So, chapter 17... Thank you to the ones still reading, that means a lot, and don't worry, there aren't to much chapters left.
In this one we'll lean more about the red head, and even find out exactly why she happened to be there when mostly needed...

I don't own X-men... Wish i did...


"Please don't just stand there, help me! He's badly hurt, and I don't know what do!"

I was crying my eyes out, and a weird feeling kept evolving in my chest. I was scared, even more scared than usually. He was still breathing, and his eyes weren't closed, but he was in pain, and it was almost too much to bear. I kept yelling at the poor girl, but somehow, she didn't seem to get mad or even scared at me, she just stood there, looking at all the damn blood that covered both me and him. It was then I realized that I was bleeding too (but not as much as him, thank god for that) my neck was dripping, so it had to be the knife he held in front of me, that I didn't manage to phase away from perfectly. I took my free hand and tried to cover it without letting go of the wound of his that I still had a hand on. I started to feel a little queasy again, but did my best to hide it. Then, it suddenly felt like the world started to spin around,
making me dizzier and dizzier. I felt my hard pounding faster and faster, as adrenaline filled my veins. I then started to panic even more, as it now started to hurt like hell too. Then I looked back at my other hand, and to make it all even worse, the wound that I thought had stopped bleeding, now was bleeding even more. It was one hell of a chaos!

The red head finally stepped away from the doorstep and sat down beside me. She couldn't be much more than ten years old. She looked me deeply in the eyes, and two warmly brown eyes somehow made me feel a bit of safeness by her present. She calmly told me to let go of my bleeding throat, and so I did, without any struggle at all. She let a hand on the wound, and after just about half a minute, the pain stopped, and my blurred sight went back to normal. She led go, and I led a hand over my throat again,
only to be very surprised. The wound was still there, but the blood was coagulated. She somehow healed it.
After that she went to Kurt, removed my sleeve, and led her own hand on him. It took some minutes before she removed her hand, but when she did, his wound was half healed too. He then closed his eyes, and most possible just felt asleep. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was just too crazy. I looked at her in awe, and then she finally opened her mouth, and spoke…

"Who are you guys? I don't think I have ever seen you around before. Are you the ones from Italy?"

"Why, what have you heard? What do you want? Who the hell are you?!"

"The name's Tinka, and I'm a mutant. I live with my granddad not long from here. Now, you two are mutants right? Or was it gypsies' maybe?"

"Please don't call me that, will you, I'm sick and tired of being called that! I may have been growing up in a circus, and I may or may not steal from time to time, but I still don't like it, I do it to survive! And please don't call me a witch either. My name's Katherine, but you can call me Kitty. The boy you just saved, his name's Kurt. We have been traveling for a long time now, and really needs a place to stay for the night. Do you maybe know a place?" I let a hand on the now sleeping boys chin and kindly stroked it. She then took out a phone from her pocket…

"I'll call my grandpa and tell him I found you. He's already down there waiting however, but he has to know you're both save, and that I'm safe. Your friend might need some extra help, as I only stop bleedings and cleans the wounds, I'm not a miracle worker."

She then got up, and started a conversation with the man on the phone. I however, just kept stoking Kurt's chin, leaving small kisses on it. I wasn't sure why I did it, I just couldn't stop myself. I was just happy I guess, very, very happy as we once again had luck on our side, or kinda had. I then took a hold on his tail, and started to stroke that too. It was just like, so soft and fuzzy you know. I started to play around with the end of the tail, which apparently made him shiver a bit. I led go as soon as I realized he was shaking, and just sat there all awkward for the next minutes time. The girl then came back, and asked me to help caring him down the stairs. At first I didn't realize we were all up on fourth floor, and the way down felt like forever, but it gave me the opportunity to ask her some more questions…

"Please tell me, why were you even here? Did you know one of the guys?"

"Yes I… I kinda… I owe them some money, a lot of money actually, and if I don't give it all back, then they will kill someone that stands me near. I know, cause it has already happened once. It maybe sounds weird, but it's true. At first I didn't believe them, and therefore didn't give them any money, which I highly regret now. My…... My parents got killed by those guys a year ago, which happened a short time after getting here to New York. Since then I have been coming here every once a month, giving whatever little bit of cash I got, hoping they wouldn't do me any harm. Now I live with my granddad in a little house... I can't believe I just told you all this but, you seems like someone who can keep it all a secret."

We got down, I met her granddad whose name was Dainan, who sat in the front. We got inside the car, and Mr. Dainan warmly welcomed me, and gave me a blanket. It was a little awkward, but whatever. I got told that they all came from Australia. (Seems like me and elf wasn't the only ones who gets around)

When we arrived, Mr. Dainan (I didn't know their last name, and for some reason I didn't ask about it) carried Kurt inside, then let him on a mattress. He then found some weird herpes from a drawer, and started spreading it all over his shoulder. After that he did the same to the cut on my throat. I thanked him for helping us, and then went with Tinka upstairs to a guest room. When we entered the room I sat down on the bed beside a Koala named Nerida, who apparently was hers, and asked where Kurt had to sleep…

"He will have to sleep in here with you, as the other guest room already is occupied. Hope that's alright…"

"Sure but, who's in possession of it?" I asked much too curious.

"Another mutant girl we found close to the shores not long ago, she was very sick, but are now almost healed. She hasn't told me her name yet, but it was her who told me about you two, and that you were in danger. You know, it isn't just that five guys you fought that are making trouble, they are a part of a gang. They call themselves the mutant hunters…. Now, take a shower, and I'll find something for you to wear that aren't all… Bloody."
