Chapter 36

"Well Mara, you are all set to go." I said.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yea. Everything looks good. You're healing very well. You just need to take it easy for a little bit. You're still healing so you may be a bit sore." I said.

"Okay. Is there anything I can take for the pain?" she asked.

"Yea. This bottle is full of pain killers. Only take them if you feel pain, and wait at least four hours between doses. I don't want you to be in here for an overdose." I told her.

"Gotcha. Can I take one now?" she asked.

"Yea." I laughed. "So, I want you back in here in a few weeks so I can see how you're doing alright?"

"Yep." she said.

"Alright. You're free to go." I told her.

"Thank you, Miss Pixie." she said.

"Your welcome. Now go on." I said.

She smiled and left my office with a small bounce in her step. She looked one hundred percent better than what she did a few days ago when she came into my office. I sat down in my chair so I could finish her chart when Logan burst into my office. He was breathing heavily and was hunched over.

"You alright?" I asked.

He held up his hand in a 'wait a minute' gesture, trying to catch his breathe. After a few minutes, he stood upright and heaved a big breathe.

"Charles wants us all in his office." he said.

"Oh." I said, trying to put all my papers away in a hurry. I threw everything in my desk and locked it.

I jumped up from my chair and walked quickly to the door. Logan stepped out and waited while I locked my door. We walked quickly down the stairs and into Charles' office. Everyone was there already.

"Glad you could join us." said Scott.

"Can it Scooter." said Logan.

"Boys." I said.

Logan grabbed my hand and led me to the couch. We sat down and waited for Charles to speak.

"Yesterday, I spoke with Mara and got some information as to who exactly was on the property. When I found out, I was quite shocked. I haven't heard from this person in long time, and thought him dead for some time. That was until Pixie came to be with us." said the professor.

"What does this guy have to do with me?" I asked.

"Everything." spoke the professor.

I was a bit confused but then it hit me.

"They want revenge on me?" I asked.

"I'm afraid so." said Charles.

I felt Logan's hand tighten over mine and felt him become more protective.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"He was a student of mine, a long time ago. He was the son of Strycker. Strycker took his son from the school and vanished from everything. We tried looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Until a few years ago, we caught wind of him. He was sent to watch over someone by his father." said Charles.

"Who was he sent to watch over?" asked Scott.

Charles turned his gaze from Scott to me.

"Me?" I asked.

Charles only nodded.

"Jason." said Charles.

I felt a cold shiver run through me at the realization.

"Jason?" I asked.

"Yes. He was sent by his father to watch over you while you were at college. You two dated for awhile until you found out that he sent your best friends to their death am I correct?" asked Charles.

I could only nod. I couldn't believe that Jason was the one after me. I knew he had an evil side, but not the kind as his father's. Along with the fact that he was Strycker's son made everything worse.

"You were designed to be a killer, Pixie. The ultimate weapon, along with Logan. Strycker made you two alike, so that when you two joined forces, you would be indestructible. He sent Jason to make sure you made it here Pixie. But along the way, his mind set changed and now he wants revenge." said Charles.

"Revenge for what?" I asked.

"For the death of his father. You were the reason he died. His father was quite taken with you. Strycker was quite involved with making you perfect. Jason I suppose was jealous at the fact of his father spending more time with you than him." said Charles.

"So, Jason feels it's Pixies fault that Strycker died. He was already dead when I found him." said Logan.

"Yes I know that. We just have to find out who killed Strycker, and make sure Jason gets nowhere near Pixie." said Charles.

"Well, I increased the security around the mansion. So, if anyone gets near here that isn't a student, we'll know about it." said Logan.

"Excellent. For now, I want everyone to go about their business as if it were every other day. I don't want to raise suspicion among the students." said Charles.

Everyone nodded.

"I'll keep looking into who could have killed Strycker, and where exactly Jason is hiding. Until then, try not to let this information take you over." said the professor, more to me than to anyone else.

I nodded at him and looked down. We all got up and filed out of the professors office. I started walking towards my office when Logan stopped me.

"You gonna be alright?" he asked.

I tried nodding but erupted in tears. He pulled me into a hug, whispering soothing words trying to calm me down.

"Why is this happening to me?" I cried out.

"I don't know baby." he said.

"I mean, I haven't seen or heard from him in years, why all of a sudden is he after me?" I said, pulling away from Logan.

"Pix, I don't know, but whatever it is the professor will find it and we will stop him, okay? But right now you can't fret about this. I know it's hard not to but you have to think of you and the baby, and everyone else around here." he said.

I put my head to the ground and started crying more. He lifted my head up with his hand and looked me in the eye.

"Okay?" he asked,

I closed my eyes and nodded. He pulled me back into a hug and I thanked everything that I had in my life.

"Knock, knock." said Sarah.

I looked up from my desk and saw her in my doorway.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I was wondering, if you would do the honors of an ultrasound?" she asked, walking in and sitting down.

"Well, I dunno, I'd have to check my schedule." I said.

"Oh whatever!" she yelled.

I laughed. "I know, I'll do it now if you want to."

"Okay!" she said.

I laughed and stood up. I walked into my exam room and grabbed the sonogram machine and hooked it up.

"Lay down lady." I said.

Sarah laid down on the table and I put gel onto her stomach. I grabbed the transducer and put it on her stomach. I rolled it around a bit until I found the picture of Sarah's baby.

"And there it is!" I said.

"That's it?" she asked.

"Yep. Do you wanna know what it is?" I asked her.

"Uh, I dunno." she said.

"Well, I'll write it down and that way, if you change your mind, you can come back and find out." I said.

"That works! I'll ask Ryan and see if he wants to know." said Sarah.

"Okay." I said.

I hint the print button and a picture of the baby was printed. I turned off the sonogram machine and put it away. I grabbed a washcloth and wiped off Sarah's stomach. I grabbed the picture and put it in her file. I wrote down what sex it was and a few other little notes.

"So, uh, about this whole Jason thing. Are you okay?" asked Sarah.

"I guess. It's not everyday you get someone who wants to kill you." I said, slapping her file onto the table.

"Wings, we don't know if he wants to kill you or not. All we heard was he wants revenge." said Sarah.

"Yea, and that usually means death." I said.

"Wings, I know this must be scary, but you can't let this get to you. We are all gonna do everything we can to make sure this creep doesn't get anywhere near you." she said.

"I know." I said.

"This would be the time where I say we need a drink, but since that's on hiatus, how about a soda?" she asked.

We both laughed as I got up and put away her file. I locked up my office and we headed down the stairs into the kitchen.

"So, you're gonna ask Ryan?" I asked her.

"Yea. He should be home soon. He ran out with Scott to test drive the new car." said Sarah, looking so not enthused.

I laughed as I took a sip of my soda and turned my head towards the window. I wondered how Jason could have gotten so close to the school, and why he didn't make a move then and there. He was obviously ready.

"Wings?" asked Sarah.

"Uh?" I asked, turning back towards her.

"You need to stop thinking about it." she said.

"I know, it's just to hard." I said.

"Well, what you need to do is go and find that huge hunk of a cowboy you got yourself, and have a little fun." she said.

I could only smile at her humor. Only she would think of sex at a time like this. But she was right.

"I suppose a little thing wouldn't hurt." I smiled.

"No it wouldn't." she smiled.

She gave me a wink as I took one last sip of my soda and went in search of my huge hunk of a cowboy.

I found him working on the assimilation room. I walked upstairs to find him shirtless, sweaty, with grease all over him. In times like this I wish I had a camera. I stood back by the door and watched. Watched his muscles ripple underneath his skin, the sweat fall down his body in little waterfalls.

"You done staring?" he asked.

"It's no fun sneaking up when you know I'm here." I said.

"You just have to learn to be more stealth like." he said, walking up to me.

"Can you teach me?" I asked him, smirking.

"I would be glad to." he said.

He met his lips with mine and I longed for his touch more so than I ever had. I was pushed against the wall as his lips ravaged mine.

"You know. This isn't exactly the best place to be." I said.

"And where would you suggest?" he asked, smiling.

I wrapped my arms around him and closed my eyes. I focused my energy on his weight and mine. I opened my eyes and we were in our room.

"I like that trick." he said.

"Me too." I smiled.

I locked the door with my mind and instantly jumped him. Ever since becoming pregnant, I have wanted Logan more and more, I mean who wouldn't? It was a good thing my hormones were out of wack because it made me lose touch with the real world, and at the moment, it was a good thing.

Thanks for sticking with me! Finals are over thank goodness, so hopefully i can get back into my routine...please review and let me know what you think!
