For the second time that day, Remy LeBeau found himself pinned to the floor. This time, however, this person on top of him was a very peeved, very furious, very pink-haired Allison Blair. Remy had to bite his lip to keep from snickering.
Unfortunatly, Allison noticed and proceeded to strangle him. "I'm going to KILL YOU!" she shrieked. "Please, chere..." Remy managed to croak, " Please-" 'Save it! Tell me, is this permanent? Is it?" Remy closed his eyes and braced himself. "Yes..."
At that moment, Scott burst in the room, halting for a moment at the site of Allison hair, then running over and pulling her off Remy. Remy quickly got up and backed away, gasping for air. "You are crazy, chere!"
Allison wriggled her way out of Scott's grasp and glared murder at the panting Cajun. " You better watch your back, LeBeau. Do something like this again, I'll cut of your head and serve it on a silver platter!" Remy watched her as she stormed out of the room, then leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes.
'Note to self: Next time, pick a less violent victim.'

Allison sighed as she walked out of the mansion. She had decided to take a run through the woods, knowing if she stayed in the mansion much longer, Remy would meet an untimely end.
As she started along the dirt path, Allison smiled. She loved to be outside. The birds sang a sweet tune in the trees and flowers bloomed all around. The sun shined brightly in the sky, lighting up the world around her.
For awhile, she concentrated on her breathing and the path in front of her, counting out a steady rythym. 'One, two, one, two, one, two...' She slowed down to a walk for a moment to catch her breath. Allison looked around her and frowned slightly. It was nearly dark. 'Have been out that long?" she thought, stopping.
It was weird. It seemed as if the entire demeanor of the forest around her had changed. There were no flowers to be seen or birds to be heard. The tree branches seemed to reach out for her, bending down and beckoning her.
She bit her lip as a trickle of fear snaked through her. She had no idea where she was. The path was overgrown and plants and foliage seemed to create a cage around her. As she looked from side to side, she noticed a pair of glowing yellow eyes under the brush.
Her heart leapt in her throat and she started to back away. Not looking where she was going, Allison tripped over a branch and fell to the ground with a grunt. Shaking her head to clear, she then looked straight ahead and froze. Directly in front of her was a very large, very angry-looking snake. Her mind screamed from her to scream, run, anything, but her body was immobile with fear. For what seemed like forever, she stared into the snake's cold eyes. Then she felt something crawl across her hand. Allison looked down and this time she did scream.
A giant black spider the size of her fist was crawling up her arm. She wanted to shake it off, but didn't move for fear of angering the snake. She saw with horror that hundreds of spiders were coming out from under the foliage and as she watched, terrified, they began to crawl up on her. She screamed as she felt them crawling under her shirt and up her back. The snake, meanwhile, had wound it's scaly body around her ankle and was proceeding to slide under and up her pant's leg.
Unable to take it any more, she passed out.

Sydney Thomas aka Shadow Walker stepped out from behind a tree and shuddered at the sound of songbirds chirping and sunlight streaming through the treetops. Her grimace slowly transformed wicked smile, seeing the teenage girl lying passed out on the forest floor. 'That was just too easy.'
Sydney Thomas had possessed the power of fear. She was able to make her victims hallucinate the thing that they feared the most. Doing so to this young woman had been trivally easy. 'I mean, come on. Arachnophobia? Give me a challenge." She chuckled sofly and kneeled next to the girl. With doctorly precision, she admisnistered a heavy sedative to the teen and sat back to survey her work.
'Just too easy'

Mortimer perched high atop the mansion's roof, watching the students play a game of basketball outside. He had no idea what had possessed him to come up here. It had been like a silent urging in the corner of his mind. Weird.
He stood and walked to the edge of the roof, again not sure why. A barely recognizable voice in his mind whispered for him to jump. Mortimer took a step back, then two, face slightly pale. As he looked toward the egde the soft mental voice once again urged him to walk off the roof. He took another step back, shaking now. What was that?
Suddenly, he stopped moving. Then he stepped forward. Terror suddenly engulfed him. He wasn't doing this. 'Somebody help! Help me!' he screamed mentally, begging to be heard. He tried uselessly to stop his body as he moved forward another step. Two more and he would fall. 'HELP!'
*Mortimer?*
Mortimer felt relief wash over him at the sound of Xavier's mental inquiry. "Professor! Please, you have to-' He was cut off by a sudden, blinding pain.
Then his world plunged into black.
