Telepathy (Young Charles Xavier Fanfic)

Chapter 16

  ELENA

"I am worried..." I whispered to myself as I waited and waited for Cameron to wake up . He showed no signs of getting up and it's been a few hours on the road . I hope it doesn't extend to a coma or something...I can't bear with this..I really need to speak with him . I have no idea where we were going but I trust Erik to get us to safety so I left that to him . 

"Mm...." Cameron's face - which laid on my lap in the backseat - moved to both sides and a few groans escaped from his mouth . His eyes were moving so apparently he was having a dream . A bad dream judging by the sweat on his forehead and the twisting of his head...

  I stroked his hair trying to offer comfort . Maybe he'd wake up if he felt relaxed...

I sighed in frustration . No use . 

"Not yet ?"

"Not yet ." I nodded . Giving up waking him . I am out of methods...unless...

"Actually...I think I should put a little change.." I said , positioning myself to face Cameron's face . "What are you gonna do ?" Erik asked , a bit of worry in his voice . 

"I don't know.. perhaps a punch ?" Erik stared in horror then recovered at once when he realized it was just a joke , "Sounds good."

"Too painful though.." I chuckled , obviously not attempting to punch him . 

"A slap ?" I asked myself . "Too romantic , right ?"

Erik chuckled in agreement when I finally got it!

"What about freezing cold water ??" Clapping , just like an excited little child , I grabbed the bottle next to Erik . "Heyy I wanted to drink that!" 

"Too bad for you ." Yep , fake sympathy filled my voice . 

I lifted the lid , tilted the bottle and the moment the water hit his face , he jolted upwards and shoved the bottle to my face . Thank you Cameron , thank you . A payback even though you are still not in your senses . 

"What the..." 

"Finallyyy" I pulled him into my arms . Damn I really was worried about him!

"W-What happened ?" He rubbed his hair in a nervous matter and I could see the hint of red on his ears . Huh ? Why is that ?

"You passed out and now we're going to -"

"Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters ." Erik said with a smile . His reflection in the mirror revealed his hopeful eyes . Looks like he loves that school as much as the professor does . 

"Are you serious?!" Cameron jumped of his seat with a huge grin that seemed to wipe all of the troubles we just had a while ago . Erik nodded in response . 

"What about the guards there though ? How did you pass them ?" 

"Apparently , this man right here has telekinesis powers! You should have told me before!" I exclaimed in pure annoyance . He is absolutely magnificent and I never knew! 

"Woah...how come I missed that.." 

"You are gonna see it very soon , Cameron . If you're intending to register at the school." Erik replied then looked at his hand watch . "About time we get there.." 

"Sure I am . What about you , El ?" Cameron turns to me , child innocence in his eyes that I know will soon be transformed to sheer disappointment . 

"Well , um...I am not sure I'll stay . I'll pay it a quick visit but then I'd be off to...Germany.." I confessed . I have kept the matter secret now , only the professor knew about that but I didn't mention to Cameron that I'll eventually leave .
