Two weeks had passed by with no sign of Lillith waking up and everyone was starting lose hope that she would ever wake up again. Nell had been the only one that still had hope of Lillith waking up. Her father was even planning the funeral while he say in his office devastated. Nell sat by Lillith's bed side waiting for the day to come.
While Nell had reading a book to the unconcious Lillith. Lillith's fingers started to twitch and move around surprising Nell, she ran out in to the hall and began to yell like she had gone insane. "She's waking up! she's waking up! master Xavier come quick the miss is waking up!" Hearing Nell running through the halls yelling Xavier and the others began to make their way to Lillith's bedroom.
Xavier braced himself and opened the door and there she was her hair had turned black like the feathers of a raven and 2 sets of wings had sprouted from her back feathers the color of red fire with black and purple flames surrounding her body the very little color in her cheeks she had returned and she was sitting up in her bed looking out the window and then turned to see her father's shocked face revealing purple eyes the shade of a amethyst. "F-father?" hearing her sweet voice sent him reeling falling backwards and tears began to pour down his cheeks like a flowing river Nell kneeled down to Xavier checking to make sure he was ok while the maids rejoiced and the butler bowed to Lillith geeting her. Mr.Ruso had walked in to put fresh picked flowers in a vase he had been tending to on Lillith's nightstand while she was sleeping. " oh black roses my favorite". -"glad to have you back little tot".
Seeing the way everyone was acting she sat there confused. "what's going on?" Lillith got up and fell to the ground and Nell rushed to Lillith and helped her stand "take it slow miss you've been in that wheelchair for 2 years"- "wait I can walk now? Father cured me?-"well yes but things have changed"- "changed?" Lillith slowly walked to her mirror as Nell pointed to it and saw what Nell ment. A look of shock and horror filled her face as she screamed."I've become a freak. a monster. in human."
Her father stood up from where he had been sitting and approached her. "Hmmmm these are the side effects of DNA manipulation. sweety I'm sorry it was the only way I could cure you. you almost died on your birthday."-"wait how long have I been asleep?"-"3 weeks"-"What!? And what do you mean DNA manipulation?" -"i'll explain later pumpkin right now let's worry about getting you cleaned up and fed you're malnourished."
After having a good meal and a bath her father and Lillith sat in his study and talked about what happened. "I took two different types of DNA a raven and the bird said not to exist a Phoenix and infused it with your DNA aka DNA manipulation and it seems it did more than cure you it evolved you into this if I'm correct it did more than change your appearance but also gave you abilities we need to see what you can do and also you'll be put on rehabilitation to help you get use to walking on your own I've already called a private doctor to help you and after that there's something else we need to discuss before they get you."
His words rang in her head as she sat in her bed resting like he told her to do."They? who does he mean?" looking at her newly sprouted wings "I can't lie these are pretty but they make me lose my balance guess I have to figure out how work around that set back." She thought of something while looking at them and began to strain herself trying to use her back muscles and they shook abit finally figuring out how to fold them she reached and touched the back of her dress feeling that when they grew they must have ripped holes her dress. "well guess that can't be helped but why 4 wings? any way what do I do now?"
The following day her father took her out to a field of grass. "What are we doing here father?"- " teaching you how to use those wings of yours I you've learnt to fold them already but now we need to fly use the same muscles you used to fold them and move them like a bird" she nodded and began to do the same she did last night her face contorting into an odd expression and Xavier began to laugh " Hey! What's so funny father!" -" you look like you're trying to take a shite hahahah relax and dont strain so much the muscles need to be strengthened so you need to flex them and make them stronger." she relaxed her body and began to flex her back muscles gently "there you go just keep doing that every day and they'll be strong enough to do full movement when they grew your body had to adapt and grow extra bones and muscles to handle them. Right now you're at the level of a baby bird learning how to fly now flex harder feel those extra bones and muscles and use them once you master that you'll be flying like it's second nature. You'll also need to be taught combat skills you might need to defend yourself. So much to do so little time. hmmmm." -"Time? time for what? Dad tell me what's going on!" -"you will see soon sweety right now we need to focus on preparing you." She huffed and nodded giving up on trying to get answers out of him.
Every day for 3 weeks he took her out to the same field and had her try to fly for hours on end. soon she was able to lift herself off the ground and float abit. On the 4th week her took her somewhere different. They stood there in the mountains at the edge of a cliff looking down."why are we here father we normally go to the field to practice."-"all baby birds learn to either fly or or fall to their deaths after being pushed from the nest. so... will you fall or fly?"-"huh...wait! wait! Father!" before she could ask what he ment he pushed her off the edge of a cliff causing her to plummet forgetting that she had wings for a moment as she fell she cried out "Help me! I'm going to die!" flash backs of how her mother would read stories to her when she was little her mothers death as well how her father became the mother and father in her life after, the maid that adored her as if she was her own child. Tears filled her eyes feeling betrayed by her own father who is now sending her to her death. "why... why is this happening to me..... mother please help me...I-i don't want to die!" suddenly a light flashed brightly blinding her for a moment and then she saw a hand a women's delicate hand reaching from the light out to her scared of falling to her death she reached out and took the hand that was offered to her.
Her wings sprang out and began to flap stopping her from falling as if it were a reflex. She began to ascend in to the air flying over trees and saw how beautiful the earth was feeling the wind in her hair she began to giggle "haha now I know what birds feel like when flying I feel so free right now" flying as high as she could she could see her father waving at her with a proud smile on his face. She flew down to him not realizing one flaw .....
She didn't know how to land properly and ended up crashing in to a tree. Her father ran to her and helped her up off the ground "I knew you could do it sweety I'm so proud of you!"-" hold on here sir! you pushed me off a cliff what would you have done if I didn't fly I almost died! Ass hat!"- "but you didn't and I'm proud of you" he hugged her "let's go home you have more to learn like working on that landing of yours". In the car she couldn't get the image of that hand that reached out to her out of her head "who was that?" she thought herself.
