Logan and Lily were walking down the hallway, the snow had covered the bottom on the windows and the entire sky was turning darker. Coming close to the night sky, but with the stars that'll come out and maybe the moon. Logan looked at Lily, she had her glaze towards her path and what was in front of her.
He had forgotten about the necklace and just kept thinking about how she acted, he never thought that she would act like that. Like a free-willed woman, drinking beer, stripping in front of someone, having fun with him. He thought she would be stuck-up, shy, scared or even something like Storm.
He stared at her hair, it was swaying left and right as she walked. He always saw girl's hair do that but hers was different, it moved in a graceful way like a ballerina dancing. Her hips moved side to side as she walked, she was something like a ballerina. But Logan's eyes moved towards her jeans, he was looking at her ass.
Damn.
Lily felt his eyes on her and looked at him in the corner of her eye, she saw that his eyes were staring behind her. She gave a small grin and hit him in the gut, he coughed a little and held his stomach.
"Don't stare at me like that." She said in a whisper so that only Logan could hear and walked ahead of him, he watched her and walked behind her so he would keep a distance between them. They walked into the kitchen and Nightclawer appeared in a cloud of dark smoke, he jumped down in front of Lily and Logan.
"Oh, Hello." He said to Lily with his german accent, Lily gave a small smile at him.
"Hello, you are one true jumpscare master." She said to him, he gave a small chuckle. Logan kept his eyes on them and saw something on Kurt's back as he and Lily talked. It was peeking out at them, Logan walked towards them and stood behind Kurt.
"What are you doing?" Nightclawer asked behind him, Logan picked up what was on him and walked in front of them. In his hand was Mary, she was holding her teddy bear in front of her face so that her blushing cheeks weren't shown.
"I found this little slugger on your back, hiding." Logan said, he was holding Mary like a mother cat carrying her baby cub with it's teeth. But in this case it was his hand holding her up, he put her down and Mary ran towards Lily with her arms out. She hugged Lily and Lily put her hands on her back, she gave a small smile down at Mary.
"I didn't even know she was there, she must've attached herself to me right before I teleported." Kurt said to Logan and Lily, Mary held onto Lily with the tighest grip like she was the only thing in the world besides her teddy bear. Lily looked up at Logan and down at Mary, she bend down to meet eye-level with her.
"Hey, can you do something for me?" Lily asked Mary who gave a nod at her, Lily whispered in the little girl's ear and Mary gave a nod at her. Lily gave a small smile and stood up, Mary walked towards Logan and stood in front of him. Logan looked down at her.
"What?" He asked, Mary gave a small smile and stared at him. In a matter of a few seconds, Mary turned around to Lily and gave a nod.
"He was staring at your butt." Mary said outloud, Logan and Kurt's eyes were wide with shock.
"What?! I wasn't!" Logan said outloud just as he said that.
"He found it very interesting." She said outloud, Lily's eyes had turned into a dark brown and gave a scowl. Logan was suddenly afraid of her and started to run out of the kitchen, Lily gave a small chuckle.
"LOGAN!" She yelled outloud and ran after him, leaving Kurt and Mary who watched them run away. Kurt looked down at Mary.
"You are one amazing little girl." He said to Mary who gave a smile up at him, she held onto her teddy bear as she watched Lily run after Logan.
Next day
"Hello?!" Lily yelled outloud as she walked, she stopped to look around her. She saw that she was back in the hallway with white walls, she heard a chunk from a steel door. She walked towards it and it opened for her, she walked in the room and looked around.
It was almost dark but she could see, she saw a shadow ahead of her.
"Hello?" She outloud and walked towards it, she was getting closer to the shadow and reached out her hand to it. She felt a cold chill down her spine, she remembered the chill and her eyes went wide.
The shadow turned around and showed a blank, dark face. It stared at Lily and grabbed her wrist, she felt her wrist being cut open and tried to pull away from it's grip. She kicked it so it would let go of her but it didn't, she instead took off her shoe and threw it at the shadow. It let go of her wrist and as she backed away from the shadow, it grabbed her hair and pulled it out of it's ponytail but she got away from his grip against. She ran towards the door but it wouldn't open. She turned back around to see the shadow right up to her face, she didn't scream but crawled under it.
She got out of the small space and kept her distance away from it, she shooked her head as she stared at the shadow.
"You aren't supposed to be here!" She yelled outloud to the shadow and put her hands on her face, she closed her eyes.
Please, Sister. Help me.
She felt a pressure on her being lifted and a warm glow had filled her, she opened her eyes and a white light appeared from her entire body. Her hand stood in front of the shadow and the white light hit the shadow, it opened it's mouth as to scream but nothing came out. The light had lit the entire room and the shadow disappered from her sight, Lily's eyes were wide with shock.
She dropped her hands and still felt the light appearing from her body, she stood there in shock. The door opened and Logan ran into the room, she saw Lily standing alone with glow of light around her body. Her hair was loose from it's ponytail state, her hair was almost flowing in the air. He ran to her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Lily! Do you hear me?" He yelled outloud to her, but she didn't answer. His eyes started to hurt from staring at the light but he didn't care, he looked down at her and saw her wrist. It was cut open but it was closing up and healing by itself, he saw that the bandages on her knuckles had disappered and the cuts were also gone.
He looked up at her eyes, they were blank and tears filled them. He saw that the necklace that she wore was glowing a bright green color, he wrapped his arms around her and put his mouth to her ear.
"Wake up!" He slightly yelled in her ear and took out one of his claws, he scratched her arm and the glow slowly disappered as blood dripped down her arm from the scratch. She had closed her eyes and felt Logan's arms around her, the glow finally disappered and Logan pulled away to look at her eyes. She slowly opened them but her eyes were lowered to the floor as her hair covered her face.
"Thank you." She said in a whisper, she felt herself becoming weak but she still stood on her feet. She put her hands on Logan's shoulders to try and pull away from him but he kept his arms around her.
"You're still weak, I'll help you back to the room." He took her hand in his hand helped her walk out of the room and towards his room, as he helped her out of the room. He saw that her eyes were a dark green instead of hazel or even dark brown but when that glow was around her, he saw that her eyes had blue in them. He ignored it and walked out of the room with Lily.
"Thanks for helping me again." Lily said to Logan who was at the small fridge, he took out 2 beers and handed one to her. She took it and opened it, she drank some of it and held in in her hands and she sat on the bed.
Logan was drinking as he stared at her, he looked down at her and saw that she only had one shoe on. He was going to ask why but he didn't want to be a bother and just straight up ask 'why does she have only one shoe on?'.
"What happened? What was that glow? It wasn't the same from before." Logan asked, Lily had her eyes lowered and her head. Her long hair was covering her face from his view.
"I don't know, it just happened." She said to him, Logan kept staring at her as he drank his beer. "I just walked into the room...and it happened."
She kept quiet as she drank her beer and so did Logan but he could tell that she was hiding something, but they didn't say anything towards each other. Logan looked out his window and saw that it was already dark outside, he looked at the clock and it read 9:30 pm.
"You can take the first shower, I'll wait." He said as he walked towards the TV and chair. She looked at him.
"You sure?" She asked, he sat down in the chair and turned on the TV.
"Yeah, you haven't showered in 3 days so you're gonna need it." He said to her as he drank his beer and watched the TV, she looked down and stood up. She walked towards the bathroom and closed the door behind her, she stood against the door and put her head in her hands.
I can't tell him, I just can't. He'll think of me as a crazy person.
She dropped her hands and walked towards the shower stall, she turned the knob and started the shower. She turned the knobs for the setting she wanted and started to strip, she had finally stripped everything off her body and looked at herself in the mirror beside her.
She stared at her pale body, her curves, everything on her body. She moved her hair to the side and walked in the shower, she let the water hit her and started to wash off her body.
She looked up at the ceiling and touched the necklace on her neck, she could feel the warm water drops on the gem.
"No matter how much you want them to go away, you take medicine for them to go away but when you miss a pill, they return. The pills block them but they don't make them go away, you have to fight them yourself and make them go away. Fragements of your past that have been scaring you since childhood, try and fight them on your own and find out who you are."
Who I am? What am I?
She touched the shower door and felt the water on her hand, she could feel warmth on her hand.
I don't know.
A few minutes later
Lily walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, she had another towel on her neck for her hair.
"I'm done." She said to Logan who was standing near the fridge, he turned around and saw her. He started to blush a little and his eyes went wide.
"W-What are you doing?! You shouldn't be standing around with only a towel!" Logan yelled outloud to her, she looked down at her body that was covered by the towel, it was small only because of her chest size.
"Well sorry that none of those clothes fit me and that I want to be dry." She said to him, he looked away from her. She turned around and started to towel-dry her hair, he saw that her hair was dark when it was wet and it fell all the way down to her ass. He stared at her ass for a second but turned away, he turned around so he wouldn't stare.
"Just try and wear something! Okay!" He yelled outloud and he closed his eyes, he gave a scowl.
I can't believe she's always doing this like it's normal. Doesn't she have some shame for doing that?
He opened his eyes and remebered earlier, when she was stripping in front of him. He thought he heard her say something and tried to figure out but he looked up and saw the dresser mirror behind him. Lily was slowly taking off the towel that was covering her body, he turned around and yelled.
"What are you doing?!" She looked at him as she held the towel, she held it so it would cover her breast and her lower region but it was still loose so it showed her entire back but her long hair was covering it.
"I'm getting dressed." She said to him as she was slowly making the towel loose on her, Logan's face was slightly blushing.
"Don't you have any shame!? A woman shouldn't strip in front of a guy that she hasn't slept with." He yelled at her, she didn't care about what he said but she heard every word, her eyes were slowly having tears in them as she turned her head away from him.
"No, no I don't have any shame okay!? I'm used being naked in front of guys that they don't care for what my body looks like!" She yelled at him as she wrapped the towel around her, she lowered her head and tears were filling her eyes.
Please, I don't want to cry in front of someone!
Logan stared at her in shock, he took a step closer to her.
"You...used to be a stripper?" He said in shock, she gave a huff.
"A hostress in a proper term but yes, I used to be a stripper. When I had no one, I was a hell of one but then I found someone that I could trust and I stopped but...I still did it back then, showed off everything for just some money and being slightly british brought in some extra too." She said as she held onto the towel with a tight grip, a tear fell down her face. She felt arms wrapped around her, and a warmth on her back.
"Don't say any more, I know." Logan said to her as he held her, she started to sob as she put her hand on his. She didn't feel alone or empty, she felt her heart skip a beat as she was being held. He turned her around and held out one of his shirts to her, she took it and looked down at it. "You can wear any of my shirts during at night, I don't want to sleep in the same room with a woman that's going to be naked in my bed. It sounds like a dream come true to some but not to me."
Lily gave a small smile to him, he gave a grin and leaned in to her. He licked away one of her tears from her cheek and smiled at her.
"Get dressed so I don't have to hold back on raving you." He said to her with a grin on his face, Lily's heart beat faster than normal but she hit him on the shower and walked back to the bathroom. She changed into her underwear and the shirt that Logan gave her, she smelled the shirt and could smell wood, beer and cigerettes.
Wood, haven't smelt that in a while.
Lily thought about Canada, how it was always cold but sometimes can be warm at rare times. How her home was just a motel room with Amy and take-out for dinner, she smiled at those memoires and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her eyes were still hazel but her cheeks were a little bit red and her long hair was almost dry, she touched her necklace under the shirt and felt safe.
"Promise me that you will live, for me."
Lily remembered those words, those words only since she was a young child. She always believes that those words, that voice, was her mother that she could never rememeber. She looked down at her hands and saw no cuts, her knuckles had nothing on them, they looked healed and clean.
Did that light heal me? Do I have healing powers?
She tried to think about it but she felt tired, she choose to think about it tomorrow and to sleep on it for now. She gave a small grin and looked at herself in the mirror.
I promised Sister that I'll find someone to help me, and damn it I will.
Lily walked out of the bathroom.
