A/n: sorry its taken so long to get 5th chapter up. I've had exmas, actual
school, and homework, and my boyfriend's gone to spain for a coupla weeks,
so I've been not really in the mood. But now my creative juices are flowing
again and I would like to dedicate this chapter to my sam, who is my muse
(I know normally the girls the muse but sam gives me my inspiration for
everything I ever write), and the love of my life (and don't say its corny
cuz I know it is but its true =) hes my angel )
Anyway, please read and review, I love hearing what people think of my stories (ie little diva16, cuz you give SO much nice support and I love it! Thanks =) ) From me! Instar
Longing Chapter Five
We let Logan on ahead, and I held Jean back for a second, muttering that there was a back escape door which we should use if we wanted to get in unnoticed. She sent Bobby, Rogue, John and myself running in that direction, trying to get out of the plain view which the snow put us in as soon as possible.
I muttered to Bobby, as we snuck into the back door, that the children were on the floor below, so I wasn't the only one knowing whereabouts we were heading. I felt his hand grasp my for a second, his smile sending courage through my veins as we started walking through the building. I lead the way, the only one who knew exactly where we were going, and we had to stop suddenly before turning onto the main corridor. I held my breath, as did the others, panic breathing setting in as we knew that if we got caught we may as well be dead.
"Helena, he's here, he's going to want to know about his past, what do we tell him?"
Their footsteps stopped, and I strained to hear what they were saying.
"The truth Peter, he volunteered for the operation. He wanted to see how brilliant he could become." Peter replied, muttering that that wasn't the entire truth. "What d'you want me to say? Wolverine, we drugged the Logan you were to experiment and see if you would survive the procedure and fight for us, against the freaks that all of humanity despises?"
"I like the other truth more."
"Good, so do I." There was a hollowness to their voices, and as the walked past I strained my neck to see their faces, and there was an empty sadness, an empty purpose to what they were doing. They were still mourning for the daughter they had lost all those years ago.
I wondered secretly whether they'd still love me when they knew what I was, whether their empty sadness would turn to an unrelenting hatred. I honestly didn't know. Then I realised that the others were standing there in silence, wondering about the conversation between the two scientists. Wondering about their similarity to me?
"Blanche, were they... were those people your parents?" I nodded, saying I knew my parents' names were Helena and Peter and they were scientists and I was now jumping to the conclusion that they were my parents. "They made Wolverine? God, that's weird!" I was suddenly overcome by an urge to not care of the consequences and go after my parents, find whether they still wanted me, and I burst out with a sudden explosion of energy, running after them and yelling Helena and Peter at the top of my voice.
"BLANCHE NO!" I heard Rogue shout, but by this point I didn't really care. They didn't follow me, at least not close behind. I think they were thinking what to do first. I caught up with Helena and Peter Treamore quickly, and they were looking at me with a weird kind of look on their faces; confusion and recognition all at once, and disbelief.
"Can we help you?" Peter replied to my yells and sudden silence, raising his eyebrows and staring at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"I... I'm looking for Dr Peter and Dr Helena Treamore."
"Who are you?" Helena replied, a coldness to her voice that I didn't remember. But then, I didn't really remember much of them.
"My name's Blanche, I think you're my parents."
There was a striking silence as they took in what I'd just said.
"I think you must be mistaken. Our little girl disappeared years ago, how would she know how to find us?"
"Because the people she was staying with told her all about you. They even brought her here, where she knew she'd find you."
"How did she know?"
"She's psychic. Will you hate her for it?"
"You mean she's telepathic?" It was starting to weird me out, talking about myself in the third person, but it seemed to be working on holding their tempers so far.
"And telekinetic, yeah. She misses you. She misses having a family."
"Who took her away?"
"People who thought you'd kill her once you found out what she was."
"A mutant." Helena murmured quietly. I nodded, and she asked why I'd never tried before, talking to me directly for the first time.
"Because I never left the mansion before. Til the attack that Stryker bought. He destroyed the only home I've ever known." Peter asked why I'd thought of the mansion of my kidnappers at home. "Because they didn't kidnap me. They thought they were saving me."
"You want to know whether we still love you?" I nodded, my eyes widening and wondering what they were going to say. "Blanche, we spent years looking for you. I know you don't know that but never mind. We are scientists. We know all about genetics. We know that you're normal."
"Then why are you killing us?" I heard someone say from behind me, and spun round to see John there, with Rogue and Bobby. John was the one who'd spoken.
"Because we are the country's top research and development scientists. We couldn't say no without putting ourselves in danger. And things become... somewhat different when you know its your own blood." I heard Rogue asked why it made the difference, they were other people's blood and they'd still been rejected by their parents; their blood. "They're blind. Ignorant."
'Just like the rest of the world. The rest of the world we're going to destroy.' I heard a resounding echo, and recognised the voice instantly. I'd involuntarily heard someone's thoughts, something that hadnt happened in ages.
"Magneto... he's going to do something."
"What?"
"Destroy... destroy..." I concentrated on filtering my thoughts through his helmet. "I cant figure it out... Give me time I'll keep trying."
"Keep trying while we destroy your kind." I looked up and saw my parents running off, and when I tried to follow them, I got round the corner before I noticed that a door had run home behind me, separating me from Bobby, Rogue, John and the way out.
a/n: oooh excitement... what will happen? Will she get out of the dam alive? Oooooh! Anyway please r/r chap 6 should be up real soon I have loads of time on my hands atm! Please r/r From me! instar
Anyway, please read and review, I love hearing what people think of my stories (ie little diva16, cuz you give SO much nice support and I love it! Thanks =) ) From me! Instar
