Erik's POV
We arrived at Charles' home two days after he called his sister. I was surprised to hear that he had a sister other than Raven and disappointed to learn that she was not a mutant. I was not comforted at all when Charles assured us that she was fine with Mutants, seeing that Charles and Raven were both gifted with amazing abilities. The others though were very interested in learning about her, especially when Raven mentioned how pretty she was supposed to be. As far as I was concerned though, she was a lesser being.
We walked toward the huge mansion and the boys were all surprised by the size of it. I was even a bit impressed by its grandeur, but what caught my attention the most was the foliage. It was all green and in full bloom, yet we were coming into late fall. Charles even seemed surprised by his home.
"The flowers are amazing! I wonder how she did it." Raven's voice broke though my thoughts.
Charles shrugged and headed toward the mansion. "Well lets stop gawking at it and get inside." He called to us.
I moved to in front of Charles. A sudden eagerness took over my body. There was this pull that was calling me toward the mansion. I didn't understand it, but I was going to find out what it was.
Then out of nowhere I heard a threatening from in front of me as well as the left and right of our group. Three huge wolves stalked out of the surround woods and flanked us. Charles was shocked and confused by the beasts which allowed me to conclude that their presence was not expected.
I saw a metal rod near the edge of the woods and flung it at he beast in front of me. The rod hit it hard in the side and caused the wolf to howl in pain. Before I knew it the wolf had me pinned to the ground. It growled in my face threateningly as its pack mates enclosed our group.
"Erik! Don't make any sudden movements! If it wanted to harm us it would have already done so!" Charles told me in my mind.
"That's no understatement human!" A strong male voice echoed through my head, as well as the others. The boys shook in fear.
As the wolf applied more weight to my chest I heard soft footsteps approaching us quickly. A soft yet strong female voice followed it. "Rain! Lucian! Crea! Stop! These are our guests!"
