This will be the last chapter I write, it is not finished, but there will
be no more of this story, I will probably write another story, but for now,
this is the end of my online writing career.
Chapter 8
"I'm not tired, but thanks anyway, actually, I'm just going to wait for Kasy to wake up, I want to say goodbye, before I go home," I said.
"You're leaving me?" Kasy asked from the stairs.
"You should stay with Jubilee, and her parents, it will be safer," I said.
"Why wouldn't I be safe with you?" Kasy asked.
"Because, I'm not going to follow safe paths, I don't even know a safe path," I said.
"Please take me," Kasy asked.
"I can't, I couldn't guarantee you'd be safe," I said.
Kasy begged, and pleaded, finally, I gave in, "Fine," I said.
I brought Kasy to the store, where I bought her a new backpack, and added two new outfits for her. At the grocery store, I bought some supplies, then we were on our way, I had Kasy ride on my back, and I moved as fast as I could. It took two days, but finally, we got to my childhood home. I changed back into human form, and we walked out of the trees, at the gate, the security guard was the same, and he let us in without a question, "Your parents are out on patrol, till four, but Albert will get you anything you need," He said.
"Thank you," I replied, then led Kasy up the long drive to the house. Albert was waiting at the door for us, "Welcome Miss Jaime, come in, please,"
"Albert, it's good to see you," I said.
"It's good to see you as well."
"Albert, we are exhausted, or at least I am, is there any way that we could get a bite to eat, and then some sleep?" I asked
"Not a problem, I will have something in the dining room for you in just a moment," Albert went into the kitchen, and I led Kasy to the dining room.
Albert came in ten minutes later with tomato soup, and stacks of toast. He stood at the doorway, and watched us eat, I asked him questions about how everything had been, Quiet, and how the wife was, Tired, the kids, over energetic.
Once my hunger was satisfied, and the soup was gone, I stood up, Kasy and I thanked Albert, "I've had your room prepared, and a guest room for Miss Kasy,"
"Jaime, what if I have a nightmare?" Kasy asked, as we followed Albert up the stairs.
"You can stay in my room," I said.
"Miss Jaime, that is not necessary," Albert said, "I did have a room prepared for Miss Kasy."
"Kasy is prone to nightmares, and if she is not near someone who can comfort her, she is likely to wake the entire house," I said.
"How's that?" Albert asked.
"There are ways," I said. Kasy and I fell asleep within minutes, our exhaustion kept any nightmares at bay, and Albert had to wake us up at Nine for breakfast with my parents. The meal was quiet, my parents having more tact than to speak ill of my bringing Kasy to the mansion in front of her. Not one to let a problem simmer in my presence, I sent Kasy upstairs to take a shower, she left, and my parents dug right in.
"What were you thinking, bringing a stranger into this house, we don't know her, for all we know she's going to tell others how to get here," My mother said.
"I came here because we needed somewhere to go, Kasy is an orphan, we'll be heading back to school in two days, I just want to make sure that it's safe, and that the professor has got everything cleaned up, and cleared out." I said.
"So when are you leaving?" My father asked.
"I'm bringing Kasy back to the school in two days, then, depending on if certain people return, I may stay at the school, and complete the year, if they do not return, I will get correspondence courses that I need, and finish high school that way, while searching for what I need to find," I stated my plans.
"So there is someone at the school you like?" My mother said.
"I hope my cub is ok," Logan's voice came from the COM.
"Logan, despite popular belief, the Com doesn't shut off when you move it away from your face," Marie's voice followed.
I grabbed my dad's COM off of his wrist, and pulled it into talking range, "Logan, Rogue, is that you?"
"Jaime? What are you doing with a COM?" Logan asked.
"I'm supposed to have one," I wasn't telling the truth, but it wasn't a lie either.
"So, where are you?" Logan asked.
"I'm at my parents, where are you?" I pressed.
"We just got back to the school, and are beginning the clean up, tomorrow, Jaime, Jean's gone, we lost her on the mission," Logan said the last part sadly.
A/N: Unfortunately, I cannot continue writing this, because, I can't mutilate such a good story line like this, X-Men is awesome, and I'm destroying it, sorry.
