Author's Note: I felt that I should deal a little bit more with Kitty and give you guys a glimpse into Rogue's earlier attack. Enjoy!

Thursday 11:00 am

Kitty rolled out of bed and sighed. She was still stiff from the attack and her left arm hurt like hell. She was glad it wasn't broken but with all the other injured students, Hank hadn't been able to fully treat her. Still, it wasn't too big of a deal. Other people had been hurt worse than her and they deserved the medical attention. No, what hurt the most wasn't her arm, but her heart. She couldn't believe that one of her friends could just hurt so many people.

"No," Kitty mumbled. "That, like, wasn't Rogue." She ran her right hand through her brown hair and sighed. It hadn't been Rogue who had attacked. It had been a puppeteer that was using Rogue's body—a wolf in sheep's clothing. It hadn't been her best friend forever who had thrown her through the glass window on the second story. The brunette shut her eyes for just a second—

"Rogue, what—?" Kitty couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her best friend holding the Professor in her grip was preparing to stab him. "Stop!" Rogue turned to face her with Xavier still in her grasp and she smiled sinisterly. Kitty shuddered as she met her dark gaze.

"Kitty, run!" Xavier commanded in a clear voice and Rogue stuck her lower lip out in a pout.

"Now, now," She mumbled and Kitty noticed her accent was gone. What was up with that? "It's not nice to warn people away from the party." She laughed and Kitty felt herself freeze.

"Rogue, please," Kitty pleaded, forcing herself to take a step towards Rogue.

"Rogue?" She repeated. "I'm afraid she's stepped out."

Kitty came out of the memory with a gasp and tried to calm her pounding heart. It had all happened so fast after that. Rogue had dropped Xavier and then had thrown Kitty out of a window. Kitty stifled some tears and tried to make herself relax. It was over now. Everything was going to be fine.

But then, why did Kitty have this horrible feeling that things were only going to get worse from here?
