Chapter 9
The weather was slowly and surely growing colder in Bayville. Snow was expected to fall during the coming week and in spite of herself Ami couldn't help showing how excited she was. Of all the times of the year this was her favourite. She was still happy even though she couldn't spend it with her brother, Lee. All during the month of November she had hummed Christmas carols under her breath. It wasn't until December had started that she didnt' feel weird humming so people could hear her.
Also with the coming of December came a strange new feeling. That everything was going to change, she almost tasted it in the air, feel it when the wind hit her, hear it when the snow fell. Things were changing. Things had changed. Things would change. It scared her, like the feeling you get when walking down the stairs in the dark, when you reach the bottom you almost don't know what to expect.
Ami had a weird feeling that she wasn't the only one who could feel this change. A hush seemed to have taken over the Brotherhood and the High School. Although there was just as much noise, it felt extremely quiet, as though everyone was, in the back of their minds, quietly waiting for the unknown.
"This December is feels so weird, doesn't it?" Ami commented one day while eating her lunch in the cafeteria.
"Yeah," Todd agreed.
"Like somethings lurking just beyond our sight, ready to pounce." she added looking up at the clouds and the snow falling from them.
Fred nodded, "It's scary."
"Not really, change is a good thing. At least it's supposed to be. Things change everyday, we just don't notice it. But what's coming will effect everyone." Ami mused aloud.
"How do you know?" Pietro asked, his curiosity couldn't prevent him from asking.
Ami gave him a surprised look and then gave him her explaination, "Everyone can feel it. Everyone is waiting for something to happen, so from the way I see it, it will effect everyone."
"I could be wrong, it could simply be alot of small changes that will effect alot of people." she added quickly before Pietro could critize her logic.
"That sorta makes sense," Lance said while turning, looking for Kitty. "Hope my love life changes."
"You'd both have to comprimise alot. You'd have to be willing to do that for it to work," Ami commented.
"Yeah, like you're the expert, you don't even have a boyfriend."
"That's true, but it doesn't change the fact that I've lived with you for a while now and I know you fairly well and that I happen to be a girl myself, a girl who can get into peoples thoughts anytime she can see them."
"What?!You've been in her head?"
Ami nodded and quickly added, "I'm not telling you anything. That's private stuff."
"Private! Don't tell me what's private! That's.....hipocritical!"
Ami and the Brotherhood gave him a surprised look. "You don't even know what 'hipocritcal' means." Pietro commented.
"Neither do you," Ami said quietly.
Pietro didn't say anything. He just looked at her. She was right, he didn't know what it meant. Had she been in his head? Did it matter? In the past would she have said that? Was she changing too? After a while he thought he'd better stop starring at her or the guys would the wrong idea, but as he got up to go to his next class he was sure he had the answers to those questions. No, no, no, and yes. Two new questions emergered, would everything be the same as it had been before? No. Was there a chance for them to be somthing?
This is my December This is my time of year This is my December This is all so clear
This is my December This is my snow covered home This is my December This is me alone
This is my December These are my snow covered dreams This is me pretending This is all I need
And I Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed And I Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that And I Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed And I Take back all the things that I said to you And I Give it all away Just to have somewhere to go to Give it all away To have someone to come home to

A new feeling was added to that of change. It was not unlike the peace she had felt after she had talked with Professor Xavier. What it was she wasn't sure but she felt really good. She didn't feel so empty, she didn't have the uncertainty of who she was, once again everything was clear, unclouded. Everything except what the feeling itself was. Maybe some of the damage had somehow been repaired.
Winter Break had begun and Ami was spending most of her time around the boarding house, she had no shopping to do she and the guys had decided not to buy eachother anything. She mostly sat around watching T.V. or reading a book. She got extremely bored after a while and on December 21st she got up and went for a walk. The snow was falling, it was white and perfect, it covered everything, giving the illusion that everything was white. She looked up and the sky was grey with white. She felt like she was in a black and white movie, only it was really more like grey and white.
After a while she felt colourless aswell. Boring? No. Alive. Ironically during the moment in which she felt the most invigorated, alive, she was killed. She never heard it come, she never felt a thing, she never saw her end, all she was, was a girl, alive, happy, and in love.
