Chapter 6

Xavier's eyelids twitched violently as he tried to jerk himself awake. It was happening again. If he didn't wake up soon, he wouldn't be able to control his powers from unleashing.

He knew he was having the dreams again and the outcome was never good. He wasn't in control of his body and he was sweating profusely.

A blinding white light suddenly shot out of his hands in a terrifying wave. It shattered the windows and mirrors in his room and glass pieces flew around the room. The curtains were torn to shreds, and a massive crack appeared in the walls.

The white light glowed brighter, consuming everything in the room until Xavier suddenly jerked awake. His eyes were as bright as the moon. In the blink of an eye, the white glow disappeared and his eyes returned to their normal silvery colour.

It was morning already. He took in the state of his room and sighed deeply. This happened everytime he had the dreams. His inability to control his powers always resulted in disasters like this.

He had lost count of how many times his parents refurnished his room after having an episode like this. This was why they wanted Serena to come live with them before she started having the dreams.

Serena was different. Although they were twins born of the same spell, they were totally different. Serena was special, and this was the reason why their parents had to give her up when she was born. To protect her from the creatures who would try to destroy her. She was the one in the prophecy, the chosen one who would dominate and restore peace to the realm.

He hoped she would change her mind soon before her dreams began.

Getting off the bed, he walked gingerly towards the bathroom, careful not to step on the scattered pieces of glass. After a long shower, he dressed in grey pants and a button down shirt and made his way to his dad's office.

As he walked down the hallway he came across Cassie, the daughter to one of the maids. She blushed warmly as she saw him and lowered her head to hide a smile. She was a young witch and Xavier was infatuated with her.

But he kept it a secret because his father would never approve of such a relationship.

He would usually stop and pull her into one of the vacant rooms to steal a kiss or two. But he wasn't in the right frame of mind. The dream had ruined his mood and he wanted to have a serious talk with his father.

"Cassie." He murmured softly and flashed a smile at her.

Cassie bowed her head in respect as they passed each other. She was a bit disappointed when he didn't pull her close like he always did but she took it off her mind and continued with her chores.

Xavier knocked on the door to the office before entering. Logan was sitting behind a massive mahogany desk, staring at the crystal ball before him.

"Dad, is everything okay?" Xavier asked.

Logan took a deep breath and moved his eyes from the crystal ball to his son.

"Yes, yes." He murmured. "I'm just contemplating over a few things."

"Things like what?" Xavier probed further. He knew his father was in deep thoughts whenever he acted that way.

"Never mind, Xavier. Have you had breakfast? Your mom should be waiting for us." Logan rose up and pushed the crystal ball away.

"I'm not hungry." Xavier shook his head. "It happened again."

Logan looked up at him and knew instantly what he was talking about. "I'll call in the Night Faes to put your room in order. It shouldn't take long..."

"It's not about putting my room in order, dad." Xavier interrupted him. "I need to know how I can control my powers. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"I understand, Xavier. The Sisters of the Night have been notified. They will be here with the remedy by the next full moon." Logan explained. He knew what Xavier was going through. He remembered when he himself turned eighteen.

As a powerful witch with royal blood, it wasn't an easy task trying to control his powers. At this time, the power was at its peak and it would want to unleash itself at any given opportunity if not properly controlled.

Only the Sisters of the Night had the remedy to keep the powers on a tight leash. But they only travelled on the night of a full moon so it would take a long time before they got to the Michaelsons' mansion.

Logan only hoped Xavier would be able to endure till they arrived.

"I understand how you feel, Xavier." He continued. "Your mother and I are doing everything we can."

Xavier sighed and nodded. He turned to leave when his entire body froze suddenly. His eyes turned white, the colour of the moon, and his hair emitted a deep purple glow.

"Xavier?" Logan called repeatedly. He became alert when Xavier remained still. He knew what was happening.

The door opened and Isabel walked in. She stopped dead when she saw her son in that strange state.

"Xavier?" she yelled in alarm. "Logan what's happening to him?"

Logan held her and pulled her back when she tried to touch him.

"Nothing is wrong, Isabel." He assured her. "He's having a vision. You don't need to be worried. This is totally normal. The only thing we can do is to give him time and not to break his concentration."

"What happens if he does?" Isabel asked softly. "You've never told me about any visions."

"I didn't know it would happen so soon. I swear on my life Isabel, I would never hide anything from you." Logan answered. "If he loses his concentration, his soul would be lost to another realm. We just have to wait."

As quickly as it started, it ended. Xavier gasped and sucked in a deep breath. His eyes returned to its silvery colour and he frowned when he saw Isabel.

"Mom? When did you get here?" Then he looked towards Logan. "Did I black out?"

"You had a vision." Logan answered. What did you see?"

Xavier frowned, trying to remember. "I'm not really sure." He muttered.

"Don't force it." Logan said. "This is your first time so it will be a bit hazy. Relax and let it come naturally."

Xavier took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Pieces of memories danced around his subconscious. He saw Serena at a shop. Then he saw people staring at her in horror. He saw pieces of glass everywhere. The walls were cracked.

Then he saw her run out. She wasn't watching where she was going. He saw her run into an incoming truck...

Xavier's frown deepened. His memory shifted and he saw Serena at the other side of the road, unharmed. The truck had been sliced in two.

That was when Xavier opened his eyes. They were filled with fear. "It's Serena." He said in panic. "I think her powers have been unleashed."

Logan's eyes widened. Things were happening too fast.

"What does this mean?" Isabel asked worriedly.

"It's happening already. We need to bring Serena here as quickly as possible."
