I wake up in a bright, strange-shaped room. I feel dizzy for a second, but then feel fine almost instantly after. Looking around properly, I feel like a spider trapped in a glass as the same material covers the top. I wonder where everyone else is. I hope Erik is OK. But mostly, I hope Kurt is alright. I haven't talked to him recently, like I normally do. I feel suddenly uncomfortable when I stand. And notice I'm dressed in a grey and white prison suit with the number 006 printed on. I breathe deeply in irritation, really, then a voice speaks. "Ah. I see you are all awake now." I look up to follow it, and see a side room that holds the man from my dream-Vincent Shaw, the wolf girl, and...someone I do recognise. The rose lady I thought Erik killed with the cage in the arena. She's alive. Then I hear the Professor shout-"Who's there?!" I reply with my name, annoyed I can't see my friends through these bland white walls. Willow's voice comes afterwards. "Peter! Peter?!"

"I'm here Willow! Are you okay?!"

"Thank you for what you did earlier! Y-You saved my life!" What he did earlier? Was that on the plane? He didn't save her life, so it must have been more recent. Shaw breaks my thoughts. "That's lovely, but it won't matter in a while." He takes a pause. "I wouldn't do that, if I were you, Willow. It's not budging because it's mutant proof." I see him stand out of the corner of my eye. "Your plans to save Erik...failed. I believe you underestimated me." He holds his arms out proudly. "This-is my New Pentagon. Everything you fear are inside your rooms. Which doesn't just frighten you..." The side opposite him lights up. I squint, and see my heavily bruised father, tightly tied up in a plastic chair. "But it frightens Erik too. Look familiar to D.C Erik?"

"DAD!" I scream, along with my brother, at the same time as everyone else's screams. I can't believe this has happened to him. I can't believe he did this. That my father ran from the school in the first place. We haven't failed yet. I will save him. Somehow. "Oh, he's told me so much." Oh, and I wish Vincent would shut up! "If you haven't noticed-I'm a mutant myself. A telepath, a telekinetic, and a reverse telekinetic." What's that supposed to mean? "I can stop things and people from moving. -They can still hear me, of course." He looks past me, to the middle of the room. "It's been very helpful." I hear Willow shouting from behind me. "You're just like us! So why are you punishing and hurting us?! We could join, and help each other! We could show everyone together. You don't need to grieve and hurt Erik in the process."

"You're sweet, Willow. I see why Peter fancies you." Why the hell would he say that? He must have read our minds before suiting us in these clothes and chucking us in these rooms. "Oh. You don't honestly think I wouldn't have security cameras in this building, do you?!" Why is he talking about security cameras for? What happened?! "Besides, I'm a telepath, remember? -But you don't understand. Erik has killed millions of people, including my brother. I will stop at nothing to hurt him until he realise how Sebastian's death hurt me! I know for a fact, none of you have noticed your rooms are in order of who Magneto cares about most. Charles Xavier, Raven Darkblade, your son Peter Maximoff, Kurt Wagner, Nina Kalimoor-your daughter and Willow Colt in the centre." Shit. He knows. Of course he knows! And now so does Erik.
It will break him.

"Wow. Obsessed with him much?" Peter's light-hearted sarcasm always was on point. "Can't you see where it comes from, Erik? You really need to keep track of your family. But don't worry too much. They are about to die, just like what you think your last child did." He presses a lilac button in front of him. I suddenly hear gunshots and Charles screams. I search around frantically for a way to get them out, but my floor suddenly disappears and I fall onto a patch of grass way below. I scream, then open my eyes. It's just a stupid illusion. I thump on the glass above me, but it's no use. There's no way out. I wish my friend's screams would stop. I wish this nightmare would stop. I collapse to the ground. "Interesting." I hear Shaw say. "What's so interesting about people like you in pain?!" Willow screams. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Them? Is nothing happening to her? I hope she can forgive me for my past actions. Peyer, too. Somehow I feel like this whole thing is my fault. "STOP!" Erik shouts suddenly. I open my eyes, and look over to his chamber. "Stop! Stop. It's-It's me you want. Kill me and this will be over. It's all you want. There's no need to kill them too." I start to cry as the illusion disappears and everyone stops screaming. "Erik, no." Charles sobs.

"This is the way it has to be, Charles. It only makes sense."

"We didn't come here for nothing!"

I see a tear fall from my dad's face. "Yes. Yes you did." A small circle flies towards his head as Vincent smiles and thrusts his hand out in his direction. My father just closes his eyes. I freeze, no idea what to-Freeze. "Charles! Freeze them!"

I hear the last thing I wanted to hear. "I can't." Shaw must be messing with his powers. What else can I do? Except watch my...my father die.

I hear a cracking above me, and look up to see the ceiling freezing over.
