Young Delilah sat on the ledge in the chapel holding the pendant that used to belong to her mother. Closing her eyes she saw her mother's death play before her like a movie. She hasn't slept since that day, the day her world fell apart. All of a sudden she heard the door of the chapel, creak open, followed by voices. She used her wolf-like grace to jump down & get a better listen.
"Professor, why did you take us to an abandoned chapel?"a girl's voice questioned
"Yeah, seriously...it's spooky."a woman added. That voice sounded familiar, but it couldn't be, thought Delilah. All of a sudden she heard the same voice inside her head.
Come out, come out wherever you are, we don't bite!
Delilah grabbed her daggers & jumped down from the ledge scaring the group in front of her. She felt a sting go up her hand & realized she got cut by one of her knives. This could be fun she thought. Looking up, she revealed haunting hazel glowing eyes.
"You want something?" she asked, her voice filled with mystery & years of anger.
"Nice to see you again, Aliyah." Professor responded wheeling toward the small girl.
"I thought you were a mind-reader, Aliyah is dead"Delilah responded coldly. At this Storm & Jean glared at each other knowingly.
"I dont enter a mind without permission!" Professor Xavier replied
"Well then go ahead, read my mind, but I warn you...ITS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART." Delilah retorted as colder than ice.
What the professor saw in the girl's mind deeply disturbed him, coming back to reality, he stared right into the girl's eyes. So much fire & ice laid beneath them. "Sorry for the mix-up Delilah." Xavier apoligized with compassion. "It happens all the time." Delilah replied. She then saw Logans claws extended, so she walked up to him. "Nice Claws, mine are real!" she said smugly.
"Deliah" repremainded a voice from behind her. "Respect our old friends." the man said calmly. He was old, like Charles, he had white hair & brown eyes. "You should've let me die." she replied to the man, still staring at the group of people...her eyes locking with a boy a couple years older than her playing with a lighter. The man stepped in front of Delilah "Don't mind her, she has been this way since her mother died." he said apologetically. "I don't blame her." Xavier replied. "Well as you know, Aliyah is no longer with us, therefore, you cannot recruit her." the man informed the group. "Actually, I want Delilah!"
A/N-(Delilah is mutant but is also a werewolf, like the ones from Blood & chocolate, & she fights like Elektra. So dont get confused, & the mother's name is pronounced Alley-yah
