Chapter Two

"Why are you here and covered in blood?" Mr. Young stepped back.

I stepped back and rubbed the blood and tears from my face. I only succeeded in smearing it more. Mr. Young stepped forward and ushered me into the house. We took seats in the living room.

"I…I…don't know…I woke up and found my family butchered around me. I ran for help and ended up running all the way here. Please help me!" I sped through my explanation.

"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down! Where is your house? I will send the police to check it out. Just relax, okay? Everything will be fine." He said soothingly.

As he reached for the phone, Nicole walked in. She froze for a split second then slammed her index and middle fingers against her dad's forehead. He dropped unconscious. She then turned on me swiftly and slugged me straight in the nose, breaking it. I then blacked out.

When I awoke I was in a ditch by a forest and next to a road. I could not see anything for miles, but trees and road.

GO EAST.

"Who said that? Where are you? Hello? Help me." I called out to the voice.

I AM PROFESSOR XAVIER. I TEACH OUR KIND TO USE THEIR POWERS. MY SCHOOL IS EAST OF YOUR LOCATION. GO THERE AND LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR GIFT.

I shut my mouth and turned to my right and started following the road.

OTHER WAY.

I turned around and started walking, again. It took an hour to finally spot a building. As I got closer I saw a sign. Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. I had arrived, finally.

I walked through the old, metal gate and right up to the front door. I stopped, breathed deeply, and knocked. After a minute, or two, the door opened and a tall, feral, rugged man opened the door.

"Sorry, but we don't buy popcorn or whatever boy scouts sell these days." The man growled.

"I am here for Professor Xavier. He told me to come here. I have some kind of power. Is the Professor here?" I said slowly and scared.

"Professor Xavier is dead. He can't tell anyone to come here anymore. Sorry. If you can prove you are a mutant then you can stay." He said sadly.

Pain filled his eyes. I grew mad at his idiocy. Professor Xavier HAD sent me.

"He is here. I know it. He spoke to me. He wants me here for some reason. Why lie to a child?" I muttered.

He grew angry with me instantly.

"Xavier IS dead! He isn't coming back! Now either reveal your powers or leave!" The man growled as shining metal claws tore out of his knuckles.

I grew so angry that I fainted, again. All I heard was growling, screams, running, and more people.

I didn't know how long I was out. When I came to I was inside a clear plastic room inside of another much bigger room. Adults and children surrounded the room on all sides.

When I tried to move I found that I was chained to the floor and incapable of moving.

"Who are you?" A tall, black woman snapped at me.

"Nightingale. Robert Nightingale," I spat angrily, "Who are you and why am I chained up?"

"I am Storm, the headmistress of this school. You, on the other hand, are chained because you attacked Logan, Wolverine, and put him in critical state. He will live though. He heals rather quickly. What is your power, boy!" Strom spat back.

I must have pissed her off, because she had pissed me off.

My vision turned red. My body lunged itself, without my control, and shot towards Storm. The chains and plastic room exploded as my body moved towards Storm. I had no control once so ever.

Out of nowhere a pitch black war hammer appeared in my hands. I could not stop myself. Stormed stepped in my path and my body swung the war hammer at her. When the hammer came in contact with her head her entire skull caved in. As I moved forwards everyone moved out of my way. I left the war hammer in Storm's skull, which started to vanish as I released it, as I ran for the door.

I door swung open in front of me then closed behind me. Once the doors closed I collapsed and blacked out.

When I woke up I was surrounded by everyone that was in the room behind me. What surprised me was that Storm was alive and perfectly fine and standing before me. Slowly, the crowd parted and Nicole walked forward. She placed her hand on my cheek and I blacked out, again.
