Mutant X
"Goddaughter"
Chapter 4
It was the end of June, June 21st to be exact, and in England the skies were dark and gloomy. Winds were whirling about and the clouds threatened to pour at any minute. Sailsbury, England where Stonehenge lay Mutant X landed the Double Helix. They cautiously approached the stone circle not seeing anyone around. Soon Mutant X was joined by Mason Eckhart and a few of his minions, but still no Madison. "What are you here for Adam?"
"Probably looking for the same person as you, Mason," Adam told him.
The skies grew darker and began to thunder. The GS Agents collapsed and suddenlly six cloaked figures appeared around Mutant X, and Mason Eckhart. The bodies of the GS Agents had disapeared. "What's going on here?" Eckhart demanded.
"A sacrifice is demanded!" came a deep voice from under one of the cloaks. And he pointed a finger into the circle at Eckhart. "Which shall we take?"
"You have disturbed the balance of power," a light female accused pointing at Adam.
"The Summer Solstice has begun," another male voice came and pointed at Emma.
"It cannot end before it is over," a soft voice said pointing at Jesse.
"What is over?" Jesse asked back and the thunder clashed louder above their heads.
"The end of days has begun," said the next to the last person. He pointed at Shalimar.
"End of days?" Adam repeated a bit puzzled. Adam looked at the sixth figure, the one who hadn't spoken yet. The figure was the only one dressed in white, what did it mean? All of the rest were in royal blue. All six were in full length hooded cloaks which only revealed a small amount of the dark clothing that they were all wearing underneath except the one in white who was wearing white. "What is this?"
"You shall all answer to whatever gods you hold dear!" the one in white announced and pointed at Brennan and then they all lifted their arms to the dark heavens.
The first that had started the accusations began the chant. "Craft the spell in the fire!" he said and his cloak turned scarlett red and the hood came down to reveal a light skined young man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Craft it well; Weave it higher!" she continued and her cloak turned light blue and the hood falling back revealed that she was a young woman with short red hair and green eyes.
"Weave it now of shining flame!" the next contniued and the cloak changed from its royal blue to green. The hood fell back to reveal a young man with light blonde spikey hair with blue eyes.
"None shall come to hurt or maim!" the next figure's cloak turned to a vibrant violet and revealed a long, curly blonde haired, blue eyed young woman.
"None shall pass this fiery wall!" the last figure originally in blue cloaks contnued the chant. His cloak turned to yellow. He was young also, he had dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"None shall pass. No, none at all!" the white cloaked figure finished the chant and her cloak turned dark blue and then all six cloaks turned white, the stone circle was lit by instant candlelight and the rain began to fall from the sky. The last hood fell back to reveal Madison Isabelle Caden.
"Craft it well; Weave it higher! Weave it now of shining flame! None shall come to hurt or maim! None shall pass this fiery wall! None shall pass. No, none at all!" the cloaked group continued chanting the chant over and over again, heads and arms lifted to the sky. The lightening and thunder along with the cold rain came down even harder on Stonehenge. A lightening bolt hit one of the stones and scared Mason Eckhart into running from the stone circle. The group stopped the chanting and a light came from the group and formed in the sky above them. They repeated the chant once more and the ball of light hurled down to the middle of the circle raising the six above the ground and then the light went into Madison and they all fell to the ground.
Adam and the rest of Mutant X went quickly to check on all of the young adults. Adam had Madison in his arms. "Come on Madison, breathe!" She was the only one that wasn't getting up.
"She's not breathing?" one of them asked.
"No!" Adam said.
"Move over!" the man laid Madison on the ground and placed his hand on her upper chest. His hand glowed and Madison drew in a breath. He rolled her over on her side and laid down next to her holding her. "Madison?"
"You didn't lose me," Madison told him.
"Yet," one of the other corrected.
"WHAT was that?" Brennan asked.
"We scare the hell out of Mason?" Madison asked.
"I'd say so," Shalimar answered.
"That was the point!" Madison said as she was helped to her feet.
"That was the point of all of this?" Adam asked.
"It was fun, huh?"
"That wouldn't be the word I'd use."
"Come on, Adam you know it was great!"
"Do you almost die on all of your set ups?" Jesse asked.
"Only when we're using that much energy," the spikey haired man said.
"I'm fine. So?"
"No Madison!"
"Come on Michael!"
"Madison! Come on no more craziness," Michael pleaded.
"Yeah that's for Chris to do!" one of the women said.
"Hey!" argued Christopher.
"Be nice children!" the third woman warned.
"We should be going now," the last man said.
"Wait! Who are all of you? And where are you going?" Adam asked.
"Madison Isabelle Caden."
"Michael Ian Caden, her cousin."
"Devann Anne Taylor."
"Christopher David Eliot."
"Ryan James Black."
"Fiona Danai Sinclair."
"And we're going on another adventure," Madison said.
"To where?" Adam asked.
"Dublin? Cairo? Zaire?"
"Uh huh and do you uncle and aunt know about it?"
"We are all at least eighteen," Chris interrupted.
"Chaparones are so overrated!" Devann said.
"I vote Cairo!" Fiona told them.
"So, will you at least keep in touch?" Adam asked.
"I will keep in touch AND come and visit every now and then."
"Will I never know what powers you hold? Or all of you hold?"
"If you really need to know then why don't you work more on identifying what DNA signatures I have and the rest of us. You know the foundation all have our DNA samples just ask my aunt and uncle."
"See you soon?" Adam asked as the group began to leave.
"Very soon," Madison said as she hugged Adam. "But always know that I will be with you..."
"And I with you..."
"Goodbye Adam. Nice meeting you all!" Madison left with that and headed away from the stone circle.
"Goodbye," Adam said to himself.
"Let's go home?" Brennan suggested.
"I agree," Emma said and Brennan pulled Emma towards him.
"Then let's go home!" Adam said as he pulled his children toward him and they headed to the Double Helix.
The End...
