p "Jean." Logan walked after Jean after another one of his failed kiss attempts, but a smell hit him and he stopped suddenly. p He raised his head and sniffed the air. "You don't have to hide. I can smell you. I know you're there." He turned around and looked down an empty hallway. "Who are you?" He growled, which echoed down the empty space. p He looked around and heard a sharp intake of breath. His head snapped to the sound. p 'Shit! He knows I'm here! Don't move. Don't make a sound' p Thoughts whirred through the intruder's head. She tried to remain calm, but he was walking closer to her and she couldn't help her breath quickening. p Logan heard breathing. It was very faint, but it was there. He walked closer and the sound became louder. He quickly snapped out his claws and waited for the response. p She gave a gasp as the metal blades pushed out of the man's skin covering his knuckles. She then realised that was the reaction he was hoping for. p He pounced up and grabbed at what looked like air from his point of view, but he grabbed something invisible that screeched and he pulled it off the rafters on the ceiling. p Elle yelped as one of his blades cut his cheek. p Logan slammed the invisible thing onto the floor and held what felt like its hands above its supposed head and held its body on the floor with his knee. p "Who are you?" It came out more of a snarl and his heavy breathing came out of his mouth hot and fast as adrenalin flowed round his body. p The invisible thing didn't answer so he lifted his free arm, ready to stab it in about its chest. p The person gave a scream and it appeared suddenly before Logan's eyes. p He looked shocked at the person. She couldn't have been more than 20. Long dark hair fell about her very pretty face. She had turned her head to the side trying to get away from him. p Ella slowly turned to him, as she hadn't felt his blades go through her. p Logan looked down at the beautiful and was mesmerised by her bright green eyes. He felt his claws slide back into his skin and the wounds heal, but he couldn't move.

p "Logan?" the professors voice floated into Logan's head. But he just couldn't take his eyes off the girl under him. "Logan. You'll have to get off her. Logan. She's frightened." p Logan slowly took a deep breath and closed his eyes and pulled himself off the girl. p "I'm sorry for Logan. He's very cautious of new people." Ella, as soon as Logan had gotten off her, scooted back towards the wall and then disappeared. "I can still feel you. I can see you in here." The professor tapped his head. p Ella looked at him wondering what he meant. p "I can hear you wherever you are." Ella stared in amazement as she heard his voice, but she didn't see his lips move and she appeared back to sight. p "We're all the same here and on your side." Ella was a bit less freaked when he spoke out loud. p She thought about what he said and her hand travelled gingerly to her cheek. p "Sorry." Logan muttered under his breath and then turned away quickly without even looking at Ella. p "you should appreciate it. I don't think I've heard him apologise before." Ella looked up at the extended, gloved hand and took it apprehensively. "He's a bit stand offish. No memory of his past and having experiments done on him would do that to a man." The girl pulled Ella to her feet and smiled. "I'm Rogue." p Ella smiled back. "I'm Ella." p "well Ella, we're gong to have to find a place for you to stay. That is if you want to stay." p Ella looked at the floor and nodded. Something inside of her realised she was safe here. And she wanted to find out more about Logan. He made her feel things she hadn't felt before. p And it exited her. p p
