A/N - Should I let you in on the secret?? *thinks, then grins mischievously* Nope, wait a little longer!! I'll give you a clue. It's not LOGAN, ORORO, HANK, MAGNETO, MYSTIQUE, or XAVIER. Btw, no accents or valley girl talk or "yo's" in this fic to help you decide! But that doesn't mean that one of them are a choice…

Chapter Two

A figure scurried around, looking for his comrade. "Damn, where could he be?" was murmured under the breath of the worried mutant. Ever since she had died, he had completely changed. He remained locked up in his room, he never went to school, he was silent.

All of his friends had been begging him to get over it, but he seemingly was determined not to. Everyone had said, "Give him time." But it was nearly a month later, and he hadn't changed. Now, he was gone, and who knew what he was planning.

The teen hurried for the phone booth. He had arranged for them to call him fifteen minutes after he left at the Main Street phone booth. Right on time, the telephone rang. He grabbed it. "Hello? This-"

He was interrupted. "He took a knife. Find him before he kills himself. Hurry! We gotta go… You know, that memorial thing. Meet us there once you find him." With that, she hung up. The boy rolled his eyes. They could at least give him a little warning.

He continued searching, scanning all the usual places that he would be. Then, it hit him. The cemetery! He ran as fast as he could, praying that he would not arrive too late.

He arrived, gasping and out of breath. Geez, he usually never ran that fast. Then, he remembered and ran straight through the graveyard, seeking out the grave he wanted. Upon arriving, he gasped and felt a chill run up his spine.

His friend was lying atop the grave, in a pool of dark blood, the knife still clutched in his hand. Judging from the wounds and the blood, it was a painful but relatively swift death. "Oh, why… I told you she wasn't worth it… Oh, why'd you have to go and die on me…"

Unable to look at his friend any longer, he ran as fast as he could, as far as he could.

At the memorial service, consisting of mutants, all was quiet. They were awaiting the arrival of the two missing mutants. The door suddenly opened. "Oh god, oh god, he's dead… He's dead!! He killed himself!! God, she wasn't worth that!" The poor mutant who had stumbled on his friend was close to tears.

The girl who had made the telephone call tried to comfort him. "Chill, at least he's happy now. " The others nodded in agreement.

But the boy refused to let it go. "Hey!! What if he never gets to see her again!! That's why he died!"

A girl seated nearby nodded as well. "Then, at least he won't suffer because she isn't with him. He'll find her, and I'm sure they'll be happy. But who killed her? Why would they kill her? She had everything going for her."

Her killer, who sat in that very room thought to himself evilly, "If she wouldn't love me, than it's just as well she died. As for him? He deserved it."
