It has been brought to my attention that I was spelling Rogue's name wrong,
and I apologize, thing is, I knew it was wrong, but I didn't know the right
way, thank you for giving me the correct spelling.
Chapter 7 Changes, and attack
Logan didn't return in December, but he hadn't promised, so I didn't worry, I knew he was following a couple more leads that the Professor had given him, we kept in contact, he'd use any public computer terminal to e-mail me. Near the end of December, I got an e-mail from John he had made contact with Jesse, and was coming to the school, I spoke with the Professor, and he agreed to have John come as a student. I was given a set of the same papers for my parents to sign for John, but this time, the name had already been blacked out, then I realized it was a photocopy of the papers I had sent before, with my information taken off. When John arrived a week later, he was given a room with Rogue's boyfriend, Bobby. A week later, on a Saturday, we all went to a museum, the younger kids went on a tour with the teachers, I went too, Scott and Jean were definitely acting like a couple. Kasy stuck to my side, as was quite common, she had even taken to getting me to walk to school with her. John, Rogue, and Bobby had stayed in the cafeteria, Storm was talking about the different types of man there had been, I saw a stuffed wolf, and felt a pang of anger, I really liked wolves, they were beautiful creatures.
"Kasy, are you listening?" Storm asked.
I looked at Kasy, and saw she was looking at me, instead of listening to Storm, "Sorry Miss Monroe," Kasy said, turning to the lecture.
Kasy was enthralled with my habits, especially my most recent one, I had started crouching when I sat, instead of just sitting, but in public, the most obvious habit I had was sniffing. But I think the real reason Kasy was looking at me was because, though I did not project my feelings often, I had unintentionally projected a love for the wolves.
We left not long later, John had gotten into an argument in the cafeteria, and exposed his powers, and Bobby, had done the same, by helping the guy who John had set on fire. Later, Rogue was playing Foosball with either Bobby or John, I only know that, because I could now hear a lot better, and heard them gathered around the foosball table, cheering. I was lounging at the top of the stairs, when the door opened, I recognized almost immediately that it was Logan, Rogue beat me to him, as she was closer, Bobby stood in the door to the rec. room, glaring at Logan jealously.
"Who's this" Logan asked Rogue, motioning to Bobby.
"This is Bobby, he's my boyfriend," Rogue said shyly.
I had stayed at the top of the stairs, looking down over the entryway, Jean walked up, I knew Logan had a crush on her, Scott was another Jealous onlooker, as Logan hugged Jean. "Hey Scooter," Logan said with a grin, tossing him the motorcycle keys.
"Did you fill it up this time?" Scott asked.
Logan just rolled his eyes, then looked up at me, "Hey Cub, you gonna come down here and say 'Hi'?"
I turned to the stairs and began bounding down them.
***Logan's P.O.V.***
Jaime turned to come down the stairs, just as she reached them, she morphed into a wolf, when she hit the bottom, she changed back, "How long has she been doing that for?" I asked.
"Today," Jean looked pale, and Scott looked scared.
"Well, that was weird," Jaime shook her head, but came over to me, and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"How's my Cub?" I asked.
"Good," Jaime grinned.
***Jaime's P.O.V.***
After my first morphing experience, I shook it off, to greet Logan. "How's my Cub?" He asked with a smile.
"Good," I couldn't help but grin.
Logan was called to the Professor's office, and asked to bring me, on our way, we were met by Storm, "Logan, you're back just in time, you can baby- sit tonight."
In the professor's office, Logan was asked to do the same thing, "Jean and Storm are going to pick up a mutant, as soon as I can get a lock on him, and Scott is taking me to visit Eric,"
"Alright, I'll baby-sit," Logan said.
"Now, Jaime, I know of the occurrence earlier, do you know what that was?" The professor asked.
"I think it has to do with my father's mutation," I said.
"Alright, and what was that?" The professor said.
"I don't exactly know, and I can't ask him, because eight years ago, he disappeared," I said.
"Do you have any suspicions?" Professor Xavier asked.
"Well, I always had one, my father did some tracking, runaways, or kids that were taken from their homes. If they ever found a child injured, or worse, he stayed around the place where the child was found, for two days, and townsfolk always said, then that a huge wolf would roam about the area, but never any sign of my Father, anywhere, during those two days," I said.
"An Animorph," The professor said.
"You know what they are?" I asked.
"It's part of their genes, like mutants, they just appeared, I don't know much about them, but I do know that their power to change into their animal begins manifesting at around your age," The professor said.
"How do you know that?" Logan asked.
"I've suspected it about a couple of my students, but it turns out they only have the X-gene, I'd like to do some tests later, to see if I can isolate the gene, like we have the X-gene," The professor said.
I nodded, "You can go now," the professor said.
Logan and I both left, "so, you get to Baby-sit tonight," I smiled, purposely bumping into him.
"And you get to help," Logan said with a small grin.
"Who me, but I'm just a lowly student, who would listen to me?" I gave Logan my most innocent look.
"Anyone that saw your little demonstration earlier," Logan was still grinning.
"Awright," I said, we went out to the greenhouse, the Professor said he would tell us before he left.
Logan headed inside, and I began to sing to myself. Kasy knew when I was out in the greenhouse, soon to be garden, I wanted to be alone, but I went in when the professor left, after a couple hours, everyone went to bed, but me, I went back out to the greenhouse. I saw a kitchen light on, and I knew one of the boys was watching TV, I looked up, and through the glass, I saw shapes moving towards the mansion. I ran, I knew I morphed into Wolf form, I stopped, just long enough to change, so I could open the door, and I began running as a wolf, I went upstairs.
The commandos burst in, shortly after I got in, Rogue got up to get others up, and to the escape tunnels, Kitty dropped through her bed, and into the main floor, I think it was an accident. I told Kasy to climb on my back, and Jubilee was supposed to follow us, I brought them to the nearest open panel, and sent them down those stairs, someone had set the alarm blaring. "Wait, to see if any other students come, when it quiets down in here, go to the nearest neighbors, ask to use the phone, and call your parents, alright Jubilee, and keep Kasy close, I'll find you if I can," I said.
"Jaime, don't go," Kasy called.
"Kasy, I will find you, it just may take awhile, stay with Jubilee," I said.
***Kasy's P.O.V.***
Jubilee grabbed me as I tried to run up the stairs, to get to Jaime, who though in wolf form was the only person I wanted to be around. No one else came down the stairs, but Jaime did close the panel as she left. Jubilee took my hand, and we walked, the end of the tunnel was at the edge of the woods. When we opened the door, Jubilee looked out, "There is a house not far away, we're going to jump out, and run, as fast as we can, alright?"
I nodded, Jubilee and I climbed out, it was to hard to jump, Jubilee slammed the door shut behind us, and we ran, Jubilee practically dragging me. "Help, help," Jubilee called.
A light came on in an upstairs room, then a trail of light, slowly getting brighter, as we began to bang on the door. When it opened, there was a man in a house coat, "What is it?" he asked.
"Evacuation alarms at our school started to go off," Jubilee said, "One of the older girls told us to go to the nearest house, to call our parents."
"Evacuation alarms?" The man asked.
"The school has special alarms, incase something happens, we're new to the school, but the older girl said she was going to make sure the other students got out," Jubilee said.
"Alright, come in," He said, a woman appeared behind him, as we stepped in.
"They're just kids," the woman said, she crouched down to look at us.
I slipped behind Jubilee, "Jubie, I want Jaime."
"I know, but she's got to help the others, she's strong enough to help, we aren't that's why we're here," Jubilee said.
I nodded, but still held onto her pajama leg. "So you're shy?" The woman asked.
"Can we use your phone?" Jubilee asked.
"Of course, it's in the kitchen," The woman said.
Jubilee dialed a number, "Mom, I know it's early, but can you pick us up . Me and Kasy, she's one of my roommates, Jaime told me to, she said she'd come get us there, I don't know, thank you," Jubilee hung up.
***Jaime's P.O.V.***
I checked every bedroom, and made sure all the kids I found got to the passages. The last rooms were empty, I checked, and closed any panels I found open, and then, morphing into wolf form, I went downstairs, and out a door, I only encountered one commando, and he was so surprised to see a wolf, that he didn't get a tranquilizer shot off. I ran through the woods, to the nearby house, I had checked the whole area out, long before I had gotten the papers back. When I emerged, I saw five students just entering the house.
Instead of going inside, I stayed out, to keep an eye out. After half an hour, and no more kids came, I morphed into my human form, and walked up to the house, I knocked on the door, when a lady opened it I asked, "Have any kids come here, from the nearby school?"
"Why do you ask?" She questioned.
"My name is Jaime, I go to the school as well, I'd like to, if it's not a problem, call some other houses in the area, from your house, to get track of as many students as I can," I said.
"Why do you have that responsibility?" the woman asked.
"I'm one of three graduating students this year, and we tend to take it on ourselves to look out for the younger kids," I said.
"Alright," the woman let me in.
"Who is it Lexus?" a man asked.
"Another student," the woman said, then to me she added, "The phone is in the kitchen, it should be available."
I Followed her into the kitchen, all the students were sitting on the floor, or chairs, drinking hot chocolate. "Jaime," Kasy sprung up, and grabbed onto my leg.
"She's definitely the youngest," Lexus said, quietly to her husband "I don't know who would send a five year old to a boarding school."
"Kasy is the youngest, but she's seven, and she's at the school, because her parents died," I said.
I was handed the phone by one of the other students, pulling papers out of my emergency bag, I checked off the names of the students that were there, then I began calling the numbers of the houses the escape tunnels led to. One I woke up, but the rest all had a couple kids, at least, I ended up being at the most crowded house, one dozen students turned up unaccounted for, with one house to go, "We turned them away," The grumpy voice said, when I asked about the students.
It was the house with a tunnel that attached to the one here, I hoped the students were able to make it, "How many were there?" I asked.
"One, or two," The man said, then he hung up.
"Well, I hope they come here, and don't go back to the school," I said, "The school is swarming with not nice people."
They showed up right then, Logan, Rogue, Bobby and John were all still unaccounted for. "I hope they are all right," I said.
All of the students were picked up, except for Jubilee, and Kasy, Jubilee's parents lived a two hour drive away, "Thank you for your hospitality, and help," I said to the couple, as Jubilee's parents showed up.
"It was no problem, I hope that everything works itself out," Lexus said.
"It should," I smiled, we left the house, and climbed into the car.
"You said two," Jubilee's parents said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get to the house till after, if you want, you can drop Kasy and I off in town, we'll get a cab, or something, and go to my parents," I said.
"That's alright, you can come to our place," Jubilee's mom said.
We all fell asleep in the car, "Wake up, we're here," Jubilee's mom said.
Jubilee and I woke up, I took Kasy, and lifted the tiny child in my arms, it was morning, but her sleep had been interrupted, "Jaime, how much sleep did you get?" Jubilee asked, after I put Kasy in the spare room.
"I don't know, how long was the drive?" I asked.
"Two hours," Jubilee replied.
"That's how long I slept," I shrugged.
"Child, go on upstairs, and get some sleep," Jubilee's mom said.
"I'm not tired, I'm to worried about my dad," I said.
"Your dad?" Jubilee said.
"Yes, my dad, he has amnesia, so he doesn't remember much of anything, he's been searching for answers, I don't want to force him to remember, he'll remember his past when his brain is ready for it,"
"Who is your dad?" Jubilee said.
"some people call him Wolverine," I said.
"Wolverine?" Jubilee was running the name through her memory.
"He was called wolf, at one point, but the amnesia is a result of the change that made him Wolverine."
I borrowed the phone, and dialed Jesse, he wasn't there, he'd been sent to pick up Katie, "When he gets in, will you tell him that Jaime is alright, though John is missing?" I asked.
"Alright, and who is this?" the woman asked.
"This is Jaime," I said, "His little sister."
A/N: Well, that's all for this chapter, though I'm not sure how someone got a boy form of a Mary-sue from chapter five, or is that Jesse's chapter. Jesse's barely in the story, and Jaime is a girl, if they didn't get that.
