"Oh... believe me," Sarah answered, considering Laura's question and biding for time, "It does. Just not here."

There was so much more to it Where to begin? The blond mutant considered what to reveal and what not to. One thing that was certain was that Laura kept secrets. She was trained to do so. That made things different than with some of the other students. She'd told Bamf, errr... Magnus, a little bit of it but she didn't trust even him. He was far too playful and free spirited, too much like herself. Unlike Laura, Sarah knew she was something of a gossip and couldn't be trusted.

"That's probably because I was made this way by someone, a telepath with power that almost matched Xavier's," Sarah explained, "Before him I was rather timid and ordinary. I read fantasy books and hid myself away from the world. My own power gave me nightmares and those nightmares spawned shadows on my bedroom wall that spawned more nightmares. I didn't use curlers, wear makeup and I wore baggy clothes.

Sarah stepped away from the railing and spun on her bare feet, keeping to her toes and pirouetted, letting the ebon silks she wore floated around her limbs and the waves of golden hair spilled out with the force of her spin. She then leaned back against the rail for she realized that, having moved away from the railing that Laura was forced to choose between looking at her and the ship they were preying upon.

"Then he came along and rewrote my brain. He made me...." Sarah continued and then paused, trying to figure out how to euphemize what she was going to say, "Oh, who am I trying to kid. He made me his slut- and made me totally obedient as well. I was practically his slave. The professor fixed a lot of the damage in my head but I found I liked some aspects of what he'd done to me. For one, I'm a hell of a lot braver. I'd never do the things I do back then but then there are the drawbacks. I still like being tied up and being submissive and I have to resist that all the time-"

Sarah noted that the ship had grown quite close. It wouldn't be long now before everything went to hell. Which was the good part she had to admit. The cannonades, the boarding and then, of course, killing the captain and taking the ship for yourself.

"-and I think you're about to do your thing." Sarah noted and withdrew slightly to allow Laura a moment to concentrate.
