"Happy Birthday dear Hayley, Happy Birthday to you!" The sixteen candles flickered, glowing up face. I took a deep breath and blew out the candles whilst everyone cheered.
"Now for ze presents" I heard Kurt shout in the background.
"Oh, Oh mine first, mine first!" Kitty jumped up and down holding a green parcel. I opened it slowly, savouring every moment that I was surrounded by them. My new family. I held Kitty's present up high and proudly.
Roald Dahl's book, Matilda.
"I thought it'd be funny y'know. Like Matilda's got telekinesis and so have you…" Kitty smiled
"Its great!!" I laughed; my mouth ached through smiling so much. "Thanks"
I opened a few more presents then decided to go back to the 'Danger room'
"What again?" I heard everyone moan "But its weekend" "Its your birthday" "Your mad!"
I smiled and shrugged off the comments. Walking down to the danger room I sighed as I saw it was occupied. I slid down the wall and waited for Logan to finish.
I know what your thinking. Hayley, the girl who used to cut gym? The girl whose exercise was to lift the remote and change the channel, actually training? The truth was I had been doing it every day, since…since Faith left…
"Whoosh"The Danger room doors opened and out emerged a tired, sweaty Logan. He grinned when he saw me. "On yer birthday?"
"No rest for the wicked" I said walking in to the Danger room and locking the doors. "Run Logan's run X12 "
I sat silently on my bed, after the training session. My arms and legs ached and my chest felt like it was full of lead. But that was the way I like it. With so much physical pain to concentrate on, I could forget about Faith.
FaithI glanced over at her bed. Untouched like she left it. I'd been afraid to move her stuff, wouldn't allow anyone to move them, yet I had no idea why. Her clothes hung loosely out of her draws. It seemed like forever since I last saw her. But it had only been a week. My head throbbed as for the hundredth time as I thought back…
"Kid, kid I'm ok" Logan grunted. He's chest where Faith had just shot him, healed before my eyes. But I continued to scream. The rest was a blur. The Professor coming back, the remainder of the week just a haze.
The one thing that I did know was that I was going to train hard. I was never ever going to be put in a dilemma like that. I had looked death in the face, weak and helpless, and believe it or not, it scared me.
I looked at the clock beside my bed. The big digital green numbers read 8:45pm. I had another hour or so before curfew. Maybe I could run a couple of laps around the institute.
Sweat dripped off me. My chest ached but I pushed myself just one more lap. One more lap. I knew the professor and Logan were watching me from the professor window. I tried to ignore their quizzical stares, but I couldn't. I gave up and began to walk back into the institute, cursing myself for not doing that last lap…I knew Faith would be back. When, I didn't know, but I knew that she would be back. And I'd be ready!
"What do ya thinks wrong with her?" Logan asked Professor Xavier "She didn't even care that it was her birthday. I thought teens loved things like that?" He scratched his grizzly chin.
"She still troubled" The professor arched his finger under his chin as if he was silently praying, "her encounter with Faith has awoken her. She know how evil the world can now be, she wants to be…"
"Prepared" Logan finished
"Yes" The professor nodded grimly "we cannot protect her from the evil in this world. She has learned this the hard way."
"An' what 'bout Faith, any sign of her?" Logan asked
"No, Cerebro hasn't yet detected her…I only hope that if, or when we do find her, she can be helped…"
I'm not to happy with this first chapter, but what ever I wrote it didn't seem right, so ive just settled with this. But now the beginning is out of the way, I have loads of ideas for the story line :o) please review guys ^ ø ^
