NOT HUMAN

Chapter 41 - Regret

"You dare touch him?" She asked, outraged. Her eyebrows creased, her silver eyes piercing, her skin was hot, and her face red with anger. She stared her father down, and he looked back at her amused and shocked at the same time.

"Lily, my daughter-"

"Don't call me that, you're a monster!" She hissed at him.

Her body began changing on its own, her skin turned a familiar grayish color, her limbs grew bigger, and she was stretching taller and taller at 6ft. She was small as an Oculos, but she was half after all. Her alien form had a feminized shape to it, and you could still hear her voice in the form.

"L-lily you don't plan on hurting me, I'm your father?" David backed up away from her startled. He was out of syringes. He had nothing left to use on her. "Oh, crap." He gaped out her fiery eyes.

She progressed towards him quickly with haste in her movements. She picked him up by both arms like he was a light feather, he, of course, was only an inch shorter than her. But Oculos had muscles and a crazy amount of strength. She dug her long claws into his shoulders and he screamed in pain.

"NO!" He pleaded with her. "I know I haven't been good to you but please." He thought of another idea and he focused on her mind trying to enter it but it was blocked off by walls. How in the world did she do that? His mind control ability was useless.

"Chosen one?" The First walked onto the scene before him. Blade on the floor passed out, and from him was Lily in her Oculos form, and David in her arms being raised by her, and she was looking at him with a strong loathing.

Lily turned her head slightly bringing her attention to the First. "I'm not staying. You said you would kill my father. He should die. I'm going to do it. So leave us alone."

The First looked at the human almost with pity, and he sighed deeply. "Okay."

"Wait what?" Lily drugged her claws deeper into Davids's arms, and he moaned in discomfort.

"Yes, I'll let you leave." That was it. Somehow it seemed too easy, she thought but she looked back in front of her at the task at hand. She avoided his eyes for she was too angry, he wouldn't guilt trip her into sparing his life. And in a swift motion, she snapped his neck back and freed him allowing his corpse to land on the floor.

"I-I did it." She gasped, a tear in the corner of her eyes as she slowly shifted back to her human form. Her body felt fatigued, and she crawled over to Blade, ignoring the fact she was unclothed from her transformation earlier, and she drifted off to sleep right next to his  unconscious body

She didn't see where the Oculos went but she hoped he kept to his word.

"Is she awake?"

"I'm not sure."

"Hey, look her eyes are open now!"

Lily peeked through the slits of her eyelids and saw Andy, Blade, Angelica, and the rest of her team standing at her bedside. The room she was in looked very familiar. It was the house they used back on Earth, but how?

"Where am I? What happened??"

"Hey, hey, relax. You need rest. A lot happened." Blade soothed her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. She was sitting upright in her bed, back against her bed frame when the events before her started flooding her mind like an overload on a computer system.

"...I-I killed...I killed....I-I killed-" Blade without another word, wrapped his arms around her, embracing her. "It's okay, you don't have to tell us anything."
