Hey everyone! Sorry about not updating sooner but I've been under the weather, and I had serious case of writers block. I'm past it now.

I want to thank everyone who has reviewed this story so far. Your reviews have really helped me.

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW.

The school year was almost most over. Buffy was adjusting well to using her new power on the Hellmouth. Angel wasn't happy about Buffy's decision to date someone else but he wouldn't stand in her way. Logan called her every day and she would tell him about her day at school. He came to see her about every other weekend. When her birthday had come he had surprised her by showing up at her front door to take her to dinner. It had been the best night of her life. It was definitely better than what she was doing now. During her patrol she had run into two rather nasty demons. They were light brown, scaly, and foot taller than Buffy. They were unaffected by her mutant power so she knew she would have to do this the hard way. She kicked a demon hard. One kick was in the chest and another in the head. Taking out her knife from her red jacket she moved to stab the demon. Before she could stab it the second demon knocked the knife from her hands. She turned and began fighting with the second demon. While they were fighting the first demon picked up her knife and threw it straight at her face. Buffy caught it. The second demon charges at her. Buffy grabs it and throws it on a nearby table. She quickly plunges the knife into the demon. Its silver demon blood begins to pour out and comes in contact with Buffy's skin. She looks around for the other one.

"One down…one gone."

Buffy was wandering why things like this always happens when it's Faith's night off. She grabs the body so that she could find a suitable place to bury it.

(Do you Buffy watchers get it now?)

Buffy was slowly being driven insane. Her aspect of the demon was the power of telepathy. At first Buffy had thought it was cool until the voices became too loud and strong for her to take. She had collapsed in the cafeteria not long after hearing some ones plan to kill the students. Giles had taken her home where her mother put her right to bed. An explanation was heard causing her mother to gasp. Immediately Alex made a call to New York knowing that if anyone could help her it would be Xavier and Jean. When no one answered he tried the comm link. He found out that the X-men were half way around the world and it would take quite a few hours to reach Sunnydale. Xavier told him that they would be there as soon as they could. Alex only hoped that they would arrive in time. From the doorway Joyce and Giles watched as she tossed and turn.

"I can't stand this. I keep wandering if I'm hurting her with my thoughts." Joyce told them.

"You're not." Giles told her.

"Not anymore. She can't pick out one thought out of the din." Alex told them.

"Is there anything we can do for her?"

"No, Faith is having trouble finding the second demon. It seems to have disappeared."

The communicator on Alex and Buffy's wrist beeped.

"Alex here."

"It's Scott. We're on the outskirts of Sunnydale. Rogue and Storm are flying Logan, Jean and the Professor in. They just left and should be there any minute. The rest of will be landing at our designated spot in ten minutes. How is she?"

"It's bad. She's not moving anymore. Before she was tossing and turning and she's as still as can be. I'm scared Bro."

"She'll be alright. She's a fighter. What about Aunt Joyce?"

"She's worried about Buffy. She's afraid she hurting her with her thoughts. We need you big brother."

"I'll be there as soon as I can. Scott out."

The five X-men landed right outside the Summer's door. They had managed to arrive before the sun had come up. Their flight in the air was being hidden by darkness. Though if what Buffy said about the people being clueless and never noticing what's going on, they probably could have arrived in the middle of the day. Logan knocked on the door hard. He could hear the fast footsteps of someone running toward the door. As soon as the door had opened Logan ran past Alex and up the stairs to Buffy's room. Giles and Joyce looked up a bit startled at Logan abrupt entrance. He went straight to the bed and looked at the woman who had stolen his heart. The others soon followed him.

"Aunt Joyce, Let me introduce you to Rogue, Jean Grey and Professor Charles Xavier. He runs the school for mutants that Scott and I work at."

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Summers." Xavier said from Rogue's arm.

"Please call me Joyce. Will you be able to help my daughter?" Joyce asked as she shook everyone's hand.

"I will do everything in my powers Joyce. Buffy has charmed her way into many hearts including mine. She is family." Joyce nodded her understanding. "I'll need everyone to leave the room. Jean and I will be putting a telepathic shield on the inside of the room to keep out all thoughts. Rogue I'll need you to make sure everyone stays out of the room until we come out."

"We'll do Professah."

"Logan, I need you to stay here inside. Now if everyone else will please leave Jean and I will see what we can do for Buffy."

Rogue sat the Professor in a chair by the bed. Then she made sure everyone was out before taking up her post outside the door. First Charles put up a telepathic shield blocking all outside thoughts from the room. With all the thoughts being blocked and Jean blocking Logan's, Xavier thought Buffy would wake up.

"Jean, it looks like Buffy has retreated deep within herself to get away from the voices. I'll need to go in and get her. I need you to be my anchor and make sure that I don't lose my way."

Jean nodded. Jean and Xavier closed their eyes. They soon appeared on the astral plane. Before them was a black portal which was the entrance way to Buffy's mind. Xavier stepped through. In the astral plane his body wasn't confined to the wheel chair.

Xavier tried once again to go deeper into Buffy's mind but was once again blocked. He sighed and contacted Jean to ask her to join him. They both tried and were rejected. Xavier was astounded by Buffy's mentality. Here was a girl who had basically shut herself down but was able to keep out the world's strong telepath. If Xavier had really wanted to get her mind he could have, but he would have caused a lot of damage that wouldn't be reversible. Logan was by their sides the moment they opened their eyes.

"What happened?"

"We can't get in." Jean told him.

"She has a very strong mental capacity. It's unlike any I ever seen. Even in the state she's in her mind is still protected. I'm not sure what to do. If I had Cerebo I might be able to get past her defense mechanisms without hurting her."

"Professor, can you get me inside her head?"

"Do you think she'll let you in?" Jean asked.

"Yeah, I do. She and have connected on so many different levels. I trust her completely, and I know she feels the same."

"Alright. It is worth a try. Logan, take a seat on the floor. Relax yourself. Close your eyes and take a deep breath."

Logan did as the Professor told him. He sat on the floor taking several deep breaths. He felt the moment the Professor had entered his mind. The Professor stood beside him on the astral plane. A black vortex was in front of them.

"This vortex will take you into Buffy's mind. Once you enter you'll find yourself outside a small white house. That's as far as Jean and I could get. You may encounter some very private and painful memories, and must not interfere with them. Changing them could cause irreversible damage to her mind. I'll be monitoring the situation from here."

Logan nodded and stepped inside the Vortex.

INSIDE BUFFY'S MIND

He was on the porch of the house. From where he stood he could hear a huge argument going on inside the house. He looked inside the window to see a much younger Joyce arguing with a man he suspected to be Buffy's father. He watched and couldn't believe that this man was Corsair's brother. He hoped he never met Hank Summers, because he knew if he did he wouldn't be held responsible for his actions. He watched as the two continued to argue unaware of the frightened little girl hidden behind the couch. The front door opened and Logan expected someone to come out the door but no one did. He moved cautiously toward the door. Entering he found himself not inside the house but inside some kind of hospital corridor. Doctors, nurses, and even patients had passed by him as if he wasn't there. He listened as they talked.

"How is Miss Summers responding to her treatment?"

Logan heard one of the doctors asked a nurse.

"She's responding well. The medication we've have her on has stopped the illusion of her seeing vampires. She's been talking with Dr. Clayton and he has gotten through to her that she did not burn down her gym to get rid of the vampires."

The two stopped in front of a solid metal door. The doctor opened the little window in the door. What Logan saw made him growl. There was his Buffy, though a couple years younger, sitting on the hospital bed in a white straight jacket. He noticed that Buffy was painfully thin and her eyes looked haunted. There were black circles underneath her eyes.

"We have no way of explaining her abnormal strength. She tested negative for all enhancement drugs. Her parents will be stopping in today to talk to you and Dr. Clayton."

Walking through Buffy's mind was bringing Logan closer to Buffy than he ever imagine. His love for was only growing and her hatred for her father becoming stronger. He soon found himself walking in Sunnydale. He was saw Buffy with Xander standing outside what Logan believed was Angel's mansion. He watched from a distance.

"Xander!"

"Cavalry's here. Cavalry's a frightened guy with a rock, but it here."

Buffy takes out a stake and gives it to Xander who drops his rock.

"That's better."

"You're not here to fight." Buffy starts walking. "You get Giles out, and you run like hell, understood? I can't protect you. I'm gonna be too busy killing."

Logan watches as she pulls the cloth off around the sword. He watched as Xander gapes at the sword.

"Now, that's a new look for you."

"It's a present for Angel."

"Willow-uh told me to tell you…"

"Tell me what?"

"To kick his ass."

Logan quickly followed the two as they headed for the mansion. He follows Buffy as the two split up. He watched as she moved into the room quietly. She raises the sword to cut off a vampire's head. It turns to ash. Angelus and a dark hair female vampire turned toward her.

"Hello Lover." Buffy says to a bored looking Angelus.

"I don't have time for you."

"You don't have a lot of time left."

"Coming on kind of strong, don't you think? You're playing some deep odds here. Do you really think you can take us all on?"

"No. I don't."

Logan watched as a blonde in a wheel chair slowly got up and with look of determination hits Angelus across the back with an iron. Angelus falls to the floor in pain. Logan could see that the blonde man was a vampire who was continuing to beat on Angelus. He saw Buffy begin to move toward the dark haired female but was stopped by another vampire. He had to stop himself from rushing to her side when the vamp had punched her in the face. He noticed that the dark haired female had knocked the blonde to the floor.

"I don't want to hurt you Dru." She grabs him by the throat and shoves him into the wall. He slaps her arm aside and punches her in the face. "Doesn't mean I won't."

Logan watched as Drusilla swipes at the blonde with her hand. He could tell by his look that it hurt. It left four parallel scratches across his cheek. She follows up with a punch that knocks him to the floor. Logan heard Angelus groan and was waking up. He wanted to call to Buffy who was still fighting her vampire. He noticed Angelus moving toward the demon and Acathla. Buffy also saw it as she quickly tried to dispose of her vampire. She was too late as she sees Angelus takes the last few steps to Acathla and grabs the sword stuck in his chest by the hilt with his bloody hand. A blindingly bright light is emanating from it.

"Oh here it comes Spike."

Drusilla told him with a smile. The blonde vampire, now known as Spike, had come up from behind her and began choking her with his arm. Logan watches as his love holds up her own sword against Angelus.

"You almost made it, Buff."

"It's not over yet."

"My boy Acathla here is about to wake up. You're going to Hell."

"Save me a seat."

Logan watched as his love fought her ex-lover. The fight had moved to the atrium. Buffy had hit the ground hard but quickly scrambles back to her feet as Angelus slowly advances. She thrusts, and he parries. She spins around and swings at him, and he blocks her. Her sword bounces off of his and falls with the tip onto the low wall of a planting bed. Angelus stomps on the blade before she can raise it again and knocks it from her grip. He spins around and elbows her in the face, knocking her back into a stone table, which collapses and falls with her.

Don't interfere Logan. You must let the memory run its course.

Logan growled but he knew the Professor was right. He continued to watch but it was taking all his will power not to interfere. He watched as Buffy backed away from Angelus who was bearing down on her with his sword. Angelus was playing with his sword, idly pointing it at Buffy. Logan could see the fright in her eyes.

"Now that's everything, huh? No weapons... No friends... No hope." Buffy closes her eyes and steels herself for whatever's coming. "Take all that away... and what's left?"

"Me."

She told him as she thrust the hilt of the sword at his face. Buffy and Angel began fighting once again. Buffy raises her sword to dispatch Angelus, but stops herself when he suddenly gasps loudly and groans in pain. Logan could see the change happening. He looks at Buffy and sees that she sees his eyes glow bright red for an instant and go back dark. He looks up at her, but quickly collapses to the floor, crying. Buffy stares down at him, but still holds her sword raised behind her. Angel raises himself back up, his eyes heavy with tears, and looks into her eyes.

"Buffy?" He says softly with a sob. "What's going on?"

She just looks at him, confused but not yet ready to lower the sword. He looks around a bit and gets to his feet.

"Where are we? I-I don't remember."

Logan watches as Buffy realized that the curse had worked. He saw her slowly lower her sword.

"Angel?"

Buffy says so softly that Wolverine would not have heard it if he didn't have super sensitive hearing. He noticed that Angel was staring at her.

"You're hurt."

She looks down at her wound and feels his gentle touch on her arm. She ignores her cut, and looks back up at him and steps closer. He embraces her tightly.

"Oh, Buffy... God."

Logan watches and can see that she still isn't completely sure that the curse had worked, but accepts the hug.

"I... I feel like I haven't seen you in months."

She accepts it, closing her eyes and breathes out a deep sigh.

"Oh, my God, everything's so muddled. I…" He holds her even more closely. "Oh…"

Logan lets out a growl of jealousy as he watches Angel kiss her on the shoulder.

"Oh, Buffy…"

She cries into his shoulder and hugs him back. Behind him Acathla lets out a low unearthly rumble. Buffy opens her eyes and stares in shock as Angel's face contorts. His brows angle down, his eyes glow red, his mouth opens grotesquely and the swirling vortex to Hell opens, small at first, but growing steadily in size and emanating a deep, red glow. Buffy lets go of Angel and looks up into his face. Logan could see that Angel was truly confused.

"What's happening?"

"Shh. Don't worry about it."

Once again jealousy reined as Buffy gently kissed Angel. Logan growled. He watches as Angel returns her kiss.

"I love you." Buffy say softly.

"I love you."

She touches his lips with her fingers again.

"Close your eyes."

Logan noticed Angel's hesitation but saw him comply. He watched as Buffy fought to keep from crying. Somehow he could feel all the emotions she was feeling. He watches as she does the hardest thing she ever had to do. She took a small step back before she thrust the sword in to Angel's chest. Logan saw Angel reach out to her completely shocked at what she had down.

"Buffy…"

Angel was sucked into the vortex and Acathla was closed. Logan wanted to run to her and comfort her as dropped to the ground in a heart-wrenching sob.

Logan knew that he was getting closer to where Buffy was hiding. Everything he had seen was leading him to her. Now he was standing outside the school in New York. He quickly opens the front door and begins to run through the mansion. He immediately heads for the stairs. He opened the door to the room that had been assigned to Buffy. A tremendous amount of noise seemed to come out of the room. He quickly shut the door sighing with relief when the voices stopped. He moved down to Scott's room. He knew that Buffy had spent several night in their after a really bad nightmare. He opened this door with caution and was grateful that the voice didn't come out of this one. Closing the door he felt something calling him toward his room. He moved down the corridor to his room. He stood outside the door and he found that his hand trembled slightly on the doorknob. Opening the door slowly he saw that his room was completely dark. As soon as he had stepped through the door it shut behind him. He was glad that his enhanced eyesight allowed him to see a little in the dark. Looking toward the bed he could see the small figure hidden beneath the covers. With a shaky hand and a deep breath he pulled the covers down. He let out the breath he had been holding upon seeing his Buffy there.

"Logan?"

"Yeah, it me darlin."

"I knew you would come for me." She said as she moved into his arms.

"Can you tell me how you did this?"

"I don't know. I just remember that the voices were so loud and I had to get away from them. I wanted to be someplace where it was quiet and safe. I was brought here. I always feel safe when you're around."

"The Professor is going to help you control this power. He wants to show you how to put shields up to block all the voices out. You ready to wake up. You got a lot of people worried about you. The whole gang is here."

"As long as your there. I always feel complete when I'm with you. When you're not I feel as if there is a part of me missing. I love you Logan. You are my soul mate."

"I love you too Darlin. You are my soul mate as well."

Logan told her lovingly. They leaned in for a kiss when they both disappeared. Buffy was waking up and Logan was returning to his body. Slowly Buffy's eyes began to flutter open.

"Logan?"

"Welcome back darlin." He said softly.

I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER. THE LAST CHAPTER WILL BE COMING SOON.
