A burning Church

Early in the morning Tomuras sleeping body suddenly shot up and released a terrified gasp.

He just woke from a dream.

The dream started simple, he was alone walking through Xavier's school but then it started.

Jeans words rang through his head.

'Magneto would kill you'

And those same words bounced around the empty hallways in the Xavier school.

And as he grew more frustrated by the second he was pushed to his breaking point.

But before he could turn the mansion to dust he was suddenly thrown into a wall that he crashed through and then rolled across Xavier's garden.

He looked up and felt his eyes widen, not in surpirse but fear.

Fear of the being infront of him.

A Phoenix made of fire floated above the mansion, it's was majestic but he could tell one thing.

That thing, whatever it was hated him.

Hate he could never truly comprehend.

He swallowed as its mass grew, it seemed to absorb the sun above it and grew and grew.

He turned and started to run but was without an ounce of resistance nor struggle pulled into the burning flames.

Then he woke.

He threw the blanket that in that moment was too heavy, too soft from his sweating form and stood in the cold night air.

He quickly walked over to his en-suite bathroom that cost far more than he thought it would and threw himself into the large bathtub as he turned the cold tap on letting it soothe his burning skin.

She had woke up in a church, stained glass filled with a familiar figure she couldn't name in that moment.

It was cold.

A large rotting hand caught her attention and she started to approach the hand.

"Phoenix" the voice was deep and rumbled through the building like a natural disaster.

She turned quickly and her eyes widened as she took a step back.

Well, she tried to take a step back.

She looked down and dark tendrils were wrapped around her ankles and her wrists holding her still.

Her breathing picked up drastically as the thing in front of her smiled.

It was human, but it had no eyes, no nose and no hair, terrible burn scars covered what used to be its face.

All that remained was its shining white teeth.

It's hand reached out and pressed against her face, her breathing was harsh and heavy as she felt her very life force being sucked from her body.

She screamed as it felt like her body was changing and she felt cold, so very terrifyingly cold.

Then she woke.

She gasped as she sprung awake, she felt something moving besides her and turned quickly.

Her wide eyes and panting slowed down when she saw the sleeping figure next to her.

She took a deep breathe and stood up, she tried not to disturb Scott and made her way to his en-suite bathroom.

She got into the empty bath and turned on the hot water and tried to burn away the feeling of cold that infected her soul.
