A/n: 49 reviews! OMG! I still so love you guys! LOL

I'm really sorry for not updating, but I kind of didn't have enough time because of my 4 weeks old brother, exams, and homework. And of course the curse we authors sometimes get writer's block! Damn writer's block to hell!

So I'm really sorry!

I hope all you guys like this chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!

I think Chapter 9 will be the ending for this story.

Chapter 8; Flagon and Nightmares

6 Years Later; June 2010

"Class here is a beautiful French praise that someone in class made," said Mrs. Youngers, the French teacher. She smiled at the girl who made it; the girl in return smiled shyly and sank in her chair.

The teacher read it out loud for her class, "Pour aimer est le plus plus grand et merveilleux cadeau que n'importe qui pourrait contenir. Pour habiter, grandir en haut, serait le deuxième plus grand cadeau de tout."

[It read, in English: To love is the most greatest and wonderful gift that anyone could contain. To live, to grow up, would be the second greatest gift of all.]

"That's beautiful!" cried a few girls in the class. The boys shrugged like they usually did.

A little girl, around the age of ten, screamed. An old woman around the age of 30 was throwing the child into the lake.

"MOURIR LE MUTANT!" screamed the French woman. The girl screamed even more, until she hit the water. The woman laughed like a maniac. A man walked behind her.

"La bonne Bonbonne de travail," the man laughed with her. Although the man is not French, he speaks it.

"Remercie," She said turning around to face him "mais cela'le s tout je pas fait."

"Et que'le s cela?" asked the man.

"Ceci," she said and leaned in to kiss him.

"HA!!!!" screamed an eight year old girl who was called Rachel Daphne Summers. Rachel started to cry.

"RACHEL!" yelled Rogue and Scott Summers rushing in the room. Rogue hurriedly confronted Rachel by hugging and shushing her. Scott was rubbing her back whispering its okay's.

When Rachel had calmed down Scott asked, "Sweetie, why were you screaming and crying?"

"Someone died, a girl, she was just ten... she was killed by a woman, she was around her early 30's, the woman was French. The girl's name was Emma Weston." Rachel mumbled. "I saw it, they threw her in the lake, and laughed, and then... then they kissed."

"Rachel hunny are you all right?" asked Rogue, she was worried for her daughter.

"The GIRL! She was killed mom! She was killed by a man and woman! The woman's last name was Flagon," yelled Rachel at her mother and father.

"RACHEL! It was just a nightmare baby," smoothed Scott.

"NO IT WASN'T! Check with X!" yelled Rachel to her father, X was Professor Charles Xavier. "ASK HIM ABOUT EMMA WESTON! And you'll see!" she screamed before running out of her room.

"Scott?" Rogue looked up at her husband.

"Don't worry sweetheart, she'll be back." Scott said kissing Rogue gently on the lips.

"Let's check with Charles." And they walked towards Xavier's office was.

And Rachel ran, ran into the garden, to the one tree she felt connected to and climbed it. She climbed to the highest branch there was on that tree and looked across the trees to see the sun up, and a gray cloud far away.

The tree always brought Rachel peace when ever she had nightmares, when she was angry, upset, etc. She didn't know why, but it did.

"Mère," she whispered unknown to her, besides she didn't know what it meant anyway.

If you also don't know how to speak French either, here's the translation:

A little girl, around the age of ten, screamed. An old woman around the age of 30 was throwing the child into the lake.

"DIE MUTANT!" screamed the French woman. The girl screamed even more, until she hit the water. The woman laughed like a maniac. A man walked behind her.

"Good job Flagon," the man laughed with her.

"Thanks," She said turning around to face him "but that's not all I can do."

"And what's that?" asked the man.

"This," she said and leaned in to kiss him.

PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks,
