Hey Guys!

I'm so so so sorry that I haven't updated in forever.( aka, 3 or 4 weeks)

I was so busy and the times I could, I'm ashamed to admit but I was too lazy to.

Thanks so much to understanding!

On with the chapter!

They all left...

Charles Xavier stared at the empty wood hallway.

They all left...

Raven, now Mystic, left with Eric; who he considered to be his best friend despite the short time they were together. Alex and Sean followed suit to help with the war with Vietnam and Hank.

Poor, poor Hank McCoy died in one of his attempts to better Cerebro.

All this seemed to just resurface old, unwanted feelings from the past- a past Charles's rather remain forgotten.

*flashback*

Shrill screams filled the empty hallways; a blood-curdling and desperate sound. Red liquid dripped from a particular room. No one gave a glance.

This was all normal in the Xavier household. Two little boys trapped; one also a monster, another thinking he is but not.

Tragically, this was the life of one special Charles Xavier.

Ever since the man people call his stepfather and stepbrother invaded his house through his mother, they fired every staff and replaced them with people his stepfather paid (using his mother's money of course) to keep quiet about the torture and screaming.

* back to the present*

Why didn't his mother do anything?

Well, what can a poor woman do when her son is being tortured by the man and other son whom supposedly love her? Apparently nothing. It's not like she tried.

Shrugging it all off with some alcohol was her solution. It's not like she cared a f***.

Lonely, Charles walked to his room, loud footsteps echoing down the hall.

Might as well try to sleep...

Unsurprising, Charles's sleep was full of nightmares.

I am so so so sorry I haven't updated like I said on the top. I am also sorry about how short this chapter is. It's just that I need to keep the action for next time.

I know it has been awhile but thanks so much for the follows GriffenFlare and thanks for the support some of you have given me.

I will try to update sooner next time, promise!

See ya next time! :)
