"Hello you are all probably wondering what my role in this story is going to b- oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is Adamska Leonavich Vinigrado, but you can call me Adam anyway as I was saying, my role in this story is going to be don't worry it will all mak sence soon if not should be fun"

It's the Christmas Holidays and all of the students who can have gone home for the holidays which leaves a number of students at the school but theres always the mall.

"So what your telling me is that in order to live you need to drain the life energy from people and if you take it from a mutant something bad happens" Asked Kurt trying to figure out if he had it right "Yes thats right, your the only one I've told and I trust you can keep a secret" Adam was fairly worried as he eats "I can't even taist this and I don't need food...in once place where I was they called me a vampire" "That really is a sad story" Kurt knew what it was like to be called names like demon, monster, and creature.

Inquisativly kurt asked "Have you ever...killed someone?"

The question was like being hit in the stomach with a sledg hammer, but he knew it was lagitament and memories of that faitfull night washed back to his mind

/a few days prior to his arival at the school/

Adam is in an apartment holding his stomach from the pain of hunger so intence he was bleeding from the mouth "Shelia I..I can't I could kill you" Adams words were choked in blood that was rapidly turning black on his lips, takeing his hands gently and placing them against her tempels "Don't worry about me, you need to live...for the cause" And almost against his will he saw her age and wilt from a beutiful red head to an aged gray who's eyes then turned white and soon turned to dust.

"Adam?...Adam?" he was stired back to attention by a tugging on his forarm "Adam I'm sorry if my question upset you" "No...it's alright I call you my friend you have a right to know, yes I have killed before" Kurt almost knew that was going to be the answer but for some reason he wasent shocked "You don't need to say anymore"

All of a sudden a huge explosion outside alarms the x-men inside the mall

Upon exiting they find that the Acolytes are digging a very large hole in the hole in the parking lot, Logan almost imediatly jumped into Sabertooth, Pyro is haveing to deal with Kitty, Colossus is also haveing a difficult time with Rogue, and mastermind is tearing Adam's mind almost apart.

After a long fight the x-men regroup and so to the Acolytes, "ok everyone I want you all to run once I grab Magneto, anyone who dosent stays at there own risk Jean I need you to get me there once you do run as fast as you can" Adam was planing on unleashing a beast in order to win a fight, the others begrudgingle agreed.

"Hold on" Yells Jean as she uses her mind to throw Adam above the acolytes to Magneto,

/Time out/

"I should say that what I am going to describe from here on was a mystake, you'll understand when it's over"

/Time in/

Grabing onto Magneto's arms he strigels to get away but it's too late Adam is ubsorbing Magneto's life force and then lets go and drops to the ground shaking "What are you doing there fool kill him" Demandes a very pissed off Magneto.

As they begine to close in the X-Men do as they were instructed and run...very..very fast. a black blob bursts from Adam's back and lands on top of him conforming to his body, standing up was not Adamska but the symbiote - Darkness.

It was over an hour later that a very grogy Adam steped from the parking lot and colapsed.

Returning the X-men couldent beleave what they saw, Magneto being carried by a blodied Colossus & a single armed Pyro, Gambet had run shortly after the whole thing started and sabertooth limped ahead.

As Adam was lifted and carried back to the school a fraze keeped going over threw almost everyones minds "He was able to beat the Acolytes and Magneto so easily without any help"

Everyone except kurt...who was thinking "Why didn't he kill any of them...from what he told me he could back done so much more perhaps he's gaining controle"

But unfortunatly the answer wasent that simple, laying in the pit was a young man no older then 20 whose skin had entirely been removed, folded and placed neatly next to him, in order to become human the Symbiote must kill, and by doing so return it's hoast back to normal.

"I told you it would make sence...or...maybe not anyway I've hardly been here and I really needed to get what I do out into the open, oh I'm sorry it's over"
