She started towards him, growling when he shot her. She winced and expected more pain, but it was only a little sting. She then realized he shot her with a dart; he wasn't going to kill her but simply to knock her unconscious. She howled with rage. "No, the coward," she screamed in silent fury as her vision started to blur. She shook her head, trying to clear it but to no avail. She stumbled as she felt her limbs starting to go numb. She begged her body to wake up; she wasn't ready to stop fighting. She collapsed to the floor as everything went black.
Lily moaned as she felt the darkness starting to recede. With much more effort than she had expected, she managed to slowly open her eyes. A bright light rained down on her and she squinted. She turned her head with another moan, attempting to get her eyes to focus. Slowly the sterile white wall came clear and she was aware she was lying upon something uncomfortably cool. She attempt to sit up to escape the chill but found she couldn't move her arms or legs.
She lifted her heavy head and saw she was shackled to a metal bed with thick metal bands, she couldn't move in the slightest. At least she was dressed in a thin white gown but shuddered, not wanting to think of exactly how she had gotten dressed. She had destroyed her clothing when she'd shifted.
Lily suddenly noticed the array of tubes attached to her arms. Some each was filled with a liquid of a distinct color. "No, no, no," she began to plead pulling at her arms. Only God knows what Xavier was injecting her with, maybe he had already changed her. She shook her head in denial, she can't be changed. She screamed, pulling at her arms with all her strength. She had to stop it, no matter what the cost!
The cold bands bit into her flesh and the warm blood dribbled down her wrists, but she still didn't stop pulling her wrists against the restraints. "Lily, you'll never be able to free yourself. You're only hurting yourself frivolously. Seriously you are such a willful woman," Xavier said from somewhere behind her. She snapped her head towards the sound and saw him smiling at her smugly. She curled her lip in a snarling growl at him.
He smiled down at her with a look one could almost confuse with affection. He brought his hand closer to her, but she snapped at him. He chuckled again managing to avoid her sharp teeth as he brushed the hair from her face. "Now Lily, don't be foolish," he said, kneeling down until his face was level with her. "This is going to happen whether you want it or not so save your energy instead of wasting it on such futile attempts of escaping," he told her with a soft tone.
"You are something special, you know that. You're intelligent, attractive but what amazes me most is the incredible strength you have. You keep getting up no matter how many times you are knocked down. Your parents neglected you and you had to climb out your own bedroom window in the dead of night to escape some of their more unmoral guests," he started and she looked at him in shock.
She never told anyone about the men that would creep into her bedroom during those parties that her biological parents had thrown, except Andrew. "Yes, the alpha told me the story. Many people become hateful bitter creatures or timid fearful ones with experiences like that but not you. You fearlessly faced Kyle even though he could have killed you more easily than you can imagine. I forced you to change into one of us and yet you have completely embraced what you've become," he told her as he stood up and walked until he was in front of her.
"What the hell do you want, what's with all this flattery Xavier?" she snarled and he laughed loudly making her even madder. "You better not change me or I swear the first thing I do is kill you," she threatened him pulling against the metal bands again.
"Yes, yes I know you will try but you won't get anywhere with that one," he told her with a cold smile. "Did you really think I would create creatures much stronger than myself without any type of protection? You should know that I wouldn't do something so stupid. Out of all of those idiots, you were the only one who recognized that none of them could stop me. So you should know by now that I always have an ace up my sleeve!"
"Why are you doing this, what is the possible gain for creating monsters?" Lily asked glaring at him.
"None of my creations are monsters, but the next step of evolution and I have created this evolutionary step because dear Lily, Andrew and most of the pack is a bunch of slobbering idiots. Andrew has no right being alpha! I should've been alpha, but I was denied my right to challenge him when his father died. The elder council laughed at my request, they laughed at me! Said it would be a waste of time for me to challenge him. Of course, I could never beat him with brute physical strength but I had intelligence on my side," Xavier explained with a passionate, crazed look in his eyes.
"I knew his weaknesses and I knew I could beat him in a physical fight using a strategic defense! So I decided if they only respected brute strength I would give them brute strength! I had planned to crush the alpha and the elder council. I wanted to change myself at the start, but I realized I am too old for such a physical change so I would have to use my creations," he told her kneeling down to face her once more.
"However that didn't work out quite well. Kyle was eager but foolish, always acting before thinking! Even though he is a superior being, Greg is submissive as a little pup with that only seeks to please his alpha. The only one true perfection is James but he hates what he is and it's really rather disappointing! Recently I have acquired some new allies that are interested in my research. We have come to an agreement," Xavier went on.
"You're nothing but a traitor, betraying your pack with another. What exactly is it that you promised them?" Lily asked wondering how far the betrayal of Xavier had gone and just how much he is willing to risk for his stupid idea of being the better alpha. Xavier laughed at her once more so loudly it echoed off the walls.
"Sorry, my dear but I am not going to tell you the little details of my plan, but I understand you think the way you do, but I'm sure someone like you will understand in time. Don't worry I won't hold these words against you later," he told her with a forgiving tone that made Lily scowl at him, hating the fact he could be so delusional to think that she could possibly want his forgiveness one day.
"The pack will never accept you, Xavier," she started looking up at the ceiling. "Even if you kill off Andrew, Tony, and all of the elder council, the pack will never ever accept you!"
"Yes I know, those idiots would resist a good thing when they have it right in front of their faces and in this lifetime I could never get them to submit but once again as I said my new allies are going to help me with that. The pack will submit eventually once they realize they have no other choice, I shall create a new order then," he told her with excitement and she stared at the man before her. She looked into his eyes and literally could see his insanity.
He walked over to some metallic cabinets pulling out a syringe and returned back to her side. She attempted to move far away from him as much as possible "Originally I had planned to make you like James for him. So he could have his mate, someone to care for. Let Adam have his Eve... as long as he did what I said. However after speaking with my new friends, I realized I have been thinking too small and I've made changes to my plan accordingly," Xavier explained flicking the syringe and squirting some of the bright blue liquid from it.
"Why change just our pack, when I could change the whole world. With the help of my allies I have recently finished my masterpiece but this is only for someone special, someone really deserving of such a gift, of such power," he continued and she swallowed hard keeping her eyes on the syringe in his hands.
"You really are Dr. Frankenstein and just as freaking crazy too," she shot pulling on the shackles that held her down. Xavier frowned and narrowed his eyes at her.
"I am not crazy Lily just a visionary. In this syringe is the first step towards a gift that will make you and others like us the elite of all the creatures in this world. Under our wise rule, we can rebuild this world. No longer will the physically strong be valued over intelligence. No longer will it be survival of the fittest! I will create a new law of nature!" Xavier proclaimed the mad look in his eyes growing.
"No, I don't want any part of this! You can't just use people as your personal guinea pigs and change the laws of nature because you don't agree with them," Lily demanded pulling at her arms and legs.
"My dear Lily that is where you're wrong, I can and I have, you are an example of that. A human turned werewolf without being bitten. I am afraid you are already a part of this and thanks to me you'll become something incredible and unique. Call it destiny, fate, or whatever the hell you like, but you're going to be the first step into a new era," Xavier told her and she squirmed against the table as he got closer.
"Stay away from me you freaking lunatic," she screamed but he ignored her as he took her arm in his hand. "Oh God no, please Xavier! Don't do this, please," she begged trying to pull away from him but he ignored her yet again and sunk the needle into her flesh and the liquid entered into her skin. Warmth spread through her body, it was actually rather pleasant, but it didn't stay pleasant for long. The sensation grew warmer and warmer until the pleasantness turned to discomfort then pain as it burned through her.
Lily bit her lip to keep her moans and whimpers to herself, not wanting to give the doctor the pleasure of hearing her scream. However, the pain kept growing until Lily felt as if she was literally being set on fire and burned alive, from the inside out. She cried out as it started to become more than she could bear. She felt Xavier's cool hand brush across her forehead removing the hair from her face. "I know it's painful my dear girl, but it won't take too long," he told her in a soothing voice.
Tears fell down her face as she squirmed on the metal table and against the restraints, her cries turning into screams. "Please," she managed to croak and the doctor smiled coldly at her. "Make... it... stop," she begged him, panting like a dog on an extremely hot day.
