Chapter Twelve

Everyone woke up at 7:00. They looked around. Logan noticed that two people were missing.

"Where are Kurt and Todd?" Logan asked.

"They must of gone ahead,'' Jean said.

"We must catch up,'' Scott said,'' This is very dangerous.''

They got up and quickly ran into the cave.

Tood and Kurt

They were walking through the heat. They had to stop when they came close to a snake.

"We should of vaited,'' Kurt muttered as they stoped again.

"It's hot,'' Todd said almost falling over.'' I'm getting dizzy.''

Kurt grabed Todds arm and started to walk again.

"Ve are almost there,'' Kurt whispered,'' Just a few more steps.''

"Good,'' Todd said,'' I hope there is a place where we can rest.''

The others

"It's so bright,'' Kitty said covering her eyes.

"Just keep walking,'' Logan said.

They walked on. They passed a corner, making sure not to touch anything. Soon they came to the end. When they steped out of the cave it was very hot.

"Man,'' Scott said,'' It's hot.''

"We're in the hot spot,'' Jean said,'' Be careful. There are snakes. They must of passed through here. There's their foot prints.''

They walked on, but had to stop for a few minutes, because of a snake.

"It must of taken Kurt and Todd awhile to get through here,'' Logan said,'' They could stil be here. Lets walk faster.''

They started to walk again. They walked for nearly ten minutes before stopping again. They waited fave minutes for the sanke to leave, then continued. Kitty walked ahead of the group.

"Kitty,'' Logan said,'' Stay with the group.''

"AAAHHHH,'' Kitty screamed before falling down.

A snake slithered away. Logan quickly ran over to Kitty. He felt her pulse. She was stil alive. He picked her up.

"What happened?" Lance asked,'' Is she alright? Will she be okay? Tell me.''

"She'll be fine,'' Jean said looking over the bite,'' Just one that will knock you out.''

"You can carry her,'' Logan said handing Kitty over to Lance.'' I need to lead.''

They started to walk again.

"It's alright Kitty,'' Lance whispered,'' I'll watch after you.''

"She's knocked out Lance,'' Pietro said,'' She can't hear you.''

"Shut up,'' Lance yelled.

"Okay,'' Pietro said,'' But watch where you're walking.''

"What does...'' Lance ran into Jean, who fell down.'' Sorry Jean.''

Jean stood up, wiping the dirl off her face and clothes. She turned around and looked at Lance

"Watch where you're walking,'' Jean snapped.

Jean turned back around and started to walk again. Lance quickly followed. It took nearly three hours to get out of there. Soon they came to a cave. It had trees around it.

"Hello friends,'' Todd said coming from behind a tree.'' That took you long.''

Logan walked up to him and said,'' You had us worried. Where's Kurt?"

"He's knocked out,'' Todd said pointing to Kurt.'' Bit by a snake while trying to help me.''

Logan walked over to Kurt, picked him up, and walked back to the others. Todd followed behind him.

"Knocked out,'' Logan said setting him down next to Kity,'' We'll have to wait until they wake up. We need all the help we can get to go in there.''

A noise came from the cave. Everyone sat down. Listening to all the different noises. It was only 6:30.

"This is crazy,'' Pietro said,'' We should just of left. Who care about Fred anyway? All he does is eat all the food.''

"But what about Kathy?" Rogue asked,'' If I remember right. Someone had a crush on her.''

"No I didn't,'' Pietro said everyone was looking at him.'' Okay. I had a little crush on her.''

"Ya,'' Todd said,'' Didn't she give you a bloody nose when you tried to hit on her?"

Everyone started laughing, except Pietro.

"Todd,'' Pietro yelled,'' If I remember right. She hit you over the head with a bat, when you tried.''

"Hey,'' Todd yelled while everyone else was laughing.'' She knocked you out for a week, remember?"

"Okay,'' Logan said after he stoped laughing.'' Enough teasing.''

"It's not as bad,'' Pietro yelled, ignoring Logan.'' She hit you with your own slime.''

"She beat you in a race,'' Todd yelled,'' And she gave you a head start.''

Everyone was laughing again.

"She tied your tongue to the flag pole. When there was a storm. You nearly got hit by lightning.''

"She dyed your hait pink when it was time for prom. Your date really got a laugh.''

"She put glue on your seat in math. You had to go home and get another pair.''

"OKAY,'' Logan shouted,'' ENOUGH.''

Todd and Pietro were silent. Everyone else stoped laughing. Not one seemed to notice that Kurt was awake.

"Did she really do all that stuff to you?" Kurt asked.

"Ya,'' Todd and Pietro said.

"She did more,'' Lance said.

"Okay,'' Logan said looking at Kitty,'' We'll camp here for tonite, since Kitty won't be up for a few more hours and don't tease each other.''

It was almost 7:30. Logan walked off some where.

"Remember when she made you run into the flag pole," Todd said.

"Hey,'' Pietro said as everyone else started laughing again.'' She tied your tongue in knocks, so you talked funny.''

"She put glue in your shoes, so you couldn't take them off.''

"She tied your hair up in ponytails. You couldn't take them out, so you had to go through the whole day with them.''

"Yo, she nailed you to the wall, in the girls bathroom.''

"I SAID ENOUGH,'' Logan shouted walking over to them.

Everyone went silent. Logan put down the wood he was carrying. He moved some rocks around them, took out Kathys lighter and started a fire. It was getting dark. Everyone sat around the fire. Kitty was stil knocked out. Soon everyone was goign to sleep. They had a big day tomorrow.
