Josie had been back to her normal self and had gotten into the swing of things again. It was one night she couldn't sleep and so she read. It was 12pm and her watch beeps twice, Josie sighs, "Happy Birthday Josie." She whispers to herself and finally drifts off to sleep. She wakes up on a Saturday morning with the sun shining into her room. She takes out a picture and in it is a little girl and her parents. "I miss you two so much." Josie says to herself. She brings her knees to her chest and rests her head on her knees. 'Suck it up girl! You're 13 and you're still moping around. But then again it's kinda hard to grow with no family whatsoever. But then again Kurt is always there, I'm sure he'd understand. Maybe I should stop blocking everyone out of my life.' Josie gets ready for the day and walks outside and sits under a large tree away from everyone else. She then hears a 'Bamf!' noise and knows its Kurt. "Are you feeling ok?" Kurt asks coming from around the tree. Josie looks up, "Umm yea sure." Kurt raises a brow, "Are you sure?" Josie shrugs, "I think I might go for a walk, want to come?" Josie stands up and faces Kurt, "Sure I guess I'll join you." The two of them find a path and set off.

"I know something is wrong Josie." Kurt says after a 5 minutes of silence. Josie looks at him and bites her lip, "If you really want to know I just miss my family. I just can't get over how I killed them. It's not everyday you see a 5 year old kill their parents." Kurt is confused by this, she had been just fine the last couple of days, "Your not alone. I never knew my parents at all. I know you have been running for 7 years, and I've been running my whole life." Josie stares at the ground, "8 years." Kurt was now really confused, "But that would make you 13." Josie nods, "Just today. I just need to think." Josie runs as fast as she can and stops as she comes to a hill that overlooks the city. Josie stares at all the humans down there enjoying their life not scared of being different or maybe even experimented on. She just stares at them all with hatred, "They'll never know what real pain is.Never!" Josie says to herself. Her anger rises and the ground shakes a little, but not much. "Calm down Josie!" Josie turns around to see Kurt.

A solitary tear runs down her face, "All my life I've been running so they couldn't hurt me! Why shouldn't I kill them? All our worries would be gone!" Kurt realises the threat and walks up to her, "They just don't realise the pain they cause but it's not their fault." Josie breaks down crying, never had Kurt seen her cry. She falls to her knees, "It's all my fault they are gone! If only I hadn't of gotten mad at them." Kurt kneels down beside her and lets her cry into his chest. How could someone carry the guilt with them that they had killed someone they loved? The day passed by quickly and Kurt had calmed Josie down. She now knew she was never going to be alone with Kurt around. But things hadn't gotten better; she was now drifting even further away from everyone, even Kurt. She would stay in her room almost all day and sometimes come into the kitchen when no one was around to eat.

The Prof was very aware of this and knew it hasn't well for her health. 'Josie could I see you in my office?' he asks Josie telepathically. Josie finishes off the page she was reading in her book and walks down the hallway to his office. 'Wonder what I did this time?' Josie asks herself. Josie reaches his office and knows there is no point in knocking so she just opens the door. "Please sit." He tells her. Josie sits in a chair in front of his desk. "You are probably wondering why I brought you down here." Josie gives a slight nod. "Well many of us have noticed you are isolating yourself from others more then usual." Josie shrugs, "It's no big deal." "But it is when you barely come out of your room or barely eat." Josie sighs; there was no way out of this now. "What is bothering you?" He asks concerned. "Just things from the past that's all." The Prof knew this wouldn't be easy, "That's not the only thing is it?" Josie shakes her head, "I want to know who I am. I don't even know if Josie is even my real name, I can't remember anything at all. The only thing I have is." Josie pulls out a picture and hands it to the Prof. The Prof studies the picture, "Tell me everything you remember." Josie nods, "Well I remember when I killed my parents I was packing and I saw the ambulance arrive and so I jumped out my window and flew off somewhere safe. I also remember a boy around 14 taunting me and my anger blinded me so I killed him and them his friends chased me then beat me to death. I was always lost and confused and people always gave me strange looks as if they knew I was different by just looking at me."

This was all very strange to the Prof. How could she not remember anything? But then he had an idea, "Did anyone ever abduct you?" He asks. Josie thinks very hard for a few moments, suddenly a whole rush of memories flood her mind, "Yes I was." The Prof then knows who did, "Does the name Stryker ring a bell?" Josie nods slightly, "He wasn't the only one but I didn't know their names." The Prof nods, "Did he ever do anything to you?" Josie nods, "Yes, I remember him injecting some strange drug into me and I." Her eyes go wide, she hears screaming and pleas in her mind, "I killed many innocent humans..." The Prof curses the mad man in his mind for using such a young child for his experiments. "I remember him telling me I had a power deep within myself. But then I escaped one night and I remember him telling me that one day his work would be completed by another." Josie shakes her head. "You may go now Josie, but do you mind if we talk again soon?" Josie gets up, "Sure." She walks out of his office and straight back to her room.

'How could I have done all that.' She reaches her room. She knew there was only one thing to do. She takes out a cross and holds it tightly. "Lord please forgive me for what I have done in the past. And forgive me of what I do in the future." She prays to herself and puts the cross away. Josie looks out the window and stares out at all the other mutant children. 'Or is my name really Josie?' She asks herself. There is a knock on her door, "Come in." She calls out and she knows its Kurt. "Are you ok?" He asks. "I take it the Prof told you?" She asks. He nods, "You have no clue of who you are?" Josie shakes her head, "Nope. That's why I tried to escape a few times so I could find out who I am but I was to scared. I can't even remember why I tried to kill my parents." A few days passed and the Prof called her to his office again. "I have decided I want Jean, Storm and Kurt to take you to your home town where you could find out who you are." Josie smiles, "Thank you so much! When do we leave?" The Prof laughs, "As soon as you want."

Before Josie knew it she was in the x-jet flying to Boston. They land just outside of it in a field. They pack into a car and drive to the police station. Josie walks up to a desk there (by the way Jean and Kurt are in the car) "Umm excuse me but I heard that 8 years ago there was a mutant sighting here." The officer looks up from his desk, "Uh yes that is correct. Why do you want to know?" Josie smiles, "I'm doing a report on mutant attacks. Could you give me any information?" The officer thinks for a minute, "I guess it would ok. What do you want to know?" Josie thinks for a minute, "Her name, why she attacked and about her family." The officer nods, "Well her name was Jenna Willington. She did have abusive parents, we would get reports from neighbours about a lot of yelling and crying that went on in the house. The reason I guess why the girl attacked is she had enough it and just blew it. Everyone thinks she is dead." Josie nods, "Did she have any family?" The officer shook his head, "None from what I recall." Josie nods, "Thank for your help." Josie leaves with Storm and climbs into the car. "So did you find anything?" Jean asks. Josie nods, "My parents were abusive and I killed them because I had enough of it and my name is Jenna Willington." They drive round the city until they come to a particular street that Jen remembers. Jen steps out of the car and walks up to one deserted house.

She walks up to it and opens the door. The house looked like it had never been touched or anything had never been moved. Jen walks up some stairs and into an average sized bedroom. She picks up a picture on a dresser and looks at a happy couple and a small child in the middle of them laughing. She looks around the room and there is a small child's bed, nightstand, a couple of toys and a few pictures on the wall. Kurt walks up to her, "Is this your home?" Jen nods slightly, she walks into another room with a few smashed things here and there. She walks down to the main floor and into the basement; she opens a cupboard and finds alcohol and drugs. Jen falls to her knees, Kurt puts a hand on her shoulder, "I remember find all of this and my father threatened he would kill me if I told anyone and that night he beat me worse then any other time. I went to my room and cried there for days until my mother convinced me to come out and that we'd talk it over. But instead she smacked me and told me they'd love to have any other child in the world, as long as it wasn't me." Kurt never thought any person would ever be so horrible towards their child. "Everyone thought we were the perfect family outside the house but inside they were all wrong." Kurt was disliking the two parents more and more every second. "They weren't the only ones though who hurt me, even relatives hated me and it was all because I was a mutant." Kurt knew she couldn't handle anymore, "Should we leave?" He suggests. Jen nods, "Yea sure." She stands up a little shaky from the flood of memories. Jean and Storm had over heard everything and were astonished at how cruel parents could be towards their children who were mutants.

Jen falls asleep on the way back to the school, she fell asleep against Kurt and with his arm around her (Aww. Sorry couldn't help it lol.) They all arrive back at the school but Kurt carries Jen in so he wouldn't have to wake her up. He sets her in her room on her bed and then goes to the Prof's office. He knocks on his door, "Come in Kurt." The Prof calls from his office. Kurt walks in, "Please, sit down." Kurt sits in a chair, "Did Jean and Storm tell you?" The Prof nods. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Some family of Jen's found out she was alive and want her back." Kurt's eyes go wide, "Prof you can't possibly let her go, they will hurt her!" The Prof nods, "I'm aware of that. I'm going to do all I can to keep her here but is they press charges on us and get the police involved then there isn't much I can do." "Why do they want her?" Kurt asks. "I'm not sure, but I have a feeling they are getting paid to do this so she can be sent to a lab." Kurt sighs, no matter what he couldn't let that happen. "But there is a way." The Prof tells him. Kurt almost jumps, "Vat? I'll do anything!" The Prof nods, "You can become her legal guardian if you want and that way they can't have her." Kurt doesn't think twice about it, "I'll do it!" The Prof almost laughs at how protective of how he is of her. "I'll get the papers ready in the mean time you should tell her the news." Kurt nods and leaves without saying another word.

He opens Jen's door a crack. Jen was up and sitting on her bed, with a few tears running down her face. He walks over to her wipes her tears away and sits beside her, "I have good news and bad news." He tells. "Tell me the bad first." Kurt sighs, "Some family of yours has found you and wants you back. And if they press charges the Prof wont be able to much about it." Jen throws her arms around him, "Please don't let them take me away." Never would he let them take her away, the first day he met her she was never scared of him or acted strange around him. She was very special to him; no matter what he's do anything to protect her. "But they can't. I'm going to become your legal guardian." He says grinning. Jen looks up at him and smiles, "Kurt you're the best!" She hugs him even tighter. Kurt laughs, "Ok but it isn't official yet." Jen nods and lets go.

A few days went by and the Prof had left for a few days. Jen was one night reading a book when she heard various, footsteps, crashes and voices which weren't any of the students.
