"Ahhhh!" Logan cried out as pearly teeth ripped his flesh. His eyes were wide and hands clutched tightly into fists, preparing to fight back. In one motion the muscular man sank adementum claws deep within the black wolf's side. With a yelp she jumped back, snarling as huge paws swiped the air.
"LOGAAAAAN!" Riley's eyes flashed, pain coursing through her own body now from the three gashes in her side. With narrowed eyes she watched as Logan stood to his feet, hands still clutched tightly. Neither being moved, they simply stood for several long seconds, staring into the others eyes.
It was like something went off inside the two and suddenly they both lunged forward, claws out and muscles tense. With each stride Riley felt rage and frustration building up in her, and she was ready to take it out on Logan, the one she felt had provoked her.
"ENOUGH!" the word split through the dark night, causing both Logan and Riley to stop dead in their tracks. Thick gray clouds built up over the area within seconds, thunder and lightning rolling within them. The wind was fierce and swirling, very different from a minute before. Then it all stopped; the thunder, lighting, wind, - all of it.
"What is going on?" The voice belonged to Storm, one of the mutants who taught at Xavier's school."Logan, what happened? You were only supposed to see if she would come, not fight with her.
"Yeah, well that plan didn't work. Professor told me he wanted to see her."
"You know he wouldn't force her, or anyone to come to the school."
"Sure, Stormy."
While the two talked Riley slowly turned and began heading off quietly into the forest, not wanting to stay and listen to the older mutants arguing anymore. Then it all went black.
'Where am I?' Riley's eyes opened slowly. Her head was throbbing, and after a few seconds she realized she wasn't a wolf anymore. The wounds in her side had healed though, so that was good.
Glancing around the room Riley noticed paneled wood walls, a closet, two chairs by a table in the corner, and a few other furnishings. It was a nice room, and the bed she was now sitting upright on was soft. Then she saw it, the door. Jumping up Riley ran over and grabbed the brass handle, ready to run, but was stopped. The door was locked, and after a few seconds of banging on the sturdy wood Riley realized she was trapped.
"Great, just great." she muttered quietly, walking back to the bed and flopping down on it. "Now what? I'm probably in Xavier's school, thanks to that stupid Logan. Why wouldn't he just leave me alone?"
"~Because I asked him to find you.~"
Riley jumped, startled by the voice. Nobody else was in the room, but they could hear her and she could clearly hear them.
"~It's alright, Riley. I know it's a bit strange, but you'll be okay. My name is Professor Xavier.~"
