To Melt a Frozen Heart

Chapter 15-Memories

Heyyyy guys it's been a while but I recently watched the new X-men movie so I've been back in the fandom and finally have some kind of idea of where to go with this, so sorry but here ya go I hope you enjoy my lovelies. Also, at the end, use your imagination ;)

Evelyn stayed in her room for the rest of the day. Her mind was full of too many emotions, and too many unsettling thoughts to be in anyones presence. Especially Charles'. Not only had she hurt him, but she kissed him. Kissed him! The remnants of Charles' words repeated in her mind over and over.

"You need to stop believing you're the monster you think you are! Your powers only become more dangerous the more you're afraid of them and yourself!"
"It's not what you are that makes who you are Evelyn, it's the choices we make that make us who we truly are."

Why must he do this? I don't know whether to hate him or to adore him. I've always pushed everyone out and now for once someone is squirming their way through and I'm not sure if I should like it or not. Or if I can even trust him.

Tears of frustration ran silently down Evelyn's porcelain cheeks. And on top of all of that, there was a foreign feeling inside her chest. It was a small warmth slowly wanting to spread. It was almost...pleasant. But it was something she's never felt before.

Perhaps it's a side effect of the serum Shaw stabbed me with. But it doesn't hurt. Shaw would never inject something in me that wouldn't hurt. Then...what is it?

All in all, Evelyn was a figurative and literal mess.

A knock interrupted her rushing thoughts.
"Evelyn?"

Oh god, come on can't you just leave me alone?

"No I'm afraid I cannot." He replied to her thoughts.

"What do you want then?" Evelyn snapped.

"I came to talk. Nothing too terrible. Could you please..let me in?" Charles asked softly.

Evelyn sighed in agitation. All he had done so far was to help her. And it's just talking right? She'll kick him out if it turns out badly.

Footsteps made their way towards the door and opened it hastily.

"Fine, but make it quick."

Evelyn sat on her bed waiting for Charles to start a typical lecture. Surprisingly, he sat down beside her.

"I want you to try to get into my mind."

What? Is he crazy?

"Charles are you crazy?" Evelyn stared at him, flabbergasted and slightly annoyed.

"Just try it. I'll only put up a small block this time, and every time I'll put up a stronger one. It's an easy practice method."

Evelyn was about to protest when she realized she'd either A-meet another telepath and have to keep them from entering her mind, and/or B-keep Charles from entering hers.

"Okay fine." She approved.

"Alright, now I want you to concentrate all your energy into trying to penetrate my mind and get into my thoughts."
