Chapter 1 - Visions
"Miss Maximoff?" My head jolted up as I heard the Professor call my name. I blushed madly when he gave me that stern look of his. Great, thanks Pietro for playing your music all night and not allowing me to get any sleep! Thank you!
"Forgive me, Professor." Professor Xavier nodded before resuming his lesson.
My name is Wanda Maximoff. I'm literally the only 13 year old in this senior classroom. Why am I in a senior class you ask?
Well, I have this...ability that goes beyond my basic skills and Professor Xavier believed that I needed to be in a more advanced class in order to control it. So far so good on that, but my powers tend to get out of hand at times.
Anyway, I was sitting in class and like I said: my brother, Pietro, and his best friends, Scott Summers and Kurt Wagner, decided; 'What the hell? Why not just play Evanescence all fricking night?!' Now, don't get me wrong. I love Evanescence. They are my ride or die when it comes to music. But I mean, really?
Not only did I have this class to go to every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but I had a quiz coming up in this class and I had to prepare. But some people didn't seem to care! Yes, I'm talking about you, Pietro!
"That is all for today, class. Ms. Maximoff, a word." Professor Xavier called as the class began to leave out. I gathered my notebooks and backpack before approaching him slowly.
"You wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes. I've noticed you were sleeping in class today. May I ask why?" He asked as he wheeled towards me. I looked down at my feet before looking away.
"Wanda? Did something happen?" He asked. I didn't realize he was right in front of me until he placed a hand on my forearm. "Wanda?"
"Professor, I can't even use my brother as an excuse for my sleeping trouble. Even though this time it was his fault. I've been having nightmares. They just can't seem to leave my head when I fall asleep. I don't know if it's just nightmares or if it's visions of something that will happen." I explained as Professor Xavier stroked his chin.
"Have a seat, Wanda." I took the seat nearby where I was standing and the Professor took my hand.
"I want you to take a deep breath and close your eyes. Allow me to enter your mind." I nodded before I closed my eyes. I felt two fingers at my temple and immediately my mind went to the nightmares.
Everyone around me was disappearing. My friends, my brother, my sister. Even Logan, Rogue, and Kitty. Everyone was just turning to dust. My tears began to well up in my eyes as I stared down at my hand. It was turning to dust, too! I screamed in panic as I watched, it spread from my fingertips to my forearm and towards my face.
"Take my hand, Wanda! Quickly!" I heard as I turned and saw Professor Xavier with his hand stretched out. Without a second thought, I took it. But not before hearing a familiar voice:
"I'll be waiting."
I've heard that voice before. It sounded just like...my father.
My eyes opened instantly and I fell onto my knees on the floor; I sobbed quietly as I thought about everyone's faces when they were disappearing. I thought about how I was disappearing! It was too scary.
I felt a hand on my back and immediately knew it was the Professor.
"Wanda..those weren't nightmares." He said in exhaustion as my eyes went wide and I looked back at him. "W-What do you mea-an?! It could really happen?! EVERYONE COULD DIE?!"
"Wanda, please. You must remain cal-"
"REMAIN CALM?! REMAIN CALM?!?! I CAN'T REMAIN CALM WHEN I FIND OUT THAT MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, COULD POSSIBLY DIE! AND YOU WANT ME TO C-CALM.." I couldn't finish because of how angry I was. I was so angry I sobbed loudly into my hands as I thought about it.
Professor Xavier was right. With the way I am, I can't go on like this. I need to calm myself down and figure how to end this or prepare, if there's anything to prepare for.
