Chapter 3:
The End.
Madison awoke particularly late the next day, probably because she couldn't fall asleep until 12. She was going to be late for class that day.
She sat up, rubbing her eyes. She was hesitant to go back to class, she didn't want the girls in her class to gang up on her; make fun of her.
Madison took a deep breath, 'I can do this.' She told herself and got up.
She pulled a shirt over her head; the shirt was blue with a star in the middle. Her pants were black jeans with torn knee holes. Her socks were ankle socks and her shoes slip-ons. She grabbed her backpack and slipped out the door.
She walked to Storm's classroom and opened the door.
The girls glared at her, with rage on their faces. Madison ignored them and sat down at her desk.
Storm handed out worksheets and study books, "Read chapter 4 and finish the worksheet."
Madison fingered through the pages, she read quickly and had no trouble answering the questions. She pulled out a book she'd been reading for some time now about a murder in Japan and the detectives working on finding out who did it.
Storm picked the worksheets and study books up, "Alright, 20 minute break. Be back here and Iceman's class will start."
Madison got up and walked down the stairs and stepped out the door; she was going to the fountain in the garden.
She walked slowly, admiring the surroundings.
"HEY!" Brenda's voice rang.
Madison turned around just in time to get a fist to the face, she fell onto the ground.
She looked up to see Chester standing over her.
"Beat her up good, Chester." Brenda said sinfully.
"Nobody yells at my girl like you did. I'm gonna teach you not to mess with her." Chester said, his fist turning into a crystal spike.
Madison couldn't focus, it all happened too fast. She dodged a few punches, but that wouldn't last long, she was no good in combat training.
Everything went quiet, just like watching a movie with the mute enabled. Madison stumbled backwards, trying to get away.
She could see Brenda's face contorted into a devious smile.
"What's going on here?!" She saw Storm mouth the words.
Madison felt a sharp throbbing pain in her stomach.
She moved her hand to try and make it stop. She lifted her hand back up to her face when it was wet; her hand was drenched in blood.
"W…Wha?" Madison said but couldn't hear herself speak.
Chester was being tugged back into the school along with Brenda by Storm.
Madison blinked hard; everything went so quickly, she wasn't sure what had happened.
Her brow tensed and she saw a faint blue figure that lifted her up, she felt warm while the blue character carried her.
Watched people around her trying to help, she started feeling it difficult to breathe. Soon she couldn't breathe any longer.
She accepted it; she didn't panic when nothing but blood entered her lungs.
She closed her eyes and felt a fuzzy feeling in her heart…
Hank was hurt the deepest, he had watched her pass; her eyes close and her flesh go cold.
Her wrist slacked and people stared at the lifeless body.
She died painlessly, and was no longer a student at Xavier's school; but a lesson.
They had a statue of her in the garden. Under the statue read;
She was loved by
many.
Now she will be known as a Goddess of empathy.
We miss
you,
Madison Emily Saunten.
