(telepathic thoughts) thoughts

One day as Sarah Graham was walking home from school she was hoping that her parents weren't fighting like they had been when she left for school. If they are I'll just run up to my room and blast some music she thought. As she started up her walk way she heard her parents argueing. She opened up the door and tried to sneak up to her room. But no luck.

"Sarah can you come here?" her mom called. Damn she thought this past year had been hell with her parents always argueing. As she headed to the living room she couldn't help but wonder why had she ended up with this family instead of another one? They had adopted her when she was seven when they had found out they couldn't have a child of their own.

One look at her dad with his red hair and blue eyes told you that he was Irish. One look at her mom with her blond hair and green eyes told you that well she was pretty. Sarah looked like a normal teenager. With her dark brown hair that looked arburn, her deep dark brown eyes that were a little bit unusual, and her tall silm figure made her look older then she really was. She was fifteen on the edge of her sixteenth birthday.She headed into the living room. One look at her parents said they probably had been argueing since she left for school.

"We need you to answer a question for us" her dad started.

"Only you can help us with our problem" her mom stated.

"What?" she asked not wanting to get in the middle of their argueing.

"Were do you want to go on our summer vaction?" her dad asked.

"I don't know" she told them. So their fight had progressed since that morning. Soon they were fighting about their summer vaction and her. They're fighting about me she thought angerly.It didn't matter that they were fighting about bringing her into their fight it was the fact that they were doing it all!

"STOP!" she yelled. "Why are you guys always fighting?! Its getting on my last nerve!" Her hands were hurting from clenching them so hard. "Why do you guys always fight? Why can't you guys stop fighting?"

She was so angry that she almost didn't realize that her eyes, ears, and nose were starting to hurt and burn. She was giving her self a headache or so she thought. All of sudden a string of red electricity shot out of her hand. She stared at the spot on the wall were it had it hit realizing that she had been the the one to do that. Her eye sight was better, (she always had good eye sight it just was better) her hearing was stronger, alot stronger. She could hear Miss.Johnson's little dog, Cookie barking as Miss.Johnson left in her car and they lived two and an half blocks away! Her scent of smell was stronger, better, an whole lot stronger, and better. She could smell her dad's after shave, and cologene mixing with his natural scent perfectly. Her mom's perfume mixed with her natural scent just as well as her dads if not more. Soon her dad was holding her mom and comforting her.

"She's a mutant Paul! What did I do wrong?" her mom cried.

"Shh, Kelly" her dad said tring to comfort her mom. Sarah ran up to her room with tears stinging her eyes. As she did she heard her mom cry out "She's a mutant Paul! For God sake she's a MUTANT!"

That night Sarah stayed in her room the whole night. Not coming out for anything. When her parents went to bed she turned out her light to make them think that she had went to bed. About ten minutes later she snuck out of her room, she headed to her parents room.

She heard her mom say "Paul what are we going to do?" and then she heard her dad say "I guess we have to call the police and turn her in like the goverment asked people to do when they found a mutant."

Sarah couldn't belive her ears. Her parents were going to turn her in. And she didn't do anything wrong! She had always hated how the goverment treated mutants and she had always hated the way people talked about them. Sarah headed back to her room angry and upset. When she got in her room a string of red electricity shot out from her hand making her realize that she had to keep her emotions in check.

She went to her closet and grabbed her old, trusted back pack and sat it on her bed then she started to put a few clothes in it. When she was done she grabbed her bag (what she calls her back pack) and put her journal in it along with a pen or two. She then went under bed and grabbed her money safe. She put in her four digit code and took out her money and counted it.

"Alright, so it was worth it to save my money since my fourteenth birthday! I got fifty bucks! And 35 cents. Now lets see how much I got in my wallet." She grabbed her chain wallet to see how much was in it. "Okay ten dollars. Hmm maybe I should check my other one." She grabbed her super girl wallet and checked it. "Alright twenty five dollars and seventy-five cents." She put both wallets in her bag and the rest of her money.

She went into one of her drawers and grabbed a pair of gloves she slipped them on. Seeing that the gloves only covered her hands so she grabbed a zip up sweat shirt and zipped it up to her upper chest. She grabbed a old coat that she had in her closet that she had and folded up and put in her bag. She then went down stairs to get some food. She grabbed a apple, some sandwichs her mom kept in the refrigerator in case any one got hungry, she then grabbed a few juice boxes. She went back up to her room. She put the food in her bag, made sure she had everything, deciding not to take her art and music stuff, and closed her bag.

She quickly wrote her parents a note saying she didn't know if she see them again but that she loved them and was upset that they were going to turn her in. She signed the note, With love, Sarah.

She opened her window and slung her bag over her shoulder surprised at how light it felt. She climbed out of her window on to the tree outside her window, and climbed all the way down. Then she took off in to the night.

By dawn Sarah had reached Virgina. She had been to Virgina before on a field trip. She thanked the truck driver for giving her a ride all this way and for droping her off at the bus station. She went up to the counter.

"Where would you like to buy a ticket for Miss?" the lady behind the counter asked.

"New Jersey."

"Would you like a round trip ticket?" the lady asked like she had done this an hundred timea.

"No thanks. I don't think I'll be coming back. At least not for a long time."

"Okay. What bus to New Jersey do you want to take?"

"The very next one please."

"Alright here is your ticket and your bus leaves in five mintues. You can go ahead and broad."

Sarah gave the lady the twenty-five dollars for the ticket, said thanks and went to the bus. She got on it, showed the bus driver her ticket and went to sit down. She placed her bag next to her hoping nobody would sit next to her. Sarah caught an look of her self in the window. She now had a red tint to her eyes. It only made her eyes more unuusal She then pulled out her journal and started to write about what happen to her since yesterday. The bus ride to New Jersey started. Sarah was on her way to New Jersey. An Few Days Later
Who ever came up with the idea for journals in class knew how to torture one of the seniors at Bayvill High thought. He glanced at the clock for the hundredth time that afternoon. He couldn't wait for school to be over. He also couldn't wait to get back to the institue. The bell rung signaling that school was over for the day. He closed his note book, and handed it to his teacher.

Scott Summers stood up and streched his tall frame, glad school was over. He ran in to one of his friends from the institue in the hallway. Kitty Pryde was flirting of course.

"C'mon Kitty we got to go" Scott told her. On their way back to the manison Scott couldn't help himself. He had to tease her about her flirting with boys (to him it seemed like she was flirting all the time. Which she was.)

"So whens the wedding?" Scott said teasingly. Scott ducked under her flying fist.

"Oh like shut-up Scott." Kitty told him. "I can't wait to get back to the mansion. I want to like get in the pool. Its like hot out here!" Kitty complained.

"Yeah it sure is" Scott said agreeing with her. "Hmm I wonder what would your boyfriend would say to you getting in the pool with Me, Kurt, and Evan." Scott said teasing Kitty.

This time though he didn't move fast enough. "Ow!"

Just as Kurt Wagner, and Evan Daniels were fixing to get in the pool when Logan called them, "Hey you two come here!"

"What did you do Kurt?" asked Evan.

"I didn't do anything Evan." Kurt repiled in his thick Greman accent.

"Yeah right fur ball."

"The Professor wants you two" Logan growled.

"Uh...oh."

"Ve're in trouble Ev." On their why to meet the Professer they ran in to two of their friends. Evan's aunt Ororo Munroe had Jean Grey, and Rogue with her.

"I got these two." she said.

"What did you two do?" Evan asked.

"Ah don't know about red here, but ah didn't do anything." Rogue said in her southern accent.

"I didn't do anything either." Jean repiled.

"Vell I guess ve follow Logan, and Ororo to find out whats going on." Kurt said. So they did.
What the hell is going on? The thought ran through Rogue's mind once again. She had been with Jean in her room, listening to her talk about her and Kitty going to the mall to shop, in which Rogue repiled "Again?" They were always going shopping it seemed like to Rogue. When Ororo had came and got them, saying the Professor wanted to see them. She wouldn't tell them a thing. Either the Professor had asked her to or she didn't know. When they got to the room where the Professor tells them of missions The Professor was waiting for them. Charles Xavier was the one who basically ran the show. He was their boss in other words.

"Kurt can you pop upstairs and get Scott and Kitty for me?" the Professer asked Kurt. With that Kurt teleported. The smell of sulfer filled the air. Three seconds later kurt was back with Scott and Kitty.

"Whats going on Professor?" Jean asked.

"Theres a new mutant" he said. "

"Where Professor?" Scott asked taking the role of leader.

"New Jersey, and not a good part either."

"Well lets go get the poor child then Charles." Ororo said.

"We are Ororo. But I'm letting you all know what her powers are, so you'll be prepared."

"It's a girl?" Kitty asked.

"Yes."

"Ah man we don't need anymore girls around here." Evan joked.

"Shut-up Ev." Rogue told him.

"Now can I continue?" the Professor asked.

"Oh sorry Professor." Kitty said.

"Her name is Sarah Graham, she's fifteen, and she has some very strong powers. She can create red electricity out of her hands. She has to keep her emotions in check because if she doesn't she loses control.She has powers like an animal, because she can transform into animals. That means she has heighted senses, agilty, she also has super strength like a animal. Though she just found that one out yesterday. So in other words shes like an animal more then any one of us, except for Logan of course."

"Wow. She must be scared." that of course came from Kitty.

"Yes she is. Thats why I want Rogue, Kurt, and Evan to go get her."

"Why us Professer?" Evan asked.

"I think she will get along with you three more easily then the others."

"Oh."

"Now I've packed you three a weeks worth of clothes. Lets hope that Sarah will want to come soon. Jean, Sarah will be bunking with you."

"Professer why would she be bunking with me, when she and I won't be having any classes together?" Jean asked.

"Its only temporary. When I found her I could tell that her powers are going to be hard to control so I think its best if she have her own room. Just to be safe. Well you three better be going." So Rogue, Evan, and Kurt took the clothes and were on their way.

They arrived in New Jersey around four in the morning. They went into the hotel were Sarah was staying.

"Ugh. I don't how anyone could stay here, much less live here." Evan said with a note of ewww in his voice.

They grabed their bags and went inside. There was nobody at the desk. Rogue went to the computer on the desk.

"Ok she is in room...nine. So lets get rooms eight, and ten."

Just then the owner came back. Rogue moved back to were Kurt and Evan were in the nick of time.

"Hey do you youngsters need a room?"

"Yes. We would like rooms eight and ten." Rogue told the man. The guy gave them a look but didn't say anything.

"Ok the young lady gets room ten, while the young boys get room eight. Its five, fifty a night." Evan handed the man the money for that night. They went to their rooms to get some sleep."Wake up fur ball!" Evan said trying to get Kurt up.

"Ugh Evan ve vent to bed at four thrity in the morning! Its only...TEN in the morning?! UGH!"

"Kurt if we're going to get Sarah to come back with us, we can't sleep all day. So get up you FUR BALL!"

"Fine I'm up. Happy?"

"Yes, very much. I'll go check on Rogue."

"Yeah you go do that and get your head bit off." Kurt grumbled heading for the bathroom to take a shower.

Evan went to Rogue's room and knocked. He was surprised when she opened.

"Just seeing if you were awake."

"Well ah am."

"Ok. well I guess we wait for Kurt and then see about Sarah."

They waited untill Kurt was ready and they went to Sarah's room and knocked.

"Um, hello." Sarah said.

"Hi. I"m Kurt, and this is Rogue, and Evan."

"Hey."

"Hi."

"Ve were wondering do you know a good place to eat."

"Um theres a cafe down the street."

"Can you show us?"

"Uh sure. I'm Sarah by the way."

"C'mon. I'm hungry!" Kurt complained.

Soon they were sitting in booth in the cafe, Black Diamond.

"So Sarah why are in New Jersey?" Evan asked.

"Well I kinda had to get away from were I'm from so I came up here." Kurt noticed that Sarah had a slight southern accent.

"Are you from the south?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah I am. How did you know?"

"I can hear a slight accent. So were are you from?"

"North Carliona."

"Right in the middle huh?"

"Yep. I guess thats why I only have a slight accent. So were are you guys from?"

They told were they came and soon they were talking like old friends.

That night Rogue, Evan, and Kurt were in the boys room trying to comeup with a plan.

"Well we could just tell her." Kurt suggested.

"Sorry elf. But shes scared we need to earn her trust so she won't be scared." Evan said. They kept on talking about how to get Sarah to come with them. They interrupted by a knock on the door. Kurt opened it to find Sarah standing there.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I couldn't help but over hear. Are you guys mutants too?"

"Yeah we are. And how did you hear us? I mean we were talking kinda low." Evan asked.

"Did yah forget what the professor said? She has hightened senses." Rogue remined him.

"How did you know?" Sarah asked counfused. They explained about the Professor and the institue and the x-men. As Sarah listened she grew more hopeful then she had been in days. She agreed to go back with them, ready to start over. They said goodnight after telling Sarah about the rest of the team.

Rogue was in one word happy. She had always felt a little out of place when she would hang out with Jean and Kitty because they were preppy as hell and she was,...well not. She was more dark. And now it seemed like she would have someone she could relate to. She knew that her and Sarah had plenty in common. On their way back to the hotel her and Sarah had started to talk about music, and they listened to most of the same stuff. She remebered Sarah saying she had a passion for music and art. She also liked to write. She had said she liked to write her own songs, poems, and stories. As Rogue slid in to bed she couldn't wait to hang out with Sarah and not feel like she was out of place. And she couldn't wait to see what she could do. Rogue was betting that Sarah could do some serious damage.
That afternoon as they were on the road Sarah was telling a joke.

"Ok, Kurt would you remember me in an day?"

"Yeah."

"Would you remember me in an month?"

"Yeah."

"Would you remember me in a year?"

"Yeah."

"Would you remember me in ten years?"

"Yeah."

"Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

"See you already forgot me and I'm right here in the same car as you!"

"Ha ha ha! She got you good fur ball!" Evan chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah." Kurt said. They kept on joking and laughing, and talking untill they reached the mansion just in time for supper. As they were getting their stuff out of the car everyone came out. "

"Hello, Sarah. I am Charles Xavier."

"So you're a mutant too?" Sarah asked.

"Yes I am. We all are."

"Hello Sarah. I'm Ororo Munroe."

"Hi."

"I'm Logan."

"Hi."

"Hey Sarah, I'm Jean Grey and you are going to be bunking with me for a while."

"Cool."

"Hey there Sarah. I'm Scott Summers."

"Hi."

"Hi Sarah! I'm Kitty Pryde."

"Hi."

"Well now that you know our names what do you say we go eat and get to know each other better. Shall we?" the Professor asked. After they had gotten everything inside they sat to eat.

"So what can you guys do?" Sarah asked. She had been wondering since she had found out about this place.

(Sarah I am a telepath. I can read minds.) Sarah looked at Professor X, she realized that he hadn't moved his lips.

"Ok I was not expecting that." she said.

"Don't worry I'll teach you how to have up mental shields so no one can read you mind without you wanting them to." the Professor told her.

A rumble of thunder passed over the mansion and Ororo smiled knowingly.

Wow Sarah thought.

Logan unsheathed an claw and stabbed a piece of pork chop.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side mister." she told Logan. All Logan did was give a small smile and a faint one at that.

Evan grew a spike in a matter of seconds and used it to grab a piece of potato.

Kitty phased half way through her chair and then she pulled her self back up and smiled at Sarah.

"I would show you what I can do but I think it would cause some serious damage." Scott said.

"Huh?" Sarah asked.

"I shoot optic blasts from my eyes. That why I can't take these glasses off." Scott said pointing at his glasses.

"I'm a telepath but I also have a bit of telekinesis." Jean told her. Then the salt started to raise and floated toward Jean.

Kurt went to turn his halo watch off.

"Kurt are you sure?" Professor X asked.

"Ja." He turned it off. Sarah was greeted with the sight of a blue elf sitting right were Kurt had been.

"Whoa."

"Your not scared of me are you Sarah?" Kurt asked.

"No way Kurt! I'm more afriad of what he could do to me if I made him angry." Sarah said pointing at Logan.

"Good. Now watch this." Kurt said. Kurt teleported to the other end of the room. Were he had been there was an dark blueish, purple, cloud of smoke. Sarah coughed when the smell of sulfer hit her nose. Kurt telproted back to his seat.

"Are you ok Sarah? I didn't make you sick did I?" Kurt asked.

"No. I got hightened senses remeber?"

"No. I forgot."

"Just like Evan huh?"

"Yeah I guess so." Kurt said happy that he hadn't made her sick.

"Ah would show you my power but its too risky and too dngerous." Rogue said.

"Huh?" Sarah asked.

"Rogue has the power to absorb others thoughts, memory, and with the case of mutants, their abilities by touch." the Professor explained. After they were done eating Sarah got showed to her room that she would be shareing with Jean temporarily. She then talked with the Professor about the x-men, going to Bayvill High with the others, and controlling her powers. It was ten o'clock when Sarah went to bed. She went in to Jeans room. She realized that Jean was still up.

"So Sarah do you want to go shopping with Kitty, Rogue and me tomorrow to get you some new clothes?"

"Sure."

"Ok good night Sarah."

"Good night Jean." Sarah got in to bed ready to head off to dream land, and la la land too. She fell alsleep in a matter of seconds with a grin on her face.

Around three in the morning Sarah started to have an dream.

She was hearing accents that seemed so familar, and comforting, and yet she couldn't place them.

She was smelling things that seemed so familar, and yet she didn't know what she was smelling.

She was seeing things that seemed like she saw them all the time, and yet she never saw them in her whole life.

She was looking around when an tall dark stranger came out of the shadows. She couldn't tell what the stranger looked like, but she could tell that the stranger was an man. The only thing she could tell besides that it was an man was that his eyes glowed red.

"Hello?" Sarah asked stupidly.

She watched as the stranger's hand went into his pocket. She started to walk backwards slowly. The stranger pulled out an rectangle object. Sarah couldn't move anymore. The object started to glow. She watch as the stranger threw the redish, purpleish object at her. It seemed to be moving in slow motion, and that just made it worse. She could now see that it was an playing card. Not that helped. It was the queen of hearts not that helped either. The card hit her in her chest.

Sarah woke up pouring sweat. Her heart was ponding in her chest. She sat up in her bed, she felt Jeans eyes on her. She looked at Jean.

"What is it Jean?" Sarah asked hoping she wouldn't ask about her bad dream.

"I was senseing you were having an bad dream, and in turn I got one. Are you ok Sarah?"

"Yeah. Sorry about you getting an bad dream."

"Its ok. Are you sure you are ok?"

"Yeah." Jean seemed to study her face. I wonder if shes looking into my mind Sarah wondered. So she put the thought, Jean is nosey into her head. But Jean didn't seem to notice. So she probably wasn't looking in my head Sarah thought. Probably. Sarah turned over so her back was facing Jean.

"Good night Jean."

"Good night Sarah." Sarah felt Jeans eyes on her for an second, and the heard her turn over.

She had had that dream before. But the part with the stranger, and the card was new. Maybe with all thats going on my mind just added that part into her dream. Yeah thats it, Sarah thought trying to convince herself. But she couldn't shake the feeling that she knew the stranger. And that she was connected to the stranger some how. And that he was an mutant, that explained the glowing card. Some how Sarah fell back alsleep. This time without an grin on her face.

After two hours at the mall Sarah was tired. She had already gotten enough clothles for the school year, and she had got a few dvds, and and a few cds. She had gotten some dvds, Planet of the Apes, Scorpion King, and Walking Tall. She had gotten some cds, Nickleback, Godsmack, Avril Lavigne and Green Day.

She looked at Rogue as they sat down in the food court, and asked, "Are Jean and Kitty always like this at the mall?"

"Yes they are."

"Ok remind me never to go shopping with them again." Sarah joked. Soon they were eating lunch. They all had chinese food.

"Sarah if you want I can burn some cds for you." Kitty said to Sarah.

"Cool. Thanks Kitty."

"No problem."

After they ate Sarah had to make one last stop. She had to go the art and craft store. She grabbed two things of sketch books, two things of color pencils, and three notebooks. One for songs, one for poems, and the last one for stories. She paid for it all with some of the money she still had. As they were walking out of the mall they walked right by an hair salon. Sarah stopped in her tracks, causing Jean, Kitty, and Rogue to stop. Hmm. My mom would never let me color my hair, but I don't need her permission now do I? Sarah thought.

"What are you doing Sarah? Jean asked.

"I just had an Idea."

"What?"

"Well why don't you wait here for about thrity minutes and then you'll see?"

"Ok. But hurry up."

"Ok. Now close your eyes and count to twenty and I'll go ok?"

"Fine just hurry up!"

"Ok, ok." About thrity minutes later Sarah walked up to her friends. They didn't notice her because they were to busy looking at guys, and at the stuff they bought.

"Hey guys! Ta-da!"

"Whoa!"

"Like too cool!"

"Cool!"

"So you guys like it?" Sarah asked nervous.

"Totally Sarah! Its so cool!"

"Thanks Kitty. So what about you guys? Jean? Rogue?"

"I love it Sarah." Jean told her.

"Its awsome." Rogue told her.

"Well lets go then." Sarah took some of the bags while the others took some too.

"Is it perment Sarah?" Jean asked as they put the bags in the car.

"Yeah it is. They have a computer that shows you what you look like with an new hair do, and I loved it so I was like "make it perment. I love it!" and I can always recolor it if I get sick of it. But that won't happen for awhile." They got back in the car and they headed back to the mansion.

A/N:Okay, not the best place to end it, but deal with it!
