A/N: Thank you Xerios, Maria, and Xiowolfe for your reviews! ^_^
A/N#2: In the last chapter there's the line, "I would show you all the scars from all the times I tried ta kill myself, but they all faded away." With this –'*'- little thing after it… well I forgot to put at the end of the chapter that I had gotten that from the X-men movie's commentary. So that line's not mine. ::Sighs::

The window was open she noted absentmindedly as a gust of wind came in tousling her hair.
"When did you start cutting yourself?"
She looked up, "Five years ago," She whispered, her fingers idly tracing the edge of the arm of her chair, "When my powers manifested…"
"Were you ashamed of what you were?"
"Not at first, but then he… he was disgusted and locked me in the closet. He was angry at what I had become…"
Logan pushed off against the wall, his hands fisting at his sides, "Who's he?"
"My boyfriend. I lived with him ever since my parents… left," She frowned, looking out the opened window at the blue sky outside, "He had been my best friend, that's the only reason I had shown him my powers."
"What are your powers?" Professor Xavier asked tenting his hands under his nose.
Kimla looked over at Logan then at the Prof., "I don't know how to describe it… It's like ice, but red and extremely hot."
Logan furrowed his eyebrows and folded his arms over his chest; he opened his mouth then quickly closed it and walked over to the window looking outside.
"I don't feel like talking about my past anymore, Professor."
Xavier nodded her dismissal. She sighed standing up; glanced over at Logan then walked out of the office closing the door behind her.
"Did you… did you scan her mind?" Logan asked softly as he watched several of the students play a game of Mutant Ball in the front yard.
Xavier sighed rubbing his temples, "I did, although it was against my better judgment."
"What did ya find?" Logan looked over his shoulder at him.
"Mostly emotions that she has kept bottled up for quite some time," He frowned closing his eyes, "There is one memory that stood out quite brightly."
Logan turned leaning his shoulder against the wall, "What was it?"
"She was in a small dark space with only the light under the door shining in, she held something in her hand… a hanger I believe," He stopped and opened his eyes, "She used it to cut herself."
Logan sighed standing up straight, "So it was depression and fear that lead her to… to cutting herself?"
Xavier nodded warily briefly closing his eyes, when he opened them again the room was empty and the door silently clicked shut.

(Kimla's POV)
I held my arm tightly against my chest as I walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. With all the questions about my past things started to resurface in my mind and I needed a way to release it. So I had done the only thing I could think of, I cut myself.
As I watched the crimson blood fall into the sink, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and had thrown up in the toilet accidentally smearing blood on the counter top in my hastiness.
The wound was now healed over, the bathroom cleaned, but the sickness is still settled within my stomach. As I neared the kitchen I quickly changed destinations and ran out the front doors, down the cement stairs and onto the driveway.
"Kimla! Wait!" It's Logan.
I speed up only to be stopped by a firm hand on my upper arm. I gasped as he turned me to face him, how he had caught up so fast I can only guess.
"Where are you goin'?" There's concern in his eyes, then he sniffs the air and his eyes close.
"I'm so sorry, I-I…" My mind goes numb as tears run down my face, "I j-just need t-to l-leave." I gasped out in between sobs, my arm now throbbing in pain from where I had cut myself earlier.
I try to turn away but he stops me again, "Don't leave." His hand squeezes my arm a little tighter.
'Maybe he knows… Maybe he's afraid of loosing me.' I think then try to brush off the thought, 'No one cares about you.'
I can't look at him; he hesitantly releases my arm and wipes away the tears trailing down my cheeks.
