Chapter 3 – Wrong Memories
Just about ten seconds ago Sarah, the unknown sister of Jean Grey had collapsed in Ororo's office. Warren sat there with a surprised look on his face while Logan and Ororo tried to revive her. The only light coming in was the sun from outside because of the sudden black out. But how did that explain the fire going out? The sun was starting to go down and Warren could already hear the crickets chirping. Talk about uneventful day,' Warren thought to himself.
They had had three funerals and had a surprising stranger show up and then faint in the office. He recalled her writhing with pain and rubbing her head. Did she suffer from a severe headache? But not even headache made you suddenly faint and switch off electricity. There was a knock on the office door and Bobby walked in, with Rogue and Kitty lingering by.
"What happened to the lights?" Bobby asked.
"We don't know," Logan grimaced.
"What is she doing on the floor?" noticed Bobby.
Now a few more students were gathering around the door to see what happened. Logan sighed and shut the door in their faces.
"She's opening her eyes," Ororo said.
Sarah groaned and fluttered her eyelashes. Her back really hurt and she felt very cold. Sitting up she looked around the room. Had she passed out? Wonderful! She had only been there for ten minutes and she had already had an accident. Rubbing her eyes she tried to get up but she lost her balance. Storm grabbed her arm and helped her up. Sarah's head was throbbing and there was a huge bruise.
"Do you mind explaining what happened?" Logan suggested.
"Logan," Storm glared "Sit down first and let me turn on the electricity."
Storm left the room to find the power circuit to switch the electricity back on. Logan said he would send all the kids back to their rooms. Sarah and Warren were left in the room by themselves. Their eyes were transfixed until Sarah finally broke her focus to rub her head. Warren got up and went over to her. She slid back in the armchair and grabbed her bag.
"Let me look at that bruise," Warren soothed.
He put his hand on her chin and raised it to have a better look. Her skin was soft and she smelt like strawberries.
"You bumped your head," he said.
"I sort of figured," she replied.
He laughed and she smiled back. Unlike the other teachers he was wearing a blue suit with a pinstriped top. She figured he must of come from a wealthy family.
"So what powers do you have?" Sarah asked cock eyed.
'What?" he asked, surprised by the question.
"Well you must be a mutant because this is a school for mutants and I was wondering what your powers are," she asked again.
"Ah, well I can fly," he said grudgingly.
"Cool," she smiled "have you ever flown to Spain or Paris for a night and just partied then returned in the morning without anyone noticing?"
"What?" he laughed "No I haven't actually."
For the first time in ages he actually felt all right being able to fly.
"Because that's what I would do, but I would probably be really tired the next morning. So when did you find out that you could fly? Did you do a Clark Kent thing and jump off the barn roof?"
He sat down on the couch opposite her.
"I found out when I was nine. And no I didn't jump off a barn, it was sort of a surprise but noticeable."
"Oh ok," Sarah laughed, "You have to take me flying one day."
He nodded and they enjoyed the silence. The lights switched back on and they both heard the thudding of Logan's boots come up the hall.
"Damn rascals wouldn't go to their beds. I had to pick them up and then shove 'em in there," he paused "So what's been happening?"
He stared at them suspiciously only to be interrupted by Ororo's presence. She came in, her white her flowing in the air as she closed the door. Once she turned around all of them were staring at Sarah. She moved in her seat feeling uncomfortable.
"Now," Ororo said, "would you like to tell us what happened before?"
Sarah nodded realizing that she wouldn't be able to get out of it. Straightening her back, she cleared her throat ready to speak.
"Two days ago I came back from a job interview at a school. I was planning on becoming a teacher and a fancy private school. I had got dressed in my best suit and did my hair in a bun."
'What's that got to with what just happened?" Logan interrupted.
She sighed and raised her hands to tell him to stop.
"Before Jean died I looked nothing like her. I had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. The night Jean died I awoke to a shining light and three voices filled my head. Then I passed out."
Logan and Ororo stared up at each other and then turned their attention back to Sarah.
"The next morning I woke with red hair and green eyes. As I walked through the house the lights started switching on and off. I went outside to get the mail and I could hear the voices of all my neighbors. When I went to open the door it magically opened in front of me. And that's when I had the memories."
"Memories?" Ororo asked.
"Yes memories," Sarah spoke, "Memories that did not belong to me. They were the memories of my sister."
This was some shocking news to them all. But then Logan had a revelation.
"I know what happened," he said.
"What?" they all asked in unison.
"The first time Jean came back she was able to return to her body because her telekinesis had protect a wall around her. But then the second time I had stabbed her body so that meant she couldn't return to her body but instead went in search for someone else. Someone that she trusted who would take care of her soul."
He turned to Sarah and she shivered. Her sister's soul was living inside of her.
"But that still doesn't explain the three voices," Sarah said.
Ororo kneeled beside Sarah.
"What type of voices were they?" Ororo asked.
"One of them was my sister's, the other was an old man's voice and another of angry young man…"
Ororo gasped. Could it be true? Now everything folded out.
"When Jean killed Xavier and Scott she consumed their souls," Ororo said whilst walking over to Logan, "and when she died and passed her soul and powers to Sarah she also transferred their souls."
Logan rubbed his face. This one girl had four souls in one, including her own.
"You mean I'm now a mutant with the powers of my sister's and two other people?" Sarah assumed.
"Yes," Ororo nodded, "Logan can I speak to you privately?"
Logan and Ororo stepped outside the office.
"Do you know what this means Logan?" Ororo cried.
"That this one girl has the powers of the most powerful mutants that ever lived and has no idea what to do with them."
