As the sun rose in the morning, the brilliant beams of light fell onto the mansion occupied by mutants of all kinds. Everyone was waking up and preparing for the day ahead, except for one young girl. She simply rolled around in her sleep, her eyes quickly jumping around from behind her eyelids. Kitty and Rogue, her roommates, both rose and dressed for the workout with Scott before realizing Daniela hadn't budged from her bed. Kitty looked at the watch she was wearing, before walking over to the large human lump under the sheets. She gently shook Daniela's shoulder, but when Daniela didn't stir, Kitty shook her a little harder.

"Like, come on Daniela. We have a Danger Room Session in, like, ten minutes, and if you don't get up, we're going to be late." Daniela let out a little groan, but didn't move. If anything, she pulled up the covers further then they already were.

Kitty looked down at one of her best friends with concern before looking at her other best friend. Rogue's eyes searched for some reassuring hint that Daniela was just tired, but none came. Daniela had her back to them; her body covered by the blankets, and wasn't speaking to them. Kitty tried to get her up. She shook Daniela lightly by the shoulder again, before speaking softly, like she would to a three year old, "Like, Daniela, you need to get up now. You're, like, scaring us a little." Daniela seemed oblivious to the touch because she didn't move.

Rogue stepped up to take a shot. "Daniela, yah need ta get up now." But instead of answering Rogue, Daniela started muttering, "No, not them. Leave them out of this. They aren't what you want, I am." Daniela went silent, but her breathes quickened, like she was running a long distance, but it was only a few minutes before she let out a cry of pain. She was quiet again, which scared Kitty. Kitty took both of Daniela's shoulders now, and began to frantically shake Daniela. The blanket slowly began to slip from Daniela's figure. When it dropped completely to the floor, Kitty let out a loud scream and Rogue ran as fast as she could to find the professor.

It only took seconds before Logan was running, with Daniela in his arms, to the infirmary. At first Daniela was trying her hardest to fight him off. She had succeeded for a long time, but she couldn't manage to fight the two people off. She finally gave into Logan's attempts, but continued to fight of the monster that was now attacking her dreams. Logan didn't have trouble exiting the room; because once everyone saw her condition they pressed themselves against the walls, out of Logan's way. About mid-way, Daniela started violently shaking. She nearly slipped from his arms a few times, but he held her tight, and increased his speed. As he ran, he couldn't help feel the pain screaming in his ears. Here he was, the man who could heal so quickly, watching someone he considered a daughter, dieing, being ripped from life from the inside. Seconds before Logan reached the room, Daniela stopped shaking, but what scared Logan was that she stopped muttering. Even though she was in much pain, it was the only way to be sure she was alive. Now the silence was murder. He looked down into her face. It was usually filled with color. Sometimes even a slight blush would dance across her cheeks, but now she was pale. So pale, and she seemed hallow, like an empty shell. Almost like there was nothing in her anymore. 'No!' Logan refused to think about that. 'She'll be fine. She will smile and laugh again. She'll complain and throw a fit about little things.'

It seemed like hours to him when he finally reached the infirmary, but everything was already set. (Apparently, a little girl who could walk through walls took no expense in running a straight line to the bay. She ran through people's room, in order to tell Hank to be ready.) Hank, the medical doctor, was standing among Jean Grey and Professor Xavier, all waiting next to an empty medical bed. Kitty and Rogue were already in there, relaying the story from the morning to them. Logan was putting Daniela down gently on the bed, when he noticed he was beginning to shake in fear.

Logan, along with everyone else, was forced to wait in the hallway for any information about Daniela's condition. Jean was the first to come out of the bay. Jean tried to return but Hank had shut the door. Logan quickly approached her. "Where is she? Is she ok? What's happening to her?" Logan wanted all of his questions answered, but Jean couldn't give them to him. "We don't know what's happening to her. Whatever it is, is causing physical damage. She also isn't responding to reality, something, most likely not the same thing, is preventing her from waking up."

She could see the pain this was causing him. She, herself, couldn't bare it. Even though Daniela and she aren't the best of friends, there were times when Daniela would poke into Jean's room to ask for help, or when Daniela would wander into the kitchen to ask Jean if she wanted help making dinner. When Jean turned to the others, she tried to give them a comforting smile, but they all saw through it. Her eyes were brimming with tears, but she forced herself to say, "I know you don't want to, but it's still a school day. You all need to attend." There were angry shouts everywhere, but it was Logan who spoke this time. "Leave. You don't need to be here," he looked up, as if his worst fear was standing in front of him, "when those doors open." No one dared to question him, they all made their way sadly back to their room.

Nothing was said the entire way, but the occasional sob would escape Jean or Kitty. Everyone thought the same thing, about their own interactions with Daniela. Nobody made to get out of the car when it pulled into the parking lot, but eventually they all got out at the sound of the bell. As they each dragged their feet in the direction of their class, they got many curious glances, but none of them cared at all.

The classes seemed to drag on, and the teachers would drown on. Kitty, Kurt, Rogue and the others weren't bothering to take notes like usual, they just sat there, watching as the clock ticked on. The clock seemed to be mocking them, like it knew what was happening, and purposely tried to keep then in the concrete prison. Finally, after two classes, lunch rolled around, which marked the halfway point in their classes. The X-Men sat at their usual table; nobody seemed to want to eat much though. This was just another class in their way to get home, but this was the first class in which they finally spoke.

"She'll be alright." Kitty muttered, staring down at her feet.

"I don't know. You didn't see her." Jean spoke up, now on the verge of tears again.

Kitty looked up. How could she say that? "That wasn't a question. It was a statement."

Jean looked up, no longer able to hold back the tears. "I'm just trying to keep everyone's minds open to what could happen, so it won't be a surprise."

Kurt's human face paled slightly as he thought about a previous day when everyone, including Daniela, were sitting around this very table, smiling and laughing cheerfully. Nothing dared to plague them then, but now it was haunting there waking moments. None of them had thought they would be thinking of a loss this great.

Toad was the first to interrupt their thoughts. "Hey, Daniela wasn't in class, yo. Where is she?" Nobody could speak in fear of getting sick. Toad just looked into one set of eyes after another. After a long silence, Pietro ran over. "So, Toad, where is she." Toad didn't look at him, but was busy looking into Kitty's eyes, then into Kurt's. "I think something is wrong."

Pietro's usual look faded from his face to be replaced by a hallow look as he searched and received from everyone a silent confirmation. Jean couldn't even attempt to speak, so she re-laid a telepathic message to Pietro. 'Something is wrong with Daniela. This morning Kitty and Rogue found Daniela in an unusual sort of pain. She was rushed to the infirmary…. I didn't tell the others, but she was barely alive then. And the Professor and Hank are pumping her stomach, in order to check for poisons or drugs of some sort.'

Pietro just stood there, in total shock. Unlike the others, he hadn't seen her, so he waited for her to jump around the corner and yell out "Got Ya!" but that never came. The lack of feeling crept into his body. Eventually, he was telling his body to run, to go to her house and see her in bed with a minor cold, but it was like he was ordering another person. He couldn't move an inch. He stood there, not knowing what to do.
