Chapter 8

Kitty dressed herself as pretty as was possible and for her that was DAMN pretty. Her long auburn hair was resting gently on her shoulders, neatly framing her face. She wore some mascara to bring out the blue of her eyes and a light purple eyeshadow. Her lips were accentuated with a bit of cherry lips gloss and her cheeks were all ready naturally a beautiful pink. She was wearing a pair of tight dark blue jeans and white blouse to match.

She smiled at the results in the mirror. Today was one day that she was NOT going to think about anything except how happy she was. She raced down the stairs and practically leapt into her chair. She hadn't been down to eat breakfast in nearly three weeks and that of course earned quizzical stares form all the X-men. Instead of drawing attention to the fact they were staring at her she decided to ignore it.

"Good Morning!" she said cheerfully, then began to eat her food. Rogue, who was sitting next to her, leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"I take it your little visit with Pietro wasn't a total lost. Kitty beamed at her and continued eating her food. She didn't care what the others thought about her dating a Brotherhood member; all she knew was that she loved him.

**** Kitty inhaled sharply and exhaled. She was so nervous to actually TALK to Pietro. She was too rapped up in thinking to realize she was already in the hallway leading to Pietro's locker. She saw him standing there putting his books into his locker. He was so handsome and Kitty suddenly felt the confidence drain from her. She quickly turned on heel about to walk away.

"Going somewhere?" his lips brushed her ear and it sent a tingle down her spine and she smiled. She turned to Pietro smiling weakly.

"Uh-er-um," Kitty stuttered and suddenly Pietro's lips were over hers, preventing her from speaking. She smiled. It had been such a long time since she had actually smiled because she was happy. Pietro pulled away.

"May I walk you to your next class?" Pietro teased. She giggled. It had been a long time since she had done that too. Nothing could ever ruin this perfect day.

It was the end of the day and Kitty was at her locker, putting her books into her back pack. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she smiled, leaning backward into Pietro's chest.

"Hey gorgeous, need a ride home?" he asked smiling down at her. She nodded.

"Let me go tell Scott I have a ride," she said quietly, kissing him on the lips and running off to find Kurt.

She came to a halt beside Kurt who was putting his backpack on.

"Like, Kurt could you do me a favor?" she asked. Kurt turned to her, grinning widely.

"Of course Keety, what is it?" he asked.

"Like, could you tell Scott I found a ride home? Like, thanks bye!" and she ran off to go find Pietro.

Kitty felt a fierce grip on her arm, slowly, agonizingly twisting her around to face the evil person. The pain was unbearable and Kitty felt the tears threatening. Suddenly her captor spun her around to face him. Her face was inches away from his, his eyes glowing a fiery red. The alcohol on his breath made her dizzy and nauseous and she felt as if she were going to puke. Lance was grinning down at her and slowly he gripped harder and harder until she couldn't take it anymore. . .

Kitty cried out and sat up in her bed breathing heavily, the tears streaming down her cheeks. The rain was beating down on the mansion and thunder boomed in the distance. The dream had been so vivid and she had felt as if Lance were actually there. She buried her face in her hands. She had to see someone who knew so she could seek comfort. Only one name came to mind. Pietro. She threw on her light blue sweater, and tenni shoes not bothering to put her hair up. She quietly fazed out of the mansion and raced away down the driveway and fazed through the gates.

The Boarding house wasn't that far, but the growing intensity of the rain was a problem. She wished she would have brought a thicker jacket, and by the time she reached to the barding house's driveway she was soaked. She ran as quickly as she could to the doorway and lifted her hand as if to knock, but thought better of it. What if Lance answered the door? After all it was 4:00 in the morning and he would be upset. She shuddered and tried to remember which window was Pietro's. She went around the side of the house and crossed out Lance's window in her mind. There was another window beside to Lance's but she remembered that being Todd's window. She walked to the other side of the house, rain pouring down on her all the while. She saw two windows. ~~One is Freddy's one is Pietro's. Danm why didn't I pay more attention!?~~ She saw a window with a pair of maroon curtains and a window with no curtains. Pietro liked to sleep in and needed his privacy so she guessed it was his window. Reluctantly she took a handful of pebbles and picked one up into her hand. Carefully she took aim and tossed the pebble at the window. It hit, making a soft little crackle. She scowled and took a small handful of rocks and threw them as hard as possible at his window. She was very irritable and wet so she didn't care if she had to break his window to get him up. It hit with a series of loud crackles. The window slowly slid open and she held her breath. When Pietro handsome face peered out of the window she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pietro!" she yelled as softly as possible. Pietro looked down at her and gasped.

"Kitty what the hell are you doing here!? Wait nevermind I'm coming
down to get you!" Pietro yelled and suddenly in a warm rush of air
Kitty was sitting on Pietro's bed. He was eyeing her with concern and
she was smiling weakly at him. In a flash he was gone and back with a
pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

"You're soaking wet," he said concernedly, handing her the cloths, "go into my bathroom and put these on." Kitty smiled at him and went into the bathroom.

She emerged five minutes later, dressed in the clothing Pietro had given her and her hair obviously dried to some point with a towel. Pietro was lying on top of his blankets smiling at the beautiful wet girl. He was in a pair of shorts and Kitty noted how built he was. He was so incredibly handsome and she was so lucky to have him. He patted the spot next to him and lifted up the covers. She flushed prettily, but obeyed and slipped into the covers. He did the same and wrapped and arm around her.

"So what you brings you to my humble abode?" he asked grinning and kissing her fondly. The tears filled Kitty's eyes as she remembered her dream. She buried her face into his chest. He looked own at her sadly.

"What happened?" he whispered. She looked up at him with watery eyes. ~~ She's beautiful when she cries, I love her~~

"I-I had a nightmare a-about Lance, a-and I-" she broke down and began to cry. Pietro wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head, resting his cheek on it afterward.

"It's all right Kitty," he whispered soothingly, "It was only a dream, and I'll never let him harm you. Ever." Kitty looked up at him and slowly they drew nearer until finally their lips met and they shared a passionate kiss. All of Kitty's worries flooded out of her and she snuggled into his chest, and slowly drifted to sleep. . .

Kitty woke with a start as the sun filled the room. Pietro had forgotten to close the curtains before they fell asleep. She fazed through Pietro so as not to wake him and gathered up her cloths. Scott would have a fit if he found out she had left the mansion. Quietly she crept out of his room and down the rickety stairs. She guessed it was around five in the morning, a Saturday at that so no one would be awake. She was at the door, almost home safe. Suddenly a hand gripped her arm almost just like in her dream and spun her around.

"Hello Kitty."
