Chapter 3

'I'm tearing away'
'Pieces are falling I can't seem to make them stay'
'You run away'
'Faster and faster you can't seem to get away'
'Break'
'Hope there's a reason'
'For questions unanswered I just don't see everything'
'Yes I'm inside you'
'Tell me how does it feel to feel like this'
'Just like I do'
'I don't care about anyone else but me'
'I don't care about anyone'
'Do I really want this'
'Sometimes I scare myself I just can't let it go'
'Can you believe it'
'Everything happens for reasons I just don't know'
'I don't care about anyone else but me'
'I don't care about anyone'
'I don't care about anyone else but me'
'I don't care about anyone or anything but me'
'God Damn I love me'

-Drowningpool- Tear Away-

Thunder rolled across the city of Chicago. A 13 year old huddled in a corner. Her green cat like eyes shone in the darkness. She shook the rain off of her feathered head. She had her hand clutching a quartz rock on a leather rope necklace.

"Well who are you?" A large British man said to her.

She looked up and saw that he looked like a T-Rex.

"What is your name poppet?" He said

"K-Kathy Hunter."

"Well I'm Trex. How about you come with me."

And the story begins.

"Is that all you got Raptor?" Asked a man that looked like a reptile.

"You want all I got?" She kicked him the chest, and he flew back.

"Your getting better."

"Learning from the Zeke."

"Trex, I need one hundred bodies by the end of this week."

"You will get them Tigris, trust me."

"My boy hungers for flesh. The dragon is hard to keep sustained." Tigris said.

"I have some of the best killers in this side of the Mississippi." Trex looked at Raptor.

"My son is dangerous when the dragon comes out." Mystique stood next to Tigris.

"Ah, Mystique, I haven't seen you for fifteen years, sorry about the news of your last son, losing him and all the way you did." Trex said

Raptor noticed a small and pale boy behind Tigris. He had white hair, and his eyes were as black as coal, with four white dots were his iris should be. To Raptor he didn't seem like a threat.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Kathy said.

"Dunno. Today is just another day after school, ven ve have nothing to do. You vait all day for za school day to end, and suddenly, you have free time, and zeres no vay to spend it." Kurt said

They were sitting in a tree at the institute. They slightly shied away from each other today. Feeling awkward about what happened yesterday.

"I'm bored. I'm lying flat on this branch like a pancake. A big fluffy pancake dripping with syrup, with ready whip and strawberries on top, and a tall frosty glass of milk." Kathy sighed.
"Boy, am I hungry."

"Ja me too. Hey lets go to za movies! Ve could get food zere."

"Na, I want something with a little spice to it. Oh man. I woke up this morning and said fuck, I haven't had a boyfriend, or sex since I dumped Ian." Kathy sighed.

"Your not a virgin?" He asked

"I don't think you are too, Mr. Snuggle up with Amanda."

Kurt blushed. "Hey, um, vy don't ve go to za mall. By some CD's, get food."

"I guess why not, but I'd rather go to New Berlin and go motocrossing."

"Vy not."

"I could teach you how to ride too."

"Sure. Fall off za bike and die. Hit a tree and die. Not make a jump and die." Kurt said flatly

"Or you could stay home, fall off the couch and die."

"Lets just go to za mall."

"Fine."

Kathy was looking around in Hot Topic, a store that sells Gothic clothing.

"Too bad this doesn't come in small." Kathy hated the fact she was so skinny. She could eat five pounds of grease and lard, and she would gain two ounces.

Kurt was over at Gamestop, looking for video games, and to trade some in. Kathy wanted to hurry up, so she could meet him there since she was dying to get Halo 2 for her X-box.

Suddenly a sharp white hot pain shot through her head. It felt like being run over by a Metro train. She backed into a corner, so as not to attract attention to herself. Suddenly an image came up in her minds eye. It was a pale skinny white haired boy, but the boy was engulfed in some kind of darkness, then out cam a dragon, with black body, and large mane . But as soon as the pain came, it left.

Kathy looked around and shook her head. She walked up to the register and bought the clothes. She almost jogged out of the store.

"What are you buying?" Kathy asked Kurt

"Bunch of stuff. New game controller, and za game Armed and Dangerous."

"Ooo, I might have to steal it sometime."

"Over my dead body."

"That could be arranged." Kathy smiled. Then the pain came back. She put her hand on her forehead.

"Something wrong?" Kurt asked with concern

"My head has been hurting me suddenly. Maybe I'm just hungry. Lets grab a bite."

"Ja, sure."

"Head feel better?" Kurt asked her.

"Wa? Oh yeah, little bit." Kathy reluctantly ate a frie. Kurt stared at her. "What is it?"

"Nothing." Kurt thought about what he said yesterday. How everyone forced him to admit about his feelings for Kathy. The flame in his heart for Amanda still burned, but not as hot as it used to. A new spark was lit, and it was slowly taking away the energy that feeds to the flame for Amanda.

Kathy's cell phone rang a tune from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. "Kurt could you answer that? My head hurts too much." She passed her phone to Kurt.

"Yellow." Kurt answered "Okay, meet you in about ten minutes."

"What was that about?"

"Scott. Says zat za Professor found new mutants somewhere in Germany."

"Where?"

"Some place in za mountains, old castle zing."

"We should get going."

"Breathtaking. This must be a 15th century castle." Hank said

"Fact-tinating." Kathy said sarcastically. Her head started to throb again. Kurt stared at her, then subconsciously wrapped his tail around her waist. Kathy looked down at her waist.

"Um sorry. Mind of it's own, you should know zat." Kurt said embarrassingly. He quickly unwound his tail.

"Yeah." Kathy smiled. Her white fanged teeth stood out from the dim light in the castle. She walked in front of him, the end of her tail rose and stroked him beneath the chin. He smiled as he watched Kathy gracefully walk away toward her brother.

"Hey Camo Dude." (Just an FYI, Camo Dudes are the people that guard Area 51, secret military base.)

"Hey sis."

They stopped at a large door.

"Nightcrawler. Teleport behind the door and see what's inside." Scott said

"Are you nuts? You know how many times I vill teleport somvere and will be greeted by getting knocked out cold?"

Unexpectedly the door opened.

"That works." Rouge said.

"Ha, ha. You X-Men are as predictable as I thought." Tigris came out from the room. "You all came just as I expected you to. Hilarious."

"Who are you?" Scott said sternly.

"Tigris." He looked at the bunch, then eyed Kathy. "You look familiar."

Kathy backed down. She knew who he was, and if he was here, then Trex would be too.

"Almost like I met you. Yes, yes I did. You worked for Nigel. Raptor." He straitened his back. "Well. Since you all came into my trap so nicely, I might as well do what I was going to. Kill you."

"Over our dead rotting bodies." Logan said, unsheathing his claws.

"That could arranged." Tigris said. From behind him the rest of his team came out. And to Kathy's fear; Trex. "Kill them." Was all Tigris said. In a lash of an eye, a large black wolf leapt on top of Scott, but Scott shot it with his lasers. Lupin got back to his pawed feet. And lunged again.

Tobius morphed into a griffon. Mystique morphed into a dragon. Then Tobius took off. He was faster then she was, but in the castle, it restricted his flying abilities.

Kurt desperately tried to avoid Blade's slashes. His teleporting was quick, but Blades reaction was just as fast. Kurt teleported into a corner. Blade came up in front of him. "I'm gunna skin your blue furred hide, then hang it over my bed."

"I'd rather keep my fur, zank you."

Blade raised his right arm, ready to swipe at him.

BAMF

"Aarrrghh!" Blade screamed. When Kurt teleported, Blade's arm blade hit the stone wall, breaking his right arm blade. It shattered into millions of small pieces. "Fuck you, you bloody demon, thing!" His Australian accent heavy.

Kurt panted. He looked around and had no clue where he was. It was eerie. Like a laboratory, there were cages, and test tubes. It sent chills down his spine. He heard a noise, and the fur on his back raised. He slowly turned around, and was surprised to see a mutant that looked just like him, only a woman.

"Hello there Nightcrawler." Melissa smiled devilishly.

"How do you know who I am?"

"I know more than you think." She took out a large saber, and put it against his throat. "Your cuter than I saw."

"Vat do you mean 'saw'?"

"I mean, my little orb can let me see what I want. I've been watching you and all your friends, but I find you quite interesting." She took the blade form his throat, and pointed the tip at his groin. "For years I thought that I was the only one that looked the way I did. Until I first glanced into the orb, the all seeing orb. I've been watching you since you were a little boy. You haven't changed that much. Still cute, but more mature, in many aspects." She pressed her breasts against his chest. The tip of the saber pushed down harder, sending a small sharp pain through his nerves. He winced. He backed away from her.

"Leave me alone." Kurt grabbed a metal pipe.

"You leave me no choice Kurt." She raised her saber and charged at him.

BAMF

"You can't catch me." He said

"Haven't you learned a thing Nightcrawler. I'm just like you."

BAMF

She teleported right in front of him. She cut him in the chest with her saber.

He fell to the ground, crying in agony. Blood spurted out of his wound. He turned around onto his back, and gawked in horror as Melissa raised the saber above her head, ready to slice him into to two.

Kathy shot a bullet at Trex. "Die you bastard!"

"You shot me in the chest, do you really think that you can kill me?" He took out a gun and shot her in the arm.

"Ahaahaa." Kathy dropped her gun and fell to her knees in pain.

Trex pointed the gun at her head. "This is just the way I looked when you shot me. Look at how the tables have turned." He clicked his gun. Gun fire rang out.

"NO!" Trex spun around, clutching a gaping hole in his side caused by a grenade gun.

"The tables have turned Trex." Reptilian stared at Trex.

Tigris looked to see what happened, and saw Reptilian next to Kathy. "Traitor!" He bellowed. He ran at Reptilian and flung him across the room. His crocodile like tail grasped at a pole that stuck out from the stone wall.

Kathy got to her feet and picked up the grenade gun that Reptilian used. She shot Tigris in the leg, crippling him. The team of Tigris's all looked up.

"He's dead." Lupin said

"Nooo!" Mystique ran to her injured lover.

"Let's get out of here." Scott said

They ran as fast as they could to get away.

At the X-Jet, Kathy noticed Kurt wasn't there. "Where's Kurt?"

"I don't know." Tobius responded.

"I'm going back for him." she said

"Are you crazy? You just got shot in the arm scaly. No way in hell are you going back." Logan yelled at her.

"I'm not leaving him." Kathy ran back to the castle.

BAMF

Kurt teleported away from the lethal blow. He looked around and, again, didn't know where he was. He was outside, that has for sure, but he didn't know where. He put his hand on his wounded chest. The flow of blood slowed. He became dazed. Loss of blood was taking it's toll. He sat down and closed his eyes.

"Kurt!" He heard someone call out his name, and he opened his eyes. He saw someone run to him.

"Kurt. Oh blue boy." Kathy walked up to him and hugged him. Kurt hugged her back. "Come on. On your feet, we have to go." Kathy got up and helped Kurt up.
