Ensnared in my Reverie
***There's a new mutant in town, and she has the intention of riding the world with mutants. She can be deadly and you won't even know it until you're already dead***
Summary: Mutants have been dying and Adam is worried this might be some kind of epidemic. But he soon finds out how wrong he is, because all these appeared to have good health when they died. Adam is confused how this new mutant kills, and when he finds out exactly how, there is a price to pay. He must find a cure or he will loose two members.
Read and review!!!
**NOTE** Thanks so much for your reviews!!! Even if there's only a few, but still! It's all positive, and I can't help but feel ecstatic [because this is somewhat one of my first ever posted fanfics on the internet] and I'm writing this thing pronto!!! =)
BRIGITTA - well, now that you've mentioned it, yup, I've thought about this story a whole lot! I've started writing it since last April, but I've only thought about the structure of the story. Not so much about the detail, as I'm not so good with Mutant X details [like the Sanctuary or Genomex ( did I even spell that right???!] But stupid thing was I pressed the save button on the wrong document.and well, bottom line is all my ideas about this story went ^poof^ gone instantly! So, I'm trying hard to put it all together back again. ^sigh^
Anyway, pardon my mistakes, and I'll do my best!!! =)
GOLDSTRANGER - yup, some episode like this did happen in season one.I think the title of the episode was [nothing to fear] and it was all a weird coincidence because after I wrote down my ideas for this story, that particular episode was aired on Star World, and I felt so bad because my idea were the same, and people might think I copied this story from that episode, but I seriously didn't. =] I guess I'll just have to make it as different as possible. I won't be putting any "marks" on the victims, like in that certain episode. Huh. Am I making any sense?!? =) I'm just so excited!!!
Hope you all like this one, and DOUBLEKIDZ, I hope I've tortured Jesse enough for you!!!

Chapter 3 - Succumbing to it
Jesse stretched and yawned as he woke up. But then he realized it was dark in his room, and it was cold, as if there was no electricity on. Standing up, he rubbed his eyes to rid the drowsiness. He looked around his room, and shivered.
He walked outside, "Hey, guys, what's going on?" he called uncertainly, creeping along the dark corridor. He sighed exasperatedly, shaking his head. "Em, is this one of your mind jokes? Come on, what's going on?"
He was walking barefoot, and Jesse didn't realize this until he stepped on a piece of broken glass. He gave a yell of surprise, and saw blood on the floor, his foot stinging. The glass had cut deep in his skin but Jesse didn't care. For now, he was worried where the others were, and what the hell was going on.
He kept walking, creeping out of the deserted, dark hallway that led to their rooms. It was so dark, he couldn't see much. He was finding his way about when his foot hit something hard, but not so hard.
And then, quite suddenly, as if intending for him to see what he wanted to see, the lights came back on.
The whole Sanctuary was flooded in bright white light. And the sight that greeted Jesse was much worse than what he expected. The whole Sanctuary was ruined. The computer had been smashed into bits, and when he looked in Adam's lab, everything was broken into pieces.
But that wasn't what worried Jesse.
"Emma!" he cried out as he recognized the form of Emma, lying on the floor. A pool of blood surrounded her head. Jesse bent down and felt for a pulse. "Come on," he half-whispered, half-screamed. But there was nothing.
"No!" Jesse's voice reverberated all around the Sanctuary, his angst apparent. He stared back at Emma, caressing her face. There was a gash on her neck that had killed her.
And not far from her, Jesse saw Brennan, and Shalimar. Both lying side by side, also not moving. Jesse saw burnt marks all over Shalimar, and Brennan too. Jesse guessed as much that Brennan tried to shield Shalimar from the fire, but it was no use.
"This can't be happening!" Jesse yelled, his voice breaking. He cradled Emma in his arms, the tears flowing down his cheeks. He wasn't there for her. Shalimar had Brennan but she.Emma.didn't have him. Damn it all! He cared for her, so much. Shalimar always had Brennan, ever since they got together two months ago, but he and Emma.they.he never.
He never had the courage to tell her how he felt. He cared for her so much.
"Heartbreaking, isn't it?"
Jesse felt someone standing over him. He knew without having to turn around that this was the man who had killed all his friends. Two pairs of hands grabbed him from behind but Jesse didn't fight, he gave himself in, as two guards lifted him up, away from Emma, Brennan and Shalimar, all dead.
He was taken in what used to be the lab. Jesse saw Adam, tied to a chair, his whole face bleeding. At least, Adam was still alive, he realized.
And with a surge of anger, Jesse realized that he had to help Adam. He couldn't just do nothing and stand aside, letting these people kill Adam. He looked back at Emma, wishing there was something Adam could do to save them. He took a deep breath and phased.
But nothing happened.
"It's no use Mr. Kilmartin," a voice said laughing evilly.
Jesse tried again. He had to do something to save Mutant X, even if it was only him and Adam that was left now. He couldn't watch these people ruin all they've worked hard for.
Still, nothing happened.
The two guards dragged Jesse over to a chair, chaining him there, with his hands behind him. A blindfold was placed over his eyes, and the next thing he knew, a knife was plunged in his right arm. He gave a cry of pain.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" the same voice remarked, a tone of amusement in his voice. "I couldn't think of any better way to torture you. Well, I tried to torture all the others but they put too much of a fight, you see. I'm so glad that you are different."
Jesse struggled against the chains that was tying him in. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice echoing.
"Now, now," the voice replied, chuckling gleefully. "Why should I tell you?"
And again, Jesse felt the painful tip of a knife slicing through his arm. He could feel blood pouring out, and his head throbbed. Everything was painful - what he had seen, what he felt, and what he was feeling now. "Is Adam still alive?"
No one answered.
"Adam?" Jesse called hurriedly. "Are you alright?" he asked, ignoring the pain.
"He won't talk," the voice said once more, but his tone was serious. "He's gone now, Mr. Kilmartin. It seems like you're the only surviving member of Mutant X."
"Noooooooo!" Jesse screamed, thrashing in his chair and struggling against the chains, rattling against metal. "This can't be happening!" he cried out squeezing his eyes shut, and praying. "This is not happening!" he said once more.
"It is happening, Jesse," the voice said.
And then when Jesse opened his eyes, the bodies of Adam, Brennan, Shalimar and Emma were all lying in front of him. Their eyes were open, and they stared openly at him, as if they were still alive. But Jesse knew that they were dead.
His head dropped down, in surrender. "I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice full of anguish. "I'm so sorry," he repeated as his voice broke, and tears fell down his cheeks.
