Chapter 6: Fear
Brennan was terrified. He tried to calm down Ferals loved fear that thrived on it. Just calm down. He thought he sensed movement and moved as quickly and quietly as possible away. Frowning he tried to get control of his heart rate before his heart exploded out of his chest.
Emma sensed Brennan's fear it was like a knife threw the heart it shocked her and she stopped breathing for a second. She stopped walking and sat down.
"Emma what are you doing?" Shalimar asked.
"I'm going to help Brennan you two go ahead I'll catch up later."
They nodded and made their way down the stairs to the room. Emma constrained trying to find Brennan then she found him. She felt his mind melt into hers and then they were drifting together on clouds.
"Emma?"
"Hey Brennan." She smiled. "I'm going to help you calm down." Then before he could say anything she shot images of birds flying and rivers and lakes and anything else that were calming. His heart rate dropped and soon it was normal again.
"I have to leave now."
"Why? I need your help. I can't do this on my own."
"Yes you can. Your strong Brennan Jesse and Shal, are on their way to you try and make it to the front door." And with that she withdrew from his mind.
* Shalimar hated other ferals. The smell the way they invaded her space everything about them was like a horrible dream. She could never image working with one. Growling she quickly flew down the steps catching the occasion smell of Brennan. Reaching the door she slipped in. The smell of another feral overwhelmed her. She crouched in a defensive position her eyes flashing she walked around the apartment. She smelt Jesse enter. He keep out of her way not wanting to invade her space. Good little boy. She thought. You don't want to be by me right now.
* Amelia frowned smelling 2 mutant x team members in the room along with Brennan. A fourth was on the stairs near the roof. Smelling the air she could tell there had been another women here she wasn't sure if she was a mutant Amelia guessed she was. She preferred to play with her prey but with so many possible threats she got down to work. She had to find him, not only was her live on the line but so was her brothers.
*
Brennan was frozen with panic. He knew the assassin wouldn't stop till she got what she had came for and right know that would be him. He creep out of his hiding place. Staying with the wall he swiftly moved towards the front door. He spotted Jesse and sprinted forward.
"Where's Shal? We got to get out of here."
"Chill out, man it's only one mutant we can handle this easily."
"No, we can't. She's powerful like superman powerful."
"Why what's her powers?"
"I don't know man but from what I heard Eckhart's scared of her. So she must be a badass chick. I'll explain later can we just go?" Brennan asked.
Jesse nodded. "Let's get Shal, and get out."
"I'll do it you go get the jet ready." Jesse nodded once more then turn and left while Brennan walked back into the lion's den.
*
Emma felt so many emotions she thought her head would explode. She had everyday emotion, greed, anger, envy, happiness, sadness, plus there were so many more but then she picked out 4 distinct emotion radiating off of 4 people which had to be the to her mutants she strong hit from them. She felt fear, absolute hatred, extreme worry or grief and happiness bordering on bliss.
She got up and stumbled towards the jet firing up the engine up. Sitting back, waiting for the others.
*
Shalimar sensed Jesse leaving and Brennan moving around in the room. There were so many scents it confused her so she stopped and used her hearing. There were two people in this room both well-trained fighters and also possible thief's as they keep their footsteps light. They were close. Once sounded heavier, not as experienced probably the women.
She walked towards the female feral softly as possible. She spotted Brennan crouched down by the entrance looking around. She walked further and spotted the female she was in good shape but Shalimar knew her weakness already. She was too self-assured. Grinning Shalimar creep up behind her. As she got ready to attack she was thrown into the wall. Disoriented she shut her eyes feeling someone kick her stomach a rib broke and she cried out. Standing her vision swimming she saw the feral. "But how?" "Your to slow for me." Then she lased out Shalimar blocking half the blows. Shalimar fell under the contast attacks. She knew what was coming the final blow that would cost her Brennan's freedom and possibly her life but it never came. When she looked again she saw Brennan fighting the feral.
