A Midnight Fairy

Chapter 1

Two Months Later



Ronny Drake stood at the entrance of Xavier Institute for the Gifted, finger almost touching the doorbell.

What was he supposed to say to his brother, to everyone? After all, he had been the one to call the cops on him three months prior to the day. But he couldn't just go back home, not after what he had done to his mother.

Not after he had sent her to the hospital in a comma from just pushing her. But she had tried to touch him, and she would have been much worse if she had succeeded.

"I can't do this." Ronny whispered to himself as he turned around, preparing to leave.

But before he could move his feet, the door behind him opened up and a voice called out to him.

"Can I help you?" A voice Ronny recognized asked, her southern accent cutting into his memories.

"Uh." Ronny said nervously, turning around to face the girl.

She quickly recognized him and her face hardened from the innocent, confused look it was moments before. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to speak to him." Ronny told her, stuffing one hand into his pocket, the other griping his book bag that held his most precious items.

He must have looked a sight with a baggy, long sleeve shirt and pants on in the middle of summer, but he didn't care, not what she thought of him, anyway.

"I don't know what you're up to, but I doubt Bobby would want to speak to you." Rouge told him simply.

"Who is it?" A female voice asked from behind Rouge as a girl with shoulder length black and red hair appeared behind Rouge.

When she spotted Ronny, she stopped dead in her tracks as the two eyes locked for what seemed like forever, until Rouge's even colder voice broke the trance.

"No one, Faye. Just someone to see Bobby." Rouge snapped, not turning her eyes off of Ronny.

"Oh, really." Faye smirked before turning around and yelling threw the mansion, "BOBBY, SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU!"

"No!" Rouge exclaimed but was too late, for Bobby was making his way from the living room, confusion written on his face.

"Who?" He asked as he looked towards the door.

When he caught sight of Ronny, he stopped dead in his tracks and his mouth dropped open (people seem to stop dead in their track a lot, don't they).

"Bobby." Ronny greeted with a nod of his head as he griped harder onto the strap on his bag, making his knuckles turn white.

"What are you doing here?" Bobby hissed as he stormed towards the door, making Faye move beside Ronny so not to be hit.

"I need to talk." Ronnie told him simply.

"Do you know how much trouble you're in?" Bobby yelled and then realized how loud he was being. "Mom is still in the hospital. Two weeks and she's still there!" Bobby hissed, his voice barley a whisper now.

"I didn't have a choice!" Ronny yelled, anger showing in his eyes. "You know what, this was a mistake. Just forget that I was every here." Ronny snapped before turning around and walking back towards the gates.

"Bobby." Faye started, anger also in her voice.

"No, Faye. You don't know what's going on, so don't get in the middle of it!" Bobby snapped as he turned his glare to the girl he refused to get along with.

"You know something, I do know what's going on. You have no clue what you just did!" Faye yelled into his face before turning around running after Ronny.

"Hey!" Faye yelled as she got closer to Ronny.

"What?" He snapped as he turned to the girl.

"Don't snap at me, I'm just coming to help. Ignore what Bobby and Rouge said, you need help and trust me, this is the best place to get it." Faye told him, smiling at him.

"What would you know?" Ronny hissed, moving closer to the girl.

"Plenty. Like that you're like us, and you were protecting your mom more then she knows. That you can't touch anyone anymore, and that you hate that." Faye told him, her eyes daring, as she looked Ronny straight in the eyes.

"Faye, get away from him!" Bobby yelled as he ran up to them. "He's dangerous."

"Not to me." She answered shortly and she kept eye contact with the boy.

"Faye, you don't know what's going on, no matter what you think. He's dangerous, very dangerous. You shouldn't be near him." Bobby hissed into her ear as he moved to put his hand on her bare shoulder.

She quickly pulled back before he could touch her, ending up knocking into Ronny and landing on the ground, him underneath her.

"Sorry." Faye whispered as she went to move off him.

"It's okay." Ronny responded, his voice strained with emotions.

"What was that?" Bobby yelled as he glared at Faye.

"You tried to touch me." She told him like it would explain everything.

"So." Bobby bit back, anger rising in him.

"That' is quite enough, Robert Drake." Xavier's voice cut into Faye's response as the Professor wheeled towards them.

"Ronny Drake, I've been waiting for you. Come with me." Xavier told the boy, who just nodded as he started following the man.

"Now, Rouge, Bobby, you two come with me. And Faye, you go back to your room." Scott Summers demanded.

The three students quickly agreed and they went their own ways, but knew it wasn't over yet.
