Emma tossed and turned in her sleep as an dark figure watched silently.

~ I want you always. I need you. I must have you. Posses you. ~

Emma's eyes flew opened as she stared at the empty chair that was by her side. "Hello. Anyone in here?" She asked softly. She sat up in bed and looked wildly around her expecting to see someone. When she didn't see anyone she shook her head. "I heard someone thinking in here. Someone had to be in here just now. But who?"

She got out of bed and walked out of her bedroom into the dark and lonely hallway. "Anyone around?"

~I'm here. You have to just find me.~

~Where are you? Who are you?~ Emma closed her eyes and thought.

~You have to find me to find out. Don't be afraid you will be pleased.~

~How do I know that you wouldn't hurt me?~ Emma thought.

~I love you. You have to trust me.~

~ I can't.~ Emma opened her eyes once again. "Hello?" She called.

~Trust me. Trust our love.~

"I can't." Emma said out loud softly.

~You wouldn't find me till you can trust our love Emma.~

"Than I will never find you." With that Emma walked future down the hallway to the kitchen to make an light snack.

~Trust me. Trust yourself.~

"I can't." Emma repeated angrily as she began to make an bowl of cereal.

~Why?~

"Because I don't want to get hurt again." Emma whispered.

~I would never hurt you. I love you. You are mine and I'm yours. Forever.~

"I don't believe you." Emma said as she carried the bowl over to the table and sat down. She lifted the spoon to her mouth and took and spoonful of corn flakes.

~Trust our love.~

"What love?" Emma asked forcefully banging her spoon into her bowl. She spatted some milk over the side.

~Ever lasting love.~

Emma snorted at that.

~As soon as you open your heart up you will trust yourself and me. Our love is meant to be.~

"Who the hell are you?" Emma pounded her fist onto the table.

~Trust in our love and you will know.~

"I don't trust anyone." Emma said angrily. She jerked the spoon up to her lips and she shoveled it into her mouth.

~No. What about the Mutant X.~

"They don't expect anything from me expect for my powers to help other Mutants." Emma said softly.

~You trust your friends.~

"They would never hurt me." Emma said with tears running down her checks. She put the spoon back in the empty bowl.

~I would never hurt you.~

"Ya fucking right. Who the hell are you? Why wouldn't you tell me who the hell you are than." Emma jerked her chair backwards and got up. She carried the bowl over to the sink and rinsed it out.

~Trust me.~

"No!" Emma said forcefully. She placed the bowl into the empty dish washer and turned out the light and started back toward her room.

~Trust our love. Trust yourself.~

"Leave me the hell alone." Emma wanted to shout but she knew if she did the others would rush out and she would have to lie to them.

~Our love is meant to be Emma. You know it and there is running away from it.~

"Good nite." Emma said as she got back into bed.

~Trust me.~

"No." Emma murmured before falling into an deep sleep.
