Disclaimer: need I say more?
I woke in the middle of the night, crying out from another horrible dream. As before I couldn't remember what it was about. I had learned that it did no good to try and remember, so I just let it go to rest peacefully with my other dreams. I walked to the bathroom, trying to calm myself down. I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, so I decided to take extra time in getting ready for school.
Three hours later, I was out of the door and walking to school. I heard a car pull up beside me, and expecting it to be Scott and the gang, I turned around to talk. I was surprised when I saw a black limo pull up. I tried to see who was inside, but the windows were too darkly tinted. A door opened and before I knew what was going on, I was pushed inside. I landed with a thud on the ground, and glared at the figure whose face was hidden by shadows. I was creeped out by this person immediately, and scooted as far away as the backseat would let me.
"There is no reason to fear me Andrea." The feminine voice whispered. I had heard it before, but I couldn't put my finger on the face it belonged with. She must have noticed my confusion, because she hissed,
"You don't know who I am? Oh, I feel so insulted."
"Who are you? What do you want with me?!" I said, my voice trembling. She cackled evilly, and chills ran down my spine. –Wait. I've had this feeling before when I talked to this voice…-
"Ms. Shields?" I whispered. This couldn't be Ms. Shields. She's not a blue skinned freak!
"Give the girl a prize." She responded sarcastically.
"I heard you went to see Charles Xavier yesterday." She continued. "What did you think of him and his group, hmm?"
"They were much more friendly than you, Ms. Shields," I said as if her name was a curse. Her abducting me and interrogating me was starting to make me extremely angry.
She growled deep in her throat, and was in my face, nearly touching noses with me.
"I offer you my help, a sanctuary, and this is how I'm repaid?!" she whispered. I never let my eyes leave hers. She grinned, which was scary in a situation like this. She pulled her head away from mine.
"Such a brave little girl." Her grin vanished. "But if you get in my way, you shall regret being so brave."
I felt the car stop and she pushed me out of the car, leaving me stranded on a curb near school. I had just gotten myself together when I heard another car pull up.
"Need a ride?" Scott yelled.
"Yeah. Sure." I yelled back and hopped in the back with the others. –That was definitely a new experience for me. – I thought. – And one I hope not to repeat. –
I talked to Kitty during lunch, and asked her what it was like staying at the Institute.
"Oh, it's, like, great. Big bedrooms, good food, plenty to do on weekends. It's , like, a home away from home for me!" she exclaimed. I'm sure she knew I was thinking about joining them. I thanked her for the info, and asked if I could come over again this afternoon so that she could show me around. She was excited about it, and I was glad I wouldn't be by myself this afternoon.
