Chapter Four
It was 5:30 in the morning. Rogue was sitting outside of the shelter. There was just a little light out.
"What are you doing?" Gambit asked sitting down.
"Just thinking,'' Rogue said.
"About what?" Gambit asked.
"If we are ever gonna get off this island.''
"Don't worry, we will.'' Gambit put an arm around Rogue, who jumped alittle and moved away.'' What's wrong? You don't have your powers. You should enjoy what you have right now.''
"Come on, lets go for a walk.''
They both got up and left, just as Kitty came out.'How nice. A swim would be nice,'Kitty thought. She went over to the water and walked out. She didn't notice that Lance was watching her. He dicided to jump in and scare her. Kitty jumped out of the water when he did that.
"Come on Kitty,'' Lance said getting out too.
"That was not funny,'' Kitty yelled.
"I didn't mean to scare you that bad,'' Lance said.
"Stay away from me,'' Kitty went back into the shelter, leaving Lance to make the fire.
"What happened?" Pietro asked.
"Lance,'' Kitty hissed sitting down.
"What did he do now?" Scott asked.
"I went for like, a swim and he scared me,'' Kitty muttered.
"Don't worry,'' Pietro said,'' He's just trying to get you back.''
"Where is Rogue and Gambit?" Logan asked.
"I saw them walking along the beach,'' Kitty said,'' They were holding hands.''
"Okay,'' Jean said,'' What are we doing today?"
"Nothing,'' Kurt said,'' As ususal.''
"Feeling any better?" Scott asked,'' Kathy hit you pretty hard.''
"I'm fine,'' Kurt said,'' It vas my fault. I shouldn't of been going through her stuff.''
"Where is Kathy?" Todd asked.
"Did anyone see her?" Logan asked. Everyone shook their heads. Logan looked at the bag to see one of the pockets opened. The pocket had a lock hanging from it. "Where ever she went. She took something with her.''
Todd felt around his neck. His necklase was gone.' She took the necklases,' Todd thought,' I must tell them.'
"Guys, promise you won't get mad?" Todd asked.
Everyone looked at him.
"We won't,'' Pietro said.
"Okay,'' Todd sighed,'' Kathy found all of the necklases. She gave one to me, but I don't have it anymore. She must of took them somewhere.''
"So they do exist?" Jean asked and Todd nodded his head.
"We must find her,'' Logan said.
Everyone got out of the shelter. Rogue and Gembit were just bearly getting back. They were laughing and holding hands.
"Come on,'' Logan said,'' We need to find Kathy.''
They ran into the forest. There was a moutain with a cliff. They quickly went to the top.It took them nearly and hour to get to the top. Kathy was standing a few feet away from the edge.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked.
"Why would you care? You never cared,'' Kathy said,'' None of you do.''
"What are you talking about?" Todd asked.
"I just remembered,'' Jean said,'' Those necklases will drive people crazy.''
"Thanks for telling us now,'' Kurt snapped.
Kathy took a step closer to the edge.
"That's suicide,'' Logan yelled.
"No it's not,'' Kathy said taking another step closer. She was now to the edge.
"This is stupid,'' Scott said.
"Is it really?" Kathy asked turning around.
"Just get away from the edge and lets talk,'' Kurt said.
Kathy smiled. She took a step back and fell over the edge. The others quickly ran over to the edge. They were too high to see anything in the water. They stayed there for aboutthree hours, before heading back to the beach. Kurt was crying the whole time they were walking back.
"It's okay Kurt,'' Logan said,'' She had her powers. She might of survived that fall.''
Kurt went into the shelter without saying anything.
"I'm glad she took that necklase from me,'' Todd said.
"I wish she would of left it,'' Rogue snapped,'' Then we would have one less brotherhood member to deal with.''
"She told me that she read the book,'' Todd said,'' Maybe she knew what would happen, and she just saved us all from doing what she just did.''
"Then consider ourselves lucky,'' Logan said,'' I don't see why she just didn't throw the necklases off the cliff.''
"Well,'' Jean said,'' Once you've worn them for a day you can't take it off. She must of found her necklase the every first day and she just saved you Toad.''
"I'm sorry,'' Todd whispered getting up and walking along the beach.
Everyone was quiet for awhile.
"So,'' Lance said,'' Is there anymore about this strange island?"
"Well, ya,'' Jean said,'' There is this very strange rock that's supposed to be dangerous if you touch it. You would die in three days and a cave that is always light and never dark and...''
"Okay Jean,'' Scott said,'' I really don't want to know anymore about this island.''
"When do you think they'll find us?" Fred asked.
"I told you,'' Logan said,'' About a month.''
"It's almost dark,'' Gambit said putting an arm around Rogue,'' We should go to bed.''
Everyone got up and went into the shelter. Kurt was sitting on the ground with his head on his knee's. He was stil crying, but he fell asleep about an hour later. Hardly anyone could sleep that night. That day didn't go like they planned at all.
