Chapter Seventeen
The sun was coming up. It was about 9:00.
"Up,'' Logan said,'' We need to get back.''
"But Kurts stil sick,'' Jean said.
"And my leg hurts,'' Kitty added.
"And I think my cuts infected,'' Lance said.
"But we need to get back,'' Logan said,'' I want to get done with this quest. Now fix the problem. We leave in an hour.''
Logan walked off. The others were silent for about two minutes.
"We can't go anywhere,'' Jean said,'' Kurts fever is too high.''
"My leg is sore,'' Kitty said,'' I think it's swollen.''
"And my cut is going green,'' Lance added.
"EW,'' Kitty shouted moving away from Lance.
"Stop messing around,'' Logan yelled,'' We are leaving in a half and hour, now get camp taken down.''
They quickly took down camp.
"This is stupid,'' Pietro said,'' We shouldn't go on today. Three people are down and he don't care. I thought the x-men were suposed to help people.''
"We do help people,'' Scott said,'' Logan just wants to get off this mountain.''
"I think he's mad that we didn't find Kathy,'' Todd muttered.
"Okay,'' Logan said,'' Time to go.''
"But Kurt can't even walk,'' Jean said,'' He can't even stand.''
Logan walked over to Kurt and picked him up.
"Now,'' Logan said,'' Lets go. I'm sure you can carry Kitty too.''
Pietro picked up Kitty. They began to walk into the forest. They walked for about three hours in silence. Logan stoped and sat Kurt down.
"Why are we stoping?" Scott asked.
"Kurt,'' Logan said,'' His fever has gotten worse. We'll have to stop and stay here for awhile.''
Pietro sat Kitty down and Lance sat down next to her. Jean, Scott, and Logan were looking at Kurt.
"He might need food,'' Jean said,'' People do get sick if they don't eat.''
"Okay,'' Logan said,'' Scott, Pietro, Todd, and Jean go find some food. We all need it anyway.''
The four nodded and ran off. The others watched them for awhile.
"How long do you t'ink dey will be?" Gambit asked.
"It should be awhile,'' Logan said,'' We might have to stay here tonite.''
"Good,'' Kitty said,'' My leg hurts. It's going like, purple.''
"Sick,'' Lance muttered.
"It's not as sick as that cut or yours,'' kitty snaped.
"No fighting,'' Logan said.
"We are not fighting,'' Kitty said,'' We are arguing. There is a difference.''
Logan just shook his head. The others began to talk.
"Kurt,'' Logan whispered,'' Wake up.''
Kurt slowly opened his eyes, just a little. He stared at Logan for awhile before closing his eyes.
"No sleeping,'' Logan said, giving Kurt a little push.
"Go avay,'' Kurt groaned.
"No,'' Logan said,'' Jean, Scott, Todd, and Pietro went to get some food.''
Kurt gave a weak smile, before he fell back to sleep.
"No going to sleep,'' Logan said, giving Kurt another push.
"I'm tired,'' Kurt moaned.
"No,'' Logan said,'' You need to stay up.''
"Vhy,'' Kurt asked.
"Because,'' Logan said,'' I said so. Now stay awake.''
"Logan,'' Rogue said,'' Let him, he needs it.''
"Fine,'' logan sighed.
"Thank you, Rogue,'' Kurt whispered before falling back to sleep.
Logan walked over and sat down by the others.
"He should stay awake,'' Logan said.
"He's weak,'' Kitty said,'' He needs rest, Logan.''
They were silent the rest of the time. Jean, Scott, Todd, and Pietro came back about an hour later. They had some bananas. Logan took two and went over to Kurt, who was stil sleeping.
"Kurt,'' Logan whispered and Kurt slowly opened his eyes.'' We got some food.''
Kurt took one of the bananas from Logan, who smiled and went back over to the others.
"How is he?" Jean asked.
"He can talk,'' Logan said,'' He'll be fine, after he eats.''
The others ate their bananas.
"It's only 5:00,'' Logan said,'' I guess we should continue.''
"No,'' Kitty groaned,'' I don't want to continue.''
"We have to,'' Logan said,'' Now get up. How much more food do we have?"
"We have about twenty more bananas and some coconuts,'' Scott said, looking over at Kurt.'' And you might want to wake hime up.''
"Kurt,'' Logan said bending down next to Kurt.'' Time to go.''
"Too tired,'' Kurt groaned,'' Go avay.''
Logan sighed and picked Kurt up. Pietro had picked Kitty up. They started walking again. They walked for about two hours in silence.
"Logan,'' Jean said,'' We need to stop for at least to rest.''
"Fine,'' Logan said,'' But for only five minutes.''
Everyone stoped and sat down. Logan sat Kurt down before he sat down.
"I don't want to sit on your lap,'' Kitty snaped.
"Fine,'' Pietro said pushing Kitty off his lap.
Kitty moved over to Lance, who smiled.
"How long are ve staying here?" Kurt whispered.
"Only a little while,'' Logan said,'' We'll be out of here in no time.''
About five minutes later they started walking again. They walked for about an hour in silence. The sun was going down.
"It's getting dark,'' Todd said.
"Make a point,'' Logan said.
"We should set up camp,'' Scott said.
"Look,'' Logan said,'' The mountains starting to go down. We must be at the side. We'll sleep here. Get camp set up.''
They quickly got camp set up. Logan sat Kurt down, by a tree. They ate some bananas, before the sun went down.
"We'll leave at about 7:00,'' Logan said,'' We really need to get down. We only have about twelve more days on this island.''
"Lets hope they go by fast,'' Jean said.
Mostly everyone went to sleep an hour later. Rogue and Gambit were stil awake.
"It's so quiet out here,'' Rogue whispered.
"It would be nice for a vacation,'' Gambit said,'' If it wasn't magical.''
Rogue put her head on Gambits shoulder and was to sleep in about five minutes. Gambit put an arm around Rogue, before he went to sleep.
