The next chapter of The Nightmares From Hell.
It was around 12:32 am, Jackal was walking around upstairs, checking each of the rooms. He finally comes to Rogue and Shadowcat's room. He gently opens the door a little, to which he finds Shadowcat sleeping in her bed. He then looks over towards Rogue's bed, only to be horrified. He sees Rogue hovering over her bed, making choking noises.
"ANNA!" Jackal yells, as he charges into the room. Before he could reach her, a hand with a glove that had four blades attached to it bursts through her chest.
"NOOOOO!" Jackal roars, waking up. He finds himself back in his room in the basement. Sweat pours down his face. He gets out of bed and grabs his coat and boots. A few minutes later, Jackal finds himself upstairs in front of Rogue and Shadowcat's door. He gently opens it and looks around inside. He finds both Rogue and Shadowcat asleep in their beds. Both seemed very peaceful. Jackal sighed, then closed the door back. He then made his way downstairs. Wolverine was in the livingroom, watching some TV. His attention soon turns to Jackal, who was making his way towards the door.
"Where are you goin?" Wolverine questions.
"Out." Jackal answers, then walks out the door.
Spyke laid in his bed upstairs, reading a magazine. On the nightstand next to his bed was a pill and a glass of water that Rogue had given him.
"Evan." says a voice. Spyke looked up from his magazine, only to find a surprising sight. Storm stood in front of his bed.
"Aunt Ro?" Spyke questions. Storm looks around at Spykes side of the room, finding it to be very messy.
"I can't believe anyone could live in a room like this." Storm states, "Why not keep your haft of the room clean like Kurt's?"
"What are you doing here?" Spyke questions, still confused.
"I guess Adrian and Logan didn't tell you." Storm say, "I'm here to take you back to the mansion." Spyke was a little surprised by this. "I don't want you anywhere near this town." Storm explains.
"Why?" Spyke replies, "Do you think I'm not strong enough to take on this Freddy guy?"
"Evan, it's not that." Storm says, "I just don't want anything to happen to you."
"But I'm not in that much danger." Spyke informs, "Look, Anna got these pills..."
"Oh, I've heard of these pills, Evan." Storm replies, "Adrian told me everything about them and how they're not FDA approved. Those could be dangerous. Now, get your things packed so we can leave."
"But what about the others?" Evan questions.
"I'm trying to convince the Professor to pull the plug on the mission." Storm answers, "They'll be returning soon. So, please, get your belongings packed so we may go." Spyke sighs, then pulls a few dufflebags out from under his bed. A few minutes later, Spyke and Storm exits his and Nightcrawler's room. The two make their way down the hall.
"Shouldn't I at least say goodbye to the others?" Spyke questions.
"You can call them and tell them, we have to go now." Storm answers. Spyke was a little confused, but just continues to walk. As he passes by a clock on the wall, he notices a reflection in it. Instead of seeing himself with Storm behind him, he sees a figure in a red and green striped sweater. Shocked, Spyke quickly turns around, only to see Storn rearing her right hand back, which now had a glove with four blades attached on it. Spyke quickly dodges a swipe from Storm, then fires a spike-like projectile into her stomach. "AAAHH!" Storm cries, as she stumbles back. Spyke starts to back away slowly. Storm looks up at him and smiles, now showing a burnt face. Storm then grabs Spyke by the neck and flings him down the stairs. Spyke falls until he reaches the bottom.
"Uuuhhh!" Spyke moans in pain. He soon looks up, only to find himself in some kind of boiler room. He sees a booted foot step in front of him. Spyke then looks up to see a man with burnt skin, a brown fedora, a green and red striped sweater, and the same glove on his had that he saw Storm wear.
"Welcome to my world, bitch." the man says, "The name's Freddy, but I'm sure you already know that." Spyke starts to slowly rise back to his feet, then stumbles backward in fear. "Looks like someone forgot to take his medication." Freddy comments, then holds up his gloved hand. He then grabs Spyke's wrist with his other hand. "AAAHH!" Freddy roars, then removes his other hand. He sees a bunch of spikes sticking out of Spyke's wrist. Spyke punches Freddy, then kicks him back. Spyke then launches more spikes out all over his body. Freddy rubs his face, then looks at Spyke.
"Let's see what you've got!" Spyke says, launching two more large pikes out of his wrists. Freddy charges at him and swipes, but Spyke manage to block the blades with one of his wrist spikes. He then tries to stab Freddy with his other one, but Freddy grabs his arm. He then kicks Spyke away and tries to stabs him with his claws, but Spyke blocks it again. Spyke manages to stab Freddy in the chest, but Freddy just smiles. Freddy grabs his arm and pulls it from his chest, then flings Spyke over his head. Spyke hits a few rusty pipes on his way down, causing one of his spikes to cut a hole in it. A large amount of steam pours from the pipe, filling the entire area. Spyke makes it back to his feet, only to find himself struggling to see what's in front of him. He searches all around his body, making sure Freddy wasn't sneaking up on him. A few moments pass. "Where are you!" Spyke demands to know.
"Right here." a raspy voice replies from behind Spyke. Spyke turns around, only to receive a fist to the face. Spyke stumbles back, then looks to see Freddy standing in front of him. He takes quick notice of some large blades growing all over Freddy's body. "Kind of like the look." Freddy states. Another glove appears on Freddy's other hand. Spyke was in complete shock, to which Freddy smiles. He then tries to swipe at Spyke, who manages to dodge. Spyke tries to stab Freddy, but he avoids it and tries to swipe again. Freddy manages to slash a gash into Spyke's chest, then tries to stab him. Spyke dodges it, then stabs Freddy in the stomach. Freddy kicks Spyke back, then punches him and tries to swipe him again. Spyke grabs Freddy's arm and flings him into the pipe covered wall. Spyke tries to stab Freddy, but he ducks under it, causing the spike to pierce a pipe. Hot steam spews from the pipe into Spyke's face.
"AAAAHH!" Spyke cries in pain. Freddy knees him in the stomach, then punches in the face, sending him to the ground.
"Heh, you're a pussy." Freddy says, "I've had worse than that." Spyke spits out some blood. He then hears a lot of foot steps. He looks up to find a surprising sight. He sees all the other mutants running through the boiler room.
"GUYS!" Spyke yells, trying to get the groups attention, "HELP!" Shadowcat stops in her tracks and looks over to see Spyke. Rogue, Cyclops, and Jean stop as well.
"Why should we help you?" Cyclops questions, "You weren't willing to be a team player, so why should we?" Spyke looked completely shocked by this.
"GUYS, PLEASE!" Spyke begs, "I thought you were my friends!"
"Well, I guess you thought wrong." Jean replies. The four then rush off to join the rest. Spyke couldn't even speak.
"FUCK YOU!" Spyke yells, completely enraged, "YOU FUCKING TRAITORS!" All of a sudden, he's flipped over onto his back. Freddy stands over him, now in his normal form. He grabs Spyke by the neck and rears his claws back.
"Guess your friends aren't comin to save you." Freddy says, "Too bad. Guess I get to have a little more fun." Freddy then brings the claws down.
Spyke wakes up, finding himself back in his room. He looks over to see Nightcrawler, who was asleep in his bed. Anger starts to fill Spyke's body as he remembers what had just happened. He then looks down to see his wounded chest. Spikes start to curl around the wound, ceiling it shut. Spyke gets out of his bed and pulls out two dufflebags.
Jackal walks down a sidewalk. His body was soaked from the pouring rain, but he didn't seem to care. He starts to hum a tune, until he comes to a stop in front of an off white house. Jackal checks his watch, finding the time to be 1:24 am. To Jackal's surprise, the lights in the house were still on. Jackal strolls up to the front door. Jackal rings the doorbell. A young women answers the door.
"Can I help you?" the woman questions, a little nervous from the sight of Jackal.
Spyke sits a folded up piece of paper on his nightstand. He then picks up his dufflebag's and leaves the room. Once downstairs, he sees a sleeping Wolverine on the couch. He opens the door, then stops. He looks around the house one last time. He then leaves the house.
