Lillith woke up to see her room torn apart she got up and looked down shocked she could stand up it's been 2 years since she got sick and couldn't walk on her own."I-I can stand? How? Did father cure me while I was asleep?" She noticed something odd there was no sunlight and no maid waking her up. She tried the light switch and nothing."Did the light bulb break? Something's not right."
She grabbed the flash light in the drawer of her nightstand and began to explore to find out what was happening. She tried the hall light out side of her room."This isn't working either. What the Hell is going on!?". She started to get worried and began to t,rek through the halls.
"This is exhausting. I guess being stuck in a wheelchair for 2 years does a number on endurance." breathing heavily she stood for a moment to rest and began to walk again. "Dad? is anyone here? Hello? Why aren't the lights working?" she called out hoping to find someone but there was no answer is was as if she was the only one there normally there would be a maid or two wandering to make sure she didnt need help.
Reaching the main entrance she saw the doors to the outside wide open gasping she ran through the manor. "The doors.....if they are open could there be an intruder!? I need to find father! Is he ok!? Is he hurt? Does he know?" questions reeled through her mind as she rushed around searching the house when suddenly she saw a figure down one of the halls she stopped to see who it was peeking around the corner she could see it a black figure at the end of the hall just standing there. She strained her eyes to see it but couldn't make out who it was. "Father? Nellie? Is that you? What's going on why are the lights out?" The figure turned to face her seeing the figure wasn't normal with its grotesque features and horns coming from its head and huge black wings opening up and revealing themselves to her she gasped and screeched and began to run "That wasn't human! What the hell was that thing!?" The creature chased her through manor tripping and falling Lillith panicked."Help me! please someone help! oh god dont come near me! stay away!" The creature slowly approached her and she shrieked thinking this was the end of her she cried and huddled up in a corner with no where to run. It reached it's grotesque claws out at her.
Lillith jerked up from her bed and screamed. "What? A dream?" realizing that she was back in her bed and it was now daylight she tried to calm herself as her heart raced and she was sweating profusely. One of the maids rushed in to see what was going on and realized she had a nightmare the maid went and got Lillith a glass if water and held her close to help her calm down as Lillith cried softly still in shock from the nightmare.
The maid helped her bathe as another brought Lillith what looked like a present. "A gift?"-"Its from Nell she went out to get this for you yesterday. She said it would be pretty on you with your doll like features miss. She said to ask you to wear it at your party." Lillith nodded at the maid as she had the other maid help her out of the bath and sat in her wheel chair. She held out her arms for the gift as the maid handed it to her and rolled to her bedroom to open it. She sat the box down on to her bed and looked at it.
It was a plain white box with a red ribbon tied around it and she gently untied the bow and opened the box revealing a purple and black dress that looked like it belonged on a gothic lolita doll with a lace choker that had a red stone like pendant and knee high black and grey stockings. She smiled "Nellie really knows my style heheh". She shooed the maids away so she could put it on with out them trying to help pulling the dress over her head and frantically trying to zip the back she heard a soft knock at the door."who is it?"- "it's me Nell miss. May I enter?"-" yes I need your help any way." The door creaked open and Nell walked in to the room."help me zip this up please Nellie" the maid nodded and zipped the dress up as Lillith pulled on her stockings and shoes. Rolling herself to her mirror she studied herself as the maid put the choker on for her and helped tie up her hair putting it in pigtails and using 2 black ribbons.
"I made a great choice you look stunning miss like a real doll. Do you like the out fit miss?"- " I do it's pretty and my style. You always get the best gifts Nellie." - "Oh! Hooray! I'm so glad you like it. Also happy birthday miss. You've grown into a fine young lady. I remember when you were just a little tot you were so cute and always with your mother.....I'm sure she'd be proud to see how much you've grown." Lillith smiled and nodded and then frowned she missed her mother the day she died Lillith had cried for hours begging her to wake up bit she never did.
Heading out to the garden Lillith saw that everyone was already there all the maids, Burt the butler, Cyan her father's assistant, Ruso the gardener, the chefs holding up her cake, and her father who stood up the moment he saw her and smiled. " happy birthday sweety you look great ".
She smiled and positioned herself at the table as one of the chefs sat a slice of cake in front her it was pink, white and blue with little red icing roses on it. They sang happy birthday to her and she began to shove a fork full of cake in to her mouth. "yum!." she said happily with her mouth full of cake.
They were all laughing and carrying on having a great time when Lillith suddenly felt dizzy she held her head. Everyone turned to her in concern and she fell forward collapsing on the ground and passed out. Her wheelchair tipped over and her father quickly stood up and ran to his daughter's aid holding her in to his arms as everyone looked at them in shock and panic. "QUICKLY! Some one go get her wheelchair to her room! It's happening! I must take her to the lab!"
One of the maid grabbed her wheelchair and ran off as Xavier stood up with his daughter in a princess carry and ran to his lab with the assistant as they ran through the halls he began to cry not wanting to lose his precious daughter like he did Nathaniel his 3 year old son and Roseanne his beloved wife. "Rose my love please help our little girl please dont let it take her from me like this wretched illness did you."
Heading in to the cellar he reached his lab."Cyan table! clear it now!". - "Right!" Cyan a red headed tall woman known as Xavier's lab assistant quickly ran to clear the table as he laid Lillith down on to it.
"The syrum quickly!".-"yes sir." Cyan brought him a syringe filled with a strange black substance he lifted Lillith's small fragile arm and injected the substance into a vein on her wrist. He stared at her the way she laid there looking so lifeless she truly looked like a life sized doll now. He stroked her cold cheek softly and whispered "please stay with me sweety. If this works they will be coming to get her Cyan be ready it was my only choice to get this experiment funded." She nodded as he picked Lillith up and gently carried her to her room laying her down onto her bed and pulling the blanket over her.
