Chapter Seven

Everyone sat in the living room. Charles came in a minute later.

"Kathy is at the river,'' Charles said,'' Down in town. She'll come back later.''

"Why is she down there?" Logan asked.

"She needs time to think,'' Charles said,'' Just give her some time.''

"I really thought she would go after Emily,'' Logan whispered.

"Don't worry,'' Jean said.

"Vhen vill she be back?" Kurt asked.

"When she feels like it,'' Charles said looking around.'' Where is Todd?"

"I don't know,'' Scott said looking around too.'' He was in the kitchen when you came in.''

"Anyway,'' Kitty said,'' What are we going to do about Emily?"

"We will have to wait and see what we do,'' Charles said,'' We'll be lucky if she goes back to jail.''

They sat and watched the news the rest of the time.

Kathy sat by the river. She had her feet in it. She was thinking about everything that has happened. She knew that they had found Logan, she had watched them and they didn't even know. Kathy sighed and put her head on her knees. She sat there in silence for awhile. She didn't notice that someone was behind her, with a bat in their hands. The person swung the bat, which hit Kathy in the back of the head. She grabed her head, before passing out.

Charles was watching the news with everyone else. All of a sudden he grabed his head.

"Professor,'' Scott said running over to him.

"I'm fine,'' Charles said,'' We need to get down to the river now.''

They quickly left the mansion. It took them about ten minutes to get to the river. There was no one there.

"This is where she was,'' Jean said leaning down. Jean looked around the spot.'' Someone elses foot prints are right here, just about a fewfeet away from her. It looks like she fell down. The person moves closer...''

"Do you have to explain this to us?" Pietro asked.

"No,'' Jean said,'' Just thought you wanted to know.''

"Then what happened next?" Logan asked.

"The person must of picked her up,'' Jean said,'' And here is more foot prints leading away from here, but they stop when they get to the road. We have no idea what happened after that.''

"I think Emiy has her,'' Kurt said.

"No,'' Jean said,'' These are men foot prints. You can tell by the print.''

"Must be someone that vorks vith Emily,'' Kurt said.

Jean looked at everyone and said,'' Where is Todd? I haven't seen him for awhile now.''

"I think he stayed home,'' Lance said,'' He never came out of the kitchen.''

"He was there,'' Kitty said,'' I went in there about five minutes before we left.''

"We need to get back to the mansion,'' Scott said,'' The professor will be able to find her.''

They went back to the mansion.

Kathy was slowly waking up. She found out that she was blind folded and had a collar, like the ones Emily uses, around her neck. Her hands were tied to a pole.' Great,' Kathy thought,' These collars will block me from cerebro. They won't be able to find me.'

"You finally awake?" Someone asked.

"What do you want?" Kathy asked.

The person came closer and whispered in her ear,'' Why do you ask questions that you already know the answer to?"

"Who are you?" Kathy asked.

"Take a guess,'' The person said.

Kathy thought for a moment, trying to identify the voice.' It's not any of the x-men,' Kathy thought,' Must be a brotherhood member.'

"Todd,'' Kathy said.

"Yes,'' Todd said,'' Took you about five minutes to figure that out. How does it feel to have no power and defenseless?"

"Where the heck did you get this collar?"

"From Emilys shop. I did crawl through a window on the second floor. The others were phasing through the wall, gave me plenty of time to search the room I was in.''

"Thief,'' Kathy muttered.

Todd grined and started drasing shapes on her stomach. Kathy realized that she didn't have Kurts shirt on anymore.

"Something wrong?" Todd asked.

Kathy didn't answer. Todd grined wider.

"Do you want the blind fold removed?" Todd asked.

Kathy nodded her head and Todd took the blind fold off. Kathy looked around. It was very dirty and there was a pair of stairs.

"Where are we?" Kathy asked.

"In the brotherhood basement,'' Todd said.

There was silence for a few minutes.

"Can you please let me go?" Kathy asked.

"No,'' Todd grined.

Todd kissed Kathy on the lips. Kathy tryed to puch him away, but she couldn't. She then realised that her legs were tied up. She could hardly move. Todd pulled away from her.

"Don't touch me,'' Kathy yelled.

"There is nothing you can do to stop me,'' Todd whispered.

Todd kissed her again.

Everyone waitted outside cerebro. Charles came out a few minutes later, looking confused.

"I couldn't pick her up on cerebro,'' Charles said,'' It's like she isn't real.''

"But she is real,'' Logan said.

"I know,'' Charles said,'' I even searched the humans and couldn't find her.''

"Emily must have her,'' Steve said,'' She has these collars, that were made so people couldn't find them and they couldn't use there powers either.''

"We need to get back to her place,'' Logan said.

"She is not with Emily,'' Charles said,'' I've read her mind and she is plotting something to get you back. I found Todd, he's at the brotherhood house. He was in his room.''

"Must be getting some clothes,'' Lance said.

"We need to find her,'' Logan said.

"She can get out of what ever she gets into,'' Charles said,'' Maybe she took one of the collars and put it on, so we couldn't find her. She did want to be left alone.''

They went to the living room. Todd came running in a few minutes later, he didn't have his shirt on. He hid behind the couch Kurt and Logan were sitting on.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked.

"Kathy is going to kill me,'' Todd said peeking over the top of the couch.

"Why would she want to kill you?" Logan asked.

"Pervert,'' Jean said.

"I'm not a pervert,'' Todd muttered.

"What happened?" Steve asked.

"Um... do you want to know?" Todd asked.

Logan grabed todd, let his claws out a put them to Todds neck.

"Tell us now,'' Logan snarled.

"Fine,'' Todd said.

Flashback

Todd pulled away. Kathy had tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry,'' Todd said,'' It's not that bad.''

Kathy screamed. Todd just shook his head.' Filthy,' Kathy thought,' I can over power this stupid collar, but it's dangerous.' Todd kissed her again.' But in this case, I can take that chance.' Todd pulled away.

"POWER UP,'' Kathy shouted.

Todd jumped back as Kathys skin glowed red. He put on his pants. The pole shattered and the ropes burned. A second later Kathy was on her feet, she was an inch off the ground. Todd stared with wide eyes. The collar on her neck shattered.

"What are you doing, Kathy?" Todd asked.

"I'm not Kathy,'' She said,'' I'm red eyes, powerful and unstopable.''

Kathys skin went back to normal, but her eyes stayed red. Todd looked Kathy up and down. She was wearing blood red leather pants and a red leather shirt. Todd quickly ran up the stairs, dodging electric balls along the way.

End of flashback

"That's not good,'' Steve said. He was really pale.

"You should die,'' Logan snarled.

Charles grabed his head. Scott ran over to him.

"You okay, Professor?" Scott asked.

"Some strong force is coming this way,'' Charles said,'' Distroying everything it passes.''

"That must be Kathy,'' Todd said,'' She definitely distroyed the house.''

"WHAT?" Lance shouted.

"There are holes in the walls from electric balls,'' Todd said,'' And when we left the house, it fell down.''

"She's here,'' Charles said.
