Chapter 19: Music of the Damned
Man, Fanfiction.net has been fucked up lately. My other fic, Summer Fun got booted and trying to sign on has been well... Fucked up. But the D man is back and with a vengeance. Here's the next chapter in the AoA cycle. Hope you like.
Dedication: Ummm... I don't have one this time. Wow. I'm amazed. Ummm, on with the show.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Imagine trying to sing a song but you can't remember the words or how the melody goes. For Nate Grey, that song was his life. He could not remember any of his past and he was plagued by dreams of pure evil.
Apocalypse Island, 2 days ago
"Needless to say it was only a matter of time before this subject escaped from the pens using his bio-powered psychokinetic abilities. This only proves that Nate is ready to fulfill his destiny by bringing down Apocalypse before the madman can unleash his army's. My own involvement with the renegades Logan and Jean Grey have put me in a dangerous position. Therefore I must leave and find young Nate and prepare him for his destiny. But I can only hope that I will succeed before Scott and Alex find out. Alex will most likely snap, Scott however will question himself more than he does now. And that can be dangerous in this day and age. This will be my last entry into this journal as I will leave my laboratory tomorrow and find Nate. And prepare him for his future. Heaven help me."
- Nathaniel Essex
"I knew the son-of'a-bitch was a traitor." Alex muttered to himself as he scanned Sinister's journal entries. As he read through, he grew a smile. "I do believe that the Shadow King will want to see this." Alex thought to himself as he took of down the hall with a disc in hand.

Avalon
"I remember him well my friends." The monk known as Cain said as he told his story to those gathered. "My brother was a visionary. And here in Avalon, his dreams have been fulfilled." Cain spoke with a fiery passion about the brother whom he once hated and then learned to respect.
"This is a load of horse shit." Teresa projected.
"Calm down Tres. We're safe now." Nate projected back. "You can lower the shields."
"Never lover." Teresa muttered as she looked around at the other mutants that were gathered around the roaring fire. Her eyes settled onto that of an elder blind female. The monk Cain and a few others kept this sacred place safe. Mostly because of her. They called her Destiny, because she could see into the future. She had stayed away from Nate for some reason and Teresa was going to find out why.

~We've got company govner. ~ Jonothen Starsmore projected as he pulled down the thick leather wrapping's that covered the gapping hole in his chest. Immediately Bio-nuclear psychokinetic energy erupted from his own personal "Chamber" of power.
"Emma! Summon the Exiles!" Shaw spat as he stared at the large energy vortex that had appeared inside the Inner Circles Chamber.
~ Belay that command, Em. ~ Chamber said as he saw the first figure emerge from the vortex. ~ Gorden Bennett. ~ Chamber said in awe.
"Long time no see, huh Jono?" Mike Nagrite asked as he walked over to the leather-clad mutant in front of him, his long braided hair blowing in front of him from the unnatural wind that the vortex created.
~ To long mate. ~ Chamber said as he embraced his friend. He turned to see Gambit, Sabertooth, Wolverine and an Indian emerge from the Vortex.
"So how's the Inner Circle treating you Starsmore?" Sabertooth asked.
~ Better than the X-Men, that's for sure. ~ Chamber said, motioning to where his girlfriend Paige sat. She had a huge grin of content plastered on her face.
"So what brings you here?" Betsy Braddock asked from her position on the couch.
"Yes. Do tell." Emma Frost asked as she looked on with a hint of disgust.
"We need to talk with Worthington." Logan said as he lit his cigar, his thoughts on Jean.
"He'll be along shortly." Shaw said as he sat down. "Do you want to tell us what this is all about. I mean it's rare to see a pair of Brotherhood members and an X-Man along with two Rogues all together.
"Lets just say hell has frozen over." Gambit said as he took a seat next to Paige Guntrie. He gave her a charming smile. She mearly got up and walked over to where Chamber was and leaned into him as she flashed Remy a smile. His face instantly dropped after getting the message. "Damn." He thought to himself.
~ What the bloody 'ell does the Cajun mean Mike? ~
"Exactly what he said Jono." Omega responded as she sat down.
"This promises to be depressing." Emma said as she looked around.

Avalon
"Where are you going?" Destiny turned around at the voice. The blind woman didn't need to see to tell who it was.
"Funny. With the ability to see the future, I'm usually asked more pressing questions than that." Destiny said with a smile. "You surprised me Teresa."
"Only my friends call me that." Teresa said as she approached the old woman. "But you never answered my question, Where are you going?"
"Far away from young Nate." Destiny answered simply.
"Why?" Teresa asked, fear evident in her voice. "Is he in danger? Talk to me damn you!!!" Teresa yelled as she grabbed the older woman and slammed her up against a wall.
"Evil follows him, young one. Beware." Destiny said before she walked off into the night, leaving the young mutant with nothing but questions.
-------------
"Hey look who it is, the prodigal daughter." Nate said with a smile as Teresa walked back to the campfire.
"Very funny Nate." She said as she sat down in his lap.
"So Nate, Teresa have you decided on what to do here in Avalon?" Cain said as she poked the fire.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't put much thought to it." Nate said as he stared at the fire.
"Than I may be of help to you." Came a voice from behind them. They turned to see a man around six feet tall with long dark hair. He had many scars on his face and dark red eyes. The strange thing was that he had a red diamond shaped tattoo on his forehead.
"And you are?" The monk Cain asked the stranger.
"They call me Essex."
Imagine trying to sing a song, but you can't remember the words or how the melody goes. Suddenly you hear the first note.
************
Gee. I wonder who this Essex is. Hmmm. If you want to know than review. And if you don't know already than seek help. But seriously review folks. I need to know if I should carry this out for a little longer or just wrap it up soon. You decide. Please review. And of course...
Peace out,
