A.N: Wow, thanks for all the great reviews everybody. I know I got Nightcrawlers name wrong, not sure why on Earth I put John but never mind, lol. It should've hopefully been changed now. Anyway, hope you like the new chapter.

Chapter 2: Deadly Paths
Scott shook his head, uncertain whether to run after them or not. "It…it can't be…" He whispered to himself before deciding to chase after the stranger. "Come back!" He yelled, running faster and faster. He eventually came to the front of the school and scanned the area, trying to identify the shadows surrounding him. It was too dark to see anything. "Hello?!"
Nobody answered.
"I know you're there!" Suddenly he heard a rustling behind him and he spun around, firing a small beam in the direction of the noise.
He carefully tiptoed over to the blast zone but there was nothing there. "Something funny is going on…" Scott shook his head again and then turned to go back into the school but caught glimpse of a distant figure running away. "They're not gonna escape!" Without hesitation, he quickly sped off after them,

Storm slipped out of her bathrobe and dipped into the bath. None of the other X-men or students were up yet. She hadn't managed much sleep the previous night; she wasn't sure what to do about Kurt. Her feelings for him were very mixed, he was so sweet and made her feel special, but at the same time she didn't want to involve herself with anybody right now. Being very independent and single for a long time, she wasn't sure how to deal with the situation. Maybe I should talk to Xavier she thought to herself.
"Who's in there?" Said a voice along with a knock at the door, starling her. "It's me."
"Is that you Storm?" She immediately realised who it was. Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared along with a bamf and Nightcrawler emerged. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Storm screamed and quickly grabbed a towel, covering herself up. "What are you doing?!"
" Aahhh Scheiße, I am deeply sorry! I didn't realise you were- er-" Kurt instantly teleported out of the room again while Storm sighed and began giggling.

"Has anybody seen Scott?" Xavier asked, while all the X-men assembled in his room.
"I haven't seen him since he told me to get lost yesterday." Logan growled.
"I hope he's okay, he wasn't in his room this morning and I haven't seen him yet today. I can't help but be concerned, he's very upset and I'm worried he's going to do something stupid."
"Don't worry professor." Storm said, taking a seat next to him. "Scott can look after himself, he's probably gone for a walk. Wherever he is he'll be fine."

Scott had been following the stranger for a long time now, and they were aware he was on their tail. They had tried to lose him a few times but hadn't managed to succeed yet. He was still a good distance behind and kept trying to catch up but didn't have the energy.
Whoever he was following had eventually given up trying to lose him and returned to their supposed base. It was a fairly tall church-like building but looked deserted and was in the middle of nowhere. Despite being morning, there wasn't much light.
The mysterious person had run in a few minutes ago but Scott had stopped to examine the area. He carefully made his way down to the entrance, which was a small door at the side of the building, camouflaged behind trees and bushes. He blasted the door open and leapt in, preparing for a fight. The room was empty, nothing but wooden floorboards and walls. It was very hard to see as the only light was from candles. He couldn't find a door leading to anywhere else, so once again he decided to make his own opening and shot a hole in the wall.
The sound of running could be heard and Scott quickly lunged through the hole and followed the noise. The place was like a maze. There were 5 different passages to choose from. He saw a glimpse of a shadow running down the third passage and shot down it.
Once he reached the end there was nowhere to go. "Where are you, I'm not going anywhere so you may as well show yourself!" Scott yelled. He waited for a response but heard nothing.
He turned to leave but suddenly all the candles went out and Scott was in pitch black. "Who's there?!"
"…Don't you remember me?" Unexpectedly light filled the room and Scott couldn't believe his eyes. "H-H-How?!"
"There's no time to explain…just relax and everything will be fine…" With that the person took out a knife and stabbed Scott in the leg, sending him crashing to the floor.

Oh dear, this chapter is even worse than the last, lol! I got a bit stuck, but I know exactly where it's going now. The next chapter should be a lot better, longer hopefully too. Sorry about the ending, very cruddy and was cut down quite a bit. Anyways, please please please leave a review and look out for the next chapter coming soon.
