Little Lily of the Valley

Fangs, Paws and Fur

By Kalista Jia

Eternity blinked several times at the weird suggestion from his father. "Animal abilities? You mean like what you did to the hobos?"

At this son's surprised look, Adelson laughed. He adored his son for the fact that the lad was simply too adorable. "Yeah, you want to give it a try?"

"Then I will be treated as the super freak? Oh joy!" The brunet rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"Eternity, don't criticize my work." Adelson shushed warningly. "Aren't you curious? Don't you want to know which animal's DNA you are getting?"

Eternity drummed his fingers elegantly on the coffee table next to him. "How is that going to change my current appearance?"

"Well, you never know. Humans are complex creatures; even I don't truly understand all about humans. Look, Eternity, I am not a cosmetic expert. I don't know how to make you look different now… But, don't you want something different? Sure it demands a certain level of risks. Nevertheless, do you doubt your father's work?"

The brunet frowned his brows in deep thought and sighed, throwing his arms to the sides of his head in frustration. "In brief, I won't have a different look. I am still stuck with this girly face."

Adelson gulped and forced a weak smile upon his old lips. "That's right. You will have super power."

"You do what you are doing is illegal. If the government finds out, you are dead." Eternity eyed his father warningly. "I have no intention of going to jail with you."

"I am well aware." Adelson sighed. "Look at Galileo, the father of science, for example. He was chased by the inquisitors because he thought out of the box. So, I am not saying I am as great as him, but, but, but…" Adelson shook his index finger. "People tend to fear things they don't understand. Once they get it, they will either love you or well… either they want to kill you. How sad humans are."

"So what are you trying to say exactly again?" The brunet huffed, his eyes wandered boringly over his father.

Adelson scratched his head. "I am just doing something different. What other people think of it does not matter. I don't expect them to understand anyway. So what do you think, Eternity? Would you want to join your father and do something out of ordinary?"

"Why do I have a feeling all this is going to turn out really badly?" Eternity rolled his eyes.

"You accept?" Adelson asked with a small genuine smile.

"You will probably harass me until I accept anyway. Might as well be now than later," Eternity groaned. "I am so going to regret choosing this path one day."

Pleased by his son's understanding, Adelson straightened his lab coat excitedly, sliding past a few coded doors. Eternity watched his father exiting his study from the corner of his eyes before pouring himself a cup of Earl Grey tea. It didn't matter if Adelson had gone ahead of him into the complex laboratory. He knew the layout of the whole building by heart now since it used to be his playing ground when he was little. Adelson never had the time to bring his son to the park; so, instead he let Eternity roamed around and explored the laboratory himself.

Finishing up his afternoon tea within a minute, Eternity gathered his sluggish determination and entered his father's laboratory. When he got into the white room filled with complex machinery and various test tubes, Adelson was already behind a huge computer, programming whatever data he needed to execute the experiment.

"Oh, just for you know, the test subjects are still here. They are living in the vacant dorm in the D sector. I don't really dare to let them out of my sight just yet. Most of them are... to say... unstable. They need to learn more self-control before I free them out into the normal society with their new ability. Don't worry. As soon as they can control their impulse, they are out of here." Adelson explained shortly while his fingers danced professionally across the keyboard. "I hope you would stay there to stabilize yourself. Don't worry, you won't stay there forever. Once you adapt, you are free. Not to mention with something special that normal humans don't."

"Great, now we have hobos as happy neighbors." Eternity rolled his eyes mockingly. "No way, I would very much prefer to stay in my room than surround myself with those drug addicts."

Adelson sighed in exasperation. He wondered from whom his son had learned to discriminate others. "Fine, stay in your room then."

Eternity beamed happily. He knew his father was weak against his infamous annoying, whining face. "You are the best, father."

"You just say that to make me happy." Adelson snorted and pointed at the large glass tube placed in the center of the laboratory. "Get inside the capsule, Eternity."

The young man complied and stepped inside the circle. The glass closed around Eternity. The young lad stared nervously at his father who smiled assuring at him. He watched his father worked with the computers and programs with apprehension. After filling all the required information, Adelson turned back to his son and lifted his two thumbs up. Eternity nodded and the process began. Chemical water gradually poured in, filling the tank. If Eternity had not witnessed his father's work for all these years, he would be panicking right now in fear of being drown alive. He knew how his father worked. Adelson was a man of precaution. There will be no danger. The water meant no harm. All he had to do was to hold his breath for twenty seconds and the analysis will be completed.

Just as he calculated, the water was drained away after filling the tank within a timeline of twenty seconds. Eternity blinked the water droplets off his long thick eyelashes. He grunted. His brand new chemise was soaked wet and the chemical smell was so strong it probably won't come off no matter how many times he had to put it in the washing machine.

"So father, what should I do next?"

"Just wait. The computer system is matching your DNA." Adelson said through the intercom.

Eternity twisted the hem of his shirt. "What if I get a hamster's DNA? Can I change it?"

Adelson laughed amusingly. "Hamster huh? I rather you not have that, especially when your father is a scientist… You never know what kind of evil experiment scientists do on those poor hamsters. It would be horrible if I accidentally dissect you, thinking you are just a mere escaped hamster."

"Not funny, father."

The old scientist laughed again. "Eternity, the supercomputer will get you the animal that fit your appearance and personality the best." Adelson continued to type on the keyboard. "See a syringe on your left? Inject it in your left wrist and everything will be done."

Eternity shrugged and picked up the syringe. He hesitated. He had a bad feeling about it but he dismissed it as a sign of nervousness. He watched the needle sank into his wrist. He hissed at the small pain that jolted his nerve. With a quick push, he emptied the syringe.

At first nothing usual happened. They both waited until Eternity's hiss grew into a low growl.

"Eternity?" Adelson called out to his son uncertainly. He hoped with all his heart that his son was doing fine. Eternity looked up at him with the brightest golden eyes he had ever seen. "Eternity can you recognize me?" He quickly asked for reassurance. His old heart was mercilessly hammering against his chest. "Say something!"

"Fa-father" The brunet whispered softly, his fists clenched tightly.

The scientist chuckled uneasily. He nearly had the fright of his life, thinking he had lost his son. "Alright, Eternity. Now I want you to tell me how you are feeling."

"Weird… very weird… I feel as if… I am hungry… I want to eat a deer."

"A what?" Adelson made a confused face.

"I don't know, all I can picture is a deer running across a field and I want to eat it." Eternity admitted with a purr.

Adelson blinked twice. "Oh…Ok… I will get you a… deer after this. Other than your appetite, what else do you feel?"

Eternity snarled. "I… I want to scratch the glass…"

The old scientist raised a brow. He wanted to laugh at the cute face that Eternity was making but he restrained himself. Now wasn't the best time to humor.

"You think you can control your animal urge if I let you out now?"

The younger man shook his head. "All I want is to eat meat, father."

"Well, that is not a good sign now is it? You better don't think I am a piece of meat and bite my head off."

"Wait!" Eternity shouted out. "Don't let me out yet…" He hugged himself tightly and hissed.

"What's wrong?" Adelson panicked. He regretted ever to conduct that experiment on his son now. If he knew things would get that complicated, he wouldn't even dream of proposing the idea to Eternity. Perhaps he didn't feel the same way as he did when he watched his other test subjects thrashed around like wild animals. It was the paternal love that made the difference. It pained him to see his own son in that situation.

"I feel uncontrollable of my own action." Eternity gasped. His breathing quickened. "It hurts… it burns…"

"I see. Don't worry it happens to all the other test subjects before you." Adelson backed off. "Let the animal side of you out, Eternity. Just let go of your resistance."

Eternity groaned and kneeled on the floor. Adelson watched attentively as his son transformed into something else. The clothes melted into the thin air. The usual pale skin was covered in a thin soft layer of light brown fur. The silky chocolate hair slowly turned into a pair of twitching feline ears. The hands were changed into a pair of strong paws. A long brown tail waved playfully in the air. The voice was no longer human... it mewled.
