Chapter 5 : "This is getting me nowhere..."
Date: July 15, 2003
A/N: I think I'm getting impatient with this story. I'm lacking inspiration and good ideas. X{
DISCLAIMER: I envy Marvel. I wish I owned Remy and Logan and everyone else. But, sadly, I don't. I do own my characters, Kalli and Hanna (..and Idget, too ^__^). 'Cause I made them up. So stick that in your back pocket! ^__^

Kalli and Kurt had just finished their shopping and was heading towards Spencer's to poke around in, when Kalli checked her watch. "Almost one. We need to head to the food court to meet Jean and Hanna." Kurt nodded. He looked sideways as Kalli was adjusting Idget leash to her other hand. A small malicious smile crept upon his face. Kalli looked around. "So, where IS the food court?"
The smile disappeared before Kalli turned to him. "Uhh, over here. Follow me." Kurt said. He led her to their right, passing several stores and booths all the while.
Meanwhile, at the food court on the opposite end of the mall, Logan, Jean, and Hanna were waiting for them. Hanna kept checking her watch every other minute. She groaned. "Where ARE they!?" She clicked her tongue impatiently.
"You sense that?" Logan muttered to Jean. They stared at each other. Jean nodded. Hanna faced them.
"Sense what?"
"Nothing good. Come on, I think they're in trouble," answered Jean.
"Uhhh, Kurt?" Kalli asked nervously. She sensed something was wrong. She looked around at the stores around her. "I think we're going the wrong way.."
'It should be here...Ah, there it is.' a small evil grin crept upon his face as a white door between the Claire's and Walden's Books stores. Kurt took Kalli's hand and pulled her towards it.
Kalli swallowed hard Kurt ran towards the door, dragging her behind him. He wrenched the door open and shoved her inside. She fell on her side, Idget being dragged over with her. Kalli looked up, and saw Kurt's malicious grin. "Kurt?"
Then Kurt's human body melted and a woman covered in blue stood in his place. Kalli gasped as the woman pulled her up and half-dragged her along the hallway. Kalli passed a paniced glance at Idget, who was trotting along beside her. She sighed helplessly. 'JEAN!'
They were halfway down the other end of the mall when Jean stopped dead in her tracks, her thumb, index, and middle fingers pressed against her temples. Logan and Hanna stared at her as her brow furrowed. Jean looked up, her hand falling to her side. "Kalli's in trouble." She took off running, the others following on her heels. A growl rose from Logan's chest. He barely knew the girl, but he couldn't let anything happen to her.
"Where is she?" Hanna asked, panting slightly.
"Walden's Books and Claire's."
They ran between people and almost knocked a couple down, which aroused cursings and complains. Jean, Logan, and Hanna skidded to a hault, in front of a white door. Hanna and Jean were catching their breath quickly as Logan sniffed conciously. Then a growl protruded from his throat. "Mystique.."
The blue woman continued to drag Kalli down the hall, until they reached the end, where another single white door stood. The woman yanked the door open and pushed Kalli inside, while stepping inside after her and closing the door. They had entered a huge room. Every wall glimmered silver, like they were all made of metal. Desks upon desks were aligned in rows. In the middle of the room, stood an elevator. Kalli gaped at it, then recieved a harsh nudge in her back from the woman, as if commanding her to go towards the elevator. Kalli responded and walked towards it. A knot formed in her chest as she grew anxious and nervous about where they were heading. She hoped that Jean and Logan were on their way.

A/N: Oy! Do you guys think I plunged into the action a little too soon? And this is EXTREMELY SHORT! I'm not sure how the next chapter will be. V_V Anyway..I want to describe Idget, 'cause I can. He's a wolf-hybrid (part wolf, part dog). He's gray-ish black with a hint of light brown (I guess..). He kinda looks like the wolf-dog in this pic here: www.rudelhaus.com/ rh-logo.jpg . I think he's a pretty dog. I personally would like a dog like Idget. Haha. ^_^
