Ororo enjoyed the wind caressing her beautiful snow-white hair. Zuberi barked at every car they passed. Ororo couldn't remember the last time she felt this good. She felt so free, liberated, and independent. She didn't have any true idea where they were going, but she was under the influence of her heart. Ororo pulled over at a rest stop to count her money. Without warning Zuberi jumped out of the car running towards the woods.
"Zuberi!" Ororo called. She quickly got out of her car, and ran after the running wolf.
"Zuberi, I will leave you here if…" Ororo stopped dead in her tracks. Looking onward towards the trees, she sees what excites Zuberi so, the ghost that's haunted her mind for weeks. His long auburn hair blew with the wind, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
"Remy?" she whispered. She ran towards the figure. As she enclosed her distance, she could smell the residue of the cigarette.
"Remy" She screamed. She saw the figure bend down to the wolf dog and begin petting him. Finally, she reached the figure, excitement etched all over her face.
"Remy" she said again, the figure turned around to face her, his once auburn hair was now black and short, his cigarette, now a cigar, his tan skin, now pale.
"Who?" he asked.
"I'm sorry. I have mistaken you for someone else" she said embarrassed. "Come Zuberi" she said walking away. Zuberi followed obediently, trotting along happily. Ororo's heart fell to her feet. Could she be that love struck and heartbroken that she is now hallucinating?
"Hey" the man called out. Ororo turned around and stopped. The man began walking to her, inhaling deeply on his cigar.
"Your Storm" he stated more than he questioned.
"Who are you?" she asked not confirming.
"That is not your concern. Why are you so far away from home mutant?" the man asked rudely.
"That is non of your concern" Ororo stated harshly.
"I know. You're looking for someone," he said
"Who are you?" Ororo asked once more. Her curiosity was taking over her rationality.
"I can help you find him," he said.
"How?" Ororo asked grabbing his arms.
"He is close. He walks the streets" The man said
"He is alive?" Ororo asked
"Very much so" The man said touching the wolf once again. Ororo watched him. Zuberi began growling intensely at the man's touch.
"Stop!" Ororo ordered, her eyes glowing white.
"He now knows" The man said. When Ororo looked back at her loving sidekick, she saw a scar now appearing on his cheek.
"What have you done?" Ororo asked lowering to comfort her precious friend.
"I have shown him the where about of your friend. He will take you to him" The man said before disappearing into the wind. Ororo looked around for several moments, looking for this mysterious mutant, but he could not be found. She brought her attention back to Zuberi, who was restless. Ororo touched the scar, as she did so images flowed through her mind. Images of Remy, and places he's been. She saw a club in Virginia called, The Cave. Maybe he is still there. Ororo released herself from the addicting pull the scar had on her. She looked at Zuberi, then the scar, and noticed the size shrunk dramatically. She hugged Zuberi and kissed his nose.
"Come, we must go now!'
