Of course I could wait and get more reviews, but I am so excited today that I just want to write! And today is a very important day... I'm sure you all know what it is. Anyway, you know the drill, read and review. I'm sure all of you are tired of me saying that. Okay, on with chapter 19!
Chapter 19: Set Free
I never ran so fast in my entire life. It looked as if I eagerly wanted to kill all of the X-Men, but I didn't. I was so close to driving my claws in one of the X-Men's chest but then, I stopped midair.
My head turned over to look at one of the X-Men who did it, and my eyes fell over to Jean. She had her hand raised and was concentrating on me to stop moving and she was also stopping those soldiers beside me.
I wanted to thank her but I couldn't and soon I felt this tingling sensation in my head as if someone was trying to read my thoughts. I figured out that Jean was looking through my mind.
I didn't know what move I was going to do next until I felt as if trying to release energy out of something. I saw my eyes turn over to a cabinet, which had a warning sign on top of it and it said, 'Warning, high boltage inside,' I got confused of why I was looking at it, until I understood what I was about to do. I was going to release electricity from it and kill everyone in this room!
My eyes seemed to lock on it and I felt myself grow hot and I focused hard on that cabinet.
Suddenly, I was thrown to a wall hard and when I landed on my head, I thought I saw stars flying around me.
"What's wrong with her Jean?" I think I heard Storm ask.
"Stryker has put some sort of machine like thing in her head, and she is under his control. I couldn't really find more information because of that thing in her head, but she was planning on killing us as far as I'm sure." Jean answered running up to me.
I heard footsteps approach me and I looked up to see a very blurry face looking at me and one face looked too hairy to me. My head was a bit dizzy from how hard I hit the wall, but my vision senses slowly started to return.
"Is there a way to help her?" I could make out the voice of Wolverine. I didn't know why he even cared if I got helped or not, so his question confused me.
I heard Jean sigh, "No, not unless we could find out the codes to deactivate that system sort of thing in her head."
"Could you take that thing out of her head?" Storm replied.
"Not unless we kill her." Jean answered.
"Interesting, who would have thought to make a mutants mind into a system." I heard Magneto mutter.
"I'm not exactly sure if it is a system, but I could find a way to"—
My full senses finally returned and I jumped directly on top of Jean making her surprised and I prepared to drive my claws right in her chest.
I was about to lower my claws deep in Jeans stomach when three pairs of claws stopped me in time. I looked up to see Wolverine looking at me with the most frightening expression I could ever imagine. If I wasn't under control, I would have crawled away whimpering but this wasn't my doing.
Wolverine pushed me off of Jean causing me off balance and landing on the ground with a loud thud. I tasted blood in my mouth and I spit it out. My head turned to look at Wolverine and he bend down to look at Jean to see if she was okay and then I looked at Kurt and he looked at me sadly somehow, and Storm just stared in shock.
"Enough of this mess." I heard Magneto say.
All of a sudden, I felt as if my bones were getting crushed. I gasped at the pain and it got much worse and my bones felt as if they were going to explode.
"No, wait! Don't kill her!" I heard Storm yell.
"Fine." Magneto muttered.
Then with one more feeling of pain, my spinal cord felt as if it twisted and I suddenly lay still on the ground and couldn't move. I felt as if I was paralyzed and my body was in so much pain, all I could do was moan.
A group of footsteps walked over to me and I couldn't turn my head to look up.
"Is she dead?" I thought I heard Jean ask.
"No, just paralyzed for a couple of minutes. She'll be up soon from her healing ability." Magneto answered.
Soon the footsteps walked away and I couldn't turn my head the other way around to see where they were going. After a while, I heard a screeching noise and it kind of hurt my ear and soon it stopped. I thought I heard something like a door sliding open and those footsteps disappeared to wherever.
I lay motionless and every time I breathed, my ribs ached. I heard background noises like people talking but other than that, there was no noise.
After a few seconds, I heard a pair of footsteps pass by me and I turned my eyes to look who it was and it happened to be Wolverine walking away, alone.
I was thinking that maybe I had control over me again and I tried to yell over to him, but the only thing I did was breath through my mouth, and it wasn't me doing it.
Then, about two minutes later, another group of footsteps passed by and I felt as if all eyes were on me.
I heard someone stop by me and I looked up to see Magneto and Mystique.
"Pity." I heard Magneto say and I thought I heard Mystique laugh. I suddenly realized they were sort of mocking me and that thought made me angry.
They walked away leaving me all alone in my deep thoughts.
Time seemed to pass by slowly and I grew bored immediately until I felt one of my fingers moving. I finally was being able to move again but this time, it felt as if I was moving it.
Minutes passed and soon I could move my entire arm. I expected something else to move it around, but nothing happened. I had a chance of hope that maybe I could lift it, so I did. It raised high over my face and I realized for the first time today, I was smiling again.
Thirty minutes passed and then I could move entirely and I was no longer in control! I got up and I practically screamed from delight. I really didn't know how it happened, perhaps when Magneto messed with my bones, he maybe messed with my head too, probably to set me free.
I suddenly stopped short. I thought I heard the walls shake. Then I felt something-wet land on my head. I raised my hand to touch it and it happened to be water. I looked at it puzzled then I felt a drop of water land on my nose. I looked up to see the ceiling dripping with water and I realized the Dam was going to break through.
I seemed to stare at the ceiling stupidly until I realized I had to get out of here, now.
Okay, glad I'm done with that. Now I realized something, my story is close to ending. Unless I come up with a different idea and make it much longer. And I was thinking on making this story about forty chapters. Oh well, I could make a sequel after this perhaps. All right, I'm still writing this story and I'm thinking of an ending already. I better stop now and think it through later, so please review if you want to see the end of this.
Review Responses:
chelsey-pudge: Lol. Wow, you're very happy that I updated. Great!
Arein: She sure did, but I was thinking Magneto helped her.
psycho88: I know, poor Debra. You know, I was thinking about using Jean to read her mind too, I wonder how you figured out what I was about to do... hmm. Don't worry, I just can't stand the fact Debra trying to kill someone. I don't enjoy doing that.
Osso: I wasn't really thinking about making that chapter a cliffhanger. But I just love that idea.
