The Silhouette of a Little Girl

Part two

She was still running. Running from her life, from the truth. The truth that should not be spoken about. The truth that she couldn't touch a living being without hurting them or worse... killing them.

She was always moving, never stayed in a place more than a few days. Slowly making her way to USA.

She travelled with big lories from city to city and stayed at cheap and dirty motels. Just after the infamous kiss, she'd pack all things she needed, emptied her bank account and left. Her parents was scared of her, her pathetic ex-boyfriend's parents too and everybody else who know what happened. They were afraid of her because she was a freak. That was the only thing she was now – a freak. She had no reason to stay, so she took the first chance and got the hell out of there. Her parents would probably not care at all; they were too ashamed to have a freak in the family.

Right now she was on her way to a little village near Edmonton. She'd found a friendly lorry-driver who would take her there. It wasn't always they were nice and helpful. Many of them said no when she asked for a lift, many of them ignored her, pretended they didn't hear her. And some of them she'd travelled with had tried to do things. Drag her with them, tried to do stuff that she didn't even want to thing of. Thankfully her freak skin kicked in and the drivers got scared and ran.

She laid back on the seat in the lorry and thought back in the dream she'd dreamed that weird night a few weeks ago, she had had a similar dream just yesterday night. It was like a continuation on the last one. It felt like she knew the people but she had never met them in the real life, on that she was sure.

The dream

She was standing outside the big house once again. This time she wasn't scared at all, just exited.

"We've been waiting for you, Marie!" Jean was standing in the door.

The girl began to walk towards her and than into the house. This time she didn't hesitated. She walked together with the woman into the same room as last time. The professor, Logan, Scott and Ororo were already sitting in the room.

"Hello Marie!" Ororo smiled and the girl returned the smile.

"Hello everyone!"

"Did I not tell you, that we would meet soon again?" The professor winked an eye at her.

"You surely did!"

"How are you, Marie?" asked Scott.

"I'm just fine, thank you. How are you yourself?"

"Everything is good, thanks!"

The girl sat down in the nearest armchair.

"So, you know what my little secret is. Can I know yours now?"

"Of course, my dear! Jean, shall you start?"

"Okay. I can do this." She stuck out her arm towards a vase that was standing on a table at one of the walls. And suddenly it come floating in mid-air through the room and stopped right in front of Jean. She got it to go back to the table and put it down.

The girl stared at Jean and at the vase, amazed.

"But that's not the only thing I can do, I can also read minds."

"Oh, so that's why you knew my name before!"

Jean nodded and after that looked at Scott.

"I can't show you what I can do, but you've maybe figured out what it's all about?" Scott smiled at her.

"It has something to do with your eyes, hasn't it?"

"Yes that's right. My eyes are like a laser. If I don't wear these glasses I would be blowing of the roof. I was in an accident as a child and lost the thing in my brain that I should've controlled the laser with, so now I have to wear these glasses."

"That is a bit like mine, then." The girl made a face.

"Shall you show us what you can do?" Scott said.

"Alright. I can heal myself but I can also do this but it isn't really the same thing as your powers. This is what I can do." Logan held up both his hands and three long sharp blade shot out from between his knuckles on each hand.

"Whoa!" Marie's eyes widen. "Good self-protection!" She grinned and Logan laughed.

Everybody turned to Ororo who's eyed had become snowy white. The sky outside went very dark, the wind whine and a big blinding lightning shone up the dark world on the other side of the window. Just as fast as it came, the storm was gone and Ororo's eyes turned back to their original warmly dark brown colour. One again Marie was amazed.

"Cool!"

Ororo laughed. "Professor, I think it's your turn."

"I can do the same things as Jean, I'm just a bit stronger and have more developed powers. I can play with people's mind, make them think they are some things they are not. And I can do this." The professor stopped talk.

Suddenly she heard a voice inside her head.

"Hello Marie."

"Oh, it's you professor! I got a bit scared there!" She talked back to him inside her mind.

"Yes, that is me."

She felt him leave her mind and looked over at him.

"That was scary! I didn't know anybody could do that."

"Well, it is not many of us." The professor smiled. Then he rose and spoke again.

"I think it is time to go."

"Am I going to meet you again?"

"Maybe, if you really want to."

"Okay."

Then everything faded...



After both these dreams, she'd felt better than she'd done in months. But it was one thing she didn't understand; what did the dreams mean? And what was it they wanted to say? That she should not give up? To keep going?

She had to think about that more.

At the same time but in New York at a big mansion, two people sat in a room talking.

"We have to find her, Charles! And that's soon!"

"I know, dear, I know! But it looks like she is closing in on that other man now, and that is a good thing. It will be easier to locate her exactly then."
