"Of course, I would come even if it meant my life," Lily replied starting toward her but stopped when suddenly Lacy began to laugh. She looked at her friend confused as Lacy got up from the chair, the ropes binding her slipped off her.
"So noble as always," Lacy said her face and voice turning harsh.
"What?" Lily asked, taking a step back not understanding what was going on. Lacy kicked something and abruptly a silver cord wrapped around Lily's ankles. She cried out as she was knocked down to the floor and the silver burned her. "Lacy, what are you doing?" Lily pleaded through gritted teeth. Her best friend looked at her with scornful hate.
"Taking back what should've been mine! What you took from me!" Lacy sneered at her, and Lily looked at her, even more, confused. Lacy scoffed. "Of course, you have no clue as to what I'm talking about," she stated with bitterness then kneeled in front of Lily. "I don't know what is worse, the fact that you have taken everything from me or the fact that you're too stupid to realize it," she pondered with ice in her voice.
"What could I have taken from you?" Lily asked in a daze.
"You have got to be kidding me," Lacy scoffed with disbelief. "You seriously have no idea?" she asked, and Lily shook her head side to side, feeling stupid. "Everything you bitch!" Lacy screamed at her then slapped her across the face.
"First you take my family," Lacy growled at her. "My parents were so eager to take you in and call you daughter. My parents were just so proud when you started college, and my parents couldn't stop bragging when you began working in that stupid job at the lab! You captured their attention so much and left none for me!" Lacy sneered and grabbed her by the hair. She pulled Lily's hair forcing Lily to look up at her. "Do you know how humiliating it was to hear people talk about how you and my father seem so alike?"
Lily looked at the blond woman before her. This wasn't her best friend and sister, but someone else entirely. Lacy's typical bright shining blue eyes were cold as ice and full of hate. Her normally smiling mouth was turned in a scornful scowl. Lily felt a few tears escape her as she looked at this stranger before her, how could this be happening?
"Why didn't you ever tell me how you felt?" Lily asked trying to keep her voice steady and herself under control. Her beast was raging to break free and attack Lacy, but Lily couldn't allow her to do that.
"Tell you!" Lacy repeated with harsh sarcasm. "Why didn't I tell you?" she screamed and stood up. "So you can act like the kind, forgiving friend and make me look like a jealous idiot?" Lacy demanded then kicked her in the ribs. Lily grunted in pain, taking on the full brunt of the assault. Part of her refused to defend herself against Lacy because it agreed with everything Lacy was saying; she was nothing more than a malicious parasite.
"Though I have to say I've come to realize that losing my family to you is no big loss," Lacy stated with a superior tone. "My mother is an old fashioned twat that can't think of anything but being submissive mate. My father is an ambitionless idiot that cowers in fear when things get a little ugly. My brother is an egotistical dumbass that couldn't lead a pack out of a paper bag much less to greatness," she stated with callousness.
"Though my family wasn't enough was it? You had to steal from me my one big opportunity to become what I should have been," she growled and slapped Lily in the face.
Lily's head snapped back, and she groaned in pain. "What opportunity?" Lily asked confused earning another slap. Her vision blurred, and she shook her head as Lacy barked out another bitter laugh.
"God, you're so damn stupid, I don't see what anyone ever saw in you! Did you ever stop to wonder why Xavier was able to kidnap James, you, and Greg but some omega teen wolf escaped or how he could change you in a hybrid but "accidently" killed two teens with some pills?" Lacy asked.
Lily's head shot up and looked at the blonde in horror. "You mean?" Lily started but couldn't bring herself to finish it.
"Yes, it all was a set up to get James to come back to Xavier and to me! I was supposed to be the one Xavier changed, not you! He promised! Xavier promised he would change me, but you had to come along and play Nancy Drew, and take it all away from me!" She screamed kicking Lily several times now.
"You're working with Xavier?" Lily asked with horror.
"Of course, I am! He is the only one who had any bit of intelligence and ambition! And if you hadn't gotten involved I would be changed, and James would be mine like he was supposed to be, you damn man stealing bitch," She screeched, and Lily's jaw dropped.
"That's not my fault Lacy," Lily demanded as she started to get angry. "I didn't want it, any of it! I didn't want to be changed, and I don't want James! I hate James and wish more than anything he'd go back from wherever he came. You can have him, I swear," Lily argued, but it only made Lacy even angrier.
"How dare you say I can have him, haven't you humiliated me enough? As if I didn't know you two are mated! James told everyone when you left," she spat.
"Aren't you mated already as well?" Lily snapped back, her anger growing.
Lacy scowled with disgust. "I am an alpha's daughter, I should be mated to an alpha or, at least, a strong, powerful werewolf and not that pathetic clown," she shrieked. "I should be mated to James, but you stole him from me," She snarled and kicked Lily some more. This time, Lily tried to shield herself from her sister's attacks.
"I am sorry Lacy," she genuinely apologized. "I seriously didn't want any of this! What can I do to fix this?" She asked, and Lacy smiled, but it wasn't her typical smile. This one was a cold, harsh smile.
"I want what you stole from me! I want you to make me like you, bite me or convert me like the vampires. I don't care just make me like you. Then I will give you a quick, merciful death. After your dead I'll just have to take care of Chris, the clown. I'll suddenly be "rescued" and James and I will become lovers to console each other for their lost mate," Lacy explained with a dreamy look on her face, and Lily looked at her horrified.
"I... I can't Lacy. You don't know what you're asking! I'm not like James; I'm something else. I'm a monster! And I can't let you hurt Chris," she said and Lacy's eyes flashed with fury. The blonde grabbed a metal bar up off the floor and hit Lily with it. Lily screamed as the bones in her forearm shattered with the force.
"I know perfectly well what I'm asking! Don't you dare treat me like an idiot!" Lacy screamed, and Lily held destroyed arm closing her eyes tightly, refusing to cry.
"Kill me if you insist but I won't make you like me," Lily demanded, and Lacy hit her with the bar again, this time across the back, making Lily cry out.
