Lillith sat there looking into her mirror as she glared at her unruly golden blonde hair. Grumbling she grabs her hair brush and attempts to brush it out but the hair brush gets stuck and she yelps trying to tug it back out. "I can't with this damn hair!" she shouts flailing her arms in frustration causing her to make her wheel chair tip and crash to the floor with a loud bang "ouch" she rubs her head and tries to sit up on the floor as her father rushes in her bedroom .
"Is everything ok!? I heard a bang...oh my god are you ok pumpkin!? are you hurt?" he rushes over to her when he sees her on the floor and lifts her up and flips her wheel chair back on to it's wheels checking her over as he sits her back in it to see if she was harmed from the fall. " I'm ok dad I just over reacted trying to deal with this mess" she smiles as she points to the hair brush still stuck in her hair.
"Hmmmm" He looks at it and as always analyzing the situation as scientist would do to an experiment and chuckles "It really caught up in there isn't let me guess you forgot to use the detangler again ya goof ball" She laughed and nodded up at him as his tall lanky body stood over her noticing he was still in his messy lab coat his hair unkempt and his eyes looked so tired and sunken in from lack of sleep. " you've been doing another all nighter in the lab haven't you father? If you keep it up your gona look like me and harm your self from over working." She stated.
He looked at Lilith and smiled as he patted her head " Some one has to find the cure to this illness I've already lost your mother and brother to it I can't bare to lose you as well besides there is no rest for the wicked haha" .
Lillith smiled up at him trying to hide her concern for her father as an awkward silence washes over them for a moment or two and Xavier clears his throat and pick up the detangler and starts spraying her hair down "Now let's fix this shall we?" She nods fixing her posture in her chair as he began to fix up her hair and gently tying it up in a black ribbon.
She looked at herself in the mirror contently looking at her porcelain pale skin, sunken in jewel blue eyes and pure white nightgown, her frail body looking thin and like it would snap in two from a simple poke. She wheeled herself to her closet looking at her father. He was standing there for to ask for anymore help and she opens the closet door to pick out an outfit for the day grabbing a pretty dark purple dress with rose decorations on it as she tosses it on to the bed and grabs her favorite black slip on shoes that look like they belong on a doll. She tries to stand up out of her chair and loses her balance Xavier rushes to catch her before she falls over. "Let me help you sweety" -"No it's ok I can do this part please just wait out side I'll be done soon father" With a sigh he nods and helps her sit on to her bed before taking his leave shutting the door behind him.
She pulled off her nightgown and attempts to pull her dress over her head struggling for a minute and finally getting it on she sighs proudly and slips on her shoes humming as she plopped back in to her chair thinking on whether her father truly will be able to save her before this illness kills her like it did her mother and baby brother. She shakes her head trying to get rid of the horrific thought and exits her room. Looking up to see her father leaning against the wall his arms crossed and pouting about not being allowed to help her. "Don't be a baby father I have to be allowed to something's on my own I'm not 2 I'm turning 17 tomorrow I can't rely on you for everything". He huffed at the comment and grabs the handles of her wheelchair guiding Lillith through the mansion to the dinning hall.
A maid sets a plate in front of Lillith covered in bacon and eggs and a small muffin on the side. She smiled up at the maid "Thank you Nellie" And happily picked up her fork and began to shovel a fork full of her delicious breakfast into her mouth. The maid smiled back softly and nodded. "Nell would you mind fetching me my coffee I've got alot of work to do today in lab so be a dear and take it there behave my dear Lillith and have a good day I'll be back up later to night to tuck you into bed tonight". Xavier strode down the hall out of sight as Nell rushes to make his coffee.
Lillith finished her breakfast and wheeled herself to the garden spotting the gardener tending to the flowers. She smiled brightly and headed over to him " Hello Mr.Ruso". The grey haired man stood up from his work to see Lillith smiling up at him as he smiled back "Well hello miss Lillith fine evening to go for a stroll isn't it? what brings you here little tot?" -"Oh! I just wanted to admire the flowers for abit and enjoy some sun. Father is working in the lab again today." She rolled her eyes and then returned to smiling. "He should really spend more time with you it's not healthy to choose work over the father/daughter relationship but anywho I was just about to take a break and go for a walk would you like to to join me little tot?" She nodded and began to follow him down the garden's walk way admiring the bright colors the flowers on their way. "You know you always resemble a doll with those magnificent features to me little tot sometimes I have to do a double take to make sure your real". Ruso says glancing down at her as they sat near the pond. She stared at the water as it shined in the setting sunlight. " You always say that Mr.Ruso haha I don't get but I guess I'll take it as a compliment like normal".-"You should because it is little tot and I bet Mr. Xavier is proud to have such a beautiful strong willed daughter like you." She smiled and nodded they stared out at the water for what seemed such a long time in silence the middle aged man stood up and stretched "well it's getting late shall I escort you back to the manor miss Lillith?" -"That would be great Mr.Ruso" He took hold of the handles of her chair and rolled her back to the main entrance of the manor where a maid was waiting for them as she took over for Ruso and guided Lilith to the bath that was already prepared for her.
