Chapter 6
Alika
The group reappeared moments later, right outside of the house they had just been in. The three strangers quickly released their hold on Logan's jacket when they heard him growl.
Beta, still shocked from the events that had just happened, didn't let go, but instead held on tighter. Logan looked down at her and gently pried her fingers off of his arm. "Kid, Beta, right?" Logan paused as she nodded, "You can let go now."
"Oh, sorry." Beta walked over to her sister, who picked her up and started to walk towards the road. She felt as though they were being watched by someone in the nearby woods that sat at the edge of the small yard. She walked carefully away, her full attention on the woods.
She felt a hand on her shoulder as Logan said, "Hey kid, where are you going?"
"New York."
"What, do you plan on walking there?"
"Well, unless you have a better idea, then yes," Ally huffed.
"Well, why don't you come with us," a new and perky voice asked right behind her.
Ally jumped and turned around quickly. The owner of the voice was the girl that could walk through walls. Ally raised an eyebrow in question.
The girl seemed to get the message and said, "Oh, my bad. My name is Katherine Pryde, but everyone calls me Kitty, and the blue one is Kurt, and the other boy is Bobby." Kitty then looked expectantly at her.
"I'm Alika Logan, but everyone just calls me Ally, and this is my little sister, Beta, or Bets," Ally tells her, still a little wary. She stiffened as she heard the crunching of underbrush underfoot. She peered into the woods, and could just barely make out a figure before Logan growled and charged it.
The figure retreated a couple of yards, but didn't disappear completely into the dark. Logan stopped just short of the figure and said something. Ally strained her ears to hear what they were saying.
"What do you want with the kids, Creed," Logan's low menacing growl crept across the dark yard.
"What, Jimmy, I can't go visit my nieces every once in a while?" came the mocking reply.
Nieces? Her mother had told her she was an only child. There was no way it was possible for- wait, unless… no. That was impossible. The ground seemed to sway beneath her feet, and black dots danced across her vision. Her mind and body had already been having trouble with the evening's events, and this was the last straw. She was over stressed, and her mind made the executive decision to shut down.
The last thing she heard before she blacked out was a shriek as her sister fell to the ground seconds before she did.
A/N: short chapter, but we are getting closer to the characters realizing the thing that was given away in the summary. Thanks for the reviews!
