Author's Note:
Hey guys. So far my new X-Men story Deceived has only two chapters. Though, no need to fear. I'll still be writing more.
Anyways I thought of this idea right after I posted the Deceived story and now I'm just so ready to write it.
The cast will still be the same.
Enjoy. :3
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men: The Movie. It belongs to Twentieth Century Fox but I do own my OCs.
It was a nice and peaceful night at Cheyenne's house, which is the house that Jean Grey grew up in.
The sky was clear of clouds and the stars were twinkling and shining in the twilight, silent night.
The moon tonight was a fabulous sight. So beautiful and full.
Everything was quiet in the neighborhood.
In one of the bedrooms in the house, a girl was lying quietly in bed, sleeping peacefully.
It was Logan's sister Cheyenne.
Her breathing was calm and steady but, as the long night dragged on, something began to happen to her.
As she was sleeping, she was also tossing and turning, over and over again.
A white light began to flash before her eyes.
She looked into the white light and could see a glimpse of Storm and Logan.
It seemed like they were mad.
Storm's eyes were white and her hands were crackling with lightning.
Cheyenne then looked at her brother Logan.
His claws were unsheathed and he was looking directly at the young girl.
"What… What do you want with me?" She asked as she looked at the two.
Storm and Logan looked at each other.
Logan nodded his head yes silently and the two looked back at Cheyenne.
"You're betraying us! You're running a group without our permission!" Storm said as they looked at her.
"But...this group helps support X-Men!" Cheyenne said as she looked at her and Logan.
Logan growled at her.
"No matter! The X-Men doesn't need support. Right, Storm?" He said as he was now looking at Storm.
Storm chuckled.
"Make her pay, Logan!" She said as she looked at him.
Logan chuckled and got ready to charge right at Cheyenne.
"With pleasure!" He said as he began to charge.
In reality…
When Cheyenne couldn't take it anymore, she unsheathed her claws and screamed.
The white light had begun to disappear.
She was now awakening in darkness.
As she was trying to get out of bed, she noticed that her claws were caught in the mattress.
She now began to let her claws retract, causing them to go back into her hands.
Her claws were free and she could get out of bed and turn her bedroom light on.
Her ears perked up and she stood in the light, silently.
She could hear footsteps coming to the bedroom.
When she looked away from the light and towards the doorway, she saw her mother Nikki.
Nikki looked exactly like Cheyenne except that she didn't have a scar underneath her chin and she was wearing glasses.
"Cheyenne, are you okay? What happened?" She asked, concerned as she saw Cheyenne's face turn white as a ghost.
Just as Cheyenne was about to speak, the white light began to take over and she saw where this first left off.
She now saw Logan charging at her, with his claws unsheathed and ready to cut.
Cheyenne fell backwards and was now on the floor.
…..
Nikki couldn't believe what she was seeing.
One minute, she saw that Cheyenne was fine and then the next, she saw that Cheyenne was looking pale.
She ran over to her.
Cheyenne was on the floor, trying to regather her thoughts when she heard footsteps approaching her.
She sniffed the air.
It smelled like water lilies and cherry blossoms.
Cheyenne rubbed her eyes and saw her mother looking at her.
"Mom, what's happening to me?" She asked, worried as Nikki was helping her get up back onto her feet.
Nikki wished that she could tell her what was wrong but, she wasn't for sure how to put it.
She then remembered seeing her daughter's face so puffed up from a hay field but this time, it wasn't hay fever.
"Come, Cheyenne. Let's get you back into bed. I'll go get the thermometer." Nikki said as she began to help Cheyenne walk back over to her bed.
Cheyenne sighed in relief as she got back into bed.
Maybe he won't hurt me while I'm bed. Damn...Why is it so fucking hot?! The young girl said to herself as she began to get comfortable.
Nikki then began to leave the room to go get the thermometer.
…..
As Cheyenne was in bed, waiting patiently for her mother to get back, she heard a loud CREAK, a loud SNAP and then a loud SLASH.
It was now silent all of a sudden.
Her ears perked up and twitched.
"Mom?" She said, worried.
Then, after a few minutes of silence, she began to sniff the air.
The smell of water lilies and cherry blossoms weren't so far away.
Cheyenne sighed in relief.
She began to fan herself.
Damn! Why is it so fucking hot?! Ughhhhhh! I can't stand this! I have to get out! I need fresh air dammit! She said to herself as she now got out of bed and begun to head over to the window.
Cheyenne went over to the window and was just about to open it when she began to feel lightheaded all of a sudden.
She opened the window the best that she could, letting a draft of cool wind come through.
She left the window cracked and went back over to her bed.
Just as she was getting back into bed, the window blew open on its own.
What the fuck's going on?! She said to herself as the heat began to get intense and the wind trying to overcome it.
Another white light was coming and this time, she wasn't for sure if she was going to get out of it.
….
Nikki came back with the thermometer and just when she entered the room, she saw Cheyenne on the floor, crying and begging on her knees.
She went over to her and kneeled down beside her.
She placed her hand on the young girl's shoulder.
"Cheyenne, what's wrong, my baby?" Nikki said as she looked at her and pulled her close.
Cheyenne began to feel darkness closing in around her.
The flames were getting higher and higher, hotter and hotter as the darkness was closing in fast.
She could hear a voice in the darkness.
She looked up and saw her mother.
"Mom, please tell Storm and Logan to leave. They're wanting to kill me. I betrayed them and I'm sorry." Cheyenne said as she began to come out of the darkness.
Nikki looked around the room.
There was no sign of Logan nor Storm.
She then looked back at Cheyenne.
"Baby, what are you talking about? Your brother and Storm are not here." Nikki said as she was trying to comfort the young girl.
Cheyenne looked at Nikki, with a pale look on her face.
"They are right here beside me. Don't you see them, Mom?" She said as she looked at the older woman.
Nikki looked at the window and then at Cheyenne, concerned.
The window was cracked a little bit.
"Come on, Cheyenne. Let's check your temperature." Nikki said as she helped her up and the two went over to where Cheyenne's bed was.
Cheyenne sat down on the bed and looked at her mother as she was getting the thermometer ready.
"Open up, my baby." Nikki said as she was now inserting the thermometer into the young girl's mouth.
The young girl did as her mother asked.
A few minutes after the thermometer was in Cheyenne's mouth, it began to beep three times.
Nikki took it out of her mouth and looked at it.
The temperature read 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cheyenne began to lay down in bed.
"What's going on, Mom?" She asked, groggily.
Nikki looked at her, concerned.
"My baby...my blue butt baby has a fever." She said as she began to kneel right beside Cheyenne and stroke her hair.
Cheyenne's eyes began to well up with tears.
Nikki began to hug her.
"It'll be alright, my baby. You can stay home tomorrow and I can have Storm and your brother to come and see you, if you like." She said as she was comforting Cheyenne.
Cheyenne looked at her and nodded her head yes silently.
Nikki smiled at her and got up.
"I'll go call Charles and tell him that you're sick. Okay, my baby?" She said as she began to leave the room.
"Alright, Mom." Cheyenne said as she looked at Nikki, worried.
Just as soon as Nikki left to go call Charles, Cheyenne laid down on her bed and looked up at the ceiling.
Lord, if you hear me, please let my friend Rogue know that I'm not going to be there tomorrow, due to this. Please tell Storm and Logan that I'm sorry for gathering a secret mutant organization without their permission. Tell them I love them and… In your son's name I pray...Amen. She said to herself as she now began to settle down and fall asleep.
(So...Cheyenne has had one too many hot flashes and it's all because she has a very high fever. Cast: Hugh Jackman as Logan/ Wolverine, Halle Berry as Oro Monroe/ Storm, Anna Paquin as Marie/ Rogue and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/ Professor X. Stay tuned for chapter two.)
