Chapter 1
The End
It was a sad day for them , none of them had had easy lives but what they were facing today it was something that they were never prepared for , she had trained them for many things and she had done an excellent job at it , but the final lesson , how to continue after she was gone it had to be learnt on their own .
Once they were back home they sat down for lunch with all the kids it was a quiet lunch most of them were teenagers except for five that were barely in their early twenties , and their faces reflected the question that all of them were thinking but no of them were able to ask .After lunch they sat down in the library and closed the door , something very unusual in that house for their mentor never believed in closed doors
Nicolas , look directly at Laura , expecting her to be the first one to speak he didn't wanted to hear what she had to say , he never wanted to and actually he was really hoping that she didn't had anything to say , but with her he never knew , her pre cognition power was her secondary mutation and it wasn't something she could control at will , and even thought what she said it always comes to pass it was never enough information to act on it and more often were bad news .
--I supposed you are expecting for me to say something - Laura said softly , with no emotion on her face
--If you do have something to say please do- Nicolas replied
Laura's eyes were made of quartz , which gave her a cold look on her face , every time she taped on her pre cog power they would glow with a faint blue light , last time she used her power she said that in less than a week they would be attending a funeral .
--They are about to get in touch with us , and before midnight we will have visitors –
--Who is coming ?-- Samuel asked
–If your parents had gave you in brains half of what they gave you in looks you 'd be a genius—Juliana said – The x-men , they are the ones coming –
--Why do you always have to make fun of me – Samuel replied
--.I am not making fun of you … I am just stating the obvious you are gorgeous but not very bright –Juliana smiled
While Samuel and Juliana argued , Nicolas focus his attention on his twin brother Daniel they had always been so different so opposite that he could guess that whatever his brother was thinking couldn't be good , Nicolas had always such a fascination for the X-men and the fact that they were about to come was actually good news , he felt that they could use a helping hand , but he was sure that his brother would not welcome any intruders in the family's affairs .
--Juliana tell the kids to gather by the fountain and wait for instructions—said Daniel interrupting the conversation
--I thought that the X-men were the good guys – Samuel said
--they are the good guys-- Nicolas replied and before his brother could said something he added—Plus Laura already said they were coming so there is no way to avoid their visit and we don't even know if the fountain works !
--The fountain works , same as the rings work, mom always told us that if were ever in danger we should go to the fortress !
--But we are not in danger the X-men are coming to help – Nicolas said with anger on his Voice
--They are coming , no one came before , no one could , and the fact that they are coming put us at risk –As Daniel stated his opinion he couldn't help but think that his brother mutant power must have been to always disagree with him , but as far as their opinions were, they always had that twin bond and he knew by looking at him that he will not approved but will meet him half way
--Ok do as he says but sent only the kids make sure every house leader gets the message but the staff remains here , we can no forgo the real world just like that ,once the kids are out you guys go with them , me and Dan will stay and wait for our visitors – but before Nicolas continued his brother spoke at the same time as twins usually do
--Juliana once you are done with this protect our minds from being probe –
--You want me to stop the X-men from reading your minds that is out of my league I mean the professor ,Jean, Emma ,Psylocke … they hold the monopoly when it comes to powerful, telepaths –she laugh ,
--Samuel make sure the evacuation goes fast –Daniel added then he looked at Juliana and said
– Could you at least try
A few minutes went by and Samuel came back and jumped on the couch he was weakened by the effort but still manage to look and Juliana in challenging manner before he said mission accomplished all the kids are gone
Laura thought to herself this is the end , the life that we had ended today she wasn't sure if what was to come would be all bad but she knew that it couldn't be better , she hated her power it was so precise and so vague at the same time she never regretted being a mutant in fact she enjoy he other power but her pre cog made her feel so frustrated and looking at Samuel and Juliana was a painful reminder of that , the first day she met Samuel she knew that he was going to be her husband and the father of her children she knew that he was her soul mate and that he would love her more than anything , but he doesn't know that yet , it has been over 7 years since mother brought him to live with them and still he had no clue and even worse he had a crushed on Juliana , and in a weird way she thought Juliana had feelings for him too , is not like she could just come out and said it out laud she wouldn't want it to be like that , she always hoped for something more romantic but she was tired of waiting …
Then she realized that in fact they couldn't be at present danger , they still had to live long enough for him to fall in love with her , get married and have children , so she decided to lie , she didn't want to leave the twins, on their own to face the X-Men ,and she knew that Samuel and her had to still a lot of things to do before their time was up and that Juliana , could handle her own , so she cover her face as if her vision was causing her a headache so the others couldn't see there was no glow in her eyes , and Said
--Today it was an end but every end is follow by a new beginning , and when they come all five of us will be waiting here for the path that will lead to our new beginning
—She never had lie about a prophecy before and she hoped that it would work despite the fact that she was more theatrical than usual .
Juliana was the only one that knew Laura was lying after all she was a telepath but she didn't want to leave the twins alone not today not the day the buried their mother
--So now what- Juliana said out loud
--We wait after all it might be a good thing – Laura said proud of her lie , then she heard Juiliana's voice in her head " smart move"
Daniel leaned back on his brother waiting to be held , and as he was being held said to his brother
–If worse comes to worse We are ready—
and his brother said
--Yes we are
