasure.
Lily looked at what was left of the now lifeless body of Xavier and a feeling of satisfaction filled her. His cries of pain and pleas for mercy filled her ears like sweet music that was until she drained him making him too weak to even beg for his life. With a smile, she left the room cleaning her hands with Xavier’s shirt. A small gasp escaped the teen’s lips when she saw Lily, who had completely forgotten about her. “What are you still doing here?” she snapped with irritation.
“You told me to wait for you… and I have seen the… things he keeps here. He made sure I knew them… and what they would do to me if I left my room,” she explained and “You know the way out and can protect me from those things. I am sure,” Wendy finished.
“That is if I choose to protect you. Why I should risk myself for some snot nosed brat,” Lily snapped back and the girl looked at her with confusion.
“But I thought that…” the girl started and Lily growled.
“That’s the problem you thought,” she barked back and the girl took a step back with fear. Lily scowled causing the girl to take another step back but the scowl wasn’t directed at the girl but herself. Now where the hell did that come from, she asked herself inwardly but already knew the answer. She was losing connection with her humanity and vampires aren’t exactly the most caring of species. “Give me a minute kid,” she snapped but with slightly less bitterness in her voice.
Lily turned away from her, taking deep breaths. Neither the beast nor the vampire wanted to go back, they like being this in control and fought against her. She growled as she attempted to dig deep inside herself to find her humanity and herself forcing the others back down into their cages within her. A little by little she grew stronger than them. With a sigh of relief and exhaustion, Lily felt herself return to normal as her body gave out from the exertion.
The teen grabbed her around her waist. “Are you alright?” she asked worried and Lily nodded without looking at her. “What are you?” Wendy asked again sounding curious. Lily couldn’t help but laugh as she leaned against the wall.
“That is a good question, I don’t think they have a name for me since I am not really a hybrid,” she replied. “I sort of have a split personality problem with a monstrous beastly werewolf and a vampire,” Lily explained and oddly enough the teen seemed to accept that.
“So what happened now? Before you were different than you are now,” she asked the curiosity easily notable.
“Well, we all three were smashed into the driver’s seat. I was closer to being a true hybrid then,” Lily replied. The girl nodded once more seemingly accepting Lily’s answer. “I’m sorry about before, I wouldn’t ever just leave you here. My beast and vamp kind of need to be taught about how the good guys act,” Lily apologized and the teen laughed as she accepted the apology.
“Come on Wendy let’s get you to your father,” she said pushing herself off the wall and walking in the direction she had come through before but stopping quickly. “I’m Lily by the way and you would do me a huge favor Wendy if you didn’t tell your father that I told Xavier I was going to kill you to get to him. You father isn’t exactly my biggest fan and if he found out I said that he probably would drop kick me out of his territory,” she stated and Wendy smiled a small smile.
“Don’t worry about my father, I’ll take care of him,” she replied offering Lily support while they walked down the hall slowly. “I got him wrapped,” she added holding up her pinky finger and Lily had to laugh. That she would have to see.
They returned to the observation room where she had broken through the window and Lily held Wendy and jumped down to the cement portion. “Did you do that,” Wendy asked amazed and Lily grimaced at the body of the dead hybrid and answered the girl. “Wow, that’s amazing. He made sure I saw what that monster could do,” Wendy replied and Lily shook her head. The world was a better place now that Xavier was gone, though when she started to think about what she had done earlier to him made her want to throw up. Now was not the time, she told herself.
They arrived back at the metal door and Lily wished she didn’t destroy the keypad. Now she had no way to open the damn thing. “Damn,” she cursed softly and Wendy gave her a confident, smug look.
“I think I can get it open,” she stated walking over to the mess of ripped out cables.
“Don’t get yourself electrocuted,” Lily warned her as the girl began manipulating the multicolored cables. Wendy laughed shaking her head side to side.
“Don’t worry I know what I am doing. Electronics is my thing,” she explained.
“As long as you don’t get electrocuted, we’re cool,” Lily told her with a smile which the teen quickly return. After several minutes, several sparks flew through the air and the door slid open. Wendy returned to help Lily with a smug “see I told you” look as they started towards the door but stopped as soon as they saw the mass of people suddenly looking at them.
