Over the next couple of weeks Kitty and Tracy became close friends, they spent all their time together when they weren't in school. Logan was always helping Tracy hone her senses better since she was still new to them. She was being taught how to control her telepathy by Jean at first but their strong personalities helped them in fighting almost everytime they were together so the professor took up the job as teacher instead. Nightcrawler soon joined her and Kitty's circle of friends and they became very close. Right now they were all in the Professor's library studying for their science test tomorrow, the conversation they were holding though had nothing to do with the test.

"Oh my gosh! Peter is so cute!" Kitty exclaimed in a hushed whisper. From his position to Kitty's right, Nightcrawler rolled his eyes and groaned.

"You girls are vay to obsessed with dese guys." He thumped his head against the book he was reading softly several times before sending Tracy a pleading glance.

"Sorry 'Crawler, I'm just as bad." Kitty and Tracy snickered as Kurt groaned again. They were hushed by several other kids in the room and they started giggling again. Someone entered the library so they quieted down and turned towards the double doors to see who their new visitors were. Seeing Jean's daughter Rachel enter with her posse they turned back to their work books and stared hard at the pages. Rachel was the snobbiest girl at the school, of course only the students knew this because her parents were too blinded by her innocent act to see past her front. Clarabel, Hank and Storm's daughter, followed closely behind Rachel with her identical twin sister Marianna at her side.

Rachel had her mother's long red hair and bright green eyes, she was tall and skinny, she was the leader of the cheerleading squad and she loved to flaunt it. Clarabel had short white hair and blue eyes, her body was skinny but voluptuous like her mother. Marianna was almost exactly the same except she had blue streaks dyed into her hair and it hung limply to her hips. The girls were giggling about something as they walked through the library but they stopped when they reached the table Tracy, Kitty, and Kurt were sitting at.

"What is this?" Rachel's voice was cold as she regarded Tracy and her friends. "This is so not your table, get up or else I'm gonna have to kick your butts." Since she was a telepath she figured that she could do whatever she wanted and Tracy didn't like it one bit.

"We were here first Rachel." Kitty's voice was soft and timid, she was clearly disturbed by the other girl's presence.

"Ja!" Kurt reaffirmed as he tried to boost Kitty's faltering confidence.

"Do you really think I care?" Rachel smirked as she adjusted her stance. Tracy had been sitting quietly at the table trying to restrain her temper but the red headed girl was really pushing her limits. Clarabel and Marianna giggled as they lightly pushed Rachel on the shoulders.

"Do it Rachel!" Clarabel encouraged her as she smirked.

"Show 'em who's boss!" Marianna finished her sister's sentence.

"Not just yet, I still gotta give them fair chance." Rachel's voice was laced with venom as she gave Tracy a dirty look. "What's wrong lil girl? Cat gotcha tongue?" Tracy's temper was slowly ripping and she was trying to restrain herself. "C'mon Experiemtent #345, aren't you gonna fight back?" Rachel's refural of Tracy's past boiled her blood as she rose from the table. She had never felt so insulted in her life.

"Ooh, you gonna fight back?" Clarabel snickered after she spoke.

"Beware Rachie, this girl looks tough." Marianna said sarcasticly.

"What's wrong Experiement girl, afraid you're gonna get hurt, or maybe the scientist's will come back to get you. Oh wait I forgot, you killed them escaping didn't you? That's right, you're a murderer not a girl." Tracy couldn't take it anymore, she reacted. She swiped at Rachel's pretty face filled with the urge to rip her open, to feel her blood on her fingers. Rachel pulled back at the last minute but Tracy's claws still cut her lightly on the cheek. She squealed in indignation before punching wildly at Tracy. The striped girl bit Rachel's fist as it slammed her mouth and the copper taste of blood filled her senses. Rachel screamed in pain as she pulled away.

"You monster!" Clarabel yelled as she pushed her way into the battle. Not wanting Tracy to fight alone Kurt appeared in front of the flailing girl and blocked her way. The white haired girl punched at Kurt letting her enhanced strength fly through her. The punch landed into Kurt's stomach and he flew far backwards from the girl's punch.

Marianna waded into the fight to assist her sister and Rachel but was blocked by Kitty's imposing form. The girl was small but she could be menacing when she wanted to. Kitty phased through the attacking girl and grabbed her from behind. Her small hands gripped the girls sides as she kneed her in the bottom. Marianna scream indignantly as she pulled free of Kitty's grasp. The girl was simply an empath so her fight was weak and ill managed.

Tracy slashed at Rachel's stomach and kicked her in the chest. The red headed girl flew backwards and landed on her bottom. Suddenly the double doors of the library opened and Rachel's parents entered. Jean gasped at the sight of all the blood on the carpet and furniture from Rachel and she quickly grabbed Tracy with her telekinesis. Tracy roared angrily as she struggled against the hold. Scott stopped the remaining to battles easily with a quick blast to each person. They stood in two groups, Rachel, Clarabel, and Marianna in one with Tracy, Kurt, and Kitty in the other.

"What the he..." Scott started.

"Scott, language." Jean interupted her husband and glanced at him quickly. Scott cleared his throat and started again.

"What was going on?" He asked. Tracy turned away from the group and walked to the window. She really didn't want to deal with the oblivious parents at the time. "Tracy get back here." Scott ordered her but she ignored him. Opening up the window she leapt out of it and onto her balcony which was directly below the library only two floors down. She opened her balcony doors and entered her dark room. She was a recessive person by nature, once she became more familiar with the mansion she customized her room so it suited her tastes. The walls were painted black with dark orange patterns on them, the orange patterns were mostly random designs but on the main wall that was next to her bed she had a orange and black tiger on it. The orange stripes were all that seperated it from the blackness of the wall.

Her bed had black covers but she had orange pillows, she didn't have many personal affects in her room but it still represented everything she was. Her dresser had a few random items on it like hair brushes and jewelery, but it had a fake stuffed tiger on it. Logan had given it to her as a birthday gift when he found out that she had recently turned eighteen. She loved that tiger more than anything save Logan himself, she slept with the tiger at night and pampered it during the day, she made sure it never was ripped and if by chance it did she sewed it carefully up and refilled it with fluff that might've fallen out. She had started crushing on Logan soon after her arrival at the mansion but he was blissfully unaware of her feelings. Tracy was afraid that if he found out he'd never speak to her again.

Tracy plopped down lazily onto her bed and rested into her thoughts. She and Logan hung out a lot, they did everything together. Most of the time Kitty and Kurt were hanging out together at the mall because they were dating and didn't want the world imposing so Tracy would hang out with Logan while they were gone. They would do all sorts of things from watching movies curled up on the couch to playing a personal game of football. They even went hunting together, of course they never killed anything but they tried to out do eachother at tagging the animals. Life was wonderful together. There was a knock on her door and she reached out with her telepathy to see who it was. Sensing Logan's presence she assumed he was there to lecture her on running from Scott and Jean.

"Open up Tracy." He only used her given name when he was trying to be serious and she could sense how upset he was. Standing up she went to the door and opened it up for him. Logan's face was serious and his arms were crossed, he entered the room when she stepped to the side. He closed the door behind him and stood menacingly before her.

"Somethin' wrong Logan?" Tracy asked sarcasticly as she plopped down onto the bed again. He growled low in his throat in a irritated manner. She smirked and growled back at him.

"Why do ya hafta get inta fights all tha time Stripes?" His tone was frustrated and resigned in one as he sat down beside her.

"You know why Logan, you just don't believe me." Tracy turned over in bed so she didn't have to look at him.

"Trace, ya know I love ya as a daughter girl, and I really don't think yer makin' some wise choices by gettin' inta all these fights with Rachel." Tracy turned over again so she could see his eyes but he had turned away to stare blankly at her pillows. "Tha Professor is havin' a hard time dealin' with ya so me an' him have been talkin' and we think it'll be best fer ya and tha rest of tha school if ya..." His voice got so low that even with her heightened senses she couldn't understand him.

"Speak up Logan, I can't hear you." Tracy was concerned on what he was trying to say because he obviously didn't want to tell her.

"Yer bein' sent ta tha Massachusets academy." Her eyes widened when she realized what he was talking about and she shook her head violently.

"No! Emma Frost is a mean old woman who's so heartless and she hates me Logan! She frickin' hates me!" She began to shake from her distress and Logan gripped her so she couldn't hurt herself. She struggled so hard against him that he had trouble holding her down. "I don't wanna go there Logan! Please no! I don't wanna go with that evil woman! I don't wanna leave my friends! I don't wanna leave you!" She admitted at last. Logan's surprise got to him and his grip loosened. Tracy shook especially hard and they fell off the bed with Tracy landing on top of Logan on the floor. Tracy began to sob and pressed her face into Logan's chest as her shaking increased. She mumbled unintelligbly as she sobbed.

"Aw Trace, babe, ya gotta calm down. Yer gonna get a headache if ya don't calm yerself." Logan rubbed her head with one hand and with the other he stroked her back. She couldn't stop and began to whimper wildly. Not knowing what to do Logan pressed his lips to hers in a rough kiss. Tracy hushed and returned his kiss with passion. The kiss went from passionate to tender in seconds. Their arms wrapped around eachother and Logan flipped them so he could be on top. They pulled away from eachother and stared into eachother's eyes as they breathed heavily.

"Logan..." Tracy moaned his name telepathically before pulling him back into her kiss. Logan's hands brushed down her sides gently as he searched her body. His hands came to the juncture at her thighs and he touched her in her most personal place. She could feel his excitement against her stomach and she longed to show him how badly she wanted him too. A knock at the door interupted their kiss and Logan pulled away quickly. He stood up and helped her up from the floor. She rose and brushed at her clothes, straightening them out so she wouldn't look to conspiciuous. The knock came again and Tracy answered the door. Scott was standing at the door with an agitated look on his face.

"The Professor wants to see you." His voice was rough and demanding as he regarded her. He looked over her shoulder and saw Logan. "And I need to talk to you." Tracy pulled away from the door and slammed it in Scott's face. Anger flooded her. She didn't want to deal with this yet, she wasn't ready. She turned and ran to the window, pushing past a surprised Logan at the same time. The door was knocked open and Scott chased after her. Tracy leapt off her balcony and landed easily onto the grass below. She pushed the button on her image disrupter so she looked like a normal person and started running and didn't stop until she was far away from the mansion and the immense property. Climbing up a tree in one of the numerous parks she collapsed against a branch and struggled to regain her breathing.

She was always running. No matter what it was she was always running. Her life was one big mess because she couldn't stop running. Tracy sighed once she could breathe normally again. She could hear somebody below her and she quieted down. The person started climbing up the tree and she stilled. Seeing Taris, the person she had met the second day she was at the mansion she cocked an eyebrow. He was the last person she thought they would send after her. They sat silently for a few moments before Taris spoke.

"What didja do to get all the anger directed at you?" His voice was deep and pleasant as he spoke to her.

"Pissed off Rachel Summer's 'cause I'm different, fought her plenty of times and nobody believes me when I say that she's not an angel." Tracy shrugged indifferently and looked past the leaves at the surounding people. This park was not as popular as most and there weren't a lot of people.

"I see. I used to have the same problem when I was younger. Had to do a lot to earn their trust." His voice held pain and Tracy wondered what caused it.

"Why were you so untrustworthy?" Her voice beheld the curiousity developing.

"Because my father is Sabretooth, master of murder and mahem, but along those lines I'm feral like him. Only me, I'm tiger like you." As he spoke tattoos spread across his skin and fur appeared, the small fangs he had before grew longer and sharper and claws pushed past his finger tips.

"Wow." Was the only thing she could think of to say as she gazed at his growing mutation. He transformed back into his normal form and Tracy was amazed.

"You see, you're not very different from everybody else." Taris' voice was calming as he reassured her. "In fact, you're just like everybody else, just unique."
