Douglas's pov:
Sam crumpled to the ground for the second time, and I swooped down to grab her. "Sam!"
Storm stopped me. "Kurt, what was she trying to tell you?"
Kurt shook his head. "Her past haunts her. What exactly is for her to say."
"What do you mean, 'Her past haunts her?' What about her past? She knew you two, right? Three years ago? That's when I met her. But what happened? Is she having flashbacks?" I asked, sitting down, and pulling Sam into my lap so she wouldn't get hurt. I wanted to help her, but I didn't know how.
"I don't know." Kurt said awkwardly.
But I knew he was lying.
Samara's pov:
I woke up staring at Douglas's worried face.
"You're awake!" He said. "What happened?"
I couldn't tell him. Kurt, Storm, help me. I don't want to lie to him, but I don't know what he'll do if he knows. Let's leave now, quickly. I mind-spoke.
Kurt took my hand, and took Storm's. I got up, and grabbed Douglas. "Let's go."
BAMF!
We were a hundred feet away, on a log.
BAMF!
In a swamp.
BAMF!
In a lake. "Sorry!" Kurt said-
BAMF!
On the shore. "I misjudged the distance." Kurt apologized.
"Brr." Griffin said, shivering. "Why does it have to be so cold?"
Storm smiled. "Need a change of weather?"
Suddenly, it was sunny, and warm. Soon we were all dry, and ready to go.
BAMF!
BAMF!
BAMF!
BAMF!
Kurt collapsed to the ground next to an old cottage. "We have to stop here. I can't go much further, and it's getting late."
Storm helped him up, and opened the door. Inside were two bunkbeds, a cabinet, and a couch.
"This is a safehouse. Only mutants can enter." Kurt explained. Then he BAMF!-ed into a bed, and fell asleep.
"Teleporting takes a lot out of a guy." Storm explained. "You better rest, too, Sam. We'd need you if anything happens."
"Like, if we were attacked?" Douglas asked. "But how would a telepath help?"
"I'm not just a telepath." I confessed. "Actually, I'm not really a telepath. It's sort of a side-power. I'm a telekinetic."
"A telekatenik?" Douglas asked.
"Telekinetic. I can move things with my mind." I said.
"Oh, awesome." Douglas said distractedly.
"You okay?" I asked.
"No, I am not okay!" He exploded. "I'm a #$%ing MUTANT!"
"Douglas," I started, moving towards him.
"No, just go away! I don't need your help! Just leave me alone!" He yelled.
I gasped, and stumbled backward. It wasn't what he said that struck me, it was that Logan had said almost the exact same thing.
The last thing I saw was Douglas going griffin.
*Flashback*
"Okay, you go around the back, I'll follow you." Logan said.
I carefully made my way around the back of the compound.
"Sam, help!" Logan yelled.
Instantly I turned, and ran to him. He was pinned against the wall by a woman.
"Frost!" I hissed. It was Emma Frost, mutant, telepath, and villainess.
Emma grinned at me, then stared into Logan's eyes.
"No!" I yelled. Emma was such a strong telepath that she could change what people did, how they acted. She could turn Logan against me.
Emma let Logan go, and he glared at me, his eyes black, unsheathing his claws. "Sam…" He threatened.
Emma grinned manically, turned into crystal, and ran off.
"Logan, this isn't you! I can help you, I might be able to fix this, just calm down, and I can-"
"I don't need your help! Leave me alone!" Logan hissed.
"Logan, please!" I begged.
Logan stepped closer to me, raised one arm, and clawed at me. I dodged, but he nicked my arm.
"Logan, remember what you promised me?" I said, crying, "You said you'd never leave me."
He froze. "Sam…" He said, sheathing his claws, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Sam, I'm so sorry…" He pulled me to him, and held me. Then he stiffened. "Sam, I can't hold her off. Frost is going to take over, you have to run! I don't want to hurt you, Sam!" Logan cried.
"I won't leave you!" I said fiercely.
"Just go! I promise you, I'll come back!" He leaned down, and kissed me softly.
I was stunned. All the time I had known him, he had been my friend, my guardian, my brother almost. But I had never known that he had loved me. But I guess, in a way, I had. But now it was too late.
"Logan, I-" I couldn't get the words out.
"I know." He said. His eyes started to blacken. "Sam, you have to run. Run, and don't look back. I'll come back! Meet me at the school, just run!"
I ran.
He never came back.
