Chapter Four: Roommates and Nighttime Visits
Kat followed them around till they stopped at a room. Scott knocked on the door. The door opened to a tall girl around the age of 14. She had long blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a 'Save the Whales' shirt and some cut up jeans. "Yes?" She asked sweetly.
"Professor Xavier says this is Katherine's room." Scott said, pointing to Kat. The girl looked at Kat.
"Okay. Come on in." The girl said, opening the door. Kat glanced at Scott and Logan. They watched her. Kat walked into the room.
The room was painted a bright sunny yellow color. The windows were open. Two beds and a bunk bed were in the large room. One girl was laying on the bunk bed, listening to her headphones. She had red hair, green eyes, and freckles all over the place. She was wearing a blue shirt and a mini skirt. Posters of celebrities, models, bands were posted on the wall. Pots of plants were on dressers and windowsills. Some clothes were on the floor. She walked to the bed farthest from the windows. It was near the closet. Kat sat on her bed.
The girl who opened the door sat on Kat's bed. Then the girl turned off her cd player and leaned against the wall. "So, you have some answers to give to us." The red haired girl said.
"Let's just start with the basics. I'm Abby. I'm fourteen. I can control plants." The blonde girl told Kat.
"I'm Jessica. I'm fourteen. I can control fire." The red hair girl said.
Kat sighed. She had to go through this again? "Just call me Kat. Ten. I can turn into animals." Kat grumbled. She already didn't like them. Interrogating her like this. The old guy in the wheelchair could do it but they really didn't have too.
"Which one can you turn into?" Jessica asked.
"All of them!" Kat answered. Didn't she understand the word animals. More than one.
"Cool!" Jessica remarked.
"So, how did you get here?" Abby asked.
"I got ran over by Logan." She said. If they didn't stop, she might do something dangerous. On accident.
"Ouch." Abby said.
"D..." Jessica started.
"No! Please, stop with the questions!" Kat told them, raising her voice. The hairs on her arm prickled.
"Sorry." Jessica said, glancing at Kat. Her pupils had contracted for just a second. (For those of you who don't know what contract means. It is the opposite of dilated.) Kat watched Abby get up and walk to her side of the room. She dug under her bed and pulled out a watering can. She started watering her plants. Kat glanced at Jessica's alarm clock. It read: 2:30. It was going to be a long day.
Kat had spent the day walking around the school, meeting some people. She ran into Ororo. "Hey. Tomorrow, come to my classroom at eleven. You are going to meet the kids in your grade." Ororo said, smiling at Kat. Kat smiled back and headed to her room. When she got there, two guys were also there. The one on her bed was a brown haired boy with light brown eyes and tan skin. His muscles bulged out of his shirt. He fingered a water globe. Inside it had Atlantis in it. Instead of fake snow, it was glitter. He wore a white shirt and pants. The one sitting at the desk, had black hair, dark brown eyes, and tan skin. He was also muscular. He had his arms back and was tilting the chair on one leg. Abby was talking to them. Jessica was gone.
"Oh. This is my new roommate!" Abby said, bringing Kat close to her. "Kat, this is my brothers. Matthew (she pointed to the brown haired boy) and Damon (she pointed to the black haired boy.) Matt and Damon, this is Katherine. Or Kat."
"Hey, kiddo. I heard a lot about you." Damon said, getting up. Matt nodded.
"Really. I've heard nothing about you." Kat told him. He smiled and winked at her. Kat frowned and turned to Matt. He was smirking but stopped when Kat stared at him. "Where's Jessica?" Kat asked Abby.
"Oh. She doesn't bunk with us. It's just me, my brothers, and you." Abby told Kat. Kat didn't even bother to correct her sentence.
"But they're boys. I thought schools didn't allow boys and girls bunk together in the same room." Kat asked her.
"They usually don't let them. But they ran out of dorms so they said it was okay because it's my brothers. And, you're just a little kid. They wouldn't do anything to you, if that is what you're worried about." Abby said, kneeling down to Kat's level. Kat's cheeks flushed. Damon and Matt started laughing.
"Don't worry, kiddo." Damon laughed, getting on top of the bunk bed.
"It's Kat!" Kat said to him, avoiding his eyes.
"Damon, don't pick on her. Come one. Time to eat dinner." Abby told them, pushing Kat out of the door first. They served spaghetti. It was actually better than any cooking Kat had ever tasted. Abby invited Kat to a game with her and her brothers at pool. During the middle of it, Kat fell asleep. "Poor thing. We should all go to bed." Abby said, seeing Kat sprawled out on the sofa. Matt put away all the balls and the poles (don't know what to call them. Sorry. I play it but I don't know what it's called. That is pretty sad.) up while Damon picked up Kat. They went to the room. Damon set Kat in the covers and covered her up. She turned a bit. Damon and Matt walked out while Abby changed. Then, when Abby said it was okay to come in. They just took thier shirts off and climbed in bed and went off to sleep.
In the Zoo...
A python raised it's head in it's tank. Someone was calling him. The python glanced around. Other snakes were also up, listening to the call. The python pushed against the top of his cage and it went up. He slid out of the tank as other snakes joined him. They opened the door and started outside, following the call.
Back at the School...
Snakes of all different sizes and shapes were crawling through the open windows, landing on Abby or Matt. They slithered to the bed farthest from the windows. She was calling them. They went on the bed, listening. The python made it's way into the window. He landed on Abby. Abby's eyes fluttered open. She felt something moving on her stomach. She turned her light on and screamed. Matt, Damon, and Kat woke up. Matt hit his head on the bunk bead and cursed. Damon stared at all the snakes. And more was still coming through the windows. "Abby! Matt! Stop screaming and close the windows!" Damon yelled. The door opened and Jean came in. A lot of other kids were standing outside the door, staring. They (including Jean) gasped when they saw the snakes.
What do you want? Why did you call us? This better important. All sorts of questions came into Kat's mind all at once. And Kat was meeting new snakes so her body was organizing all this important information.
I'm sorry, guys. But you need to go back where you belong. I didn't mean to call you. Kat said, staring at the hundreds of snakes. Many other snakes were by the windows, staring inside.
We're not leaving that easily. The snakes replied.
You either leave now or get eaten by a bunch of birds. Kat threatened. The snakes all gasped. "Open the windows!" Kat told Abby and Matt. They reluctantly did so. The snakes went out in a hurry, not wanting any birds eating them.
"Sorry." Kat apologized. "I can't help it. Sometimes I accidentally call them. They won't hurt you guys, unless you either mess with them or I tell them too." Kat added. Her roommates looked a little dazed.
"Is everyone going to be okay?" Jean asked. Everyone nodded. "I'll talk about this with Xavier tomorrow, Kat." Jean told her. Then left. Kat laid back on her bed. She hoped she wouldn't get in trouble. It was of course an accident. But she didn't tell the Professor. She mused on this for several minutes, before darkness swallowed her again.
