A/N: Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting. My course is kinda killing me, so it was a bit hard to manage studying and writing stories at the same time. So here's what happened next...


She was running, the darkness was after her again. She ran and ran, and stopping was never an option for her. Where she's headed, she doesn't know; all that's on her head by then is that she could never let it catch her. The place seems familiar to her; of course, how could she even forget the place where she grew up, Xavier's mansion. But something's wrong, no, everything's wrong. It's destroyed. Who's responsible for this? Who could have done such thing? Kitty looked at the rubble of the once beautiful place for her. No one's around, but a horrible sight sent shivers to her bones. Her students lying on the destroyed floors, dead. Blood stained the remnants of what used to be the walls and foundations of the building. She ran outside and saw a greater destruction. Gun fires and explosions could be heard from afar. Fire engulfed the once beautiful suburbs where the mansion stood. Screams of terror and blood soaked pavements, what's going on around here? She walked a few steps away from what used to be the gates of the mansion, until she stumbled upon something. It was her friends' corpses lying on the blood covered street. She tried to scream, but no sound came out of her mouth. Logan, Jean, Professor Charles, Storm and even her friends Rogue, John, Bobby, and Piotr were all dead.

"They pretty much deserve that" a woman's voice said from behind. Kitty turned around only to find that it was the woman she saw in her previous dream and in the elevator, "That's what will happen to all of them; for opposing us."

"What did you do?" Kitty shouted, her fists clenched. But the woman just laughed. It was that laugh that sent shivers right through her bones. The laugh that she heard in the times that she was scared the most.

"What did I do?" the woman smirked, "I think you should ask that to yourself."

Kitty was confused to what the woman in front just said, until she had a glimpse of her hands; her bloody hands. Was she responsible for their death? But how? She could never do such thing. She felt her whole body tremble until her knees dropped on the cold cement. The woman walked towards her and laughed at her.

"Do you see what the two of us are capable of now? Like what I've told you before...I am you" she chuckled. The woman rested her hand on Kitty's shoulder and disappeared. The brunette cannot handle the fear anymore of the surreal things her eyes saw.


Kitty Pryde was awoken by the loud ringing of her phone. Who would be calling her this early? She reached for her phone over the nightstand and swiped the screen to answer without even checking who it was. She didn't even managed to open her eyes. It was Seth.

Kitty?

"What is it Seth?"

Would you mind escorting me inside again, still not used to this whole teaching thing.

"What? Why are you here so early? It's only...oh my god! Okay, wait a moment I'll be there in a while."

It was already 7:00 am and classes will start in an hour and she still have to take a bath, fix her things and eat breakfast. Kitty quickly ran for her bathroom and bathed. Afterward, she put on clothes, but she suddenly had a great distaste for the clothes she had to wear. She tossed it away and looked for something livelier. She grabbed a skinny jeans and started deciding between the two blouses she had in her closet.

"Would it be the purple or the green one?" she then realized that she was in a hurry, so screw the color she chose to wear the green long-sleeve blouse. She swiftly combed her hair and allowed the slight curls of her hair flow. She brushed a few hints of make-up on her face then fixed her stuff. Why does she feel so different today? Kitty checked the time and it's only 7:30 am. She decided to use the wedges Rogue gave her last Christmas then headed out.

Everyone's eyes trailed after her as she walked down the hall. Some saying 'Who's that?' or 'Is that Professor Pryde? Man, she's gorgeous'. She beamed them a lovely smile as she headed for the door, but before she reached the end of the hallway, she ran across someone she didn't want to see.

Bobby was awestruck upon seeing Kitty looking so different. Not a "bad" different, but a "drop-dead-gorgeous" different, "Kitty?"

Kitty didn't respond, she did not even made any eye contact with him as if she doesn't know him. Well, maybe because she don't want to see him after what happened last night


[Yesterday]

"Kitty, we need to talk" the voice of Bobby greeted her upon entering the gates. He followed Kitty and Seth all day. Silently hating Kitty's friend and glaring every once in a while.

"About what?" Kitty quite baffled about the unusual tone of Bobby's voice.

"About that guy you're with the whole day" his voice was a bit tensed, but he tried to keep it firm

"Seth? What's with him?" a cold aura started to emanate from Bobby again this made Kitty think of what could possibly the problem be. And she was right, Bobby began to question him why is she hanging out with him, how did they met, why did she trusted him that easy. Kitty started to get annoyed with him. What the heck is his problem? Why is he so angry at her? He shouldn't be lecturing her what to do. He should be with Rogue and make things up.

"Are you telling me to stop hanging out with him? Bobby, who do you think you are to tell me what to do? If there is one thing that you should be doing at this moment, it's making things up with Rogue" Kitty walked back to the mansion and left Bobby standing by the gates.

"Kitty, I love you" Kitty froze to what he just said. Did just said that he loves her? Probably as a friend, but why does he sound so sincere? "I love you Katherine Pryde, I love you more than anything else. I don't know how, and I know it's weird because I'm with Rogue. Believe me Kit I tried to fight this feeling, but I really can't help it."

Bobby walked closer to him and held her hands. His mesmerizing blue eyes stared at her as his grip tightened. Kitty wanted to give in to the surreal moments she was in. Would she say she loves him too? And she dreamed so long for him to say that to her? No. She wanted to do what is right. She clearly knows that Bobby's with Rogue and it would cause her friend's devastation if she would tell Bobby that she loves him too.

Kitty quickly jerked her hand and took a few steps back, "Bobby, no. You cannot love me ever. You're with Rogue, and if there's anything that I would not want in the world; it's hurting my friends. What happened between the two of us was a huge mistake. Believe me, God knows how much I've hated myself each time it happened."

Kitty turned around and left Bobby alone. She has no plans of turning back because she knows that she will grow weak and might throw her arms around him. "By the way, please don't look at Seth as if he's going to harm me. He's my friend too, keep that in mind."


Kitty brushed pass Bobby and the other students that were blocking her path. She headed straight for the door and didn't bother looking at her best friend even though it shattered her heart. She saw Seth waiting at the gates and quickly ran to open it up for him.

"You know, you should probably get used to going inside" she raised her brow as the new professor entered. Kitty immediately closed the gates and walked side by side with Seth to the mansion.

"You don't want to escort me inside" Seth replied with a playful pout on his face.

"No. I mean, you should probably start to get used to going inside by yourself because you're now welcome here." Kitty chuckled, "Anyway, did you have your breakfast already?"

"Not yet. I actually woke up late, kinda got used to the 'no job' thing" he glanced at her and started to notice something unusual about Kitty, "You look different."

"What do you mean different?" Kitty glanced at him as they took the stairs towards the mansion doors.

"Well, compare to yesterday...hmm...you're a bit taller" Kitty glared at him for saying that. She playfully pushed him and he immediately pushed her back. They reached the door, "After you."

"Thank you" Kitty smiled at the gentleman in front of her. Bobby was in the foyer gazing suspiciously at the two of them. What's his problem this time? Hasn't she told her to stop doing that? "Seth, let's go to the kitchen. We barely have time to eat."

Kitty pulled Seth to the kitchen and ate breakfast before she dragged him to Professor Xavier's office to fix his schedule. His schedule was the schedule of Kitty and Bobby's Calculus classes, so Kitty just helped him out in finding where his classes are.

In the first class of Seth, he was introduced by Kitty it could have been the Professor's job, but Kitty insisted on doing it instead. Some female students giggled because of the good-looking new professor who'll be teaching them Math, and the other students teased Kitty and Seth to be lovers. By lunchtime, the two ate together and talked about the rest of the schedule and shared some good laugh at the same time. They did not even noticed the icy blue eyes that glared at the two of them.

"Can you go on your own now?" Kitty asked after telling Seth where his last class for the day is.

"Yeah probably" Seth glanced at her then trailed his eyes back to he piece of paper in front of him. They continued eating their lunch together as an irritated Bobby continued staring maliciously at them. Kitty began to notice him and he instantly turned away. The room was filled with silence, not long enough before a sharp wave of pain penetrated Kitty's head. She pushed the plate in front of her as her head fell on the glass table. Not again. Seth and Bobby rushed on her side asking her if she's alright. Her eyes began to switch colors and the appliances began to flicker on and off. What's happening? The pain then subsided and the two quickly prompted her to her seat.

"Hey, you okay?" Seth quite baffled asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay now. Just one of those headaches that have been bugging me for days now" Kitty explained as she tried to catch her breath. Bobby handed a glass of water to her and she quickly drank it. What just happened? Is she mutating again? None of them still knows about the great power locked inside Kitty. She finally recovered from the short wave of headache she experienced, so the two were quite relieved.

After they ate, Kitty grabbed Seth's arm and pulled him out of the kitchen to his next class.


A/N: Next update will be on Thursday (hopefully, if my Calculus test would turn out fine). There may be some more grammar mistakes because the checker I found has this "premium" version, which asks for I think $12.00 per month. I'm going broke, so please just bear with it :D Review!
