Chapter Thirteen.

Author's Note: Hey thanks for the reviews from both you guys. I would have waited till I got a few more (doubtful!), but I promised I'd update quickly and get this fic out the way so I can wrap up some of the others. So to K.K.L. - I know I just love cliffys but you have to bear with me. I like to leave you wanting more. And to Spunky-Rooney-Fan - I thank you for your review and I hope you check out some of my other fics as well.

And as a special treat, I'm uploading two chapters tonight. So I hope you enjoy and please do review. I thank you.

I don't own X Men Evolution.

[A/N - Pietro is searching for Kitty, bumps into Kory at the burger joint. Oh yeah forgot to mention this is first time Kitty isn't giving her P.O.V, as you know she laid out at the moment. So for just this chapter or at least part of it, the other characters shall entertain you.]

"Hey Kory wait up."

"Hey Pietro. What's up?"

"Have you seen your sister? I need to talk to her."

"Not today, no. Why are you looking for her anyway?"

"Um... she er... she has some homework I asked her to look at. I really need to get it from her."

"Well if I see her I'll be sure and tell her."

"Thanks a lot Kory, you're a life saver."

"Hey Pietro, what are you doing tonight?"

"Sort of busy, why?"

"Do you want to go see a movie or something?"

"Nah I've got a lot of studying to do, I'll have to take a rain check. Hope you're not too angry with me."

"Angry with you, never. I'll see you around then."

"Yeah later."

*****************************************************************

[A/N: Kory calls Pietro on the phone.]

"Hello Pietro?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm afraid Kitty isn't here, which is so totally weird. I mean she's always home, especially when she doesn't have to be."

"Alright thanks, I'll go check around to see if I can find her."

"You need any help?"

"Not really, I'll let you know if anything comes up. Thanks again Kory."

***************************************************************

[A/N: Bumps into Kurt outside the park.]

"Hey Kurt, have you seen Kitty around?"

"Not today. If you hadn't stood her up last night maybe she wouldn't be avoiding you."

"You saw Kitty last night, where?"

"At The Pit, duh. She came in last night looking for you and I told her I saw you left with Kory. She seemed pretty upset." Kurt smirked somewhat.

"Oh no, she must have thought... I was only giving Kory a ride home, she told me she was afraid to walk home in the dark and insisted that I give her a ride home."

"So you just left and you knew you were meeting Kitty here! You know what I think it about time you back off! You don't deserve Kitty; she needs someone who will always be there for her. You let her walk outside alone, she's afraid of the dark too you know." He narrowed his eyes menacingly at Pietro.

"I... I didn't know that and besides I offered to give her a... wait this is none of your business."

"One word muscle-head - TWINS! Besides I knew it, you don't know anything about her so why don't you just leave her alone. Kory likes you, stick with her."

"Listen Kurt I don't have the time for this right now. I've got to go find Kit..."

"What do you mean find her? She's missing?"

"Just stay out of it!" Pietro gave Kurt a slight shove.

Kurt's hands balled into fists and he clenched his jaw. "No I care for Kitty too much to just stand by and let anything happen to her. I'm gonna help look whether you like it or not!"

Pietro looked at Kurt and then gave a sigh of defeat. "Fine! You check the mall and I'll check in here. Call me if you find her or find out anything." He took out his cell phone and gave his number to Kurt.

As just as Kurt was about to walk off he grabbed his hand, "and I mean it Kurt - call me if you find anything!"

******************************************************************

"Ah this is useless! I can't find her anywhere?" Pietro kicked a pebble in his frustration. He sat down on a nearby park bench and buried his face in his hands, his gorgeous sliver hair glistening in the sun's afternoon glow. He raised his head and caught sight of something. He furrowed his brows and made his way over to the slumped object resting against the tree.

"Oh my gosh, Kitty are you alright? What happened to you? Kitty? Kitty wake up!"

She stirred a bit.

"Kitty?" He kissed her forehead lightly, "Kitty please wake up!"

Her eyes fluttered open. "Pietro? What... what am I..." She tried to move but yelled out in pain.

"Don't try to move. I'm gonna get some help..." he nervously got his phone out, "don't worry." He raised a hand up to her face and she winced under his touch.

"Pietro, please, you have to help me, it hurts so much."

Just as he was about to dial, his cell rang. It as Kurt.

"Hey Pietro, I've searched the mall - no trace of Kitty."

"It's okay Kurt, I found her here in the park..."

"You did? Well why didn't you call? You had me searching here when I could have been..."

"Would you let me finish? She's banged up pretty bad and I can't move her so I'm gonna call an ambulance or something..."

"No wait Pietro - I've got a better idea."
