Another One Bites the Dust
Chapter Nine
Mystique watched Kitty, Evan, and Jean intently.
"Are you sure?" she asked. The cloaked figure glared at her.
"Why wouldn't I be sure? Now go!" Mystique nodded and entered the Institute. The cloaked figure promptly used some kind of mystical force to disable the alarm system.
Everything was still. At midnight, everyone except Kitty, Jean, and Evan were asleep. The recent hauntings were scaring them to death. They sat and thought about what had happened. Should they tell the Professor? They didn't think it was imporant enough. Of course a lot of things seemed unimportant before turned out to be the most important in the end. As Kitty sat in her room she was thinking this. She got up off her bed and headed to the Professor's room. He might be annoyed that I woke him up, but if it saves us all, who, like, cares? Kitty thought.
She turned a corner to the Professor's room, but just as she was about to open the door, Mystique appeared in front of it. Kitty froze.
"Hello, Kitty. Surprised at how I got in? If I were you, I wouldn't spend so much time thinking about it." She whispered.
"Why are you whispering? Don't you want to wake the Professor? If you do anything to me, I'll scream! He'll hear me and wake up! And he'll finish you off!" Kitty announced. Mystique growled. I could use some help here. A silencing technique would be nice. Outside, the cloaked mutant growled.
"Must I do everything for you?" he asked through telepathy.
The cloaked figure disappeared and reformed inside the Institute beside Mystique.
"Silence, chatty girl. You talk too much. Let's fix that." He walked up to her, Kitty still frozen in fear. She could see him chanting some sort of spell or something and her voice went away. It...faded. Just like that. She stared wide-eyed at Mystique and the cloaked figure.
"And just to make sure nobody else hears what we're going to do to you, here's something else. It'll put a complete silence on the entire mansion. No matter what is done, even the breaking of glass, nobody will hear it. Now..." And a flash temporarily engulfed the entire Institute. It soon faded. Kitty was just standing there, now backed up against the wall, scared out of her wits. And because of the silence that was cast over the Institute, he could yell and scream and bang on everything in sight, but nobody would hear a thing. She was really done in this time.
Mystique came forward with a shot gun in her hands. She knew that the extent of her mutant powers was to shape-shift. She couldn't do anything else. So, therefore, she needed something to use to attack Kitty. But still, Kitty had the power to phase through solid objects. She could just phase through the bullets. Unless....
The cloaked figure came forward again and put his hand on Mystique's shoulder as if to say 'wait a moment'. He chanted a few unheard words to himself and allowed Mystique to come forth once more. Mystique knew what he had done. He had disabled Kitty's powers. She couldn't phase through anything. Just as if she was a normal human being.
Mystique put the gun up to Kitty's head. She was stuck there, in a silent scream. The fear eating her alive. But seconds before Mystique pulled the trigger, Kitty moved. So instead of hitting her head like it was meant to, the bullet hit Kitty's left shoulder. She continued to fall to her left side, landing hard on her shoulder and screaming painfully, a scream that was also not heard. Mystique left with the cloaked figure to find Evan and Jean.
Kitty brought herself to her feet and stumbled over to the Professor's room, clutching her shoulder tightly. With the silencing spell still in effect, waking him up would be quite a challenge. A challenge Kitty was up to. She staggered over to Professor Xavier's bed, grabbed his shoulder and shook him with all her might in an effort to awake him. Surprisingly, he awoke and immediately realized what was going on (Gotta love that mind reading!!).
Relief flooded Kitty as she realized that maybe her friends wouldn't die after all. Maybe.
I hope that was good enough. Review plz. :]
