Chapter 59 - Deaths Host (1/2)
(Xavier Mansion)
A small trickle of moonlight shone through the window, lighting up the inside of the room. A small bed and desk lay in the room with one occupant. Laying unconscious Laura didn't move a muscle and looked like a statue as she lay there if it wasn't for the small rising of her chest it would look like she were dead.
Suddenly the light in the room seemed to dim as Laura's eyes snapped open. *Snikt* Her body stiffened in shock as her claws popped out. *Jingle* The small sound of her Adamantium cuffs sounded out from the slight movement, but that was it.
The darkness in the room started to gather above her body as her mouth opened in a silent scream. Eyes opening as far as they could, a pain unlike anything she had ever felt rose higher. In the small amount of light left in the room, her Adamantium claws glinted as they turned a shade darker.
From a, cool metallic silver, the metal started to darken as the darkness gathered and infused into it. Soon all that was left were pitch black blades that absorbed all light that came near.
But it didn't end there, the eyes that were staring blankly in pain clouded over becoming pitch black. If anyone was to see this, they would think she was possessed, and they wouldn't be far from the truth. Her black claws started to glow and you could see the black parts of her claws that existed underneath her skin.
*Crack* Body arching in pain the black glow of her blades started to run down her hands and feet, moving up her arms legs. Moving past the shoulders and torso ever bone was died black as her skeleton became visible to the outside eye.
*Crumble* As the process was completing the bed beneath her claws started to crumble, decay, it turned into dust slowly as it disappeared, soon even her Adamantium cuffs also followed suit crumbling into nothing, as if brittle as glass.
Her body stayed like that for another few minutes the same unspoken scream on her lips, before her body finally flopped back down, her whole skeleton now dyed in black. ”Now you are truly an unbreakable weapon, just like the other.” A chilling voice spoke in the quiet room just above a whisper. Once it disappeared the darkness also started to slowly recede and her body stopped glowing, her claws retracting.
4 minutes latter 2 green eyes shot open in surprise as Laura sprang up. Looking to the left and right, before looking down at her un-cuffed hands, an unspoken wariness assaulted her mind as she rolled out of the bed and grabbed her pair of clothes that were off to the side. Quickly slapping them on she made for the window.
*Snikt* 2 pitch black blades burst forth from her right hand as she went to slice the lock. Stopping in surprise for a second, she pushed her confusion to the side as she escaped. Using her training and skill she made a bee line for the surrounding forest.
Her mind was confused and muddled but there were two goals in her head. One, escape. Two, get back to New York. What she couldn't tell in her unkempt state was the other small voice in her head speaking. ”Yes, go back, find him, he'll protect you.”
