1. Prologue

I stink at Prologues, but the story will be good.

Kitty walked through the darkness, the shadows creeping her out. She'd just had a nightmayer, so she was taking a walk in the mountains. Stopping at a cliff, she gazed at the full moon. A chilling breeze made her hair whip around, and she shivered. Suddenly, a crack sonded from behind her. Gasping, she spun around. "Like, W-who's there?" She called into the darkness.

At first, she saw nothing. "Must be the wind," she thought out loud. Just as she did, something jumped at her. She phased through it, and stared at the creature. It was a cougar, but she chuckled. She'd taken on the brotherhood, so she wasn't scared. Forgetting she was on a ledge, she phased through the cliff. Now, she was scared. She fell through the air with a scream.

The ground below was hard stone. Holding her breath, she fell through the rock as though it were air. She landed with a splash in some water. Looking around, her eyes widened. She was in a cave, much like the one she'd found Danielle Moonstar in. Putting her bangs behind her ears, she groaned. "This is totally gross!"

Looking around, she knew there was no way out. The roof was to high to get to, and the walls probably led to more caves. Her only hope was the X-men. When she saw a shadow moving in the darkness, she swallowed. She hoped they got here in time. She was not alone.
