*~*~*~*
I opened my eyes from the dreamless sleep I had evidently fallen into on the ride to the institute. The car had come to a sudden halt in front of a mansion larger than even my wildest dreams allowed. My eyes darted to the people in front of me who were opening their doors.
"You grab Riley, I will grab Hespera. No need to wake them this late at night." Professor Summers stated opening my side, while Jean Grey opened Riley's side.
I'm up, don't touch me." I exclaimed startling Professor Summers. He held his hands up aggravated by my stubbornness. He backed out of the way and I got out of the car I had been in far to long.
"Jean I can grab Riley, if you just get this one to a place to sleep for the night. Professor Xavier can see her in the morning." Professor Summers told Jean as she was unbuckling Riley's safety belt. She nodded and led me to an empty guest room.
"Hespera, you may sleep here tonight, and then in the morning the Professor will see you and we can maybe contact your family if you have any." Jena told me as I looked around the all too nice room.
"You won't need to." I told her as my interests looked to the mirror that showed me how horrible I looked. My face was dirty and looked like I hadn't showered in weeks. I didn't smell I knew that, but I looked like I was a homeless dud. Which I guess in a way I was. yes Eliza Nicole Xavier was a creep, a failure, and a mistake. Mutants shouldn't exist we should all be normal, not freaks with powers.
"Goodnight Hespera. is that your real name?" The sound of Jean's voice took me out of my thoughts.
"To you it is." With that I closed the door and I pondered what to do next.
Escape came first to mind, but my body was too worn and my strength was as weak as a flea. I needed sleep and my body moved to the bed against all my brains protests. I laid down, and I fell into a meaningless sleep.
Hours later I woke with a fear stinging the back of my neck. I was screaming I knew that and I couldn't figure out why. People surrounded my doorway trying to look in. My sheets were soaked in sweet and the air seemed to stench with darkness.
Jean and Professor Summers came running into my room followed by another woman. Jean came to me first and calmly wrapped her arms around me. I wondered why she was doing this, for in the past no one would ever touch me, I was different then all of that others, and they all knew it. But now with actual human contact I felt a safeness I had never felt before. Mother and Father had never hugged me either, they just like the others were afraid of me. I wondered how someone who had given birth to could love you yet be so afraid of you. It didn't seem right.
Jean wiped my cheeks that were stained by my unnoticed tears. I couldn't figure out how I had become so afraid, somehow in my dreams I had seen something that had terrified me more than I had ever been before. But then I recalled a time I had felt this much fear before. It had been when I was seven. I had woken up crying and screaming and at that moment I had received a distant yet comforting hug from my mother. Father had too hugged me and kissed my forehead, and unlike mother's they were filled with love. And after that incident I had made up my mind to leave them. For danger was coming, and even then, even without the love they gave to me, I had felt the need to protect them, and I did.
"Tell me child what did you see?" The woman whom had snow white hair and looked like a goddess. She noticed my pondering face and added. "I'm Ororo Munroe."
"Hespera." I introduced. "And I can't remember." Jean let go of me and stood up casually next to Ororo. Ororo nodded her head.
At that moment I recognized an old voice I hadn't heard for years. Actually I don't remember when I last heard his voice, for my mother had banished him from ever seeing me. I had though spoken to him on my seventh birthday over the phone. Yet I knew that the voice had not changed and that I would lay my eyes on my grandfather in a matter of seconds.
"Children go back to rooms, and since it is almost seven get ready for the day." The crowd cleared away and in it's place an old man sitting in a wheelchair looked at me tenderly. I wanted to hide from his caring gaze but I couldn't.
"Hespera, this is Professor Xavier." Jean told me and he wheeled in not taking on glance away from me. I nodded in acceptance to the knowledge that I had already known.
"Eliza?" Grandfather asked me his voice no louder than a whisper. The other three looked at him confused. I nodded in response. "I see. Please child, come with me."
I slowly got up and followed the four through the halls. Students looked at me in awe and quickly averted my gaze. Around the next corner I saw Riley arguing with a girl around my age. As we came closer we were noticed to the pair and Riley came running towards me.
"Hespera, what happened? Are you okay?" Riley's care in her voice made me smile.
"Ri, I'm fine!" I exclaimed.
"Riley Pare, get ready for breakfast!" Ororo ordered the child. And obediently she ran off.
We reached an office, which I assumed to belong to grandfather. The others took their seats and I stood there unknowingly. Grandfather smiled at me, and nodded to a chair across from the trio.
"Eliza, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you know?" I said just as quiet as him. The three others just looked in anticipation as to what would happen next.
"Eliza, please tell me, what you doing in New York?" Grandfather questioned. "Why so far away from your family?"
"Why not? Colorado is no longer my home. It hasn't been for a number of years."
"What are you talking about? Haven't you been with your parents?"
I sat there pondering what to say next. Obviously my parents hadn't told him, even after all these years. How could he have not known? I thought he was all knowing, more powerful then I.
"I've been gone for a number of years. Six, yes six years, I have been gone."
Grandfather held his heart as if it were breaking, and in a way I guess it was. Jean came over to him and whispered to him. Ororo went and got him a drink of water, and Scott just sat there glaring at me.
"Scott get me the phone I need to make a call."
