Chapter Fifteen
The sun slowly came up. Logan was awake at 6:00.
"Okay,'' Logan yelled.
Everyone looked at him.
"Logan,'' Scott said,'' Everyone is tired. We need sleep and food.''
"We need to get going,'' Logan said,'' This should be the day we get to the top of the mountain.''
Everyone got up and followed Logan. They found some food on the way, which made them happy. They walked for about ten more minutes.
"Now what is this?" Pietro asked.
They were at a ditch, that probably went all the way around the mountain.
"It ain't that deep,'' Logan said,'' We should be able to walk down and up it.''
Logan started down it. Everyone else slowly followed. Kitty triped and rolled down to the bottom. Lance quickly ran down to her, followed by everyone else.
"Kitty,'' Lance said,'' You okay?"
"My leg,'' Kitty cried,'' I think it's broken.''
"Pick her up,'' Logan said,'' You'll need to carry her the rest of the way.''
"We need to bandage her leg first,'' Jean said,'' I need some sticks.''
"Here, use my arrows,'' Todd said handing them to Jean.
Everyone watched Jean. When she was done she stood up.
"That should work,'' Jean said,'' Now you can pick her up.''
Lance picked up Kitty, who wraped her arms around his neck. They started to walk again. It took nearly two hours to get out of the ditch.
"It shouldn't be much longer,'' Logan said.
They continued to walk.
"Look,'' Kurt said,'' I can see the top.''
Everyone looked up. They only had a little more to walk. They walked to the top, which was flat.
"This must go for miles,'' Todd said looking around.
"Which way do we go?" Scott asked.
"Lets go straight,'' Logan said.
They walked straight for about two hours. They didn't find anything.
"What are we looking for?" Pietro asked.
"She didn't say,'' Logan said,'' She said that we would know when we see it.''
"We should split up,'' Lance said.
"We have no way of keeping contacted,'' Scott said.
"We have the rings,'' Todd said,'' I took Steves ring.''
"Okay,'' Logan said,'' Todd, Jean, Scott, Lance, and Kitty go that way. Kurt, Pietro, Rogue, Gambit, and I will go this way. Scott, you're in charge of that group.''
They split up in their groups.
Logans group
They walked for about an hour in silence.
"Logan,'' Rogue said,'' W've been searching for an hour. There is no way we are going to find it.''
"She gave us two days to find it,'' Logan said,'' And I'm going to find it.''
"But ve stil have to find Kat,'' Kurt said.
"We will,'' Logan said,'' But she is doing the same thing we are doing. So we might see her on the way.''
"T'is is a bad idea,'' Gambit whispered,'' I can feel it.''
"Did she ever say why she wanted this?" Rogue asked.
"No,'' Logan said,'' Most be important.''
Scotts group
"Why do you get to be leader?" Lance asked.
"Because Logan said that I was leader,'' Scott said,'' Just deal with it.''
"But I want to be leader,'' Lance whined.
"I don't think he would let a whiner be the leader,'' Jean said.
"I'm not a whiner,'' Lance said,'' I just want to lead.''
"Well,'' Todd said,'' You're not leader. It's better to follow any way.''
"Why?" Lance asked.
"Because the leader goes first,'' Todd said,'' If anything jumps out in front of us, he'll be the first to fall.''
"Hey,'' Kitty said,'' That's my team mate you're talking about.''
"What are you guys talking about?" Scott asked.
"Nothing,'' Lance, Todd, and Kitty said.
They walked in silence for five minutes.
"Hey Kitty,'' Lance whispered,'' Why did we break up?"
"I don't know,'' Kitty said,'' I forgot. All of a sudden I feel like Jean.''
"HEY,'' Jean shouted,'' I DON'T FORGET EVERYTHING?"
"Whatever,'' Kitty whispered,'' She forgot her own birthday.''
Logans group
"Slow down Logan,'' Rogue said,'' We've been running for two hours, without a brake.''
Logan stoped and everyone sat down. Rogue put her head on Gambits shoulder.
"You need to slow down,'' Kurt said,'' Or ve vill not be able to keep up.''
"You need to keep up,'' Logan said.
"If I had my powers I would be able to search this place in five seconds,'' Pietro said.
"Am I talking to you?" Logan asked.
"No,'' Pietro muttered.
"Then shut up,'' Logan said,'' Now Kurt, you need to stay close and try not to fall behind. We don't need to lose someone in this place.''
Logan looked over at Rogue and Gambit, who were sleeping. He looked at Pietro, who was looking at his flute.
"I wonder why she gave me a flute,'' Pietro said,'' I'm not good at playing things.''
"Why don't you try?" Logan said.
"No,'' Pietro said,'' She might of used this before she gave it to me.''
It was getting dark, so they decided to set up camp.
Scotts group
"We will make camp here,'' Scott said,'' It's almost dark and I bet Logan had stoped to make camp.''
"I bet he hasn't,'' Lance said,'' He wants to finish this quest. No matter what it takes.''
"I thought this would be harder,'' Todd said,'' The way that lady explained it.''
They started getting camp set up. Lance sat Kitty down and helped the others. Soon camp was set. Scott made a fire.
"Look,'' Kitty said,'' There is smoke in the sky. That must be where the others are.''
"Probably,'' Todd said.
Soon it was dark. They were to sleep in about ten minutes.
Logans group
"Go to sleep,'' Logan yelled,'' We are getting up early in the morning.''
Rogue, Gamibt, and Pietro fell to sleep in five minutes. Kurt was staring at the sky. Logan sat down next to him.
"You okay?" Logan asked.
"Ja,'' Kurt sighed,'' Just thinking.''
"You should sleep,'' Logan said,'' We have got a long day tomorrow.''
Kurt went to sleep in about an hour. logan watched him for awhile, before looking up at the sky. He fell asleep thinking that they would find the thing tomorrow.
