Chapter 3: The Show must go on
" I never thought I would find you here," The Dark Phoenix replied in a monotone voice.
"I never thought you would find me," Carmen slowly backed away from the woman. She began
to clink the daggers together. Carmen shifted uneasily from one foot to the other, suddenly she
leaped over the table that was her only boundary and protection from the woman...but she would
rather endanger her own life to protect the professor. The Dark Phoenix noticed her, as Carmen
came tumbling toward her, she grabbed her arm and violently flipped her over onto her back.
Carmen landed with a "thud".
"Do you have death wish?" The Dark Phoenix calmly asked as she attempted to choke Carmen.
Because of her quick reflexes Carmen escaped her death by giving the woman a swift kick to the
head. The Dark Phoenix flew against the bookcase and it collapsed on her.
"Professor, we have to leave and get the others...I don't think she's dead," Carmen quickly
picked herself off of the floor, and gazed at the mountain of books that seemed to have knocked
the woman unconscious.
"I think you're right." Carmen ran out into the hall, she was followed by the professor.
"Do you think she really came to kill me?"
"I don't know. But what I do know...is if you want something done right, do it yourself!" Carmen
suddenly fell to the floor as she was hit from behind.
"Who the hell are you?!"
" Your worst nightmare!" Carmen recognized the voice...Mystique.
"John, John! Help me!" Carmen jabbed her elbow into Mystique's ribs and fled from the hall.
Rogue had heard all the commotion and was running in Carmen's direction. Carmen had fallen
into Rogue's arms, out of breath, and no longer having any strength.
"What happened?" the smooth Southern accent rang through the hallway.
"We...we...we..have to go help Professor X," Carmen tried to reply, as she desperately gasped for
air.
"Come on...I'm gonna get Logan," Rogue helped Carmen to her feet and they raced for the
kitchen.
Mystique, finally able to take the pain, rose to her feet and looked back to the library. The Dark
Phoenix was limping out of the room...exhausted...and pissed, she looked to the floor, and strewn
on the floor was the professor.
"Don't just stare at me! Get that bitch!" A smile curled onto Mystique's lips as she strode
through the mansion looking for her victim.
