Chapter one: Coming To Terms

Logan turned the key in the ignition and drove off, leaving a cloud of dust behind him. He stepped on the gas not knowing where he was going but anxious to get there. He drove until he saw a familiar path that cut through the thick screen of trees. Stalling just for a moment he debated if he should take the path or continue on the road. He chose the path.

It led to Alkali Lake - a place he hadn't been since Jean died. It hurt too much, and he always made a point to pass it by when he drove down the main road. Alkali Lake was the last place any of them had seen Jean. The real Jean. Logan's vision clouded over with tears, but only for a minute. He slowed the bike down, dreading what lay at the end of the road.

He rounded the corner and breathed a sigh of relief. Alkali Lake looked exactly the same as it had when he and Storm had found Jean. And Scott's glasses. No one had heard from Scott since. That was seven months ago. Logan walked to the place where Jean had sacrificed her life for theirs. He stood in that spot for a long time, not moving, thinking about her. She had been his first true love, and he wouldn't let her fade away.

He knew that, in time, he'd have to accept that she was gone, but for now he'd grieve. He was thinking about the first time they met, him laying on that cold table and her standing above him, just staring, when he heard his name.

"Logan." the voice whispered.

He glanced around, wiping tears from his eyes. The voice sounded again, echoing off the trees. He heard someone stumbling through the woods and felt his claws slide out of his hands.

"Logan." They were right behind him now.

Logan turned around, his claws slicing through the air as he did. The tips of his claws stopped mere inches from slashing Scott's face open.
