Jubilee raced down the forest trail, leaves puffing out behind her in a stunning display of color. She glanced behind her to see that her attacker was no where in sight. She continued to run and tripped on a rock. She clutched at her knee as it began to ache, dragging herself along the trail, sweat poured down her face and chest, adreniline beating through her system. Jubilee tried to stand but she was too weak. Suddenly he was there, the monster who was chasing her. She pushed herself against a tree as the monster crept close to her.
"Wolvie!" She screamed out in attempt to have someone hear, anyone, just somebody to save her from this monster before her.
"It's too late now frail, yer lil savior ain't anywhere near here. Yer mine." He growled out with his teeth bared. He lept towards her and reached for her throat...
Jubilee bolted into a sitting position in her bed. Her sheets were tangled around her legs and they were soaked in her sweat. She put her face in her hands and let her tears fall. She didn't look up as someone entered her room.
"Jubes, you alright?" Came the hushed voice of Taris. He sat down on the bed next to her and she launched herself around him, needing to feel close to him. "Hey, it's ok." He whispered into her ear. "Don't cry Jubes, it's alright now, nobody's going to hurt you now." Jubilee heard voices outside of her door, and heard people enter. She tried to take a deep breath as she smelled Logan's familiar cologne.
"Jubes?" Logan's gruff voice tugged at Jubilee's heart and she pulled away from Taris so she could hug him instead. She felt Taris rise from her bed and walk farther away from her. She could hear him telling the people outside her door to go away.
"I had a nightmare Wolvie." She whispered when her tears began to fade. "It was about HIM." She emphasized the him in the sentence to let Logan know exactly which him she was talking about.
"Aw Jubes, ya know he ain't gonna hurtcha anymore, he's under control, he's up in Canada and he ain't comin' anywhere near here darlin'." He whispered back to her.
"I know that Wolvie, but I'm so afraid." Jubilee bit her lip, trying to force the fear back.
"Doncha worry none Jubes, if he did come back, which he won't, I'd never let him get anywhere close ta ya. 'Sides, he'd have Dezra breathin' down his neck if he even tried somethin'." When he said the last part Jubilee smiled slightly.
"Yeah, you're probably right." She looked up into Logan's blue eyes and relaxed in his arms. "Thanks Wolvie, it really freaked me out ya know?"
"S'ok darlin', I'm always here fer ya."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Jin stood outside Jubilee's door looking in. He saw her hugging Taris and desperately wanted to be in his place. Just then the man called Wolverine pushed him out of the way and went over to sit with Jubilee. He watched as she pulled away from Taris and hugged the older man instead. He narrowed his eyes as Taris came over and told everybody to go away.
"Alright everybody, shows over, go back to bed." Taris said in a commanding tone, he sounded strangely like Cyclops. Determined to comfort Jubilee, Jin tried to push through. "Hey, stop that, she needs rest now, and so do you, go back to your room and go to bed Jin."
"No, I wanna see Jubilee." The green haired boy said.
"Listen, Logan's with her right now, and I'm here just in case, so you can leave now." Taris said the last part more like a command other than a suggestion.
"No, like I said before, I wanna see Jubilee." Jin reached out with a hand and using a single finger he drew just a small amount of energy from Taris. The unsuspecting boy dropped to the floor from sudden exhaustion, giving Jin all the space he needed to get into Jubilee's room. As he neared the bed the man holding Jubilee stood up and looked at him. He watched as Wolverine's eyes darted towards the doorway and back to him.
"I think it best if ya go back ta bed, now." The older man said.
"No, I don't take orders from you or anybody." Jin's eyes narrowed in determination. Jubilee just sat on the bed and stared at the scene developing before her.
"Go back ta bed, NOW." Wolverine's voice was getting dangerously low, he could feel the angry vibes exuding off of him.
"No."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Logan stared at the boy before him. He knew Taris was laying on the floor unconscious for a reason, and he knew it had something to do with Jin.
"I'm warnin' ya kid, ya get lost or I'll hafta go ta tha extremes." Logan's patience was wearing thin quickly. This kid was a danger to Jubilee, and he wouldn't let him get anywhere near her.
"I'm not leaving, you can't make me." When the white eyed boy said this all traces of patience were gone.
SNICKT
"I warned ya bub, now yer gonna leave weither ya like it or not." Jin's eyes widened when he popped his claws out, fear came off of him thickly. Behind him Jubilee gasped.
"Wolvie, is this really neccesary?" She whispered.
"Just stay outa this darlin', I don't want him ta hurtcha." Logan said, his voice softer than when he was talking to Jin. "Now, this is yer last warnin, either get out, or I'll pin ya ta the wall, permanently."
"I, uh, I think I'll be going now." As soon as he said that the green haired kid was out the door and into his room in less than five seconds." Logan let his claws slide back into his hands and he walked over to where Taris lay on the floor unconscious.
"Taris, time ta get up kid." He said shaking the boy slightly. He got no response so he lifted the kid up and turned to Jubilee. "I'll be right back 'kay? I'm just gonna take him ta bed real quick." Logan watched her nod then he carried Taris to his room and put him down on his bed. Then he returned to Jubilee's room and sat on a nearby chair. "I think I'm gonna camp out tonight outside yer room, just in case."
"Ok Wolvie, just try not to shish kabob the kid, he's new and he just dosn't understand the rules yet, 'sides, he's my friend." Logan nodded.
"Alright." Getting up from the chair he walked over to Jubilee, gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, and left her to sleep.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
