Anjie-Kun Out!

Chapter 4:

Kurt and Kitty were screaming their head's off when they saw the creature, mentally praying for their lives the whole time. Soon out of nowhere, Jean and Scott came rushing in to the younger pair's aide, "Kitty! Kurt!- are you-…" Jean began before gasping in fear at the creature hanging upside down from above the door entrance. It very much resembled the likeness of Kurt; Slim, covered in dark red fur, with darker red hair hanging upside down. It was covered in dirt, dust, and cobwebs, likely from living in the loft, also it had cat-like eyes which were bright yellow. Jean levitated the creature away from the frightened duo, and pushed it into the wall outside the chapel. Scott ran towards his comrades to see if they were hurt.

Jean followed after the strange creature. She found it against a wall shivering and looking just as frightened as they were. It seemed so menacing before but now it was- scared. "Please…don't hurt me, I-I was only trying to scare them away, I swear I wasn't going to hurt anyone. The sad one's singing was so bad I just couldn't take it." Jean gave an unconcerned glance as she rolled her eyes to the right knowing well that the creature was talking about Kurt.

She got a little closer and realized some other characteristics about the vampire-like creature; it had bat wings, which were folded to the arms and a ripped brown sleeveless dress of some sort attached to a hooded Shawl. She immediately figured out that this 'thing' might be the mutant they were looking for. "Are you Anya?" The creature looked up slowly and nodded. Jean kneeled down and offered a hand and said, "Don't worry we're here to help you, don't be afraid." The creature at this point was not a creature, she was a helpless mutant girl who was deeply afraid. "You- you are not one of those people hunting me?" Jean smiled kindly and said, "Trust me we know about them, and we're not here to hurt you, I promise." Anya hesitantly took Jean's hand, and was soon lifted up to her feet and led safely back to the chapel.

Meanwhile, Kitty and Kurt were still pretty traumatized by Anya's little attempt to scare them off. Shadow cat was rocking back and forth in an upright fetal position, so shocked that she couldn't even look at Scott when he talked to her, she could barley even speak. Nightcrawler, he couldn't stop speaking about how terrifying that experience was.

"OH MY GOSH!- WHAT WAS THAT THING!?- It was so fuzzy, and evil looking!- ..." Kurt went on and on about how freaky-looking the creature was, while Scott was too busy trying to calm Kitty down but soon got annoyed. "Kurt, I wouldn't be complaining about that thing's looks if I were you." Kurt suddenly got an offended scowl on his face, "At least I don't go around scaring the schnitzel out of people...-Ahhh!" he said as he turned around and practically reliving the horror again as Anya and Jean stood behind him side by side.

"Everyone, this is Anya Zairta." The once defensive creature now looked genuinely sweet, and not-so-scary. She smiled and gave a small shy wave 'hello'.

"I'm-s-sorry for scaring you earlier, I thought you were here to hurt me." Kitty was breathing hard and had the heart race of a rabbit, and Kurt was equally as freaked out as her, so they were really unsure about forgiving her. However they looked at the sad, apologetic face of the fuzzy red bat girl, and didn't want to hold a grudge, so Kitty said "um, d-don't worry about it." She nudged Kurt in the stomach and gestured her head towards Anya and Jean's direction, implying that he answer her apology.

"O-Oh!- yeah, don't worry, I wasn't that scared!- He then teleported to Anya's side surprising her enough to latch onto Jean, "It'll take a lot more then that to scare me." Kurt said all prideful, of course it wasn't true it was proven when the little blue fuzz ball screamed like a little girl because a tiny spider was on his shoulder. "AAAAAAH!-GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" He eventually ran into a wall and fell on his back like an idiot, [also feeling like one], but quickly overcame his humiliating stunt when Anya had her three-fingered hand out to help him, while displaying a calm, amused, and generous smile on her face. Kurt just kept staring at her face; her fuzzy, red, pointy-eared, pretty-…WHOA WHAT!? He had no Idea why he was thinking that.

He blushed through his fur and took her hand. She lifted him to his feet, and giggled a little as he began to force a timid smile while dusting himself off. Scott stood up from beside Kitty and took out his communicator, to let Storm know that they had found Anya.

With Storm and Logan…

It was getting later and the search for Anya was still on. Although the two instructors didn't know it yet, their search would finally be able to come to an end. They were heading to the Notre Dame when Scott contacted Storm, "Storm here." She said. "Storm, we found Anya!" Storm smiled and gave a sigh of relief and said "That's great Scott", then informed the field instructor to stay put until they got there. He agreed and made sure everyone knew what she said. "Alright guys, Storm and Logan want us to wait here till they arrive." Kitty was glad, but then got a concerning look. "Hey shouldn't we tell Rogue and Gambit too?" Scott hesitated and said, "Hmm, you're right Shadow Cat." He raised his communicator to contact the two.

Somewhere on a French river…

Gambit and Rogue were on an enchanted river ride through the city. Gambit was romantically kissing Rogue up and down her arm, when suddenly the communicator began to beep. Rogue frantically whipped it out and answered in a nervous tone, as if she was trying to cover up a lie. "Y-Yeah?- Rogue here!" Scott raised an eyebrow in suspicion, "Um, was I interrupting something?" both of the [potential] southern lovers practically shouted "No!" then they blushed and looked at each other nervously while Scott was utterly feeling some awkward tension. "…Well- we've found Anya, and Logan and Storm are gonna meet us here at the Cathedral, so you guys might wanna get here-" They both cut him off, "Great! we'll meet you there." They both hung up and resumed there romantic action like Scott didn't just say they'd found the mutant.

Scott just stood there like 'what just happened?'. Suddenly a metal ball like the one the two instructors had encountered used had rolled their way. Jean yelled, "Run!" Everyone ran, jumped and teleported out of the way as the ball blew up and left the overwhelming smoke to fill the chapel. Then a woman aiming a gun shot at them as they were running, however she wasn't aiming for them. The gun shot these small little iron-like balls that began to ricochet on and off of the walls and beams causing them to collapse, and trap them. As the ceiling started coming down, Jean tried to levitate it long enough to get everyone out. "Go!- and what ever you do, don't let them get their grubby hands on Anya!" Everyone did as she said, and finally ran, all accept for Scott, who ran pass Jean back down the hall and shot a laser blast at the woman chasing them. It hit the floor and blew up a huge piece of ceiling, which then up and sent the woman flying backwards. Scott then grabbed the exhausted Jean and ran as fast as he could towards the exit.

Meanwhile, the rest of them managed to escape safely. Kitty phased through the wall, and Kurt had Anya in his arms bridal style as he teleported them both out. "Phew! That was close, said Kitty, then she gasped, "where're Scott and Jean!?" Kurt put Anya down and looked toward the falling building to find no sign of the two field instructors. Kitty ran to the entrance, "NO! Shadow Cat it's too dangerous!" She looked back and said, "I'll only be a sec, we can't just leave them in there." She phased back through the wall and while she was gone Anya put a hand to her chest in worry. "Nightcrawler? Are they going to be okay?" She asked with her scared exotic accent. The sympathetic blue elf just stared at her and tilted his head slightly to the left and said, "Don't worry Anya, they'll be fine." Then the building began to rumble, and shake. Kurt held the frightened winged girl in a shielding motion as the place exploded. The two fuzzy elves fell to the ground, with Kurt covering Anya from the falling rocks.

The explosion was caused by Cyclops who blasted through the falling entrance while sticking close to Kitty as she phased all three of them to safety. "You're alright!" said Anya with joy. Scott smiled and dusted off the rubble. Jean walked over and said, "I don't think she went down so easily." that's when Storm and Wolverine showed up. "What happened !?" The kids looked over and smiled in relief, accept for Anya, who was a little weary of the new mutants. "Are you all alright?" asked Storm, "Yeah, we're fine." Jean answered, before holding out a hand to Anya who was just sitting there, a little timid. "Anya, these are our friends; Ororo Monroe, and Logan." Storm smiled kindly while shaking her hand, as Anya did too smile with comfort, while Logan just said huffed with amusement [I think], and said, "Great! Another elf." Anya raised a brow in confusion and looked at Storm. "That's just his way of saying hello dear, no need to worry." She smiled and looked to everyone realizing she was surrounded by new friends.

Back in town…

There was melodious accordion tune played by two men on the rose pedal-covered streets. The pathway was lined with lit street lights, rose bouquets, red heart ornaments and couples smiling and laughing while holding hands, and flirting. During which time, Rogue and Gambit were ballroom dancing in the middle of the walkway to the sound of the music. It was quite passionate and synchronized. "So Cherie, was this an expectable evenin' fo' you?" the shy, kind of-love struck goth smiled and nodded slightly indicating a 'yeah' for the Cajun romantic. At that one sweet tender moment it felt like the two of them were the only people on the walkway, Remy parted from Rogue while holding her hand, and Kissed it, [yet again], then pulled her back, spun her, then dipped her…then the moment was gone once Gambit looked up to find Wolverine glaring at him half eyelids closed, as if to say 'really'? then the surprised Cajun smiled stupidly and gave a false laugh, "Heh heh, Bonjour-?" Everyone else, accept for the confused Anya, was glaring half eyelids closed not amused that the pair were actually goofing off during a mission. "Get to the jet, NOW!" shouted Logan.

As the team was taking off, the dark silver skinned mutant that attacked Storm and Logan was standing on the Eiffel Tower watching as they left. that's when the woman from the Cathedral showed up behind him. "Sinister, we lost the girl." she said. "Yes Domino, but that doesn't mean we wont find her again." Said the dark monstrous man as he folded his arms entering his nefarious interlude, while grinning wickedly. "Call on Cain, we'll make sure she won't be able to escape this time.

Then the woman turned and left as Sinister continued to watch the X-men leave, with his prey.
