Here goes the next chapter.

Emily sat bolt up right and looked around, no-one. She tried sensing where everyone was. Big mistake, her head felt like a 10 tonne weight had just been dropped on it. Wincing she got up and made her way to the door. Half way there her foot felt something. Too tired to care what it was Emily carried on walking. And again she trod on something. Finally reaching the light switch Emily turned the light on.

"Uh, go away, I want five more minutes." Brennan's hand tried to swot an invisible fly.

"Emily, what are you... Emily? Oh thank God." Emma rolled over and got up. How the did I fall asleep? This question was quickly answered by another, was Emily alright?

"Emma, I'm fine. Honestly now why are you in my room?" Emily hoped that her dreams had stayed just that; hers. No such luck.

Emma began to explain interrupted by Brennan a couple of times. Emily looked at her sister, she could wipe their minds, erase what they had seen, what they had felt. Should she do it?

Emma's almost instant answer was no. Emily was forbidden from messing around in anybodies head until further notice. Brennan was now total confused. The atmosphere had just changed so quickly and then reverted back to its present state that he guessed that some other conversation, other than the verbal one was being conducted.

Shalimar walked in at that moment. "Good morning, we were just wondering if someone who can cook would make breakfast? Oh and you miss' owe an explanation to us. See you soon." Shalimar left. Now that I know Emily can create and plant that much fear, acting normal around hers gonna be difficult. She thought.

Breakfast went as pleasantly as it could have. Forced small talk and complements about the breakfast were exchanged. A few small chores were done and then the main event. Something that Emily wished she'd never have to do. She wasn't sure which was worse. Her memories or talking to mutant x about them.

Everyone assembled in the living room. Lexa, Jesse and Shalimar on one sofa. Emma and Brennan on a second and Emily on a chair.

"I think for simplicity we, or you should ask Emily questions and she to answer truthfully. And remember I will know if you're lying." Emma's expression was emotionless as she spoke. She knew how hard Emily and worked to hide not only the extent of her powers but the reasons behind the powers.

Shalimar was the first to speak. "Last night, was that real?"

"In a word no. Not for any of you at least. Think of it like a film. A home made film. Your just watching, you can't alter what's going on, you can't change the outcome. You just watch."

Jesse was next up "But for you, it's real?"

"Yeah, I lived through it. For me it's a memory which my powers bring to life."

Brennan spoke up next. "Why were they doing that. Drowning you and letting you escape?"

"To advance my powers. Just as Adam does with you. Only he guides you, lets you take important steps on your own. They meddled. They made me run for my life, to improve my abilities to escape. They drowned me to make me move molecules, rather than objects. They injected me to make my powers progress. Simple really."

"Who did that to you?" Lexa looked concerned as if it was an unthinkable act. And it was at this point that Emily faultered.

Emma knew that either this happened now or it never happened. But at the back of her mind was that little annoying voice telling her to stop it to wipe their minds and be done with it. The sisters eyes met and Emma smiled at Emily and nodded and Emily smiled back.

"You want to know who did that to me?" There was nods around the room. "Same people who have been there through out my entire existence. My parents. It wasn't them who chased after me. It wasn't them who beat me. Not then anyway. But it was them that abounded me. Left me to fend for myself. I don't know who beat me other that they were under the order of The Dominon. So..." Emily trailed off and she began to cry.
