Chapter 2
Then all of a sudden...I can feel Scott grabbing a hold on me and taking me out of his car.Then
there's a huge explosion as the car is burst into flames by something.It looks like it was torn apart
in two peices from what I can see from the flames and smoke.He puts me down as I continue to
look at the car that's now about to be smuthered out by the dust and wind.Then Magneto makes a
grand entrance by flying right next to me.He glares at me as I glare back just as angerily."You've
caused alot of problems, Emily.",says Magneto as I unleash my 'powers' (as Professor Xavier &
his friends say that I have) towards Magneto.He flies back shocked as Scott moves his glasses
off of his eyes.Two beams of red lights hit Magneto as I'm shocked that he'd actaully do this is at
a concert place.But oh well I'm doing the same thing..."Elements, help me.I ask that Magneto be
sent to where he came from.Earth, Air, Fire, Water, call upon thee!So mote it be!",I say as
Magneto starts to look around himself.Then a bright white surrounds his body and then he
vanishes.After he disappears...Scott puts his glasses back on I notice as he looks shocked."How
did you know where to send him, Emily?",asks Scott as I'm starting to get a major headache from
all of the energy that I used up."I didn't.The elements did all of that.Can we go get something to
eat?All of that magick used up alot of my energy so now I'm really hungry.",I say as Scott nods
calmly.We walk towards a local fast food place.
At the fast food joint...alot of people stare at me
as I eat really quickly.I guess that I must be eating like there's no tomorrow but I wouldn't seem to
mind the stares if only the hairs on my neck would stop standing straight up.After I finish my
burger, large fries wit alot of ketchup and a large dessert shake...I throw away my food as I continue
to drink my shake happily."Scott, you need to use your other senses then your 5 senses.I don't
like doing all of the work.",I say as Scott looks at me confused.This is going to be hard to
explain to him, I can tell already on his face."How many other senses are there, Emily?",asks Scott
very confused as I slurp the last of my shake and set it down on the table quietly."Your gut feelings
basically, Scott.When you feel people staring at you, the hairs on the back of your neck stand
straight up.Whenever you are in a bad place and you suddenly get goosebumps when it's the
hottest day of the year.",I say as Scott nods but he still doesn't get it."Okay, Emily.",says Scott
unsure of how to please me.We both take the bus to the school as Professor Xavier and Logan are
both waiting by the front door."Where were you too?Scott we didn't hear your car pull up.What
happened?",asks Professor Xavier concerned as a fatherly figure is what he reminds me of."We
went to a concert after we got Emily some school clothes.Then Magneto showed up and Emily
made Magneto completely disappear.It was simply amazing, Professor you should have....seen
it.",says Scott but he stops when he sees me glaring at him dangerously."Emily, what's wrong?Did
Scott say something wrong?",asks Professor Xavier as he notices me too."Those are my magickal
powers, Scott.They aren't something to be shared with.Got it?I'm going to my room.",I say angerily
as I run towards my room.I shut my door quietly as I lock it behind me instantly.
Some habits
never die.I get on the wooden floor & sit into an indian style that they taught me at the orphange.I close
my eyes as I try to think of how angry I am at Scott Summers and other stuff that's been happening
to me.I completely visualize a metal safe and lock all of those thoughts in there tightly.After that...I think
of nothing and then just as I'm about to feel totally relaxed.I hear a knock on the door and then
somebody trying to open my locked door.I open my eyes as my head starts to hurt really bad because
I was broken from my relaxation unnaturally (or being disturbed without knowing it)."Open up, it's
me, Logan.",says a male voice as I check out with my senses just in case.I nod and unlock the door
slowly."Why?",I ask before I open the door for him."Just let me in, Emily.",says Logan gruffly as
I can tell that he's trying to be nice but it sounds really rude.I open the door for him as he walks
into my room.I sit down on my bed calmly as I try to make my headache go away."Okay I know
that you're different from the rest of us and not to mention that you're new to all of this working with a
group....",says Logan as I just nod silently."I'm going to ignore that you said the first part but go
on.",I say as Logan smiles slyly."Yeah, but we're kind of like a strange mixed up bunch of people
that have to learn to like each other.So what I'm trying to say is welcome to our family.So
welcome to our family, Emily.",says Logan as I nod."Thanks Logan.Could Professor Xavier help
me find my biological family?I never knew them and I haven't had much help from the world because of
my age.",I say as Logan looks surprised that I actually said anything about my parents that I never
knew but he hides it well."Sure, he has this cool machine that can track people down easily since
they got your blood earil..er...",says Logan as I nod firmly."Yeah, I remember that.That's when I
first met Magneto and Mystic the shape shifting sluet.",I say as Logan laughes quietly and then he gets
up."Well I'll let you get back to your stuff.Bye.",says Logan as I nod and he leaves.He shuts the
door and then I get into my bed.The next morning...I'm woken up by someone as I open my eyes and
see Professor Xavier looking at me."Morning Emily.Are you ready to find your parents with
Cerebrium?",says P.X. quietly as I nod sleeply.I get up and put my slippers on that I bought with my
magick money too.
P.X. takes us inside a hidden elevator as he pushes a button that's marked with a
large 'B'.Once the elevator stops...we are walking/pushing along as I remember that this is the area
where the Danger Room is located.He shows me to a place where there's a huge metal looking X
shaped letter on the door.He wheels up to it as a blue light flashes in his left eye.The door opens
easily as it welcomes the Professor Xavier warmly.I go into it quickly before it slams shut on me.
Inside...I see a huge computer screen that has alot of keyboard keys on the huge keyboard. P.X.
presses some buttons and puts a vial of red blood into a hole of the computer.My blood goes into
the computer as it suddenly says,"Emily Willow.Powers: controlling elements that are air, fire,
water and earth by visualising their powers.Parents: unknown..beep...beep....searching.......
searching....FOUND.Mary & Dave Willow.Killed by house burning down in 1982.The last living
relative: Emily Willow.No known family members found.".After the computer stops talking..."I'm
sorry about that, Emily.",says P.X. as I nod numbly."Does it say where the house is located?",I
ask as P.X. nods firmly and starts typing some more."1215 Cedar Lane.Richmond, Virginia.It has
been rebuilt but it detects a box that's still there underneath the poarch.Nobody lives there now,
Emily.",reads P.X. as I nod and write down the address with a pen and paper that I make appear in my
hand by using my powers."Thanks Professor Xavier.Can I skip school today and take a field trip on
my own today?",I say as Professor Xavier shakes his head."No, it's too dangerous for you to go
alone without anyone to go with you.You'll have to wait until I can find someone to take you, Emily.",
says Professor Xavier as I nod angerily and go back to my room.Inside...'He can't tell me what to
do.He's not my parents.They died...I plan on finding that box that's buried underneath the poarch
tonight.',I say to myself as I get some warm clothes together into my old suitcase.I change out of
my p.j.'s and into some warm clothes.Once I have everything ready...I open the window and grab my
suitcase with one hand as I schimmy down using the drain pipe that's near my window.Once I'm
down...I easily make it through the gates without any problems.I throw my bag over the gate and then
I climb up it and over.I jump down and pick up my suitcase as I try and locate the nearest bus stop
station.A few miles & alot of blisters on my feet later...I find the bus station as I buy a one way
ticket to Richmond, Virginia.I see the bus coming up next to me as I get on once it stops and opens
it's doors.I find a seat that's near the back and there's a whole 2 seats for me.I put my suitcase next
to the empty seat as I wait for the bus to start driving now.
I see a guy wearing a leather black
jacket and his hair looks very fimilar.He always scowls as it suddenly hits me....that's Logan and he's
following me.He spots me and sits next to a row that's next to mine and finds an empty seat next to
mine but it's a walk way apart."Hey Emily.What are you doing here?I thought that you were in
bed.",says Logan casually but I know that he's trying to act like nothing has happened."Very
funny, Logan.I'm going to find a box that belongs to me.",I say annoyed as Logan nods."That's
cool.Mind if I join you?",says Logan as I think about it and then shrug."I'm guessing that Professor
Xavier sent you to check up on me.",I say as Logan nods firmly."Yeah, but he was having a hard
time tracking you because you didn't use your powers so I had to use my own powers.",says Logan
as he points to his nose."Super smell, cool.",I say as he nods firmly and relaxes into his seat.I sense
somebody staring at me as I turn around to see this teen boy staring at me hard.He smiles at me
causally but I don't like the feeling that I'm getting from him."It's rude to stare.",I hiss angerily as
the guy glares at me."So it's a free country.",says the guy as he gets up from his seat and walks
over towards mine.Logan glares at him and says,"Move it, pal.She doesn't want to talk to you.".
"Are you her dad or something?At least she doesn't have the bad hair like you.Man, haven't you
ever heard of a normal hair style?",asks the teenage guy as Logan is about to unleash his claws from in
between his knuckles.I shake my head as he makes them stop from coming out."Leave us alone.",
I hiss icely as the guy goes back to his seat quickly.After he leaves...Logan glares at the guy and
then looks straight ahead."Thanks for stopping me earlier with that punk.",mumbles Logan as I nod.
"No prob.I've had to deal with creeps like that at the orphange.",I say calmly as I move my suitcase
and sit in the next seat.I put my suitcase next to my feet as Logan sits in the aisle seat while I take
the window seat.I snuggle into my coat as a bird would to get comfortable.Once I'm
comfortable...I go to sleep quickly but my senses are always alert.A few hours later...the bus
suddenly stops as I hit my head on the back of the metal seat....wait did I just say metal?He's here
as Logan gets out his claws quickly."Stay here, Emily.",growls Logan as the bus is seriously
ripped like it was tissue paper everywhere around us.Only our row is left as the living people run
for cover out of the bus.Death is around us as I can sense the pain and the terror that the innonce
people had to go throught.
"Well well if it's Logan.I have a friend for you to meet.You probably
know him...Sabertooth, attack.",says Magneto as Sabertooth grabs Logan from out of his seat.I
take off my necklace quickly since that's how he usually gets a hold of me.I put it on the floor
angerily as I glare at him dangerously.Even Sabertooth looks at me suspiciously but Logan uses
his claws to get his enemy in the stomach.Sabertooth roars painfully as they seriously duke it out.
Magneto uses his powers and takes my necklace to his surprise.He looks at it more closely and then
at me."You know me too well, Emily.That's good though.You can be a valueble ally in the band
of Brotherhood.",says Magneto as he throws my necklace out onto the street.I hear it *crunch* and
then a soft *crack* as a huge semi truck runs over it."For the last time, I'm not joining for stupid
group of power hungry misfits, Magneto.You can forget it okay?Call off your gaint pet cat or else
I will.",I hiss angerily as Magneto nods and calls Sabertooth back to him."Sabertooth, do you think
that you can take on this misfit?",asks Magneto as he nods firmly."Piece of cake, master.",growls
Sabertooth as he charges towards me but Logan gets in front of me.Logan then gets thrown by
Sabertooth as he lands in the middle of the street.I don't look for him because I have more things to
deal with now.I get into my fighting stance as Sabertooth uses his cat like powers.I jump onto his
claws easily as I get onto his head.Perfect I found his third eye once I'm on his shoulders.
Sabertooth's claws are scratching my legs as I can feel the immense pain but I try my hardest to
ignore it.I think of my hand as a fist of pure fire energy.I punch him my hardest as he passes out.I
get off of his back just as he lands with a large *thud*.The back of my legs are seriously cut up
pretty badly as Magneto glares at me hard."How did you beat Sabertooth?",asks Magneto angerily
as I smile at him slyly."That's for me to know & for you to never find out.",I say as he nods.He
tries to get inside my head but I block him out as he glares at me harder."You are the most
annoying teenager that I have ever met, Emily.We will meet again.",says Magneto as I nod and glare
at my pain.I press one of my palms on each one of my legs as I imagine a green light that's healing
my scratches that Sabertooth did a number on.Once they are all healed and I can finally get up
easily...I see Logan jumping back into the torn up bus as he hands me something.One part is the
necklace part & few other parts are the broken pieces of my necklace that was worn around my
necklace.I look at it as it suddenly comes together by yellow, blue, green & red, lights that glow
around the broken peices.
After it stops glowing...I put back on as Logan looks at it causiously.
"You didn't do that, did you?",asks Logan as he goes back to his tough guy attitude."No, but it's
pretty freaky.I'm guessing that my parents had powers like mine too.I think that my parents house
was sent on purpose for some reason & I want to find out why after I find that box that's under
their porch.",I say calmly as we walk towards a hotel.I hold onto my suitcase as Logan pays for
a room for us.In our room...I put my stuff down near my huge bed in my bedroom as Logan sits
on the couch that turns out into a bed.People seem to think that we are just family members on
vacation but I don't look anything like him.I guess that it's my attitude that I give off.It's almost
like Logan's except with more attitude if that's even possible.Nah, it's not.I changed my mind."This
is nice, Logan.Thanks.",I say as Logan nods & I check out my bedroom and the only one bathroom.
"No prob.I need the sleep from that idiot Sabertooth.",says Logan as I nod."Magneto's a pain in
the butt too.",I say annoyed as Logan nods."Metal is what he uses against us & unfortunately I'm
made out of a metal skeleton from what Professor Xavier told me awhile back.",says Logan as I'm
surprised but I kind of figured that out on my own with the claws coming back and forth when they
didn't hurt that badly."Yeah, he likes to use my necklace against me because it's made out of metal
too.",I say as Logan nods.I go to my room that has two sliding wooden doors.I shut my doors
quietly as I take my stuff out.I change into my p.j.'s and crawl into the bed quickly.Too bad it's
really cold outside or else this would be fun.I fall asleep quickly though as I hear Logan trying to
get the couch to fold into a bed.The next day...I wake up and see that Logan's still asleep snoring
loudly.I get up out of my bed and grab the other hotel key.I go downstairs and get me some breakfast.
Once I load up on mini muffins of all kinds and some coffee in a styrofoam cup with a lid.I walk
upstairs careful not to spill any of the coffee on me.Luckily I made it up without any trouble and
unlock the door with my powers when nobody's looking since my hands are kind of filled up with the
tray.I open the door and walk in as the door shuts automatically behind me.I set the tray on the table
and start eating the muffins and drinking the coffee slowly.Man, coffee tastes good in the cold
mornings but I'd prefer herbal tea.The muffins were very good too especially the poppy seed
muffins and the lemon muffins.I throw away the trash and leave out 1 of each for Logan in case he's
hungry for something.Then I take a shower and lock the door to the bathroom.
After my shower...I
dry my hair and brush my teeth.When I'm done cleaning up...I come out and change into my clothes
that I brought with me.Finally Logan wakes up and eats all of the muffins.I brush my semi-dry hair and
blot it until it's a bit better.I put my brush back into my suitcase as I get my stuff back into my
suitcase.I watch TV while Logan gets ready to leave the hotel.After he's done...he checks us out
of the hotel and then we get a taxi to the address that I wrote down from Professor Xavier's
computer gave me.At 1215 Cedar Lane...Logan pays for the tip as the taxi driver leaves us there.
Supposedly the locals think that this house is haunted by the family that died.I find out from the
driver that my parents died because the fire was set dilberally by witch hunters from the neighborhood
along time ago.They broke into the house and tied them both up to their beds as they put gasoline
in every part of the house.Then one of them light a match and threw it once the creeps were out the
house safely.Nobody came to put out the fire and they all let the house burn to the ground.Heartless
people but things haven't changed much.I look at the house and I can hear their screams as the fire
engulfs it even if it has been rebuilt.I walk up to the porch and dig underneath it easily.I crawl
underneath the porch and see alot of leaves that have been here.Alot of them are burnt & crack
easily as I cast out my powers until I feel something glowing bright colors.I dig very fast until my
fingernails hit something wooden.I dig around it until I can pull out the thing that's been buried at
the bottom of the earth.I drag it with me as I realise that it's a chest that has a rusted lock on it.I use
my fire power to melt the rest of it off but not damaging the chest itself.The chest opens as a
bunch of bright lights like the ones that healed my necklace go inside of my necklace that glows
brightly of different colors.Once the lights stop glowing...I sense something about to come in front
of me.It's a man and a woman that look alot like me.They both smile at me as the woman is
standing next to the chest."We knew that you would find this chest.Before we died we put the last
of our powers into this chest along w/ our things.These things are yours to own.We'll be watching
over you, Emily.",says the woman as they both start to disappear.
I look at the chest to find a
bunch of necklaces, thousands of candles & candle holders, a beautiful robe that looks like it's in
my size, an athame, a wand, alot of different colored yarn and different colored fabrics, books that
they must have used to read, bottles and bottles of dried herbs and different kinds of oils, bath salts
and soaps that are all like they were just newly made.Logan just watches me as I close the chest.
Logan carries the chest as we get bus tickets back to Manchester, NY.A few days later...We arrive
at the school as Logan pays the taxi.The gate opens up as we go to the front of the school.I can
see that everybody's wondering what happened and why I left so suddenly.Logan puts my chest in
my room quietly and then walks out without saying anything.After he leaves...I look through the chest
and make these things my own by putting my own energy into the these gifts from my parents.I take
out a book and then I put the chest in my closet away from prying eyes.I notice that the book is a
training guide for beginning Wiccans.After reading for a few minutes...My head hurts from reading
all of that so I take a nap.I put the book on my night stand carefully.When I wake up...I realise that
it's next morning and I get up.I grab a bite to eat and then I get my stuff together to go to school.Kurt
and the others walk with me as they ask me alot of stupid questions about why I left so late and why.
Rogue rolls her eyes towards them as I nod silently.At the school...I get my schedule as I find my
classes easily.I put my stuff in my locker as I get my books that I need and sit in an empty seat next
to Rogue.She's really cool and we sit together away from the 'weirdos' that she calls the popular kids
that tell people off for no good reason.I like to think that they do it because they have some insecurity
issues as Rogue agrees with me there."So how was it when you left the school?Did you meet up with
Magneto again?",asks Rogue as I tell her exactly what happened and I do mean
everything...including what Sabertooth did to me while Logan was busy dogding traffic.After I
finish...I real quick eat my lunch and drink my soda casaully."Yeah, they can be real jerks
sometimes.So do you like anyone at the school, Emily?",says Rogue as I nod embarressingly.
"Who?I promise that I won't tell.",says Rogue as I trust her and tell her that I like Kurt."Does he
know that you do?",asks Rogue as I shrug."I've never asked him.Do you think so?",I say as
Rogue nods firmly."Do you want me to go ask the guys of the group that know Kurt?I'll be really
smooth about it.",asks Rogue as I nod and then we go back to our other 3 classes.
After school...I
see this guy that looks kind of like a punk kid and he has long brown hair (well for a teenage guy
anyways) that's down to his shoulders.He's spray painting on the wall that Ms. Raven Claw sucks.
I don't like that female principal.She gives me the creeps and I always get goosebumps when I was
in her office to get my schedule.I'm surprised that I haven't gotten a cold from her room yet.
Rogue told me that her office is very warm like a sauna so now I'm really confused.
Ms. Raven Claw about freaked out when I sneezed in front of her but I covered my mouth.Her
aura was very clear like Magneto's & Mystic's.Maybe she's Magneto dressed up as a woman
principal.I imagine Magneto wearing a girly dress end up laughing so much that my eyes are
watering.The guy with the spray can looks at me oddily as I tell him that I was just thinking about
something very funny that I saw on TV.He continues spraying other words on the brick wall now.
I suddenly sense a car coming up towards me as I see Scott driving a new blue sports car with very
nice crome wheel covers."Come on Emily.Let's take you home.",says Scott happily as I nod and
get inside the nice new car.A few minutes later...Scott parks the car and I grab my backpack as I get
out of the car."Thanks Magneto for getting me this new car.",says Scott happily as I don't say
anything."So how was school today?",asks Scott curiously as I wonder if he's feeling alright."It
was fine.Boring teachers.I already have homework to do.",I say calmly as he nods and goes into the
house from the garage.I walk up to my room where I see Kurt standing in front of my door."Hey
Kurt.Waz up?",I say as he smiles."Nothing much.Do you have homework to do?",says Kurt
calmly."Yeah, it sucks.",I say as Kurt nods."Do you want to go out with me after you finish your
homework?Scott says that it's cool if we take the X-Van.",asks Kurt embarressedly as I nod
happily."Sure, that'd be cool.Do you know how to drive & all?",I say as Kurt nods happily.
"Yeah, I just got it a month ago.Don't you, Emily?",says Kurt as I shake my head."No, the
orphange just didn't have enough money to pay cars for everybody.",I say as Kurt nods."I'll
teach you how to drive, Emily.What do you say?",says Kurt as I shrug."I'll think about it.See ya
later.",I say as I finish my homework in no time.I go down to the kitchen to get myself a snack and
a soda when I see a girl that's 3 years younger than me.She walks through the fridge and then comes
out with a plate of microwaved food.She pops it in the microwave and then sees me there."Hey
Emily.I didn't see you there.Do you want some?",says the girl as I shake my head."Nah, go ahead.
Is there any junkfood here?",I say as she nods and points to one of the cabinets.
"Yeah, there should
be a box of Milky Ways if Spyke hasn't eaten them all.",says the girl as I check and sure enough
there are a few of the candy bars left.I grab a few minis and grab myself a Root Beer from the fridge.
I inhale minis and then drink my Root Beer quickly."That was good.Thanks for the tip, Kitty.",I say
as I finally remember the girl's name."No problem, Emily.",says Kitty as the microwave dings and
she grabs the plate.It's too hot for her and is about to drop it if I hadn't had used the air power to
catch it.Kitty looks at the plate amazed as I set it down on the counter carefully."Great save,
Emily.That could have been a waste if it fell down.Next time I'll use the oven mits.",says Kitty
sheepishly as I nod happily."No prob, Kitty.",I say as she grabs the oven mits and carries the plate
over to the table with her silverware in her mouth.I throw away the trash and go wait on Kurt.I see him
in the garage getting the X-Van ready."Hey Kurt.You ready?",I say as he looks up at me and nods
happily.Kurt drives up towards a outlook that views the city beautifully.All of the city lights are
shining like stars."You look really nice tonight, Emily.",says Kurt as I blush brightly at that
comment."Thanks Kurt.",I say calmly as he nods.Then we just look to one another as he lends in
and kisses me on the lips.It seemed alot longer than a few seconds but it was a wonderful
experience for being kissed for the first time.Kurt smiles widely."So I guess that this means that
we're a couple now, huh Emily?",says Kurt curiously as I nod happily.
"Yeah, I guess so.",I say
happily as he puts his arm around my shoulder.After a few minutes of comfortable silent...He
takes me to this new club that just opened up a few days ago.At the club...We go inside and it's
nothing like the nightclub where I usually went to when I lived at the orphange.There's tencho
music and people aren't even drunk or high.It's like the club took everything that was interesting and
turns it to all mushy 70's Love and peace happiness type stuff.I mean don't get me wrong.I have
nothing against love and harmony but it's just...sicking to watch them act all happy all of the time.
Sometimes I feel as if I don't belong here in this place or even at the school.I keep on telling
myself that all I need is to adjust but it hasn't helped much.I still have only one friend and now a
great looking boyfriend.Still....I snap out of talking to myself when I feel someone tapping me on
the shoulder."Hey do you wanna dance with me, Emily?",asks Kurt as I nod and we jam to the techno
music that plays it really fast.I move my hips side to side as Kurt looks really impressed at my
style of dance.It's not sleuthy or anything..so don't go there...it just looks cool seeing it up close
like watching a movie."Where did you learn how to do this kind of techno dance, Emily?",asks
Kurt as I'm very confused now.What's he talking about?This is how I always dance.Nothing
different has happened to me."I just moved to the music.",I say calmly as Kurt takes it and
continues dancing with me until the music stops.We take an empty table and sit down to relax.Kurt
gets us both bottled waters as I look around at the club.Strobe lights going on and off quickly in
one area, people dancing rather sexy for their age and that same guy that I saw spray painting at
school.He sees me and sits next to me as if he owned the entire world.He gives off this feeling as
being too much of a hot shot and a real jerk."Hey I haven't seen you here before.Are you new to
Manchester?",says the guy as I ignore him.I can see him staring at me as the hairs on the back of
my neck go straight up."Stop staring, it's rude.",I say annoyed as the feeling wears off quickly.
"How did you know?",asks the guy now very suspicious that I knew."I'm not stupid.",I hiss
angerily.He smiles at that comment & then says,"I saw you getting into that car with that Summers
guy and his wife, Jean.Do you actually hang out with them?"."So what's it to you?",I ask calmly.
"You're pretty cool.You wanna join our group?",says the guy acting more friendly.
"Why?Is it a
cult?Are you a member of radical leader bent on world domination?",I ask sarcastically as the guy
shakes his head."No, nothing like that.It's just a group of us that hangs out to help people.",says
the guy as I shake my head."You're lying.Tell me the truth or else I'm leaving.",I say as I start to
get up slowly.I can sense that the guy is now panicing and is about to explode."Okay fine.Just meet
me here tomorrow night at 6PM and don't be late.I'll explain everything and then you can meet my
friends too.",says the guy as I am now standing up from my chair."I'll think about it.",I say but I
can sense that something's not right with this guy.Kurt sees the guy and the guy runs away from my
table."What were you doing talking to Lance, Emily?He's bad news.Did he ask you any
questions?",asks Kurt as he sounds really worried.He puts down the waters as I take one and open
it easily.I take a drink of the water."He came over and just sat down.I kind of figured that out on my
own.Yeah he asked me if I was new to Manchester and if I would join his group.He said that he
would explain everything to me and then his friends would be over too if I came at 6 PM tomorrow
night.I'm not going and it sounds really fishy, not to mention very stupid.Thanks for taking me out,
Kurt.I had fun and for once I didn't have to use my powers.",I say as Kurt nods and agrees to take
me home.At the school...We get out of the car as Kurt closes the garage door."Maybe we could do
that again sometime, Emily.",says Kurt quietly as I agree and sense somebody watching us.I turn
around and don't sense anybody there."Emily, what are you doing?",asks Kurt confused."I felt
someone watching us.",I say quietly as I see someone breaking a window.A guy that looks like a
toad grabs me as Kurt tries to beat the crap out of him.I'm feel like a rag doll that's being bounced
up and down.As soon as I loose sight of Kurt I am set down in front of a strange house.The sign
reads 'The BrotherHood Boarding House'.'How original.',I say to myself sarcastically as the toad
teen pushes me inside the house.Inside...I see a rather large white male wearing overalls, a white
male wearing a metal suit, a white male with silver hair, Magneto and Mystic in front of me.I get into
my fighting stance when I see Magneto and Mystic.The toad teen is behind me causiously."I'm glad
that you could come to our little house, Willow.",says Magneto calmly as I wonder what he's
going to do with me now."I didn't come here of my own free will, Magneto.",I hiss angerily as the
group of teens are shocked that I would say that to him."You can't talk to Magneto like that,
Willow.",says the metal teenager angerily as he glares at me dangerously.
"Fire, teach him a
lesson.",I say as a bolt of fire comes out of my palm and melts his plastic face covering.He looks
very surprised and quickly takes it off scared."Very good, Willow.",says Magneto calmly as I look
at him confused."That wasn't for your benefit.",I say annoyed as I try to walk away but the toad
teen is standing in my way."Let me pass.",I hiss dangerously as my palm is glowing a red hue
now.The teen toad backs away slowly so that I can pass as Magneto smiles creepily."When you
come back here I will be waiting for that day.",says Magneto evilly as I shake my head."Who says
that I will?",I ask him calmly as I walk out of the house and towards the Professor's school.At the
school...I'm met with Professor Xavier and Logan.I don't look at them as I walk towards my room.
"What happened, Willow?",asks Professor Xavier concerned."I met Magneto and his teen groupies.
They wanted me to join them but I said no in my own way.",I say calmly as Xavier nods firmly.
"You have to be careful with them and with Magneto, Willow.",says Xavier calmly as I nod."I
already knew that, P.X..Did Kurt tell you that I was also kidnapped by one of the groupies.He was
a human toad.Now if you excuse me I'm going to ground and center my energy that I have left over.
Then I'm going to go to bed.",I say calmly as they let me and I walk towards my room quietly.Once
inside my room with the door shut...I turn off the lights and get into my pose to mediate.I close my
eyes and fold my legs as I empty out my head of all of the crap that happened today.I put my hands
on the carpet as all of the extra energy fades away until I feel really sleepy.I get out my indian style
and crawl into my bed as I go to sleep instantly.The next day...I wake to the sound of an alarm
going off as it gets me out of bed sleepily.
I hear somebody bursting into my room as I rub my
sleepy eyes with my hands.As soon as my vision focuses...I can see Scott still in his boxers.
"You'd better have a good excuse as to why you're in my room, Scott.",I say as I yawn slightly.
"Yeah, the Professor's gone & we need to find him now.Somebody came in and took him.Did you
hear anything last night before you went to bed?",says Scott almost in a panic as I shake my head.
"No, I was mediating but I didn't hear anything.",I say calmly."Okay but we need to get the others
to help us.",says Scott as we all soon hear some large trucks come at the school.Me and Scott as
well as the rest of us all check and see what's going on (when we are all dressed).There's a man
standing on a army truck with a bullhorn."Okay mutants.Come out with your hands up.We have
you surrounded.We know who you all of you are.",says the man through his bullhorn loudly as
Scott tells us to all scatter and meet
up at a cave nearby as soon as we all come outside from the building.I get some food ready before
I start running.I put all of it in a huge peice of fabric that's been folded together to make a nice little
basket.I tie a double knot so that it won't undo while I run.I hold my fabric basket under my arm as
I start to bolt for an easy way to the cave but also hard enough for the army to catch up to me.I
leave my chest there because it's too heavy to carry the chest & my basket together.I know that
my parents used their powers to protect it in case it got damaged.It's safe in my closet anyways.I
run towards the route that I already set.The army men are out and are trying to grab us as we run for
the cave that Scott told us to go to.A guy tries to grab me but before he does I put his feet on ice.
He stands there and looks very shocked.Cool, I never thought that I could use ice as part of my
water power.I smile at the guy slyly as I take off again.Dodging and weaving my way towards the
cave but now a group of them are after me.I use the power of air to blow them away but they still
keep on coming.Finally after hiding myself by using the earth to cover a hallowed tree trunk that I
found on my run...I come out after I sensed that the men were gone.
I wipe my jeans off from the
wet leaves & look around.I see a local grocery store & walk towards it.I check out me & don't see
any army guys.'Good.',I say to myself as I open the door & grab a Twinkie for a snack in case I
get sick of junkfood and cereal.I pay for it with my magick money and then I quickly put it in my
fabric bag.The employee doesn't even recongize me from my picture that's been put on the news
which is a good thing because it's been going on 24-7.I get out of the grocery store and continue to
head towards the cave when I hear some guys motion towards me.They're dressed in army
uniforms and they're carrying guns with them."Stop right there, mutant.",says an army man sternly
as I just look at him."Why?What have I done to any of you?",I ask confused but then I hear a loud
motorcycle engine coming straight towards me and the army men.The group scatters out of the way
as the driver takes off his helmet.He throws me one and I hop on the back of it."There's no use
talkin' to these bozos.",says Logan as he hands me an extra helmet.I put it on as Logan quickly puts
his back on before he starts up his motorcycle.I grab onto his waist and hold on for dear life.After
riding in Logan's motorcycle for an hour...he lets me off as I notice that we're in a cave where
Scott told us all to go.
Then all of a sudden...I can feel Scott grabbing a hold on me and taking me out of his car.Then
there's a huge explosion as the car is burst into flames by something.It looks like it was torn apart
in two peices from what I can see from the flames and smoke.He puts me down as I continue to
look at the car that's now about to be smuthered out by the dust and wind.Then Magneto makes a
grand entrance by flying right next to me.He glares at me as I glare back just as angerily."You've
caused alot of problems, Emily.",says Magneto as I unleash my 'powers' (as Professor Xavier &
his friends say that I have) towards Magneto.He flies back shocked as Scott moves his glasses
off of his eyes.Two beams of red lights hit Magneto as I'm shocked that he'd actaully do this is at
a concert place.But oh well I'm doing the same thing..."Elements, help me.I ask that Magneto be
sent to where he came from.Earth, Air, Fire, Water, call upon thee!So mote it be!",I say as
Magneto starts to look around himself.Then a bright white surrounds his body and then he
vanishes.After he disappears...Scott puts his glasses back on I notice as he looks shocked."How
did you know where to send him, Emily?",asks Scott as I'm starting to get a major headache from
all of the energy that I used up."I didn't.The elements did all of that.Can we go get something to
eat?All of that magick used up alot of my energy so now I'm really hungry.",I say as Scott nods
calmly.We walk towards a local fast food place.
At the fast food joint...alot of people stare at me
as I eat really quickly.I guess that I must be eating like there's no tomorrow but I wouldn't seem to
mind the stares if only the hairs on my neck would stop standing straight up.After I finish my
burger, large fries wit alot of ketchup and a large dessert shake...I throw away my food as I continue
to drink my shake happily."Scott, you need to use your other senses then your 5 senses.I don't
like doing all of the work.",I say as Scott looks at me confused.This is going to be hard to
explain to him, I can tell already on his face."How many other senses are there, Emily?",asks Scott
very confused as I slurp the last of my shake and set it down on the table quietly."Your gut feelings
basically, Scott.When you feel people staring at you, the hairs on the back of your neck stand
straight up.Whenever you are in a bad place and you suddenly get goosebumps when it's the
hottest day of the year.",I say as Scott nods but he still doesn't get it."Okay, Emily.",says Scott
unsure of how to please me.We both take the bus to the school as Professor Xavier and Logan are
both waiting by the front door."Where were you too?Scott we didn't hear your car pull up.What
happened?",asks Professor Xavier concerned as a fatherly figure is what he reminds me of."We
went to a concert after we got Emily some school clothes.Then Magneto showed up and Emily
made Magneto completely disappear.It was simply amazing, Professor you should have....seen
it.",says Scott but he stops when he sees me glaring at him dangerously."Emily, what's wrong?Did
Scott say something wrong?",asks Professor Xavier as he notices me too."Those are my magickal
powers, Scott.They aren't something to be shared with.Got it?I'm going to my room.",I say angerily
as I run towards my room.I shut my door quietly as I lock it behind me instantly.
Some habits
never die.I get on the wooden floor & sit into an indian style that they taught me at the orphange.I close
my eyes as I try to think of how angry I am at Scott Summers and other stuff that's been happening
to me.I completely visualize a metal safe and lock all of those thoughts in there tightly.After that...I think
of nothing and then just as I'm about to feel totally relaxed.I hear a knock on the door and then
somebody trying to open my locked door.I open my eyes as my head starts to hurt really bad because
I was broken from my relaxation unnaturally (or being disturbed without knowing it)."Open up, it's
me, Logan.",says a male voice as I check out with my senses just in case.I nod and unlock the door
slowly."Why?",I ask before I open the door for him."Just let me in, Emily.",says Logan gruffly as
I can tell that he's trying to be nice but it sounds really rude.I open the door for him as he walks
into my room.I sit down on my bed calmly as I try to make my headache go away."Okay I know
that you're different from the rest of us and not to mention that you're new to all of this working with a
group....",says Logan as I just nod silently."I'm going to ignore that you said the first part but go
on.",I say as Logan smiles slyly."Yeah, but we're kind of like a strange mixed up bunch of people
that have to learn to like each other.So what I'm trying to say is welcome to our family.So
welcome to our family, Emily.",says Logan as I nod."Thanks Logan.Could Professor Xavier help
me find my biological family?I never knew them and I haven't had much help from the world because of
my age.",I say as Logan looks surprised that I actually said anything about my parents that I never
knew but he hides it well."Sure, he has this cool machine that can track people down easily since
they got your blood earil..er...",says Logan as I nod firmly."Yeah, I remember that.That's when I
first met Magneto and Mystic the shape shifting sluet.",I say as Logan laughes quietly and then he gets
up."Well I'll let you get back to your stuff.Bye.",says Logan as I nod and he leaves.He shuts the
door and then I get into my bed.The next morning...I'm woken up by someone as I open my eyes and
see Professor Xavier looking at me."Morning Emily.Are you ready to find your parents with
Cerebrium?",says P.X. quietly as I nod sleeply.I get up and put my slippers on that I bought with my
magick money too.
P.X. takes us inside a hidden elevator as he pushes a button that's marked with a
large 'B'.Once the elevator stops...we are walking/pushing along as I remember that this is the area
where the Danger Room is located.He shows me to a place where there's a huge metal looking X
shaped letter on the door.He wheels up to it as a blue light flashes in his left eye.The door opens
easily as it welcomes the Professor Xavier warmly.I go into it quickly before it slams shut on me.
Inside...I see a huge computer screen that has alot of keyboard keys on the huge keyboard. P.X.
presses some buttons and puts a vial of red blood into a hole of the computer.My blood goes into
the computer as it suddenly says,"Emily Willow.Powers: controlling elements that are air, fire,
water and earth by visualising their powers.Parents: unknown..beep...beep....searching.......
searching....FOUND.Mary & Dave Willow.Killed by house burning down in 1982.The last living
relative: Emily Willow.No known family members found.".After the computer stops talking..."I'm
sorry about that, Emily.",says P.X. as I nod numbly."Does it say where the house is located?",I
ask as P.X. nods firmly and starts typing some more."1215 Cedar Lane.Richmond, Virginia.It has
been rebuilt but it detects a box that's still there underneath the poarch.Nobody lives there now,
Emily.",reads P.X. as I nod and write down the address with a pen and paper that I make appear in my
hand by using my powers."Thanks Professor Xavier.Can I skip school today and take a field trip on
my own today?",I say as Professor Xavier shakes his head."No, it's too dangerous for you to go
alone without anyone to go with you.You'll have to wait until I can find someone to take you, Emily.",
says Professor Xavier as I nod angerily and go back to my room.Inside...'He can't tell me what to
do.He's not my parents.They died...I plan on finding that box that's buried underneath the poarch
tonight.',I say to myself as I get some warm clothes together into my old suitcase.I change out of
my p.j.'s and into some warm clothes.Once I have everything ready...I open the window and grab my
suitcase with one hand as I schimmy down using the drain pipe that's near my window.Once I'm
down...I easily make it through the gates without any problems.I throw my bag over the gate and then
I climb up it and over.I jump down and pick up my suitcase as I try and locate the nearest bus stop
station.A few miles & alot of blisters on my feet later...I find the bus station as I buy a one way
ticket to Richmond, Virginia.I see the bus coming up next to me as I get on once it stops and opens
it's doors.I find a seat that's near the back and there's a whole 2 seats for me.I put my suitcase next
to the empty seat as I wait for the bus to start driving now.
I see a guy wearing a leather black
jacket and his hair looks very fimilar.He always scowls as it suddenly hits me....that's Logan and he's
following me.He spots me and sits next to a row that's next to mine and finds an empty seat next to
mine but it's a walk way apart."Hey Emily.What are you doing here?I thought that you were in
bed.",says Logan casually but I know that he's trying to act like nothing has happened."Very
funny, Logan.I'm going to find a box that belongs to me.",I say annoyed as Logan nods."That's
cool.Mind if I join you?",says Logan as I think about it and then shrug."I'm guessing that Professor
Xavier sent you to check up on me.",I say as Logan nods firmly."Yeah, but he was having a hard
time tracking you because you didn't use your powers so I had to use my own powers.",says Logan
as he points to his nose."Super smell, cool.",I say as he nods firmly and relaxes into his seat.I sense
somebody staring at me as I turn around to see this teen boy staring at me hard.He smiles at me
causally but I don't like the feeling that I'm getting from him."It's rude to stare.",I hiss angerily as
the guy glares at me."So it's a free country.",says the guy as he gets up from his seat and walks
over towards mine.Logan glares at him and says,"Move it, pal.She doesn't want to talk to you.".
"Are you her dad or something?At least she doesn't have the bad hair like you.Man, haven't you
ever heard of a normal hair style?",asks the teenage guy as Logan is about to unleash his claws from in
between his knuckles.I shake my head as he makes them stop from coming out."Leave us alone.",
I hiss icely as the guy goes back to his seat quickly.After he leaves...Logan glares at the guy and
then looks straight ahead."Thanks for stopping me earlier with that punk.",mumbles Logan as I nod.
"No prob.I've had to deal with creeps like that at the orphange.",I say calmly as I move my suitcase
and sit in the next seat.I put my suitcase next to my feet as Logan sits in the aisle seat while I take
the window seat.I snuggle into my coat as a bird would to get comfortable.Once I'm
comfortable...I go to sleep quickly but my senses are always alert.A few hours later...the bus
suddenly stops as I hit my head on the back of the metal seat....wait did I just say metal?He's here
as Logan gets out his claws quickly."Stay here, Emily.",growls Logan as the bus is seriously
ripped like it was tissue paper everywhere around us.Only our row is left as the living people run
for cover out of the bus.Death is around us as I can sense the pain and the terror that the innonce
people had to go throught.
"Well well if it's Logan.I have a friend for you to meet.You probably
know him...Sabertooth, attack.",says Magneto as Sabertooth grabs Logan from out of his seat.I
take off my necklace quickly since that's how he usually gets a hold of me.I put it on the floor
angerily as I glare at him dangerously.Even Sabertooth looks at me suspiciously but Logan uses
his claws to get his enemy in the stomach.Sabertooth roars painfully as they seriously duke it out.
Magneto uses his powers and takes my necklace to his surprise.He looks at it more closely and then
at me."You know me too well, Emily.That's good though.You can be a valueble ally in the band
of Brotherhood.",says Magneto as he throws my necklace out onto the street.I hear it *crunch* and
then a soft *crack* as a huge semi truck runs over it."For the last time, I'm not joining for stupid
group of power hungry misfits, Magneto.You can forget it okay?Call off your gaint pet cat or else
I will.",I hiss angerily as Magneto nods and calls Sabertooth back to him."Sabertooth, do you think
that you can take on this misfit?",asks Magneto as he nods firmly."Piece of cake, master.",growls
Sabertooth as he charges towards me but Logan gets in front of me.Logan then gets thrown by
Sabertooth as he lands in the middle of the street.I don't look for him because I have more things to
deal with now.I get into my fighting stance as Sabertooth uses his cat like powers.I jump onto his
claws easily as I get onto his head.Perfect I found his third eye once I'm on his shoulders.
Sabertooth's claws are scratching my legs as I can feel the immense pain but I try my hardest to
ignore it.I think of my hand as a fist of pure fire energy.I punch him my hardest as he passes out.I
get off of his back just as he lands with a large *thud*.The back of my legs are seriously cut up
pretty badly as Magneto glares at me hard."How did you beat Sabertooth?",asks Magneto angerily
as I smile at him slyly."That's for me to know & for you to never find out.",I say as he nods.He
tries to get inside my head but I block him out as he glares at me harder."You are the most
annoying teenager that I have ever met, Emily.We will meet again.",says Magneto as I nod and glare
at my pain.I press one of my palms on each one of my legs as I imagine a green light that's healing
my scratches that Sabertooth did a number on.Once they are all healed and I can finally get up
easily...I see Logan jumping back into the torn up bus as he hands me something.One part is the
necklace part & few other parts are the broken pieces of my necklace that was worn around my
necklace.I look at it as it suddenly comes together by yellow, blue, green & red, lights that glow
around the broken peices.
After it stops glowing...I put back on as Logan looks at it causiously.
"You didn't do that, did you?",asks Logan as he goes back to his tough guy attitude."No, but it's
pretty freaky.I'm guessing that my parents had powers like mine too.I think that my parents house
was sent on purpose for some reason & I want to find out why after I find that box that's under
their porch.",I say calmly as we walk towards a hotel.I hold onto my suitcase as Logan pays for
a room for us.In our room...I put my stuff down near my huge bed in my bedroom as Logan sits
on the couch that turns out into a bed.People seem to think that we are just family members on
vacation but I don't look anything like him.I guess that it's my attitude that I give off.It's almost
like Logan's except with more attitude if that's even possible.Nah, it's not.I changed my mind."This
is nice, Logan.Thanks.",I say as Logan nods & I check out my bedroom and the only one bathroom.
"No prob.I need the sleep from that idiot Sabertooth.",says Logan as I nod."Magneto's a pain in
the butt too.",I say annoyed as Logan nods."Metal is what he uses against us & unfortunately I'm
made out of a metal skeleton from what Professor Xavier told me awhile back.",says Logan as I'm
surprised but I kind of figured that out on my own with the claws coming back and forth when they
didn't hurt that badly."Yeah, he likes to use my necklace against me because it's made out of metal
too.",I say as Logan nods.I go to my room that has two sliding wooden doors.I shut my doors
quietly as I take my stuff out.I change into my p.j.'s and crawl into the bed quickly.Too bad it's
really cold outside or else this would be fun.I fall asleep quickly though as I hear Logan trying to
get the couch to fold into a bed.The next day...I wake up and see that Logan's still asleep snoring
loudly.I get up out of my bed and grab the other hotel key.I go downstairs and get me some breakfast.
Once I load up on mini muffins of all kinds and some coffee in a styrofoam cup with a lid.I walk
upstairs careful not to spill any of the coffee on me.Luckily I made it up without any trouble and
unlock the door with my powers when nobody's looking since my hands are kind of filled up with the
tray.I open the door and walk in as the door shuts automatically behind me.I set the tray on the table
and start eating the muffins and drinking the coffee slowly.Man, coffee tastes good in the cold
mornings but I'd prefer herbal tea.The muffins were very good too especially the poppy seed
muffins and the lemon muffins.I throw away the trash and leave out 1 of each for Logan in case he's
hungry for something.Then I take a shower and lock the door to the bathroom.
After my shower...I
dry my hair and brush my teeth.When I'm done cleaning up...I come out and change into my clothes
that I brought with me.Finally Logan wakes up and eats all of the muffins.I brush my semi-dry hair and
blot it until it's a bit better.I put my brush back into my suitcase as I get my stuff back into my
suitcase.I watch TV while Logan gets ready to leave the hotel.After he's done...he checks us out
of the hotel and then we get a taxi to the address that I wrote down from Professor Xavier's
computer gave me.At 1215 Cedar Lane...Logan pays for the tip as the taxi driver leaves us there.
Supposedly the locals think that this house is haunted by the family that died.I find out from the
driver that my parents died because the fire was set dilberally by witch hunters from the neighborhood
along time ago.They broke into the house and tied them both up to their beds as they put gasoline
in every part of the house.Then one of them light a match and threw it once the creeps were out the
house safely.Nobody came to put out the fire and they all let the house burn to the ground.Heartless
people but things haven't changed much.I look at the house and I can hear their screams as the fire
engulfs it even if it has been rebuilt.I walk up to the porch and dig underneath it easily.I crawl
underneath the porch and see alot of leaves that have been here.Alot of them are burnt & crack
easily as I cast out my powers until I feel something glowing bright colors.I dig very fast until my
fingernails hit something wooden.I dig around it until I can pull out the thing that's been buried at
the bottom of the earth.I drag it with me as I realise that it's a chest that has a rusted lock on it.I use
my fire power to melt the rest of it off but not damaging the chest itself.The chest opens as a
bunch of bright lights like the ones that healed my necklace go inside of my necklace that glows
brightly of different colors.Once the lights stop glowing...I sense something about to come in front
of me.It's a man and a woman that look alot like me.They both smile at me as the woman is
standing next to the chest."We knew that you would find this chest.Before we died we put the last
of our powers into this chest along w/ our things.These things are yours to own.We'll be watching
over you, Emily.",says the woman as they both start to disappear.
I look at the chest to find a
bunch of necklaces, thousands of candles & candle holders, a beautiful robe that looks like it's in
my size, an athame, a wand, alot of different colored yarn and different colored fabrics, books that
they must have used to read, bottles and bottles of dried herbs and different kinds of oils, bath salts
and soaps that are all like they were just newly made.Logan just watches me as I close the chest.
Logan carries the chest as we get bus tickets back to Manchester, NY.A few days later...We arrive
at the school as Logan pays the taxi.The gate opens up as we go to the front of the school.I can
see that everybody's wondering what happened and why I left so suddenly.Logan puts my chest in
my room quietly and then walks out without saying anything.After he leaves...I look through the chest
and make these things my own by putting my own energy into the these gifts from my parents.I take
out a book and then I put the chest in my closet away from prying eyes.I notice that the book is a
training guide for beginning Wiccans.After reading for a few minutes...My head hurts from reading
all of that so I take a nap.I put the book on my night stand carefully.When I wake up...I realise that
it's next morning and I get up.I grab a bite to eat and then I get my stuff together to go to school.Kurt
and the others walk with me as they ask me alot of stupid questions about why I left so late and why.
Rogue rolls her eyes towards them as I nod silently.At the school...I get my schedule as I find my
classes easily.I put my stuff in my locker as I get my books that I need and sit in an empty seat next
to Rogue.She's really cool and we sit together away from the 'weirdos' that she calls the popular kids
that tell people off for no good reason.I like to think that they do it because they have some insecurity
issues as Rogue agrees with me there."So how was it when you left the school?Did you meet up with
Magneto again?",asks Rogue as I tell her exactly what happened and I do mean
everything...including what Sabertooth did to me while Logan was busy dogding traffic.After I
finish...I real quick eat my lunch and drink my soda casaully."Yeah, they can be real jerks
sometimes.So do you like anyone at the school, Emily?",says Rogue as I nod embarressingly.
"Who?I promise that I won't tell.",says Rogue as I trust her and tell her that I like Kurt."Does he
know that you do?",asks Rogue as I shrug."I've never asked him.Do you think so?",I say as
Rogue nods firmly."Do you want me to go ask the guys of the group that know Kurt?I'll be really
smooth about it.",asks Rogue as I nod and then we go back to our other 3 classes.
After school...I
see this guy that looks kind of like a punk kid and he has long brown hair (well for a teenage guy
anyways) that's down to his shoulders.He's spray painting on the wall that Ms. Raven Claw sucks.
I don't like that female principal.She gives me the creeps and I always get goosebumps when I was
in her office to get my schedule.I'm surprised that I haven't gotten a cold from her room yet.
Rogue told me that her office is very warm like a sauna so now I'm really confused.
Ms. Raven Claw about freaked out when I sneezed in front of her but I covered my mouth.Her
aura was very clear like Magneto's & Mystic's.Maybe she's Magneto dressed up as a woman
principal.I imagine Magneto wearing a girly dress end up laughing so much that my eyes are
watering.The guy with the spray can looks at me oddily as I tell him that I was just thinking about
something very funny that I saw on TV.He continues spraying other words on the brick wall now.
I suddenly sense a car coming up towards me as I see Scott driving a new blue sports car with very
nice crome wheel covers."Come on Emily.Let's take you home.",says Scott happily as I nod and
get inside the nice new car.A few minutes later...Scott parks the car and I grab my backpack as I get
out of the car."Thanks Magneto for getting me this new car.",says Scott happily as I don't say
anything."So how was school today?",asks Scott curiously as I wonder if he's feeling alright."It
was fine.Boring teachers.I already have homework to do.",I say calmly as he nods and goes into the
house from the garage.I walk up to my room where I see Kurt standing in front of my door."Hey
Kurt.Waz up?",I say as he smiles."Nothing much.Do you have homework to do?",says Kurt
calmly."Yeah, it sucks.",I say as Kurt nods."Do you want to go out with me after you finish your
homework?Scott says that it's cool if we take the X-Van.",asks Kurt embarressedly as I nod
happily."Sure, that'd be cool.Do you know how to drive & all?",I say as Kurt nods happily.
"Yeah, I just got it a month ago.Don't you, Emily?",says Kurt as I shake my head."No, the
orphange just didn't have enough money to pay cars for everybody.",I say as Kurt nods."I'll
teach you how to drive, Emily.What do you say?",says Kurt as I shrug."I'll think about it.See ya
later.",I say as I finish my homework in no time.I go down to the kitchen to get myself a snack and
a soda when I see a girl that's 3 years younger than me.She walks through the fridge and then comes
out with a plate of microwaved food.She pops it in the microwave and then sees me there."Hey
Emily.I didn't see you there.Do you want some?",says the girl as I shake my head."Nah, go ahead.
Is there any junkfood here?",I say as she nods and points to one of the cabinets.
"Yeah, there should
be a box of Milky Ways if Spyke hasn't eaten them all.",says the girl as I check and sure enough
there are a few of the candy bars left.I grab a few minis and grab myself a Root Beer from the fridge.
I inhale minis and then drink my Root Beer quickly."That was good.Thanks for the tip, Kitty.",I say
as I finally remember the girl's name."No problem, Emily.",says Kitty as the microwave dings and
she grabs the plate.It's too hot for her and is about to drop it if I hadn't had used the air power to
catch it.Kitty looks at the plate amazed as I set it down on the counter carefully."Great save,
Emily.That could have been a waste if it fell down.Next time I'll use the oven mits.",says Kitty
sheepishly as I nod happily."No prob, Kitty.",I say as she grabs the oven mits and carries the plate
over to the table with her silverware in her mouth.I throw away the trash and go wait on Kurt.I see him
in the garage getting the X-Van ready."Hey Kurt.You ready?",I say as he looks up at me and nods
happily.Kurt drives up towards a outlook that views the city beautifully.All of the city lights are
shining like stars."You look really nice tonight, Emily.",says Kurt as I blush brightly at that
comment."Thanks Kurt.",I say calmly as he nods.Then we just look to one another as he lends in
and kisses me on the lips.It seemed alot longer than a few seconds but it was a wonderful
experience for being kissed for the first time.Kurt smiles widely."So I guess that this means that
we're a couple now, huh Emily?",says Kurt curiously as I nod happily.
"Yeah, I guess so.",I say
happily as he puts his arm around my shoulder.After a few minutes of comfortable silent...He
takes me to this new club that just opened up a few days ago.At the club...We go inside and it's
nothing like the nightclub where I usually went to when I lived at the orphange.There's tencho
music and people aren't even drunk or high.It's like the club took everything that was interesting and
turns it to all mushy 70's Love and peace happiness type stuff.I mean don't get me wrong.I have
nothing against love and harmony but it's just...sicking to watch them act all happy all of the time.
Sometimes I feel as if I don't belong here in this place or even at the school.I keep on telling
myself that all I need is to adjust but it hasn't helped much.I still have only one friend and now a
great looking boyfriend.Still....I snap out of talking to myself when I feel someone tapping me on
the shoulder."Hey do you wanna dance with me, Emily?",asks Kurt as I nod and we jam to the techno
music that plays it really fast.I move my hips side to side as Kurt looks really impressed at my
style of dance.It's not sleuthy or anything..so don't go there...it just looks cool seeing it up close
like watching a movie."Where did you learn how to do this kind of techno dance, Emily?",asks
Kurt as I'm very confused now.What's he talking about?This is how I always dance.Nothing
different has happened to me."I just moved to the music.",I say calmly as Kurt takes it and
continues dancing with me until the music stops.We take an empty table and sit down to relax.Kurt
gets us both bottled waters as I look around at the club.Strobe lights going on and off quickly in
one area, people dancing rather sexy for their age and that same guy that I saw spray painting at
school.He sees me and sits next to me as if he owned the entire world.He gives off this feeling as
being too much of a hot shot and a real jerk."Hey I haven't seen you here before.Are you new to
Manchester?",says the guy as I ignore him.I can see him staring at me as the hairs on the back of
my neck go straight up."Stop staring, it's rude.",I say annoyed as the feeling wears off quickly.
"How did you know?",asks the guy now very suspicious that I knew."I'm not stupid.",I hiss
angerily.He smiles at that comment & then says,"I saw you getting into that car with that Summers
guy and his wife, Jean.Do you actually hang out with them?"."So what's it to you?",I ask calmly.
"You're pretty cool.You wanna join our group?",says the guy acting more friendly.
"Why?Is it a
cult?Are you a member of radical leader bent on world domination?",I ask sarcastically as the guy
shakes his head."No, nothing like that.It's just a group of us that hangs out to help people.",says
the guy as I shake my head."You're lying.Tell me the truth or else I'm leaving.",I say as I start to
get up slowly.I can sense that the guy is now panicing and is about to explode."Okay fine.Just meet
me here tomorrow night at 6PM and don't be late.I'll explain everything and then you can meet my
friends too.",says the guy as I am now standing up from my chair."I'll think about it.",I say but I
can sense that something's not right with this guy.Kurt sees the guy and the guy runs away from my
table."What were you doing talking to Lance, Emily?He's bad news.Did he ask you any
questions?",asks Kurt as he sounds really worried.He puts down the waters as I take one and open
it easily.I take a drink of the water."He came over and just sat down.I kind of figured that out on my
own.Yeah he asked me if I was new to Manchester and if I would join his group.He said that he
would explain everything to me and then his friends would be over too if I came at 6 PM tomorrow
night.I'm not going and it sounds really fishy, not to mention very stupid.Thanks for taking me out,
Kurt.I had fun and for once I didn't have to use my powers.",I say as Kurt nods and agrees to take
me home.At the school...We get out of the car as Kurt closes the garage door."Maybe we could do
that again sometime, Emily.",says Kurt quietly as I agree and sense somebody watching us.I turn
around and don't sense anybody there."Emily, what are you doing?",asks Kurt confused."I felt
someone watching us.",I say quietly as I see someone breaking a window.A guy that looks like a
toad grabs me as Kurt tries to beat the crap out of him.I'm feel like a rag doll that's being bounced
up and down.As soon as I loose sight of Kurt I am set down in front of a strange house.The sign
reads 'The BrotherHood Boarding House'.'How original.',I say to myself sarcastically as the toad
teen pushes me inside the house.Inside...I see a rather large white male wearing overalls, a white
male wearing a metal suit, a white male with silver hair, Magneto and Mystic in front of me.I get into
my fighting stance when I see Magneto and Mystic.The toad teen is behind me causiously."I'm glad
that you could come to our little house, Willow.",says Magneto calmly as I wonder what he's
going to do with me now."I didn't come here of my own free will, Magneto.",I hiss angerily as the
group of teens are shocked that I would say that to him."You can't talk to Magneto like that,
Willow.",says the metal teenager angerily as he glares at me dangerously.
"Fire, teach him a
lesson.",I say as a bolt of fire comes out of my palm and melts his plastic face covering.He looks
very surprised and quickly takes it off scared."Very good, Willow.",says Magneto calmly as I look
at him confused."That wasn't for your benefit.",I say annoyed as I try to walk away but the toad
teen is standing in my way."Let me pass.",I hiss dangerously as my palm is glowing a red hue
now.The teen toad backs away slowly so that I can pass as Magneto smiles creepily."When you
come back here I will be waiting for that day.",says Magneto evilly as I shake my head."Who says
that I will?",I ask him calmly as I walk out of the house and towards the Professor's school.At the
school...I'm met with Professor Xavier and Logan.I don't look at them as I walk towards my room.
"What happened, Willow?",asks Professor Xavier concerned."I met Magneto and his teen groupies.
They wanted me to join them but I said no in my own way.",I say calmly as Xavier nods firmly.
"You have to be careful with them and with Magneto, Willow.",says Xavier calmly as I nod."I
already knew that, P.X..Did Kurt tell you that I was also kidnapped by one of the groupies.He was
a human toad.Now if you excuse me I'm going to ground and center my energy that I have left over.
Then I'm going to go to bed.",I say calmly as they let me and I walk towards my room quietly.Once
inside my room with the door shut...I turn off the lights and get into my pose to mediate.I close my
eyes and fold my legs as I empty out my head of all of the crap that happened today.I put my hands
on the carpet as all of the extra energy fades away until I feel really sleepy.I get out my indian style
and crawl into my bed as I go to sleep instantly.The next day...I wake to the sound of an alarm
going off as it gets me out of bed sleepily.
I hear somebody bursting into my room as I rub my
sleepy eyes with my hands.As soon as my vision focuses...I can see Scott still in his boxers.
"You'd better have a good excuse as to why you're in my room, Scott.",I say as I yawn slightly.
"Yeah, the Professor's gone & we need to find him now.Somebody came in and took him.Did you
hear anything last night before you went to bed?",says Scott almost in a panic as I shake my head.
"No, I was mediating but I didn't hear anything.",I say calmly."Okay but we need to get the others
to help us.",says Scott as we all soon hear some large trucks come at the school.Me and Scott as
well as the rest of us all check and see what's going on (when we are all dressed).There's a man
standing on a army truck with a bullhorn."Okay mutants.Come out with your hands up.We have
you surrounded.We know who you all of you are.",says the man through his bullhorn loudly as
Scott tells us to all scatter and meet
up at a cave nearby as soon as we all come outside from the building.I get some food ready before
I start running.I put all of it in a huge peice of fabric that's been folded together to make a nice little
basket.I tie a double knot so that it won't undo while I run.I hold my fabric basket under my arm as
I start to bolt for an easy way to the cave but also hard enough for the army to catch up to me.I
leave my chest there because it's too heavy to carry the chest & my basket together.I know that
my parents used their powers to protect it in case it got damaged.It's safe in my closet anyways.I
run towards the route that I already set.The army men are out and are trying to grab us as we run for
the cave that Scott told us to go to.A guy tries to grab me but before he does I put his feet on ice.
He stands there and looks very shocked.Cool, I never thought that I could use ice as part of my
water power.I smile at the guy slyly as I take off again.Dodging and weaving my way towards the
cave but now a group of them are after me.I use the power of air to blow them away but they still
keep on coming.Finally after hiding myself by using the earth to cover a hallowed tree trunk that I
found on my run...I come out after I sensed that the men were gone.
I wipe my jeans off from the
wet leaves & look around.I see a local grocery store & walk towards it.I check out me & don't see
any army guys.'Good.',I say to myself as I open the door & grab a Twinkie for a snack in case I
get sick of junkfood and cereal.I pay for it with my magick money and then I quickly put it in my
fabric bag.The employee doesn't even recongize me from my picture that's been put on the news
which is a good thing because it's been going on 24-7.I get out of the grocery store and continue to
head towards the cave when I hear some guys motion towards me.They're dressed in army
uniforms and they're carrying guns with them."Stop right there, mutant.",says an army man sternly
as I just look at him."Why?What have I done to any of you?",I ask confused but then I hear a loud
motorcycle engine coming straight towards me and the army men.The group scatters out of the way
as the driver takes off his helmet.He throws me one and I hop on the back of it."There's no use
talkin' to these bozos.",says Logan as he hands me an extra helmet.I put it on as Logan quickly puts
his back on before he starts up his motorcycle.I grab onto his waist and hold on for dear life.After
riding in Logan's motorcycle for an hour...he lets me off as I notice that we're in a cave where
Scott told us all to go.
