Chapter 3:
Storm walked over to Wolverine's side and asked, "What is it Logan"? the man growled and continued sniffing for a few moments before responding. "I dunno, but it aint' good." Suddenly a small metal device was flung toward them. When it hit the ground it released a heavy smoke that impaired their vision. Then someone put Storm in a chokehold from behind. While storm struggled to get free, she had a thought that this must've been one of the 'others' that were after the mutant. Logan could smell where Storm and the assailant were but he couldn't tell which was which. "Storm, that you"? She looked over to find Wolverine's silhouette in the smoke. Storm took a deep breath and her eyes turned white, when she summoned a huge gust of wind to clear the smoke. Logan could see now.
Ororo broke free of her attackers hold as Logan ran over to help her. "You alright Storm"? she coughed as they both looked toward the large shadowy figure with glowing red eyes, which turned and ran off. Wolverine went after him but came to a dead end. Storm wasn't too far behind when she followed. "I believe he was one of the "others" who are hunting the girl", she said while taking out her communicator to check Kitty and Kurt.
With Kitty and Kurt…
Kitty was inspecting the basement of a very large and empty church. The only thing she found was a lot of dust and cobwebs. She coughed out the dust and phased through the floor of the chapel calling out to her partner. "Kurt! Did you find anything"? he just lied there on one of the benches singing heartbreak songs like a lonely woman, while Kitty just sighed. Above them was a shadowed figure looking down at them moving swiftly for a better view. Just when she was about to give up, the little valley girl's communicator began to ring. She answered, "You guys got anything"? "Yes, Gambit and Rogue found out which cathedral she might be hiding in. Its called the Notre Dame Cathedral." Shadow Cat got a familiar sense to what she was just told. She looked over to her fuzzy depressed friend, "Hey Kurt, what was the name of this church again"? Kurt sighed deeply still looking up at the ceiling. "*sighs* I think it was called the Notre Dame Cathedral. Suddenly there was a strong brush of air going past them. It was so frightening, that Kurt went from sad and sappy, to scare out of his mind, and teleported behind Kitty. They could hear the sound of wings flapping. It was so startling, Kitty almost forgot Storm was on the communicator, "Shadow Cat, Nightcrawler, what is it!?" Kitty shivered violently as she lifted the device to her mouth to respond. "St-Storm, I think- we just found her. Suddenly it got quiet. The flapping and swishing of air stopped, but that just made it scarier.
They both shivered and held each other in terror until they got a chilling feeling something was behind them. Both of the said nothing as they gulped and simultaneously turned their heads slowly to find just inches from their faces; a dark-red furry creature with large bat-like wings hissing menacingly at them. They both screamed so loud, that while coming from an opposite direction, Jean and Scott could hear them from outside the church. Thinking they must be in trouble, they both rushed towards their cries to the rescue.
Meanwhile…
Rogue and Gambit were sitting outside of a café' drinking hot chocolate, when Rogue shot her head up, then made a really curious face. "What's wrong Cherie?" Gambit asked a little worried. The stripe-haired young woman had a troubling feeling in the pit of her stomach, like something was wrong. "I-I don't know. I feel like there's some kinda disturbance. Like something just scared the ever-lovin'- bajeepers outta Kitty and Kurt, and it I didn't cause it. Hmm…" She paused for a moment, then shrugged it off and continued on with their romantic evening.
