Room 202

Room 202
Reverie McIntyre

The room is spacious, large enough that it could easily house four students(somewhat) comfortably. In opposite corners of the room are matching oak beds, with plain white sheets(unless students brought their own from home), each with their own nightstand and lamp next to it. There are two desks, along with a single large bookshelf between them that acts as the room divider. The closet is split similarly, one side for one student, the other for the second, matching dressers facing each other under the hanging clothes. Each side has its own sink, obviously meant for preparations for the day and night, with a shared bathroom. There is also a large, flat screen tv between the bedroom, and closet door with a webcam that can be used to call other rooms, regular television, and student broadcasts. A black leather love seat is under the tv, it’s purpose purely comfort.

Each side of the room can be decorated however it’s occupant wants, and no student is allowed to remove anything from their roommates side of the room. Like wise, they are not allowed to remove anything from the room that is school property(the tv, web cam, couch, beds, etc).

Dakota changed the sheets on her bed before she tossed her new comforter on it once she was done that she sat on the love seat and started flipping through the channels, she was going through one of her sad days the type of day where she was depressed and didn't want to be around anyone. Sighing she shook her head knowing what her sister's power is she knew that she had to pull herself together so Revie would not be worried. Kota was the rock she needed to be strong for her sister, Revie was all that mattered now that she as refused to talk to her parents since she was sent to this place. Pushing back the sadness to the way back of her head she smiled wondering if anyone could see that it was a fake one.

Dakota was getting bored but didn't want to leave her room to worried about the other students and what they thought of her. Sighing to herself she looked around wondering where her better half was. Her sister was sweeter more innocent and Kota was going anything to protect that. Reverie was probably the only one that Dakota could say she loved and mean it.

She had an idea on how to find her sister true Dakota was not the mind reader or person that could read minds but with the bond they had she was thinking if she thought hard enough her sister would hear it. “Reverie?” she thought hoping it would work and her sister would come back.

[Reverie McIntyre]

Reverie was, typically, one to hide away in her and her sister's dorm room. But who could blame her? With her poor eyesight (well, just motion blind, actually, but that was pretty much worse then having to wear glasses. Those people could at least see blurs that were others!), and her inability to keep others thoughts out of her head.... Well, let's just say wandering the halls could be pretty hazardous. Not only because she had a tendency to literally run into the wrong sort of person, but because.... There were just some thoughts she'd rather not hear. Today alone she'd managed to over hear (over think?) two of her fellow students having a little to much fun in that infamous closet.

So, face bright red, she'd retreated to the tunnels. Since the twins had arrived at the school, Reverie had explored the tunnels countless times. Hell, to be honest, she knew them far better then the hallways of the school. Not to mention, the tunnels held a very special place in her heard, because they'd been something she shared with her boyfriend, Damien.

Oh, she missed Damien. So, so much. He was off at college now, across the country. Sure he still called all the time, but it wasn't the same. When he'd left, the girl had refused to go to any of their spots for weeks, and that included the secret passageways. It hadn't been until last month that she dared to explore them once again.

Reverie had never told her sister, Dakota, about Damien. Who knew how she might react to news like that! Now that Damien was gone though, it really didn't matter if she told her or not. But what reason would she have to tell her sister now? Oh well... Maybe someday.

Speaking of Dakota... Reverie was lost in her own thoughts, still wandering the tunnels, when she heard it. Her sister's thought, silently calling out to her. Reverie had always been more aware of her sister's thoughts, probably because of the bond they shared. There was a theory, that twins, even fraternal, had an acute awareness of each other. They might not feel each other's pain, but they knew when they were safe. When they were in danger. And, in Reverie's case, Dakota's thoughts always rang out clearer then anyone else's. She could literally be in a crowd of hundreds (probably having a mental overload), and she'd still be able to find Dakota's thoughts.

Reverie was to far away to get a good grip on her sister's thoughts, but it was pretty clear what she wanted. Kota was calling her. "Coming." Even though both girl's sported thick Scottish accents, it rarely transferred to their thoughts, which was probably a good thing, since Reverie was already ridiculously self conscious about the way she spoke.

Knowing the tunnels like the back of her hand really came in handy now as she took a short cut up to the dormitories. She knew where to find Kota. Their dorm room. Not just because she knew her sister, and could easily predict where to find her, but because the closer she got to said room, the clearer her sister's thoughts became. In little time at all, she was slipping out of one of the hidden entrances, and slowly making her way down the hall.

Her steps became more hesitant now, because she could hear other people's thoughts. All around her. But she couldn't see them. Miraculously, she managed to avoid any collisions, and was soon turning the doorknob of the twin's dorm room. Entering, a small smile crossed her lips as she caught sight of her twin. "Ye called?" that thick Scottish accent of her's really was strong, but unlike most people, Kota would understand it perfectly.

Dakota held her head as she looked down at the floor why was school so hard? Why was socializing so hard? Part of her wanted to tell someone anyone the sadness she was feeling but she had to be strong she always had to be. The pressure that her parents put on her to watch out for her twin was hard but she didn't do it for them she did it because her sister was all that she had the only one that understood her. Trying not to think about being sad she didn't want to worry her sister. Kota was the rock the one that had to be strong when she wasn't it was just the way she was wired.

Taking a breath she looked up at the door when she hard the door knob turning she knew it was Rev putting on a smile she greeted her sister gently. She had called but did she have the strength to tell her baby sister why? Kota loved the Scottish accent they both had to her it was cute but she knew how Rev felt about it so she didn't say anything. Standing up she walked over to her sister and hugged her as she started to cry it was no or never and sooner or later Rev was going to hear the thoughts she was hiding.

“I am tired, scared and overwhelmed. Professor X believes that I'm holding myself back because of my fears and emotions but honestly Rev. I'm sad and can't really explain why” she said as she explained her feelings to her twin and coming clean about being sad.

Letting go of her sister she walked over to her bed and sat down pulling her knees up to her chest and hugging them tight. “I feel like I am failing.”

[Reverie McIntyre]

Reverie knew Dakota had been keeping secrets. She'd always known. What they were though remained a mystery. She might be a telepath, but she had little to no control over her power. Maybe if she practiced, if she learned to control her power, she'd be able to hear more then just surface thoughts. And maybe, just maybe, she'd learn to control what she hears. Or... sees...

Dakota wasn't the only one with secrets. Reverie had a few of her own. First, her boyfriend. Second.... Seeing things. What they were... She wasn't quite sure. At first, Reverie had thought she was just sleep deprived, that she was imagining the strange flashes she would from time to time, and they'd been fairly easy to ignore. At least... until a few days ago. When one such flash had forced Reverie to witness a violent murder... Which she heard about the next day on the news. There was absolutely no way Reverie could have known about this murder before the announcement on the news... So how had she known? Why had she seen something like that? What exactly was she seeing in the first place?

No, this wasn't the time to dwell on those things. Those horrible images she'd probably never forget. Dakota was in trouble. Emotionally.

Reverie felt the wave of emotion from her sister long before that first tear. To say the blonde was confused was an understatement. If anything, she looked shocked, startled by this bizarre wave of emotions. Well, Bizarre for Dakota. Dakota was the tough one. The brave one. The one that never cried. This sort of display of emotion was.... well more then usual. It was actually a little unnerving to be honest.

Her reaction was a little slow, but that wasn't that unusual, since she couldn't see you most the time, she couldn't really consider reacting before she was touched, or in this case, hugged. Dakota's arms wrapped tightly around the blonde twin, who, after taking a few seconds to figure out what exactly happened, quickly returned the gesture. She gently closed her own arms around Dakota, listening careful to everything she said.

Reverie didn't say anything, just listened as Kota let everything out. Her words only explained everything so much, and what they didn't, Rev got from her sister's thoughts. Was she.... really this miserable? How could she have hidden it from Reverie for so long though? How could she act like everything was fine, when she'd been in so much pain? Why did Kota even feel the need to keep these things secret..?

Okay, she could answer that last part. She didn't want to worry Reverie. It was the same reason the blonde kept her own secrets. Silently, she followed her twin to her bed, sitting down next to her, and giving her a sympathetic and caring look. "Do ye... Hate ih 'ere? Would ye be happy.... if we went 'ome?" Would Dakota feel better if the two went back home to their parents?

Lifting her head slowly she looked at her younger sister and sighed Dakota hated herself for doing this to Reverie she had promised her mother she would be strong and help Reverie but now she was breaking down she sad, not acting so strong at this moment. This was not the strong girl she was but her heart hurt so much and she was lonely. Taking a breath she looked around the room “I...” she started but couldn't bring herself to say anything. Silently staring at her twin she tried her hardest to gain some strength, Kota knew that this behavior was freaking out her baby sister, she was the strong one, the one that protected her family and never ever cried.

Taking a breath as she tried to control her emotions “I ne'ed wat er” she said as she reached over to her nightstand, picking up the glass she leaned back next to her sister. Finally she moved the glass to her mouth but no water came out it had froze when she touched it. Sighing she put the glass on the water “Sist er I don't hate ih 'ere I just going through a l ot. NO!” she screamed as her body shook a little. “I don't want to go 'ome” it was almost like she was scared to go home bad memories there. Dakota had fallen in love with a boy but when he found out about her powers he called her a freak and ran away, no Dakota couldn't go home. Beside Reverie needed this school so Kota would stick it out and also learn to control her powers.

“Reverie i'm sorry I didn't mean to yell” she said as she looked at her sister to make sure she was okay. “I know this is weird of me to say but I'm lonely. I don't know what to do I fear no one will like me and you remember I fainted around a lot of people....” Looking at her sister “Why don't boys like me?” she said wiping the tears out of her eyes. The strong Dakota was lonely and sad but she didn't want to go home.

[Reverie McIntyre]

It wasn't exactly a secret that Reverie was the 'weaker' of the twins, but that was probably just because she was the one struggling to maintain her sanity. Sure, mind reading was useful, but when you couldn't control it... When it threatened to drive you insane... Well, let's just say as soon as she found out about her sister's power, Revie had been jealous. How easy it must be for Kota. How much simpler things must be...

It was those thoughts alone that made this whole conversation rather.... unnerving. Kota didn't have it easy. Power wise, okay she did have it easy. But not in other areas. When meeting new people, Kota could come off as sullen and intimidating, which made it hard to make friends for obvious reasons. It was probably that reason the twins were so close to begin with, both had traits that potential friends found.... unappealing. All they'd had was each other and their older sister.

So, silent, Reverie just listened to what Dakota had to say, and think. It made a little sense, why Kota was feeling this way. But that didn't mean Revie liked it. She hated seeing (and hearing) her twin in this much pain, and to make it worse? Revie didn't know what she was supposed to do. Usually, the roles were reversed, she was the one crying and going on about what was going on with Kota trying to comfort her!

The yell took the girl was surprise, her whole body violently flinching from shock (which wasn't to unexpected, nearly everything made her jump). ".....Ih's okay." was all she muttered after Kota's quick apology. She would have added more, but her sister was already talking once again. So, falling silent once more, she merely listened, and waited for her next opportunity to speak.

"Boys like ye... Ah hear 'em sometimes. Ih's just hard to see, cause ye cannae read minds. A lot o' people like ye, to be honest, all ye gotta do is talk to them." Okay, the boys thoughts were usually about how pretty Kota was, but she'd heard quite a few that were interested after Kota managed to catch their attention.

It was still odd, that Kota was the one voicing her fears and worries, and not Reverie. Oh, Revie had them, more so then usual. But for once, she wanted to stay silent, let Kota believe everything was going great. That Revie was getting better...

The months before the twins came to Xavier's had been... intense to say the least. Both girls had started showing signs of being different. Reverie couldn't remember to much of that time, probably because she'd felt like she was losing her mind, so she still wasn't sure what Kota's signs had been. The point was, even their parents had been convinced their youngest daughter was going insane. She didn't want anyone to ever think that about her again... So she'd keep quiet. She wouldn't tell anyone that she was seeing things. She'd put on a brave face, and act like everything was fine...

Dakota shook her head and put her hand over her mouth as she realized everything she just had said this couldn't be happening she was suppose to be the strong one she was told all the time from her parents that she was not to have emotional problems in front of Revie. It was like they loved her little sister more shaking that thought away she sighed as she rejected everything she said. Her pain, her feelings, her depression was a secret and she just let the cat out of the bag. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stood up and started to pace the room. She saw her sister shake and she caused it. Dakota's world was crashing down she never wanted to hurt her sister and here she was hurting her with her emotions.

Dakota dropped back on her bed defeated she couldn't do this anymore she just wanted to run away she was nothing by trouble. The teachers here call her a trouble maker and now she was hurting her sister she wished she could turned back time and stopped herself from telling her sister what was in her head. “Revie...I...” she stopped herself she was broken there was just to much emotions in her head and her body was ice cold.

Dakota lifted her head and looked at her little sister as she spoke trying to make her feel better. Kota felt so bad for putting all that on her sister and she was beating herself up for doing this. Kota continued to look at her sister and could tell there was something going on after all they were twins each girl knew the other so well.

“Revie? What's on your mind and please don't lie to me?” she asked in a gentle and soft tone. Kota was going to turn the tables and find out what her little sister was hiding. After all Dakota was raised to watch out for Revie to take in all her problem and help her through them its all Kota knew she didn't know how to go and ask someone for help and this was the first time ever that Kota lost grip and exploded. Kota would never think any ill about her sister she yelled at her parents once for calling her insane if anyone was insane it was Kota after all she was called Ice Princess and Icy for a reason. She had to be that way to take in everything and protect her sister.

“Revie I can't help or protect you if I don't know besides when in the world have I ever let you down? Don't you trust me Little sister?” she asked scared she just blow it with her sister.

[Reverie McIntyre]

Why was it that their family had always assumed Reverie was the weak one? That she needed Dakota to protect her? Was it just because Kota was older? Was it because her parents didn't think she was capable of looking after herself? Or were they just worried because of her obvious... issues?

Dakota hadn't scared her younger sister with the outburst, just startled her. Because of her sight impairment, when Dakota was moving, Reverie literally couldn't see her. So, obviously, Dakota yelling, while Revie couldn't see her? A little surprising. "Please, ih wasnae that bad. Ye just surprised me a little, is all!"

Suddenly, the conversation took a 180. Kota had realized something was up. Reverie had tried he hardest to keep it from showing, to make sure her sister didn't learn something was wrong. Slowly, Reverie frowned, trying to act like she had no idea what her sister was talking about. That plan backfired though when Kota basically guilt tripped her. Of course Reverie trusted her! And Kota had NEVER let her down before now!

But.... Even Reverie didn't know what was happening to her! What was she supposed to say? I think I'm going crazy again? Yeah, greeeaaaat plan. Who knew how Kota might react. Frowning even more, though this time it was sincere, she lowered her brilliant blue gaze to the floor, deep in thought. "Ah trust ye. Ih's just.... Ah donnae even know what's happen'in to me...." Her voice trailed off, as if often did when she was insecure. "Ah keep.... see'in th'ings. Ah dunno if ah'm really go'in crazy this time or no'... But... one minute ah'm here, the next ah'm see'in someth'in terrible happen somewhere else..."

[kota]

Dakota sighed she was still mad at herself for doing this to Revie. No she knew her place even if Revie didn't know what their parents had turned Kota into. Battling the demons in her head she looked up at Revie the only person in the world she could say she loved with all her heart she wondered if Reverie could see that oh if Dakota was that cold hearted to she couldn't. Taking a breathe she smiled to her sister and stood up walking to the door; she opened the door slowly and looked around the hall before shutting it and locking it before turning and leaning against as she listened to her sister. She nodded to her sister as she told her it wasn't that bad. Kota knew her sister was stronger than what her parents thought she was and part of her wished they would stop treating Reverie like a doll. It was that Kota wasn't jealous she just wanted her twin to be able to live a life without all this crap their parents were doing to her.

Kota watched her sister and her attempt to try act like she didn't know what Kota was talking about. Dakota knew her sister better then anyone so this was not flying with her. Waiting for her sister to slip what was going on she sighed as she struggled with the feeling of her own sister thinking that she was going to judge her or worse treat her differently.

Dakota listened closely to everything her little sister was saying but when her heard her trail off she knew something was up that only happened when she was insecure. So that her sister didn't think that she was scared about what she heard she did what she did best. “Ye are se'in th'ings?” at first she thought that meant her sister was getting her sight back but as she thought about it she shook her head “Ye not crazy!” she said strongly she hated it when her sister thought she was crazy. Even with their parents thinking that Kota never did.

“Ye po'wers are gro'wing” she said thinking out loud th'at do'es not ma'ke ye crazy” she said as she walked up to her sister slowly and hugged her for know it would be their secret Kota never ratted her sister out and always found away to help her. “We will fig'ure this out” she said softly not showing any emotions but love and caring hoping her sister would see that she could tell her things without Dakota freaking out.

It did concern Dakota a little with her saying she seeing terrible things but she didn't show her sister that because it was concern for her sister out of love not fear. She needed to figure out how to help her sister through this change because Dakota's secret was she couldn't handle it if she lost her sister she needed Reverie a lot more than everyone thought.

[Reverie McIntyre]

Reverie would love (not really) to think her powers were, as Kota put it, growing. But, sadly? She wasn’t too convinced. Or at all! ”Ah think ah’m just hallucinat’in…” There had been no real proof it was her power after all. That murder, maybe it was just a coincidence. And, hey! Had you ever heard of a telepath power developing in that sort of a way? Or, more specifically, how was it developing to begin with?! What was she seeing? Past? Present? Future? Yeah, right. She wasn’t a fortune teller.

Reverie was stiff in Kota’s arms, but that wasn’t to surprising, it was a typical reaction with the girl. One, because she couldn’t see you coming, and two, you usually stopped hugging her by the time she realized what was going on. ”Ih’s just…. Ah donnae understand what’s happen’in. If yer right, if ih’s develop’in, how? Ah donnae know what ah’m see’in. Ah hope ih’s no’ real at all, cause ih isnae always… pleasant.”

Oh, if their parents found out what was happening…. They HAD to keep that can of worms closed. They couldn’t find out. Ever. They’d probably think her telepathy was finally driving her really insane. Who knew how they might react to that news! Would they pull her from the school entirely? Would they try to block her telepathy to return her sanity? She’d heard some rather terrifying rumors of telepaths being locked away, forced to take so much medication that they lived in a constant haze. Okay, her parents wouldn’t do that, but they might go to some extreme actions if they thought her power was driving her insane…
