Chapter 35

Ari P.O.V

I woke up the next morning, just as the sun started to peak through the curtains. I sat up quietly, careful not to wake Cari in the bed next to mine. I stretched, and got out of bed. I padded quietly to the door, and left the small room.

Logan, Cyclops and Toad were all out of it, either on the inbuilt corner sofa, or the floor. I could hear Storm and Jeans quiet breathing from Cari's parent's bedroom. I could hear Vic moving round out the front of the caravan.

I slipped on the pair of trainers that I'd left down here, and quietly left the caravan. I walked round the front of the caravan, to see Vic sit down on the long swing chair that was placed there, and that faced the sea. I sat down next to him. His arm snaked round my waist, and drew me into his side. Vic placed a kiss in between my ears, as his other arm also wrapped around me.

"Morning Kitten."

"Morning." I replied. "How long have you been up?" I asked.

"About an hour. How did you sleep?"

"Like the dead." I chuckled.

"You feeling ok Kitten?" His voice was concerned.

"Fine Vic. Better now I've had a decent sleep. I think I only got an hour at a time at the facility."

"When this is over kitten, I want you to keep that tracker on. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been wearing it."

"You would have tracked me down."

"But it would have taken longer. I wouldn't be able to take it if I'd gotten there too late."

"You wouldn't have, but I'll keep it on."

"Thank you kitten." Vic said. "That'll stop me giving you an ultimatum." "What ultimatum were you going to give me?"

"Either you keep it on, or when all this is over, and that facility is gone, you'll be coming with me, so I can keep an eye on you."

"Some Ultimatum." I said. "The other option sounds good mind."

Vic chuckled. "You sure you don't want to say that you won't keep the tracker on then?"

"I'll keep it on, and finish school. Then, I'll move to America."

"Alright, but if something like this happens again, I'm taking you with me."

"Ok." I said. I heard a couple more people walking round in the caravan. "We should head inside."

"You go. I don't get on well with most people in there." He said.

"I'll bring you something to eat later then."

"Thanks kitten." Vic said, as he leant down to kiss me on my lips. It lasted longer than normal. "You should go in, it's quite cold out here."

I nodded and stood up. I walked back inside to see that everyone else was getting up.

"Where's Sabes?" Toad asked.

"Out front." I answered, nodding out the front window, which he was sitting just under.

"Thanks Tiger." He said. He brushed past me and out the caravan.

"Do any of you get along?" I asked.

"No." Logan said.

"But we're trying to work together, this once." Jean said.

"So, whose for breakfast?" Cari asked.

I stood up, and went to the fridge. I looked into it. "There's not enough here for all of us. Especially with at least three people with massive appetites."

"Looks like I'll have to make another trip into town." Cari said. "I'll get a jacket, and teleport. I'll be back in ten minutes."

"I'll come with you." Logan said standing up.

"Alright." she agreed.

Five minutes later, they had both left.
