My name is Lydia and I was once a werewolf. Yes, once was a werewolf but a werewolf no longer. I remember those nights, the moon full and bright, the power flowing through my veins, the bloodlust, the hunt, the pure joy and ecstasy while stalking and feasting upon my prey. Now those nights are a distant memory. I know not how or what has happened to me. When those nights come again, I can see the bright and full moon through the single barred window of my cell shining in the night sky. I can hear the howls of my beloved companions and deep within me I yearn to be amongst them again but it as if something within me prevents it, it prevents me from running with Ryoichi and the others. I do not change; I do not feel that same power although I still smell the blood and hear the howls. It is as if a part of my soul is missing and I can feel it fighting inside me.
As I sit here, contemplating my situation, I often think of that other man. I can see another cell across the hall, a cell that was once occupied. He sat, well hardly sat much of the time he laid on the stone ground and moaned in pain, in a cell much like mine although he was without a window. While watching him I could see that my situation is not nearly as horrible as his. I sit in comfort, well relative comfort; my body does yearn to be free once again, while I watched the man across from me whither away in some sort of state. I think he may have had some form of leprosy. THE DOCTOR came often to care for him. His commanding yet caring eyes always show the truth in his soul, his love and kindness. Whatever is wrong with me, I rest soundly knowing that THE DOCTOR is working to help cure me of it.
I think all this because today is different. Today is not a full moon but today I am in pain. I can feel my stomach churning as if I have been starving, the hunger that drives my kind into a feral rage hell bent on satisfaction yet I do not feel the beast roaring inside. All I feel is pain. I try to mask it; I decided all ask the man who brings me my food to supply extra pills to help me cope. But I could not, before long I was on the ground in a fit, in painful spasms. My backbone felt like someone was pouring acid down my back and my teeth felt as though they were being bore into from the inside of my gums. The feeling was almost as if… I reached up and grabbed my jaw as a screamed in dreadful realization. What if what was happening to me was what had happened to that other man?! I was after all in the same infirmary. I know THE DOCTOR, he would have hurried to me but it felt like days of lying on the ground, my flesh rotting, my skin blistering, before he came. I laid eyes upon him, THE DOCTOR, I was in love. I saw within his eyes the kindness and care, protection and peace. He would help me. He would cure me. The other doctors and nurse, who strangely looked more like guards, unlocked the cell and dragged me behind THE DOCTOR, down stairs and through hallways filled with other men, women, and creatures. This was my first time outside of my cell that I could remember. Where was I and why were there so many other people here? As I was drug across the stone, dirt and rock catching and clinging to my open wounds I noticed the labels for the first time. Numbers, letters… like subjects, like caged rats. Was that all I was? I remembered THE DOCTOR’s eyes and knew it couldn’t be true. Just room numbers of course. Silly me.
The doors before THE DOCTOR and I opened wide and I was admitted into his laboratory, his room of medicine, and the room I would be healed in. Around me were vials and tubes filled and emptied. Bookshelves filled to the brim were on one side while the other held cages of… of things. Creatures, humanoids, plants, bones, and similar things were against the other. I was thrown down onto a table and strapped down, my pain not ceasing in the slightest. All I could see now was the brightest of lights and darkness around me but the images were still burned within me. The corpse of werewolves, Goragons chained and imprisoned, and the bones of some sort of creature I have never seen before. I began to cry but I saw the face, the silhouette of THE DOCTOR above me. The light reflected against his glasses and I could see his soft smile. I felt so much hate yet so much love. I didn’t understand, but I didn’t have too, my thoughts were interrupted by his voice.
“Lydia, my dear Lydia. I had hoped you would have been the one. I hoped you would have been healed child.” He shook his head and I fought back the tears.
“What.. what is going on?!”
“Shush my dear sweet Lydia.” He brushed my face. “Do you not remember? You came here a beast and I made you a woman again.”
My blood boiled. He had taken away my beast!? My life! “What?! You did this to me? You… You took the wolf from me? I don’t-“
“Together we will create a world without disease. No more death Lydia isn’t that what you want? Do you want your friends and family to die? We can save them Lydia! We can save them!” He shouted at me.
“I don’t need to be saved! You’re killing me here! You are killing them, everyone. That man across the hall, those creatures in your cages… you… you’re not helping us! You’re destroying us!” My head swung across the table and banged against it as he backhanded me before grabbing my throat.
“Wrong Lydia, wrong, I am helping; riding the world of disease, of death, and of decay. You were to help me Lydia.” He looked around frantically before finding something, I could not see because of the light. “You want to be a beast Lydia? You want to see the world decay and die?!” I felt a sharp pain in my next as he stabbed me with something. My neck then got cool, as if water was running down my neck and down my chest. It then began to boil and fizz. All I could do was cry out in pain but I could still hear his voice. It was mad and crazed yet so enchanting, almost soothing. “You failed me Lydia! You failed me! But your precious data won’t be in vain my dear, no sweet child it will not have been for naught. We have furthered the process together!” He laughed as I felt a change coming on, unlike the ones I had experienced before, no this was different, very different. “We are one step closer to finding a cure to a disease forever before marked as a curse. I can make man unstoppable to illness! Unstoppable to death! We are so much closer now Lydia and it is thanks to you!” My hearing was becoming fuzzy and my eyes were beginning to see less and less of the light as his laughter subsided. “Now my sweet child… my darling Lydia, you will serve another purpose. Yes my dear, quiet now, shh it will all be alright now. You wished to be a beast…” his voice began to drift away while I felt my body swaying as if I was lying in the waters and a new mindset began to come over me. It was like a feral rage, I could feel the beast taking over, but this I fought because I could feel within me that if I lost to this, I would never come back from it. “And so I will grant you your wish my sweet Lydia.”
THE DOCTOR turned to the guards outfitted in black armor with a very symbolic “S” on the shoulder pads. “Be kind to Lydia.” He said as the color and white of Lydia’s eyes were overcome by total blackness before the entire body fell limp. “It will be a few hours before her change is complete and I wouldn’t be around her when it does.” He stood up, clasping his hands behind his back. “Let me know what becomes of her would you? That serum is highly unpredictable.” He says as he looks to a cage were a beast unlike any had seen laid died. “That’s what happened last time.” He chuckled as the Sidulus unstrapped Lydia and took her away.
“By your leave Dr. Sid.” They said and received permission before closing the door behind them. One of them took one last look at the beast within the cage as the door closed. It was… disgustingly curious.
