Chapter 21

"Hello." I hear a male voice speaking as I turned to see him smiling at me as I noticed the wheelchair.

"Hi." I compliment but still not sure of what he wanted for me as I looked around at the bar.

"My name is Charles Xavier. I am not here to warm you." "I am just like you."

"Wait, how are you in my head?"

"Just like you can be in mine." He says as I smile at him. Finally someone I could related too after all this time.

"I'm Genevieve McCullough."

"It's a pleasure meeting you Genevieve." He says as we shake hands and I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Is there others, like us?"

"Of course. I have a school with many people like us." He says as I look at him surprised. There are more? A school of more?

I wake up from the dream as I get up and walk to the bathroom to wash my face trying to truly wake up from the dream. It wasn't a dream it was reality, a memory of a time who looked so far away now. As I get back into my bedroom I see the papers on the desk and I take a deep breath. I knew all those memories were because of those papers that were sent to me yesterday.

"This is all part of the historical society, continuing efforts to give back to the community. Thanks to the generous donation of the Fell family."

"You have been off lately." I turn surprised as I saw Damon next to me as we listen to Carol speaking.

"What do you want?"

"You didn't even saw me coming. You must be really distracted." He says as I walk away from the group.

"You're concern."

"Me, of course not."

"Great, so stop asking." I tell him as I see Mason and Stefan shaking hands. "Why can't you be like that?"

"What are you doing?" He asks as soon Stefan saw us and walked in out direction.

"Negotiating peace on your behalf."

"I don't want peace."

"Consider it opposite day." I tell the oldest Salvatore. I am not in the mod for brother fight or teen drama today.

"Stefan, please tell me you don't seriously think a hand shake just solved our problem."

"No, actually I think that the first chance Mason Lockwood gets, he's gonna drive a stake through your heart and then through mine, all because you took it upon yourself to try to kill him. So thank you, because we don't have enough problems." Stefan tells him as I nod knowing very well he was right.

"Welcome Genevieve." A man says shaking my hand. "Sorry, my name is Hank McCoy." He tells me as I smiled at him as I saw the blue skin on him.

"Pleasure meeting you too Hank." I say with a smile but still a little taken back as I looked at Charles, not by his appearance but by all of this. The school, the mutants, everything.

"Hank, why don't you leave me and Genevieve I would like to talk with her." He says as he takes me to his office.

"So, this is a school." Looks more like a huge mansion.

"Yes, I would like you to attend. We are still rebuilding."

"Rebuilding?" I ask confused. The place seemed pretty good for a place that was being rebuilt.

"Yes, we had a problem, but nothing to worry about. We are starting fresh."

"Look, I don't want to sound like a typical 'I don't care about school' type of girl but I haven't been in one for."

"2 years. I know." He says taking me by surprised. He knew? How? "I know what happened Genevieve." He says as offering me a chair next to him which I accepted sitting down.

"I heard you're a professor. You don't look like one." God seriously, you just said that Genevieve?

"I am." He says with a smile. "And I would like you to join the school, if you don't want to study, it's ok, you can still leave in here."

"It's not like I don't want to study. I'm just broke. I need a job."

"I heard you can sing."

"I think you heard a lot about me." I say as we smile at each other.

"True. There is a coffee shop very close to where we leave, why don't you ask for a job?"

"Did you listen to me?"

"What." I say looking at my sister. "I'm sorry Elena, I was distracted."

"You're ok. You know if you want you don't need to be here. Everyone deserves a day off."

"Elena you're going through a bad time, I want to be here for you."

"And you have been always helping everyone. Take a day off go rest or do something you like. There is Caroline." My sister says walking to her friend.

"You're smart you know." Charles tells me as I look at the dark sky.

"I just don't like to concentrate in things I don't like."

"Like what?"

"Math." I say chuckling.

"We can't all be good at everything. Logan told me you are the best in shelf defense classes."

"Guess it runs in the blood. Or DNA." I say as we both smile at each other.

"Or both."

"What happened?" I say looking at the wheelchair. Way to be nice. "Sorry I shouldn't have brought that up. I just have been wondering about it."

"A bullet, it paralyzed me."

"I'm sorry." I tell him as touched my necklace.

"What is that? Sorry I shouldn't have asked." He says with a teasing smile, it was something you didn't see coming from Charles, or professor as most people called him in here.

"Fair enough." I say with smiling at him as I opened it and show to him. "It's a locker and that is my father and I."

"Why is the other space empty, it has space for one more."

"I guess I just don't have more people to hold close to my heart."

"Maybe with time you will have." He tells me holding my shoulder as for some kind of impulse I kiss him on the cheek but once I was pulling away all I could see was his piercing blue eyes as I saw him leaning in but still waiting for me to decide so I close our distance, kissed his lips softly.

I open the draw seeing the necklace. opening it to see the two pictures in there, the compete locker, making me smile at the nice memories which soon disappear as my eyes saw the files on the table and I got my phone. I needed to do this for the sake of my mind.

"How bad is it?"

"They have Mystique." The deep voice tells me as I end immediately the phone call making deep breaths and gathering my thoughts and them I call Elena.

"Hi."

"Lena, it's me Sofia, remember when you told me I needed some time for myself."

"You want that time."

"Yes, but only if you are100 per cent sure everything will be fine. I won't be gone for too long."

"Take the time you need. After all when was the last time you saw your friends?" Friends, oh Elena, if you knew.

"You're sure. I don't want you to feel neglected."

"100 per cent sure."

"Erik, what a nice surprised." I heard Charles voice as I turned and saw a handsome man at the door.

"Hello old friend. And this is?"

"Oh, Genevieve, this is Erik an old friend of mine." He tells me but I could see the tension between the two so called friends.

"Pleasure." He tells me with also an accent, different from Charles. Charles spoke with an English one but this friend of him didn't spoke with another accent, one I couldn't really figure out.

"The pleasure is all mine."

"So Erik what brings you here?" He says as I see the so called Erik looking between Charles and me as I still had my eyes on his friend, knowing he was once of us, finding mutants is something Charles taught me once. "It's ok, Gennie is one of us."

"Ok, I need your help."

"My help? Why would you need my help?"

"Because they capture many of us."

"Why now Erik?"

"They have Emma, Charles." He says and that got my attention.

"Emma Frost?" I ask as they both look at me surprised.

"You know her?"

"She's my mother."

"Name." A mutant asks me as I enter the brotherhood coven.

"You gotta be joking me." I say ignoring him walking inside anyway as he holds my arms and I roll my eyes. he was the one who started I think as I twist his arm and shoulder. I put got my leg on his backs with his head facing the ground, making pressure on his ribs.

"Erynys." A commander voice says as I see man underneath me shiver.

"I am so sorry." He says pleading as I let him go and walk to the man dress as his typical I run the world with an amazing hat on style.

"Magneto." I say as he moves his head and I follow him into an empty room as he uses his powers to close the doors.

"Nice to see you came."

"My name is not Erynys, its Genevieve Sofia Foster McCullough."

"Well, it's always difficult to know wish one you're using." He says and seconds before I realized I was being pushed against a wall as I smirk appear in his lips as his hands hold my waist as I pulled my legs around his.

"It's been a while since I last saw you."

"It was months ago." I try to tell him but his lips were already one mine as my body, as usual, betrayed me, making me give into the pleasure and into him.

*Days after*

"Thank you for coming all the way over to safe." Mystique, no Raven, told me. When she is being nice, she is always Raven to me, unfortunately seeinf Raven as something at was becoming more impossible to see.

"What is family for?" I ask her with a smirk as she leans in me kissing with a sweet and fast gesture but we are interrupting as my phone rings and I see its Elena. "Hi Lena."

"Jenna is in the hospital. Katherine made her stab herself."
