I went back and changed a few names cause I didn't like them. So, Ken's
other name is now Illusion NOT Iceseer (don't know where that name came
from but I'm glad it's gone now) and my other name is Catseye.
Chapter Four
Draco walked through the front door of the mansion with Amanda on her shoulder. Ken walked in behind her. The past week had past by much to quickly for their tastes. They weren't really looking forward to living with the X-men or at lest that's what Jean said they were called.
"Whoa. Nice place." Draco looked to Jean, "Where are we staying?"
"This way. Do you want us to call your aunt and tell her you arrived safely?" Jean asked as they headed up the stairs.
"No. She won't know who you are." Ken replied.
"What?" Jean stopped and looked at the two teens. "What did you do to her?"
"We made her forget that we were there so she would be safe." Draco answered, "Now where are our rooms?"
Jean looked like she wanted to object to their methods but she held her peace and led the way up the stairs.
Their rooms were at the end of the hall. They were directly across from each other. Draco dropped her bag on the bed along with the suitcase full of clothes that her Aunt had bought for her. Ken had a similar suitcase but it held fewer clothes and more books.
"You can unpack later. Now the professor wants to see you." Jean motioned for them to follow her.
Draco and Ken followed the red head out of their rooms and down the hall to the stairs.
/Off to meet the big guy already?/ Whitewing asked as they passed a large window.
/Oh shut up./ Draco growled, /I don't see you here./
/But I will be, in your mind./ Whitewing had followed them and was staying outside.
Ken sighed, /Will you two behave. We can't keep having these conversations. The professor and Jean are both telepaths. We have to be careful./
/Yes mother./ Whitewing sounded rather bored.
/If we can loose these guys for a few hours we'll all go hang out somewhere quiet./ Ken promised.
/Yeah!!!!!/ Whitewing cheered, already excited with the plan.
Ken rolled his eyes.
Jean stopped in front of a large mahogany door.
"This is it." She opened the door and revealed a room full of people.
Draco and Ken followed Jean into the room.
"So what did you want to talk to us about?" Draco asked as she stood beside Ken.
"I wanted to welcome you here and to introduce to Ororo Munroe or Storm since she is one of the instructors. I would also like to know exactly what your mutation is. That information was one of many things I was unable to find out."
"Depends on why you want to know. We only agreed to come here because my aunt doesn't like mutants. I'd hate to be rude but there is no real reason we're here other than to…" Draco stopped when Amanda's claws dug into her shoulder. She winced, not at the small pain but about the reason why they were here.
"Other that to, what? What is it you are here for?" Logan asked.
"Nothing. We can take care of ourselves, we just want to go to school." Ken said softly.
Professor Xavier nodded, "Very well but I would still like to know the extent of your powers. You can train with the other students here. I want to know if you pose a danger to others."
Draco and Ken remained silent. The years of hiding themselves was now a habit they weren't going to break just because someone appeared trustworthy. It just wasn't going to happen.
/The guy's waiting for an answer./ Whitewing pointed out.
/They already know. Remember the fight?/ Amanda spoke up.
Draco growled, this was really annoying, "Look you already know our powers. I have fire under my control and Ken has ice at his disposal."
"I was just wondering if there was anything else." The professor's amiable expression did little to ease Draco's nerves.
"Well if there is, it's none of your business. We'll keep to ourselves if you leave us alone."
Ken poked Draco in the ribs, "That was hardly polite."
"But it was the truth wasn't it? You really want us to leave you both alone?" Scott asked.
Draco and Ken both nodded.
"But we can't do that. What about the Brotherhood?" Kurt asked, "I'm sure they'll keep bothering you once they see you're not really part of the group."
"We can handle them." Draco said, totally confident with their capabilities.
Kitty looked at them curiously, "You know, I'm like wondering where that really big bird came from. It totally rocked."
/Hear that? I totally rock./ Whitewing cheered inside their minds.
/Shh!!/ Ken shushed urgently; the Professor and Jean both had odd looks on their faces.
Draco shrugged, "I've never seen a bird that big." Which was true, "I'd really like to meet it and say thanks anyway."
Kitty nodded.
"Are you sure you don't know?" the Professor pressed, "Jean and I could have sworn there as another person with you?"
"No. Just us and the cat." Draco replied, "Now if you'll excuse us well make our way back to our rooms."
Jean stood up ready to lead them back to their rooms. Ken shook his head.
"We know the way." They left the room and Jean sat back down.
Draco shut the door to her room and sighed in relief and Amanda leapt off her shoulder. Her paws had barely touched the ground when she started to return to her human form. Ken went to the window and let Whitewing in. A crow landed on the window ledge and then hopped to the ground and started to change.
"Do we really have to stay silent?" Whitewing whined, "Amanda, how do you keep so quiet?"
"Practice." Amanda replied. She was wearing black T-shirt and black jeans that went nicely with her purple colouring. Her cloak usually hid the thin purple fur that covered her skin. But over the years she was becoming more like a feline. Her face was now covered in a thin fur and her canine teeth were sharper. Her changes had appeared to stop but her looks weren't as much of a problem as they would have been if she hadn't been able to shape shift.
Whitewing rolled his eyes, "Yeah, what ever." He moved his golden wings fluffing his strong feathers.
"How can you go so long with out talking?" Draco repeated, "I really want to know."
"It's easy. I remember what happened when I was younger. When I first found out about my telepathy and telekinesis." Amanda sounded like she was lost in a memory.
Draco winced sympathetically, "What happened?"
"The usual. Hearing everyone's thoughts and things moving on their own. Scaring the shit out of myself until I finally figured it all out."
"Oh." Draco sat on the bed, "Sorry."
"No, it's alright." Amanda sat on the edge of the low dresser with the mirror. Whitewing sat beside her. Ken took a seat on the floor.
"So what are we going to do now? I don't think we can hide from these people for very long. I saw heavy surveillance systems and other mechanical stuff while I was flying over. They are well equipped to defend themselves from attack." Whitewing said serious for the first time in quite a while.
"Attack from what? The Brotherhood? That Lance guy seemed really pissed at Scott and the rest." Draco fell back onto the bed, "I don't even know why the Brotherhood wants us. They're not even sure we're telepaths."
"They don't have to know. They just suspect and that's enough for them." Ken stood and started pacing around the room, "We can't hide here forever. Sooner or later they will find us and we'll have to move again."
"And that means we'll have to tell them about ourselves. We can't have them involved in our problems." Whitewing glanced outside. Three of the X- men were outside with Logan. All were wearing some kind of suit or costume each with an X placed in different areas.
"Hey, isn't that blue fuzzy thing Kurt?" Whitewing asked aloud. The others followed his gaze to the window.
"I think so. But didn't he look human before?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, I think we would have noticed the blue fuzzy guy." Amanda said with a small smile.
Draco stuck her tongue out at Amanda before moving to the window, "It looks like Logan is doing a training thing with Kurt and Kitty."
Amanda pushed herself off the dresser and went to the window. She watched them as the two below used their powers play what looked like a game of tag.
"How completely childish." Amanda claimed.
"I bet you want to play." Draco teased.
"I do not. It's a waste of time." Amanda moved away from the window.
"Sure. And I'm going to start skipping meals." Draco said with a grin.
Amanda only glared at her friend as she sat back down on the dresser.
Ken raised his hands in a calming gesture but was interrupted by a blaring alarm.
Draco, Amanda and Whitewing all jumped to their feet.
"What the hell is that?" Amanda growled.
"Stay in here. We'll find out." Draco and Ken ran out of the room leaving Amanda and Whitewing to stay behind and worry.
To be continued…
Okay, that's it. I don't feel like typing anymore today. I also don't feel like editing so I apologize for the spelling and grammar mistakes. I know that this chapter was kind of useless but I kind of…um…lost my notes and so until I'm find them again I'm a little lost. ~grins~ but I'll figure it out eventually or I'll find my notes. Whichever one comes first. ^_^
