Chapter Sixteen

Logans group

"Wake up,'' Logan yelled,'' We are leaving.''

Pietro, Rogue, and Gambit got up. The sun was not up yet.

"The sun's not up,'' Pietro said,'' Why are we going right now? We should wait until the sun is up the rest of the way.''

"No,'' Logan said,'' We must leave now.''

"I think that's a bad idea,'' Rogue said,'' Kurts sick.''

Logan went over to Kurt, who was stil. He bent down and felt Kurts forhead.

"He has a fever,'' Logan said standing up.

"So,'' Gambit said,'' We can't go.''

"No,'' Logan said picking Kurt up.'' We are going. Now lets go.''

Scotts group

The sun was just barely coming up.

"Okay,'' Scott said,'' Time to get going.''

The others got up and they started walking.

"I stil don't see why I'm not leader,'' Lance said.

"Because Logan made me leader,'' Scott said,'' And you're a brotherhood member.''

Kitty was walking, her leg wasn't broken, but it stil hurt. Lance walked by her side, making sure they didn't lose her.

"We should be somewhere in awhile,'' Scott said.

"Somewhere,'' Jean said,'' There is no where to go. This is a waste of time.''

"No it's not,'' Lance said,'' What would we do on the beach? Nothing, we would of probably starved to death.''

"This is an quest,'' Kitty added,'' That's kind of fun. Layla said this was dangerous. We haven't run into any danger.''

Just then something ran into Kitty, who screamed and jumped out of the way. Pietro was laughing his head off.

"That was so funny,'' Pietro laughed,'' You should of seen your face.''

Logan, Gambit, and Rogue came walking out of the bushes.

"You guys okay?" Logan asked.

"Yes,'' Scott said,'' But we didn't find anything.''

"It's okay,'' Logan said,'' We'll walk straight.''

"What's wrong with Kurt?" Jean asked.

"He has a fever,'' Logan said.

They walked straight in silence for about ten minutes. They came to a clearing. There was a path that lead to what looked like a small prymaid. The path was long. Logan sat Kurt down on the ground. He began to walk down the path, but something through him back. He got back up and looked at everyone else.

"How are we supposed to get passed this?" Pietro asked.

"Easy,'' Logan said.

Logan ran down the path, but something grabed his leg and he was upside down in the air, by a rope.

"Easy,'' Scott said,'' This is probably what that lady meant.''

Logan was trying to untie his leg. Lance ran over to him, but landed in a trap and was hanging upside down next to Logan.

"Good job,'' Logan said.

"I'll try,'' Pietro yelled, grabbing the kinfe out of Scotts back pocket.

Pietro ran and jumped onto Lances rope.

"Get your foot out of my face,'' Lance yelled.

Pietro cut the rope and they fell down. Pietro jumped to his feet and cut Logans rope and they fell down. They stood up. Logan took Lances spear and touched the ground in different places. Some traps went off. The others ran over to them. Scott was helping Kurt run.

"We must be careful,'' Logan said,'' There are traps everywhere.''

"Why don't one of us run first to make sure?" Kitty asked.

"Good idea,'' Logan said.

"Lance, you wanted to be leader,'' Scott said.

"Okay,'' Logan said,'' Lance, run ahead.''

"This is not what I meant,'' Lance muttered.

Lance ran forward. Fire shot at him, but he kept running. Spikes came out of the ground, but he kept running. Then a knives came swinging acrossed the path, that's when Lance stoped running and ran back screaming. He ran behind the others.

"That was scary,'' Lance hissed.

"Now we know what some of the trail is,'' Logan said,'' Everyone ready?"

"Um... Logan,'' Scott said,'' I don't think Kurt will make it. His fever is getting worse. We can't leave him, but he can't go on. What should we do?"

"Jean and you can stay here,'' Logan said,'' I'm sure you guys can watch him. Kitty must stay here as well. That leg is slowing you down.''

The four ran back down the trail. Scott was helping Kurt again.

"Okay,'' Logan said, when the four were at the end of the trail.'' Let go.''

The rest of the team ran down the trail. They had to dodge fire and jump over the spikes. Then they were at the swinging knives. They each ran through one at a time. Lance got his hand cut, but made it.

"Now what?" Pietro asked.

"Lance,'' Logan said,'' Run ahead.''

"No way,'' Lance said,'' Pietro can run ahead.''

"Okay,'' Logan said,'' Pietro go ahead.''

"This is stupid,'' Pietro muttered.

Pietro ran ahead, but didn't go that far. He steped into a trap and was now stuck in a hole. The others ran over to the hole. Pietro was hanging onto the side. There were spikes at the bottom. Logan got on his stomach and reached down. Pietro quickly grabed his hand, just as the thing he was holding onto broke and fell to the ground. Logan pulled him out of the hole.

"Now,'' Logan said,'' Run ahead.''

"No,'' Pietro groaned,'' Ask Todd.''

"Todd,'' Logan said,'' It's your turn.''

"I'm going to die,'' Todd muttered.

Todd ran ahead. He ran about ten feet when two ropes, out of no where, came out and grabed his arms. The ropes went into the air and pulled him up too.

"How did that happen?" Rogue asked,'' Is that even possible?"

"On t'is island,'' Gambit said,'' It's possible.''

Logan took the knife from Pietro and ran forward, cutting the rope. Logan kept on running. They were over half way there. Vines grabed his legs and triped him. The others were running over to him. Lance took his spear and stabed the vines in different places. The vines went back to the sides and logan got up. They quickly continued running down the trail, ditching everything that was thrown at them. They ran up the small prymaid. When they came to the top, they stoped and stared at the thing.

"What is it,'' Rogue asked.

No one answered. The thing was in a bright light. Logan steped forward and reached for it.

"It might be a trap,'' Lance said,'' Acid, or something that will hurt.''

Logan reached in and pulled his hand back.

"There's nothing there,'' Logan said.

"What do you mean?" Pietro asked,'' It has to be there. If it's not, then we did that for nothing.''

Logan reached into it again.

"I got something,'' Logan said.

Logan pulled his hand out. He was holding a very old piece of paper. Logan unrolled the piece of paper and some kind of weird writing was on it. He rolled it back up and put it in his pocket.

"Is that it?" Lance asked,'' Can we go back?"

"Yes,'' Logan said,'' Lets go back.''

They quickly ran, without stopping back down the trail. When they came to the end, the others were sitting on the ground.

"Is Kurt alright?" Logan asked.

"His fever is getting worse,'' Jean said,'' We'll need to stay here for tonite.''

"Fine,'' Logan said,'' It's getting dark anyway.''

They set up camp. The sun went down and it was dark. Logan stayed by Kurt, who was sleeping. Everyone else was alseep too. Logan didn't go to sleep for about five hours.
