I sat in a heap, fear keeping me on the edge of hysteria. Thought's crowded my head, each weighing like barbells on my heart, laboring my breathing. It may be hard to believe, but I didn't care about dying anymore. It almost didn't matter that I would never get to see my unknown family. It almost didn't bother me that I would never see my beloved X-men's multiple faces again. No, it was the wait that bothered me so much. The empty time before my fate becomes evident. I wanted it to be over with, so that I didn't have so much time to think. I couldn't feel my limbs; they had become numb with settlement. I didn't have anything to do, so thinking was inevitable, of course. What's it like to die? Is their an actual heaven waiting for me? Or do I simply…cease to exist? I felt a shudder run down my spine. I was only 15, and I wasn't ready to die. I picked myself up slowly, testing each muscle and bringing circulation back to them. I moved away painfully from my corner. Most of the sedative had escaped my system, and left behind an enormous headache. I closed my eyes, and leaned against the wall. It sagged a bit under my weight, but I had already tried prying it apart once. It was useless. I pushed away from the structure, and walked slowly towards the window. For once, I regretted being so short. If only I was two inches taller, I could reach the window, and maybe escape. How cruel the world can be, I thought glumly. I closed my eyes again, defeat once again taking over my body and my mind. I slid into a sitting position against the wall. I'm sure I would be a pitiful sight if anyone found me at that exact moment, what with my body sagging, and my bloody foot itching with the dried blood and dirt. Kitty's shirt was ripped and covering up the seemingly shallow cut. At least, I think it was shallow. It had stopped bleeding an hour ago, but it had bleed for two more hours before.
The sun was disappearing along the horizon when I smelt it. The acrid scent that invaded my mind so many times. The black smoke trickled like ebony water under the doorway that led the way out. It had begun; my final sentence. Death…
*In the Blackbird*
Silence was the ruler in the flying aircraft. A tense silence that made all the occupants silent and still. One of their own was in trouble, and they couldn't find her exact location. The professor was trying to find her; his fingers were pressed lightly against his temple, searching. Jean was also looking for her, but even their combined forces were useless now. The dreaded silence was finally broken my Ororo's airy gasp. All attention was turned to her, and she told Logan to land the plane. She was pointing to a great barn. Flames were destroying the building, and smoke was curling like black marble pillars towards the inky night sky.
I'm sorry, but I love cliffhangers! No, she's not dead yet, at least. Five reviews to continue!
