**yawn** Man am I tired or what!? Well, I've decided to update now. I know
it's late and all but I just came up with some plans for this story. I'm
expecting it to be a little longer than Fallen Angels. Okay, time to write!
Chapter Six: Search and Rescue
"We looked everywhere Remy. We looked in the café, we looked in all of our rooms, we checked the gift shop, hell! We even checked the lingerie store by the mini mall!"
"Day had sum good stuff ova dere." said Remy mixed with a laugh.
Pietro slumped down in his chair. They were both back at the café where they first looked. Everything was getting dull since it was getting late. Pietro glanced at his watch.
"It's midnight. And it's frickin' cold out there. I definitely don't think Pryde would be there."
Remy shot Pietro a glaring look as he stood up. "We're gonna go check whether ya' like it or not."
Meanwhile, back at Black Ice Cavern..
Kitty felt like her life was slipping away at the very moment. She didn't want to move since she was already shivering, she felt no need to get up and do nothing. Her eyes glanced over to Rogue who was tossing and turning in her sleep. She bent her head down a little bit, trying to stick her lips and nose underneath her coat. But it was no use. She began to grow weak from the thought of sleeping in a place like this. Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the cave, making some icicles stab to the snowed ground. The girls shot up, and looked from where they started. A shadow lurked around.
"R-Rogue..l-let's m-move somewhere." chattered Kitty as she stood up slowly.
Rogue nodded and started moving behind them until Kitty phased them through a large rock. They looked around for a moment and saw a large gap by the wall and rock.
"Yuh don't think he'll come through do yuh?"
Another roar echoed through making several rocks fall. Then the girls started running when they saw the large rock moving. As they ran deeper into the cave, the shadow kept moving on. Passing every obstacle Kitty and Rogue would go through. When they were going to stop for a break, a roar caused a large rock to fall on Rogue, knocking her straight to the ground. Kitty rushed to her side, trying to wake her up.
"Rogue!! W-wake up!! He's gonna get us.if we don't like, move!"
Rogue was knocked out alright. She wouldn't move or anything as Kitty shook her a little harder. The shadow was lurking closer each second. Her heart began to beat faster as the shadow roared and scowled.
"Rogue please! I'm not leaving you behind!"
Kitty pushed herself against a wall, trying to calm herself as tears slowly slid down her cheeks. (Where's Pietro when you need him most!!?)
Back with Maximoff and LeBeau.
They stood upon the peak, looking down. Remy pointed out some snow mobiles that could fit two people in one. Luckily, there were two of them. Pietro immediately took the silver and black one as Remy hopped onto the green and turquoise one. They both turned on the lights and looked down the peak once more.
"You actually think they're down there?" mumbled Pietro as he pulled his goggles on.
Remy took his sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on. "Yep. It's de only place we didn't look."
A grin came across Pietro's lips as they raced down as fast as the snowmobiles could. Remy looked over to Pietro.
"How is dis thing easy to control!?"
Pietro laughed as he stroked a hand through his hair. "It's like jet skiing!"
The Cajun sighed and followed the speed demon down the hill. The winds became more harsh as the snow started to fade away. It couldn't have been more clearer for a strange night like this. Suddenly, Pietro swerved around and stopped at the cavern entrance.
Inside the cavern...
Kitty slammed her fists to the ground, ready to give up all hope. She knew she couldn't phase through. She'd just end up leaving Rogue behind or they'll end back up in the snow. Plus, Pietro wouldn't even bother to come save her. She knew he couldn't possibly like someone like her, Kitty Pryde. He just thinks too much of himself anyway.
"Come out come out wherever you are!!"
Kitty's eyes widened when the shadowed was just several feet away. She closed her eyes tight, knowing that anytime now, she'll be injured or something. Finally, she stood up and raced through the shadow. When Kitty turned to attack, a fist came flying at her stomach, knocking her into the large rock. She could barely breathe. That punch wasn't like any other. She winced as she tired to take deep breaths. Kitty slumped down to the snowed ground, knowing she couldn't defeat someone with such brute strength. Suddenly, an explosion was heard ahead of her. Kitty opened her eyes a bit and saw a dark shadow crouching in front of her. She shook and pushed herself against the rock.
"Get away from me!! Leave me alone!!" she cried.
She felt warm hands tightening on her arms as she kept her eyes closed, thinking that her death was coming quickly.
"Kitty, open your eyes!"
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Pietro sitting in front of her. Kitty looked at him for a moment and noticed he was really concerned. Not like his usual 'I'm better than any of you!' attitude. She threw herself into his arms, trying to calm her nerves.
"Pietro, I'm so glad you came! I don't know what would happen if you didn't."
"Hey Magz boy, we betta' get outta here. Sabertooth won't stay down fer long."
Remy lifted Rogue into his arms as Pietro helped Kitty up. They all ran out of the cavern and hopped onto the snowmobiles. Pietro helped Kitty on as Remy already drove up the hill just a little ahead of them. Quickly, they sped up with the Cajun and Southern Belle.
"Hey, Ummmm I think we better like, speed up." Shouted Kitty.
Pietro looked behind them and saw Sabertooth with his own little snowmobile coming closer to them. He shifted the gears and sped up ahead of Remy's.
"We'll meet you at the cabins!"
Remy waved and charged up a handful of cards. Kitty stared behind, watching Remy throw cards at Sabertooth as he collapsed to the cold snow. She couldn't think of anyway to thank them.
Finally, they stopped in front of the cabin and hopped off of the snowmobile. Kitty stumbled a little, wincing at the pain in her stomach.
"He got you good."
Kitty looked up angrily at Pietro who was grinning devilishly. She turned her head aside and walked into the cabin. The silver haired boy followed her inside and watched her fall onto the couch, exhausted from what had happen. As Kitty kept her eyes closed for a moment, Pietro watched her try and sleep. Suddenly, she opened one eye and looked at him evilly.
"You know, your staring isn't like, helping."
He got up and walked into the kitchen, leaving Kitty on the couch.
"You know how to cook don't you?"
He shot her a dumb look.
"Then who like, cooks for you!?"
"Oh, Freddy does all that. Do you know how?"
Kitty nodded as she sat up. "Yeah."
"Then make yourself useful Pryde and make some."
"Why don't you use that microwavable crap in the cupboard?" she mumbled.
"I don't feel like it."
"5 year old." She mumbled angrily.
"What'd you call me Pryde?"
"You heard me Maximoff! You have the tolerance of a 5 year old!"
"You're getting' me really ticked off Pryde. Now, cook something!!"
"No! Use the microwavable stuff! If you want something, then like, get it!!"
"You're so damn lucky I saved your ass back there!"
"Why didn't you just leave me then!? Why didn't you!!?"
Pietro grew silent. He couldn't come up with any reasons except.
"Remy made me. We heard from Lance that some girls were caught in Black Ice Cavern."
Kitty stood up, she knew Pietro would say that. Remy was one of those guys with charm and had that caring vibe. But from the look of Pietro, he was snobby. Maybe even inhumane if you think about it. She walked into the kitchen and took out the microwavable pasta from the cupboard and handed to it Pietro. "Is that your only reason Pietro?" her voice grew softer.
Pietro looked to the side for a moment, trying to avoid Kitty's eyes. As he was about to place the box down, Kitty kissed him lightly on the lips and walked out of the cabin. Pietro quickly placed the box down and opened the cabin door to see Kitty walking over to Rogue's cabin. Suddenly, something ran into him, making him fall down to the floor. The door slammed shut as Kitty hopped up, breathing heavily. "What the hell!?" he shouted as he backed up. Kitty looked back for a moment. "I guess you can say, that we're like, stuck in here for a while." Pietro stopped for a moment and shifted himself to the counter. "What? Whadda you mean we're stuck here?" "We're stuck okay!! The doors are totally blocked with snow and I can't like, find Rogue or Remy anywhere!" She slumped to the ground, trying not to panic as Pietro sighed. (Oh boy, I'm stuck inside this cabin with one person I'd regret to ever be partners with..............)
Oh fancy, now they're stuck inside the cabin together! If you wanna know what had happened, you have to wait for an update! Well, the usual please and thanx!
