We walk in Darkness

The four let themselves into the professors' office. He was sitting in front of a small group of chairs. "Please sit" the professor said as he motioned for all of them to sit. Kao sat on the edge of a chair well the others remained standing taking in their surroundings. "So you wanted to speak to me Kao" the professor asked as his eyes slid around the room taking in the two unknown figures, Gambit and then back to Kao. Kao took a deep breath, let it out and than began. "I wanted to speak to you about myself and my friends." She said. "Would you mind introducing me to your companions first Kao?" the professor asked. Kao nodded and then introduced Selene, Michael and an already known Gambit to the professor. She explained their situation including the metal band around Remy's neck and why Selene and Michael were on the run. The professor looked closely at the collar as Gambit told him the same story he had told the three vampires. Kao also apologized for last night, much to her relief the professor didn't seem angry when he told her that was what his students had come here for to learn to control their powers. "I would gladly allow you to stay here but I must speak with my students first since this is their home to." The professor told them as he wheeled toward the door. The four remained seated knowing that the professor was going to speak with his students. "Koa aren't you coming?" the professor asked when he had reached the door "What why?" she asked confused "You are still an X-man Kao no matter what happened last night of what will happen tomorrow." Professor X said quietly. Kao sat gaping for a moment then she looked down "it isn't my place." she said. But the professor wouldn't let the subject go after some debating Kao finally followed him down the hall and into a room where the team was already seated and waiting. Kao took a seat apart from the others. The professor explained the situation to the X-men but Kao noticed that he left out Gambits reason for being there. No doubt he wanted either herself or Gambit to explain. When the professor had finished the debate started. Kao stayed out of the conversation seeing some members of the team shoot her strange looks. Kao didn't speak until the subject of Gambit came up. "The others at least have a good reason for being here but why is the acolyte here?" Scott asked glancing over at Kao. Now Kao knew it was her turn to speak "He's here because I brought him." She said standing up "Yeah well how do the two of you know each other acolyte buddies together that's why the two of you were talking in that weird language ." Scott sneered. Kao look as though she could have hit Scott right then and there but she stopped herself "Gambit and I go back a ways 15 years in fact and that language is Vamperian the vampire language I taught it to him and I've told you before he's not an acolyte." Kao hissed at him "He is an acolyte!" Scott snapped annoyed that Kao wouldn't admit that Gambit was the enemy. "Acuity Scott he isn't." the professor said simply "What!!!" everyone yelled in union staring at the professor. Kao smirked at the shocked look on Scott's face. "But how can he not be an acolyte professor?" Jean asked just as shocked as everyone else. "Kao would you like to explain?" the professor asked as everyone's attention turned back to Kao. "No let Gambit tell his own story" she said looking the professor straight in the eye. The professor nodded and contacted the others with his TP

A minute later Gambit, Selene and Michael entered the room taking up places around Kao who had her arms crossed over her chest and was glaring around the room daring anyone to make a comment about any one member of the group. After Gambit had told his story the room sat in a shocked silence. Most of the X-men didn't know what to think. Well others had made up their minds to either accept the group or not to. After wards the professor used him TP to see what everyone thought about the situation. After he had seen everyone's opinion the professor made his decision "You may all stay but you must follow the rules that were set down for everyone in the mansion." The professor told them. Each person in the group nodded showing that he or she understood. Kitty stood up to stretch and to open the curtains. She didn't know why they were closed in the first place. Kao saw what Kitty meant to do "Kitty don't!" Kao called out but it was too late Kitty was already opening the curtains. Lucky for Selene and Kao that they were close to the door (and fast). The two were out of the room before any damage was done. Kitty turned around to find more then half the room looking at her as though she had just done the stupidest in the world the rest of the room was looking to where Selene and Kao should have been. "What?" Kitty asked seeing the looks everyone was giving her "Don't you know anything about vampires!?" Rouge asked

"I know they drink blood." Kitty said totally grossed out by that fact alone. Rogue rolled her eyes, well Gambit's shoulders shook with silent laughter not surprised that Kitty didn't know anything about vampires. Rogue got up and closed the curtains. Then she began to explain "Kitty you can't open the curtains because the sun light kills vampires."

"What why!?" Kitty asked horrified that she could have just killed two people.

"Because we are creatures of the night." Selene said. She and Kao had slipped in silently. "Because of what created us we are destined to remain forever in darkness." Kao added

"And what exactly created you?" storm asked. Kao, Selene and Michael traded uneasy looks vampires secrets were rarely told to humans. Koa shrugged the three of them were hardly ones to follow tradition. All of them took seats as Kao told the story of The Sons of Covenis. After that story the four got into Selene and Michael's tale catching everyone's interest with the amazing way they told stories. Through out the story a few of the students had left still not agreeing with the professor's choice to let Gambit stay. Scott disagreed with the professor the most thinking that Gambit had tricked the professor some how. The other two were Rahne because like a wolf she didn't let new wolves into her pack easily and Sunspot for the main fact that by just powering up he could kill two of the people in that room.

Kurt led the group down the hall toward one of the empty rooms. Oddly enough Gambit had been given a separate room that had a connecting door to the room that Kao, Selene and Michael shared. Kurt did a mental shrug maybe it was a vampire thing. When they had reached the rooms Kurt bade them good night and ported to his room copying the vampire by sleeping during the day. Almost everyone else in the house did the same.

Over then next few days the X-men tended to avoid Gambit and the vampires which wasn't exactly hard since they slept during the day well everyone else slept at night. One day Kurt and Even were playing one on one football. Even was knocked backwards making him fall and shooting spikes out of his arms. To bad for the boys though because one of the spikes had hit the football ruining it. "O man what do we do now?" spyke asked. Kurt thought for a moment "Hey we have another foot ball in the spare room." He said

"Yeah but isn't that where those vamps are staying?" Evan asked glancing up at the spare rooms closed window. "O yeah...well what if I just ported up there grabbed the ball and ported back down it'll only take two seconds." Kurt suggested. "Alright"

"BAMF"

Gambit sat leaning against the door that connected the two rooms. He had his ear pushed against the door listening for any sound from within. He had woken early there was about an hour or two before the sun set and Kao woke. From inside the room he heard a strange noise near the door "BAMF". That was the sound the elf made when he teleported which meant 'Kurt was INSIDE'. The blue boy didn't know why they weren't supposed to go in there. Making up his mind fast Gambit did the most insane in his mind... which was to open the door.

BAMF. Kurt teleported into the room close to the connecting door. Right away he knew he shouldn't be there. In the middle of the room Kao, Selene and Michael floated in mid air. They were sitting cross legged with their hands on their knees. The room was filled with an eerie light and even though wasn't any wind the three's hair was floating around strangely. Kurt was about to port out when in one quick moment Kao's, Selene's and Michael's head whipped around to stare straight at him. He noticed that each of their eyes were glazed over with a different color

Kao's eyes were Neon blue flecked with silver...Selene's were blood red flecked with black ...and Michaels were gold flecked with neon green

Suddenly bolts of power began shooting around the room hitting anything that stuck out. Kurt felt a hand grab his shoulder and yank in to the next room as another bolt of power hit the wall beside his head.

"What did you do now?" Gambit said jokingly as he pulled Kurt into his room. "I didn't do anything!" Kurt said shocked that Kao or even the others would attack him. Gambit stopped at the door out to the hall and listened. Through out the two rooms all you could was silence. "Uh-Oh" Gambit muttered as he pulled Kurt into the Hall. "Gambit what is it?" Kurt questioned

"Run" was Gambits reply "What why?" Kurt asked "Run!" Gambit told him more urgently as he began running down the hall. Kurt follow suit. Suddenly the two of them were thrown off their feet as a huge explosion rocked their part of the house. The windows in eight different rooms shattered. Kurt grabbed Gambit's shoulder and teleported them outside to where Spyke and now some of the other students were watching the right side of the mansion, wondering what could have caused an explosion. Gambit looked at the sky it was dark enough for the vampires to venture outside. Gambit smirked here come the fireworks he thought to himself. Scott seeing him smirk had a feeling that Gambit would lead them to what had caused the explosion. "What do you know about this Lebeau?" Scott asked coldly

"Remy had nothing to do with this." Gambit told him "But I would either ask Him..." Remy said jabbing his thumb at Kurt "or I'd ask them." He continued pointing to Kao, Selene and Michael who were jumping off the balcony and coming toward the gathering of mutants below.
