Chapter Thirteen: A Promise is a Promise

On their way back to the area where Todd and Wanda was, a tremor started. Pietro glared at Lance as he looked at him innocently.
"Will you stop that!??"
"That's not me!" snapped Lance.
Lance opened the gate they closed and saw Wanda and Todd trying to find a way out. Wanda turned and saw Kitty in Pietro's arms.
"Kitty?"
Wanda ran over and held her wrist for a moment then looked up at her brother.
"She's not dead is she?"
Pietro shook his head as Wanda sighed with relief. She quickly glared at Pietro.
"Good, cuz then you'd be dead too."
"Hey yo! I found a way out!"
Wanda, Pietro, and Lance turned behind them. There was Todd trying to pull rocks out of a hole to make it bigger. Wanda turned to Lance as if he was the only way out. He sighed, raised a hand, and began shaking along with the tremor. The rocks collapsed to the ground, clearing their way but making it hard to go. Pietro dashed over as fast as he could as the others hopped from one large rock to another. Finally, when they arrived, they continued to escape. Wanda turned to Pietro again.
"So! What happened!?"
Pietro looked away for a moment. "He escaped."
"HE WHAT?! You let him escape!?"
Pietro glared at Wanda angrily. "Will you wait for me to explain later when we get back!!?"
His voice was sharper than he had intended it to be. But at least it made Wanda quiet until they got out.

~Back at the B-Hood!~

Pietro was upstairs in his room, making sure Kitty was sleeping alright while everyone else was happy to know they got Kitty back. But they were also discussing about what's going to happen.
"No! We're not calling the X-Geeks to warn them! This is our problem and we're going to solve it!" shouted Lance as he tossed a brownie in the garbage.
Todd hopped on the table searching for flies.
"And maybe we'll get some respect yo."
His tongue shot out in front of Wanda's face to grab a fly. She slumped in her chair, hoping Todd would get full off of one fly.
"You won't get it by doing that." She mumbled.
Pietro walked down the stairs then went into the kitchen. Wanda and the others watched him carefully with suspicion. Then Pietro walked back out and sat on the chair by the television.
"So are we gonna go to these ruins?" asked Lance impatiently.
Pietro yawned. "Well, we gotta sleep don't we? I need my beauty sleep you know."
Wanda mumbled under her breath then walked up the stairs. Todd stood up and hopped behind her.
"Are you going to sleep cuddles? Lemme tuck ya' in!"
Suddenly, Todd fell backwards, down to the very bottom of the steps as Wanda entered, then slammed her door shut. Lance and Pietro let out a laugh as they walked up the stairs before Todd.
"Well, I'm gonna get some shut-eye now."

~In Pietro's Room. Midnight~

Pietro was sleeping quietly as the curtains on the window top flew rapidly every now and then. But something just couldn't sleep. Kitty was finally awake. She gently held onto Pietro's hand as she looked out the window. She had this empty feeling inside as if something inside of her just disappeared. Without thinking, Kitty slid from under the covers, slipping slowly away from Pietro's hand, and walked over to the opened window. The shivering cold breezes felt good against her face as the moon glittered. Kitty began humming a sweet lullaby as she sat on the window ceil. She gently closed her eyes and let the breezes blow her hair gently. Suddenly, she felt cold arms wrapped around her waist. Kitty looked to her side and saw Pietro listening carefully to her lullaby.
"Pietro."

"You're up early."

She let out a fake 'hah' and looked ahead of them.

"Kitty, is there something wrong?"

Kitty quickly turned to Pietro with tears slowly watering up her eyes.

"You promised."

Pietro gave her a shocking look for a moment.

"You promised Pietro, that you would protect me and wouldn't let him touch me."

"Kitty. I.."

"I know. It wasn't your fault."

"I promise, that no one will"

Silence.

"It was horrible! They changed me into that bikini crap and then froze me inside that creepy lab chamber and everything! I missed you so much!"

Suddenly, Pietro narrowed his eyes by the park. A group of people started heading towards their way. To his surprise, it was the X-Men, Scott, Kurt, Rogue, Evan, Jean, Ray, and Bobby. Kitty looked off the corner of her eye and saw them.
"I think we better go." Whispered Kitty.
Pietro looked at her for a moment. "But don't you want to go back to the institute?"
Kitty placed her hands on her head and closed her eyes shut. Pietro backed up, and placed his hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her down. Tears started coming down her eyes again, showing that she was in pain.
"Kitty! What's wrong!?"

"Pietro..it's coming back!"

"What is?"

Then it hit him.

~Flashback~

"Since you are Magneto's son. But I warn you now, the child may turn to her possessed self anytime. Bring back the teardrop by tomorrow by midnight."

~End of Flashback~

Pietro tried to calm Kitty down by holding her until she shoved him away. Kitty stumbled around the room, trying to find someway to stop the possessed side from taking over her again. Pietro reached a hand towards her until she slapped it away.
"Kitty..."
She shook her head in disagreement. "No, stay away from me. I'm too dangerous for anyone to be around."
Pietro gave off a fake laugh to brighten the mood. "Oh come on Kitty, I like dangerous girls!"
Pietro turned and heard voices getting closer and closer every minute.

"Scott! Don't just go inside!!"

"She's in trouble Jean!"

"Stop being stupid!! I'll try and contact her."

Pietro's eyes widened. He guessed that if Jean tried to get inside Kitty's head, Kitty might just let her possessed side go off. He ran out of the room and slammed on Lance's door. Lance opened the door furiously and tried to punch Pietro. He ducked in time then came back up.
"What.do you want this early?"
"It's Kitty. She's going possessed again and the physic X-Geek is trying to get into her head!"
Lance's eyes widened in fear. "They're here?! Right now!!?"
Pietro nodded until pounding was heard at the door. Wanda popped her head out of her door and stared evilly at the two.
"What the hell is happening?!"
Then a scream was heard from Pietro's room. Wanda rushed out and saw Kitty, still with her eyes closed, trying to escape from Evan's hands.
"Kitty, everything's gonna be alright! Just come with me!"
Then a quick breeze came behind Evan. He felt a tap on his shoulder so he turned around, but ended up getting punched.
"Don't you know how to knock Daniels?"
Suddenly, Kitty rushed out of the room. Evan stood up and punched back at Pietro. Wanda took a peek in then rushed out after Kitty down the stairs.

~Outside~

The wisp breezes guided Wanda out to find Kitty standing in the middle of the yard. What was strange was that she wasn't struggling anymore. She stood there, nothing was bothering her.
"Kitty?"
Wanda walked towards her a bit more. Trying not to shiver as the harsh breezes passed.
"Kitty, please, come back inside. We can help you."
She walked a bit closer until Kitty turned a bit to her shoulder. Wanda froze as another swift breeze brushed by. Kitty's eyes were glowing a strange neon yellow color. Same as the ones back at the lab. Pietro quickly dashed out and stopped behind Wanda.

"Oh.no."

Wanda slightly turned a bit to hear Pietro. "What's wrong with her?"

Pietro's eyes widened in fear as Kitty grabbed a leaf off of the tree. "She's possessed again."

Wanda turned immediately. She cringed at the thought of Kitty being so guilty of many crimes.

"What?"
Pietro watched Kitty carefully as she charged the green leaf.

"Mastermind said that she could return to her possessed self anytime."

"So.ya' remembered."

Pietro and Wanda's heads turned to their right. Out of shadows was a guy with blonde reddish flaming hair with a white shirt covered by a red Hawaiian shirt (nothing but red) and dark blue baggy jeans. Pietro raised an eyebrow, wondering why he would be here.

"Pyro.what are you doing here?"

Pyro shrugged then looked to Kitty.

"I thought Kitty was cured so I came to apologize."

Wanda just snapped. "Apologize!? How can you apologize for kidnapping her like that!!?"

"It wasn't me!!" Pyro snapped back. He regained composure. "Plus, I wanted to tell you guys sumthin'."

Pietro settled down a bit. From the look in Pyro's green eyes, he was serious.

"What did you want to tell us?"

"Magz didn't make Kitty this way just because. He made her this way for the teardrop."

Pietro looked at him with confusement. "But, she had the teardrop in the first place. Why make her this way when you already have access to it?"

Pyro shook his head. "No, that teardrop was an identical decoy. The real teardrop is a legendary gem that supposedly controls all the natural waters. But the one yer father gave ya' was a fake."

Wanda shrugged. "Big whoop! What about it?"

"Legend has it that Kitty is related to the owner of the actual teardrop. The owner was a beautiful maiden. Like you and Kitty, she too had a boyfriend. This man handed her the gem before he left on his journey. For some reason, the Sheila decided to hang around the cliff through night and day, waiting for her love to come back. But he never did. Since then, she's grown to dislike him for his own mistakes. Finally, one night, she made a wish for the teardrop. To control the seas, to be with her love."

Wanda quickly cut in. "What happened?"

Pyro eyed Wanda for a moment then went back to his story.

"The teardrop was something that was threat to lives everywhere. Although, the maiden didn't know that. So after she made her wish, the maiden died immediately after her wish."

Pietro blinked in amazement. "But why did she die though?"

"Because she said that she wanted to be with her love correct? Well, when she made the wish, she didn't know her love was already dead. So when she wished to be with her love, she died, making her wish come true."

"But what about the oceans thing?" asked Wanda.

"That wish also came true. When she died, not only did her soul follow her love, but the maiden supposedly controls whoever holds the teardrop in their clutches."

"But how did I get possessed? I never actually 'had' the teardrop."

"Magz somehow used its power along with Mastermind's. That's all I know."

Suddenly, Kitty turned to Pyro angrily.

"You know nothing!!!" she shouted.

With that, she threw the charged lead down, creating a wildfire circling around Wanda and Pietro. Pyro stood and shook his head.

"I need you to follow Kitty to the Lunatic Garden! It's a ruin by the cliff! You can't miss it!!"

Wanda stomped over to where Pyro was as he began controlling the flames.

"Dammit Pyro!! Get us out of here!!"

Pyro moved his hand swiftly to the left, opening the flames up for Wanda and Pietro to move out of the way. They watched him for a moment as he clutched his fists tight. Quickly, he lashed to them. "Well!? What are ya' waitin' for?! Go save her before the maiden kills her!!"

Oh look, another cliff hanger, just for you! Oh and I'd like to thank Jules for her wonderful idea. I decided to make Kitty related to the past owner of the teardrop just so then there's a past connection. Well, reviews please!!
