A silent wind swept over the town. Lightning swarmed in the sky though there was no rain. All seemed quiet. Not a sound made its way through the air. Jean turned her head up to the purple and gray sky. She had never seen such colors in the clouds. Out of nowhere a crash echoed through the streets. Jean whipped her head around but the sound seemed to be everywhere. Then, as if on cue, a faint screaming sound was heard. Another wisp of wind blew Jean's hair into the darkness behind her. Then she heard it. Someone, something was saying something. Jean sensed a ghastly presence that seemed to loom over her like a vulture. The voice never grew louder, only stronger. It seemed broken, hollow, dark. It was a tone in, which gave the impression the person, was dying. Jean tried to look for the voice. But she saw nothing. Only a haunting shadow that seemed so familiar to her.
"Hello?" She cooed, "Is anyone there?" Her heartbeat was louder than her voice.
She tried to listen to the voice. She focused her thoughts on it. And then she heard it. It was a soft, dark chant. She couldn't understand it but she heard it loud and clear now. But who said that was good?
Jean turned around, expecting to see the source of the voice, but nothing was there. The voice then became louder. Jean tried to see where it was coming from but it was useless. The voice only grew louder, though she still couldn't figure out what it was. The voice seemed to follow her. Jean began to run. She ran through the ghost town but she wasn't getting anywhere. She was still on the same street.
Like sand in the wind the buildings around Jean began to disintegrate. The disappeared into darkness as did the streets and the trees and everything there was to see until there was nothing but darkness. Now the only sound that was heard was the whispering from nowhere.
Jean looked around at the vast nothingness in horror. All that was left was the ground and the sky which and turned to a dark purple merging into blue then gray. Then the voice sounded again. But this time, it came from behind her.
Jean held her breath and slowly turned around. She brought her eyes up to the shadowy figure standing in front of her, only about 30 feet away. It was a boy. Jean studied him carefully. He looked very familiar but she couldn't quite remember his name. She looked at him for a few minutes and realized he was pointing at something beside him. Jean couldn't take her eyes away. She tried to see where he was pointing to but darkness seemed to sweep over the ground. Then the boy started talking again. Jean heard him this time. His voice was eerie and seemed choked with dirt. The boy seemed dead almost. Then Jean realized it was Lhach.
Jean starred at him in disbelief. She then understood what he was saying.
"Teg yawa morf em."
Jean understood, "Get away from me."
But then he said something else.
"Pleh em."
"Help me." She whispered, following his words carefully.
But why was he saying two completely different things? Jean didn't understand it at all. What was he talking about?
Then the darkness beside him where Lhach was pointing to cleared up. It was Kitty. She was soaked in blood and not moving. Jean gasped and ran towards her. But after a few seconds she realized she wasn't going anywhere. Kitty was just lying there: dead. Jean looked at Lhach.
"What did you do to her?" She screamed. "Kitty!"
Lhach twisted his wrist and blue flames shot up where Kitty was lying.
"KITTY!"
Jean jolted upright in her bed, sweat pouring down her face. She looked around her room then at her clock sitting next to her. 3:00 it read. Jean took a deep breath and lied back down. Her breathing slowed down a bit but that didn't keep her from worrying. She had had this dream before, every night in fact, sense Xavier's visit with Lhach.
Jean took another deep breath and relentlessly fell back asleep.
Later that week Jean decided to approach Xavier about her dreams. They seemed to be trying to tell her something about Lhach. But she couldn't figure out what.
She saw Xavier in the library and headed in. The fireplace was out and Xavier was reading a book on telekinesis.
Jean cleared hr throat, "Uh, professor?"
Xavier put his book down, "Yes Jean?"
"Um, I've been having these weird dreams for the past few days and I was wondering if you could tell me what they mean."
"Well, of course I can Jean, what are they about?"
Jean hesitated, "They're about…Lhach."
Xavier stared at her, "Lhach?"
Jean nodded slowly.
"What happened in your dream?" Xavier asked firmly.
"Well, he, um…" Jean stuttered. Now that she thought about it she couldn't really remember.
Xavier sighed and pulled up a chair, "Sit down Jean."
Jean gave a weak smile and sat down in front of Xavier.
"Just relax."
Jean took a deep breath and tried to focus on her dream.
Xavier focused hard but all he could see was black: an empty pit of nothingness. Then, out of nowhere, blood came. A flash of lightning then more blood. It pooled down the streets. It was Kitty's. Lhach was standing there. The cloth was off. His eyes were burning. Kitty's blood was beginning to turn to blue fire. Then everything went black.
Xavier pulled away from the thoughts, "Jean," He stammered, "Did, you look… at his eyes?"
Jean thought hard but couldn't remember much, "Y…yes. They were like fire. Black fire. Moving like monsters."
Xavier sighed, "What about Kitty?"
"Kitty?"
"Did she see his eyes?"
Jean's memory went blank, "No, she didn't."
Outside the room Kitty gasped. She had been listing in the whole time. Was this true? Did Jean really have nightmares about Lhach killing her? Kitty shook the voices out her head and ran to her room.
