It was eleven thirty when Gavin finally couldn't stand it any longer. He got up and snuck out of the school and went to the pool. And there was Kittie, floating on the water silently, her pale skin almost glowing in the moonlight. Gavin smiled softly as he approached, purposely making noise to let her know he was there. He sat down at the water's edge and slid his legs into the water. It was a little warmer, but that was most likely because it was cooler outside. He smiled softly as he watched Kittie float by, and she looked at him and smiled, beckoning him into the water. Gavin slid in silently and began to float himself. He heard movement off to his side, but he didn't move to see. Kittie swam over to him, and Gavin heard something splat wetly on the side of the pond. He raised an eyebrow as he turned over, standing as he did, to see Kittie standing at the edge of the pond, removing her top. Gavin blushed to his knees as he looked at her, and slid under the water. Kittie smiled, her arms crossed over her chest, and she slid back into the water. Gavin couldn't get a word out, he was stuttering continually. Kittie smiled seductively and hugged Gavin. "I love you, Gavin Strommier" she said softly. Gavin smiled, hugging her back, and then blinked once. ^But I never told her my last name^ Gavin looked at her. Kittie smiled again, and then she grinned with a evil glint in her eyes. Gavin watched as she stepped away, flung a hand back, and was hit with a force that was a lot more than Kittie could ever muster. It was like being hit by a train, and Gavin blacked out. Kittie grinned as she hauled Gavin out. Mystique grinned in her own evil way as she hauled Gavin's unconscious form out of the pond. "Tsk. Men, always thinking with the wrong head" she said with an evil leer, dragging Gavin off by his legs.

The next morning came and went without notice. Classes went on as usual, and no one noticed that Gavin was missing. It was only after class, when Kittie and Gavin were going to be going out to a movie, that they noticed something was wrong. Kittie was waiting at the front doors for Gavin, and Ororo was waiting there with her. Ororo had been chosen to 'mentor' Gavin, as she was, in the Professor's opinion, the one person that was older than him who could really help him. Ororo and Kittie had been waiting for over half an hour when Kittie looked at her teacher. "Ms. Monrou, are you sure Gavin didn't say anything about not being able to come?" "I'm positive, he's never been late before, and always made sure I knew where he was" She looked at her watch, and he was now 45 minuets late.

"I'm going to see the Professor" said Ororo. Kittie looked at her. "Well, I'm coming too" she said. Ororo looked at Kittie, and she nodded. The two of them went off in search of the Professor. It took them ten minuets to finally locate the Professor, who had been using Cerrebro, and the two women began talking to the Professor the instant they saw him. "Professor! We need your help, we can seem to find Gavin" The Professor looked at the two of them, nodding. "I know, I just looked over the attendance records for the day, Gavin wasn't in any of his classes, and neither were Alexis, Katryna, or Stephen. I can't locate them with Cerrebro either" The Professor looked puzzled. Kittie looked at the Professor, then to Ms. Monrou. "What does this mean??" she asked, a little scared. "It means that we have to find them, fast" The Professor said solemnly.
