Nightmare Chapter Fourteen: Invasion
"Sarah, you have to calm down you're freaking out," Rouge harshly whispered. But Sarah did not hear her, could not hear her. She only saw her nightmare being played out. Her eyes panned across the room where she was being held. She was in one of the elaborate classrooms she had attended for the past couple years. There were others with her almost all students. The only teacher was Storm. Sarah hoped she was not the only one left.
After the months of not being believed, she was right. They came in the night in secret. Only the Wolverine had believed her. The Professor had created an emergency evacuation protocol, but he still trusted the humans. He gave them far more trust than they warranted. Now his beautiful brain was spattered on the wall of his office never to think another kind, gentle, or brilliant thought again. But how was he to know that those who planned the attack had telepathy proofed all their intensions. But his emergency plans were not in vain. Kitty and Nightcrawler had smuggled out as many as they could including Laura, until a bullet nicked Kitty's shoulder. Jean and Scott became Swiss cheese defending the school. Pete and Logan were bullet proof though. They had to be gassed and blown up. Neither of them would crack though. So then Sarah had to sit on the floor hearing all sorts of explosives go off trying to kill her friends. In the room with her were the students who could did not leave. Bobby was being welled restrained. John was taken out with the school fire extinguishers. Before they thought to do that though one of the soldiers shot him in the leg. His pathetic groans of pain were the only sound in the room.
Guarding them were the "brothers" that Caballero spoke about; the poor of the country. The only ones desperate enough to become America's finest. The people that Sarah was told every November and every May were over seas dying for her freedom. But soldiers don't die for freedom; they die for rich white humans.
Sarah couldn't handle this. She had grown to fear rowdy kids and authority because of what had happened before she came to the school. Now rowdy kids with authority were holding her at gunpoint. She shook uncontrollably on the floor. She was dressed heavily; sweat pants, tee shirt, robe, socks. Sarah had taken to sleeping like that ever since she woke in the middle of the night and envisioned what was happening at that moment except she was wearing nothing but her fur. One of the armed kids noticed Sarah's erratic behavior. He pointed his assault rifle at her and shouted, "Stop moving." He did not have a man's voice like the soldiers in the movies. He had the smooth voice of a boy.
One of the other soldiers saw what was happening in the story. "Whoa, what are you doing?"
"I heard some of the real ugly ones can do some crazy shit."
The other one looked down at Sarah and said, "Hey, what can you do?" Sarah felt like something inside her was going to explode. He touched her with the barrel of his gun and repeated the question. Sarah could not find words she just started crying.
Storm answered for her, "She can't do any thing unless she glows."
"What happens if she glows?"
"Its not lethal."
The first soldier thought it over, "If she glows shoot her."
