Chapter 9:Movies, Visons and Secerets
A small smile tugged at the edge of my mouth as we walked out of Blockbuster,who would've known that they still had Gremlins?
"It's good to know Mystique's in Japan and we've got the house all to ourselves."
"Yeah Pietro,you say that when your scraping Toad off the wall."
I said and turned up the radio.
"Watch the road!"
"Now I see why you can't keep your license for long."
I just grinned and pulled the jeep back onto the road as 'My world' by Avril Lavigne came on.
"Can you turn that off?"
"We're home."
The boys automaticly jumped out and ran into the house,movies in hand.With a sigh I pulled out the key and followed
"We have a job before we can watch a movie,remember?"
"I can do it myself."
I grinned as Toad ran upstairs and slamed the bathroom door.
"Who got My Favorite Martian??"
"Toad."
"And Gremlins?"
"Me."
I snapped,taking the tape.
"Ok,who got The 13th Ghost?"
"Lance."
Sounds of vomiting come from the downstairs bathroom.
"O..K,I know who got Inspecter Gadjet.Where's Wanda?"
"Still in her room."
"You have to go to Driver's Ed,Bittersweet."
"Hey,I just noticed."
"What?"
"Saphire's missing."
"Let the water gun have some time to herself,besides,she said she was going to the Acolytes to see your sister."
"Hey Wanda."
"Who managed to get Toad into the shower?"
"He went of his own freewill."
"Yeah,right."
"You know,you never did tell us how your related to Gambit."
"He's my cousin,thought you could've guessed that."
"What about your mother?"
I stared at Lance and lowered my head,though never in my life had I cried,I could feel the salty water well up in my eyes.
"That's bit far Lance."
I had to say,I was shocked Pietro had said that,but what was a real shock was when he put his arms around me in a comfronting slightly protective manner.I closed my eyes as memory hit me.
The rain was harshly beating against the window as a pale figure hugged
itself,tring to cry out the pain from the battle that was being fought inside of her,a neckless glowing around her neck,the stone pressed to her
heart.
"Please,"
The stone glowed as the door burst open,a 13 year old with
red/orange/purple hair stood there,worry skeatched on her face as she looked at the other girl,the blonde/dark brown haired figure was shaking
vilontly.
"Blade,fight it."
A male voice said a he came into veiw,silver/blonde hair hidden under the
bucket like helmet.
A scream echoed through out the night as blood filled the floor.
"Pietro?"
I asked,cracking one eye open and was met by a pair of saphire blue eyes.
"You've been out long enough."
I just closed my eyes again as a Toad came downstairs.That dream,it had been the first time I turned to Darkness because of pain.The scarlet haired girl was always there when I was hurt,she was my other half and it I tried to,Icould hear her voice in my head.Her voice was alot different than mine,I was often told I had the voice of Sango from the english anime Inuyasha,her's was more of a Kikyo.
"What are we watching first?"
"The 13th Ghost,you don't have to watch this one Toad,Fred.But Gremlins is one we're all gonna watch."
"K."
I opened my eyes as Lance put the movie in.Pietro had me in his lap and I wasn't moving anytime soon.
My eyes close just as the kids found the basement,I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes Wanda was close to screaming. The credits were rolling by the screen.
"What happened?"
"All the spirits were released,the last one looked like a banshee."
I looked up at Pietro,he wasn't as freaked out looking as his sister but was a bit pale.
"Okay,Gremlins.TOAD,FRED GET IN HERE."
"They went outside and said that they didn't want to watch either Gremlins or The 13th Ghost."
I looked up at Saphire as she sat down on the couch with Lance and Wanda.
"Okay,let's start the tape."
We were up well pass midnight watching movies,Toad and Frad came in half into Gremlins,I think I fell asleep at the end of Inspecter Gadjet along with Pietro.
A young girl walked into a graveyard,her blackish saphire eyes dull as her brownish white hair blew from the red scrunchie.She stopped at a grave with
C.Mist ingraved on the head stone. From the spark in her eyes someone would say she knew the Mist.She ran her
hand over the date.
"Year 1970 to 1988."
My eyes snapped open,who was that girl?A small smile pulled at my lips as I found Pietro's face about 3 inches from mine.
^Bl-a-de,your gonna have to get up soon,you haven't used the bathroom all night.^
'Alright,Dark,soon as I can move his arm.'
I answered,and winced as I fell to the floor.
"Ow,gotta watch that."
I bolted to the downstairs bathroom.I'd have to go to the graveyard later today,from the research I had done,my mother had lived in this town.I cursed as I felt eyes on my back as soon as I went into the kitchen.
"Pietro."
"Your arm."
I ignored him and proceded to the frige,but froze halfway there.
"How'd you get this scar Blade."
There was something inside of me willing to tell someone,wanting to.
"None of your buissnes."
Anyone but him,the stubern speed demon,the oponnet when it came to speed,though he won me out in family. I pulled my arm out of his grasp and walked out of the room.I ran up to my room,I had always been told I was a lonewolf,that I wouldn't run from my problems,it was all a lie,I was a lonely wolf wanting to be accepted into a pack,and I did run from my problems,but only two people knew this,I and Darkness. I layed down on my bed and let a wimper escape,and,for once in my live,felt the warm liquid flow freely down my cheeks.For the first time in my life I cried,all the pain,sarrow and suffering broke the dam that had been there since birth.I cried myself to sleep,and no one bothered to wake me for the rest of the day.
I woke up around 8,guess a life of only two hours of sleep a day finally took it's toll.
'What are you doing in here Pietro?"
"You've got a fever,Blade."
"What?"
^Stuipd,he said you've got a fever.^
"How high?"
"About 100.1 ,you had us all worried when you didn't come down for breakfast or lunch.Oh yeah,almost forgot,Lance arranged a fight with the Xavier kids."
"K."
He left the room as I stood up and stumbled over to the closet,my 'costume' was made up of a skin tight black body suit and a pair of jeans.I pulled my hair up in a pony tail as I walked out the hall.The others were already downstairs,including Saphire,who was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jeans,her sky blue hair was up in a bun and her bangs had been pulled away from her red eyes.
"By the way,the X-men have a new recuirt."
I nodded and walked out the door behind the group,I had a bad feeling about this.
We arived at a abandonded construction site on the outskirts of town just as the X-men got there,I could easily point all of them out.The one with brown hair in a black and blue body suit was Kathrine Pryde,also known as Shadowcat,the red head with green eyes and a black and green body suit was Jean Grey,the one with red/brown/white hair was Marie Darkhlome,or Rogue,the guy with brown hair was Scott Summers,or Cyclops,The blue guy was Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler,a dark skinned boy was Evan Daniels/Spyke,and a glossy brown haired girl who must have been the new recuirt.
"Bittersweet,you take the new one,Marine,you take Shadowcat,we'll get the others"
I and Marine nodded after I pointed out Shadowcat.
It was Quicksilver against Spyke,Avalanch againt Cyclops,Scarlet Witch against Jean,Toad against Nightcrawler,Rogue against Blob,Marine against Shadowcat,and me against the new one.
I and Darkness let lose a scream as a bolt of electricity ran through our body,the chain the the neckless breaking as Darkness's voice dulled,I felt faint in my own head as Darkness tried to switch.
^Blade,get a hold of yourself,it isn't over yet,you have to wake up.^
I tried,but fell into a black void.Pietro's voice pulled me out,I opened my eyes and saw the one,Rogue,by him as he fell.
"Pietro."
I wispered,I could feel the brown haired girls electric purple eyes on my back as I ran over to Rogue.A soft sound of a sword being pulled out of it's sheath was all that told her there was someone behind her,I applied a bit of presure as I hit her callarbone with the thick wax sheath,I repeated the same act with Spyke. I bent down next to the white haired teen.
^He's the only one you'll allow close,isn't he?^
'I guess..'
I let Lance take Pietro to the jeep when the X-men were gone.
As soon as we got back to the boarding house Pietro was put in his room.
Around midnight I walked down the hall into his room.I fell asleep at the foot of his bed.
A small smile tugged at the edge of my mouth as we walked out of Blockbuster,who would've known that they still had Gremlins?
"It's good to know Mystique's in Japan and we've got the house all to ourselves."
