Chapter Twelve.
Author's Note: I know I said I'd be updating this one quicker but I'm just so darn lazy! *Slaps hand!* Here's chapter Twelve - hope you like it and I really hope this is not getting too boring or confusing. Thanks for the reviews they've really kept me going for this fic, it's not like my usual - Romance/Humor - so it's sort of difficult (new things always are) but I'm trying everything out. So thank you to those who reviewed and have been so kind.

LATER THAT NIGHT...
The phone rang. When I picked it up there was no answer. It rang again. Someone was making crank calls, or so I thought.
The phone rang again but when I picked it up this time there was an answer.
"Watch your back Kitty, it won't be long now. I'll make you sorry. Sorry you ever laid eyes on Pietro."
The line went dead. Who was this creep? I had to get to the bottom of this and soon. It was so late and I didn't want to call and disturb Pietro so I'll tell him about this in the morning.
***************************************************************
The night flew by. I was awakened by a phone call. I was so hesitant to answer the phone but it could have been something important.
"Hello?"
"Hello Katherine?"
"Speaking. Who is this?"
"This is Principal Darkholme. I'm just calling to inform you that effective immediately you are no longer on suspension. You may return to school tomorrow and resume your normal school routine."
"Really? That's great. What happened? I thought you said you had an eye witness?"
"Well this student's story seemed to be quite accurate but after kept changing drastically. We later found out that they were nowhere near the scene at that time and was just trying to be a hero. Since there were no fingerprints, no hard evidence for us to go by to prove that you actually did this, we had no further choice but to close the matter until a later time."
"Thank you ma'am, this is so great."
"Welcome back Kitty. I'll see tomorrow."
It was the end of at least one nightmare, now I just had to deal with Kurt and that's it. Oh yeah and not forgetting this whole mutant thing! I called Dad up and told him the good news. He was so excited and relieved that he suggested we go out to dinner to celebrate. School hadn't let out yet so I had to wait a while before I could tell Pietro and Kory the good news.
I saw Pietro and Kory pull up into his driveway. I ran upstairs to call him immediately. He took forever to answer his phone but I let it go on ringing. Finally he replied,
"Hello?"
"Hey Pietro, guess what?"
"Kitty you're actually buzzing. This must be really great news."
"Yep, the principal called and I'm off suspension. I'll be back at school tomorrow. Isn't that great?"
"That's wonderful but what happened?"
"I'll explain all the details when I see you later. Can..."
"Maybe you can explain it over dinner tonight. How about we get something to eat, maybe even see a movie and go for a long walk on the beach."
"Sounds wonderful, what time?"
"Well I'll pick you up around eight and we can go to..."
"Wait, that's not a good idea. I don't want Kory to see us leaving together. What do you say if I agree to meet you at the burger joint around eight?"
"I'd say you'd have to tell your sister about us sometime. Besides it's getting dark very early and I don't want you walking around all by yourself....."
"I'll be fine. So it's a date. I'll see you at eight."
"Um... alright but be careful. Listen I've got to go but I'll see you later. Bye."
I felt as though someone was listening outside my door. When I went to check it out I didn't see anything. Maybe I was just being paranoid. I soon remembered that I had promised Dad that we would go out to dinner. I had to call him and reschedule. All I got was his voicemail so I left a message.
I headed out at half seven because truth be told, I was a little afraid of the dark. When I got to The Pit however, Pietro was nowhere in sight. I scanned all over and even asked someone to check the men's room. When I checked outside for his car it was not there. I saw Kurt at the counter having a shake so I asked him if he had seen Pietro.
"I think he just left a few seconds ago with your sister."
"He did? But we had plans, how could he do that?"
"I told you he was a waste of your time. Now if it was me I would never....."
"Yeah Kurt I get the point. I'm gonna head on home before it gets too dark."
"Can I give you a lift home?"
"No thanks, I need some air."
I was beginning to think Kurt was right. How could Pietro just leave with Kory? There I go again - not trusting him - there had to be a logical explanation.
Wow it was this dark already, maybe I should have called a cab. I was getting scared so I took a shortcut through the park. Boy was that was a stupid move! I could hear voices. Someone was calling my name.
"Hello? Is someone there?"
No reply. Like I was actually gonna get one! I began to run but soon tripped because something grabbed my legs. I felt something warm and runny against my skin - my leg had been slashed. Blood was gushing out of the gaping wound and I couldn't stand. When I passed my hand over the wound, I felt something hard like glass. I had glass shards inside my flesh.
It was getting darker.
I concentrated to make myself... phaseable - but... but it didn't work! What good was this stupid mutation if I couldn't even use it! I should have gone back to see that Professor! He told me that I had to act quickly but I just didn't...
"Ah!"
I screamed out in pain. Something lunged at me and scratched me all the way down the side. I could feel the blood running out like water from a faucet. I touched my back and could feel the skin shredded and dangling. I was then kicked over onto my back. I could feel the shards dig deeper and deeper into my skin. I was hit in the face a couple of times and then dragged towards something big and hard. My hands were tied together and so were my feet. I tried concentrating again so that I could at least escape this person/s grasp but I couldn't think about anything besides the pain - it was excruciating. I was slashed on my other side and then jabbed on the wound. I let out a shrill cry and was hit one final blow and then everything faded to black.
TO BE CONTINUED.
