Jonas slammed his fist into the door again... "TEB? Are you ok?" he shouted.
He had heard every word, but it was as if she was talking to someone... but there was no one in there with her. He snapped, it could be Anon!
Girls bathroom or not, he was not about to let Anon kill anyone else.
He grabbed the door and pulled it off by the doorframe... he saw Teb, she was on the floor bleeding heavily from her hand, and she had the most terrified expression on her face.
"TEB!!!" he grabbed one of the towels off the wall and started to wrap her hand up in it. He saw that she had cut herself bad, and was bleeding way too fast.
He quickly put pressure on the wound and picked her up. She struggled at first, babbling something about it being her fault... but he didn't care. She had to get to the medlab before she bled to death.
/SAMMI! MEDLAB! Teb is cut bad./ he screamed/thought to Sammi.
Jonas ran to the Medlab.
"Everyone will die, and it's my fault." Teb said as she struggled with Jonas’s iron grip.
"Teb... you listen to me and you listen good, none of us is going to die, and nothing is your fault."
======
Teb had the look of complete shock as she sat on the medlab bed. Jonas shuddered, they seemed to end up here all the time.
"Hank, I have only gotten the two large pieces out... but there have to be more." Reyes said and looked over Teb's hand and wrist.
"Damn mirror Glass, I can't find anything." She said and dried some of the sweat off her face.
Angelo was holding Teb’s other, hand whispering that it would be ok into her ear.
Jonas moved closer. "Hank, Reyes? May I try something?" he said. "I’m not sure if this will work, but I can see that it might."
"Well..." Reyes said and looked at Hank. "The longer they stay in there the more those small shards can damage... ok, go ahead. But be careful."
Jonas walked up and but his hand over the wounds, tapping into his powers. Glass was in a way melted sand, a part of earth, therefore partially under his control.
Teb jerked, and tried to move her hand away, her arm felt like it was burning. "Sorry Teb, but we need to get them out, before any of the small pieces get into your bloodstream.”
Teb clenched her teeth as Jonas Magically Grabbed all the small pieces of glass, knowing that what he was going to do was about to be painful, he held her arm with his other hand.
"Sorry Teb..." Jonas yanked out the small pieces of glass from her hand... even if Teb had been given an antiseptic this was probably extremely painful, but Teb bit down and said nothing.
Reyes looked shocked as Jonas let the glass fall on to the container with the others that she and Hank had pulled out before. Jonas looked sad, nothing hurt him more then stuff like this.

~In Amanda and Maria's room~
Amanda sat in the middle of the room, quietly meditating. She wanted to focus her thoughts so she would be prepared for the battle ahead. She needed to be sharp and prepared for anything. She was worried about Teb, but she knew that Jonas and Hank would take care of her.
Jonas and Jamar had set aside their differences for now, which was good. Right now she needed a team that could work together. They were probably arguing over which one was Scott. Amanda could feel the tension of the X-men. They didn't want Vision X going out on this mission alone.
Ryan and Maria had talked Sabertooth into taking them to get ice cream. Amanda figured Maria had thought that it would prevent trouble. Cable went with them and she only hoped that Victor and Cable hadn't killed each other.
(Your thoughts are troubled, fair lady. ) Stated Azmaru.
(I know. The meditation isn't helping.) Amanda answered.
(Perhaps if you had more faith in the team's and your abilities, you may relax.) advised Thanagar
(Your accent's fading a little.) Amanda stated.
(Our connection is growing stronger and we are drawing on each other skills and traits.) Explained Azmaru
(Do you love this Xavier?) asked Thanagar.
(I think you know the answer, and I didn't like the threat. I can understand the protectiveness, but please avoid threatening my boyfriend.)
(I think the lady is getting more boldness in her. Me thinks this battle has put a fighting spirit in the lass) commented Azmaru as he took on Thanagar expression at Amanda blatant warning.
(Yes, me thinks the lass is learning to stand up for herself.) Thanagar muttered.
Amanda smiled as she replied, (Thank you for all you've done for me. I only hope I will make you proud. I hope my warrior spirit is equal to both of yours.)
(It will be lass.) replied Thanagar.
(I could use your guidance and wisdom in determining a strategy for facing Anon. I have a feeling me and the witch will have another battle and I am determined to win.) Amanda declared.
Thanagar was pleased by her boldness and determination. To him, they were sides of a great leader and warrior.
(Aye lass, we will do just that.) Thanagar replied as he, Azmaru, and Amanda planned their next move.
A.C.
Sammi ran to the medlab and found Teb, Jonas and Angelo. After she caught some of Teb's thoughts, she knew who was behind them and she was talking to Jonas about them in the kitchen.
"Anon, did it. Teb was just a pawn in their sick, twisted plan." She explained.
"But why?" Jonas asked taking her hand. He knew that even mentioning her name reminded Sammi of what she did to him.
"That's the easy answer. They’re both afraid of us. That's why they keep attacking us, in our dreams. It’s when we are the most vulnerable. The hard question is, How do we stop it? No one has any answers." She said shaking her head.
She squeezed his hand and said,"Thanks."
She got up and gave him a kiss and said, "I'm going to take a shower and try to get some sleep. Don't fight with Jamar too long... you both need to be rested for the real fight."
Sammi turned and walked upstairs. She opened the door to her room and quickly walked in. She shut the door and fell against it and slid to the floor crying. When she finally stopped crying she said,"Anon, you B***h, I'm going to make you pay for hurting my friends."
She slammed her fist into the door and got up and headed for the bathroom. She didn't turn around; if she had, she would have seen the hole that she’d punched in the door.

~Medlab~
Teb sat in the med lab with a bandaged up hand. It would heal in a few hours because her skin power’s healing of cuts was a lot quicker then normal.
People were trying to talk with her, but she didn’t pay them any attention. Every time she looked at their faces, all she saw was them bleeding or dying, or crying out for help.
Jonas had gotten her from the bathroom and brought her to the medlab, and got the glass from her hand. She wanted to be nice to him, to thank him, but she knew better. Even back in the real world, everyone she got close to was either dead, injured, or in jail.
"And it’s all my fault." she mumbled to herself.
Angelo was sitting next to her. He held her hand, but she didn’t try and hold it back. She just sat there and stared out into space.
Once Teb finally started to doze, Angelo put his head in his hands and prayed that Teb would be fine... that Vision X would be fine... that he would be fine.
Ange couldn’t believe that only a few hours ago they were madly in love, and now she was doing anything in her power to keep him away from her.
*****
Anon laughed. This triumph was making her feel better. Not only was she hurting Teb, she was hurting her teammates and lover too.

~Sammi~
She was in a car. There were two people in the front and she was in the back. As soon as she saw the upholstery, she knew where she was. She was in her parents car, and they were in the front seats. She looked down and saw the box with the brand new Cabbage Patch Kid in it, and immediately she knew when she was also. It was the night of her parents death. She was living it all over again.
As she was crouched behind her father's seat, she saw her mother's head turn. But this time instead of holding out her hand, she said, "It all your fault. If you didn't get all A's, We wouldn't have been coming home from buying you that. It’s your fault, Samantha. It’s all your fault. You're the one that killed us. You ungrateful little witch."
Sammi stared horrified at her mother's face. There was no caring, there was only hate. Hate for her. She ducked her head into her hands and kept saying,"I'm sorry."
Sammi picked her head up and saw that she was no longer in the car. She was now in her room at Michelle and Ryan's. She was sitting on her bed holding her knees to her chest. Sammi looked at the door as she saw it open. Standing in the doorway was a thirteen year old Jamar. His face had an expression of pure hate, just like when Kyle tried to kill her the first time.
"It's all your fault, Sammi. It’s all your fault. If we didn't get close, they wouldn't have sent me away. Everyone you get close to has to go away. You don't deserve happiness. You never have and you never will. That's why you must die." He said the last part as he charged her.
She looked at the hand he now extended over his head, and there was a huge knife in it. She dropped her head again and just cried, she couldn't say anything.
Sammi opened her eyes again to see that she was now outside. She heard crying and looked down and saw Rogue holding a body, rocking and crying. She looked at the body and it wasn't just a body. It was Jonas, and he was dead.
"Jonas?" She said in a small voice. Rogue's head snapped up and her eyes held nothing but hate as she looked at Sammi.
"Don't ya even say his name. He died because of you. Your father killed him because he was foolish enough to love you. A worthless, piece of trash, that hurts anyone who you come in contact with. Look, you killed your own father!" Rogue screamed at her.
She pointed over towards another body that was lying on the ground, with another person leaning over it. As if on cue, the person leaning over the body stood up and faced her. It was Sabertooth. He had blood running down his chin and was smiling his feral, toothy grin. She looked down at the body and saw that it was her father. Her real father, Logan. He was bleeding heavily from his neck, and his eyes were looking at her.
"Thanks, frail. I've been trying to get the runt, and you led me right to him. It was so easy. I would suggest that we team up, but you kill everyone you come in contact with." Sabertooth said.
But Sammi’s eyes were glued to the body of her father. She started shaking her head and backing away.
"Get away from him, trash!" Rogue yelled.
Sammi turned her head and saw Jonas's body, and looked back at Logan's and started crying. She turned and ran into the woods. As she ran, she heard their voices yelling at her. When she reached the cliff, she turned to see that her parents's bloody bodies, along with Jonas's and Logan's were standing there. Jamar walked around them to stand in front of them.
"You need to die before you hurt anyone else." He charged her and she stumbled over the cliff.
As she fell she screamed. "NO!!!!!! JONAS!!!!!!!!"
jubilee_79
Sammi continued to fall til she landed on something hard with a sickeningly thud. She slowly got up to find herself in a lab type warehouse. She looked around and saw Vision X and the X-Men all standing around her. She couldn't move or talk.
"Now... do you want to see the future?" A voice said from the shadows. A figure emerged. It was wearing a long cloak and had a mask covering its face.
Sammi wanted to scream, but she couldn't. The figure walked closer to her.
"Look at them. All of them hate you. They don't think you deserve to live. Don't you want to hurt them as much as they hurt you?"
A tear slid down Sammi's face, as her arms started to rise. She couldn't stop them. She stared in horror as she saw the blast leave her fingers. She saw everyone's bodies start to burn, and they were screaming. She couldn't move. She tried to close her eyes but the figure said, "I wouldn't. You'll miss all of the fun."
When the final team member fell, burnt to a crisp, she could finally move. Sammi turned to the figure and the figure said,"That was good wasn't it?"
Sammi just stared. Finally she said,"It all my fault. I killed them."
The figure smiled. But the smile was short lived as she saw Sammi unleash one of her claws on each hand, and quickly run it across her wrists... but nothing happened. Sammi's claws turned into rubber. The figure took another step towards her.
"Now, we can't have you do that. Father has great plans for you, Sister."
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Sammi yelled as she fell to her knees crying.
************************************
~In Sinister's Lab~
Anon smiled. That was the best one yet. She finally broke Sammi, and now Father's plans would be complete. With Sammi, The death of the X-Men would be at hand. Sammi's hand, that is. She grinned evilly.

After a lengthy lecture from Storm, Jamar walks down the stairs feeling better about coming clean.
/They weren't too mad about the whole mind trick thing, but waking them up again really pissed 'em off./ he thought.
"Now comes the hard part." Jamar says as he walks down the hallway.
Jamar had been standing in front of the door to Cara's room for the past few minutes and still hadn't figured out what to say. The nervous energy and self-loathing was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Inside the room Cara sat on the bed going through the same feelings, until the emotional hailstorm slips through a crack in her senses, and she looks up beginning to catch the thoughts coming from the other side of the door.
/...she's probably pissed at me. She might not even be here. Just knock on the door idiot./
He raises his hand to knock, but the door eases open. He slowly lowers his hand as he looks into Cara's eyes.
/Man she's beautiful./
The dam bursts as his thoughts and feelings come rushing into Cara. No words are exchanged as she reaches up and takes his hand in hers and gives it a squeeze. He kisses her hand and gives her a hug. The feelings she picks up speak volumes as he walks away but not before leaving a mental impression.
/We'll talk later Jamar. Please be careful, and don't hurt Jonas/ Cara says.
-------------------------------------------------
/Well it's time to settle the score./ Jamar thinks to himself.
**Hey Dragonboy... you ready to play or what!?** Jamar telepathically shouts at Jonas.
/Anytime you're ready Yoda./
**I'll see you in the Danger Room in an hour.**
-------------------------------------------------
~DANGER ROOM~
Jonas stands in the center of the empty Danger Room in his semi-dragon form. /Where is he?/
“If he's not here in another ten minutes I guess we can call it forfeit...” he says to Cyke and Wolverine. Amanda had insisted on those two being there to make sure no one got hurt or killed.
The door opens and Jamar walks in, clad in a black spandex battle suit and hooded robe. Jonas cannot pass up the opportunity to cut down his opponent.
"Nice outfit Jedi wannabe... but where's your lightsaber?" As the words leave Jonas mouth he is sorry he said them as a bladed staff made of fire appears from Jamar’s hands, and he takes up a stance that is slightly familiar somehow... then it occurs to him.
"Wolverine... by any chance did Jamar...uh mind meld or something with you?" Wolverine only smiles as Jamar bows to his opponent.
"Don't worry so much Dragonboy, since I was late you can choose the location of our...uh..grudge match."
Chaos
~Cara’s Room~
After Jamar left, Cara closed the door. She smiled...she was glad that he didn't blow her off... she really did like him. Cara was a little tense, so she walked to the middle of the room, and sat down. She began using the meditating techniques that Wolverine had taught her after Arac had...well, she didn't want to think of that.
Cara closed her eyes, forced all thoughts out of her mind, and concentrated until she could hear her own heartbeat.
~thump, thump.~ ~thump, thump.~ Listen to it's rythm. Breathe in, Breathe out. Breath in, Breathe out. Nice and slow. Concentrate, focus all thoughts on the heartbeat. Push out all thoughts of grief and pain. Breathe.
A silvery laugh chimes in Cara's mind, interrupting Cara's meditation.
/What are you up to, Anon?/ Cara calmly thinks towards the witch, without opening her eyes.
~If you weren't connected to my sister, you would know that first hand little one.~ the silver voice speaks into Cara's mind.
/What do you mean, Anon?/ Cara asks, a sudden chill coming over her. She could almost feel Anon's evil smile as she replied.
~My sister has taken you under her wing...because of that, I cannot influence you using YOUR nightmares. However, I can hurt you by showing you the nightmares of the others. And I take a great deal of satisfaction in knowing you will not be able to help them, either in their nightmares, or in real life. You are weakened from our last battle. Therefore, there is nothing you can do to break my hold on your friends.~
Cara's eyes opened in shock...she had dimmed her empathic powers, and had neglected to turn them back on fully after she and Jamar made up. She reached out now towards her friends.
She gasped as the full force of her friends misery crashed into her...wave after wave of pure despair hit her, drowned her, left her writhing on the floor in pure agony.
/Anon, what have you done?/ she cried out...it hurt too much to breathe.
The evil silvery laugh once again chimed in Cara's mind.
~You really want to know? Open your mind to me Cara, and I will show you.~ Anon said.
Cara opened her mind...willingly. She decided that to truely help her friends, she would have to know their pain first hand...then, if they all survived this ordeal, she would use her knowledge to help heal her friends. She hoped they would survive.
/Please hang on my friends...do not let Anon win. Together, we can make it through anything. Please, hang on./ she thought.
Cara rolled up into a little ball on the floor...her eyes were wide open, but she didn't see anything that was in front of her. Her entire mind was focused on the visions in her mind, watching as her friends went through the hardest moments of their life, only increased and worsened by Anon; a careful mixture of truth and fiction, real life events and illusion. The worst kind of lie. Tears ran down Cara's pale face, as the pain overwhelmed her.
/Surely this will be the end of Cara...she's been a thorn in my side since day one...she's the only one who has ever seen me, the only one who knows what I used to be and what I have now become./ Anon thought to herself.

~Danger Room~
Jonas smiled, Jamar sure was sure of himself... and he could even feel how powerful he had become.
"A big forest, A lake connected by rivers... that won’t be a problem Cyke?" Jonas asked.
Scott nodded and the room changed into the setting. By the time it was complete, Jonas’s face turned utterly serious... all of his human facial features was gone.
Jonas bowed down exposing his neck, the traditional Bow of Dragons. Cyke and Wolverine rested against a tree.
"Ya brought popcorn." Logan asked and could only smile as Cyke held up a bag to him.
"Let's see Logan, how your son-in-law can handle himself." Cyke ginned, knowing that Logan didn't like that fact.
Jonas slowly raised his head... his face frowned and his eyes opened and a split second later Jonas roared at the top of his lungs, forcing all the air out of his chest with a force that would have single handedly knocked over a small car. Jamar only blinked... his robe was gone.
The Dragon grinned, and they started to circle each other... Jamar tried to grab Jonas mind but it was shut tight, and nothing was getting in there.
This was going to be about physical powers, Jamar smiled... he was going to knock that grin of his face.
But who was going to make the first move...
Jamar was growing inpatient. They had circle each other for a time now, and Jamar decided that it was time to make a move.
Jamar raised his hand and unleashed a Telekinetic attack, throwing Jonas in behind some trees. Jamar smiled... it was not a powerful attack, but it was the first move.
But Jonas didn't come back, and Jamar was left standing in the clearing... it was not tactically a correct place, and he knew it, but to rush into the woods was not that good an idea either...
Suddenly, something tugged at his leg. Jamar looked down, surprised at an earth statue of Yoda, smiling up at him... Jamar frowned as he heard a roar.
/That was stupid Jamar, just got distracted.../ he thought to himself.
The next second, Jonas and Jamar were caught up in a fight. Jamar hitting/slashing with his *lightsaber*, Jonas blocking with his arms and hands, his expression blank.
Jonas was seemingly on the defensive as Jamar pushed his attack and threw a hand full of ice shard's. Using his TK, he make a jump over Jonas, ready to slash him over the back.
"Don't get too fancy, Jamar." Jonas grabbed him by the ankle and threw him deep into the Forest...
Being quick on his feet, Jonas was over him with a roar and pinned down his arms.
Jamar smiled up at him. "You’re fast..." he said, and then unleashed his TK to push Jonas up in the air.
He landed a bit away from Jamar. They were not pushing very hard, both afraid to hurt.
The fight went on... Jamar pushing his Tk to the limit, using his fire staff and ice to try and disorient Jonas, to keep him of balance... Jonas using his strength and invulnerability.
Logan and Scott watched the fight, wondering when someone would start to REALLY fight.
After an another minute of fighting, Jamar started to get tired of this dance and decided to try and end the fight...
Pushing his TK to the limit, he grabbed Jonas and slammed him into the ground, hard.
Jamar TK-lifted himself off of the ground, smiling.
"Do you surrender?" he asked, looking at the 12 foot monster that he had pinned to the ground.
Jonas first relaxed and then tightened his body, fighting against Jamar’s TK.
Surprised at the strain that was brought back into him from Jonas, Jamar got back to the ground to hold Jonas more powerfully, but Jonas gave no time for him to rest.
Jonas pushed a little more, and Jamar staggered slightly under the stress and clenched his teeth. He tried to get a new TK grip, but every time he tried, Jonas pushed a little more.
Jamar walked over and placed his sword on Jonas neck. "Give up, you have lost. You can't break my grip before I run this through your neck." Jamar said through clenched teeth.
Jonas turned his Dragon face into a smile, and the flame on the staff died. At this moment of surprise Jonas ripped through the TK, and Jamar felt the stress of the TK breaking as he lost his concentration.
He fell... Jonas grabbed him by the neck and he looked at him. Jonas had changed back into his human form.
"You are truly powerful, but you are too damn sure of yourself, I could...." Jonas stopped.
/NO!!!!!!Jonas!!!!!!!!/ Sammi's voice Screamed in his mind and he froze.
Jamar took the opportunity to break free from the grasp, and used all his power to strike at Jonas...
"Not so tuff now are..." Jamar yelled angrily. But again Jonas grabbed him, this time by his uniform.
"Learn something human! Know you’re prey before you attack in that way." Jonas threw Jamar in Logan's and Scott's direction.
/NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"/ He can hear Sammi scream in his mind as Logan helped Jamar to his feet.
Jonas ran for the door and through it, not bothering to open it.

~Mansion Roof~
Ryan sat on the roof of the mansion. She didn’t want to try to sleep anymore; the dreams were really starting to get to her. At this moment she just wanted to be alone. She wouldn’t get that pleasure though.
“Is this seat taken?” Maria’s small voice came out of nowhere. Ryan thought of how much of a blessing being invisible would be. If you didn’t want to be found, you weren’t.
“No, you’re free to join... but I don’t think I would be very good company.” Ryan said trying to throw a smile towards Maria.
“You don’t look so good. Are you ok?” Maria asked. She could tell that something was bothering Ryan, but didn’t want to pry into her problems. She began to wonder if Sabretooth had hurt her in any way.
“I’m just tired. I haven’t been able to sleep; I have been having some nightmares lately.“ Ryan answered.
“I hope they aren’t like the one Teb had.” Maria stated.
“What happened?” Ryan asked.
“I’m not sure, but she punched a mirror in the bathroom because of it.” Maria replied.
Ryan’s face fell as she thought about another one of her friends getting hurt. “Maria, I don’t think it is safe for you to be around me.”
Le Fae
Teb had another dream.
She was sitting at her dining room table. Her mother was running around the kitchen baking presents for her brothers girlfriends Christmas gifts. Teb sat and waited for her mother to fill the tins, so she could have some of the leftover ones. She watched her mother put every last cookie in the tins, and send her brothers on their way to their girlfriends houses for Christmas dinner. She watched her mom clean up and go to bed. She looked over at her dad.
"We’re not having dinner?" she asked.
He looked over at her with chicken grease on his face from the chicken he was eating. "Your brothers weren’t going to be here, so why bother?" he asked, and returned to watching tv.
Teb's dream turned into another occasion. She was sitting in a jail cell waiting for her parents to pick her up. She had been busted for destruction of private property. she waited for hours and hours for them to come. Finally, one of her friends mothers brought her home when she went to pick up her son. Teb walked up to the house and walked in. Her parents were sitting down for a nice family dinner with her brothers.
"Sorry Teb... I didn’t know you were coming. I’m afraid there’s not enough for you." her mother said, as her brothers finished their college stories they were telling.
Teb walked up to her room and saw Angelo sitting on her bed.
"Ange!" she said, and ran to him to give him a hug.
He hugged her back and kissed the top of her head.
"Teb..."
Teb pulled back and looked at his now corpse like face, "It’s all your fault..."
*****
Teb woke up with a start and looked at Ange next to her, asleep in his chair. She got up and walked outside. She grabbed a paint can that was still on the ground next to the wall and scribbled it all over her piece from the day before.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Storm asked, and glared at her and the paint can in her hand.
"What are you, my mother?" Teb asked, and got in Storm’s face.
"Excuse me child? Clean up this mess."
"Clean it up yourself." Teb threw down her can and walked away.
"Get back here this instant!" Storm yelled after Teb, but Teb ignored her.
Teb walked into the kitchen and grabbed a 6 pack from the fridge, and went to her room to wallow in her own self pity.

~Ryan and Sabertooth's room~
Sabertooth shifted in bed...his breathing had become stilted, erratic. The others had told him about the nightmares coming from Anon, but he'd gone to sleep anyway. There wasn't anything that he was afraid of that could be used against him...or so he thought.
*****
He was walking down the hallway of the mansion, looking for Ryan. He heard her laughing, she sounded so happy and he wanted to be there with her. He followed her scent to a closed door...that's when he noticed, the scent of a man was with hers. Sabertooth growled and burst in the door.
He had tried to prepare himself for this eventuality...but nothing he had done prepared him for what he saw. Sabertooth's eyes grew wide and his face pale with shock as he took in the scene before him...
"NO, RYAN!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!" he roared.
Ryan sat up in bed, and said, "Because I love him. Honestly, did you actually think that I could love a filthy, disgusting thing like you? Hey, at least HE'S cute!"
Wolverine also sat up in bed, leaned over and nibbled Ryan on the neck. "Yah, Sabey, did you really think that she could love a filthy thing like you?" he said as he put one arm possessively around Ryan.
Sabertooth's face turned red and his eyes narrowed into slits. He had given Ryan everything he had, and she threw it back in his face like this...she was going to pay...she was really going to pay.
Sabertooth roared, and grabbed for Ryan. Wolverine jumped out of bed, popped his claws and advanced on Sabertooth. Sabertooth tore his claws into Wolverine, and sliced him open from throat to belly. He didn't even break a sweat when he threw Wolverine's dead body through the closed door.
He turned back to Ryan, who lay pale and shaking, with the covers pulled up around her neck. Sabertooth snarled and advanced on her. He grabbed her by the throat and yanked her out of bed, holding her up off of the ground.
"I trusted you." he said to the pale, painfilled face. Sabertooth's heart was breaking...he had loved her with all that he had, and she had treated him like this.
"Sabey, I'm sorry, I won't do it again...I..." her pleas were cut off as Sabertooth broke her neck...he held her close as the life drained out of her body.
For the first time in a long time, Sabertooth felt like crying. He sat on the bed, still holding the lifeless Ryan...his body wracked with sobs.
"HEY!!!" came an angry shout from the hallway.
Sabertooth looked up...to see an angry Cara standing in the doorway.
"What do you want, frail..." he snarled at the girl.
"You just killed my friend and the Father of my other friend, and you have the gall to ask me what I WANT?! I want to kill you...you b******!!! AND DON'T CALL ME FRAIL!!!" Cara shouted, as she let loose her pink fire blast, straight at Sabertooth.
Sabertooth didn't even try to get out of the way...he knew this day would come. His eyes were calm as he blew up into a million pieces.
*****
Sabertooth woke up to find that Ryan was not in bed.
/NO! She wouldn't, would she?/ he thought, with fear.

"Sammi?" Jonas screamed as he entered their room.
"Don't come close... I don't wanna hurt you... please go away." Sammi said.
"Take your own advice... I’m not about to leave, and I don't think there is any way you could make me." Jonas said daring and walked over to Sammi. It was dark in the room, Sammi was huddled away in the corner.
"Sammi... Talk to me, don't leave me in the dark like this, I can feel that something is wrong." Jonas moved down to kneel in front of her.
Sammi said nothing.
"PLEASE!!! Don’t block me out..." Jonas moved his hand over to her shoulder. Sammi noticed and jumped to the side.
"No get away!" Sammi curled up to the wall, she didn't want to hurt him but she could feel it building inside of her, not exactly what but something was wrong.
"Sammi... what happened, tell me." Jonas tried and moved closer.
"Why don't you listen to me, you will die if you stay around me." Sammi said in a small voice so different from the woman he loved, almost as if she was a small child.
Jonas started to get angry, someone was doing this to her... had she not suffered enough already...
"Is this Anon? Is she messing with you to?" Jonas Grabbed Sammi before she could pull away again. Sammi screamed and started to fight him, trying to get out from his grip. What was wrong with her?
He maneuvered around and embraced her in a strong hug until she stopped fighting him... "Please Sammi, don't do this to me... we are both in this together, I can't... I can't do this without you."
Sammi bowed her head down and sobbed slightly. "I killed you all, it's my fault... you will all die and it's my fault."
"Listen to me... am I dead?" Jonas kissed her on the back of her head. "I'm not going to die... not again... I promise."
"Sammi, We have to keep this team together... if we lose the bond we all share, Sinister will walk all over us." Jonas squeezed her tight.
"Teb is real messed up, Cara is walking the line, and Ryan don't seem to be so far from it either. We are all a pawn in his sick game... and we have to change the rules right now. If we play by his... we will lose."
Sammi looked up at him.
"I love you Sammi, with all my heart... help me change the rules." Jonas said.
