Chapter 6
Again days went by peacefully for Corina and her grandmother. She had hesitated meeting with Wanda unless she would decide to leave her current residence but she knew the young girl would not be happy about leaving. Although she did not like the boys she lived with, Wanda wanted to be around others like her and to keep an eye on her brother and father. Corina had thought about how to keep their training sessions quiet but she had not figured out a solution yet. Corina figured that the training could continue soon enough but all she needed was an idea. She returned home that Friday evening from work and Corina was happy that everything was finally better, besides that one little problem but that could be solved simply enough. She came back to the manor and sat in her room and began to flip through the channels on her television. She had just taken a nice, hot shower and changed into her green, fleece pajamas and held the remote in her hand as she rapidly went through the channels. 'News.Some crappy show.Crocodile Hunter.more news.Do they ever put anything good on TV anymore?' Corina droned on in her mind. She began to daze sleepily when the doorbell rang and she heard her grandmother go to the door. Corina only half listened to the person at the door.
"Hi Sophia, why have you come this late at night? Is something wrong?" Corina listened as her grandmother greeted one of the witches in the coven.
"Pearl, I got another premonition about those girls except this time there is more of them in danger and I don't know what is going to happen and everything is just going to be terrible and." Corina was shocked to hear Sophia's voice in such a worried tone. She quickly changed clothing before she hurried down stairs.
"Sophia, child, child, calm down. Breath," Pearl gripped the young witch's shoulders and calmed her down "Now, slowly tell me what's wrong."
Sophia inhaled slowly before she was able to continue with the news. "Pearl, remember when I had that first premonition about those two girls weeks ago and Corina was able to stop it. Well, this time, all of these girls are going to be attacked and there will be more attackers. They seem impossible to stop and I don't know if Corina or even more of us can stop them all. What can we do? We must protect them otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the premonition."
By now Corina had made it down the stairs and was ready for more bad news. She traveled down the stairs and looked at her sister witch. Sophia was in her late twenties and she was a good and kind person. She only learned to fight enough for her own protection but she mostly concentrated on healing medicines and potions. She was an excellent healer and her power was better suited to non-fighting type work. Sophia was of an average height and weight but she had beautiful dark brown hair and eyes. She was a highly respected and important member of the witches' coven. Outside of the coven, Sophia worked as a physical therapist and it seems she had just come from work because she was still in her uniform. Sophia was only had the power of premonition which took her many years before she was able to master it. Her premonitions were a valuable way to protect the innocent and the other witches. Corina trusted Sophia's premonitions and she, like every other witch, attempted to prevent them from actually occurring. The power of premonition only showed the witch what was going to happen if the future was not changed. Left alone, the premonitions would come true but by interfering, the situation could be avoided. "Sophia, how many attackers and how many were attacked?" Corina again returned to her trained voice that held a flat edge to it.
"Well, there were five males, three appeared to be teenagers and two were full grown, and five teenage girls but their powers seem to not be able to function. There could be more people but that was all I was able to see. The kids are going home and they get attacked. I don't know when it is going to happen but I would guess soon. Corina, I don't know if you can handle them all. Their powers are pretty strong and I don't think you can take them all." Sophia rushed through her thoughts as she calmly tried to answer the question. However, her voice betrayed her outward calm appearance.
"What are their powers? Could you tell? How do they talk or look? Can you give my any type of description?" Corina asked in her serious manner. She was beginning to worry about challenging so many opponents but already a plan was forming in her head.
"Well, there are the two boys from before the fire one and the thief and then there is one that is covered in metal, one that seems to have an animal mutation similar to a cat, and one that was just floating there. He could be some type of telepath or something like that. He just floated there and erected a metal barrier. I'm not quite sure." Sophia was desperate to give a detailed description of the scene she had seen before.
"Magneto never stops does he," Corina muttered under breath without Sophia hearing.
"The last one seems to be the team leader and he gives the commands. The girls are going home from somewhere and they appeared to be in a hurry. Then they just seem to be stopped and then they are just attacked. I can't see what happens but something does happen and it messes with their powers. Corina, you have to be careful, I just don't think you should do this alone. You should get some other witches to help you. You can't always handle everything by yourself."
"Sophia, I'll be fine and I'll figure something out to protect them. I'll get word to them some how and I'll keep a close watch on them. I can't involve other witches and risk their lives. This is my problem now and I think I can handle this. Sophia, don't worry. I'll plan something and I'll make sure that no matter what, you can find me and I'll be safe. Grandma, I'm going out and I'm going to make a visit." Corina wanted to comfort both witches that stood in the foyer but her mind continued to form plans and ideas.
"Corina, be careful, I can't stand to lose you. Please be safe tonight and don't do anything that could get you in trouble or in danger."
"Grams, I know I'll be safe tonight. Nothing is going to happen tonight. I'm just going to warn them before it happens and that should prevent the attack. I'll be careful. No one can hurt me that easy." Corina grabbed her grandmother and pulled her into a tight hug before running up the stairs and changing.
Slowly a quick shadow moved toward the gate of the institute. It wasn't late yet so Kitsu was not worried about waking anyone from his or her sleep. Corina came from the edge of the woods and made her way quietly along the gate once she was sure no one was around. She had learned that their leader was a telepath. Corina knew that she could always protect her mind from him but she also knew how to force her thoughts on the Professor. She concentrated hard as she stood near the front gates of the school. 'Professor Xavier, I need to tell you something. Your female students are in danger.'
'Who is this? What do you mean in danger?' Kitsu heard the sound of the voice in her head. He sounded shocked that someone had broken through the barriers in his mind.
'My name is Kitsu. I promise, I mean no harm and my intentions are good. An attack has been planned to capture the girls of your team within the next few days. I'm sorry to say I don't know when this attack will occur but I can promise you it will be similar to the attack a few weeks ago when I save two of your students from the other two mutants. Yes, it will be the same team lead by Magneto but there will be more of them and something will happen to their powers. They will lose them somehow. I suggest you prepare them for this. Please, watch out for them. I cannot ensure their protection but I will try to watch over them, as well. Do you understand?'
'Yes, thank you for telling me but how do you know this? Why do you care about my students?'
'It is hard to explain about how I know but you need to just trust me. I'll keep watch on my own because I have a responsibility to protect. It is just my way. Just keep them safe and ensure your responsibility. Good Night.' Corina quickly replace her mental shields before he could respond and speed off into the night. Corina dashed into the woods before anyone could have the chance to find her.
