This is the last chapter! I hope you liked my fic. I've had so much fun writing it and letting my imagination go wild! I really like the ending though you may think it's unsatisfying. I love endings like this one! So, HERE WE GO!

Chapter 12

Cyclops nodded and went back inside the school. Wolverine followed him, leading Cobra. They went up to the professor's office where the whole X-men group and Alexander, Adianna, and Dominique were gathered.

"Cobra, so you have come back," Xavier smiled, trying to get into Cobra's mind, but it was in vain.

Cobra nodded, warily looking at Dominique and Alexander.

"I see you are uncomfortable with our new allies," Xavier commented.

"So would you if two people who hunt your kind comes in," Cobra muttered as she spared a glance at him.

"Why are you shielding your mind?" Charles asked, frowning.

"I never let my mind shields down, Professor. Especially when a witch is around. If I did, I'd be giving them my life freely, surrendering," Cobra replied softly.

Xavier nodded, "Logan, show Cobra to an empty room. Meeting dismissed."

Everyone stood and walked out of the room. Logan led Cobra down an empty hallway. Cobra decided the time was right. She threw herself on top of Wolverine. He unsheathed his claws quickly. Cobra tried to get to his throat to subdue him, but he rolled out of the way. Cobra tried to enter his mind, but it seemed that the Professor taught everyone to shield their minds. Cobra drew out a knife she made, coated with her sleeping poison. She stabbed Wolverine in the calf. Dominique Vida leapt out from a room. Cobra, so absorbed in poisoning Wolverine, had accidentally let her mind shields down. Dominique Vida reach out with her mind and twisted something in Cobra's mind, hard. Cobra bit back a scream.

Jaguar… Jaguar, I need you. Dominique Vida is after me. I accidentally let my shields down. She's twisting something in my mind, Cobra called out with her mind.

Jaguar appeared a minute later. He lashed out with his whip and caught Vida by the wrist and jerked on the whip to pull Vida aside. Dominique let go of her mind grip on Cobra and tried to attack Jaguar. He snapped his whip warningly. The rest of the X-men group appeared. Vida threw a knife at Cobra. It buried itself into Cobra's leg. Cobra toppled over and yanked out the knife as Cyclops blasted Jaguar away. Jaguar teleported over to Cobra worriedly. Storm ran down the hallway, trying to subdue the students. Nightcrawler teleported back to Xavier to report. Wolverine was still sleeping as Cyclops dragged him into a room. Only Dominique, Cobra, and Jaguar were left. Jaguar stood protectively over Cobra and cracked his whip. Xavier appeared with Nightcrawler.

"Cobra, why?" Xavier asked Nightcrawler edged away from them.

Cobra tried to fight back her hunger as she blinked. Jaguar cracked his whip again, forcing Dominique to retreat.

"Dominique, you may go," Xavier whispered.

Dominique bit her lip angrily and shook her head .

"Then get behind me," Xavier ordered sharply as Cyclops came back with Storm and Wolverine.

Jaguar surveyed the group before turning to Cobra and helping her stand. She blindly tried to walk towards the group, but Jaguar held her back and bared his throat. Cobra drank blindly as Storm looked away, disgusted. Dominique aimed a dagger and threw it, but Cobra had moved a second before. The dagger hit Cobra in the ribcage, a few inches below her heart. Cobra released Jaguar with a sharp cry. Cobra turned into a cobra and slithered towards Dominique. Jaguar leapt forward, but Cobra slithered out of his grasp. Jaguar turned into his namesake and pounced on her. He held her back as she spat furiously around.

Get out of here. I'm going to bring Cobra back to her mansion. She's lost a lot of blood, not to mention self-control. Get Dominique out of my sight before I ripe her apart, Jaguar hissed into their minds.

Nightcrawler grabbed Storm and teleported away. Cyclops dragged Wolverine away as the Professor wheeled off. Dominique glared at the vampires before storming off. Jaguar returned to his normal form as he brought Cobra back to her mansion. First he went down to the basement and let Cobra feed as Fala and Nikolas left. Then he sent the Brotherhood off and watched over Cobra as she slept.

"What happened?" Cobra asked as she sat up in her bed quickly.

Jaguar smiled, "Dominique threw her knife into your leg. Cyclops blasted me away. I teleported over to you. Storm ran off. Nightcrawler teleported away. Cyclops dragged Wolverine into a room. Xavier appeared with Nightcrawler. Xavier asked Dominique to leave, but she wouldn't so he made her stand behind him. Then Cyclops came back with Storm and Wolverine. I let you feed on me. Then Dominique aimed a dagger and threw it, but luckily you had moved a second before. The dagger hit you in the ribcage, a few inches below your heart. You released me and turned into a cobra. You slithered towards Dominique. I tried to stop you, but you slithered out of my grasp. I turned into a jaguar and pounced on you. I told them to leave and, amazingly so, they did. I brought you back to your mansion. I went down to the basement and let you feed as Fala and Nikolas left. Then I sent the Brotherhood off."

"Is life back to normal?" Cobra asked, frowning.

Jaguar shrugged, "As far as I know. I think it is."

"Is everyone in the school alright?" Cobra asked quietly.

Jaguar nodded, "Just a bit frightened. Turquoise visited when you were sleeping and so did Marie and Natalia."

Cobra nodded.

"By the way, I set up a small garden and put Shayla in it. She's been restless when I visit you too often. Well, when you were gone, Fala and Nikolas had a feast. They killed all your people except for one. You finished the last one when we came back," Jaguar smiled.

"I don't need anymore. I'll go out hunting. It's more fun, easier, and, I suppose, less cruel," Cobra sighed.

Cobra leapt out of her bed and paced the room.

"The X-men aren't coming after me, are they?" Cobra asked as she spared a glanced at Jaguar.

Jaguar shook his head, "I think they consider you as a mortal enemy."

Cobra smiled, "What's new?"

"I have about ten appointments in Midnight," Jaguar laughed, "And I can't change the time."

Cobra nodded. Jaguar smiled and vanished. Cobra sighed and fell back onto her bed as she asleep.

Cobra leapt to her feet and smiled at Jaguar who was standing at her bed.

"Hello," Cobra greeted quietly as she took his arm, "As I was sleeping, I was contemplating on a few facts. I fell like I must apologize to the X-men for my actions and that I must explain what happened."

Jaguar nodded, "I'll come with you."

Cobra teleported both of them to the school into the Professor's office. They appeared in a small corner of the room only to see the Brotherhood fighting the X-men. Cobra bit her lip as everyone noticed her. Magneto stepped forward as the Professor wheeled over to her.

"Cobra…" they started together before breaking off into different words.

Cobra shook her head, "I stand with neither."

Logan looked furious as Sabertooth growled. They both leapt forward at the same time. Cobra pushed them away with a flick of her hands.

"This can't go on. I can't have people fighting over me," Cobra whispered, but loud enough that everyone could hear.

Cobra looked at Jaguar.

All I want is your happiness, Cobra. Do what you must. I go with you, Jaguar replied in her mind.

Cobra nodded, blinking back her tears. She turned to face the fighters. Cobra sighed as she pulled out a knife. Dominique stepped forward. Cobra shook her head, signaling that the knife was not a Vida knife. Dominique bit her lip and stepped forward hesitantly.

Cobra plunged the knife into her heart, whispering, "the end."

So, THE END! Thanks for all the reviews everyone gave me! I hope you liked the fic. Thanks again! I don't know what to write about after this so I might be gone for a while.
