X - Angel

Chapter 16

After about Two hour's combat training, Logan and Piper, were sitting down having a rest. "So," Piper huffed. "How am I doing?" She asked.

"Really good actually. I wouldnt of thought it from someone,... of your size." Logan replied.

"And what's wrong with my size?" Piper, playfully defended.

Logan gave her a look. "I dont want to get into a conversation, where it's obviously going to lead to a question, of weather your ass look's big..." He softly chuckled.

"Hey?!" Piper, retorted, and slapped him in the arm. "You know... I could alway's train with Scott... then what would you do with your time?"

"Have fun?" Logan retorted, just as Warren came in the room.

"Warren, hey." Piper gladly greeted getting to her feet.

"Erm... it's started Snowing outside... I was just wondering if you wanted to take a walk, or something." He suggested, giving a reassuring glance up at Logan, as he got to his feet.

The Teacher, raised his eyebrow's at the Two, and then gave a little nodd. "Half an Hour." He instructed, as he crossed his arms on his chest, as they walked out. He stood alone, and took in a deep breath, smelling a faint scent somewhere in the distance.

Piper, and Warren walked hand in hand along the border of the mansion, at the very end of the garden, by the surrounding Woodland.

"So then... you got me anything for Christmas? Or did you really forget?" Warren asked.

Piper laughed. "Now that would be telling." She teased, going to pull away, but Warren placed his hands around her waist, stopping her from moving away, and pulled her to him.

"You really are beautifull, Piper..." He admitted, stroking his finger's through her hair, as the Snow settled on the ground around them. He lent in to kiss her, but Alarm siren's started sounding, all around them.

"What the hell is that?!" Piper shouted covering her ear's, just as a figure lept through the tree's, and another fell through from the branches.

"Hello Piper..." Came that voice again.

"Lance? You bastard!" She lept for him, but was held back by Warren, as he gripped her forearm's. "Warren...?" She asked confused. "What are you doing?"

But instead of answering, his body morphed into that of a different shape. That of a Middle-aged woman.

"Ms. Darkholm...." She gasped, as the woman released her.

"Not entirely..." She replied, and morphed once more. Within a matter of seconds a Blue skinned Woman stood there, with a slight smile edged to her lip's. "I am otherwise known as Mystique..." She explained.

Piper, turned to run, but Two strong arm's gripped her from from behind lifting her up. She kicked up with her leg's and screamed. She hit the man behind, her, and he let out a slight roar, which froze Piper completely still.

Once she had regained her senses, she began to struggle again. There was only one person, who's name filled her mind -of whom was sure to hear her. "Logan!!!" She shouted. "Help me!!! Logan-" She was cut off, by the fealing of a small sting in her neck.

Her head began to spin, and she found her eyelid's heavy, as her limbs fell floppy. She managed to pull her head up, just to see Lance stepping back with a needle device in his hand.

"You... bastard-" She managed to weekly say, as her vision faded away, and she remembered no-more.

Sabertooth, nimbly carried Piper in her unconscious state, over his shoulder. The three intruder's, crept back into the forest, and were some way in, when all of a sudden Sabertooth stopped.

"What is it?" Lance asked looking over his shoulder.

Sabertooth simply gave a low growl, dropping Piper on the floor, and turned behind him, looking around. Lance made his way over to Piper's side, checking over her face, and looked up at Sabertooth.

"There was no need to be so rough..." He retorted.

"Shut up." Sabertooth replied, just as a roar could be heard not far off, and a figure came flying through the tree's stabbing Sabertooth in his back.

He let out a yell, spinning round, and grabbing Logan by the scruff of his neck, threw him back into an Oak tree. Logan jumped right up to his feet, bearing his claw's, and evil eyed Sabertooth.

"You dont belong here asshole..." He growled.

"Nor do you." Sabertooth hissed, and stepped forward's, and lept at Logan, who simply ducked from his blow, stabbing him in the groin.

After another yelling session, Sabertooth picked Logan up by his arm, and leg, and spinning round, threw him into the air. Logan hit two or so young tree's, breaking them at impact. But, as he rolled harshley on the ground, his head hit a rock, and he lost all consciousness.

"Let's go..." He heard a faint voice belonging to Mystique, before everything went quiet.
