Chapter Five: One and a Half Hours Later
"Jean, Rogue, Kitty," Scott said through the screen of the tent. "Go away, Scott. Ah'm trying to sleep," Rogue grumbled. "Ve are making a break for it. Do you vant to come?" Kurt asked. "You mean we can actually, like, get out of this place?" Kitty asked, poking her head through the tent. "Yup," Scott said. "Get dressed and meet as at the fire ring in the clearing." "Like, sure," Kitty said, "anything to get out of here, you know?" Five minutes later, the group was gathered in the clearing. "Come on," Scott said, leading the group into the woods, the soft red light emitted from his visor lighting their way. After about ten minutes of walking, Jean stopped, leaning on a tree. "I have two questions," she announced. "First of all, where's Kurt? I can't see him." "I am right here," Kurt said, touching her wrist. "Okay. Second of all, who here knows where we're going?" "We're going to the highway," Scott said, impatient to get further from Logan and his heightened senses. "How do we get there?" "We go southwest." "Which direction are we heading?" "I'm...not sure..." Scott said, trailing off into silence. "Vhat do you mean, you're not sure?!" Kurt said, grabbing Scott by the shoulders. "Do you know vhat vould happen if zomebody found me, lost, in ze daylight?! Zey vould shoot me!" "Calm down, Kurt," Evan said, pulling him away from Scott. "No one's gonna shoot anybody." "Vhy did I agree to zis?" Kurt moaned. "Now ve don't even know vhere ze hell ve are." "I've, like, got an idea!" Kitty said brightly. "Wow, there's a once in a lifetime sight," Rogue muttered. "Kurt," Kitty began, shooting Rogue a dirty look, "can climb one of these trees and tell us what he sees." "Vhatever it takes to stay out of ze daylight," Kurt muttered climbing up a tall tree. Once he had gotten up, he peered around, his eyes able to through the dark. "I zee ze highway!" he shouted down. "Good! Come tell us where it is!" Jean shouted up. Kurt climbed down the tree and pointed to the left. "Ve vere going ze vrong vay," he said. "It's zat vay." "Good, let's go," Scott said, turning and walking off, the rest of the group following him. After several more minutes of walking in the dark of the forest, Kurt spotted something through the trees. "Zere's someone over there!"
"Is it Logan?" Scott asked in a whisper, seeing the hideous consequences of tonight's breakout playing in his mind. "No.it looks like a teenager, but I can't really see it vell." "IT'S THE BROTHERHOOD!" Scott shouted, firing laser blasts at the unsuspecting victim.
(A/N: Okay, here I'm trying to decide between narcissistically inserting myself into the storyline or having the Brotherhood gratuitously show up. Or both. Please review and tell me which would be better.)
