Dreams and Destruction

Chapter 15

Jubilee and Creed got in his jeep and drove in another direction. They were heading towards another one of Creed's safe houses that would be both far away from Weapon X and from Logan's cabin. Jubilee was too exhausted to keep a conversation, so she simply slept on the way, while Creed drove.

Jubilee fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of the time when Bastion had kidnapped her and tortured her. The dream then switched to her time in Weapon X. Even though she was only there for few days it was still a traumatic experience. In her dream, she began to run on all fours down a dark hallway, looking for an exit.

"Wait a second." she said, "Why am I running on all fours? This ain't the time to be fooling around like this! I've got to get the hell out of here." she stood up, but lost her balance and fell back down on all fours. She was confused, "What's going on here?"

A voice shouted from behind her, "Come back you wretched little girl!"

"Ah! I'm not going to stick around to find out." she took off again, running as fast as she could to get away from the angry voices that followed her.

"You'll never escape! Escape is futile!"

"Wait! I've got more tests I wish to perform."

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"She's a filthy mutant!"

"Oh, god, I'm in hell!" she cried, just then she noticed something in front of her racing towards her, "Uh-Oh!"

She didn't have time to react. Before she new it, she was knocked to the ground, and pinned. She looked up to see a huge cat like creature, with red glowing eyes, and huge white teeth. It looked at her with a hungry look.

"Sorry, bub, I'm not on the menu." she placed her hands on it's chest and blasted it off of her. The creature howled in pain, but came back for more. She fired many blasts at it, not one hit it, and then it tackled her again. "Get off a me!"

It growled at her. Slowly to her surprise the creature melted into hers. She felt a sensation that she had never felt before and it scared her. She was screaming and fighting to get the creature out of her.

Then suddenly, something hard hit her across the face; she awoke to see Creed straddling her and holding down her arms. He was sweating as if he was in a fight that gave him a run for his money.

"Creed?" she said, "Why are you all sorts of sweaty and stuff? Were you trying to sneak a quickie in, while I was asleep?"

"Frail, I wouldn't try to sneak a quickie while yer asleep. I would have woken yer ass up to get one."

"So… You didn't try to sneak a quickie?"

"No. I was too busy trying to keep your ass from shredding mine!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Look!" he yanked her hands forward so that she could see the long claws at were on the ends of her fingers and thumbs, "Ya nearly nicked something vital of mine that I would like ta keep."

"Oh, god!" she stared at her claws and looked around the jeep, there were claw marks all over the place, she began to cry, "What did they do to me?!"

Creed looked at her, not sure of what to do. He got off of her and sat back down in the drivers seat. For a while he simply stared at her as she cried. The sound of her crying was getting on his nerves and he wanted it to stop, but he also felt sorry for her. He remembers what it was like to be used as an experiment for Weapon X, so he knew how she felt.

"Come on, Frail. Don't cry. It ain't that bad." he said, trying to comfort her.

She sniffed, "I'm not crying because of my claws. I'm crying because my entire body feels like it's on fire!"

"What?!" he looked down at her body and saw that she was suddenly glowing a dark crimson red, "Aw, crap!"

Without thinking, he grabbed her, and bolted out of the jeep. Taking her as far away from it as he could, until he own body became too hot for him to hold. He dropped her on the ground and backed away. The ground burned away under her body. She moaned and whimpered as she felt herself heat up to unbearable temperatures.

"It hurts! It hurts!!! Please, make it stop! Make it stop! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

Then suddenly the whole area was lit up with a deep red glow. A red sphere formed around her body and slowly grew bigger and bigger.

"Oh, this can't be good." said Creed. He quickly turned and ran for cover down in a whole in the side of a ditch.

The sphere grew as big as a bio-dome and then it finally detonated. Destroying everything within a hundred mile radius. There was nothing left, except one big crater and burnt land.

Creed wait for five minutes after the blast before he came out. His eyes widened when he saw the destruction.

"My, God…" he murmured.

He looked for Jubilee's body and found her. She was laying on the ground in fetal position. Her body was shaking from shock. Creed knelt down beside her, he picked her up, and tried his best to keep her warm with his body.

"Creed…" she said weakly, "What happened?"

"Nothin', Frail. You just go to sleep right now."

With that she blacked out and Creed took her and himself as far away from destroyed area as he could before Weapon X got wind this.
