Lilith finds some hope from facts that are able to bring about despair.

After entering the room in which the others had already moved into, you are pleased to see Lilith seems fine all thou she had not informed you that it would progress to being visible so fast. You can clearly see a bulge in her mid section, she has a soft smile on her face as she sees you enter behind the others. You walk over to her and put a hand on between her's as she reaches out for it, you put the other into Molly's hand.

Molly looks at Lilith a moment and says " You are absolutely as beautiful, as I thought you would be Lily, like a slower blooming kinda. As I see your wings Lily I believe we picked a good name for you." She leans forward and kisses her on the cheek as she moves to the other side of her as she holds your hand. She then adds " And might I add you seem to have gotten that glow from mating a bit faster then some of us."

Lily would be blushing right now if she was in her human form, but because she is not and her personality shifted a bit she just gives a bit of a curt nod and says to all in the room as if she did not realize she was going to be treated as an equal, " It happens to be an honor to have been the one picked to take a name and take part in the actions that had been requested of me." she leans forward and puts her head on top of Molly's as a sign of submission to suggest you can bite my neck if you have a problem. But Molly being who she is quickly moves her head and face up the side of Lily's and licks her cheek, a bit more playfully then the kiss she has given.

Doc looks at the exchange and says " Yes, indeed she is a fine and beautiful. Now since what I need is simply blood, to run and check on this will not take long at all. But I do have a few things to say, quickly to see if it helps Lilith here feel better or maybe yourself Alex."

You just nod as Doc looks into Lilith's eyes and says " I can't do anything to help allow you to be with Alex in the way you might want to be, so either you must learn to enjoy the things he can do for you and bond to him as much as you can with what time either of you might find to do it. Or be happy like others might be with what they have gotten, his original Pet has decided the cubs had been what she wanted most in all the world. Her need to protected and love something of herself and to protect something of herself has allowed her to have much happiness I am told."

Lilith nods a moment and looks at you a moment and then asks " So what will are bond do? are my beliefs that the little ones in the eggs may have the ability to be like Alex be true? Will they be able to turn to stone maybe if they are not like Alex?"

Doc smiles at her and pats her on the leg as both Molly and you hold one of her hands, and Doc says " Lilith, they will more then likely be like the second thing you suggested. And they will be the longest living of any of us, they will most likely be at some point able to learn to control their bodies and turn human thou it might be hit or miss. It could be one it could be two, or it could be three if you indeed lay that many eggs."

Lilith smiles at hearing that in the future they might be able to learn to be like you but at the same time it pains her a little and the Doc sees this and says " Dear Lilith, don't be sad the bond between you and Alex even a short one. Will still have lasting effects on you, besides having a name you will mostly be the longest living of the current type of Gargoyle and the generation you belong to. I have a feeling the magic with in Alex will stop your aging and you will indeed age more like the rest of the Animorphs that is to say your aging will stop. Meaning you could end up living as long as your offspring, I did not til this to Alex. But it will ride mostly on your bond to Alex, and how well the two of you manage to embrace it. So long as his magic effects you in a great way, be it the feelings in your heart or the peace of mind you feel. Or the feeling of safety you now have on the whole or because of what you are if your feelings or needs to protected others simply shifts to needing to protect the little ones. This chance may be the change that shows that the magic has taken full effect."

Lilith looks a little hopeful so Doc keeps explaining "I am also sorry to have to tell you, but because you are of science and not of magic thou a piece of the magic was left in your existence. You will mostly never gain the ability to become human, thou if some how you manage to over come this barrier and do manage to gain your humanity as in not needing to shift. I have no idea what will happen, what I mean is. Your form unlike say Molly's will be the most confused of all, you may lose the ability all together to shift back. You may never again for safety reasons be able to use DNA pills or any other thing to take the form you currently have."

Lilith looks at you a moment and then at Doc and asks " So if I don't use the pills might I still be able to one day change back if I some how gained control of it to do so?"

Doc shakes her head and says " Your form is a blend of many others, your primary form is that of a wolf. But you also have some random bird DNA you may even have pieces of more then one bird. You also have a bit of bat mixed with lizard, to get the wings to be designed how they are. To be more like a dragon and less like a bird or a bat, so you can see how your body make up is not likely to be entirely sure of what you are. Your spirit already knows both forms, but if you over come the automatic change and remain human. Your Spirit your Animal form or your inner Gargoyle will become a confused mix of different animals. And to expose you to the possibility of returning or allowing you to do so could be life threatening, so in other words if you become human and don't shift again. I would recommend you stay that way, at least til I have time to think on this. I will also, have the computer run the information on all the DNA in your blood and check to see how many it happens to be."

With a bit of a grin the Doctor tries to move onto good news "Thou the good news I think would be once you become only human your mating cycle will mostly be broken, and the most simple way to know if the form of your Gargoyle is a jumble is when you don't return to it, your sexual organs revert to human. If we believe this has happen we will check the shape and characteristics of said organs, and test your blood should we believe if some how your body because of contacted with Alex flushed out everything but the affects of the magic and the change or alteration in your aging. Strangely we have learned how to test for it, the aging not the magic, if after you stabilize as human and have had time to get use to it should it happen. After a few years it might be safe to take a new form if tests and other things go well, it's hard to tell really. At that point you will be working all on magic, no science at all. And you would have started a new breed of Animorph in doing so."

Lilith just blinks at this information and asks " How long has any of this information been considered?"

Doc smirks and says " Since the creation of Demonia it has been thrown about what would happen if someone like Alex, that is a strong male with Alpha characteristics and the magic mark or marks to back it up. Were to effect the magic bond that is loosely latched onto the science that created her. In other words in answer of Alex's question he asked earlier and your own, should she ever end up human it would not matter how much you have sex so long as she is on the proper medication. But the numbers that had been ran on Demonia had been like worse then the odds of being hit by lighting, thou if it was to be considered that Alex is not the only one able to effect this bond. As well as the fact that two of the three people would could effect it don't have full control of the magic within them and the fact that in truth only I or Alex could honestly effect it in some great manner because of the nature of the magic within either of us. That is to say the marks on us are not the same as the mark on Abby, her magic and ability is much like that of Animorphs it was inherited over many generations at random chance. It does not happen to be an original bond like Alex or mine so to speak. To be honest because none of this has happen and it would only be possible for one with foresight to predicted this honestly. I can't figure this out one way or the other in the end. To many random possibilities, and much of them have to do with things none of us have control over on any level."

Lilith looks at Alex and then at the Doc and says " So I could in truth one day maybe mate with Alex anytime I want however I want?" She looks hopeful of this, but you can't help but be pained by the possibility she might lose her true nature as far as her nature is now thou because of the science that made her as apposed to the nature of the others. Her true nature much like your own because of the magic and not knowing the beast that controls it all makes hard for you on the whole, as you think of the possible confusion she might under go because of the magic within you.

You look at the Doc and ask " So she does not have one beast in her soul or spirit? Or is it possible she like all of us have a beast that is meant to help us control these things and she just does not know it. And the form she has is **** much like what happen with the wolf form that made me larger? or the saber-cat? Or would it work different for her?"

Doc drums her fingers on her chin a moment and says " Well, in theory her the nature of her beast would be the primary animal of her creation. So like Petra, she would be the wolf. So in some ways, it could be said the confusion would not be great. But at the same time, in less she becomes human after she lays the eggs and one day remains it after one of her transformations. Much like your size change there is no way of knowing how great the alterations to her size and general appearances might try and match her spirit. If it tries to match to a bird girl or a bat girl or a wolf or a lizard, or for that matter all four or more. Then the fact that her arms are not her wings, there is no telling what would happen. Now you see why I would say she would have to have a cooling off period for her safety? that means you would have to make sure not to Howl or change around her, that includes the others. Because the others are attached to your soul as she might one day be more so attached to a degree that her soul might trust you enough to allow you to ask her body to do some of what I suggested might be able to happen you get the idea. It would not be good for her to hear the emotion or feeling of the others going from Animal to Human and back and so on. It would never allow her to calm herself to some day attempt to figure out her form or to at least return to the wolf her primary form."

Lilith at hearing this conflicted which might go on within her realizes why it happens to be so Serious and says " Ok I think I understand, so the conflicted is something that would need to be avoided."

You look at Doc and say " But my magic the mark the stuff, does it not do what I tell it to do?"

Doc shakes her head and says " It will not do what you say to do 100 percent til you figure it out and trust it and support it, your still confused. It doe's most of what you say so long as you feel it the thing to do, and other peoples beast or soul does the same. But you only really have control over Petra and Pam in this regard, and you can effect or help Abby take her form. It also seems clear you can help others gain hands as you did with Molly but the change of the hands does not have the same effect as the other things do." She thinks about this a moment and then nods, before adding " Thou being able to change her hands is a sign that she could change other things, safely in that form and still not end up like you."

You think for a second longer and says " Petra said ' your words have power, as do your beliefs.' would that note mean that if I believe I am what I should be, that I will be what I should be?" you think about this a second and say " So I don't need to howl at all, the howl or the words to change are nothing more then me believing what I say enough to voice it or state it in some way that others might understand what I believe?"

The Doc smiles and says " I have talked with Abby about this, I listen to recording from your room about her first transformation and a chat she had with Petra I went over it with her, and the moment she seemed to lose hope that she had done the right thing or stopped believing in herself in the heated chat she had with Petra she passed out again. And from what I know it is very true that you must believe in it and yourself and strongly feel it, the howls as you put it are slowly getting more quiet over time. I heard the one you gave Molly to change her hands and her mimic of it. It shows that you are learning but still not where it needs to be to believe in it to help keep Lilith here Safe and to keep the required parts of her gifts well some how shielding her spirit against the other beasts, I know it can be done with help from others. I would have to be included if or when it does happen, it's hard to say on the whole. But it would be something close to what the saber-cat elder did with you to help you take that form. In other words, it will require a lot of learning for all of us and a lot of faith and hope. And maybe a bit more of an understanding of all other things we can find or figure to make it reality."

Lilith feel a little strange after hearing all this, but she had started to lean forward and wrap her arms around both you and Molly, and her wings had started to also do the same, as if she was trying to protect herself or both of you as she felt or maybe she was trying to wrap herself up to feel bit better but it had the effect of drawing the two most trusted people closer to her and you both turn under her wings toward her as you feel her doing this and hug her. She seems to have tears in her eyes as she thinks about the bits of information that in some rational way seem to connect but the jumble on the whole is confusing. When she realizes your not crying but seem just as confused, she starts to feel better and leans more toward your muzzle and licks it before turning to Molly and doing the same.

Lilith Draws back he wings and looks at everyone a moment before say " Thanks, it does make me feel better to at least have hope to maybe one day have what I would like to have. Which I would hope would be nothing more or nothing less then any of the others who want to be with Alex, so til then I will try to be happy with what we can or might have as I keep waiting for lighting you said?"

You look at the Doc and Smirk and suggest " Maybe that is all that it will take? to allow her to scare off the other beasts from within? a good shock? I mean once it checked studied and figured out?"

The Doc takes this time to think for a second before scowling at you but then it slowly turns into a smirk as well and says " Now I see clearly why, Max likes you as much as he does. That might be what it takes, but I will put that piece of information down in my brain as last resort. For now the four of you need to go eat, I would join you but I got files to update and write. And since some of what we talked about is the stuff the engineers who built her had known and the things we suggested and so on I will look into it, she also was not so much built as breed since Demonia was built but you know what I mean."

Lilith nods as does Molly and Abby and you just shrug it happens to be clear that many interesting ideas had come up and you learned there was a difference in you and Abby and that she was indeed a bit more like the Animorphs and less like you or even the Doc. So now all that is left to go off and get food and some rest. But you do know it happens to be the difference of inherited traits and what you could figure to be gifted traits, so that would mean the Doc had the magic gifted to her. But this now makes you wonder how the magic then will effect Molly or Kamrin, as well as Petra and Pam or if they can pass this on to anyone but their own off spring.

You shake your head clear of this and say " All right you four it's time to go eat, in less of course Abby has stuff to write up or something else to consider at which case I understand you do after all mostly need to go over this stuff with the Doc since you learned as much here today as I did. Thou I believe you have a better reference point then I do after the last few days of working with her correct?"

Abby thinks for a moment and shrugs for a second and then the Doc says " Good point, Abby we need to talk about a few things alone without them. Some of the things that had been brought up, we will eat in my office after you pick up your pop from class alright Abby?"

Abby thinks about it a second looks at you a moment then comes over and gives you a hug and a kiss and says " Don't forget about me, we do have to get together just the two of us or at least as few of us as possible so we can chat sometime soon."

You turn to Molly a second who seems about to laugh but she says " Don't worry Abby, I know you got **** to observe as we dealt with business but you learned a lot of needed information."

Abby nods and says " And it mostly gives the Doc something to talk about for a little while, and since I might have some effect on the pup I am taking care of and considering adopting it mostly makes sense for her to listen to it as well."

The Doc thinks for a moment and nods and says " True, because she is having a positive effect on you as well."

Abby starts to blush but then kisses you and and says " see you soon Alex."

You hug her tight and say " Be safe and I will see you soon." Licking the side of her face as everyone files out of the appointment room, you also realized how cozy over all it was in that room with two large people. One wolf and one Wolf with large wings and the Doc you, just did not notice how small it was til after you left the room.
