Chapter 3- Sleepless

Ororo tossed and turned in her sleep, unable to find calm. Suddenly there was a crack of lightning as she stood up and grabbed her dressing gown. She went over to her balcony doors, which swung open with the force of the wind outside. She hugged herself as she felt the cold breeze ruffle past her; she walked out onto the rain soaked balcony. There she stood for a whole ten minutes, just watching the rain pour onto her skin, watching the beauty of the lightening dance amongst the clouds. It was here Storm felt at peace, amongst nature. She tried to smile, but could not as she felt sad, something was not right. The breeze was rough and irregular, the lightning was violent, and something was unbalanced in nature. Storm raised herself off the balcony with her powers and flew into the clouds, unsure of what this disturbance was, and what was causing it. The air felt strange to her, the usual calm Storm felt amongst the clouds vanished as a bolt of lighting flashed before her, narrowly missing her. She looked around feeling another presence here, it was then she heard a loud crack, and next thing she knew she was plummeting to the ground, into oblivion. Storm closed her eyes expecting to feel the ground beneath her as she hit it with immense G-force any moment, how ever it never came. She opened her eyes, but only found darkness, she looked around wildly, fear kicking in. She was enclosed in something; all she could see was the dark of nothingness. Storm yelled and shouted, calling out for any one, her greatest phobia, terrifying her to the edge of life.

Storm sat up abruptly, breathing heavily, her face moist with sweat. Her room glowed with a sudden sheet of lightening promptly followed by the usual crack of thunder. She looked around her room, to find everything in place, nothing out of the ordinary. Storm sighed and lay back in her bed. Shivering slightly at the sudden coldness of her room.

"Thank goddess, just a dream." Still disturbed by her unusual and life like dream, Storm could not go back to sleep. So she stood up and walked over to her dressing table, turning on her little lamp. She grabbed her white silken dressing gown that was positioned on her chair and placed it on. Storm then noticed her balcony doors were wide open. 'That's strange I recall closing them, must have been the wind', the doors let an eerie chill in her room, which again made Storm shiver. It reminded her a lot of her dream, or rather nightmare. She closed the doors and hugged her dressing gown around her body. She looked over at her clock which read 03.47AM,The rain poured down harder, as Storm sighed, she couldn't sleep now, So decided to head downstairs to the kitchen.

As she walked past the Rec room, she noticed the lights were on. She walked into the room to find Logan playing snooker.

"Couldn't sleep darlin'?" Logan asked, his glare not moving from the snooker table.

"No, I had the most unusual dream, which woke me up." Storm admitted, Logan looked at Storm.

"Oh yea, about what?" Logan asked, gaze returning to the table as he potted the pink ball.

"I can't really explain, but it was so real. What about you? Your up earlier than usual."

"Woken up by the Storm, which come to mention, has been going on for a couple of days. Now I know that you wouldn't be this upset over Kurt and Evans stupid prank. Summit up Ro?" Logan asked after potting the black.

"I don't know, Mother nature just feels… inconsistent."

"What d'ya mean?" Logan asked looking worriedly at her.

"Oh, I don't know, it's probably me just being silly. It's just something doesn't feel right. The air…it's altered." Storm replied thinking of the right words to use.

"Altered?"

"Yes… it's not balanced; I'm not the only one creating this storm."

" Not the only one? Well who else is?"

"I do not know, but something else is changing the weather."

"Ok Ro, I think you've been watching too many movies, why don't ya go back to bed, the sleep might do ya some good." Logan laughed.

"I think your right, goodnight Logan" Ororo replied smiling, hoping he was right.

"Night darlin'" Logan replied as he watched the retreating figure of Storm.

Hehe ok peoples what ya think? Sorry for lack of humour here I figured I wanted a lil cut scene, just to help along with the main plot, hehe can you guess the villain of the story yet? If not, never fear all will be revealed in the next few chappies, sorry this is so short, but I'm just about to write the following chapter, which goes back to the other plot,lol oh plots man, so many.

Anyway Shout outs!

Flamable- hehe yes it was rather unusual for rogue to help them out. But I figure Rogues, not evil, and she realizes people make mistakes and such, and so is willing to forgive. Yea I needed to add another prankster into my story, hehe the evil trio. So Bobby fitted perfectly. Hehe flood the mansion, not a bad idea, hehe could be very funny, I shall consider that now, hehe, perhaps put in next chappy! Thanks for reviewing!

addtothenoise- hehe make it worse, perhaps, you'll just have to find out hehe shall be revealed in next 2 chappies, after all, ya need a disaster before equilibrium! Thank you for reviewing is really appreciated. You're the one who made me decide to keep this story alive, so people should thank you for it really.lol

Anyway I hope you like it,
