"What do you all think your doing" Logan shouted stepping in the door with the rest of the men.

Faith and hope got down off the table and both sauntered over to there enraged father.

"Thank god your here" jubilee cried from her position on the chair, jean had just pulled the tape from her mouth.

"Oh god there animals we are never watching them again ever" kitty yelled finally untied from her chair by Betsy.

"What were you thinking" victor roared strolling up to his two children who had come back from the kitchen ten minutes earlier.

"We were just having fun daddy," Malachi cried quietly.

"You are in so much trouble, apologise to jubilee and kitty now and get out to the car" Nyssa ordered pointing to the door.

Both of the creed children walked up to jubilee and kitty slowly each smiling up at their babysitters trying to look cute enough to forgive.

Neither smile seemed to work as kitty frowned down at them and jubilee just plain ignored them.

"Sorry" they both said in unison.

The creed children silently left the room.

Faith slowly raised her head up to her father smiling sweetly.

Logan growled down at her angrily.

Sadly she looked away.

"Well?" he asked his daughter.

Faith sauntered over to jubilee and kitty.

"Sorry" she whispered before running out the room followed quickly by hope whispering her sorry while running past.

One by one the rest of the children apologised to the girls before heading out.

"Were really sorry girls it will never happen again we promise" warren told them before the parents left for home.

Kitty and jubilee left half an hour later once they had tidied up.

Howlett Residence

Later on that night hope and faith were climbing into bed ready for their parents to come up and read them a story.

Silently Logan appeared in the doorway an angry scowl on his face steadily he walked up to faiths bed sitting down on the edge.

Turning slowly to his daughter he took a deep breath trying to reign in his anger at his children's behaviour.

Just as he was about to speak Ororo appeared stepping inside the room she sat down on hopes bed.

"What you both did today was very wrong you know that right," Ororo asked stroking hopes hair away from her face.

Hope nodded tears shimmering in her big blue eyes.

Logan turned to faith noticing she too was about to cry he wrapped his arms around her holding her as she began to shake slowly tears running down her cheeks, lifting his head off of her crown he looked over to hope motioning for her to come over.

Quickly she climbed out her bed running over to her father hugging him tightly, he returned the hug as her own tears fell.

After a few minutes hope released her father and went back over to her mother.

Who pulled her in for another hug.

Moments later both twins had stopped crying and there two parents had helped them climb into bed.

"Goodnight girls" Ororo said lovingly kissing each of her girls on the head before heading to the door.

Turning off the light next to their beds Logan also headed for the door.

"Sweet dreams he whispered before closing the door tight.

Midnight

Faith lay in her bed sweat dripping off her head as she twisted in her sheets trying to escape from the person in her dreams.

"Leave me alone please" she called out into the darkness.

She had been having these nightmares ever since she could talk, maybe even longer her parents couldn't tell.

It just seemed that since she could talk she was able to tell them about her nightmares.

All she could remember was being surrounded by darkness and out of the darkness a boy would appear telling her to trust him and to follow him.

All she could do was listen.

Once in her dream she told him she didn't want to go with him and he laughed at her, he just kept laughing she had cried to her mother one night.

She didn't know whether to trust him or to ignore him.

But ignoring him never seemed to work any more every time she tried he would stroke her face the first couple of times she swatted his hands away but he just kept putting his hands back on her face.

She assumed he was just a regular boy but one night her dream got worse, seriously worse.

She had fallen asleep and after a few minutes was floating in the darkness and sure enough the boy appeared telling her to trust him and to follow him.

This time she decided to tell the boy to go away and leave her alone but what she didn't know was that the boy in the dreams had gotten stronger and was now ready to activate his plan.

Just as she was about to yell at the boy who had haunted her dreams for years she felt something behind her slowly she turned round but there was nothing there.

Turning back to the boy she noticed something had changed about him he looked older.

His short brown hair was now darker and much longer.

His eyes looked far darker than there usually brown in fact they almost looked black and he was at least five feet taller.

What had changed the most was his face usually he looked playfully, childish and menacing but today he looked absolutely… she couldn't find a word to describe it, she thought long and hard to think up a word the only one she found which came close had to be EVIL.

Seeing the bewildered look on her face he stepped forward stroking his hand across her face as he had done many times before.

She raised her own hand getting ready to smack his away but she found herself unable to do so looking into his dark eyes like this she found her self glued to the spot as his hand moved lower to wrap itself around her neck.

Quickly and roughly he shoved her back by the throat pinning her against a wall that had appeared in her mind unable to move she gazed up at him terrified.

Suddenly and without warning she felt a sharp pain in her neck where his hand was covering and could hear his voice inside her head saying those words again.

(Trust me, follow me.)

"Uggh stop please" she yelled hoping he would release her and the voices would stop.

Unexpectedly he let his hand drop to her sides and brought his other one up to the other side pulling her forward till there noses were touching.

"Now you are mine," he whispered slowly.

Ten Years Later

She screamed loudly sitting up from the bed in a panic remembering that horrid night ten years ago.

She was sixteen now and she was still having that dream.

Reaching over to her alarm clock she pressed the snooze button before standing out the bed and walking two steps to her sisters bed.

"Come on hope we've got school to get to" she said nudging her sister to get up.

Slowly the pile on the bed started to move and a patch of white hair appeared from under the blankets.

"Im up, Im up" hope mumbled sleepily.

Faith crept slowly into the bathroom across the hall from her bedroom trying hard not to wake up her parent or her brothers and sisters.

Turning on the shower she turned to the mirror pulling off her pyjama top she stroked her neck gently running her fingers over the now slightly faded scar.

Sighing sadly she peered at her reflection, memories running through her head of that night and the boy who had scarred her and left this sign, this Red Star.

She turned taking off the rest of her clothes she climbed in the shower preparing for another day.
