FAIRENTH'S PERSPECTIVE
IS IT YOUR MIND HOLDING YOU CAPTIVE IN THIS ILLUSIONAL ROOM, OR IS IT YOURSELF TURNING TO A SAFE HAVEN?
Safe haven? Was this really some sort of sick safe haven? Somewhere where she would turn to in troubled times because it.was.all.she knew. It was all she knew. It was like someone struck her deep in the chest, because she knew this was the truth. All she had ever known was this little black room of all her worries and memories. Change was scary to a girl like her, and all she had ever known was years of abuse and torment. Now here she was, in a place where this little dark room was no longer needed and she didn't know how to let go of it.to be free of it. That little light.
GO ON, TOUCH IT, REACH FOR IT.DON'T LET THIS CONTROL YOU.
That damn voice.
She was scared of it.all of it.and all she wanted to do was go crying to Kurt and let him comfort her in some odd way but.Kurt wasn't there, he was nowhere to be found. All she had was herself and some voice she figured was some form of her subconscious. The figment of herself in her mind reached a strangled arm out to the growing light in the corner, her fingers aching for the warmth. It got closer and her minds eyes sparkled with the ongoing light, getting more and more excited as she felt the slightest warmth touch the tips of her fingers. But just as she set her knees firmly, and grasped for the light, and odd pain ripped through her body, sending a blur through her mind, canceling out the little room and light. Her heart cried out in numbed pain, and she felt her eyes open in reality, the harsh cold of the night hitting them.
She was at Perdition River. No dark room. No hopelessly stretched light. Just.the river.
Her eyes burned and light radiated out of them like she had never dared to let them go before. She looked to the sky painfully, and looked to the moon for help, as if it would just reach down and scope her out of her misery. So much pain. It felt as if her soul was being sucked right out of her. She heard screaming. So much noise. Her head fell forward, away from the moon in desperate attempt to see to her friends, but they only fell on one much wrenched looking Magneto. He was down on all fours, yelling out and howling in pain. If she wasn't in so much confusion, she was sure she would be in that very same position. Suddenly, the light disappeared. All of it. Her head dropped, and her eyelids slid shut, her mind very much awake, but her body drained and weak. She wasn't unconscious, she heard everything going on, and she could feel the numbing wind hitting her skin. Her breathe came in weak spurts, swallow and frail. Then her ears picked up on something horrible. Something she hadn't heard since her times, from her father.
A horrible, evil laugh.
Fairenth felt the confines on her arms and legs let go, and her slim body fell to the ground with a thump. She gurgled in her throat with pain, and winced when a splitting pain slipped down her neck. Feeling more and more drained, all she could do was listen to the action going on around her. Winds whipped around the park, and rain and hail splattered and knocked people on the heads. The river was rampaging, and trees were looking threatening. Her blurred eyes caught sight of Magneto again, but this time.oh.
This time he was well suspended in the air by roots, her roots, and his eyes glowed her menacing white. Then it all hit her in a big rockish lump.
He had her powers.
How? She had no clue. That's why it was so quiet in her mind. She heard no rustles of any wildlife, speaking to her in her mind, and she heard no whispers of the plants around her. It was just so.quiet. She shuddered, and used all the little strength she had in her to flip her body over so she had some view of where her friends where. With a howl and yelp, she got to her side, grasping the thin grass and whinnying with pain. Her eyes scanned the area with horror.
Evan seemed busy enough with the oncoming wolves that surrounded him, growling and scraping the ground as if they hadn't eaten in days. Jean was nearby, holding a mental shield around her and a lifeless looking Kitty. Rogue was off in the distance somewhat with Mr. McCoy, fighting off a few vines from the trees that sprang to life and had Rogue by her legs. Wolverine was right by her, growling and cutting off the lifelines of as many roots as he could. A pain struck through her body each time the roots where cut, a mentally share pain with the plants. She panted for air, and looked for the others. As for Storm.Fairenth could only think she was up in the sky, sending those bolts of lightening on the poor wildlife. That lump that had hit her fiercely not even a minute seemed to strike again as a familiar face popped into her mind.
Where was Kurt?
A booming voice caught her attention and all she could do was lay there, helpless, and let the heavy tears slid down her broken face.
".WHY DO YOU KEEP FIGHTING, CHILD? SHE'S GONE, DEAD! HER POWERS LIVE IN ME NOW BOY, HER VERY SOUL AND STRENGTH ARE MINE! SHE HAS NO LOVE FOR YOU ANY MORE!"
KURT'S PERSPECTIVE
".WHY DO YOU KEEP FIGHTING, CHILD? SHE'S GONE, DEAD! HER POWERS LIVE IN ME NOW BOY, HER VERY SOUL AND STRENGTH ARE MINE! SHE HAS NO LOVE FOR YOU ANY MORE!"
If he could have said anything to have pissed him off, that one topped the charts. His yellow eyes grew in intensity with a murderous tinge, and he let his eyes stray off Magneto to the limp form of Fairenth near by. Golden stripped blood pooled around her, causing a swell in Kurt's throat. But she wasn't dead. She just.she couldn't be.
Magneto gave out a chuckle from his perch on the roots.
"CHILDISH LOVE, NIGHTCRAWLER. YOU GET THAT FROM YOUR MOTHER I SEE..." he let off, and Kurt's anger returned, sending a jolt through his body. He teleported to where Magneto was, and with one fierce punch, Magneto turned his angry eyes to his and summoned his lethal roots. Kurt felt them slink up his legs and then his torso, where they finally just covered his entire body and restrained any movement. He was about to teleport when Magneto's words caught his attention.
"YOU HONESTLY LOVED HER DIDN'T YOU? I CAN SEE HOW. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE. POWERFUL. TOOK NOTHING FOR GRANTED. ESPECIALLY YOU, NIGHTCRAWLER. SHE WAS ABLE TO LOVE A HIDIOUS LOOKING CREATURE LIKE YOU, AND NOT HOLD ANYTHING BACK. BUT SHE'S GONE NOW BOY, WHAT HAVE YOU TO LIVE FOR?"
His words, although morbid, made sense in Kurt's confused mind. Fairenth was gone. She was basically the only one that took one look at him and saw not a demon, but a seventeen year old boy, in his prime. What did he have to live for? The X-Men?
".NOTHING. NOT EVEN YOU'RE FRIENDS. LOOK AT THEM KURT, TRYING SO HARD TO BE THE HEROES WHEN THEY'RE BLIND TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE WILL WIN IN THIS SITUATION, BUT ME."
Kurt looked over his friends and a tear slid down his downy cheek as he watched them fight in pure futile actions. Kitty was already down. Rogue was held tight in Wolverines arms, unconscious as he fought to keep off more oncoming animals and plants. Jean was on her knees trying to keep a mental shield up, and Scott was leaning against a tree for support. Evan was in a tree, unable to hold back the panic he was harboring from the intensity of the situation. All his friends were losing, and Fairenth was dead. His head dropped and the idea of teleporting was gone. He didn't want to live to see his friends die. He didn't want to live to be feared the rest of his life. He just wanted.
Peace.
"TODAY IS JUDGEMENT DAY, KURT. CONSIDER YOURSELF JUDGED" Magneto yelled out in a victorious laugh as Kurt felt the roots around him constrict, slowly getting tighter and tighter. His air was becoming sparse and all he could do was stare at the body on the ground that was once Fairenth, as his sight blurred and his mind jumbled.
She was so beautiful.
FAIRENTH'S PERSPECTIVE
It was not going to end this way. She wasn't going to let it go like this. He would not win over her, and kill Kurt in his prime.
Overhearing the entire one-sided conversation with Magneto, she gripped the grass and started to painfully crawl to the nearest tree for support. The wind opposed her actions and whipped through, and the pellets of hail and sleet covered her shivering and bloodied body. Fairenth's body cried out for her to stop and just let it all end, but her mind was set, and nothing was going to stop her. Whatever he did to her, he could never take all of her power. Her power was what made her personality, her soul, and nothing could take her soul away from her. Once her hand touched the tree, she gripped it and sat up in a kneeling position with a loud yell.
She was so weak.
Gathering all the strength she had in her legs, she stood up with blurry vision and let the tears fall freely from her burning eyes. What she was about to do was going to most likely end it for her, but she had to stop Magneto.Kurt's.everyone's life was on the line. Fairenth never had much telekinetic power, more or less any mental powers. But the Professor had once told her she had some, although weak. She never tried to use it, never. The Professor had told her it might be too much on her system, and she could get hurt.
Well, it was time to test the Professors theory.
Closing her burning eyes, she had to keep control over her shaking and unstable body as she focused her mind on the roots holding Magneto. If she could just break them.break them all.if he had any of the sensitivity she had to plant life, he would feel their pain. Magneto didn't have Fairenth's control, and she was sure it would at least put him in a coma or such. But on the downside of this all, in her already weak and losing state.
It might kill her.
Shrugging the idea off with her tears, she focused again on the roots, and felt her mind set into motion. Sudden cracking caused Fairenth to gasp in pain, and she fell to her knees as she kept her mind on the breaking life lines of the plants. Hearing Magneto's screams made her sure it was working, but the pain in her was becoming more than unbearable.
Smoke started to fog her vision and mind, and sobs racked her body as she slumped against the tree.
KURT'S PERSPECTIVE
He was losing consciousness. His breathe was leaving his body and hot tears was slipping down his cheek making his fur wetter than it already was with the rain. He couldn't see Fairenth anymore, and that was making him even more depressed and pained in the situation. But just as his head slipped back.
The roots slacked, and his body fell to the nearby ground with a loud thud.
Gasping and sputtering for breath, life was entering back into his body, and his vision was clearing. He looked up to the commotion in the sky, and saw Magneto crying out and wrenching in pain. The roots around him were breaking apart, and falling to the ground. The one holding him let go, and let him dangle to the ground, hitting the ground much like Kurt had. He stared in pure horror as he grasped the grass and yelped and cried in pain. Kurt inched back against a rock with wide eyes, wishing this all was over.
Magneto gave one more stretch to the sky, as if begging for mercy, and then he gave up. His arm fell, and his body went loose on the ground.
Everything stopped.
The wind stopped completely. The rain and sleet stopped ragging, and the river quieted. The vines and roots from the trees retracted to its respected place, and everything went quiet. Kurt sat against the rock, and heard footsteps behind him. He turned slightly, wincing in pain. Wolverine walked up, Rogue still in his arms, limp but breathing. Jean was standing there, supported on Scott's arms, her head dug into his chest as if she was hiding. Kitty stumbled over slightly, and then fell to her knees with a grunt. Evan came and picked her up slightly, giving her the support she needed. The rest came up, and Mr. McCoy leaned over Magneto and looked for a pulse. There was one, but weak and almost failing. Kurt didn't watch though. He didn't hear much of anything. Instead his eyes were locked on the sunrise, the crimson and bright colors of the sunrise in front of the river.
They had fought all night.
FAIRENTH'S PERSPECTIVE
Her breathing was weakening, and her sight blurry, but she saw the colors of the sunrise beckoning her back to life. She couldn't move her body, she was far too weak. Her head was supported against the tree, and her hair stuck to her face in odd patterns. Her eyelids closed slightly, but through the cracks her eyes fell on the figure of Kurt, alive and well. The rest were okay too, hurt, but alive. That's all she cared about. Them alive. And well. Her breathe started to slow slightly, and a smile teased the corner of her lips when she saw Kurt look over her way. With a peaceful feeling, she let her eyes close completely before she heard someone's voice.
".Where's Farah?"
Then she let go.
YAY! They won. But as for our beloved Fairenth.well, we'll see next chapter. I think maybe the next chapter will be the end, but I might have to stretch it out to two more chapters.not sure. Well, see ya then!!
DISCLAIMER: do I really need to say it? Argh. Fine. The X-Men aren't mine. So there.
