That was it. Kitty was dead.

Lhach starred down at the body and knelt down in front of it. He looked carefully at what had once been Kitty Pryde and a tear fell from his face. Inside Lhach's mind was screaming but his body refused to move.

He carefully picked up Kitty and held her in his arms.

"I'm sorry."

At that moment, everything fell silent. Those were first English words Lhach had spoken in a long time. Everything in the room became blurry and the only thing Lhach could see clearly was Kitty. But Lhach sensed someone behind him. But he couldn't hear or see anything but he knew someone was there. He turned around cautiously only to see a ghastly figure floating above the ground. It was a young girl, no older than 7 or 8. Her skin was as white as snow and she was wearing a long white dress. The girl held something dearly in her hands as if her life depended on it. It was a white rose. But the girl's messy black hair and blue eyes reminded Lhach of someone. Lhach froze as he realized who the girl was. It was Cloie.

Lhach starred at his sister in shock. Cloie's face was immapsive but her eyes would hold back not one emotion. They grew distressed as she saw Kitty lying in a heap of blood.

Lhach tried to say something but he couldn't move a muscle. Cloie walked over to Kitty as if she was walking on air. She knelt down beside her and looked into her gray eyes. Cloie turned towards her brother and frowned when she saw the blood on his hands and face.

Lhach slowly walked over to them, not taking his eyes off of Cloie as she got back up and stood in front of him. Cloie focused her gaze on Lhach's eyes. She looked intimately at them but Lhach tried to back away. But when he realized nothing was happening to Cloie he stopped. Inside Lhach's mind, something was overpowering the darkness. A blinding light appeared and slowly faded out the black. Suddenly, Lhach's eyes began to turn lighter, but still a dark shade of gray.

Lhach didn't realize what was happening until Cloie's eyes began to turn black. Lhach starred at her curiously as her beautiful blue eyes became black like Lhach's was.

However, what both of them hadn't noticed was the speck the black still remaining in Lhach's eyes.

Cloie looked away from her brother and back towards Kitty. She glided over to her but this time she moved slower and less gracefully.

Cloie reached out and took Kitty's hand in hers. Kitty's skin slowly regained its color and her eyes became blue once more. The large wound by her neck stared shrinking and the blood on floor disappeared. But the better Kitty became, the worse Cloie looked. Cloie's skin grew colorless and almost see-through and her veins started shrinking. When Cloie let go Kitty's eyes began to move. Lhach starred at both her and Cloie in amazement.

But when Kitty picked her head up, Cloie fell to her knees. An open wound appeared by her neck and she slowly began to vanish. Her white dress soon turned dark red. Lhach tried to run towards her but Cloie looked up one last time at him and disintegrated into thin air.

Lhach ran over to where Cloie had been but there was nothing left of her. Lhach looked around frantically, hoping to see her elsewhere, but she was gone. Lhach turned around and saw Kitty sitting up. She looked around and realized she was holding something in her hands. It was a white rose.

Kitty looked up at Lhach in confusion. His eyes were getting lighter. Lhach tried to say something but suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from behind them. Dust and sand flew everywhere as Lhach drew his arms up to his face, protecting his eyes. Kitty fell backwards, still a little bit shaky after what had just happened. The smoke and sand slowly began to drift away, revealing Jean, Kurt and Xavior, hovering above the clutter of boulders and bricks that had been thrown to the side in confusion.

Lhach lowered his arms and starred up at the figures as they moved in slowly. Lhach's mind was telling him to move but his body refused.

Jean gently levitated to the ground but in an attempt to look away from Lhach's eyes, she saw Kitty sitting next to him. Kurt immediately knew who it was and teleported in front of Lhach, in an attempt to punch him, but Lhach's mental powers were too strong. Kurt went flying back into a wall and passed out on impact. Jean looked hard at Lhach and looked past his eyes. She looked into his mind but somehow she couldn't break through. There was some sort of energy blocking Lhach's mind. Jean gave up and got to her feet.

"What did you do to her?" Jean yelled at Lhach.

But Xavior held out his hand as if to silence her. She looked at him, perplexed, then looked over to Lhach.

Kitty got up and ran towards Jean. But to her surprise Lhach did not make a move to stop her.

"Don't hurt him!" Kitty cried, "His eyes! They're turning lighter! He's didn't hurt me!"

Xavior nodded, "Lhach, I know you. You're not the kind of person to let anything take control of you!"

Lhach held out his head and blue fire surged through the ground and exploded behind them.

"Why are you letting this thing take over you? Why are you giving up so easily?"

"Pleh em," Lhach spared one word before lunging at Xavior. But he was too quick.

Suddenly, Lhach fell to the ground and everything went black.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Lhach, can you hear me?" A voice exclaimed, "Lhach?"

Lhach shut his eyes tight, "Teg yawa!"

"Please Lhach! Let me help you! We can fight this thing off if you just let me help you!"

"Pleh………esaelp!"

Xavior strained hard and he was able to get inside Lhach's mind. The blinding white light was getting stronger. Xavior look at in surprise. He focused harder and found Lhach. There were two of him though. One of him was only5 years old. The age at which Cloie died. His eyes were light blue and he was crying. The other one was older. 16 year old, the age he is now. His eyes were dark black and he was screaming something. The 5 year old was whispering 'Pleh em' But the 16 year old was screaming, 'teg yawa morf em'. Xavior focused on the older Lhach and a huge blue and gray vortex appeared behind him. The 5 year old looked at Xavior in confusion and stop whispering. But when he stopped whispering the older Lhach got stronger.

"Lhach! Don't give up! Help me get rid of this!" Xavior called out for the 5 year old.

But he just stood there, terrified.

"Lhach! I will not let this thing take over you! And you shouldn't either!"

The older Lhach' screaming was getting loader. Xavior could barely stand it.

"Lhach!"

The younger Lhach looked at the older one and started saying something.

"Og yawa." He whispered.

The older Lhach starred at him hard.

"Og yawa."

The older Lhach tried to scream louder but no matter what he did he was only getting quieter.

"Go yawa!"

The other Lhach began to move back into the vortex.

"GO AWAY!"

With those last few words the vortex exploded with light then everything went black.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
