Story of a guilty heart: Secrets
Prologue
From inside the Blackbird the sound of water crashing through the trees could be heard. Trees were torn from the ground by the water that had been behind the dam. The only thing that kept the blackbird safe from the raging water, was their team-mate Jean Grey.
"I know what I'm doing" Professor Charles Xavier whispered, his eyes tightly shut. "This is the only way"
Scott Summers (Cyclops) ran over to the Professor and grabbed his shoulder. "Jean?" he whispered, sounding so close to tears. "Listen to me. Don't do this"
"Good-bye" Xavier breathed. Scott Summers ran to the front of the Blackbird.
"No! No! No!" Logan yelled.
As the X-Men watched Jean Grey slowly levitate the jet into the air, an orange glow engulfed their team-mate, just before she released the wall of water and allowed it to swallow her.
"She's gone" Logan said, hardly believing his own words. "She's gone."
"No! You don't say that!" screamed Scott, grabbing Logan's shoulders and shaking him. "We gotta go back!" he practically cried.
"She's gone" Logan repeated.
"No! No!" Scott yelled, but after a few moments, realization sunk in. "No!" he cried into Logan's shoulder. "She's gone" Scott kept repeating while crying.
Even though the other X-Men tried to fight back their own tears and stay calm for Scott and the students who had been kidnapped, the tears still stung their eyes as the jet flew over the broken dam and Alkali Lake.
Rogue sat in her seat on the Blackbird as thoughts ran through her head. Oh my God! Jean's dead! The tears started to fall from Rogue's eyes. She's dead, and it's all my fault!
