Mkay, so in the poll thing, I found out that D and E were tied, (at least I think so, I accidentally deleted the poll chapter before I tallied up the votes. I feel like such an idiot.) So I've decided to incorporate both, and possibly Scott later on. Sorry this took so long, I swear if there was a prize for "Worst Procrastinator" I'd win it. Also after I finish this story (somehow, sometime) I'd like to go back and re write at least the first few chapters, because reading them now makes me cringe. Anyway, enjoy this chapter because honestly, who knows when the next one will be up.

I ran out the door and rounded the corner, right into the warm chest of a certain Kurt Wagner.

"Oof!" The impact knocked the wind out of both of us, but I was the one who fell back on my butt, on the hard tile floors, right on my tail. 'Crack!'

Oww, oww, oww. That hurt. That hurt a lot. My tail was broken. I could feel it. Oww, oww. Sweat broke out on my forehead and I started shaking. The pain was unbearable. Kurt opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but it quickly shut when one of the tears found it's way out of my eye. He crouched down to help me up, carefully maneuvering it so that his blue fur never touched my skin.

"Are you alright?" His fake blue eyes looked me up and down carefully, searching me for any visible injuries.

"Y-yeah, I-I'm fine." I pulled away from Kurt and unsteadily wobbled over to lean on a locker. "Gah!" I squeezed my eyes shut against the pain as my tail was jolted with my movements. I had to get out of there, fast. "Hey, you go on to lunch without me, I've got to hit the restroom."

He looked me up and down again, "All right, but are you sure you're ok?"

I could see a bathroom just around the corner, all I needed to do was get to it so I could… do… something. I wasn't clear on the details.

"Yeah, of course! Why wouldn't I be?" I didn't give him time to answer. "Bye!"

I ran, or more like limped quickly, around the bend and into the bathroom. Slamming the door behind me, I ran into one of three stalls and inspected the damage done to my poor tail. It was bent at an unnatural angle, the break a dark purple color.

I leaned over the toilet as a wave of sickness washed over me. The sight of my tail at such an angle made me sick and I forced my self to look away. Ugh, that's just gross.

Slipping my inducer into my bag I made my way over to the unbroken sink. It didn't look like this bathroom was frequented by anybody. There was graffiti on the walls and the air smelled of stale smoke, all of the mirrors were cracked, and one of them was missing completely.

Turning the water on as cold as it could go, I clenched my teeth and hoisted my tail into the sink basin. The cold water was supposed to minimize bruising and swelling, or something. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as the cool water hit my poor tail. It wasn't much, but it helped a bit.

Ok, now what? I had no phone, and no way to get myself out of the building. I wonder if the professor could hear me all the way at the school. I mean, he is one of the most powerful telepaths in the world, if not the most. But what if Jean picked it up instead of the Professor?

'Well, only one way to find out, PROFESSOR! PROFESSOR! CAN YOU HEAR ME? PROFE-'

'WHAT?'

Umm, ow! That was loud. I rubbed my head to try and get rid of the slight ache that had settled in.

'Sorry Luna, but I was in the middle of something. Now, what do you need?'

I sent him a mental picture of where I was and my current predicament.

'My tail, I think it might be broken'

'Hmm, can you get outside? I could get Ms. Monroe to come get you'

' I don't know…' I had made it to the bathroom, but could I really make it all the way to the front? I pulled my tail out of the sink, and collapsed to the ground as it banged against the wall.

'That would be a no' The tears returned to my eyes and I hurriedly blinked them away. Using the sink to steady myself I slowly pulled up. Finally getting to my feet again I sent a thought at the professor.

'If you didn't get that last one, I won't be walking that far anytime soon'

'Well, I could ask one of the students to come get you. Any preferences?'

'You can't send Ms. Monroe into the school so she can help me walk?'

'How do you expect her to do that? She can't carry you'

'I don't need carrying, I just need a shoulder.'

'Are you sure?'

I stood up completely, taking my weight off the sink and trying to make my way out the bathroom door.

'Yeah, I'm su-' I was cut off as a particularly ungraceful step sent a jolt of pain through my tail and up my spine. I just barely kept from falling over again.

'Ok, never mind, but I don't think any of the other students could carry me either.'

'Scott, Evan, and Kurt could.' Oh, gee, that would be awkward at all. 'Hey I know you think we just met this morning, but I'm really Chiro who has been living with you for more than a month' Gee, nothing weird about that.

'Are you sure that would be a good idea? I mean-'

I got cut off as the door behind me swung open, revealing a very annoyed-looking Todd Toalanski. Time seemed to slow down as adrenaline sped through my veins. The pain in my tail vanished as I whirled around to face the "evil" teenager that had me cornered, injured, and without backup. Almost without any conscious thought half-formed balls of slush formed from the water flowing out of the tap and hurled themselves at the surprised amphibian. He ducked just in time and crouched behind a trash can as a few more started to form behind me. The pain long forgotten, I ran out into the empty hallway and sprinted to front doors, pushing them open as hard as I could, getting out of that school the only thought in my head.

I jumped two at a time down the concrete stairs the grass, and promptly blacked out from the pain.

I'm not really sure if someone would pass out from breaking their tail, but considering it's an extension of the spine I assume it's possible. And I have another question for you guys; I try to keep my chapters at least 1000 words long, but it takes me awhile because I tend to get bored and stop. But if the chapters were shorter, (just by a little, like, 700-800) I would most likely be able to update more frequently. What do yall think? Leave a review and tell me! Thanks for reading!
