X-Men Story My Version
Chapter Two: Mississippi Coma
In the not too distant future, in the deep south of Mississippi lies a beautiful Meridian house. Music can be heard playing in the house most notable the living room. The woman plays beautifully as her husband busies himself in the kitchen. Their daughter Marie is upstairs in her room with her boyfriend David. They weren't doing anything except talking. It's a quiet afternoon. Nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
In Maria, she and David are on her bed. She is tracing a line on a map of North America. David relaxes on her bed. She is interested in touring the North America after school. Marie, a petite slender looking southern girl with aspirations and ambitions. A smart girl yet a bit naïve, Marie loves history thus the reason she wants to see the North American not mention the world.
"Niagara Falls... up near Alaska... and then it's about 300 miles to Anchorage." Marie explains
"Won't it be kinda cold?" David asked her.
"Of course it will, stupid. That's what makes it an adventure." Marie told him.
"So when are you going to do this?" He asked her.
Marie settles back on the bed.
"I don't know. After high school, before college..." Marie said. She wasn't really sure. All she knew was that she was going to see North America one way or the other.
"You know you're cuter when you do that thing with your nose." David said smiling at her.
"What thing?" She asked confused.
"With your nose. It wiggles when you're thinking." David told her. She smirked. Both laughed.
"I didn't know I did that." She said to him.
"We all have little quirks that we do without realizing it. My mom told me that I eyebrows girate when I'm sleeping." David said. Marie stared at him for a second and starts to laugh. David laughs as well both getting a chuckle out of their quirks. Their faces hover near each other for a moment. Finally, they kiss, gently, sweetly. It's their first kiss. At least, it starts out gentle and sweet. But suddenly David's eyes go wide with shock, and lines of age appear on his face.
Downstairs, the mother's piano playing is interrupted by a sharp scream. She and her husband run upstairs to find David is on the bed, twitching and convulsing. Marie, horrified, stands up against the wall.
"David?!" Marie's father calls out to him. He glances in Marie's direction. She looks absolutely horrified. Her mother looks at her shocked as well.
"I don't know what happened to him... I just touched him... I didn't mean to..." Marie said crying. Her mother walks toward her, offering comforting words... "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Marie screams.
"Call an ambulance." Her father yells to his wife.
"Don't touch me..." Marie continues to say from the corner of her room. Her mother leaves the room to call the ambulance.
