"Marie? I know that you can hear me. Open up, darling! Open up!" Logan said as he tried to open the handle but couldn't since it was securely locked.

Dang! Boy, did she want some privacy!

Marie just laid on her bed clutching the dog chain around her neck.

Why doesn't he just give up?, she asked herself.

Logan kneeled on the floor, giving up, and said, "Marie, if you ever need me, then just talk to me please. Can you do that darling?"

Suddenly after a minute or two it all stopped.

There was no answer.

Marie lifted her head and felt that something was wrong.

He got up sadly and began to walk down the hallway.

As he was walking he felt a sudden impulse on him. With his canine like senses, he sniffed the air, and felt something familiar. All too familiar.

That's when he remembered what it was and saw Jean turn the hallway making her way towards him with perfect poise.

"You!! How could you?"

Right before him he saw the doctor turn into the real blue-scaled woman she was.

"Logan, you never seize to amaze me."

"Do you know what you have just done?"

"Oh, yes. Quite frankly I do.'

"Why did you do that?" he said once again with a gruffly voice.

"Maybe just to do this," she said quickly and sharply kicking him in the face and pushing him towards the wall.

She yelled, "Now!" and released him just in time for Sabertooth to come through before the Wolverine came out with his claws and was ready to take a slash at her.

As they fought, Mystique ran down the hall to find Toad banging the door open.

Inside, Marie was crawled up in a corner in the bathroom and was quite aware what was now actually truly going on.

Her mind was thinking too much all at once.

Logan was innocent…But he was with Jean… No, he was with- Mystique?...How did she get in here?... Were there more members of the Brotherhood with her?...Why here?...Why Logan?...Did he really care about her and was he really sorry?... What was actually going on?

All her thoughts had been stopped when she heard the banging on her door earlier. Scared as she was, she ran into the bathroom and locked her door.

Deep down inside she was hoping that her knight in shining armor would come and save

her but he did not come. She didn't care about what happened earlier, she just wanted Logan with her now and the noises outside her door were getting louder and louder. She felt her heart pulling in her. Ever since the first touch she was able to have the ability to feel all the Wolverine's pain.

She cried for him at that spot and couldn't budge. In her head, she could only feel worse and worse.

LOGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She screamed in her mind as she heard Toad and Mystique barge into her room and into the bathroom.

She stared at Mystique in her eyes. She was full of evil but there was something else about her.

"Long time no see," the blue lady told her as Toad came from behind and put a bag over her like he had done before..

She screamed Logan's name aloud and immediately Logan reacted by screaming, "MARIE!!!"

With that he was thrown down to the floor and off the balcony onto the first floor where he had laid unconscious.

Marie still was screaming while she was being carried by Toad who opened fully and jumped out her window with Mystique behind swinging and climbing down the tree like an acrobat.

Marie wish that she had enough guts to defend herself but she felt so confused and weak that she couldn't do much.

Sabertooth just jumped back down and landed with a THUD and left.

Logan sat up and shook his head and then he remembered Marie screaming.

He got up and ran up the stairs.

"MARIE!!!" He yelled as he ran up the stairs and into her room. He looked around and said, "Oh god," when he realized that she was gone.

"No…no!!!" He told himself as he looked out the window that was open. He ran to it and realized that there was absolutely no one in sight.

Author's note: This chapter was a little different, I know but I'm working on Part 4 right now so hopefully that will make up for it. Thank you for reading and please review!! See ya!!
