Chapter 14

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing Kitty to smack into him. He grunted and pulled her forcefully into a clearing. There was a small hut in the center and Kitty suddenly felt her stomach churn uncomfortably.

~~Wait a little longer to use your powers, wait until the situation is a little more dangerous. But what if it's too late?~~

Pietro blinked a few times.

"Where's Kitty?" Rogue asked angrily, glaring at Pietro. Pietro gulped down the lump in his throat.

"I-I. . . I don't really know," he said, his head tilted to the ground.

"YOU DON'T KNOW!?" Kurt shouted, taking Pietro by the collar and jerking him forward. Pietro pushed him off.

"No," he said quietly. Rogue noticed the hurt in his tone.

"VHAT HAPPENED!? VHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Kurt screamed. Rogue stepped in front of Kurt.

"Shut up Kurt, let the guy explain," she said turning to Pietro, her arms folded under her chest, "Explain." Pietro nodded.

"Well um, Kitty was injured so we, the Brotherhood I mean, helped her along. She ended up falling in the river and I went after her," ~He looked rather embarrassed and flustered as he said this~ "It started to rain and we went into a cave and spent the night. When I woke up. . . . she was gone." Rogue was eying him skeptically. The story sounded so unbelievable but he sounded so convincing.

"Well do ya have anythin' that could tell us where Kitty is?" she asked a little anger in her tone. Pietro shook his head sadly. Kurt was glaring at Pietro.

"Well Maximoff, you better hope we find Keety, or you vill pay," he said venomously. Pietro suddenly appeared in front of Kurt. Both of them were giving eachother level glares.

"Keetynapper," Kurt said childishly. Pietro bared his teeth and jerked Kurt up by his collar easily with one hand.

"Listen Wagner," he growled through clenched teeth, "This is hard enough on me as it is! I would never do anything to hurt Kitty! I love her!" There was a stunned silence in which Kurt and Rogue stared at Pietro. It took Pietro a few seconds to realize what he himself had just said.

"Ya really do love her don'tcha?" Rogue asked quietly.

"Yeah," he said softly, almost as a whisper, "I do."
