The White Sheep and The Black Wolf Part19

X shook his head and frowned in puzzlement. His mind felt as

if it was being probed by delicate instruments and he found it

extremely irritating.

Suddenly he felt himself dropped upon the floor, and Elle

collapsed next to him.

Glancing at her, X found that the color of her skin was a

shocking white. But it was her eyes that startled him the most. They

seemed to be far away, giving the appearance that something was

strangling her.

X looked about to find the cause of her distress. And he

found himself staring at some bizarre creature with the face of one

of those beady-eyed humans, but it was distorted by a grotesque snout

that jutted from it.

Then X realized that it was the Alpha Elle had talked about,

the one who had strong psychokinetic powers.

The pounding on his mind intensified. X grimaced. He had a

desire to end his life, but not in this way. Also he couldn't let his

partner be endangered, however how annoying and ugly she was.

He examined one of the support beams that held up a weak part

in the sewer. The beam was rusty and very unstable; one push could...

The pain in his mind suddenly escalated the point that he

almost collapsed. It was now or never.

With a swift kick, the beam toppled, creating a large crack

in the ceiling above. But the crack didn't stop there. It split and

widened as it traveled out in all directions.

Alpha, surprised of what transpired, stopped his hypnosis and

looked up at the cracking ceiling.

But as he stopped his psychic waves, Elle and X were released

from his control. X felt the weight on him lifted. And Elle recovered

quickly.

"What's going..." she began to ask.

"No time. This way..."

Suddenly the ceiling above them groaned and a large pile of

rocks fell.

Elle screamed.

X ignored the sharp discomfort her scream gave him. Gripping

her arm, he pulled her with him and together they plunged into the

frothing waterway below just as the rubble came tumbling down.
