Chapter Five.
Soon it was night and both Scott and Jean walked to Jean's room. On the way there, Jean heard the lady's voice again. "Jean Grey, come to White Cliff. Your professor and friends cannot protect you, Come to me, before it's too late!" She heard. "Jean, are you okay, you look a bit out of it!" He said, holding hand with her. "Yes, I'm fine!" She told him. "Are you sure?" He asked, just when she kissed him. "I'm sure!" She said, smiling.
Outside the Mansion, Adwin walks down the road and stops when he sees the mansion. He then pets one of his Darklings and grins.
Back in the mansion. Jean was ready for bed and Scott was going to stay with her. Jean yawned as she laid down and went to sleep. "Sweet dreams Jean!" Scott said, covering her up and sitting beside her, when the lights started to flicker. This time it was Scott who heard Patrick's cries. "He's here, he's here!" He heard, just when the lights went out completely.
Out in the hall Charles sensed someone in the mansion, when the lights flickered then went out. Which he reacted to, as did the kids. "What's going on?" they all asked, standing outside their bedrooms. "Back to your rooms and stay in there no matter what happens. Go on now!" He said, as they all entered their rooms and closed and locked the doors behind them. That's when Charles sensed the intruder in his room, he carefully entered his room noticing how dark it was in there. Suddenly Charles was grab out of his wheelchair and pinned to a wall. "Good evening, Charles Xavier. I have come for the red head and the boy she carries!" Adwin said, holding him to the wall. Charles quickly put his hand onto Adwin head and reads his mind, before Adwin dropped him to the floor. "Adwin, Adwin. I know, I know why you're here Adwin. I know what you've been doing and I know why you want Patrick dead. But it won't work, he will be born and he will destroy you!" Charles said. "No, he won't. This child will not destroy me!" Adwin said, as his creatures came in. Stay with him my pets, he tries anything, eat him!" he told them, heading out the door.
Logan walks down hall with Storm, Kurt and Peter, when suddenly Logan smelled an intruder. "Someone's here!" he said, rushing down the hall only to be surrounded by Darklings. Logan brought out his claws. "Split up, take them out!" Storm said, as the four of them split up. Logan struck the beast, but no damage was done. He struck it again with the same results. "What the hell are you?" Logan asked, getting attacked. Storm used her wind powers to pick up several of them, then dropped them with no effect, Peter raced around one of them punching it multiple times. When he was done running, he saw to his surprise the beast still standing. The Darkling shook off the punches and quickly attacked. Kurt quickly reached Peter and teleported him to safety. "Thanks Kurt!" He said, as more of them came in and surrounded them again.
Adwin and some of his Darklings made their way down the hallway towards Jean's room. When suddenly a bright beam streaked by them, taking out his Darklings. Adwin quickly moved from sight. Scott carefully searched for him ahead. When more Darklings charged at him. Scott took quick care of them and continued to search for Adwin, unaware that he was behind him. Scott quickly turned around, only to be knocked out. "Stupid boy!" he said, moving on.
In Charles's room. Charles laid very still when he heard a little girl's voice. "Close your eyes tightly!" He heard in his mind and did as asked. Just when several metal balls were thrown in through the window and a bright light burst out of them. Charles covered his ears as the Darklings screeched loudly then it became silent. Logan and three others huddled together as the Darklings drew closer. "Isn't there anything that hurt these dam things?" Logan shouted. When suddenly they too heard a child's voice in their minds and quickly did as asked, as more metal balls came through the windows and burst into light. Killing every Darkling.
Adwin had reached Jean's door and was about to enter when more of the metal balls were thrown into the mansion and burst into a bright light. Adwin cried out and retreated while all his Darklings in the mansion died.
Charles's eyes were still closed afraid of opening them. "Charles, Charles, open your eyes, Charles!" He heard. Charles opened his eyes and there sitting beside him was Lilandra. "Hello Charles!" She said, smiling at him. "Lilandra!" He cried, just as she kissed him.
Scott woke up with his head pounding. "Scott!" Storm cried, rushing to his side. "Are you okay?" Storm asked. "Yeah, I'm fine!" He said, getting up and rushed to Jean's room and found her gone. "Jean, Jean!" He cried, looking for her. Logan and Kurt entered. "She's gone!" Scott said.
