Chapter Nine
Blood Stained Door

The group of mutants rushed out of the secret passageway from the school hurriedly. A cold bitter wind enveloped the kids and many shivered since they only wore their pajamas. Some of the kids were crying with shock because of the men they had killed to fend themselves or their friends and others stood with a rather disappointed look that the fight was over.

Scott dragged a furious Rogue away from the doorway forcefully with a grim expression his face. He had at least brung the children away from danger. Logan would have to fend for himself, he had done that for the rest of his life. He worried for Jean and he bit his lips also in frustration at the thought that Jean may have not escaped.

"You BASTARD! Get away me! I said, GET AWAY!" Rogue screamed and Scott'slips curled angrily. Scott let go of Rogue and Rogue pushed him away from her with as much force she had with shoulder, since her gloves were gone from her hand. The kids in the secret doorway looked back at them but they were more worried about the soldiers and if they had tried to pry open the door from where they escaped.

"What did you expect me to do? We needed to escape! If you had gone to help that clawed idiot, you would have been caught!" Scott roared furiously, his special glasses glinting from the moonlight above. The small children ran towards the teenagers, huddling closer in fear at their teacher's anger towards Rogue.

"Logan is not a 'clawed idiot'! He is one of us! Just because you hate him and he is in the team does not mean you have the choice to throw away his life whenever you have the chance! Do you think he would have left you for dead if Logan was in your place?" Rogue shot back with a glare and Scott's lips pursued.

"YES! I do think he would have done the same!" Scott shouted with a growl. Rogue's glare deepened menacingly and this time answered, "Logan was carrying Cady! You might have left her to die with him as well!"

Then Rogue, fists clenched and eyes glimmering with tears, twisted her face away from Scott's angry face and turned her back at him with a muffled choke. She ran, tears slipping down her cheeks, away from Scott. She stopped, panting and lifted her face, eyes searching for comfort. She saw Jubilee and Kitty coming towards her and her wavering feet walked slowly towards them as well, step by step.

"Rogue, what happened? I don't understand! Where's Logan and Cady?"Kitty shouted confusedly as she hugged Rogue. Jubilee's sharp eyes observed Rogue's actions and her lips curled grimly at the thought she had now in her mind.

"Logan and Cady didn't get through, did they?" Jubilee guessed and Rogue nodded with a sob, putting her face on Kity's shoulder. Kitty gave a horrified gasp and patted Rogue, whispering as much comforting words as possible.

Bobby's eyes watched sadly at Rogue's form joining Jubilee and Kitty. He bit his lips, his heart filling with guilt. He could have done something, put up a icy guard on both sides so the men couldn't have caught Logan and Cady. But that trick required a large amount of energy and he had already used a lot of it earlier. It was partly his fault now that Rogue was crying, but Rogue didn't know that.

"Dude, you're feeling guilty, aren't you?" Pyro spoke with a grin plastered on his face. Bobby looked up at him with a rather mixed feeling and frowned at Pyro's bright grin. Why could he be grinning when they were just about going to get killed?

"How could you be happy when Logan and Cady could be captured of even killed?" Bobby spoke as he saw Pyro's grin wavering at the question. Pyro's grin slowly faded, replaced by a frown. Pyro took out his shark patterened lighter and his fingers flicked it on and off, on and off in a dull pattern that annoyed Bobby.

"I enjoyed it. And anyways, Logan's probably killing those men along with the other teachers. And Cady, she's a freak, and she can be dead for all I care!" Pyro spoke with a dangerous glimmer and before Bobby could answer he walked away, flicking the lighter back and forth in his hands, looking quite pleased with himself. Bobby looked at his friend suprised at his attitude. He had never spoken like that and the fact that he didn't care if Cady died made him angered and unnerved at the same time. He watched his friend's back with a deepening frown.


Cady's eyes opened with difficulty as her head banged painfully back and forth. She gave a silent gasp of fright as she tried to escape from the siler chains wrapped around her. But even more horrifying was Logan's state. He looked like he was shot, cut up and roughly treated without care. There was a deep cut on his shoulder that made Cady's eyes sting with tears and also make her feel interested how that bleeding cut had been made. She can actually feel the pain radiating out of Logan.

Her eyes searched frantically around the place she was in but she only got more confused at the rough, bumpy motion making her body move back and forth. She felt sick from the smell and at the bumpy motion from wherever she was.

She clenched her fists angrily and closed her eyes and concentrated on getting the chains off of her. Slowly she felt cold liquid wash off of her and the tightness of the chains that had once wrapped around her disappeared. She opened her bright, eerie eyes and she saw her body covered in silvery powder. She coughed and then the powder spread everywhere and then disappeared into the air.

Free from the bonds, Cady clambered over to Logan and touched the chains that also wrapped around him like a boa constrictor. Cady concentrated and she felt the touch of cold liquid on her fingers. She blew at the silvery powder and it disappeared like it had done before.

Logan's limp body slowly slid from the wall and dropped with a hard thud onto the ground. Logan gave a loud, painful groan as Cady shook at Logan's shoulder, the one that didn't have the deep cut. Logan groaned again and then suddenly his eyes snapped open and claws sprang out with a swift motion. A growl of anger escaped his lips as his eyes also slowly seemed to focus to see his claws penetrating into large, white wings that covered the person behind it.

Logan's eyes widened as he saw a familiar face from behind the wings. Horrified at what he had done, Logan quickly withdrew the claws from the winds and blood gushed out onto the once flawless wings, staining the white wings. A painful gasp escaped Cady's lips and tears of agony watered in her eyes as the wings disappeared in a flutter of red and white feathers and now it was Cady's turn to collapse onto the ground. She gave a choked scream as tears washed down her face.

"Oh my god... I'm sorry..." Logan whispered as he came closer towards Cady in a hurry to see the injury he had caused. Unlike the other time he had accidently stabbed Rogue, he saw a smudge of blood only on her back.

Cady crawled towards him and closed her eyes tightly, squeezing her fists as much as possible and the white wings burst from her back again and this time enveloped both Logan and Cady with bright light. A warm comforting sensation showered down on Logan and he felt his injuries heal faster that his healing powers. He also saw the injury he had accidently caused on Cady's wings disappeared as well. Cady then withdrew from Logan.

"Thank you..." Logan said, eyes wide with astonishment. Cady nodded, her once tear stained face now dried clean. She smiled weakly and then her eyes brightened with urgency as she pointed to the ground and Logan nodded. Cady looked up at the car they were in and with her eyes she blasted the door open. A rushing gust of wind blasted at the two of them as Cady grabbed Logan tightly and flew out of the car and outside towards the red sky of dawn.

Logan gave a shout of shock as Cady's huge, white wings burst open and thrust the two into the air. The strong gusts of wind ceased to be strong as the wings cut through them.

"Hold!" Cady shouted as she frantically held Logan in her grip. There was a screeching sound of tyres stopping on the road and both mutants turned to see the car, and the other cars that were following the car they had escaped from, stop on the road with flurry of gasoline smoke.

"It's getting away!" shouted a voice as men were getting out of the cars. Cady gave out a frightened yell as she desperately held Logan. She dodged aside a bullet whizzing for her and Logan as she heard Logan yell in warning. Cady turned her head at Logan questionably and she felt the unmistakable firing pain that sent a jolt through her body. She screamed and to Logan's horror, Cady let go.

Logan fell from the ground with a deep loud scream as he felt a painful crack of broken bones. He gave out an agonized scream as he heard Cady fall into the large clustering woods. He tried to get up but then three darts stabbed into his chest and he fell into darkness again.
