Chapter 2 – Unexpected Surprise

Sarah turned around to see a group of people gawking at her. She took one step back, a little bit frightened. Apparently she had a whole fan group welcoming her in to the school. She laughed to herself and remembered the first time she went to university. She had gotten out of her bomb of a car and was walking up the pathway when a group of screaming females ran straight at her. Feeling quite pleased with herself that there was people eager to see her she then felt disappointment when they ran past her and into the arms of a quarterback idol of the school. Sighing she continued walking to class.

Sarah swung her bag over her shoulder and stepped forward to shake one of the bewildered teachers hand. An African American woman stepped forward; Sarah assumed she was the principal. She noticed that it the skies suddenly got brighter when the lady shook her hand.

"Hello," the principal finally spoke "I'm Ororo and I am the head master at Xavier's School for the Gifted."

"Nice to meet you," Sarah replied shaking her hand firmly.

Her parents had always told her if you shook someone's hand firmly they knew you meant business or wanted to show the person that you were important and didn't like being ignored.

"I'm Sarah. I don't want to sound intrusive but do you know Jean Grey?"

The three students now started whispering between each other and the strong muscled man's eyes widened.

"Yes we did. She was a professor at this school," Ororo said.

"What do you mean you did know her?" Sarah asked.

"She passed away just a couple of days ago…" Ororo whispered.

"What!" Sarah exclaimed.

Her bag dropped to the ground and her hands began to shake. She ran them through her hair and bent down to retrieve her bag. The wind began to pick up and the clouds covered the sun.

"How did she die?" Sarah said, her voice sounding shaky.

"I will tell you first if you tell me who you are and why you want to know?" Ororo spoke softly.

"I'm Jean's sister and I have come here because this was the last place I ever remember Jean being at!"

All of them gasped except Warren. He never knew Jean so he didn't see the big deal. Logan now strode forward and stood next to Ororo.

"So you are Jean's sister?" Logan questioned his eyes narrowing.

Even though there was no questioning that she was her sister because they looked a lot alike but he just felt something different, like something wasn't quite right. He could sense Jean in her.

"Yes I just said that," Sarah sighed staring up at the sky, "I think we need to chat inside because the weather is starting to go physco."

The weather was changing from sunny to dark and then back to sunny. Ororo was confused because Jean had never told them that she had a younger sister. Ororo nodded and turned around and headed back to the school. A millions thoughts were flying through her mind. Sarah followed; a harrowing sorrow filled her mind. Her only sister was now dead and she hadn't even known. She wanted to get to the bottom of this and find out what happened. And for some reason she felt this place wasn't your normal smart kid school.

The moment Sarah entered the dormitories she had the attention of every student. They stared at her and then turned to their fellow students and began to chatter. But it was the same reaction for Sarah. She had seen many students in her life so it wasn't a surprise but it was what they were doing that shocked her. Some were changing colours, levitating and even one was blowing bubbles through their mouth.

She was definitely right about this school, it was different. It was like a scene out of Harry Potter, except for the wands and brooms. After walking up a flight of stairs they had reached the principal's office. Ororo opened the door and Logan, Warren and Sarah filed in. Rogue, Bobby and Kitty went to come in but Ororo stopped them telling them it was a private conversation. Swearing under their breaths they went off to go tell everyone about the new gossip.

Logan now plonked himself in the armchair whilst Warren and Ororo sat on the couch. Sarah stared around the classroom astonished by what she had just seen. Warren surveyed her from where he was sitting. She was wearing skinny jeans with cowboy boots and a black tank top. Even he had to admit she was gorgeous. Sarah turned around and pointed to the door.

"What were those kids doing?" Sarah yelled.

"They were controlling their powers, but mostly showing off. Sarah, you do know this is a school for young mutants?" Ororo asked.

"No, actually I didn't know…"

"Didn't your sister ever tell you that she was a mutant?"

"No my sister never told me anything. By the way you reacted to me I believe she didn't tell you guys much either."

"Your sister has been here her whole life," Ororo explained "Didn't you ever ask her what school was like when she came back for the holidays?"

"No, my sister never returned. I sent her letters, phone calls but she never replied. We were sworn enemies. Ever since I was born she despised me for no apparent reason. All I can remember of her when I was younger was that she was a very dark child. Never listened to anyone and somehow could always pinch my stuff and break them without her even touching them." She paused. " So what your telling me is that Jean was a mutant?"

"Yes," butted in Logan "she was a professor at this school. Your sister was a very powerful mutant that in fact she died twice."

"Twice?"

Logan nodded; even he couldn't really believe it.

"She drowned at Alkali Lakes. Then was resurrected but as her alter ego, a much darker Jean. She joined the Brotherhood just after they made a cure for mutants. You might be familiar with the cure seeing as it was plastered all over the news."

Sarah nodded remembering all the horrible riots it had caused especially the replacement of the Golden Gate Bridge. Warren hung his head; his father had wanted to cure him and hadn't accepted that he was a mutant. Hopefully he would be accepted here.

"We battled against the Brotherhood to save humanity," Logan paused "That's when Jean died."

Sarah looked up at Logan. It was clear that it pained him to say it.

"How did she die exactly?" Sarah asked.

Logan closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.

"I killed her…"

"What?" Sarah cried.

"I had to! She was going to kill us all!"

Sarah's blood began to boil. Her breaths increased and her eyes darkened. The lights began to switch on and off and the floor began to shake. Then voices, three different voices filled her mind. They were all yelling and saying something. Her face cringed with pain and she heard Ororo asking if she was all right. Sarah let out a scream of pain and fell to the ground in a heap.

The lights went out and the fire died.
