Chapter Thirteen: Ambushed

Pietro placed Kitty on the couch then walked into the bedroom. When he arrived in the bathroom, he dug around for a gauze pad and some medical tape.
"Pietro?"
He looked up at the mirror in front of him and saw Kitty standing by the door. She slowly walked up until she felt arms wrapped around her. Kitty felt a cold breeze and knew that she was in Pietro's arms.
"You okay now?"
She nodded as she loosened Pietro's grip. She walked over and looked into the mirror after grabbing her night wear from the nightstand.
"I'm going to take a shower now."
Kitty phased into the bathroom as Pietro headed out to the living room area. He sat on the couch, thinking of why Sabertooth would've came to the "ball". Suddenly, the door opened. Pietro looked towards it and saw the door opening to nothing but the ice cold breezes and snow. Then an explosion was heard, making the cabin shake softly. Pietro stood up quickly as Kitty came into the room, looking at him desperately.
"NOOO!!"
They quickly rushed out and found Rogue on her knees crying, covering her face with her gloves hands. Kitty started to shiver a bit since she was just in a sports bra with her loose light blue jeans. Pietro handed her his coat and looked up. There was the mansion smoking up a storm as the snow fell down quick. Then a shuffling sound was heard. Rogue had collapsed to the snow, with her eyes closed tight. Kitty leaned down and tried to pull her up. But she resisted.
"Come on Rogue. He's gonna come back."
"He's pretty sneaky. But not as sneaky as me." Said Pietro.
Kitty shot him a look. "Not now Maximoff."
Suddenly, a blur came past then cold hands with placed on her almost bare shoulders. Kitty shot up and glared at Pietro who was grinning.
"I told you Pryde."

"Pietro, please."

"Oh shit."

"What?" Kitty looked ahead and saw Scott, Evan, Jean, and Kurt running towards them.

Kitty finally got Rogue up and saw her clenching something in her pocket as a warm tear ran down one more time. Scott narrowed his eyes on Pietro as the others helped Kitty with Rogue. "You did this didn't you?!" he asked angrily.

"Me? Do THAT!? Sorry Summers. Explosions aren't my thing this month."

"Well you're part of the acolytes aren't you!? Your teammate was in there ruining everything!"

Scott walked up to Pietro as he crossed his arms. Their eyes bored into each others evilly, making it seem as any moment now, fists would go flying. Kitty looked up and watched them, hoping none of that would happen. "I didn't even know he was going to do that!"

"Right Maximoff. You're really asking for it."

Scott raised a fist up until Jean came from behind and held it back.

"Scott! Stop it! He might be telling the truth!" she shouted.

Pietro just stood there. Knowing Scott wasn't able to punch him. Kitty just stood there watching as Evan and Kurt helped Rogue into her cabin. Suddenly, as Scott continued to struggle, his sunglasses fell off releasing a red blast towards Pietro. "Pietro!!" Kitty cried as she ran over. She looked around frantically to find no sign of him. She clenched her teeth then turned to Scott, giving him a cold stare. "Scott.. can't you just believe someone once and while!?"
"Kitty, should I remind you that he's our enemy!? Do you know what he could be planning right now?!"
Tears flowed down her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from her own teammate. Her own friend.
"No Scott! I don't wanna hear it! I don't care what you have to say!"
Kitty stomped to the back of the cabin, heading for the back door. Scott slumped a bit and turned to Jean with a failure look.
"I screwed up huh?"
She nodded then swayed a bit. "Big time. I think Kitty's right. Pietro does seem to really care for her. I guess."
Then a piercing scream was heard. Kitty ran out from the back and ran into the cabin. She slammed the door shut and she slumped to the ground, panting hard. Scott raced up to the door and started to pound on it.
"Kitty!! What's wrong!?"
"Scott!! Look!"
He turned and saw Sabertooth holding Pietro up by the collar of his shirt while he dragged Remy along the snow unconscious.
"Dammit Sabertooth!! Let go!" shouted Pietro.
Suddenly, Kitty phased through the door and Scott then looked over to where she heard Pietro's voice. Her cheeks were a bit tear stained.
"Pietro?"
Sabertooth finally let go of Pietro. He ran his hand through his hair and grinned at Kitty as she ran over to him. She thrusted herself to him, making him stumble a bit.
"Ouuu. Ouu. okay Kitty.. Not so hard." he mumbled. He looked down and saw her resting on his chest again. "Worried about me again?"
She gave him a dumb look. "Well like, hello! You just totally disappeared when Scott tried to shoot you."
Scott crossed his arms and arched an eyebrow at Pietro. Pietro did the same back. Just as Scott was about to say something, Jean placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Scott, I think we should trust Pietro. Now let's get going. I'm tired."
Kitty watched them leave as the snow lightened up a bit. She closed her eyes then saw Remy lying on the ground sleeping. Kitty lightly pushed away from Pietro and walked over to Rogue's cabin.
"Yeah?" asked Rogue when she answered it.

"You have a surprise over there." Kitty responded.

Rogue glanced over, thinking it wouldn't be anything. Suddenly, her mouth slowly opened as her eyes widened with excitement. Then she ran over and slid over to Remy's side.
"Remy!! Yuhr alive! ........... Remy? IS HE DEAD!!?"
Sabertooth shook his head and dropped the collar of Remy's overcoat. His eyes opened a bit as Rogue watched him carefully.
"Okay so... why did you come and attack us?" asked Kitty, trying not to make Sabertooth mad.
He gave all of them cold looks. "Because, Gambit and Quicksilver need to come back."
Pietro sighed and crossed his arms. "To the acolytes?"
Sabertooth nodded.
"Can we leave tomorrow? Remy iz tired." Said Remy as he sat up.
He nodded once more. "Be ready by 2:00."

There, that's the end of that chapter! I'm not done yet either. From this next chapter on, it's all humor and romance. There isn't really action unless you count them attacking each other for the last cupcake. Well, you know the drill. And thanx you! ~Kitty
