Chapter Eight

They jumped off the couches as the bars went down. Katie and Jr ran and hid in another room. Jean shut the door to the living room. Steve began to push things in front of it.

"How bad is it?" Logan asked.

"It's bad,'' Steve said.

Just then the things flow away from the door and the door burst off its hinges. Kathy walked in. Charles sent a message to everyone. They quickly ran out of another door. Beast was pushing Charles wheel chair. Kathy followed. They ran into the danger room, then out of the other door. Kathy walked into the room. She walked to the middle when the doors shut. She looked around as the seen bagan to change.

"Level 20,'' Charles said,'' This should help.''

Kathy began fighting everything that came at her. She beat the level in about five minutes.

"This isn't going to work,'' Steve said,'' I must do something.''

"What are you going to do?" Logan asked.

"POWER UP,'' Steve shouted.

Steves skin went black. When the his body stoped glowing, he was wearing black leather pants with a black shirt. He turned to the others. His eyes were glowing black.

"Unlike Kathy,'' Steve said,'' I have control over my bad half.''

"Okay,'' Charles said,'' Go down there. Just knock her out.''

Steve nodded and ran out into the danger room. Kathy turned to him. She had her claws out.

"You will die,'' Kathy hissed.

"No,'' Steve said,'' I'm stronger then you.''

They began to fight. The others watched. The fight lasted about two hours.

"This isn't going to work,'' Logan said.

"Why don't I just shock her?" Storm asked,'' That could knock her out.''

"That's a good idea,'' Charles said.

Charles sent Steve a message. Steve left the room and Kathy followed. They ran outside, where everyone else was waiting. Storm steped forward. Steve ran behind them, while Kathy stoped.

"Time for you to go,'' Storm said as her eyes went white.

The sky went dark. Kathy just stood there watching her. Kathy looked up. Just then lightning hit her. She screamed.

"Storm stop,'' Charles said.

The sky went back to normal. Kathy stoped screaming. A memory came back to her.

Memory

"I don't want to,'' A ten year old Kathy yelled.

"You'll do what I say,'' A woman yelled back.

"NO,'' Kathy shouted,'' YOU CAN'T MAKE ME MOM.''

"Don't call me mom,'' Emily yelled,'' That's it. Take her to the electric chair.''

"NO,'' Kathy shouted as two gaurds draged her into a room and strapped her to the chair.'' NO.''

"Do it,'' Emily grined.

Someone turned on the machine. Kathy began to scream. They turned off the machine, then turned it back on.

End of memory

Charles was reading Kathys mind.

"I think that was a bad idea,'' Charles said, sadness in his voice.

Kathy fell to her knees in tears. Her eyes went back to normal, but her clothes stayed. Kathy sat down and pulled her knees to her chest.

"No more,'' Kathy muttered,'' I'll listen from now on, just don't shock me anymore.''

Kurt ran over to Kathy and wrapped his arms around her.

"It's okay,'' Kurt whispered,'' Nothing is going to hurt you anymore.''

The others walked over to them.

"She should go to bed,'' Jean said.

"Kurt,'' Charles said,'' Take her to her room.''

Kurt nodded and teleported to his room. He picked Kathy up and set Kathy on the bed.

"Go to sleep,'' Kurt whispered.

Kathy closed her eyes. Kurt sat down next to her. Kathy opened her eyes.

"I can't sleep,'' Kathy whispered.

"Just close your eyes,'' Kurt said.

Kathy nodded and closed her eyes.

"Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down, I harm vill ever come to you as long as I'm around, I am not afraid of what people say or do. The only thing a fear is being hear... vithout you,' Kurt sang.

Kathy was asleep after the song. Kurt didn't even notice that Logan was watching him. He did say anything for about an hour.

"Nice song,'' Logan said.

Kurt jumped up and looked at Logan.

"How much did you hear?" Kurt asked.

"The whole thing,'' Logan said,'' It was very nice.''

"Thanks,'' Kurt muttered sitting back down.

"It's dinner,'' Logan said,'' Just thought you wanted to know. You've been hear for nearly an hour.''

"Do you vant me to vake up Kathy?" Kurt asked.

"Ya,'' Logan nodded,'' I think she'll want dinner.''

"Logan,'' Kurt said,'' Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure,'' Logan said.

They left the room and went into Logans room.

"Kathy told me something,'' Kurt said,'' She said she read your mind and that vas the reason she didn't vant to go get you.''

"I was thinking of the things I could of done to stop you from going out,'' Logan said,'' I'm stil mad at you.''

"Vhy?" Kurt asked.

Logan didn't say anything for awhile, then he said,'' I just think she can do better then you. You guys have hardly anything in common. You have a tail, pointed ears, and sharp teeth, while her skin is just blue. There are alot of other things too.''

"How do you know that ve don't have nothing in common?" Kurt yelled,'' You hardly even know her.''

"That's because of you,'' Logan snarled,'' She spends so much time with you, that she hardly spends anytime with me. I don't even know what her favorite color is or food or drink.''

"You should plan something,'' Kurt snaped.

"If I had a choice,'' Logan snarled,'' I would kill you.''

Just then the door flow opened and Kathy walked in.

"What is with all the yelling?" Kathy asked.

"Nothing,'' Logan muttered.

Kathy read their minds and shook her head.

"Jean said it's time for dinner,'' Kathy said.

They left the room and went down into the kitchen. Kathy sat down next to Kurt and Logan sat down arcossed from Kathy.

"Now,'' Charles said,'' I just read Emilys mind. She is planing to come here tonite, so we'll be ready- Kathy are you paying attention?''

"Ja,'' Kathy said.

"Good,'' Charles said,'' She will be hear in three hours. That gives us plenty of time to think of a plan.''
