Melody and Savagery Chapter 11, a x-men: the movie fanfic

It had been over a month since that night and true to her word she said nothing to him…literally, nothing he did or say could get her say anything to him and it was beginning to drive him mad, at least she would say something to him before but now…nothing.

She acted like he didn't exist, she would wake up, take a shower, get dressed and leave all without even taking a glance towards him.

The only way he could even hear her voice was when she was talking to other people or when she was teaching.

He was trying to convince himself that she was just being stubborn at first but now? He was having a constant quarrel with his inner beast who wanted to try and win her back, but he was being stubborn…he would not…apologise.

That afternoon he was currently thinking not moping about how to get her when he smelt Logan approaching.

"c'mon creed, quit moping and follow me," he said causing him to snarl at him, he was NOT moping.

"and where Logan, would we be going to," he said with an air of sarcasm.

"come with me and find out," Logan said as he turned and walked away.

Victor's eyes narrowed as he got up and followed Logan to the garden, maybe the work would take his mind off her.

Aria walked out of the building with a sigh, it was lunch time and she decided to spend it in the garden, Ororo had suggested she take the time to herself since she had another class right after, so after eating her lunch, she decided to get some sunshine in the garden since the weather had begun to warm up signifying the coming of spring.

Finding a suitable place to sit which was under a large tree, she spread out her scarf before sitting and then she closed her eyes as she leant on the tree, the cool breeze prevented her from falling asleep but it was still relaxing.

But then she heard something which caused to slowly open her eyes, where she was meet with the sight of Logan and victor working at uprooting some trees from the garden, taking a closer look she could see that the trees were dead anyway, so she could understand why they were removing them.

She watched as they cut the roots with just their claws which was a little scary, but what happened next…well if she had a drink she would either choke or spit take.

She watched as victor finished slashing the roots then he picked up the tree or to be more specific…he ripped the tree out of the ground and then threw the tree at least 50 feet away from them. She could feel the shock from the impact of the tree on the ground which caused her to give a little shriek which she prayed he didn't hear because she had quickly learnt that he had very sensitive hearing.

But when she did, she watched him turn towards her and with speed she didn't think was humanly possible he was now right in front of her.

Making a sound that she could only call a purr, he looked over her as she avoided his gaze.

"did I scare you kitten?" he asked as he stroked her hair, he didn't know what it was about it but he loved the feel of it.

"…"

"I can hear your heart racing you know"

"…"

Comfort mate, he heard causing him to growl.

Aria sighed as she felt him stroke her hair, she didn't under why he loved her hair but she wished he would stop.

"alright victor leave the girl alone, she has class," Logan said as he came closer causing aria to quickly pack up her stuff and run inside the school.

"hmm, guess she still isn't talking to you," Logan said causing victor to growl.

"c'mon we still have work to do," he said as he walked away from him.

Victor didn't understand, why was her silence so...upsetting to him.

Aria watched as the last students left her class, the new music room was now empty leaving her with just her thoughts, but then there was a knock at the door.

"come in," she said as the door revealed kitty, Marie (rouge) and a few other teens.

"oh, hello guys," she said with a smile.

"hey, miss aria we have a huge favour to ask," kitty said causing her to raise her brow.

"and that would be?"

"well…we told the professor that we would like to show what we have learnt since you have been here, so we decided to have a little…performance this evening after dinner"

"that sounds cool…I can't wait to hear you guys" she said but then she saw the looks on their faces and felt a cold shiver go down her spine.

"well…that's where the favour comes in" kitty said as they all put on a smile.

Ororo walked down the hall looking for her friend, she knew aria was done for the day…so, where was she?

"NO!" she heard as she saw aria run down the hall with the group of teens chase after her.

"grab her" she heard rouge say as they closed in on her and quickly moved in to capture her.

"we got her men, quickly back to the music room" Ororo heard her nephew Evan say as they led aria back to the music room, but not before running into her.

"what is going on here?" she asked the group.

"we have a deal with miss aria and now she has to pay up," kitty said.

"Ororo! A little help here?!" aria said with a pout.

"and what this deal," Ororo asked with a raised brow.

"that if we caught her, she has to perform with us this evening at dinner"

"really?" Ororo said with a smile as she turned to aria "can't wait to hear you tonight aria" she said as she walked away to aria's dismay.

"I can't believe this" aria said as she was dragged away by the laughing teens. Ororo giggled as she walked away but then she ran into hank who saw everything.

"are you sure you don't want to help her," he asked with a smile.

"what for, it's for her own good," she said as they both shared a laugh, walking down the hallway.

The day went smoothly and soon it was time for dinner which aria helped with but as soon as she was done, the teen group came and took her away. As soon as they were done, they all went to the lecture theatre, Logan, hank and the rest of the teachers were scattered around the children to keep them quiet.

Then kitty came out with a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming tonight, it's been a month since we have had our new music teacher, so we decided to showcase what she has taught tonight with…. a little bit of her help, so without further a due let's go on with the show"

The crowd cheered as she walked backstage and the lights went down. First, a few of the younger students came out and sang a few songs causing everyone to awe at them, but then the lights came down and kitty's voice came over the PA system.

"ladies and gentlemen, we hope you have enjoyed our little presentation but now for our grand finale, we have an A Capella presentation, enjoy," she said to their applause, the light stayed down, the room dark, and then the melody started.

"Many times, I tried to tell you
Many times I cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time to give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind"

(The lights come back on and by this time the crowd were cheering for the siren that was their teacher, while the girls provided the harmonies and the boys the beat)

"We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together"

(Logan looked up at what have been a dark corner, but he could see the two glowing eyes that stood right by the door)

"Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together"

(at this point they had a would have been an instrumental bridge except it was all done by their voices)

"Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best to try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it, how much we really care
I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere
Still, you say"

(they took the next chorus with no beat which caused the crowds the cheer, the two glowing eyes narrowed as he watched her sing with the purest smile on her face, she looked so happy and that made his inner beast purr"

The crowd went wild as they finished and they took their bows and headed backstage and the lights came back on. Logan looked to the corner but he was gone.

"huh go figure," Logan said as he watched the children leave as it was now time for bed, so he joined them since he had nothing else to do.

Aria waited till everyone was gone before she left the room, singing wasn't the problem it was the aftermath that she couldn't deal with.

Looking out at the empty room and seeing that it was empty, she decided to leave so she walked out and made her way to her room, but once she got through the door, she saw that the bed was fully occupied by victor who was dressed in only his boxers.

So, she walked over and got her pj's, went into the bathroom and performed her night time routine before walking over to the bed and laid on her side, but then he turned to her side and pulled her into his chest before wrapping his arms around her.

Aria stiffened as she felt him nuzzle her hair before she heard him say.

"mate sound beautiful" he purred into her ear, causing her to seize up, she hadn't spoken to him in over a month since that of which, Uriah had been busy working so she hadn't seen him in a while, but they were always texting when they had the time.

"but mate is tired, so sleep" he purred as she blinked in surprise, what was wrong with him and why was he acting like this? She thought as she turned to face him and was meet with a bit of a shock…his amber eyes had narrowed so they were cat-like.

I'm not even going to ask, she thought as she reached over and turned off the lamp and went to sleep.

Victor watched aria sleep but then he heard a roar in his head.

Let me out of here, he roared but his beast just laughed.

no, you hurt mate, he replied but then the roar became louder.

you listen to me…he heard but he simply replied.

No, you come back in morning, he replied as he closed his eyes and went to sleep with his mate safely in his arms.

Aria woke up early that morning, buried into his warm side she looked up and saw he was fast asleep, so she decided to start her day early as she wiggled out of his arms and made her way to the bathroom to get ready. She finished her shower and came out in her bathrobe as she got dressed in a grey and black t-shirt dress and black leggings before moving on to her hair which she put up into large bun and a white bow on the top, she decided not to wear makeup that day so she put on her slippers and made her way to the kitchen.

"guess the sun isn't up yet," she said as she looked up at the window, so she decided on a weird impulse to bake something so she decided to make some cinnamon buns.

Logan was already up as he took a walk around the grounds, upon re-entry to the mansion, he smelt the warm, sweet smell of cinnamon so he decided to follow it, only to be met with the sight of aria rolling the dough as she had just placed one tray into the oven and was making the second batch which she was about to put in as soon as the first was done which it nearly was.

"smells good," he said as he came in causing her to look up.

"oh…good morning Logan," she said with a smile "would you like some coffee," she asked as he took a seat.

"sure. Black no sugar" he replied as she made it.

"here you go," she said as she placed the hot mug in front of him.

"thanks," he said as he took a sip…it was good.

"would you like a roll as well," she said as she opened the oven and pulled out the hot buns.

"sure but no icing please," he said as she placed the plate in front of him "thank you," he said as he continued to enjoy the roll with his coffee.

"still not talking to victor" she heard him ask as she finished spreading the sugar and cinnamon in the dough and had begun to roll the dough up before cutting it.

"don't have anything to say to him" she replied as she placed the rolls on the baking tray.

"hmm…go figure" he replied before taking another sip.

"hey Logan…" she said causing him to look up "you've known victor longer that I have…just out of curiosity…what is he like normally"

"you want the kiddie version or the grown-up version," he said causing her eyes to widen.

"how about the kiddie version for now," she said as she peeked into the oven to check on the buns.

"he's a bad man aria…a really bad man, I can't begin to tell you everything he's done, he's cruel, ruthless, unforgiving and feral, I try to control my inner monster but he became it" he said causing her to take a seat in front of him as she listened.

"he's worked for people who hate on humans, who believe that mutants are superior to humans, he stood for everything that we are against," Logan said as she listened.

"but I do have to say…ever since you have been ignoring him, I could almost swear that he's going mad at the fact"

"really?" she said as she got up and removed the buns from the oven.

"yeah," he said as he got up with his bun but then he turned back.

"listen to me aria, I have no love towards that bastard but if being around you can screw his sick head on right…then I have no complaints" he said as he walked away.

Aria sighed as she continued to ice the rest of the buns before writing a note and leaving the kitchen.

Victor woke up with an irritating headache which caused him to rub his head with a growl.

What the hell were you thinking, he growled when he heard the taunting laugh.

You hurt mate, I tried to make mate happy, he heard causing him to growl.

Stay out of this, he replied as he tried to get up but then the headache came back.

NO! she is my mate as well, he heard you have hurt our mate, I want her back, he heard as he walked out of the room and into the bathroom to take a shower.

Once he was done, he dressed simply in a black wife beater and black pants and went to go and look for his mate, since he had no recollection of her leaving him that morning.

He followed her scent to the kitchen, where he was met by both her and Logan's scent which caused him to growl but then he saw him her not right beside the sweet treats which he picked up.

Good morning, as a thank you for yesterday, please enjoy these buns I made. Love aria

Looking at the plate, he decided to take one which he finished in two bites, it was good and he wasn't fond of sweets but he liked these.

After he was done, he went to go and look for her following her scent, but something was wrong with her scent, it smelt weird which caused him to unconsciously increase his pace until he reached the music room and slammed the door opened.

Ororo and Hank were in the kitchen enjoying a bun each when they heard, the most blood-curdling roar from the hallway, it wasn't the sound that caused her heart to drop but what he said.

"Aria!"
