Chapter 5 - Dangerous ground.
Sidney had been waiting for the week to pass on less than patientely. Now she had the book in her possesion, and the spell, her nightmares had gotten worse. Hank had no idea what the incantaion had meant, but he was looking into it. Finally, the day of summer solstice had arrived, now all Sidney had to do was wait until night fell and the moon was in the correct possition. Most of the mutants had been okay with Sidney doing this, they knew how much trouble she was having sleeping and knew if Sidney lost anymore sleep, she would be a very dangerous person to live with. Logan had vouched against it, muttering something about it being wrong meddling with 'mystical mumbo jumbo', but he got out-voted. Sidney had taken the form of a black cat a while ago, she said it helped her clear her mind. She was now sitting on the kitchen windowsill, staring out the window determindely, her tail swishing from side to side. Scott was sitting at the table watching her with a bemused expresion on his face.
"You know, if you stare at it long enough, i'm sure the sun will eventually go down", Scott said with a chuckle.
Sidney turned her head slowly and deliberately in Scott's direction. She stared at him for a few minutes without blinking, then slowly turned her head back and continued staring out the window.
"Okay", said Scott, moving his chair away slightly, "that was creepy".
"Right goggle boy, your teacher has arrived", came a voice from down the hall.
"Oh god no", said Scott, looking desperately for a place to hide, finding none, within seconds, Pietro burst into the door, struggling under the weight of something big and black.
"This has GOT to help you", said Pietro walking over to the table.
He was carrying a huge book with a black cover. He dropped it on the table with a bang, rocking the table slightly.
"What the heck is THAT?", sai Scott, pointing at the offending object.
"It's my little black book", said Pietro proudly, giving the book a pat.
"Its a....big....black...encyclopaeida", said Scott, shaking his head in amazment.
"Isn't it neat?", siad Pietro, "i love this thing".
"How is it going to help me, exactly?", asked Scott.
"Well", said Pietro, with the air of one who is an expert on the subject, "girls who like guys hate nothing more than when the guy they have their eye on, dates an absolutely stunning and amazing girl. They get all jealous and then...WHAM! They are eating out of the palm of your hand".
"Okay..", said Scott with a sigh, "and your book of dates is going to help me how with that?"
"It isn't a book of dates", said Pietro, "i prefer 'personal conquests'. Its going to help you because i can call some girls in this to date you, get Red all jealous".
"And these girls will do this?", said Scott unconvinced.
"Sure", said Pietro, "these girls love me, they'd do anything for me".
"Okay, okay", said Scott, grabbing the book and pulling it towards him, making Pietro utter a little shriek of terror.
"Handle it carefully", said Pietro, "its my bible".
"Okay okay", said Scott, shaking his head, "calm down".
He started to leaf throught the book, he gave a wistle of appreciation.
"Iv'e got to hand it to you Maximoff, you've got a BIG list".
"Did you expect anything less from me?", said Pietro with a grin, "look, your in my old school there, you need to look under the 'Bayville babes' section".
"Your book has sections?", said Scott, sighing and turning to the back of the book.
"No not the back!", shouted Pietro in desperation, too late.
"'Ladies that have resited my charms'?", quoted Scott.
"Yeah", said Pietro sheepishly, "those are girls i haven't caught yet, but i will".
"Jean's in here!", said Scott, "and theres Rogue, Kitty, Tally and Sidney!".
There was a sudden growl from the windowsill. Scott cringed, he'd forgotten that Sidney was still in the room, apparently, Pietro hadn't noticed until then either. Sidney leapt off the windowsill, turning to her true form as she did so, and marched towards Pietro, scowling.
"Errr....nice Sid", said Pietro, backing away, "please don't hurt me".
"I'm STILL considered a conquest to you?", she snarled, "of all the nerve".
"Sorry", said Pietro with a nervous laugh, "i'll wipe your name out. I wasn't planning on going after you yet anyway, your dating Todd. I was going to wait unti....".
"You have three seconds to start running", said Sidney calmly, changing into a Jaguar.
"I'm gone", said Pietro, disapearing in a flash, followed closely by a snarling Sidney.
"Great", said Scott, looking down at the book, "i guess i'll look through this by myself then".
A while later, Pietro returned into the kitchen, hes jumper was torn and his hair was in a mess. He sat down and narrowed his eyes at Scott.
"You HAD to read the back bit out loud didn't you?", he said, crossing his arms.
"Sorry, i didn't know", said Scott, "anyway, you shouldn't have them there anyway. You have Jean in there".
"So?".
"So your SUPPOSED to help me get to Jean. How am i supposed to do that knowing that your after her too? ".
"I'm not after her...yet", said Pietro, "anyway have you seen anyone you like?".
"Well...i guess Taryn's okay", said Scott with a sigh, "i didn't know you dated her".
"Oh yeah, i dated her, once", said Pietro, looking at his fingernails, "good choice, a little pushy, but very nice....".
"You tryin' ta break more hearts Speedy?", said Rogue as she walked in.
"No", said Pietro, "Scott's just trying to make Jean jealous so she'll go out with him".
"Tell the world why don't you", said Scott, banging his head on the table.
Neither boy noticed Rogue's eyes narrow as Pietro said that.
"Jean huh?", she said with a frown, "well thats just fah'ne".
With that, Rogue stormed off, slamming the kitchen door behind her.
"Whats wrong with her?", said Scott.
"I sense a damsel in distress", said Pietro with a grin, "and she's one that isn't on my list. Bye bye, i'm going to lay on the old Maximoff charm".
Before Scott could react, Pietro had sped off in the direction Rogue had taken.
Rogue was sitting ouside the institute, sulking. She would never really openly admit how much she liked Scott. She told herself not to beat herself up about it too much, she knew how much he liked Jean. Why not?, she told herself, Jean's a smart, pretty Red-head who is perfect in everyway. Why have me when she could have her?. At least he could touch Jean. No one could ever touch her. She sighed and hugged her knees, she didn't feel the sudden gust of wind.
"Rogue?".
Rogue gave a squeak of surprise and spun around, only to see Pietro.
"Oh, hi", she said, "what do you want?".
"I...just wanted to see if you were okay", said Pietro with a smile, "you ran out of the kitchen pretty quickly".
"A'hm fa'hne", said Rogue with a sigh, "a'hm just dandy. Scott's after Jean and a'hm left in the dark, again. Ah'm just peachy".
"Whoah", said Pietro, "looks like we made the wrong girl jealous".
"A'hm NOT jealous of 'little miss perfect'", said Rogue, crossing her arms, "just 'cause she can get any guy she wants. Just 'cause she can get Scott. Just 'cause she can touch people without knocking them out!".
"Ahhhh", said Pietro, "so thats what this is about. Its because you can't touch anyone. I thought you'd stopped having those moods while you were living with us at the 'hood place".
"Yeah, well, they came back", said Rogue, "an' seein' all those happy couples. Todd an' Sid, Lance an' Kitty, Tally an' Evan. It just...hurts you know?. A'h could never have that".
"You could have that", said Pietro with a smile, "i mean, there would be a 'no touching' rule, but you could still have that".
"Yeah right", said Rogue, "name me one guy who wouldn't mind havin' a girlfriend that he couldn't touch?".
"Well", said Pietro, "i'm always up for a challenge".
Rogue stared at him, taking this in, before she could reply, Lance came running over.
"Come on guys, we gotta hustle", he said, pointing at the now dark sky, "its nearly time for Sidney to do her freaky incantation thing".
Before either of the two mutants could answer they were dragged around the back of the mansion where Sidney was waiting, book in hand. She didn't look nervous at all, just very determined.
"Whenever your ready Sidney", said Xavier.
Sidney mearly nodded, opening the book. She took a deep breath, and started to read the incantation.
"The winds of change sweep through the land of the Pharaoh's. The sands of the Egypt flow into the nile, chocking all life.", Sidney started, the distant rumbling of thunder could be heard.
"Knock it off O", wispered Logan.
"Its is not me", said Storm, shaking her head, "i don't know what is causing it".
Manwhile, Sidney was continuing with the incantation.
"By the power of Ra, i call upon his daughter, the cat godess, Bastet, to help me rid this plauge".
Professor Xavier suddenly put his hand to his head, he was getting a mental message from Hank.
"I bestow on her all i posses, including my very soul, and hope she will answer my"
Xavier gave a gasp.
"Sidney stop the incan...."
"Plea", Sidney finnished.
Nothing happened for a second. Everyone looked between the professor and Sidney, wondering what was going on. Suddenly Sidney gave a growl of pain, clutching her chest as she sunk to the ground. She roared in pain, digging her clawed hands into the ground. Todd started to run towards her.
*Don't*
However much Todd wanted to help Sidney, there was an urgency in the professor's mental message that made him stop in his tracks. Meanwhile, Sidney was still writhing in agony when she suddenly stopped. She lay on the ground, panting for a while. She then brought herself up in a kneeling position and looked at her hands, turning them over as if she had seen them for the first time. She suddenly stood up and turned to face the group. Her eyes glowed for a second before dimming back again.
"You....okay Sid?", asked Todd, steeping forward.
Sidney narrowed her eyes at Todd.
"Who are you?", she said.
Todd blinked.
"It's me....Todd", he said.
"Should i know you?", Sidney asked.
The rest of the group shook their heads in disbeilief.
"Well considerin' we've know each other since we were four, i think so", said Todd, he was starting to get freaked out, "whats wrong with you Sid?".
"Thats not Sidney", said the professor.
"What do you mean Chuck?", asked Logan.
"Hank just sent me a mental message", explained Xavier, "he seems to have found out what the incantation means, or, more presicley, what it does".
"So it just, like, makes her loose her momory right?", said Kitty hopefully.
"I'm afraid not", said the prfoessor with a sigh, "it is an incantaion of possesion".
Ooooooooh, cliffhanger. Whoah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Well remember to review, until next time chucks..
