The wind was blowing hard and his jacket flapped around himself. His body tensed with a constant tug at the edge of his mind. Telling him something wasn't right. "Shalimar?" he called out.
The place was empty.
"Aw…look whose all grown up."
Jesse turned behind him. "Who the hell are you?" he demanded from the suit clad red head. She looked familiar.
She sighed. "You people have such short memories for teenagers."
He frowned.
"Remember about 3 years ago, you encountered your first G.S.A?"
It couldn't be.
She continued. "A young rash woman, eager to please her superior became a tutor to e very confused but special boy."
No. It's her.
She walked closer. "Well…she had special powers too, but she was inexperience and used her powers too many times and too much, causing that young boy to be immune to her mind holding gifts."
She may look different, but it's her.
Lamel.
"Where's Shalimar?" he was worried and afraid of what this mutant could have done to his friend, but he needed to hide that fact. He couldn't let her know how he felt. Not with the possibility that Shalimar was in her hands.
She smiled and icy cold smile. "But than she wanted revenge, because that one boy nearly ended her career and her life." She completely ignored him. "A certain Mr. Eckhart wanted to, but that young woman used her powers. Lucky for her it, worked. So she waited until she could make up for it. And today is that day." She made a small cackling like laugh that made the end of Jesse's hairs stand. "Remember me Jesse?"
Her singsong way of talking brought goose bumps to his skin. "What have you done with her?" he hissed, his words almost lost in the strong wind. "If you harm her you bitc-."
She made a clucking noise with her tongue. "Mr. Kilmartin…a good looking thing like you needn't resort to such profanities." She motioned with her finger. "Just turn behind."
Jesse followed her gaze and landed on Shalimar. "Shalimar!!!" he called out, but her eyes stared back emptily.
"Shalimar…?"
Slowly, she walked towards him. But instead of a greeting, she slapped across his face. Jesse's cheeks stung at her strike. Before he could ask why, she flashed her feral eyes at him and lashed out a kick at him. Jesse flew back a good ten feet before landing on his end, knocking his breath out of his lungs.
She was under Lamel's control.
"Listen to me Shal. It's me Jesse…" he tried reasoning to her. He knew it won't work but he couldn't think of any other way.
Shalimar jumped into the air and landed on Jesse. She looked straight into him; her eyes were nothing but cold brown orbs.
"Shal-."
She silenced him with a punch to his left cheek, than the right. She continued until Jesse finally blocked her with his arms and phased, moving away from her. As his density returned, Jesse was on all fours forcing air into his lungs. He could hear Shalimar hiss at his sudden move, her temper flaring. The last thing Jesse wanted to do was to fight her. But it was obvious that she didn't have the same idea. He stood up and looked at her, wild and out of control. Jesse shook his head as his eyesight blurred, he realized he ha d a bruised cheek and the taste of blood filled his mouth. His chest didn't feel any better.
"I think that ferals are my current favorite mutants. Don't you agree?" Lamel interjected, enjoying this from afar, her voice laced with sarcasm.
He glared at her as she laughed. But he had Shalimar to worry about. She stood in front of him as Jesse backed away, than all of a sudden she twirled and kicked Jess in the face and in a split second bent down and tripped him. This was too fast for Jesse and he couldn't react in time. Shalimar wrapped her arms around his neck, his back against her. Her grip on his neck was tight and almost lethal.
"Shalimar…this isn't you. Snap out of it." Blood trickled down from the cut on his cheek. He guessed it must have happened when she kicked him.
"It's no use Jesse. She' under my control now and does only what I say." She came an inch away from his face. The same perfume she had always worn suddenly making him sick to the stomach. "You always my favorite student." She kissed him on the forehead and backed away, joining another 3 G.S.A. "Be a nice Kitty cat Shalimar and finish him."
Suddenly Jesse couldn't get any air. Shalimar's grip was too strong and it was getting stronger. "Shalimar. Don't-." he rasped. "You're stronger than this. Fight it." Black spots danced in front of him, the pressure from his ears blocking out all other sounds. "Shalimar-." He whispered once more.
No…why?
Shalimar…
