Chapter 1

Um i dont remember how many year later but they're like 16 years old now. ok :) ok and just so you no the xmen in this story is taken from x men evolution cause its awesome!!!

The two twin sisters had successfully avoided the school for a number of years and had grown up to become almost normal teenagers. Apart from the fact that they had wings sprouting from their backs and supernatural powers, not to mention they attended a school for mutants. The two girls were strolling down a main street of town waiting for Scott to pick them up after their day of shopping. But apparently he had forgotten to - again. Trinity sighed.

We should just start walking back ourselves, she sent a silent message to Raven.

Raven hadn't heard her though. She was preoccupied scanning the crowd. It wasn't every day that she picked up on another mind reader. Raven quickly blocked her thoughts, which was easy, the other mind reader wasn't nearly as powerful as she was.

"Raven?" This time Trinity spoke out loud. Raven found the source.

"Come on." She pulled Trinity by the arm and dove into the crowd of the street. They were following a strange group of kids. Some of them were almost the twins' age and the rest of them were only kids. Raven had her sights set on the smallest girl.

Care to explain? Trinity's musical voice fluttered into Raven's thoughts.

Later.

They followed the group around the corner and down an alleyway.

"Hey!" Raven yelled when the group reached the end of the alleyway.

"What are you doing!" Trinity whispered fiercely.

The group spun around and were immediately ready for a fight.

It's okay... trust me, Trini.

"Yeah, you!" Raven yelled at them again and started walking towards them.

"What do you want?" the oldest, a girl, replied.

Raven didn't answer. She just studied each of the dirty faces watching her. Her gaze came to rest on the youngest child, a six-year-old girl with blonde curly hair and wide blue eyes. A smile spread across her face as she realised this little girl was the telepath trying to gain access to her thoughts. The three eldest of the group eyed her warily. Trinity walked up behind her sister and frowned at her sister.

Oh how I wish I knew what was going on in your head at times. She thought.

Raven ignored her sister and knelt down in front of the child.

"So, Angel, it seems that you and I are alike," she said to the child. Angel was slightly shocked for a moment then frowned at Raven. "You're in my head, but you won't let me in yours," she said accusingly.

"Angel, what's going on?" the oldest said.

"It's okay, Max," Raven answered, "We're all more alike then you realise."

Raven allowed Angel to search her mind, to see her past and her present.

"Wow, you really are like us," Angel whispered in amazement.

"Okay, Raven, I'm getting a little annoyed. I just want you to remember that we're not all mind readers," Trinity announced from directly behind Raven, giving Raven a start and causing her to jump slightly.

Raven quickly covered her shock and smiled towards Angel and the others.

"I think that there's a lot that we need to discuss," she began, "But I hardly believe that an alleyway is the place to do it. Why don't you come back home with us? That way at least you'll have a safe place to stay for the night."

The large group walked into Xavier's School for Gifted Children (or wateva) to see Scoot and Jean talking near the entrance. Scoot gasped upon seeing them.

"Um I was just coming to get you," he lied. Raven shot him a look of daggers.

"You're lucky I have more important issues to worry about right now than you."

"Are you going to introduce us to your new friends?" Jean asked.

"We need to see the professor right now." Raven and Jean had never really gotten along for as long as Trinity could remember. They continued into the mansion and found Professor Xavier and Storm in his office. The two were in a heated discussion and Trinity instantly knew that it was something that they wouldn't want any of the students to hear. She knocked loudly on the door and cleared her throat to make their presence known. The pair immediately ceased their argument and turned towards them.

"Ah, Raven. Trinity. Who are your friends?" the Professor asked.

"Professor," Raven began, "this is Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and the youngest one is Angel. They're.... they're from the school."

The room fell silent. When the Professor recovered he invited them into his office.

"This is a surprise. I was not aware that there were others that had.... escaped."

"Escaped? You mean you two are...."

Trinity nodded.

Introductions were made and the flock met some of the other students and were educated briefly on the lives of the mutants. But most importantly they were offered a safe place to live which seemed like an offer to go to pass up. However Max, being the paranoid person she was wasn't ready to accept at this point in time. The flock however did agree to stay the night.

Trinity sat cross-legged on her bed, staring at her sister. Raven slept peacefully in her own bed across the room in which the twins shared together. Trinity couldn't sleep - the ghosts were restless tonight. There was so much screaming. She rubbed her temples with her fingers. Most of the time the ghosts were quiet or Trinity was too occupied with something else to take much notice, but tonight.....

A little girl, no older than five years, huddled in the corner, crying while a woman writhed on the ground next to Trinity's bed screaming for mercy from whoever had killed her. They were all living the nightmares of their deaths. She could even hear the screams and cries of ghost throughout the mansion.

Suddenly, screaming out side her door stopped and there was an eerie silence from the ghosts nearby. Only the faint screams of the ghost in the floor above and below could be heard. Uncomfortable with the sudden silence, Trinity hopped off her bed and cautiously made her way to the door. As she placed her hand on the doorknob, an argument erupted from the other side of the door. They were ghost - she could sense it. Though on some occasions it was hard to distinguish ghost from actual living people as the line between the dead and living became thin at time, but usually she could feel it a mile away.

It sounded like two ghosts were fighting. It wasn't uncommon. Some ghosts only relived the horrors of their deaths, others were aware they were dead and talked to each other and even Trinity at times in general conversation and then there were some that were too lost to realise they were dead who continued to live out their daily lives. Trinity listened carefully to their voices. One sounded vaguely familiar. She turned the knob and slowly nudged the door open. There was no one in the hallway - dead or alive.

She followed the voices down the hallway and out into the living area, where one of the younger kids sat in front of the wide screen TV, flicking rapidly though the stations by blinking his eyes.

"Hey, Trinity," he greeted without straying his eyes from the TV.

Trinity didn't answer; she was too preoccupied. The ghosts crowding the living area were either on mute or watching her quietly, parting as she walked though the room. She reached another hallway and kept following the sound. The voices were coming from inside one of the guest bedrooms. She opened the door slowly.

The ghosts didn't notice her at first and continued on with their argument. She could understand what they were saying now. The argument was about something... no, someone. The man with a crazed look in his eye was trying to find someone and the other ghost was refusing to tell him where he or she was. The one refusing to disclose the location of this person looked familiar. She thought she might have seen him wandering the school at one time or the other. She felt her nose starting to tingle and she sneezed. Both ghosts spun around to face her. A sadistic smile spread across the crazed man's face.

"There you are."

Raven bolted upright in her bed, her heart beating a million miles an hour. It felt like she'd been struck by lightning. She knew something was wrong, but what? She glanced over to Trinity's bed and found it empty. She search for Trinity's mind - she found it, but it was nothing but a jumbled mess. Raven threw her covers off and bolted for the door.

Logan was woken by sobbing, The tortured sound dragged him from his heavy dreams and into reality. When he opened his eyes it was still dark. Probably just past midnight, he thought. He rolled onto his back and slowly sat up. The crying was close. He swung his feet to the ground and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hello?" he called out, but no one answered.

He sighed and pushed himself off the bed. He had only taken a few step when he found the source of the crying.

Trinity lay on her side curled up into a tight ball next to Logan's bedside table. Her eyes were tightly closed and she shook slightly.

"Trinity?" Logan said gently as he knelt down beside her. "Trinity, can you hear me? Look at me."

He pushed her hair out of her eyes and her eyes snapped open with his touch. Logan's heart stopped.

They were black.
