Chapter 1
I guess you could say it was a normal morning at the Institute. Everyone was talking loudly and I didn't give a fuck. This was the normal morning thing here. I looked up to see Mr. Logan was reading the paper in his normal 'leave me the hell alone' matter. Night Crawler was bugging everyone to pass the food and things like that and I was sitting there reading the newspaper while TV. It was on the local news station.
I didn't care till I heard "Five young men and women brought swords to the West Brunswick High School yesterday. The leader of the gang, Larry Smyth…" the news guy said. I got up and turned up the TV. Everyone shut up. I stood there watching what was going on. Until I just fell to my knees. With the 'it can't be look on my face'
"Larry why did you do that." I muttered. I felt some ones hand on my back. I looked up and saw it was Jean Gray. I just ran to my room and tried to call them to see if it was a wrong. I got Larry's sister, who was in shock, and was told that he was in jail and he killed Krystle (his girlfriend) and the rest of our friends.
"Ann its time for school." Jean said from the door.
"I'm not going."
"Come on Ann, you have to."
"No I'm not going." I said firmly. My face was berried in my pillow. What was I to do? I could not go to school and wonder what was going on at my old school where I found my powers and were my ex-boyfriend just killed someone.
"What should I tell your teachers?"
"Tell them what ever you want. I have to get home and talk to Larry and the guys." I was now packing a few tee shirts and jeans.
"Larry?"
"He's my old boy friend. I thought he would never harm a fly but then he killed someone with the sword I gave him, for his Birthday, when we were a couple." I walked right out with my backpack over my shoulder. "Jean I have to do this as Ann not For Seer." I walked right to where Prof. Xavier was. "Prof. Xavier I have to go back to West Brunswick."
"What? Why?" He asked.
"I need the truth."
"Fine go. Take this. It will send us a signal that will send back up if you need it." He handed me a pen.
"Sorry but I have to do this alone."
"Are you sure you want to go alone?"
"Yes. I have to see Larry and find out the truth."
"Ann I think you know the truth inside of you." He was trying to stop me from going. I could tell that. But I would not lesson.
"I'll call when I get there." I walked out. I walked right past Scott and the guys; they were wondering what was going on and why I walked out of the dining room.
"Ann what happened?" Scott said to me as I walked past.
"Nothing I have to go home for a while." I said coolly trying to hide it.
"Ann, were a team you have to know that by now. You can tell us your problems."
"Scott, how would you like it if your first boyfriend killed people at the school you would be at now? And how would you like it if he used the sword that you gave him as a gift?"
"First it would have to be a girl and second I wouldn't like it."
"You lived in West Brunswick didn't you?" Rouge asked me. I couldn't here that much hatred in her voice so I was not sure what to reacted to it so I just went on as if it didn't happen.
"Yea. I loved it there yet I hated it cause there was nothing to do since they closed the cheep movies."
"Where did you guys go to the movies?" Curt asked.
"Over in North Brunswick. Now guys I have to go home."
"Hey Ann I've always wanted to meet your old friends and family." Kitty said to me. "We've only seen one picture of yours. The one on your desk."
I took that picture out of my backpack. "This was taken three days before you guys came and I saved your asses. It was the semi-formal that the guys were crashing just to bug Krystle and me. It was the only time I wore a dress in front of anyone but my family." I remembered everything that happened that night. I loved it.
"Ann I'm coming with you." That was Scott.
"No your not. I can still put you in a coma faster then you can ask why. I'm going alone."
"No need to get mad. We just wanna help you out." Kitty chimed in. Kitty was one of the only people that did not fight me. I guess she was smart and knew not to pick a fight with someone that can put Scott into comas with out braking a nail or using the my powers. "Ann, we just want you to be safe. I think you should take some one to talk to on the trip."
"Fine Jean you can come." I choice Jean because she is like my older sister that I can trust. She's not like the rest of them; she has that sense that I'm not that happy here and wish I were home with my friends.
"Alright. I'll be right back with my stuff so we can leave." She left and I filled them in on everything that was going on at home. I told them about the dance and how Larry had bribed the DJ into playing our song. Our song had curses in it every 30 seconds. The teachers were really mad at that. When Jean returned, "Ann why don't we take the X jet?"
"No. I wanna do this the normal way. Were going to the Air Port." They all look shocked when I said that. I never liked plains and always took the X Cycle. There was a stream of drought running in my mind about my choice to leave. "Lets go." I walked out of the institute. *What was I doing? What am I going to find? Why do I care so much? * Those questions filled my mind as we bought the tickets. "Jean, I'm going to call my mom and tell her that I'm coming back for a while and that I have a friend with me."
"Sure. Just don't run off on me like you tried last time when Scott tried to take you home to the institute."
"You can't let that die. Can you?" I said walking to a payphone. My number was easy that I remembered it like nothing else. Since it was early, but not too early (9:00 eastern time) I would have no problem getting threw.
"Hello." I heard my mom's sleepy voice ring.
"Hi, mom its Ann."
"Ann what's new?" She asked trying to avoid the subject of Larry's gang.
"A friend and I are stopping by to find something out. Do you mind if we stay at the house?"
"No not at all."
"Tell me is it someone from the school?"
"Yea she's like two years older then me. She's straight A student and… cool. Don't tell the family we're coming. Okay?"
"Sure."
"Got to run the plain leaving we'll be there in three hours." I said and hung up. I walked over to Jean. "She'll send someone to pick us up at the airport."
"Cool… Ann look over there."
"It's the rest of the team trying to follow us! How did they get Mr. Login to come?"
"That's what I wanna know."
"Jean lets just get on the plain then they can't get us."
"Sure."
"Didn't we get the last two seats on the plain?"
"Sadly there are three left in couch. We got the last in 1st class." Jean told me.
"Cool. Lets go." I said walked to the terminal.
"ANN!!!!!! JEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP WE HAVE ONE LAST THING TO TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Scott was running after us so they could get to us. "ANN ITS ABOUT LARRY!!!!!!!" That made me stop.
"What is it Scott?" Jean said.
"Larry said to one reporter he did it because the only person to get close to him left. So he used her sword to take vengeances out on the school that she should be at." I was now whiter then a sheet. I was not sure if I wanted to go or not. I just wanted to die.
*Was this my fault? If it is should I go back? * Was all that was going threw my mind at this time. I was set that I had to get home but I didn't want the truth now. I just wanted my friends.
"Ann? Ann? Are you in there?" Curt was trying to get a reaction out of me.
"What? I'm fine. Lets go Jean before we miss the flight."
"Ann are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yea. Guys you can follow in the X Jet if you want to meet my friends and family. Just make it look like a 747 aircraft. Alright?"
"Sure."
"Jean can we send Login on the real 747 with Ann. Prof. Xavier has a weird feeling about the flight."
"Ann said that she would arrive with a girl not Login."
"Alright then can we send Rough with her."
"I think it would be best if I would go Scott." Jean said. "Any way we bought the tickets not Prof. Xavier so this is our thing. Alright?"
"Fine." He said. "Alright guys let's get to the jet. I'm flying."
"You always fly it." could be heard as they walked off out of the area.
"Come on Jean we have to get to the plain now!" The plain ride wasn't that bad, okay their was this asshole. okay I got into a small fight. I guess all those years fighting the bullys has payed off. Okay you got me, I broke his hand. One of his friends said that he was sorry about this. Other then that the plain ride went without a hitch.
"Right." Jean said grabbling her bag and walking over to me and we walked on together. We'll the movie was BioDome with Polly Short. A movie that both me and Jean HATE with a passion. At one point of the trip I made some ass hole who was conplaining shut the fuck up. okay I used phyics powers to make him sit down and shut up. The plain trip was uneventful.
Since all we had were our backpacks we just looked for my mom or some one I knew from home. Sure enough it was my mom with the big old 'Ann' sign.
