Chapter 1:

Everything was quiet and peaceful, the water ran up against the rocks, smashing at impact. As exactly how she felt. Emma stood on her balcony, watching everything around her, how everything seemed so peaceful, wishing the same thing could happen for her. But she knew it would never happen, her loyalty laid with Mutant X, her job to save New Mutants and to help her fellow Team Mates, no peace ever would come for her. She closed her eyes, the wind running through her hair tossing it from side to side. She felt lonely, Emma knew she had her Team Mates, her friends, but they only needed her when they needed her, never just to talk.

Emma was happy for Shalimar and Brennan, she felt close to Brennan when they first came to Sanctuary, when they first joined Mutant X, but slowly, their relationship fell apart, they departed from each other, Brennan moved to Shalimar instead. And she knew Jesse felt the same way she did with this, he was Shalimar's best friend, they always talked, just like Brennan and Emma, till it fell apart.

Emma was sick and tired by now, she was always the backup, never the needed. Brennan, Shalimar and Jesse were always the fighters, always went on the mission, while Emma, she was lucky to go on a few. They always wanted her to prep the Med lab just in case anything happened while on the mission, or to stand by if they absolutely needed her. Emma wanted to be treated the same, as an equal, not as a child, she didn't need to be protected like they always thought. She could handle herself, she always could, but they could never accept that. Emma banged her hand on the railing of her balcony "I hate being the little sister of Mutant X, I hate having to be guarded"

She couldn't take all of it anymore, always having to protect herself from them, their emotions, their thoughts, they don't know how much it hurts her. She had to leave, for their safety, and hers.

Emma walked from her balcony and grabbed the nearest bag, she packed clothes and the things she needed most, she quickly stuffed everything in her bag and zipped it up and made her way towards the door, she stopped, she glanced at the picture that lay on the table. Of her, and her friends, Shalimar smiling and her arm around her, with Jesse on the other side with his arm around Emma's waist, Brennan on the far left holding his hand, and Adam on the far right with his arm around Shalimar. She glared at the picture and picked it up, she smirked "What a joke" she said as she threw the frame at the wall, the glass shattering as it collided with impact. The smash ran through Sanctuary, Brennan was just outside, sitting on the steps reading a book. He jumped at the sound of the smash.

Emma continued her path, she picked up her bag and made her way through her bedroom door to see Brennan only five feet away "What was that?" Emma continued walking, she spoke silently with harshness in her voice "Nothing" Brennan knew something was wrong. Jesse had appeared from the top of the stairs where he had been sitting hacking into the GSAs computer and Shalimar flew from her bedroom, they both asked what happened in Unison. Brennan looked at her team mates "She said nothing" Brennan noticed the bag in Emma's arm, he jogged right in front of her. "Where you goin?" Emma just looked up and glared, she tried to walk around the tall man, but he moved in front of her once again. Emma stared into Brennan's eyes, he got a cold feeling from her eyes, he knew something was wrong, he could guarantee it. "Brennan, get the hell outta my way" Brennan was shocked by this, Shalimar wasn't pleased, and Jesse was just sitting on the top of the stairs, confused as ever.

Emma walked around Brennan, he stepped in front of her view, where he once again blocked her path. "Emma, what's wrong?" Emma moved with inches of Brennan's face, she growing more and more angry by the second. "Brennan, its none of your god damn business, now move" Emma pushed Brennan out of her way and continue walking towards the garage, she didn't make it far when the Feral feline blocked her path "Emma! What the hell is wrong with you!?!" Jesse now had made his way to the back of Emma, where he stood right next to Brennan in confusion. Emma looked at Shalimar in eye "Shalimar, please move" She tried politely, but harshness still seeped through her voice. "Not till you tell me what's wrong?" Emma glared "Fine, I'll make you move" be fore you could know it, Emma had fired a Psionic blast from her forehead and knocked Shalimar 6 feet away from where she stood. Brennan swiftly moved right in front of Emma "EMMA! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!??!" She felt more and more anger, it appeared to her, they wouldn't let her leave peacefully.

Emma glared at Brennan, she spoke with anger in her voice "The exact same reason I did this" Emma had once again shot Brennan right next to Shalimar, both laying on the ground, completely shocked and confused. Jesse had run up to help both of them, still staring at Emma, she looked at her team mates, she could sense another presence from behind, a voice called from the back of her "Emma, I'm sorry" Adam had tried to move fast, with the Subdermal govenor in hand, but missed within inches of Emma's neck. Emma grabbed Adam by the back of his shirt and threw him to the ground.

She stood in front of her team mates, soon to be ex-team mates. Emma looked at all of them, with confusion and anger in their eyes. She looked at the floor for a second, then returned her gaze. Tears starting to develop in her eyes, she tried to hold them back, but failed. The team looked at her, they knew she felt bad, but misunderstood of why she did this in the first place. As the tears slid down her face, she spoke "I'm sorry to all of you, but I'm leaving Mutant X, forever, I can't take it anymore, I really can't." Her team mate lay on the ground, completely shocked, they never thought this would happen, but here it did, neither one of them thought that Emma would be the one to go, she appeared to be the strongest out of all of them, but to their surprise wasn't.

Soon Emma wiped away the tears and continue her path with bag in hand towards the garage, voices shot from behind "EMMA!! NO!! DON'T LEAVE!!" Shalimar called after her, "Emma, please don't, please stay, come on" Brennan followed after Shalimar. Emma slowly turned around, she saw her friend hads now made their way to their feet. Shalimar with tears beginning to stream down her cheeks, Brennan with sadness in his eyes, Adam lost, Jesse soon stepped forward towards Emma. "Emm-" Emma interrupted Jesse "Jesse, please don't" more tears streaming down her face. "But Emma, please stay here, stay here for us.stay here for me" Sadness grew in Jesse's eyes, this was beginning to tear Emma apart, but she what she had to do, she had no other choice, she said quietly "I'm sorry." Jesse tried to speak but Emma caught him off once again "I'm sorry, I can't let you guys follow me" Jesse tried to take another step forward, but soon a dark wave shot from Emma's head, sending her team mates flying in different directions.

Emma stood looking at her unconscious team mates, she looked at all of Sanctuary, and returned her gaze to her team-mates "I'm sorry" she said with a whisper. Emma continued her walk towards the garage doors, she turned around once again, and looked her fallen team mates, she looked down at the floor and push a piece of hair out of her face, she soon said with a silent whisper "Good bye"
