A/N: Now for all you Jean fans this chapter is for you, it's mainly Jean, now don't ask me where this idea came from, for at the moment it's 12:31 am in the morning and this chapter just started cause I didn't want Jean in the white room any more so, she's not in the white room any more. Ohhhhhhhh, and people who loved the movie, I'm trying to find one of the posters they had at the movies that was a material one that was huge and it had Jean Grey on it and it was wonderful, and I'm gonna die if I don't get it, so now I've got to ring Waverly Gardens Cinema to see if I can grab or buy it off them.

It's sssoooooo cool!

Ummmmm, I hope you like this chapter, sorry if the story is taking an unknown turn but, I was getting bored with some idea I had for this so I had another one.

But don't worry your votes still count.

Thx, Bye

Chapter 4

Jean woke up to find the room had disappeared, and that she was lying on the rocks that surrounded Alkali Lake. She stood up slowly to take in her surroundings, it was obviously Alkali Lake, but she wasn't sure why she was here. She started walking around the lake, it hadn't changed much, it was still blue and it still contained water.

Jean heard the distant sound of a motorbike engine, she could feel the presence of Scott, but she could connect with him like she used to.

She saw the movement of his bike out of the corner of her eye, she turned to see him, she noticed his unshaven face, his ragged look and the over all feel of a worn person. He hopped off the bike and walked towards the water's edge. She looked at him and she was astounded that he didn't turn when he saw her, therefore she concluded that he couldn't see her.

He walked up a rock head that ran into the water, Jean noticed that he look troubled, confused and slightly angry.

His face strained in pain and he yelled, fell on his knees, ripped off his glasses and disrupted the water with his optic blasts.

He closed his eyes and put his glasses back on and searched the waters surface for any movement, he noticed a couple of ripples coming from the middle of the lake, they grew until there was a hurricane of water within the lake, an sudden light erupted from the eye of the storm, and both Jean and Scott, shielded their eyes.

The storm calmed down and the source of the light rose and landed on the raised rock where Scott was.

Scott stood up, his face amazed, he had no idea what had happened but he was shocked to the core.

He stood open mouthed at the woman before him, she had long rich red hair, high check bones and bright, intelligent green eyes.

"Jean?" he whispered her name in disbelieve.

"Scott?" she replied dubiously.

He couldn't reply, he just hugged her, squeezed her just to make sure she was real.

The Jean that was standing over 20 feet away was astonished, she had no idea what was going on. She believed this was trick, conjured by the Phoenix to toy with her mind. Yet she felt there was some truth in what she was seeing.

She knew that she and the Phoenix had come back at some point but she had no idea when or where that had occurred. And she felt that this, was the Phoenix recollection of what had happened when the had appeared.

She could see that the Phoenix had coaxed Scott into taking his glasses off, Jean ran forward to see what was happening she wanted to see his eyes. The Phoenix looked directly into Scott's eyes and she controlled his power, Jean could see the blue of Scott's eyes, she almost cried. She had never seen his eyes before, for ever since she had known him he had been a mutant with his optic blasting power.

He kissed the Phoenix, Jean was ashamed that he could be fooled by the Phoenix, Logan wasn't fooled, well after a while he noticed a difference, but Scott he had been with her for, sometimes it seemed like, forever. She saw the change in the Phoenix's eyes, the lust for power she had, Scott was starting to deteriorate, his flesh was leaving his body, pieces of himself were going everywhere. Scott pulled away from Phoenix and she just stared at him, she knew he couldn't go anywhere.

His eyes were clouded with confusion, Jean could see the betrayal in his eyes, though she felt he almost welcomed death.

Jean screamed seeing her love die before her eyes, she fell from lack of brain function and air, she couldn't breath all she could so was scream and cry, she couldn't feel anything other than the ripping feeling of her throat as she tried to breath.

Her eyes were sore and her body tired from all her crying, she could believe that she may have started her own lake of tears, her head hurt from the lack of water and air, she breathed in the air, feeling life suddenly without Scott. It tasted different she noted, the air seemed frozen, cold and young. It was no longer a comfort. It was a harsh necessity.

Jean turned her back on the world, she turned away from the water and faced the forest she welcomed it's darkness, the cold, hard trees. And she began to walk, she didn't stop until she found herself back in the white room. She had no recollection of arriving here again, but she threw herself onto the bed and wept a river of tears for Scott.

------------

The Professor looked out his bedroom window, wondering what may be happening out in the world today, he would never of guessed a elicit fight happening between one of his old students and her split personality, for himself, like everyone else, believed Jean Grey to be truly dead this time. He leaned into his chair, remembering the days where he couldn't even walk, he will forever remember Jean as the one who always thought about others, even in her dying minutes.

He got up to go check on the school library, no one went in there any more for it had always been classed as Jean territory. And after she died no one felt they were worthy enough to enter, other than Scott, but he had to many memories from those rooms, that he was trying to suppress.

He walked out into the hallway, went down the stairs (which he is now able to do) and arrived at the main doors to the school library. He manually pushed the doors open and found the room in perfect condition. All the books were neatly away, none were askew on the tables or desks, no rubbish was on the floor. Not even a chair was misplaced. He found this rather odd, but decided that Jean may have cleaned up just before she had died the first time.

He closed the doors again, when he heard the faint humming of a song, he vaguely remembered the song it was one of those one hit wonders you have, but it was a very old one.

He suddenly remembered it was the song 'The Piano Man' that was being hummed. The humming was coming through the thick library doors, so he opened them again, and stood in the door way. He noticed the humming was coming from the fiction area, he walked over and scanned the area for any kind of living creature, but couldn't find any. So he did a manual search, looking up and down each row.

And in the second aisle he found the source of the sound, but it wasn't a living being it was the imprint of a young Jean, looking through the Charles Dickens books in the Library humming 'The Piano Man'. The Professor just stared at the faint imprint of this young Jean look at the book in her hand, skim through the pages and then move onto the next one where she would do the same. Charles stood and

waited until the imprint left, he was amazed anything like that would happen in the mansion. It may be a school for mutants, but a haunted house too, he felt there was too much of a coincident there.

'Now I lay me down to sleep,

Pray the lord, my soul to keep,

If I die before I wake,

Pray the lord, my soul to take.'

Childs night time prayer

A/N: Don't ask me why I wrote the prayer there but it's now 1:46 am and I'm beginning to feel tired and I wrote this very long chapter. It could have been longer but, it also could have been shorter. Originally it was going to be a Jean centred story only but then I remembered that I usually have to centre people in my chapters soo, I wrote an extra 300 words for the Professor.

Yes people, I'm writing real chapters again.

Thx People.

Please R&R.

Love you all. And please make sure you guys all get enough sleep cause I sure ain't.
