Conclusions of Katherine
Chapter 1 - Everybody's Fool
I'm perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about our world
That never was and never will be
Have you know shapes don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled. . .
"Everybody's Fool" – Evanescence
Kitty lay in her bed, shaking as she slept.
Lance and Kitty stood by the cliff, battling. Kitty threw him a punch in the jaw. He touched his bloody lip.
"Damnit, Kitty," Lance said, pushing her to the ground. Scott shot at Lance, hitting him in the stomach. Lance stumbled backwards towards the edge of the cliff.
Kitty pushed herself onto her palms. She looked up at Lance, who was trying to maintain his balance to not fall, but didn't succeed.
"LANCE!" Kitty screamed, running towards the cliff.
"Kitty, no!" Rogue called, racing to Shadowcat.
Kitty got to the edge as Lance fell off completely. Kitty reached for him, but missed.
"Goodbye, Kitty," she heard him say before falling into the ocean and the rocks in it.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!" Kitty screamed, sitting up in bed, tears on her face and beads of sweat everywhere.
Rogue sat up, looking over at Kitty. She raced to the younger girl, who was crying. Rogue took Kitty in her arms.
"Nnnnooo! Lance!" she sobbed in Rogue's arms. "Nooo!" Rogue held the young girl, wanting to cry herself.
"It was just a nightmare, Kitty, nothin' more," Rogue comforted. "Nothin' more than a nightmare."
Evan, Jean, Scott, Kurt, Jubilee, Amara, Jamie, and Ray ran into Kitty's room.
"Is she okay?" Jean asked.
"She's alright," Rogue said. Kitty looked up, pulling away from Rogue and wiping her bloodshot eyes.
"Yeah, just a bad dream," Kitty said.
"A dream?" Evan questioned.
"It sounded like someone was killing you," Scott said.
"Something like that," Kitty shrugged. "It's not important." Kitty laid her head on her pillow, trying to sleep again.
"Go back ta sleep ya guys," Rogue said, tucking Kitty in. "Ah've got Kitty."
"Alright. But you know where we are if you need us," Ray reminded. They filed out.
Rogue sat on the side of Kitty's bed, watching her sleep.
"Oh, Kitty," Rogue sighed, running a hand through Kitty's hair, "Ya poor thang."
Kitty started to cry in her sleep again. Rogue lay next to her and pulled her close.
"Ah'm here, Kitty, Ah'm here fer ya," Rogue comforted. Kitty shook in her arms.
"Lance," she whispered. Rogue felt tears in her eyes.
Lance stole Kitty from them when they had met and now he was tearing her apart. Everything that Kitty had worked for was falling out of place and Rogue knew it. Lance had been a jerk since forever, but this was going too far.
"When Ah get a hold of ya, Alvers, ya'll be puppy chow," Rogue thought, before going back to sleep. Kitty seemed to settle better, but was still crying and shaking.
