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 [again and always]*** the chapters "When the Torture Begins" and "The Continuity of it All" is basically just under chapter three, and the title of that is "Succumbing to it." Something went wrong every time I uploaded that chap.3, and it was always uploaded only in half, not the whole chapter. So I just cut that chapter into two parts [Jesse and Emma's nightmare] and gave each part a different title. Get it? Anyway, that was just to clear things up. Some of you might get confused, and if you do, just review and ask me. =) How am I doing?

Chapter 7 - Insanity Begins The Demise
When Emma opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was black. The sky above her was black. But it was a different kind of black. It was like nothing was even there. Emma was lying down and she pushed herself up, and when she stood up, she nearly fell down. Her heart was in her throat as she stared at what she was standing on.
Nothing.
"Oh my God," she whispered to herself as she surveyed her surroundings. There was nothing around her. Just empty space. But how could she stand up? Why wasn't she falling down?
Emma took a deep shaky breath, and stepped forward. She half-expected to fall but she didn't. It was like she was standing on something, except she could see nothing. She bent down and touched where the floor was supposed to be. She was shocked to see that her hand didn't touch anything, and it went past her foot.
It was strange. She was standing on something but when she tried to touch whatever it was she was standing on, her hand only touch air. Emma's heart was beating fast. The idea of being blind so abruptly came to her, and she began groping around as if expecting to touch something.
But there was nothing.
"Jesse?" she called. "Adam? Brennan? Shalimar?"
It was weird. There was no light, and yet she could see. Or at least, she thought she could see something. But it was all nothing. "What is going on?" she asked herself. "Hello? Is anybody here?" she called again in a louder voice. She expected to hear a echo, but she didn't. It was like her voice went out from her mouth and was gone.
She didn't know what else to do except to continue walking. She realized that there was probably an end to all of this. But that didn't get her hopes up. It terrified her. The whole place terrified her. She could see, she could breath but she couldn't touch anything. She couldn't even hear her own voice.
She took off her jacket and dropped it on the ground. This was going to be her mark. If she sees her jacket again, then she knows she's been walking around in circles. And she continues walking.
Emma didn't have a watch with her, but she knew it must've been hours. At least, it felt like hours. For all she knew, it was probably only a few minutes. But she kept on walking, looking around, looking for a sign of something else. And then she saw something black that stood out from its surroundings.
With a great surge of hope, Emma rushed forward but slowed to a walk when she saw it was only her jacket. Her heart plummeted down to the floor, or to whatever it was she was standing on. She started running away from her jacket and it was only a few seconds when she saw it lying before her. She ran in the opposite direction.
Still, she saw her jacket.
It was useless. She couldn't escape, whatever this place was. "Hello, anyone there?" she called again, in another attempt. Finally, she decided to talk to her friends telepathically. First she tried Adam, but she couldn't find him anywhere. It was like he was in another universe, so far away. The same was with Shalimar and Brennan.
"Where are you guys?" she muttered, her eyes closed, concentrating. Lastly, she tried Jesse. She tried to sense where he was, and she found him. She tried talking to him, in his mind, and with a jerk, her eyes flew open.
And then, for the first time, she could see something before her.
"Jesse!" she cried out, standing up and rushing to him. But when she tried to touch him, her hand simply went through him as if he were a hologram. Up close, she could see he was crying. She could see the blood in his face, and she gasped. "Jesse, who did this?"
And just as she asked her question, he let out a roar of fury.
Emma saw blood on his arms, and realized someone was torturing him. "Jesse! Where are you?" she cried out to him. "I can help you!" But he didn't show any sign that he could hear her. Was this real or was it just a dream? An image she could see?
"Jesse, talk to me! Listen to me, you have to let me help you," Emma said, bending down and staring up at the face of Jesse, the blood mingled with his tears. "Where are you?" she whispered, tears falling down her cheek. She could hear him screaming in pain, and it tore her heart. "Jesse!"
And then suddenly, he looked up. "Emma?"
Emma gasped, and moved closer to him. "Jesse? I'm here, I'm right beside you."
"Where?" he asked, looking around. "I can't see you."
"No, Jesse, I'm here. I know you can't see me but I can see you," Emma said.
"No, you're not real," Jesse said firmly, shutting his eyes. "Please leave me alone. Stop this. I've already lost all my friends, I don't need you to haunt my memories and play tricks with my mind."
Emma shook her head. "No, Jesse, I'm real. This is real, I'm not playing tricks."
Jesse hung his head. "But Emma, you're dead."
Emma stared at Jesse in shock. She shook her head vigorously. "No, that's not true, Jesse. That's not true," she whispered just as Jesse started fading away. "Jesse! It's not true! Don't believe that! Jesse, I'm still alive! Jesse! Listen to me!"
But he was gone. She could no longer see him. And when she tried to talk to Jesse again, a pain in her head exploded. It hurt so bad that Emma screamed. It was like her head was splitting into two. "Stop it!" she exclaimed, clutching her head, tears running down her face.
But the pain only intensified.
Jesse never saw her. He didn't even believe Emma was still alive. Someone was playing tricks in his mind, making him hope it was all not real. But it was real. He could feel the pain, and he saw his friends die, all of them. And he was going to die too. He knew that.
They were going to kill him.
Only they thought it was funny to torture him. And much more torture was hearing Emma's voice, telling him she could help him and that she was right beside him. That she was real. But Jesse didn't believe her. He was dead he knew that. They killed her too. He watched helplessly as they killed her too.
"Emma," he whispered her name, shakily.
It was all too late. He couldn't save his friends. He couldn't save himself. He was going to die, he knew that now. He was going to die.
Mutant X is no more.
