She couldn't breathe. She couldn't think. She didn't know what to do. All she was managing at the moment was to just stare at them. She tried to inhale but couldn't. How could they? It was her close friend and her boyfriend she was supposed to trust them. All of a sudden she got the urge to run and that is precisely what she did. When she got to the fountain in the garden she stopped because she just couldn't run anymore. She couldn't believe what she just saw. She didn't want to believe it. She was so hurt and all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball and cry, but she also wanted to be strong. To show Bobby and Kitty that she was stronger than they thought and that she could get through this. She knew what everyone was thinking as she passed them in the hallways and while she was eating in the dining room. They all thought she was weak and pitiful. She knew they thought this because her mutation was changing. Nobody else knew, but she could feel it. She was slowly starting to channel all of the mutations of everyone she had touched with her poisonous skin and she could use them with the same intensity as their original owner had. She could also sense that her skin was becoming less dangerous. She knew what she had to do and she knew she had to do it now. She packed her bags and stole Ororo's car. She didn't want the professor to worry, but she couldn't tell him she was leaving so she silently left while everyone was asleep. What she didn't plan on was Logan patrolling the grounds so when he found her she was scared that her plan had failed. However just when she thought all hope was lost she thought of a great idea. She told him that she had decided to get the cure. She knew nobody would question her motives and try to follow her so she that's what she told him. She had to get away from this place because she couldn't stand the silent ridicule. So she left and she didn't even look back.
She arrived in a small town called Shylin. It was still in New York but it was a nice little town and about 3 hours away from the mansion. She felt like she wanted to be close if anything happened so she started looking around for a home and a job. She found a cute little cottage and bought it with the savings she had. (She had been saving her money since she was in diapers.) She also found a waitressing job.
