\Chapter 2

(Warren's POV)

I watched Shae walk back into the building with Storm, her wolf's tail twitching behind her. I forgot to breath and I only remembered to inhale when Logan hit me on the arm.

"What was that for?" I asked rubbing my stinging limb. I wasn't over reacting, it really did hurt.

"Stop staring," he said gruffly and I flushed a dazzling shade of red. Kurt started to laugh and he hung his arm around mine as he chuckled.

"Unser kleiner Freund hat ein Gedränge," Logan and I looked at him puzzled and he translated, "Our little friend has a crush," and this time Logan laughed with him.

"I'm not little," I muttered but I didn't deny anything about me liking Shae.

"Compared to me kid, you're a baby," smiled Logan and ruffled my hair, "you only, what 15?"

"I'm 19, thank you," I huffed and stormed off, their laughter still echoed into the night air.

I so wanted to pull off my coat and extend my wing, but I resisted the urge, I had a test on Monday and I still needed to study because I still didn't understand. I marched up to my room and shut the door. Luckily when you turn 18 here, you get your own room. I took off the jacket and I took off the shirt I was wearing with ease (they had been made for me, with Velcro down the back so I could get them around my wings).

I plunked down on a stool at my desk and opened the calculus book, in about 4 seconds I conked out.

.

I woke with a start from a dream but now that I was awake I couldn't remember anything about it. I sat up and looked around the room and then down at the desk I was sitting at; I had drooled on my note book. I stretched my arms and my wings spread out behind me, the tips almost touching the walls.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 3 in the morning. My stomach growled, and I stood. Now that I was up, I might as well get food. Opening the door, made it apparent that I would not be meting anyone on my little excursion to the kitchen, so I left; wearing only my jeans.

My arms swung lazily at my sides as I ambled down the deserted halls. I found myself humming when I finally reached a kitchen. I pushed open the door and almost had a heart attack. Someone was in there and it took me of guard.

"AHH!" I screeched and fell backwards.

"Oh, god! I'm so sorry," the person reached out a hand and I was hit with realisation because the hand was covered in fur. I took it and Shae hauled me up. "I'm sorry," she apologised again, "I keep forgetting that people aren't really used to me prowling around at night," she smiled at me and I noticed extended canine teeth.

"No it's my fault, I didn't expect anyone to be up now," I reached behind my head and scratched my neck. She was at least 3 feet shorter then me, only coming up to my chest and that's when I suddenly realised that I was 'sans' shirt. I crossed my arms over my torso.

"I'm guessing that you came to get food," she moved and I nodded thankfully at her. When I turned back from the fridge she was sitting down at the table with a glass of orange juice, she sipped it and gestured to the seat across from her. I took my yogurt and water with me and sat down.

"I love your wings," she said out of no where and I choked on the water I was drinking. I coughed and my eyes watered but a few seconds went by and I could breathe again. I looked up and saw that she was blushing. "Sorry, I didn't mean to kill you or anything, its just… I don't know. I guess I would love to have wings or something like that…" she trailed off.

"No, its okay, you just caught me by surprise," I was vividly aware of my wings twitching behind me and her eyes on my reddened face. "I used to, uh, hate them. When I was a kid," I chewed on the inside of my cheek.

"I don't see why, their beautiful," she was blunt and it made me blush more.

"My dad," I said simply.

She made a small 'oh' sound and turned away from me and looked behind her. I suddenly felt jealous towards whatever had stolen her attention from me. She looked back and I blushed again. "So how many people are at this school?" she changed the subject and I was thankful for that.

"I think around 25 or 30, not a lot of kids really. But I guess it varies," I shrugged and took another mouthful of water. She seamed to contemplate this for a moment.

"What grade are you in?" she asked.

"Umm prepping for university, and I'm going to take the university courses here," I shifted and ran my fingers through my hair.

"I'm going to do the same, after I'm done high school," she smiled at me and I'm pretty sure I melted into a puddle on the floor.

She suddenly stood and yawned, "I think I'll try to get some sleep or at the very lest stare at the ceiling in till morning," she grinned at me and turned, giving me a nice view of her sweat pant the road low on her hips, her tail peaking out. "Night," she called over her shoulder.

I called a feeble 'night' back but she was already gone. God, between her and my shy nature, I was going to die.

(Shae' POV)

I swung my hips a little more then I normally did as I left the kitchen, Warren's half naked body imprinted onto the insides of my eyelids. His mussels where not like Logan's –huge and sharply angled- they where soft, well defended. His chest looked soft and warm, with a light trail of hair from his navel, disappearing below the waist line of his jeans. But his most amazing feature was his wings.

My tail twirled circles around my hand and I trotted back to my room. I normally only sleep about 2 hours every night –I had already slept for more then that- and the only reason I left the kitchen was to stop myself from jumping him.

Half way back I changed my mind and wandered off. I looked around the dark mansion and found the Library. I flicked on a reading lamp and meandered down the shelves looking for something that could occupy me for the rest of the night, in till breakfast. I searched till I found a graphic novel that looked expectable.

7 graphic novels later, I could hear kids rising and waking up. So I decided to find the dinning room and hopefully there would be other people there.

I emerged from the library and scared the crap out of some sleepy younger students. I guess they didn't expect any one to come out of the library at 8 in the morning on a Saturday.

I walked around them and purposely brushed my tail across the face of the littlest one –a little girl, maybe 8 years old- they giggled and moved off towards a TV room from what I could heed. I found a kitchen and make my way in.

"Good morning," I called on the off chance that anyone was in there and I was greeted by 5 drowsy but cheery faces.

"Morning," grunted a brown haired boy.

"I'm Rogue," the southern girl from the bar, "and this is Bobby."

"I'm kitty," a cute girl with a hug smile shook my hand.

"Piotr or Pete," a hug guy, with a thick Russian accent introduced himself.

"Shae," I told them and snatched a cup from the cabinet and filled it with water. "So what's for breakfast?" I asked as I closed the fridge door with my foot.

"What ever you can find in the kitchen really," answered Bobby. I searched the shelves and found nothing, but when I looked in the fridge I found something that was just right.

I took out the hunk of raw meat and plopped it into a bowl. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy when I put it in to the microwave and set it to 5 mins. I turned back to explain, "I have wolf DNA mixed in with mine, so I have 'wolfish' tendencies, like raw meat and I don't sleep as much as other people. It's weird I know, but a girl needs to eat."

My food beeped and I dug in. It didn't take me long to finish, and to tell the truth, I had slowed myself down for fear of scaring my new friends.

"Good morning all. Shae, I see you've met almost everyone," I twisted 'round to see Storm, a coffee cup in her hand. "I want you guys to show Shae down to the Danger Room at 8:45 so she can watch and get acquainted with everything," she informed the others and they all nodded, then she left.

I sat and cocked my eyebrow at Kitty, "Danger room?" I asked.

"Oh, right! I totally forgot that you don't know what the Danger room is! It's a training room down in the lower floors. It tests your powers and stuff like that," answered kitty.

"Speaking of powers; what's yours?"

"I can become intangible and got through things," Kitty smiled brightly and demonstrated by placing her hand through Bobby's head. "My code name is shadowcat," she informed me.

"I can make and control ice, and they call me iceman," Bobby illustrated his power by creating an ice rose.

"I'm just a plain human now, but I use to take others powers or life force when I touched them," Rogue said it a little sadly, like the power held awful memories.

"I turn into, solid organic steel, and I'm called Colossus," Pete was abruptly silver.

"You powers are all a lot cooler then mine. I destroy countless outfits when ever I faze, I eat raw meat, only sleep for like 2 hours and am half a wolf," I complained.

"I think it would be awesome, to be a wolf. You could run every where! No need to pay for bus fair," Rogue joked and we all laughed together.

Once we had settled down, we remembered the time and went flying out of the room, as to not be late.

1 trip down an awesome elevator, and about 5 minuets of running, we where still 10 minuets behind.

"Sorry, Storm. Lost track of time," puffed Pete as we all tried to catch our breaths.

"Its okay, at least you guy are here. Now Shae, I want you up in the control room with me for the first round and then we'll see what you can do," Storm steered me to a large room with panels on all walls. Storm sat and spoke into a microphone, "Okay, in 3… 2… 1," and she pressed a button and the Danger room transformed before my eyes. Where an empty gray room once stood there was now a snow storm.

I watched them wiz around the room fighting unseen dangers in the snow. Only a few moments later, the tempest vanished, it seamed like they where done.

"You ready for your turn?" questioned Storm.

"You bet!" I went out into the hall way and Kitty got me a uniform. I pulled it on –after making a few adjustments with a par of scissors- I was ready. I strode out into the middle of the room and Storm's voice spoke from the speakers around the room.

"Okay Shae, I want you to defeat what ever opponent that faces you. If it gets to much just holler," I nodded and my surroundings changed into a clouded field.

I rotated on the spot, my ears straining to hear something. And I did, a huge man with an even bigger gun stepped in front of me and I let out a feral growl, my ears laid back against my scull and my tail stopped moving.

I leaped swiftly and shredded my outfit as I transformed, using all my power to propel myself forward at the man. He knocked me aside with his gun and I went flying and hit a tree. I stood and shook myself off.

I kept jumping and he kept deflecting me, I was starting to get fed up. I charged but this time he raised his gum and shot. I stopped in my tracks and ducked but the bullet grazed my shoulder anyway. I howled in pain but got to my feet all the same. I attacked and felt a warm tingling spread over my body, a blinding light flashed and I fell to the ground, the Danger room was the same again.

I reverted back into human and I lay on my side, with my tail curled around me. A door opened to my left and running feet made there way to me. I rolled over, and looked at Warren. I would have blushed because nothing covered my breasts but the pain was too much and I fell to the ground again. He ran faster to me and pulled my head on to his lap.

"Hey," I breathed. "How did I do?"

"You bet it and killed the guy," he told me as he inspected my shoulder and lifted me up.

"Serves him right, stupid bustard…" I trailed off and fell unconscious.
