Chapter 12: A New Enemy
I woke up with a start. I seemed confused at first, but then I remembered all the things that just happened a while ago. I also realized that I always slipped into unconsciousness many times. Could Stryker do that to me too? I might never know.
I looked around me and it occurred that I was still lying on the same spot I was before but something was different. The place was quite, too quite. There was an eerie silence all over the place. Did Stryker some how capture all of the mutants, even Wolverine? I knew that wasn't possible after all, Wolverine was a wild animal that had no feelings at all. Or is it just me that hates him?
I stood up and even time seemed to stop from such silence. I started to walk down the hallway not knowing where to go. I continued to walk until I had an idea. I could go to the garage and see if anyone is in there. I know it wasn't really a clever idea, but it was the only choice I had.
I ran towards any stairs I could fined that could go down. I soon found one but then stopped. There was some sort of conversation going on down there. It sounded like Stryker.
I quietly crepped down the stairs not daring to make a sound. As I came to a point where I could see who was talking I found out that it was Stryker after all with his 'army' of men. I also noticed a strange woman by his side looking very serious. She was looking around the area trying to see if anyone unfamiliar was around. Soon her face turned around and saw me. I quickly crouched down hoping she hadn't seen me. I looked over from the side of the wall where it was hiding me. I knew I should have never done that for that she soon spotted me peeking from my hiding place.
I didn't know she was looking at me for that she had sunglasses over her face for no particular reason. I saw her walk away and I felt relieved all of a sudden. I didn't know why but I had a feeling she somewhat was like Wolverine in some sort of way.
I didn't know why I was down there, I guess I wanted to hear what they were going to say. My hearing was good and I could pick up some sounds. All I heard was, "Cerebro"- "Find it"- Xavior"-"Have you got them all?"- "Only six." I didn't know what that even meant but I felt rough hands grab my shoulders.
Someone spun me around and I saw the face of that strange woman. I got scared and confused, why didn't I hear her coming?
She soon threw me to the top of the stairs and I landed on my back. Pain shot through me but I quickly healed.
I saw her run up to me and soon she jumped right on top of me. She started to choke me and I had nothing to do but unleash my claws. Once I did that, I stabbed her right in the chest. She seemed surprised at first, but soon she just smiled wickedly. I quickly got away from her but not before she could stop me.
She grabbed me around my waist and threw me up against the wall. I landed with a small thud with pain shooting through my back. Just how strong was this woman?
I looked up to see she was running at my direction with five claws on each hand. Wait, five claws? Was I seeing things or what? No way, that couldn't be possible. She was just like me and Wolverine except she seemed to be on Stryker's side and my new enemy. Strange, but someone like Wolverine will always be my enemy.
I had no time to think for more for that she stabbed me with her claws right in my stomach. I gave out a cry, the pain was unbearable, and it felt just like that time when Wolverine had stabbed me the first time I met him.
I knew I was healing quickly, but I didn't even seem to notice for that strange woman grabbed me again. She threw me against the window but not before I could grab on to her. We both crashed through the window with glass flying all around us and soon, we fell inside the large pool the school had.
The water was warm but that didn't seem to matter to me much. I was struggling to escape from that woman before I could reach the bottom of the pool. I trashed around wildly trying to get free, but she seemed to hold on. I was too busy trying to get free from her grasp that I didn't notice that we had reached the bottom which was about fifteen feet.
I saw the woman's foot get stuck to the bottom from a pipe that was curved like a ring. I needed air badly so with the last strength I had to fight, I scratched the woman across her face with my claws and I realized she had let go. I swam to the top like my life depending on it. I only had about two feet left but I felt so weak, my lungs were going to burst and I saw red dots but I still swam ignoring it.
Once I reached to the surface, I breathed in large amounts of air. My lungs ached from holding my breath for so long. I wanted to stay right there forever from how weak I felt, but I had to get away for that woman might get free and come after me once again.
I swam frantically to the edge of the pool. I struggled out with my wet hair covered in front of my face. Wait a minute, my hair was purple. When did I dye it that color? I didn't want to stay and think about it, I had to get out of here as quickly as I can.
I ran over the schools lawn with my wet feet making weird noises. I ran until I saw a blue car coming out of the garage. It was a sport kind and seemed very expensive to me. I didn't stop to admire at it, I ran towards it. I ran but the person driving didn't seem to notice me. He or she just drove with the schools gate opening.
I didn't stop, I continued to run until the schools gate closed and was too narrow. I didn't care; I managed to squeeze through it without much trouble.
As I passed through, I once again ran towards the car, just why in the world couldn't the driver see me?
I couldn't run any longer, I had to stop but then I saw the car slam on its brakes. I think he or she saw me from the review mirror.
As I jogged over to the car, I saw that it was Wolverine driving. Fear came over to me again, of all the people in this school, why did Wolverine have to be the cars driver?
I looked behind the cars window and saw that Rogue, Bobby and John were inside the car too. I seemed relieved a little somehow.
Wolverine opened the car door and grabbed me roughly. I was getting really frightened now. He opened the back door where Bobby and John were sitting and pushed me in. I sat beside John who seemed pissed off that I had to sit by him.
I wish John could just stop being such a dork and act like everyone else.
I saw Wolverine quickly get in the car and started to drive away at top speed.
I put my head against the cars back seat and seemed to relax a little. I was really tired and I wanted to rest awhile. I didn't even care nor did anyone else that I was soaking wet. All I wanted to do was relax and worry about where we were heading to later.
I hope I have done a good job for this chapter, I know I updated quickly, but I just feel like writing right now. Okay people, review please!
