Emma woke from her dreams to find her body tightly tangled within her blankets, almost as though she was in a straitjacket. Untangling herself Emma pushed her way out of the bed. Her feet hit the floor with a gentle thud, looking at the clock she saw it was she early. She walked to her closet, where she had place her few clothes. She moved silently with timid steps so as not to wake Rogue. She opened the door and started to reach for a top to wear only to find herself stopping halfway. Voices reached her mind as her hand reached out, filling every empty space inside her. Emma let out a delicate whimper and fell gracefully to her knees. The voices only grew louder; whispered thoughts become banging drums inside her mind, screaming to be heard. Emma's hands moved without her body realizing it, to hold her head in her hands. Leaning forward over her knees Emma let out a pained scream.
Rogue woke to the sound to a pained scream. Forcing her eyes open she saw Emma kneeing of the ground with her hands holding her head. Pulling herself out of bed to hurried over to the other girl.
"Emma?" she whispered toughing her arm with a gloved hand
Emma looked up at her tears running in trails down her cheeks.
"Please don't let them take me away again" she whispered before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she collapsed on the floor.
Not too far away in a school for gifted youngsters and man sat in his wheelchair at his desk. Standing facing him in front of the desk stood a tall African woman with snow white hair.
"Storm, I found two more. Will you talk to them?"
The woman only nodded in reply and exited through two tall oak doors.
A knock sounded on the girls bedroom door. The two looked over at it. Emma lay in bed reading a book while waiting for her headache to go away. The voices had faded after she collapsed her telepathy then returning to normal. Rogue sat on the carpeted floor playing cards.
"Anna, Emma, there's someone to see you" a voice called though the door.
Anna pulled herself up from the floor and opened the door. Standing next to the senior worker stood a tall African woman with snow white hair.
"I'm Ororo Monroe" the women said "may I come in?"
