I do not own the X-men. Do you honestly think that if I did I'd be sitting
at home on the Internet? I'd be rich and spending my money as fast as I
can!!!
I got so many reviews that I didn't add to any of my other stories and went straight onto chapter two.

Two days earlier
Danielle was at Mr & Mrs Wagner's house. She had to pick up ANOTHER extra meal that had been made by accident for Kurt. Of course what Kurt called a meal was enough for all of Danielle's family!
"I can't stop doing it!" Laughed his mother "We'll both be fat by the end of the year!"
"I wouldn't mind getting fat on your cooking dear" said Mr Wagner tenderly before rubbing his belly and Winking at her "And how are you coping Danny?"
Danielle blushed, she and Kurt were joined at the hip and they all knew that she'd spent a week crying in her room after he'd left.
"I'm okay, I got a letter from him today. And he e-mails me all the time" She slowly scuffed he shoe along the floor.
"The house seems so quiet without him. No more music at maximum volume, no more late night snack that half empty the fridge, no more going into the woods and not returning all day" The last comment was directed slyly at Danielle
"Kurt always told me that you knew about that before hand!" she protested
"I know, I'm just teasing you dear" Mrs Wagner patted her Niece on the head before going into the kitchen. Danielle looked at the loaded plate covered in Clingfilm
"How can he eat so much?" she giggled, "I mean, he always had an appetite but that's insane!!"
"Xavier told us that Kurt uses up more energy passing through dimensions as he teleports. This means he has to eat more," explained Kurt's Dad simply.
"I miss him, there's no one to play with in the forest anymore" Danielle grumbled
"While we're on the subject, what did you two used to do there?" asked Mrs Wagner through the wall
"Um," Danielle didn't like hiding things from her Aunt but she couldn't break a blood oath that she'd made with her cousin over three years ago "We used to.you know, climb trees and things like that" she shrugged easily, hoping that they'd drop it. She didn't want Kurt to get into trouble, even if he was over 6,000 miles away.
Danielle was almost two years younger than Kurt and her father was his mothers' brother. Her earliest memory involved a 6-year-old Kurt staring at her through the bars in her play pen. Because she had grown up with him, Danielle had never once felt scared of him. On the contrary Danielle adored Kurt and loved him with every bone in her body.
They had both been home schooled purely because Danielle had made a terrible fuss of being separated from him. She had argued for almost three days to be allowed to stay and on many occasions Kurt had joined her. From the day it had been allowed Kurt and Danielle had been best friends. That hadn't changed yet and Danielle hoped it never would.
"If you'll just wait a minute I will give you something that I have made for you're father for his birthday" said her uncle and left to go upstairs
"Okay, I can wait" Danielle called after him. She sat alone for a minute and looked up at the picture of her standing next to Kurt in the woods, hugging each other tightly.
"DANIELLE!!!!" The loudness of his voice made her jump as he ran down the stairs
"What is it?" asked Mrs Wagner as she ran back out from the kitchen
"It's Ben Franze! He's come back!" He screamed.
"What's going on?" asked Danielle. She stole a glance out of the window and screamed at what she saw. The trees were bending over themselves in a line, making a walkway. Danielle could see a man coming out of the woods but she was too far away to see him properly.
Her Aunt screamed and ran to her niece
"Danielle get out of here! We'll hold him back for as long as we can but you've got to get away! Please get Kurt! Get them to help us!"
"But_" Danielle felt her bag being thrown into her arms and she was being pushed out of the back door.
"Run, get out of here Danielle, you and Kurt are our only hope!" Danielle felt tears pick at her eyes as she ran into the forest. Mr and Mrs Wagner were two of the most laid back people she knew and seeing them with so much fear in their eyes scared her.
She ran for a whole hour, creating a large circle as she ran in the direction of her house.
"Mum! Dad!" She cried "Something's happening! The trees!" she stopped as she got in, the house had been ransacked, the phone was off the hook and her parents were gone.
On the floor was her favourite picture of the whole family next to the river. She and Kurt had been circled in a red old marker.
'You're next' was written next to their heads.
The smartest thing to do would have been to get Mum's cash card and board the next flight to Bayville but Danielle would not give her parents up without a fight. Having them kidnapped made her feel insanely angry and decided to find this guy.
"Ben Franze" she said under her breath.
Danielle got some food together. After she got her parents (and Kurt's if they'd been kidnapped too) she'd go to America so that Kurt could help her save the others.
It didn't end up that way though. Danielle was discovered and tortured for 24 hours before she promised that she'd get Kurt back to Germany. She now knew that she needed Kurt and the new friends he talked about so often. Then she'd return and Kill Ben Franz and that weird woman who was always with him. She was blind but seemed to always know what Danielle was thinking.
Before she left she finally learnt the woman's name mindbender. She understood Danielle's brain on such dark levels it was scary. She laid one finger on her forehead and instantly she knew everything about Danielle.
"She loves the boy your looking for, they're friends," she said simply
"Really?" Ben did a deal with Danielle; if she returned with Kurt then she'd have her parents back
"W-what do you want with my cousin?" she asked
"We have things to discuss" Ben had said simply.
That day she had been put on a plane and told to only return with Kurt.
'I'll be back' she had thought angrily as she boarded the plane 'And me and my cousin will kick your butts'
I got so many reviews that I didn't add to any of my other stories and went straight onto chapter two.
