Chapter 6
It was finally the end of this day. It was really dark outside. A van stopped in front of the mansion. The driver lowered his window.
Driver: In not so long, we'll take care of you muties. You'll wish you were never born.*Laugh*
The others in the van laughed and they left. Professor Xavier was sitting near his office's window. He opened his eyes.
Professor: I have a bad feeling.
In the Mansion:
Professor's voice: Ororo, Logan, Jean and Scott. Can you please come right now in my office.
In the public room, some students were listenning a movie with Jean and Scott, Marie and Ororo were playing cards with Logan smoking his cigar besides them. Jubilee entered the room and went to spoke with Ororo. She stood up.
Logan: What's wrong?
Ororo: Xavier wants to see us.
Logan: Oh.
He took an orange in the fruit basket and throw it right on Scott's head. He turned around visibly frustrated and Logan told him to come here. When all the adults were gone, Kitty stood up and went where Marie was. Marie was really absorbed by her card's game. Kitty sat besides her like someone who just there to have a fight, which was her goal.
Kitty: HEY!
Marie: What do you want?
Kitty: I wanna know something.
Marie: Like what?
Kitty: The girl who brutaly attacked Bobby.. Who is she?
Marie: Ah don't know, and even if Ah know Ah wouldn't tell you!
Kitty: Yeah..Right.. Tell me RIGHT NOW!!
Now everybody ,in the room, were looking at them.
Marie: Ah never saw her before!
Kitty: So you're trying to say that a girl came in the school, and without knowing you, attacked Bobby because he asked you politely to hand him his balloon.
Marvel and Jubilee were now moving towards them.
Marie: Well, he deserved it.
Kitty: You little...
She jumped on Marie, but Marvel stopped her just in time.Marie packed up her thing and went towards Xavier's office.
Xavier: I felt anger and violence in these persons. I'm afraid they're preparing an attack on the school.
Scott: If they're really preparing an attack on the school, we'll need the students to defend themselves.
Ororo: I think it'll be the best thing to do, an attack is usually with a lot of people.
Xavier: Tomorrow , right after the classes, I'll talk to them, in the auditorium.
Logan: I agree with that but they'll need to know how to defend themselves. And some of the students are..well not able to fight.
Ororo: Yeah. Some of them are too young or their gifts aren't really helpfull in those kind of situation.
Xavier: I'll take care of that. And announcing all of this tomorrow, now can you please excuse me, but someone is waiting for me.
They all stood up and went out of the office a little bit shocked about this news professor Xavier just told them. Logan was walking towards the public room when he saw Marie sitting on the floor crying.
Logan: Marie!! What's wrong?
Marie: Oh..Logan.*She wiped off her tears* Ah need to see Prof Xavier now..Sorry!
She stood up and went soo quickly in the office Logan wasn't able to stopped her.
She was now sitting besides professor Xavier, he gave her a kleenex.
Marie: Ah feel so useless and dangerous for the others. Ah think Ah'll better just leave.
Xavier: * taking her covered hand* Marie.. I'm not forcing you to stay and I'm certainly not forcing you to leave.. This is a place where mutant can feel loved and wanted by others like them. Please tell me what's really bothering you.
Marie: Ah just told you professor, Ah'm dangerous. Ah can fight like an X-men, Ah have no friends. They're afraid of me.
Xavier: I know that Kitty can be really mean, but today Bobby had his lesson, and believe me he won't bother you for a while.
Marie smiled a little bit.
Xavier: You know, Logan's sister is not the kind of superhero saving everybody in distress. She sensed in you the same powerfull strength , Logan and me sensed when we first met you. Please don't lose this strength.
Marie: Ah'll try..* Smiling a little bit more*
Xavier: Before you go, I found you another bedroom with 3 beds and there's nobody since 2 days. It's was a boy's room. You can take your things and go in this room. It's for you.
Marie: Oh! Thank you professor!!
She got out of the office. In the public room, Logan returned athis place but now looking really worried. Ororo was there.
Logan: Hey Ororo?
Ororo: Yes?
Logan: You know What's bothering Marie? She seems sad.
Ororo: Yes. Since she took Bobby's thoughts and he broke up, they're non-stop harassing her.
Logan: I feel guilty.
Ororo: Loagan *she took his hand* It's not your fault.
Logan: No, I have this strange feelings.
Marie was in her new bedroom, putting her stuff in her drawer. Someone knocked at the door.
Marie: It's open!
She was suprise to see Logan.
Marie: Hey! Logan What's wrong..
Logan: Well, I have the feeling everythings, happening to you is my fault.
Marie: No! No.. It's mine. You have nothin to do with that.
She gave him a hug.
Marie: Don't be that sad for me.. Big Brother!
Logan: * Smiling* Yeah, speaking of family, I heard you saw my sister once again.
Marie: Yeah. But this time Bobby saw her much more nearer than me.
Logan: *laugh* Hey I heard about that!
Marie: By the way, Where is she?
Logan: You know what.. I have no idea.. Probably in the lake.
Marie: Why are you so sure about that?
Logan: I heard some noises earlier.
Marie: Oh.
He turned near the window. Then smiled again.
Logan: and she's still there. So I got to go. See ya tomorrow! Good Night!
Marie: Good Night!
Marie closed the lights and near the lake Vaughn is sitting on the beach staring at the water.
