((Ayushi: hey I'm so glad you decided to read this story. Its been so much fun to write. I love the reviews I got all positive always a good sign. This is my first story with an original character in a long time. I hope that she isn't to power but you'll find out why she is that way later. -wink- I'm not telling you all a secrets so soon.
Arial: Are you sure you want to continue with this?
Ayushi: Of course why won't I?
Arial: Oh thought you would want to STOP invading my life
Ayushi: Well sorry but I thought the people should know. Oh so you know sometimes the characters stop by and say a thing or two in my authors notes. Now without father ado the next chapter.))
Arial walked behind Logan effortlessly, she used her torso to jump forward and her one good leg jumped also as if her whole body didn't noticed the loss she had suffered. She still had a certain grace about her, and an air of dignity. She would have liked to be on her hands and foot again, but she decided agest it knowing others may find it animal like and look down on her. She fallowed the man's form in front of her, watching his movements memorizing them. she might need to know that information in the new future.
She looked around her at the walls. Most her wooden like the floor under foot (no pun intended). She put to memory the turns they took and where the windows were. She did her best to remember every detail of the place right down to the ceiling lamps.
She took a deep intake of breath. What she smelt stunned her, and she had to grab onto the wall to keep from falling over. She smelt carpet, food and children, but that wasn't what shocked her. She was shocked by the feeling she got in the air as it passed into her. The feeling of power, pure, untamed power.
She had tasted real power before in when she had first developed her own and they were still wild, but this it was something new. Many young children and teens with power of unspeakable nature and volumes. She gasped taking it all in.
Logan had heard her crash to the wall. He looked back growling at himself knowing it hadn't been a good idea just to let her walk around like that. She had just got her leg amputated, and she had almost died in the process. He went over to Arial, and put an arm around her. When she didn't pull away he picked her up.
It wasn't until he started moving again did Arial noticed she was in his arms. She looked over at him stunned. She was about to fight it when she heard her mother's words again 'The Wolverine won't hurt you'. She wanted to go back in time and strangle her deranged mother for her words. She better have been right or Arial might be in for a world of trouble.
"You guys got yourself a power house here," Arial said simple trying to ignore the burning in her nose from the power.
"Yeah how'd you guess," Logan said looking down at her with a smirk.
Arial went silent when she felt eyes on her. She looked up and locked eyes with a girl. Their eyes only meet for a moment, but that was enough time for her to take the girl in. She had the most beautiful brown eyes, wide and innocent. Her hair was brown but her bangs were unnaturally white. She was short and thin, but Arial sensed untapped power beneath it.
The young woman seemed upset when she saw Arial with the man who was carrying her, jealous almost. Arial deduced this girl had claimed the 'Wolverine' as her own. Arial almost laughed at the near glare she was getting. The last thing she wanted was to take away another girl's man.
She looked up at the Wolverine and still amused. He had no idea. She could tell by his lack of regard for the girl's stare. Maybe he thought it a matter of family love or something similar. Men did have a way of not wanting to see what was there. She suddenly got annoyed. She didn't want to be part of a love triangle.
As Arial thought they had moved. By the time she looked around again she was at her new room. He took her inside, and put her down on the bed. She looked around. It was plain. A bed with covers and pillows of red, a dresser of the best oak and window. She guessed due to the sent coming in the window over looked the garden and a fountain.
"I'll be in the room to your left, if you need anything as the Professor," Wolverine said then left the room.
Arial smiled. Now she knew why the man had noticed the girl's so obvious attachment he simple didn't want to. Just like he didn't want to show her he was worried about her. But she wasn't easily fooled she could tell he was by the way he had carried her so gentle, and been so cautious about her stump. She lay down feeling the moments of danger pacing by. She left herself fall asleep reluctantly.
Arial woke up a few hours later. She had heard someone come in her room. Her eyes shot open. She saw a boy looking at her first doorway. He stood perfectly still. He looked to be no more then 16 years old. He had blond hair and blue steel blue eyes. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and blue jeans.
When he saw she was awake his eyes went wide with suprise. He watched her as she watched him. The boy stood very still like he was scared out of his mind. She guessed that the others had told everyone to beware of her. Like she was going to hurt a young unarmed man.
Suddenly the temperature in the room got amazingly colder. The moister in the air doubled at least. It wasn't Artic bad, but it was cold none the less. The sudden change in temperature intrigued her. The only other change was the boys being there.
"So you control ice," she stated. His eyes went wide then narrowed in confusion.
"Yeah how ya know?" he asked looking at her carefully.
"Temperature decrease, sudden increase in air moisture, it was the only reasonable assumption," she said simple amazed at how much English she remembered even after all this time. She wondered how long it had been.
"Oh well something no one noticed before. My names Bobby, Bobby Drake or Iceman," he said.
He came closer to reach out his hand to her. She took it and shook it gently. He caused a small layer of ice to grow on her skin.
She obviously didn't like that. She lunged at him. Before he had time to react she had her mouth and sharp teeth at his throat. He sat frozen in place. He didn't even try to fight back. He dare not move. She stayed there seriously wondering if she should bite down and rip out his throat.
Suddenly Logan passed by her door way he looked inside. He seemed relatively calm about the scene he saw in her room. He saw that it was Bobby Rogue's boyfriend and stopped. He looked at Arial until she looked up at him which wasn't long.
"Arial off," he demanded in a stern way.
He knew she won't have killed him anyway. If she had wanted to kill anyone she would have done it downstairs in the basement when she had Xavier, Storm and him trapped. Not that she wasn't capable of killing just that she didn't do it unless she had too. She was smarter then most humans that way.
She growled a little, but backed off. Logan went on his own way down the hall.
She looked down at the boy as she stood up. She expected him to run as soon as she got off, but he didn't. He stood up rubbing his neck spreading blood around. She had gotten close enough to cut him with her teeth when he had breathed out. It wasn't bad but must be annoying.
She walked over to him slowly. He winced and jumped back, but she calmed him with a look. She put her hand on his shoulder as he went tense. She bent down to his neck. He flinched slightly scared of what she might do. She brushed her tongue up ageist his cuts. She knew her saliva would help ease the pain and keep away infections. She stroked her tongue slowly over the bleeding spots.
He flinched then gave a strangled moan. After she had taken care of all his cuts she backed up and looked at him. She had had to jump back due to her missing foot which finally made him look down. A look of horror crossed his face when he saw her missing leg.
"Urg what happened?" he asked staring.
"Shark," she said simply.
"Surfing accident?" he asked remembering having heard about something like this on the nature channel.
"No don't surf," she told him.
"Really you should try it's a great sport. Maybe you and me could go together sometime," he told her looking back to her face.
"Maybe," she said softly "Was there a reason for you being here today?"
"Yeah I was supposed to tell you dinner was ready," he told her. Slowly going towards the door. He seemed a little dazed but there was no fear in his eyes mostly awe.
"Oh are they inviting me to eat with them now?" Arial asked him. He looked rather confused.
"If you mean are you invited to dinner that would be a yeah. Xavier sent me up here to tell you that," Bobby told her going to the door, "I'll huh see you there." He nodded then back out of the door and went down the hall.
She smirked sitting down. He was that bad or didn't seem it. Young and innocent but not stupid. She liked the way reacted her. She shook her head. She had only been there a day, and she was acting like a human teenager. She had to stop that. She would be gone in a month if not sooner.
