Chapter Eleven

Survival of the Fittest

In the middle of the woods, a girl desperately dragged herself farther inside, pulling her right limp leg. Her eyes were fearful as she kept looking back at her shoulder. Bright white wings had grown out of her back, making her look like a angel. Except to the eyes of the humans, she was no more than a ugly mutant, a being that was certainly not human.

The girl panted back and forth as she tried her best at flying. It carried her halfway, but soon failed on her. She collapsed onto the ground, her hair tangling as she attempted to get up. She succeded but only half way as she leaned onto a nearby tree behind her back. Her panting continued as she let tears flow freely from her eyes.

"Wolvie... Cady Sorry..." she whispered as she pulled out her silver necklace and tugged hard. The chain came off in her grip as she spat at it, her eyes burning disgustedly. Wiping off her fingerprints as best she can, she dug a hole in the dirt and tossed it inside, throwing the earth on top of it so she will never have to see it ever again.

Cady was tired, really tired. Her shoulders were sagging, and her breath rash as her heart thumped hard. For some reason, the black men had finally stopped chasing her. It would have been odd, in these circumstances, but it was probably because she had scared them. Cady was good at meeting people, but what all the X-men did not know was that she was good at frightening people as well. zHer eyes glowed slightly as she felt her soft white wings disappear into her back, the feathers falling onto the dirt ground.

"Must... Find..." Cady began but her breathing cut off what she was about to say. Getting up, she continued to struggle her way up the woods, trying to find her way to the people who had made her accepted her as one of their kind.

The X-Men, or some of what's left of the members, had gone in search of the teachers and students who were left behind in the Mansion, staying very cautious of the Black Men who had attacked them, as well as trying to find a way out of the forest. All of the students had fallen silent, shivering from the cold. Some used their powers to heat themselves up, others sharing them so all they could stay warm. Most of them wore fearful looks in their eyes, and they looked around their backs as if something was about to bite at them.

In the midst of the crowd Scott led the group away from the forest they were in, untangling growing leaves with his own mutant powers. "Come on, this way!" Scott shouted as he pointed towards a opening of the forest. Sighs of relief were expressed as the kids relaxed slightly. But Rogue did not. Her eyes were red from crying too hard, and her face was salty with dried tears. Her eyes were filled with fear, but not for herself. It was for Logan. Logan had saved her more than a lot, and yet she couldn't do anything to save his. She bit her lip hard, trying to force the anger out of her. It was all Cyclop's fault! she thought as she held onto her friends' hands tightly.

"Ok now, listen up everybody! We're going to go in the Mansion and find the Professor, along with all the others. If you see anyone or hear a sound, call out, alright?" Scott shouted to the students and then all nodded, whispering to each other. Scott gave a small nodd to himself before stepping onto the pavement.

"What about Logan and Cady! We have to go find them!" Rogue shouted, pushing through the crowd towards Scott, who stared at her with a grim frown. "No, we have more important things to do and its to find the Professor!" Scott countered, his lips curling distastefully.

"You mean Jean," Rogue emphasized angrily and Scott winced a little.

"Whoever it may be, Rogue, we can't do anything for them right now. All we can do is hope for the best," Scott spoke and turned away from her, leading the mutant kids out of the forest. But Rogue persisted by grabbing the teacher's arm.

"So you are just going to leave them there, possibly for dead, just because of your selfish causes?" Rogue spoke coldly. Now all the students stopped in their tracks, most of them looking at the student and teacher. Scott stared at Rogue's face in silence then opened his mouth to reply. "If it will save lives, I'm going to take that chance."

And with that, Scott pulled his arm off of Rogue's grip and turned away, leading the students out towards the possibly deserted Mansion. Rogue only continued to stare at Cyclop's back, her eyes too dry for tears as Jubilee and Kitty tried to comfort her as best they can...

A/N: Ok, I know I may have made Scott look like a evil person in this story... -shrugs- For all Scott fans, I'm sorry. But it won't last long, don't worry! (: I hope you liked this chapter, because I don't like it very much... The excitement will be coming soon, and I'm guessing you already know what! X3 Hope you review, I shall be waiting! XD
