Chapter 4
Emma had been driving for several hour when she finally reached Kevin's apartment. It was still dark outside and there was a slight morning chill.
Getting out of the car she walked towards the entrance. 'Jesse should still be asleep' She mused.
"It's still early. What does Kevin want?" Emma stopped in front of Kevin's door. Bringing her hand up she knocked lightly.
For a few minutes there was only silence. Then the lights turned on and the door opened revealing Kevin inside.
He stepped aside so that Emma could get in. "What was so important Kevin? It's not even six yet."
"I had something important to tell you." Said Kevin.
He walked towards the couch and sat down. "It's about Christopher."
Emma suddenly looked up. A shocked and frightened expression on her face. "What?"
"He's alive." Said Kevin. "I just found out a few days ago.
"What... How?" Emma got up and stared walking around. "That's not possible."
Kevin went up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
Emma gasped. Kevin turned her to face him. "I know that it doesn't seem possible... but I saw him. He was alive."
"H-How...?" Asked Emma quietly.
"I don't know." Answered Kevin. "He was in a wheelchair. It probably only hurt him."
"He fell of a third floor!! That would kill anyone!!" Emma was frantic. She could not believe that Christopher was alive.
"Apparently not anyone. Look I don't know how he did it... but the truth is that he is among us. He's here. I just thought that I would let you know... Especially after what happened between the both of you." Said Kevin.
"I... I have to go. Thanks for telling me." Emma walked out of the door.
Hurrying outside she entered her car and drove off. The sun was starting to come out already. Ignoring all of the speed limits on the road she hurried towards Sanctuary.
'I have to tell the others.' She thought. 'How am I going to do this? I know that it was not my fault... but what if they don't think the same thing. What if they think I did it?'
When Sanctuary came into view she was still nowhere near solving her problem.
*********************************
Entering Sanctuary she found Jesse sitting in the main room. When he heard her come in he looked up. "There you are."
"What do you mean?" Asked Emma her voice still a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Asked Jesse hearing the distress in her voice.
"I have to talk to you guys but I don't know how to tell you this. If I tell you know do you promise not to tell anyone else until I am ready?"
Jesse looked concerned. "Of course. What is it?"
"Can we please talk in my room?" Asked Emma.
Jesse walked towards Emma's room and she followed him. They went inside and sat on the edge of the bed.
Emma started talking. "This morning I woke up to the sound of the phone. When I picked it up it was Kevin. He wanted me to go to his apartment. He said that it was something important. When I got there he told me something that I though I would never hear."
Jesse looked at her when she stopped talking. "What happened?"
"It's a long and painful story." Emma continued her voice shaking.
"When I was around 16 I met this guy... Christopher. We thought that we were in love and we... uh... we decided to get married." Emma looked up to see Jesse looking at her with a hurt expression on his face.
"At first everything was fine. Then one day Christopher started drinking. He would get mad for no reason. A few days later I found out that I was pregnant. When I told him he was happy. It's as if I had gotten the old Christopher back. By that time I had already learned how to hide my powers very well. He never knew that I was a mutant. After I gave birth he turned back into his drinking self. Everyday he would drink and when he got home from work he would always have a reason to fight... He had a bad day at work or he had to much work. Anything. One day when Samuel, my son, was two he took him to the park. A few hours later the police called me and told me that Christopher and my son had been in an accident. Christopher had a few broken bones and Samuel had died. I know that Christopher had been drinking. I don't know what he did and why they didn't see that but... it's his fault that Samuel died."
"Oh my god Emm. I am so sorry."
"Thanks. Anyhow, after that the fights got worse. I couldn't take it anymore and I asked him for a divorce. This got him even angrier and he hit me. For the first time I used my power on him. He got so angry when he found out. We had been on the third floor of our apartment. He tried pushing me off and I accidentally threw him down. I thought that he had died. However, today Kevin told me that he saw Christopher. That he isn't dead. I think that it's not possible... how can he survive that fall but I don't think Kevin would lie to me either."
"Stranger things could happen. Either way you should probably be careful. If he tried to kill you once he might try it again."
"Probably. Thanks for listening Jess. Just don't tell anyone. I'll tell them on my own time."
"Sure. Don't worry about it.
