Ruby sat on the bed hesitantly. "Can I have my panpipes now?" She said sadly and looked around. "I've never had a room this nice" She said and blinked. "Is it really all for me?"
Ray looked confused. "It's just a standard room here, nothing special" He looked around. "There's those pipe things you had. The professor must've had it in his mind to stick you in here at the start"
Ruby ran forward, almost tripping over the chest at the end of her bed. She cradled the instrument as a mother might to a child. "I missed you" She crooned faintly and sat down cross-legged.
She began to play, a welcoming tune that seemed to alter the very reality around Ray. "What are yo-" He cut short and began to feel out of control.
Leaning back against the wall he slumped a bit as the music washed over him. His strength began to sap away from him, as he slumped forward Ray used his last essence of strength to watch the girl weaving her spell over him.
"What-is-happening" He said dully and lay on the floor, spelled into unconsciousness. Of course Ruby was so taken with her playing that she did not notice the boy drooping against her wall.
Only when Scott walked in and saw Ray did Ruby break out of her stupor. "What the fu-!" He said as Ruby gave a startled little yell.
Then Ray began to stir, rubbing his eyes hesitantly as if waking from a deep sleep. "Wha? Where am I?" He said in a sleepy voice and saw the now sobbing Ruby. "What happened?"
"She put a spell on you!" Scott said angrily, only causing the petit girl to sob harder.
"Leave her alone. She didn't mean to" Ray said, instantly springing to the girls defence and crawled slowly to her. Taking her arms he hugged her with one arm. "She's learning and she's in a new environment!" Ray blinked, why was he defending a girl he barely new.
"She's tampering with me!" He said, shocked and took a step back from Ruby.
"What? I didn't mean to. Please don't leave me alone, He'll hurt me!" Ruby, cried desolately and backed away from Scott.
"Eh? No I won't!" The brunette boy said, confused.
"She's scared of everything. When we found her there was burn marks and bruises all over her. Slim ya better leave her alone. She's like a cornered mouse" Logan had arrived and looked at the two teenagers with barely concealed amusement.
"She doesn't know what she's doing, poor kid and her powers are working out of her control. Just leave her alone. I'll send half pint and Rogue later to help her out. Then maybe 'roro" That was a dismissal; Ray and Scott both knew it.
A/N So how's that, another hint of the kids powers. Anyways review!
