The Uncanny R-Man: I have no idea what her relationship was like with
him so I'll take you're word for it. And as for Gale/Jillian...I'm not
saying, I'll leave that for a surprise for now.
yae yang: You mean Illyana I take it? I'll get back to her and the others don't worry, and yes I have thought of what to do with her. (PS. Pam said she's highly offended :))
Fire inu: Well the triangle with Kurt/Amanda/Jillian yes I will admit to that, as for Gale well I leave that open for interpretation for now.
DemonRogue13: Well thanks anyway it wasn't that big a problem, and as for the Gale thing, technically I'm not making her anything, if she is or isn't (I'm not saying which) I planned her like that from the beginning. So I guess you'll have to wait and see. (Yes I know I'm being a little evil but it's so much more fun to have the readers wanting to read the next chapters.)
Ruby: You're kidding...I must be physic or something. And believe me Amanda will find out in this chapter and it will not be pretty.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHPATER 9: BETRAYAL
It had been two days since Jillian moved in. Kurt had been avoiding her like the plague. Every time they were in the same room together she would flirt with him or something else.
A few times he caught her winking at him, and a few times when no one was looking she blew him a kiss. Kurt was currently in his room. He was thinking how the hell he had gotten into this.
He had a girlfriend he loved with all his heart but now he had this other girl that wouldn't let up, no matter what. He was lucky Amanda hadn't noticed any of this yet, but it could last. She was a smart girl and would figure something was wrong, if she hadn't already.
He sits there thinking of what he should do, when there is a knock on the door. At first he's afraid it's Jillian, but then realizes she wouldn't bother knocking. "Come in." He says.
The door opens and Amanda walks in. She has a worried expression on her face and after gently closes the door she walks over to Kurt and sits down next to him. "Kurt what's going on? You've been acting weird for a few days now."
Kurt mentally curses the fates. He was hoping this would just go away and he wouldn't have to deal with this. "Nozing." He said, but he can see she doesn't believe it.
"Kurt." She says sternly. "I know something wrong, please just tell me. No matter what."
Kurt sighs. He knows he shouldn't be keeping secrets from her, but he's afraid of her reaction. "Alright I vill...but you von't like it." He tells her about Jillian and everything that has been going on.
He can see her jaw clenching and her fist balled up but she seems to him to be taking it well. "I see." She says, but he can hear the venom in her words. "Kurt first off I wished you'd told me sooner. But I understand your reasoning, know if you'll excuse me I need to go calm down before I have a talk with Jillian."
Kurt is about to stop her, but she flashes out of his room. "Zis vill not end vell." Kurt moans to himself.
Meanwhile Blink is in her room reading a new magazine she just got, she is startled by Amanda's sudden appearance but even more startled by her actions. "THAT BITCH!" Amanda screams out and kicks the dresser.
Blink is left opened mouth at this. She had never seen Amada this mad, or swear before.
"When I get my hands on that skanky, blue furred slut I'll tare that bitches' wings off!"
"Amanda!" Blink says to her. Amanda turns to face a completely shocked Blink staring at her like she was a madwoman or something. "What's going on?"
Amanda told her roommate and friend all about what Kurt had just told her. Blink was astonished. "I thought something was wrong with Kurt. He kept disappearing all the time that she was around now that I think of it. I just can't believe she's doing that, I mean everyone knows you and Kurt are an item."
"Tell me about it. I just came from Kurt's to calm down first before I confront her." She said through gritted teeth.
"And...are you calmer?" Blink cautiously asked her.
"Better, but I can't wait anymore." She said then disappeared. Blink stared at the space where she was.
"This will not end well." She said out loud to herself.
LIVING ROOM
Jillian was in the living room stretched out on the couch. She was flipping through a magazine, when Amanda bust in. No one else was in the room and she made a beeline to her.
"Can I help you?" She said not taking her eyes of her magazine.
"Yes." Amanda said coldly. "You can stop hitting on my BOYFIREND!"
Jillian stopped reading her magazine put it down on the table and got up. She stood up straight and looked Amanda in the eye. "First off I don't see a ring on either of your fingers, secondly him and me were made of the same cloth."
"I mean look at you. Kurt and me are the same, and you...well you're just plain. I mean do you really think it will work out. Besides why would he want you while he can have all of this?" She said gesturing to her curves and then to her more 'developed' features then Amanda had.
Amanda couldn't take it anymore and slapped her. Jillian's face turned with the slap and when she looked back at Amanda she was looking at her with pure anger while holding on of her hands to her face.
Jillian slapped Amanda back, and hard. Amanda stumbled back and sank to one of her knees. Jillian stood there looking over her with a smug expression. "What he sees in a weakling like you I have no idea."
Amanda lunched herself spearing Jillian in the chest. They both went down fighting each other.
"Bitch!"
"Skank!"
"Flat chested!"
"Slut!"
They continued to yell back and forth luckily all the commotion they were making brought the attention of some of the students. Sam, Tabitha, Ray, Bobby and Jubilee were to first to arrive.
"What the Hell?" Tabitha said looking at the site.
"Shouldn't we stop this?" Sam asked everyone.
"Do YOU want to get into the middle of THAT?" Ray said pointing at the two on the floor going at it.
"I see your point." Sam said looking back.
"Alright what's going on in here?" Bellowed Logan. "You two stop it! RIGHT NOW!"
After they pulled the two apart Logan looked at the two girls. "What's all this about?" He asked sternly.
"She's trying to steal Kurt from me!" Amada shouted out.
"Like you could keep him!" Jillian shot back.
"Alright both of you to you're rooms." Logan said to them before another fight broke out. The two lingered staring daggers at each other. "NOW!" Logan said. They both walked off still glaring at each other.
The two had been in their rooms alone for over twenty minutes while Logan talked to the professor.
Jillian was on her bed. She had her wings folded so she cold lay on her back and currently had her arms folded across her chest. 'I better work quickly I don't know how much more I can take it here.'
Gale opened the door to their room and walked in. She went to her bed across from Jillian and sat down looking at her. Gale could see a bruise on Jillian's face and had heard what had happened.
"So." She began. "Is there some reason you picked a fight with Kurt's girlfriend?"
Jillian looked at her. "Look I like Kurt and I get want I want. Besides she's not good enough for him." She said. Jillian noticed Gale almost looked hurt or something. Before she continue on her line of though Xavier spoke up to her.
(Jillian, Amanda I want both of you in my office right now.)
'Great, more time with the head telepath.' She thought.
She and Amanda spent the next fifteen minutes getting a lecture about their behavior and were grounded for a week and had extra chores. She didn't care, it wasn't like she would be here that long.
After that she went back to her mission. She had spent the last few days gathering information. She found out about Forge and had seen him a few times in his lab. In fact, he was too easy to get information out of him.
All she had to do was as ask about any of his inventions and he would go on and on about them. She smiled and faked interest for all of hi inventions. Then yesterday she had a break through.
He told her about a device he used on Kurt to slow down his transportation through the dimension he usually traveled. From his description her Lord had given her it sounded like she had found what she came for.
She moved into Forge's lab. It was filled with gadgets and things. Some looked half finished. "Forge you in?" She cooed.
"Over here." Came his voice. He was working over something in on a workbench. She moved over to him and looked over his shoulder. She had no idea what he was working on.
"Hard at work as ever huh?" She said smiling at him.
Forge smiled back at her and then put his tools down. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Jillian just shrugged her shoulders. "Got bored, so I thought if you had anything interesting going on here." She lied. She looked around and found what she was looking for and went over to it. "You know I remember how you told me about his things sending Kurt to that place and I was wondering...if someone took this to that place and then used it what would happen?"
Forge considered it. "Well if it were adjusted properly it could send something back here. I mean those dino-things would be an interesting thing to study, that is if we could house train it first." Forge joked.
She laughed at the thought of one of those creatures being someone's pet. She looked at it. "Most likely it would be hard to adjust it like you said, would most likely take days to do."
"No not really." Forge said walked over to the device and fiddled with the dials. "There, all done."
Jillian stared at it in astonishment. "That's it? You are a genius." Forge rubbed the back of his head and blushed slightly at the compliment.
"It's nothing I mean it's fairly easy for me."
Jillian smiled but not just at Forge but at the fact that tonight she could finish her work.
THAT NIGHT
Jillian was in her bed. She had spent the entire day waiting for this moment. It was just waiting for her roommate to fall asleep. She waited until past two in the morning to be sure Gale was asleep.
She slowly got out of bed. She hadn't changed into any sleeping cloths and had made sure Gale didn't notice she hadn't. She creped to the door and silently opened it. She didn't bother closing it in case the sound woke Gale up.
She made her why stealthily into and down the hall. Little did she know that Gale wasn't asleep as she had thought. She had been picking up strange emotion from Jillian all day and it was worrying her. So she also pretended to sleep.
As soon as Jillian was down the stairs Gale got up and made her way behind her. She followed Jillian as far away as she could. She noticed that she was heading to the labs and soon it became apparent she was going to the one Forge usually worked at.
Jillian was so caught up in finally finishing this she didn't notice she was being followed. She made it into the lab. She left the lights off since she had excellent night vision. She moved over to where the device was careful not to tip over any of the stuff Forge had a tendency to pile up.
She had just made it to the table when the lights went on. She was momentarily blinded and when her vision cleared she looked to the door and found a very pissed off looking Gale standing there.
Gale moved closer to Jillian. "You have a lot of explaining to do." She said angrily.
Jillian looked sternly at her. "Sorry it's nothing personal but I was sent here to get something, and now that I have what I need my Lord will be very pleased with me." Then she looked slightly sad. "Sorry about this, you were nice to me and maybe...we could have been friends in another life."
Gale was slightly confused then Jillian kicked her hard in the stomach. It was a hard kick and she fell back to the floor hard. She began to stager to her feet then one more kick to her head sent her into darkness.
She woke up in the medical ward. She felt a bandage on her head and as her vision blurred she knew Jillian was gone and had taken whatever it was she had taken. She looked back into the ceiling.
She felt the tears of Jillian's betrayal beginning. She had thought she was her friend and...she liked her. Even if she didn't feel the same. She had never been beaten like that, hurt like that before in her life.
She began to wonder what else in this world could happen to her. Her life seemed so simple before, now everything was different. She didn't know what hurt more, her body or her heart.
Mr. McCoy came in he did his thing, told her what she already knew about Jillian gave her something for her headache. He talked to her but she barely listened, it wasn't anything she already knew or had heard.
She just wanted to be alone for a moment. When he finally left after making sure she was doing fine, well at least physically, she laid there in her bed in silence. Then she silently cired.
NEW YORK CITY
In an unassuming house in the city of New York, a man in blue with a red cape is sitting crossed legged hovering several feet off the ground. He's in a huge library filled books and scrolls that lined the walls.
A giant carpet with glyphs over it is on the floor. The room is decorated in very old yet stylized pieces of furniture and many interesting things that look like they belong in a Harry potter book are in the room.
Currently this man named Dr. Stephan Strange is using a mediation technique while levitating cards into a house of cards. He is calm and at peace but then the cards shudder violently and they all fall.
Strange is surprised by the event. He floats down and looks at the cards. They are all faced down except for one. He bends down and picks it up. It is a tarot card, but not any card. It was the Devil card.
He looks at the red skinned and horned image on the card. "Oh, no." He says realizing what the signs pointed to. "He's found a way out."
