The Dragon
Chapter 1
Mysterious
Something wasn't right and she could feel it.
She quickened her pace, she felt it in her senses a smoke of uncertainty began to cloud her mind. All she knew that the atmosphere around her had changed dramatically, it was loud and rustling a while ago and now all seemed to have become quiet and calm as a moon filled night on the beach.
She was becoming afraid and that's why she decided to return to the safety her humble abode offered.
She turned around the corner and that is when the horror had placed itself inside her – she had been in this place a minute ago!
She was gripped by panic and fear beyond her recognition and that's when she started running with all her will power trying to run away from some invisible stalker. She ran around the previous corner –the same place!
Now, her heart was beginning to beat as if it was out of control and she found it hard to breathe and while running she found herself gasping for breath as though she was drowning in a pool of water. She ran and ran but to no avail –the same area greeted her and soon she collapsed on the ground. Hot tears began to flow down her face as she clutched her face.
It was like being in a labyrinth with no endings or beginnings and she was trapped in this deadly maze, as it had become.
Drew'What whose there?' she sobbed as the cold, soft yet dangerous voice called out her name.
Drew'What! Who's there show yourself!' she cried, she was hugging herself to calm herself down but fear was vivid in her current state and her voice had blended with it as well so it was a futile effort to act brave.
Oh Drew, my sweet Drew, do not be frightened pet, it'll be over soon.
'What! Sow yourself! You bastard! I don't know who you are but show yourself now!' Drew screamed she was afraid but rage was also getting the better of her.
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
Drew,
The voice had turned into voices coming out of every angle of the alley way and Drew looked around in fear. Her confused face showed that she couldn't accurately pinpoint where the voices were originating from and she turned her head to search but it was useless. She started running but the voices were getting more deadly and cold and it seemed that as she ran someone or something would grab her out of the shadows and pull her into the blinding darkness. She had closed her eyes but as she peaked she saw she was returning back to the same place over and over again. She was thinking that if she ran fast enough she could somehow break out of this miserable place and get back home but it was meaningless desire because she seemed to always return back with more voices popping out.
She collapsed down on the ground and as more hot tears found their way down her cheeks she seemed to have lost all her will power, 'Please, please stop!' she said between her tears, 'Please let me go, I have done nothing, please!' she begged her invisible attacker to stop and soon the voices had stopped and Drew looked up.
Drew, My pet, don't shed your beautiful tears, it'll be over soon.
Drew's eyes went wide at the thing that was happening before her.
The shadows.
Every Shadow of every object seemed to have come alive including her own as they stretched and reached the far end of the alley. Drew stepped back in fear as something seemed to walk out of those shadows and walk towards Drew.
She could only stare in fear as the figure seemed to say, Drew, you are mine forever.
The figure finally emerged from the darkness into the dim-lit part of the alley and Drew saw her invisible attacker.
Drew started to scream; she screamed at the top of her lungs, she screamed, she screamed as her screams died in the darkness of the night.

Rogue rubbed her eyes sleepily as she made her way with Kitty and Jean towards the hallway. She bumped into a half asleep Kitty, 'Hey, watch it.' She said sleepily.
'Sorry.' Rogue replied.
'You guys gotta stay awake,' a fatigued but awake Jean advised, 'You don't wanna miss what's the professor's gotta say.'
'Yeah but it couldn't wait till morning like I can barely keep my eyes open.' Kitty yawned.
' The professor said its pretty urgent and he sound like it too.' Jen answered looking at an annoyed Rogue.
'Well it better be norelse I'll hate it for walking me up at four in the morning with a Logan session later today.' Rogue was grumpy.
'Well I'm sure its important and we better hurry everybody is already in the living room.' Jean seemed to pick up her speed as they all arrived.
'Now Students,' Professor Xavier started as he saw that everyone had arrived, 'There is an extremely important announcement I want to make and it is especially to the girls.'
Everybody snapped out of their sleep as soon as the Professor said that and all the girls had confusion written all over their faces.
'What's the matter Professor?' as usual Jean was the one who asked first.
' Well you are all aware of that certain individuals have been turning up missing and they are all girls and so far there has been seven girls but now there is eight.'
'Eight!' Kitty shrieked, 'Like do you have any idea you is doing all of this Professor?'
'Ya Professor who iz it?' Kurt asked.
'I have not found out who the culprit is because there hasn't been any clues even for us to pinpoint.' The Professor looked glum.
'The bastard doesn't even leave a scent.' Logan looked furious but also confused.
There were gasps now and they atmosphere became more thick by the minute and soon Scott's voice broke out through all the confusion, 'What can we do Professor?'
' I suggest you stay in groups and be alert all the time before we can solve anything.'
'Professor, can a mutant we don't know be behind this?' Rogue's voice was finally heard. She had been listening intently to all the Professor had been saying and she didn't look too good about it for a strange reason.
'Could be Rogue.' The Professor replied.
'Professor who is the eighth victim?' Amara asked.
' Her name is Drew McIntyre.' The Professor's voice showed concern for the girl.
' Drew McIntyre, like I know her she sits with me in English class.' Kitty's face had shocked written all over her face.
' Alright now everybody back to your rooms and by the way this will not be an excuse for being late for my session.' Logan informed them and everyone started to groan with irritation.
Rogue was following Logan when the Professor had stopped her, 'Rogue, I need to speak with you private, would you please take a seat.'
'Sure Professor.' Rogue sat down as she was told but her eyes showed signs she already knew what the Professor wanted to talk about.
'Rogue, something told me you already knew about Drew McIntyre being abducted before I told everybody.'
Rogue lowered her head, 'I saw her running through circles… she was crying… there were thousands of voices… A figure came out…again.'
All right that's it for the first chapter. All will be explained soon and I'll update as soon as I can.
