Day 5: I feel trapped

At the camp 09:00am

They were gathered together to hear the morning report, as they did every morning…

"Everybody listen! According to Rogue, we got yet another visit last night. This, who knows what, apparently want us to leave immediately. Now, this might mean it's hiding something important from us, and we can either ignore this, or we can chose to explore it further." Scott stated.

"So what, you want us to go take another trip into the unknown, and risk getting killed?" Bobby asked with a nervous giggle.

"No, no one's gonna die. Yes we do have some injured team members, but did anyone expect any less? We're in the wilderness people, nothings gonna be easy. We've managed to gather both food and water, and though shelter is limited, we'll manage, but someone out there might be in danger, and we aren't gonna turn our backs and ignore this." Scott stated. "Now for today's mission: Our mysterious guest must be found. We don't know if the thing's dangerous, so I trust you all to be extremely careful.

I believe you all remember your groups from yesterday's journey. Ray aren't healed enough to anticipate, so Jubilee has volunteered to stay behind. Now this means two of the groups will be a man down.
I have therefore decided to temporary include Evan on Bobby's team, and Jean on Tabby's.

Any questions before we split up?"

"Yeah, how are we gonna communicate?" Tabby asked.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Think fast!" He yelled, as he threw a walkie talkie at Tabby.

"But you told me we only got one!" Kurt said surprised.

"Well, I lied. Now spread out, we'll meet up at sunset."

In the middle of nowhere 13:25pm

"This is stupid. We've been walking in circles for what, ten hours or something, without finding anything!" Bobby complained while shuffling his feet. He was getting bored, and the heat was unbearable.

"We've only been hiking for just about four hours, and we aren't going in circles." Amara claimed, ignoring Bobby as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Well, then it's been the longest four hours of my life! Are we there yet, wherever that is?" He asked, ready to be annoying just for the pleasure of entertainment.

"I don't know. Is a bunker the right answer, because I think we just found one." Evan announced. Bobby's eyes went huge at the mention of their newest discovery, and suddenly he wasn't all that bored anymore…

It was a small bunker with nothing more than four brick walls and a door. It looked like something taken strait out of a horror movie, but that only left Bobby even more overwhelmed, followed by a mildly excited Evan, while Amara and Roberto failed to see anything interesting about it.

"Hey, we should go inside, there might be a hidden artefact or something! And you know, the older it is, the more money I'll get by selling it!" He claimed, as he tried to open the heavy door.

"Hey man, no fair you get all the money, I want my fair share too!" Evan grumbled excitedly, while trying to help getting the door open.

"Not to disappoint you two, but I don't think there's anything interesting for you in there." Rob stated.

"Come on, don't you guys see the adventure in front of you? Maybe there's a secret lair or something! Rob, help us open this damn door!" Bobby yelled, still fighting to open it.

"Fine, step aside…" Rob then pulled with all his strength, and before you knew it, all four of them found themselves inside. It was a dark, small room, with nothing particular interesting in it. The air seemed moist, there smelled like rotten eggs, and no artefact, or any kind of treasure awaited them, but nonetheless they went in, and regretted it seconds later, as the door slammed behind them.

"Oh heck no, it's way too dark in here! We have to get out!" Amara panicked, as she couldn't seem to open the door.

"Hey don't worry, we still got Rob, and he'll get us out of here in a matter of seconds. Right Rob?" Evan waited for an answer that never came…

…

"Rob?"

Nope, no answer…

"… Okay, so he won't get us out, no reason to panic though, we still got the walkie talkie…" Bobby stated, getting nervous, while Amara touched Bobby's face with her hands as if being blinded, which she kinda was. At least temporary.

"Do you think something happened to Rob since he isn't responding?!" Amara asked, while Bobby fidget with their only chance to communicate. She couldn't even illuminate the room using her powers, since there were too cold. It was in a matter of fact really cold in there all of a sudden.

"I don't know if anything happened, I can't see anything you know, and this stupid thing won't work in here! Help! Anybody out there? Help us!" He yelled while knocking hardly on the door, followed by Amara, who did the same...

At somewhere else 13:30pm

"And just as I thought we wouldn't do anything fun today! Now who's gonna go first?" Tabby asked. Her, Sam, Rahne, and Jean were standing right at the opening of a cave.

"I'm not sure it's a good idea Tabby, we don't know what's in there." Rahne stated.

"She's right, it might be safer to skip the cave." Jean agreed.

"No way guys, this is awesome! And Scott told us to look everywhere! Who knows, the thing we're looking for might be down there! I'll go first!" Tabby chuckled excitedly, bolting into the big, dark cave.

"Hey wait! I'll come with you!" Sam yelled as he ran after her. Rahne and Jean looked at each other for a second, before they too ran inside…

…

"This is so cool…" Tabby admired, while walking further and further inside.

"Yeah it's cool and all, but it smells funny." Rahne replied, looking at the dripping stalactites.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Sam admitted, looking around as a scared dog "Maybe we should head back while we still have the chance."

"No way, we have to see it all! Who knows, there might be a – AHHH!" Tabby screamed, as she felt through a hole in the ground.

"TABBY!" Sam, Rahne and Jean yelled, just before they felt too… and kept falling until…

… SPLASH!

There had apparently been a lake underneath them. A lake they now found themselves in.

They rushed out of the cold water, not in the mood for an ice cold bath at that moment…

"Oh great, now we're cold, wet and lost. I knew this was a bad idea!" Rahne complained, as she shook herself dry. She could suddenly smell the weird odor again, and began to investigate.

"Well, at least none of us got hurt. It was a pretty long fall after all." Jean stated, while looking around.

"But how are we gonna get out?" Tabby asked. feeling lost.

"I could cannonball myself out, then go get help!" Sam replied, as he took off. It seemed like a good idea at first, and he was getting close to the top, but then the hole somehow closed itself, making Sam bang his head on the stone. The hit was hard enough to leave him unconscious, making him to fall down the lake for the second time. He wasn't in there for long though, since Jean used her telekinesis to pick him up.

"Great, now what?" Tabby asked, looking at the unconscious boy.

"I might have found another pass way, but it smells weird in there, almost like it did up top, just with a heavier odor." Rahne admitted, felling uneasy with the unknown area and new smells.

"It's not like we have any other choice, do we?" Tabby asked, not waiting a response. Jean picked up Sam, and then they followed Rahne…

In the middle of who knows where 14:00pm

"So, I'm like, getting tired of this, can't we take a break?" Kitty asked, as she leaned against a tree.

"No, we aren't stopping, I have a feeling we're close." Rogue insisted, listening closely.

"Why, all I ask for is a minute to catch my breath-"

"I SAID NO!" Rogue yelled, as she continued walking.

"Well excuse me…"

"Don't take it personally Keety, Rogue haven't been herself since the day we got here." Kurt told her, while munching a banana.

"How come?" She asked back.

"Because of the things she's experiencing, and I don't blame her, there's something strange going on…"

"Quiet, I think I heard something!" Rogue whispered, then stopped up to listen more closely.

"Yeah right, you heard somet-" Before she managed to finish her sentence, a sudden fierce breeze stormed right between both Kitty and Kurt, only leaving the sound of rushing air and… panting? And the only clue it leaved behind, was a missing banana.

"There it was, get it!" Rogue yelled surprised.

"How?!" Both Yelled back. It was obviously gone as fast as it came,

"I… I don't know!" She admitted.

Scott had leaved them only five minutes ago. He hadn't been able to contact the others, and therefore decided to go look for them. His timing hadn't been great though, as the thing apparently decided to show up in his absence.

"I seriously don't know, but we somehow just have to… If we could just make it stop somehow… Wait, it took your banana right? So it have to be the same thing that attacked our food storage! It might be able to catch if we lures it with food! Come on you two, I might have got an idea!" Rogue whispered to make sure no one else heard her. They then headed back to the camp to gather anything eatable.

…

Some time and a lot of fruits later…

"And you're sure this is gonna work?" Kitty asked, already doubting the idea.

"No, but it's either that or nothing at all." She admitted, kinda doubting it herself. The plan was simple: make a tree Spring Trap strong enough for, well, hopefully anything, let out food as bait, and wait.

And wait… And wait some more… Which they did… In a bush… Until the boredom took over.

"This is seriously boring, nothings gonna happen anyway!" Kitty exclaimed, getting tired of sitting in a stupid bush, waiting for something that probably wouldn't happen anyway.

"Stay quiet or you'll ruin it! Rogue whispered, as she kept her eyes on the trap, almost without blinking.

"I kinda agree with Keety on this. Who in the world would be stupid enough to go right into an obvious trap?" Kurt asked, for then straight afterwards hearing the sound of rushing air, and a loud snap, followed by a clear gasp of surprise.

"I guess you just got your question answered. Stay here." Rogue ordered, as she stood up, and ran towards the trap. The sight somehow managed to surprise her, as a young girl with long, ombre red hair and blonde tips, freckles on the nose, legs and arms, and then heterochromia, leaving her left eye amber, and right eye emerald, hang upside down, as her feet were tightly bound. She was wearing a dark green t-shirt, brown shorts, brown military boots and Black Hand wrap. Besides all that, she were wearing aviator goggles on the top of her head.

"Okay so you managed to catch me, congrats to you. Now I would highly appreciate it, if you would just cut me down!" She complained, crossing her arms as she did so.

"W-who are you?" Rogue asked, feeling a bit bad for trapping a girl who couldn't be much younger than herself.

"I can't tell you, you're a stranger, even though I've seen you around a lot lately." She exclaimed, looking Rogue right in the eyes, as she walked closer.

"Are you the one who came to me last night?" She asked carefully.

"Maybe, maybe not. Now get me down!" The girl was getting tired of hanging from a tree. It was humiliating enough to walk right into the trap in the first place.

"You aren't getting down before I get some answers, and trust me, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way, but no matter what, I'll still get what I want." Rogue stated, as she took of a glove. The girl clearly didn't understand what she meant by taking of a glove, but then again, she didn't really want to.

"Okay now, don't do something you might regret. Yes, I'm the one who came to you last night, and I meant what I said, you shouldn't be here, it's not safe. Now let me go!" She yelled, as she started to swing back and forth.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, cause then you would run off again." Rogue stated, crossing her arms as she walked around the helpless victim.

"What, nooo, what makes you think that? It's not like you just hang me up like a piñata. Now where's the bat? You forgot to take it with you?" She asked, trying to talk herself out of the embarrassing situation. She was now trying to unknot the rope on her feets with her bare hands. She wasn't succeeding.

"Is that a knife in your belt?" Rogue asked startled.

"Yeah, it is. I'm surprised you aren't having one, wait, of cause, I got the machete!"

"Yeah, you did, now it's mine." Rogue replied, standing with the long knife in her hand.

"Bummer! How could I be that slow? Stupid, I'm stupid!" She yelled at herself, clearly underwhelmed.

"This is getting boring you know. Hey, here's an idea. You cut me loose, and then we could go grab something to eat, I'm kinda starving!" She admitted, clenching her stomach.

"Oh, so you're hungry? Well then I guess I'll give you something eatable, but first you have to answer the questions! Now first of all, what's your name?" Rogue ordered, now standing right in front of her.

*Sigh* "The names Raegan Colleen Tadita Maicey." She had finally given up in hiding her identity.

"And how old are you?"

"I'm fifteen."

"Good. Now Raegan, are you by any luck a mutant?"

"Yes. I'm a mutant. There, answers answered. Could you let me go now please, all the blood kinda flows to my head, and it aren't enjoyable."

"Yeah sure, I'll let you down from there, but I'm afraid I can't let you go just yet. Kurt, Kitty, emerge." They slowly stepped forward, rope in hand, as they tired her hands up, before cutting her down. She landed on the ground with a loud bump, for after that being picked up by Kitty at the feet, and Kurt at the hands.

"Great, now I'm a hostage? Is that what I get for saving you from a Jaguar? You could at least show just a tiny bit of respect. And where's the food you promised?" The lousy way they treated her was frustrating, but then again, she could always just escape, it was her alone who chose not to. Nothing had ever been able to hold her back, especially not some weak ropes, and even though her plan 'A' of scaring them away hadn't been a success, she still got plan 'B': Gain there trust, and they might be able to help instead…

And the OC is now released. What do you think? Was the chapter exiting? Was the OC interesting at all? Would you like to see the OC in Sims version, or are you fine with the way I described her? Leave a review and tell me what you think. Something in particular you want to happen for any of the teams? I myself knows where this story is going, but if you're having something on your mind, tell me, and I might consider it ;)
