August 15th cont.

When I woke up (again) my first reaction was to look for Logan. He still was on the ground unconsious and seemed to be healing from leftover wounds. Healing very slowly. I checked myself over and could feel no wounds. Looking around I tried to get a better idea of the cavern. Once again I was scared. ( Mental note: I figured out that from now on I'm NOT touching Logan skin to skin. TOO DANGEROUS!).

It did take a few minutes for my eyes to adjust of course, but when I did and I had the quiet to look I realized how, well, beautiful the cavern was. Okay, so it wasn't made of sparklying crystals or anything but it was kind of cozy. Also it had water! There was this pool like thing to the right of me. At that time I realized how thirsty I was, so I did the natural thing. As I bent down to cup up some water I made a startling discovery. The green, it was GONE! And I mean gone! There was no trace. Amazed, and slightly worried I looked myself over and over again. No, my eyes weren't decieving me. My eyes were still the same and I still had the auburn hair, but the forest green was gone. Unfortunatly my "celebrating" didn't last long. Because as I looked at the water I saw the reflection of Logan standing above me.

Instantly I turned my claws pointed out, even though I was kinda on my back. And since no one is going to read this diary I will admit that I was scared to death. The thing is though Logan slightly paled when I did this.

Raising his hands in a peacful, surrendering manner he said, " Kid, Kid, wait! I ain't gonna hurt you."

" Oh, right," I said, " Not like I've heard that before." (sarcasm, remember).

" Listen kid, Hannah, isn't it?" he asked unsure.

Slowly I nodded my head still keeping an eye on him. At least he knew who I was. That could be a good sign, Right?

" Listen kid," he continued, " I...I'm sorry for scarin you. But you have to believe me, I'm not going to harm you."

That statement is what finally did it. I had been through so much in one night and he DARES to say he won't HARM me? Like I was worried about that.

Furious I bolted to my feet and with a courage I've never seen I shouted, " HURT ME! YOU THINK I'M AFRAID THAT YOU'LL HURT ME!THERE'S A LAUGH! THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD YOU CAN DO THAT WILL MAKE THIS NIGHT ANY WORSE!"

I guess I must have shocked him because all he could do was look at me in stone silence.But even then I wasn't finished.

I continued, " ALREADY TONIGHT I HAVE HAD MY BEST FRIEND ATTACK ME! I'VE BEEN SHOT AT, BEATEN, DUMPED, SCARED TO DEATH, STABBED (at which he looked uncomfortable), TURNED GREEN!DRAGGED YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF SOME LABRATORY! BEEN HELD HOSTAGE BY YOU, LOST MY FRIENDS TO SOME CREEP IN A LAB COAT, BEEN KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS MORE TIMES THANI CAN COUNT, HAVE HAD A SPLITTING HEADACHE!AND USED UP MORE OF MY OWN REGENERATIVE ABILITY THEN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE!ON TOP OF THAT ALL SENSE OF TIME HAS GONE OUT THE WINDOW! I'M TIRED, I'M SORE, AND ALLI WANT IS TO GOHOME!"

I must sayI was rather impressed at my outburst. NormallyI'm a calm person and it takes a lot to get under my skin. But right now I was tired, frustrated, and above all confused. To Logan's credit he didn't say anything but let me rush it allout. Though I also don't think he expected such a temper from me. What can I say?

After I had shouted myself hoarse, all Icould do was collapse. The screaming just took everything I had left out of me. I was exhausted and just couldn't stop myself. I justslid to the floor and began to cry.That's all I did was cry. Looking back I kinda of think myselfas acting like a baby but I couldn't help it. It was just all to overwhelming.

So like I said I sat there and cried. It wasn't balling or anything it was just a hopeless sob that helps no one.Then a suprising thing happened. AsI sat with my back to the pool of water Logan took a step over and sat beside me.I suppose he was hesitantat first, but finally he put an arm around my shoulder and said, " Here kid, lean into me."

Ididn't need telling twice.To weak to say or do anything I just laid my head against his shoulder and cried. I cried and cried and cried. I don't know how much time past but if felt like an eternity. FinallyI stopped and just lay there on his shoulder breathing heavily.I could feel his eyes on me and lookedback at him.

This may sound weird, but for a moment I think I saw the true man. I mean most of the time Logan has this bad ass attitude that the world can go to hell. Yetnow as I looked at him his eyes looked as though he was tring to understand, and to share my pain. I'll never forget that look as long as I live.

Unfortunately before anything could be said a cruel voice saidin front of us, " How sweet you've bonded. It will make death even more bitter sweet."

Turning we both saw our worst fears. The creep in the lab coat was blocking our exit. And with him were soldiers all holding tightly onto my friends. With Rouge standing alonebeside a creature in a wheelchair.
