AN: I'm SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO SORRY! School is hard! Especially when you got a mean teacher that gives you lots of homework! Grr, I hope the year goes by fast. Oh, and just as a warning, I got something evil in my mind. Prepare for a twist, for the end is nearing!
Finola sighed as she stared up at the ceiling. Everything was just confusing right now. She wanted to stay with the Brotherhood but she didn't want Rogue to die. She rolled over, trying to clear her mind. She heard her door open.
"Lola? You ok?" it was Toad.
She looked over her shoulder at him. He sat near her on the bed. She looked back in front of her.
"Just a lot of things on my mind." she said.
"I understand. 'appens to me a lot."
"Not like this."
"Try me."
"I'd rather not."
"Come on."
Finola sat up and glared at him. She didn't want to tell him but his persistence was getting annoying. Her face fell and she rubbed her temples.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" she asked him.
He gave her a peck on the lips and grinned.
"Brotherhood's honor." he said.
She smiled slightly and leaned against the headboard.
"Well, I'm not sure who I'm loyal to anymore. I mean, I love being with the Brotherhood but I can't ignore the possibility of an innocent girl's blood on my hands."
She looked at Toad and was shocked at his expression. He was glaring at her, arms crossed and standing up.
"So you'd rather be with those X-Freaks?" he asked bitterly.
"No, but-"
"You'd rather save those pesky humans than turn them?"
"Mort, your scaring me."
He turned and headed towards the door. He glared back a her.
"I promised I wouldn't tell, so I won't. Lola, you need to get your act together. You're with the Brotherhood. If mutants are to survive, we need to make sacrifices."
"You're killing a girl, Toad! A young girl! She didn't want to be what she is, but now you're killing her off! Is that it?"
Toad just opened the door.
"Sacrifices must be made." he repeated the slammed the door behind him.
Finola was now angry. So they were gonna kill Rogue! Jean was right. Soon, she made up her mind on what to do. After two hours, she snuck to the prison where Rogue was kept, unlocking the door. She looked up.
"Finola, what are you do-"
"Keep quiet. Don't make a sound. I'm breaking ya out of here." Finola ordered.
Transforming so she would be quieter, she knelt down for Rogue to get on. When she did, Finola kept close to the wall, hoping no one would see her. She peaked around the corner. No sign of anyone. That's good, it'll make it easier. She softly padded to one of the back doors, getting Rogue to open it.
"We're almost to the helicopter." she said to the girl on her back as she ran to it. Suddenly, she felt some of her feathers get ripped out. Roaring, Finola whirled around, knocking the supposed girl off her back, in time to see her turn back into Mystique.
"I'm sorry, Lola, but we can't have you spoiling our plans." she said solemnly.
Finola lunged at her, claws extended. She managed to graze her before a sheet of metal was wrapped around her. She roared and struggled, stopping only when seeing the boots of Magneto. She looked up.
"My, my, my, it looks like we have a traitor on our hands." he said.
She also saw a pair of combat boots.
"I'm sorry Lola, he forced me to tell."
She whimpered, knowing what was going to happen next.

At the X-Mansion, Kitty was reading in one of the studies when there was a knock at the door. She phased through the ceiling and walked to the front door.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" she said when another knock was heard.
She opened the door and her jaw dropped. Standing in front of her was a badly bruised and bloody Finola.
"Kitty... help..." she managed to say before collapsing onto the front step.
EEEKKK! CRAPPY, CRAPPY, CRAPPY! (sigh) Oh well, it's better than the other one I though of. R&R please.
