Hi, I'm here! Ok, so in my opinion this chapter is super sweet! But, who am I to say anything, right? So you'll be the judge.
Of, this chapter was brought thanks to my super sister Real Emma Gray. I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!
Danger
"Alright everybody, listen up! I'll divide each of you in pairs. John and Jubilee, Bobby and Rogue, Peter and Alice. Kitty, you stay with Storm at the simulator. Any questions?" I had tons, but Scott didn't gave us the time to do so. "Ok, GO!"
Just like magic, the once white and empty room transformed into a jungle in the middle of the night. I was too distracted with the view to see that a hand was pulling me.
"Come on Alice, we need to keep it low. Come with me." If it wasn't for Peter, I'd be hit by a …missile? Holy crap! He didn't say twice before we took off running.
I didn't see where the others were, all I could hear was the occasionally shouts to duck, run and hide. Peter and I were doing well so far, which means that he was protecting me from anything that was falling from the sky.
"What is that?" I managed to yell after we hid behind a chunk of wall that was on the ground. I was breathing heavily and I never thought I could run as fast as that. I guess fear makes you do those things.
"Sentinels," he answered, looking up as well. "These things are programmed to kill all mutants." All the color suddenly drained from my face. Were there things designed to kill us?
"But who.…" I couldn't finish because one of those things, those sentinels, found us. So we did our best to barrel threw the wall like it was paper, but the huge robot shot instantly.
My God, the thing was enormous this giant robot with guns pointing everywhere! What chances did we have?
"John, watch out!" I only saw a flame from my left before it was aimed at the sentinel. But no harm was done to the thing. John must be really frustrated right now.
I was freaking out! I realized that Peter was nowhere in sight and the guns were coming from everywhere. I should have been scared out of my wits now, but all I could think about was: where the hell is Peter?What if he's hurt or unconscious? These things are too real for this to be a simulation.
Behind a rock, I started to look at my surroundings, looking for any sight of him. Let's be honest, it's hard to miss a 6´6 silver man. Nothing.
I heard more shouting from Bobby and the rest of the pairs, but still nothing from him. I was beyond scared! My knees and feet were probably bleeding and I couldn't feel my legs, but I couldn't stop. I had to find him.
Suddenly I heard a loud crack coming from my left and when I saw the pile of smoke slowing down and the glowing Colossus in front of me, I couldn't hide the smile that was coming.
Peter was smiling too, and when we got closer I was about to shout at him for worrying me so much, but when I saw the sentinel appeared out of nowhere behind him, something to come over me.
"NO!" I knew it was coming for him, and I don't know how it happened, nor am I sure if I controlled or not, but I just feel this rage coming from me that I never felt before. It couldn't take him!
It was so strong, almost overpowering me, but the feeling was the thing that stopped the sentinel. I felt this urge coming from my body and flowing through my veins, and the next thing I knew, the sentinel stopped with a loud thump on the floor, because a giant tree went straight through its middle.
Simulation complete.
Neither of us said anything. That or I didn't hear Peter. I was too shocked to move. Did I really just do that?
"THAT WAS AWESOME ALICE!" The simulation was over. Which means that the forest was gone, along with the sentinel. But my tree was still there. Damn.
"Did I…?" I couldn't think straight as Kitty engulfed me in a bone crushing huge.
"The first one to get a sentinel by yourself. That's pretty awesome girl!" Right, I guess that's supposed to make me feel better about the whole thing.
"That's true, you did great Alice. We're proud of you," Storm and Scott told me and then released us to go back to our classes. From the corner of my eye I saw that the only one that wasn't pleased with the results from the simulator was John.
"Don't worry about him. He's just jealous that he didn't get to strike the ugly thing before you," Bobby patted my shoulder and followed Rogue and the rest of the group while I stayed behind, taking everything in. I took the first step when I felt this huge pain in my back. Son of a.…
"Are you ok Alice?" I didn't realize that Peter stayed behind with me when our group dispersed. I couldn't look up because every tiny movement would only increase my pain.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Just a little sore from my first train, that's all." I started to walk and it wasn't doing me any better.
"I can see that you're fine." Without warning, he picked me up and started to walk. Some manners! "I'm going to fix that for you." His wink shouldn't give me butterflies, but it did. Maybe I'm delirious from the pain.
"Where are you taking me, Pete?" Ok, I admit that this was way better than walking all the way back to my dorm, but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing how good he was making me feel.
"My room, where else?" This was starting to become a habit for us. I wonder if the others were going to be there… not that I mind it of course.
"Just lie and rest there missy." Was it just me or had the boys room suddenly changed? It was… well, clean! At it smelled good. What happened, the cleaning fairy came here or something?
"Wow, now that's a habitable environment," I chuckled, but didn't move from my spot facing the floor. I heard his laughter and felt the floor move. Yep, it was definitely Peter.
"Let's just say that I give the boys a good reason to clean our place." So, Peter did that? I never thought he was the convincing type of guy, especially with the boys. What could be the reason? "Now, just relax and get some rest." What was he talking ab.…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dear Lord, I died and went to heaven! I didn't even felt the bed shift until Peter was beside me. When I felt his hands on my back I thought he was going to break my bones and put them back in place. But I couldn't be more wrong. His hands were doing wonders on my back! I couldn't think straight.
"Is that better?" he asked softly and I swear I didn't mean to let the moan slip out of my mouth. But I couldn't help it, it was just too good. "I'll take that as a yes," he chuckled.
Peter should be a masseuse, period. The man knows what he's doing. So, I'll have to add that to my list in things that Peter is good at. Cooking, arts, fighting skills and now massage. He's one talented guy. Any woman that has the fortune to be with him will be the luckiest woman in the world.
I felt my stomach drop. The thought of Peter happy with a woman made me sad. How could I be more selfish? He's my friend, I'm supposed to have happy thoughts about him and his life.
"I didn't know you could do that," Peter said, as softly as before, once more taking me from my internal thoughts. "To use your powers like that, I mean." He stopped when I turned around to face those beautiful blue eyes that were staring at me with as much as intensity as I was staring back at him.
"I didn't think I was capable of that either." It was the truth, and we both knew that.
"Then why did you?" He didn't move from his place, so were both closer than before. A little déjà vu feeling came over. What was I supposed to say? The truth, of course.
"Because it was going to hurt you. And I couldn't let that happen." All the noise from outside seemed to vanish, and the only people were the two of us. "It was stronger than me. The idea of you being hurt… I just couldn't handle it." When I felt his fingers brush on my cheeks, I closed my eyes. I didn't know why, I just did.
"Now you know how I feel." I felt his breath so close to me that in any second.…
"THERE YOU TWO ARE! Come on guys, the Professor is looking for you!"
Are you serious Kitty?
I know, I know; Kitty has the worst time ever!
BUT, if you want these two to stop being interrupted by her or anyone else, review and I'll fulfill your wish! ;)
