Chapter One
Kitty Pryde remained huddled up the corner of her room with tears streaming down her cheeks. Her head had been pounding harder and harder as the past few hours had passed, although she was desperately trying to fight the urge to scream out in pain. But then again this had become the usual routine, start to develop a headache, say goodnight to everyone to stop them becoming suspicious, take painkillers that don't help, curl in the corner of the room and cry the pain out, when someone knocks pretend to be asleep and in the morning blame the bloodshot eyes on a bad night sleep. The only difference this time was that the pain was so much more intense and felt like she had been stabbed in the head with a needle through a voodoo doll.
As the pain once again took an increse in intensity, Kitty wished she could tell someone what was going on to her but backed out of the idea as she didn't feel anyone would pay attention to her problems with all that was going on to the other X-Men, Jean would be too busy spending time with Scott, Logan was constantly travelling away from the Institute, Rouge would be spending her time moaning, Orco would be too busy looking after the place and even her best friend Bobby would be too busy playing pranks to be serious for once. It wasn't as if she dared tell Beast or Forge as they'd just go on with pointless tests and things. So Kitty carried on holding the burden of the constant pain until everytime it would become so strong it would knock her clean out.
Bobby Drake had been pacing around his room for the past hour with his hand scraping through his blond locks every so often. The ice mutant had only recently been noticing the constant disappearences of his best friend. It never really dawned on him just how much Kitty had disappeared from his life until he thought back to the last timme he played a prank with his partner in crime. Everytime he checked on her she always seemed fast asleep and he didn't have the heart to wake her up and see if she was alright but when he eventually thought about it he was confused how she complained of lack of sleep to go with the red eyes but the more ridiculous that sounded when he had seen her fast asleep.
'One last check wouldn't do no harm' Bobby thought to himself as he walked out of his room and down the hallway to Kitty's room.
Upon reaching the room Bobby notice some muffled sounds but took no notice of them. Quietly he stepped into the room and stared around to find Kitty in one of the corners, her head resting upon her arms with the muffled sounds clearly coming from Kitty. Within seconds Bobby was by her side, sliding down the wall next to her placing an a rm around her and pulling her onto his lap and letting her cry into his chest while he just rubbed her back and muttered soothing words.
Over an hour had passed before Kitty had stopped crying and just rested her head against the cold of Bobby's chest, drifting in and out of sleep while her fellow X-Man sat with his arms placed protectively around her. Thoughout all the years Bobby had known his best friend the only time he had ever seen her cry like this was when Jean and the Professor had disappear all those years ago. This caused so many thoughts to rush though Iceman 's head, Is someone gone? Did she dream someone disappeared? Or Someone dying? and many other questions surfaced due to his protectiveness toward Shadowcat.
Kitty stirring was enough to pull Bobby out of his thoughts and toward the girl laying in his arms. "Bobby?" She asked clearly still a bit dazed from her sleep.
"Yeah its me Kits, Just go back to sleep and I'll explain in the morning" Bobby replied trying to sooth the girl back to sleep.
With a quick nod, Kitty repositioned herself against Bobby's chest before falling straight back to unconcious sleep. Smiling at the sight, Bobby gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before falling into sleep with his arms still positioned protectively making sure nothing was going to scare the poor girl tonight.
