Sorry for the long update wait. Hope you enjoy!
I woke up gasping. I was going back. I was going to see Da- the Professor again. I got out of bed, and walked outside.
"Hey, Sam." A voice said.
I turned to see Douglas sitting on the roof.
"How'd you get up-" I started, then laughed. "I keep forgetting you have wings."
Douglas smiled, and morphed into Griffin. He flew down beside me, and as he landed, his wingtip brushed my arm.
I flinched, and pulled away.
"Sam, are you alright?" Douglas asked.
I nodded, but I wasn't. You see, I still had the scars from three years ago. Logan had clawed my arm, and I was too distracted to notice. So, a few days later, I realized that I had three long gashes on my arm. I healed, but I was left with the scars.
Douglas looked at my arm. "Where'd you get those scars?"
"Accident." I said, turning away.
"You said you'd explain everything in the morning." Douglas reminded me.
I sighed. "Okay." I sat down. What should I tell him?
"Start at the beginning." Douglas said.
"Okay, that works." I said, "It all started with a boy, Charles Xavier."
Douglas's POV:
I listened as she described Charles, Scott, Storm, Kurt, all the X-men. She explained about Magneto. Then she paused.
"And here's the problem. Magneto is fighting us. He's our enemy. He, Mystique, and some others are out there somewhere, and if they find us, they will capture, attack, and maybe even kill us." Sam said softly. "So we have to be careful."
I nodded. "But why do you have flashbacks? What was so terrible you can't forget it?"
Sam looked away.
Kurt came out of the cabin. "Sam, Douglas, we're leaving now. We might be able to make it to the school by dark."
Storm took his hand, Sam took hers, and I took Sam's.
As we teleported, I began to suspect the Kurt's arrival hadn't been chance. Sam was hiding something, but what?
Sam's pov:
I hated lying to him. But if I told him the truth… I guess it could turn out okay, but everything was going so well! He was accepting what he was, and I didn't want to spoil that. So I said nothing.
Sorry it's so short, now that school's started, I don't have a lot of time to update. Please, PLEASE review. I know you're reading this, so just click that nice little 'review' button down there.
