Xavier's Rose

Author's note- Set just after the thrid movie and Xavier was only put into a comma not killed. He's woken up and is in the same condition as before, and Mystique and Magneto have just regained their powers but apart from that everything is what you would expect. (i hope). Oh Yeah and i love the silver magpies story! It's worth a read trust me...and we didn't copy each other before you even think it. We are just incrediably telepathic. Hope you enjoy it! Please read and review! Thank You!!! =]

P.S. J'ai perdu means i'm lost!

Chapter one- French lesson

Lily May Smith was doodling on the mock French reading paper she was supposed to be going through as the teacher at the front of the class spoke harshly. She continued to just draw in pointless ways, pushing her pen this way and that. Lily partly thought that the pen was doing it on its own and just leading her hand along its path. She moved her pen in a slightly swifter action like a painter does just as they brush the last stroke of a future classic and masterpiece. She also felt that amazing sense of accomplishment and smiled happily to herself.

Someone sat to her left nudged her arm and she was brought back to reality. She looked at the offender; it had been Keira, Lily's life long friend. Keira moved her eyes in the direction of Mr Jannas, the head of the French department and her teacher. He was dark haired and dark eyed. He was thirty something and was normally carefree and always willing to have a laugh but today he wasn't…it was two days before the exam and she had been doodling all over her paper.

Of course he's gonna be mad with me…I'm meant to be the only person in this class capable of an A…

She looked around the rest of the class; half of the kids had already taken study leave or were in exams…there were ten pairs of eyes trained on her. Some of the kids closest looked at her paper and were slightly perplexed at what they saw. One of them was Mark Ginsham and when he saw it he looked as if some one had told him his mother was dead. His sky blue eyes widened in horror and his already pale face turned so white Lily thought he'd died there and then. He turned around slowly and shook his head making his dark hair shake and cover his face.

She sighed and looked down at the paper in front of her. She studied what should have been incoherent scribbles but…they weren't, they were scenes from her dreams. A man in a wheel chair, another man with long claws extending from his knuckles and a woman with clouds surrounding head and no pupils, they all looked ready for a fight, even the guy in the wheel chair. She looked at what she had written underneath 'Xavier'. All of these drawings were done lightly making them seem nice and friendly...even with the expressions on their faces. Drawn on the other side of the paper was a man with a strange helmet on and woman with odd skin. She didn't know what colour it should have been but it wasn't any normal colour, she could tell that by the way she had unconsciously shaded her. These two people however had been drawn into the paper in a much darker way...they seemed dangerous and very nasty. And then she had drawn a bridge over them…it looked like that one in San Francisco.

Keira's kind brown eyes looked at the figures and her friend worriedly. She pushed her mahogany locks behind her ear that seemed pointless because her fringe covered the top part of her eyes anyway. She mouthed a silent, "Dreams?"

Lily nodded and turned to the page she was supposed to be on and tried to forget all about the dreams that had plagued her since over a year ago. They had gotten a lot stronger recently, now they were so strong she only ended up with two hours sleep a night. Her mother and father had told her it was stress but they had that knowing look on their faces that it was something more than stress. Lily had never dared told them her dreams, they probably send her to see a psychiatrist or stop her from going to college next year. She placed her head in her hands as she began to stress out.

I need to focus on my exams! I'm sixteen for hells sake! I shouldn't be worried about stupid nightmares anymore…

But however much she tried the words in front of her just seem to mould in to one, Mutants…

Why am I dreaming about this stuff? I mean mutants are dangerous…some of them are okay I guess but…after that attack last year…so many people died, and the bridge moved! I saw it on the new live feed on the internet! And all that water…whatever really happened on Alcatraz Island, there wasn't anything left!

She sighed hopelessly placing her elbow on the table and her chin on her hand and looked out of the window. The early summer weather was sunny and cool but she saw the wind kick up suddenly and it began to rain heavily and unceasingly.

Weather man's got it wrong again

She continued to watch the wind move more rain filled clouds above them and Mr Jannas cleared his throat in a deliberate attempt to get her attention and she turned her evaporating concentration to the foreign words that stared up blankly from the white piece of paper. He was getting angier than Lily thought it was possible...he was starting to give her the evil eye.

J'ai perdu…how true…
