Chapter Two: Problems

The next few weeks went fast for her. When she would wake up, she would eat the fresh food and water, then Jean would come and make her sleep again. It was a perfect way to catch up on all the sleep she had lost during her travels. Sometimes, she had to wait for a long time before Jean would come check on the dog. The dog wanted the be out and play and run. But, of course, Kat had to keep the dog to stay on the table.

Xavier rubbed his temples. Lately, Cerebro (I think that is how you spell it but I'm not sure. Sorry.) had been showing pictures of a dog. A Siberian Husky, laying on a table, wrapped up. Why was the computer showing pictures a dog and not mutants, he didn't know why. Scott and him had checked to make sure everything was in order. But nothing was wrong. Xavier sighed. Maybe this time it would show a person.

Kat woke up. This time, the bandages were finally off. She ate the dog food and sniffed the air. No humans were close. She quickly transformed, sliding off the table. She opened the cabinet and... the chips were gone. Band-aids were at its spot now. She cursed and slammed the cabinet shut. Suddenly, the doorknob turned. She jumped back on the table with lighting reflexes and turned into a dog. Tail had just sprouted when a small boy came in. He was holding his finger. By the smell of him, he had came from the outside. He looked up and gasped. "Doggie." He cooed, petting the dog on the head. She made sure the dog licked him. He giggled then turned to the cabinet and pulled out a band-aid. Kat turned the dog's head and stared at the open door. Freedom.

The dog leaped off the table and bolted out of the door. She smelled the air. To the right, a whole bunch of kids were coming, to the left, only two people. She decided to go with the small group. She ran left, leaving the kid yelling "Doggie come back!" behind. She skidded around a corner and ran into a wheelchair. She backed up and shook her head. That hurt! She looked up. An elderly bald man was staring intently at the dog. The other was a man, maybe in his twenties or thirties, scowled. He was wearing a weird type of sunglasses. "Scott, get that dog!" The old man said. The dog perked up it's ears. Kat turned the dog and ran the other way. She would just have to chance all the people. She turned the corner.

A bunch of teenage kids were walking down the hallway, carrying books, papers, and pens. What was this place? A school? She shook the thought off and ran in between their legs. Unfortunately, it didn't work. People tripped over the dog and papers, books, and pens went everywhere. Scott jumped the kids, still running after the dog. A door in the wall opened and Logan and Jean walked out. The dog bolted into it. The wall shut. She felt it going down. An elevator? This place was getting creepier and creepier by the second. The wall opened and the dog walked out. She was in this school hallway. It was furnished and looked very official. Homely kind of. Kat felt a pang of home sickness hit her. She heard a commotion to her left and she started running again. Stop. Kat skidded to a halt. Who said stop? It was like in her head or something. Scott and Logan turned the corner. Kat turned and ran. She thought she heard Stop again but she pushed it out of her mind. Hands went around the dog's belly and the dog was scooped up.

"Why does Charles want it?" Logan asked Scott. They were now walking up the stairs, with the squirming dog in Logan's hand.

"Professor said that Cerebro was giving him pictures of a Siberian Husky. Why is that dog even here?" Scott said. They walked in the elevator. Kat drooped in Logan's arms. She wasn't going to get out of here. Unless she turned into something else. But she didn't want to do that unless she had to.

"I ran over it. It's fine now. It's been here for six weeks." Logan answered. The bald man was waiting for them in a large circular room. It had a narrow walkway with a big computer with a head thing at the end of the walkway. Kat guessed his name was Professor and Charles. She was set on the floor in front of him. He put his fingers to the dog's temples. Was he trying to read her mind? She remembered someone trying to do that. They could read her mind if she was human but if she was in animal form, that was a different story. If you wanted to know, what a dog likes about a ball, how much they love their masters, when they are going to eat, and that they are tired and want to go to sleep, the dog form was perfect for that. He stopped a couple of seconds later, shaking his head. The dog panted, wagging it's tail.

"I think it might be a mutant." He announced. Everyone looked down at Kat. The dog barked happily.

"A dog? That's a mutant?" Logan asked, bewildered.

"No. I think it's a human. That can turn into a dog." He answered. "Dog, turn back into your form." Well, since he insisted. The dog's fur began to disappear, turning into rough scaly skin. In a few short seconds, the dog had transformed into a five foot long crocodile.

The crocodile swished it's tail around, making Logan, Jean, Scott, and another woman jumped back. The woman had tan skin and white hair. But she didn't look old. The crocodile growled and turned it's body around, snapping it's jaws at Scott. It was hungry. And food was not but a couple of inches away. Kat began to pull the croc back. But the croc was determined. It started to move on it's own, staring at the people. Which one was it gonna eat first? It didn't have water around it so it couldn't do the death roll. (Do ya'll know what the death roll is? If you don't, just ask me.) It lunged. No, Kat told it. It fought her back, grabbing the toe of Scott's boot. The only thing to do was change to human. Kat regretfully did it.

She turned back into a human, her mouth on Scott's boot. She let go of it, wiping the mud off her tounge. "Hello." The old man said, leaning back into his wheelchair. Kat looked around worriedly. They knew now. She had to fight. She had to run. Hopefully, they weren't with them. She turned to the old man, ready for anything.

Okay, I hope you guys like! And I hope my paragraphing is good. Sorry if it isn't. Please review!

For those who reviewed:

LVM: I won't leave you hanging! I'm very happy that I sparked your interest. Hope you like this chapter!

Hi: I'm glad you love it and I hope you love it even more!

Joy: Actually, you're wrong. I have seen people drive 60 miles on icy roads. And I know a person who drives a motorcycle on icy roads, going the same speed. I've been in a car doing 70 down a icy road and we never crashed. And I'm older than 13. If you didn't like it, you didn't have to read it. I'm don't hate you or nothing. But you also didn't need to be that rude. But, hey, no one likes the same exact things so I'm not complaining. Since you're review, I will strive to do better. Who knows? You might like this story after awhile. So, I hope you give this story (and me) another chance.
