JD: Okay so I'm going to start to post on JDShadow soon and one of my friends wants me to make a Finding Family spin off but it's not really a spin off. It's going to go along with this story JUST it's in Amber's POV! It'll be named Finding Family: Smoke
Ebitch: This is actually for you because you so like trying to figure out the couples xD it was already going to happen but this is getting kinda fun with people guessing who's pair with who.
Go Alina!
It has been a few days since Halloween. Logan have been extra on guard and I can't figure out why. After breakfast I went outside and though normally I like this weather I start to shiver. I then felt something land on me. I look to whom dropped a jacket on me to see the over protective grump.
"Thanks." I said softly looking out curling in to the jacket's warmth. Logan just grunt looking out too. He sniff the air then growl something walking away. "Logan! Where you going!" I called chasing after him.
"Hey, Harp, your little stalker kitty is back." I heard Ray say then I felt his presence.
"Rogue said that they have some type of feud right?" I asked my sister who just nod her head. She follow me as I ran after Logan. By time we got out to where the monster looking man was crouching close to the ground Logan was already healing. Logan jumped up and went after the other man but something over came me.
"Stop!" I yelled running out between them with my arms out to both of them. The wind blow and Sabertooth growl loudly. I turn to face him as I felt strong betrayal and hatred came off of him as was protective over something more than anything else.
He went at Logan dodging me completely. I react on pure instinct and grab him as Logan's jacket fell off. His warm body engulf mine as he stop in mid attack and just stood there. I looked up to his pure black eyes as he softly growl out but never attacked me. I don't feel threaten by him at all. I in fact feel the opposite. I feel protected. His breath moved my slightly messy hair and then what was only a minute or two pass he moved away taking with him the warmth and protected feeling.
I wanted to grab him and pull him close but I'm not sure if that's me or someone else feeling this. He just kept walking leaving us. I felt like something broke in me watching him walk away. I am pretty sure these are someone else's feelings I am feeling just who's? This is giving me a headache.
I looked around and saw only a select few around. Logan went after Sabertooth but the Professor stopped him. "Let him go, Logan." Logan growl but didn't went after Sabertooth. The seven foot tall blonde just kept walking away and part of me wants to chase after him.
I took a moment to move back and walk away. I went over to Logan's fallen jacket and picked it up. Without realizing it I gave it back to Logan and was half way in to the mansion. I walked up the stairs and stop outside of my room where I grab my jacket and stopped when I notice that the two minutes or so he was there and now I can smell him all over me.
I lost breath as his smell over took me. It was different to the ones I smelt outside when he was hovering over me. After a while I finally got control over myself and grab a jacket walking downstairs to the others. "Hey, Ms Harper?" I stop and blink a few times seeing the kid we just saved. Blake, he's with Emma right now, she is nearly always at his side.
"Yes?" I smiled getting down to their level. They looked to each other then back to me.
"What was wrong with your eyes earlier?" Emma asked. I could feel their worry coming off of them in waves.
"What do you mean?" I'm confuse as can be. "As far as I know nothing is wrong or was wrong with my eyes." I state as I saw them look to each other and then back to me again.
"They were pure black like just two black holes or something." Emma said slightly scared but mostly still worried about me.
"I'm not sure. I will speak to Professor about it okay?" I comfort them and they nod feeling somewhat better, not as worried anymore.
I walked off to find the Professor and when I did I saw a few people giving me strange glances and they had fear coming off of them. It wasn't like my normal feelings I get from others it's different now. I don't know how to explain this just it's different. I sigh and then walked straight to his office. Once there I start to knock but the professor beat me like normal. "Come in, Ms Harper." He said and I turn the knob and walked in. "I believe you are here to speak about what happen this morning?" He asked though it sounded like a statement.
"Yes, sir." I said and he motion for me to sit while he finish off his paper work. I sat down smiling slightly. "The kids say my eyes were black, pure black like black holes." I said and he did a slight smile.
"Your mutations is rare. Your kind normally travels in packs in a way and each live on the other's powers. It's very interesting. A child born of Shadow nature has to have one Shadow parent. Normally it's the Father but in most Shadow Coven cases it's the Mother. If something happens to the Child's parent the Coven takes the child in and raises it as one of them." He roll out then around the desk to in front of me then put his arms on his knees serious like. "They are vampiric like and can get dangerous when they believe one of their own is threaten. They have a genetic gene that not many mutants can have and it allows the Shadow Mutants to borrow powers from each other. It's never as strong as the original's mutant's power but it's normally enough that they can do what is needed."
"Wait, Coven? Vampiric?" I am lost. He smiles softly like he's talking to a scared, confused kid. In his eyes I might as well be one.
"Let me try to explain it this way. Shadow Mutants stay in groups and only way a Shadow Mutant is born is if one of the parents is a Shadow Mutant them self. The group, Coven, raises the child together but if something happens to the child's parent or parents in rare cases, the Coven takes over fully with the child. The child is raised with it's own kind and learns how to use their powers together. More than one transformation and each takes their transformations at different ages. Most normally close to the time their powers comes out but others are late bloomers." He explain and I think I'm getting it.
"The forms looks like vampires?" I asked shock.
"Traditional Vampires. That's where stories of Vampires originated actually. Shadow Mutants Covens are normally about five and if it's a hive they live in it's in the hundreds or thousands." Wow, a lot about myself I don't even know.
"What happen to mine?" I wonder out loud.
"I do not know. What I do know is who ever protect you as a baby sent you to a place where you would be able to be raised proper, you would have a slightly normal childhood. The orphanage you were at was Mutant Safe." He smile as he back up his wheelchair. "Before you ask I do not know either your Coven or who your parents were. If I did I would have helped you find them a long time ago when I first discover you."
"How long have you been watching us before you picked us up?" I asked softly looking to him confused.
"Since you were little. I found you around Amber's tenth birthday. Your powers were activated before then but not strong enough for me to track till we fixed,"
"Your confusing computer brain thing yes I know." He smiled again and I smile back getting up.
"So black eyes are normal?"
"Very."
"What about my sense in smell? I can smell fear and stuff when normally I can only feel it when I concentrate." That made the professor stop and looked to me confused.
"I will have to do some research in to that." He stated. I nod my head and walked out of his office and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen I sat at the table while the others were playing around. Ray was off with Kurt doing who knows what, hopefully not planning a painful prank on Bobby who's hitting on Alina. Poor Alina, she has a kid on her hip and trying to ignore him best she can. Spike is talking to Kitty and Rogue who eventually left. Spike pat Bobby on the shoulder and Bobby got up following Spike out of the side door. "They are gone!" Alina said bouncing like a kid. I try not to laugh as she did. She's such a goofball.
I took off my jacket cause it's not as cold in here as I thought it would be. When I did I saw a bruise on my arm. I know I didn't get it this morning from Sabertooth or Logan. I look at it and start to poke it. "What are you doing?" I heard someone ask and turn to see Ray walk up to us.
"I got a bruise trying to figure out where I got it from." I said going back to poking it.
"So you are poking it?" Alina ask with a snicker.
"Zip it." I growl to her and went back to my poking trying to figure out where it came from. I glance up to them laughing till Ray walked off and I sigh but kept up trying to figure out where I got it from.
I am a hundred and ten percent sure I didn't bump or anything to this arm so how did I get this bruise? I wonder poking it. It's on back of my lower arm. Risking another glance around I saw Alina trying to hold back laughing at me. She then stiffen up putting the kid on her hip down.
I watch as she grab some unexpected victim's arm pulling him in front of her. I try not to concentrate on him as she broke his arm. I did flinch cause I heard the break. She had him face down on floor his arm in awkward position on his back. Glancing over the table to see who's screaming in pain I laugh. It's Bobby!
"Seriously, Bobby?" She growl out.
"Dude, where you learn that?" One of the boys that hangs out with Bobby asked running over to us.
"My family is mostly in the Military and I'm the only girl born in to the family." She pop her neck and knuckles smiling down to Bobby. "Grab my butt again it's not just going to be your arm broken next time." She growled out standing up straight.
"Go Military families." I laugh out standing up and follow her out with the kid now following us like a lost puppy.
I got to Alina's side as the kid tug on her arm and she picked the little girl up putting her back on her hip. "Who are you?" I asked her sweetly, she trying to use Alina's shoulder length hair to hide herself.
"This is one of the kids of your class sibling." Alina inform me. I was slightly shock.
"Will I have you next year or something?" I wonder slightly and Alina slightly laugh.
"Her power is opposite of her sibling. Everyone is scared of her sibling but her, everyone loves her." I was shock again. "She can live a normal life but chooses to stay here with her sister." Alina was smiling and put the girl down and she ran off. "I am playing babysitter for a bit if you haven't tell yet." She laugh and I lightly push her.
We talked and laugh as we walked and then stopped out of no where as we ended up to the elevator down to where Hank's lab is. "Want to go see her?" I asked Alina who nod her head and we walked in to the elevator. I pressed the basement floor and once there stepping out.
I heard something and stop for a moment and listen. Was Amber laughing? No one other than Ray and I could ever make her laugh! I walked to the door and crack it slightly looking in and saw what was happening. Amber was leaning back on to Hank's chest and he has an arm wrapped around her waist to hold her on to the bed as she flip through some book. "What's this of?" She asked laughing lightly. She's smiling, he makes her smile.
"That is when we first met Bobby." Hank told her laughing as well. "He frozed my hand to my desk because he got aggravated at me for working so much." He said and she laugh again.
"Wow, why did Jean stop taking pictures? She's really good." Amber said flipping the page and I watch as her eyes light up. "Is this you before you were-"
"I've always been mutated but yes this is before my fur grew in." He said softly to her. She trace the picture softly.
"You were handsome." She stated with a deep blush.
"I was a lab nerd. Still am." He laugh out. "Always will be."
"So am I." She smiled up to him and I took a step back.
"Maybe we should go for now." I whisper to Alina who was watching as well. She nod her head and we went back up to the ground level. Once there we went for a run because Alina said she was feeling antsy just standing around and doing nothing. She's a gamer but the kids kind of over took the living room so we can't get to the game system. I'm not much of one.
By end of the day we were laughing and hanging out. Jean had to put Bobby's arm in a cast and he kept glaring in our direction. Rogue told Alina she did good and laugh at Bobby for being an idiot. I completely agree. Spike decided to announce he was never going to mess with her or get on her bad side. That made us all laugh harder. The only human scares the mutants that's wow. Go Alina!
