X-Men Everlasting-Break Out

"Peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, lettuce, mayo, tomatos...anything else?" Jean asked curiously, looking at my sandwhich as if it was strange, I shook my head slowly, not remembering anything else daddy had placed on his special sandwhichs.

She passed the sandwhich to me and I devoured it as quickly as I could, all the flavors blending together. I hadn't noticed how hungry I was in the last few days. As I licked the peanut butter from my fingers a little boy walked into the kitchen.

"Mrs. Summers can I..oh-" He said looking at me and flinching, looking me up and down, I knew that look, the look before someone said something about my fur or hair or tail.

"Don't bother, i've heard the insults before" I grumbled turning my back to him. Jean sighed.

"Ben this is Naomi, Naomi, Ben, now Benny what do yah need?" Jean asked the little boy, I turned to look at him again, his brown hair was thick and flopped over his head a bit, green eyes wide.

"Um, I was wondering if I could go outside? Bell is out there," Ben said looking up at Jean with wide eyes. Jeans eyes narrowed.

"Bellsaria!" She growled "It just got done raining!" Jean stalked from the kitchen and Ben looked after her, a bit ticked off. I turned back to the table, finishing the last of the peanut butter on my fingers.

"Um, Naomi?" Ben  asked and I turned to look at him, ready for him to say something...provacative. "Um...Do you wanna...have some fun?" He asked

"What kind of fun?" I asked warily and Bens face broke out in a smile, one that made my blood go cold and my spikes stick up.


It was one fifty three in the morning acoording to the alarm clock beside my bed.  My heart thumped in my chest, scared, but if I didn't do this, the others might pick on me, I didn't think I could handle that anymore.

I shivered thinking about the last school, they had called me thorny or porcupine and threw mashed potatos at me, I didn't want that anymore.

Slowly I got up and set me feet on the floor keeping my tail up as I shifted my weight onto my feet and carefully walked to my door.

Ben had said I had to very extra quiet because Logan wasn't in a great mood when he was woken up in the middle of the night by kids. I had to wonder, was he ever in a great mood?

Carefully I opened the door and crept out of the hallway looking around and not seeing anyone. I crept allong the hall to the staircase. What had Ben said about the stairs? Step on them, dont step on them...? I didn't remember so instead I took a small risk of falling.

I climbed onto the banister and inched myself downward, little by little until I got to the bottom, foucusing on being silent and keeping my tail up.

Thats when I heard a noise, a creek on the stairs. Logan walked downstairs, I couldn't tell if he was asleep or not, he looked halfway between both.

I didn't squeek a sound I barley even dare to breath, holding my breath as long as I could before I slowly let it out and took another.

Logan walked off toward the kitchen, after a moment a sharp light flooded inot the living room from the kitchen, indicating he had opened the fridge.

After a moment of rustleing around in the fridge he found what he wanted and the light from the refridgerator faded out, leaveing dark spots to dance in front of my eyes. I wanted to swat at them but he'd hear me.

I heard Logan walk back to the staircase and I swear my heart stopped beating when he took a good long breath through his nose. I'm so Dead, I thought trembleing lightly.
What would daddy say when he figured out I was trying to sneak out? Could I make up an excuse? Why I was hanging onto the banister at two in the morning?

My mind raced searching for a decent excuse, any excuse that would make it so daddy wasn't dissapointed and I didn't get caught.

Logan grunted and I heard the sound of air pressure being released, as if a soda was opening up, before he trudged upstairs half asleep.

As soon as I heard his door shut I sighed letting myself thud to the floor, not the best idea, but at least on the floor the blood wasn't rushing to my brain.

After the longest five minutes of my life, I got up and shuffled silently to the front doors, gingerly I opened them and stood out on the porch, waiting.

After what seemed like forever, I turned to go back inside, I was tired and it was really cold outside.

Ben clamped his hand over my mouth as I screamed, surprised that he was behind me.

'Shh' he mouthed and I nodded, he released me and I made a face, suggesting he had scared the liveing daylights out of me. He chuckled faintly and at the soft beating of wings together we looked upward. A little girl, with snowy white wings landed in front of us.

I bet my whole allowance that my eyes were bigger then dinner plates.

"Naomi, Lily, Lily this is Naomi" Ben introduced us, Lily hugged me quickly, her short blonde curls bounceing around her pretty pixie like face. Bright blue eyes wide, she seemed energetic and ready to do almost anything.

"Ready for this?" Ben asked looking at both of us I felt Lily grasp at my hand, fear suddenly in her eyes. I was scared two. What if we got caugth? We'd be in so much trouble.

Then I remembered the last school I went to. Thorny. Porcupine. The potatos.

"Yeah, im ready" I told him and slowly Lily nodded beside me.

"Then lets go" Ben said smileing a crooked smile, one that made my blood as cold as ice.
