Disclaimer; The same as every other time.
Ok, since I'm being more talkative. Dear Firebreath. Your comments were very appreciative, thanks 4 helping me with Rogue's spelling. As I have said before, if I screw anything up, please tell me. I hope to see more reviews, though I only put it up yesterday. I hope more people read my story. I hope I can write another one soon.
In this episode we will see a little more of Ket's charming personality unfold as she folds up. That's rather ironic I know. Oh well.
**************************************************************************** ******
Ket opened her eyes. 'Hmm, the kid's gone. Right in the middle of Letterman to.' The teen sat up and looked around. Daylight streamed through the windows across the room. 'Damn,' Ket thought. 'I fell asleep'. She stood up and stretched, then looked around. She walked back into the hallway and to the kitchen.
"Ket!" Rogue cried. "Scott didn't fry you!" She laughed and Ket grinned.
"Nope. Your Professor stopped him, thank god. You ok?"
"Yeah." Rogue smiled.
"How's the guy you were with?"
A voice behind Ket answered. "Logan is fine, and right behind you." Ket turned and saw the middle aged guy leaning on the door.
She sighed. "What is it with you people and sneaking up behind me?" She asked. Rogue chuckled as Ket walked over to Logan and stuck out her hand. "Heard you weren't a people person, hope that wasn't lost." She smiled. Logan also smiled and shook her hand.
"You seem to know allot for just arriving last night." He replied. "And no, it wasn't lost." The three sat down and started eating a fruit salad Rogue had dug up from the fridge when Scott and Storm walked in. Ket watched as Logan and Scott nodded in acknowledgement while Storm greeted Logan and Rogue warmly. Then the white hared woman turned to Ket.
"Thank you for helping our friends," she said. "I'm Storm." Ket nodded.
"I'm sure you know who I am, but anyway, I'm Ket. You're a weather controller aren't you?"
Storm looked surprised. "Yes, who told you?"
Ket smiled. "Instinct. It must be cool to be able to make snow in the middle of summer." Storm nodded, arching and eyebrow. Ket laughed and polished off a strawberry. "You wouldn't have a bathroom in a mansion this size, would you?" Ket asked.
"Down the hall and to your left." Storm replied.
"Thanks." Ket said. She got up and left, needing a smoke to cool off her nerves. In the kitchen Storm looked at the others.
"Who is she?" The woman asked. Rogue shrugged and Scott looked at the doorway.
"She is Ket, and that's all I know. It's all she ever says, though she knows what we're really asking."
"Her power goes as far as knowing who is a mutant and what they are and being able to lift a sixteen wheeler, if that helps at all." Rogue said.
"Maybe the Professor can enlighten us." Storm wondered.
"All he says is that she came from hell. I asked him last night but he said she would be the one to tell us about herself, not him." Scott replied.
"She seems alright." Logan said. "No problems with me anyway." He looked at Scott and then returned to the salad.
Meanwhile Ket sat in the giant window by the bathroom door, as there wasn't one inside. 'One less cigarette. I'm gonna need more to get me through this place. Maybe I can stay awhile though. Might as well give it a shot.'
That afternoon Ket walked into a classroom. Storm was up front, putting some papers in order. She smiled at Ket as the teen sat down and looked around. Other teenage mutants were there, Ket saw an ice controller sitting by Rogue, a psychic, a teleporter, a walk walker, and others with powers that were obviously being controlled and learned about.
Rogue didn't see Ket come in, and Ket was glad she didn't. The newcomer sat in the very back row, next to two girls. One was a telekinetic, the other a wall walker. They looked at Ket for a moment and then started whispering to each other. Ket fingered her knife again. She could last anywhere with the knife. Anywhere. She got through hell with it, she could get through a high school.
The lesson began, and Ket pretended to listen as Storm taught a class about ancient Egypt. Then one of the girls, the wall walker, leaned over to Ket.
"Hi." She whispered. Ket looked at her and nodded. The girl studied her closely. "Are you really from hell?" The girl asked. Ket stared at her.
"Yes." Ket said, her voice hard. The girl looked surprised. She had another whispered conversation with her friend.
"My name is Terra. Who are you?" Ket looked at her.
"What is it with you people and who I am?" She asked. "My name is Ket. That's it. Ket." Terra looked surprised, and returned to her notes along with her friend. Ket decided Egypt would be a good place to be right then, and focused back on the lesson.
At lunch Ket followed everyone to the cafeteria, avoiding the adults as much as possible. She got food from the assembly line and sat at an empty table towards the back of the large room. She planned to eat alone, but Terra spotted her, and she and her friend came over and sat down.
"Hi Ket!" Terra said cheerfully. A few tables over the ice controller sat with Rogue. They spotted Ket and the other girls.
"Oh no, Terra's got her." Rogue said. "Bobbie, what do you think about Ket?"
The ice controller looked at the white and turquoise hared girl. "I don't know."
Ket looked harshly at the girl. "What did you call me?"
Terra looked at her. "Well, they said you came from hell, so you must be a demon, right? I mean, that's even what you said. I just thought-" but her friend, a mutant named Jenny, cut in.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" She asked, a big smile on her face. Ket glared at her unable to speak. She stood up, knocking over a glass of water.
"Watch out!" Terra said, laughing. "I heard water kills demons!" In a flash Ket's knife was out.
"And I heard demons kill bitches!" She screamed, and brought the blade down hard. It went right through the wood table as Terra screamed. Jenny fell backwards out of her chair. The whole lunchroom watched, scared of what the crazy newcomer would do. Storm and Scott rushed in, and Ket picked up her knife and put it away, running out of the room in a rage.
**************************************************************************** ******* Wow, that was interesting. Another cliffie, hope you don't mind. At this rate I'll probably have Chapter 5 up tomorrow anyway. Please r/r.
