Dawn
Dawn was happily chatting online, the tv on in the background, when she heard the news reports. She started hyperventilating, and soon after had to leave the chat. Crying, she ran past a confused Scott and straight for Logan's room.
"NYX! Nyx, oh Nyx! Please be here I need you!" Still crying, she banged on the bedroom door.
Nyx and Logan
"What the-" Nyx scrambled for her clothes. Logan looked pissed as he pulled on his pants. "Coming, sweetie!"
"Well, we were about to be," Logan said none too quietly.
"Oh, hush! Dawn, sweetie, what's wrong?" Nyx made sure Logan was mostly dressed as she opened the door.
Dawn
"It's Cain. Pink, the mutant rapper was giving a concert, and he just came on stage and killed her. Bit into her heart & then threw it at the fans. Scalped her & mowed down the audience with a machine gun. Oh Nyx, why didn't we kill him when we had the chance?" Dawn asked through her tears.
Nyx and Logan
"Oh, Eternal MOther." Nyx wrapped Dawn ion her arms and started purring. Soon, Spike turned up, running flat out.
"What's wrong with the bit? Platelet?"
"Turn on the tv, and take a look. I think they'd still be showing it. Shh, Dawnie, sweetie, we'll get him. Kill him."
"You bet." Logan nodded.
Dawn
Dawn looked up through tear-streaked eyes. "Even though the professor said no?" She asked, sniffling. "I wanna gouge his eyes out."
Nyx and Logan
"Some people just need killing. He comes under this category." Nyx's eyes were hard chips of emerald stone.
"Well, me and Nyx don't havta listen to him none. We're older then he is, anyway." Spike put a hand on Dawn's shoulder.
"I plan to come along, anyway." Logan's expression was feral.
"Let me...DAMMIT!" Nyx tore herself from Dawn's arms and Spike cradled Dawn as the cat strode up and down cursing. "HE FOUND SOME MAGICK!"
"Oh, someone pissed off the kitty."
Dawn
Dawn let Spike hold her. She loved it when he carried her, made her feel safe, like she was 3 and Hank Summers would carry her around.
"Can you call the X-men? I want the whole team to go. Janusz and Dagon have blessed me," Dawn sniffled. "Willow?" she prayed prayed out loud. "I need you." Suddenly, she appeared.
"Dawn honey, what happened?"
"Cain. Bad mutant. Tried to kill me. Shoulda killed him when I had the chance. Look," Dawn pointed to the tv, and Willoiw's eyes widened in shock.
"It's okay Dawnie, we'll get him."
Rogue
Rogue stared at the TV screen, as if she were mesmerised.
The murder of Pink replayed in her head over and over. She could feel Cain in her head. She licked her lips.
With a jerk she realised something.
Something horrible.
She liked it.
