Be There When I Need You

CHAPTER SIX: NEGOTIATIONS

  "YOU!" I snarled, lunging forward. She simply waved her hand and tried to throw me to the side, but I was stronger then that. I turned my hand to the side, making a squeezing motion. She struggled in the air, kicking her heeled shoes back and forth. "You can't just walk into my life again! not after abandoning me as a child!"

I couldn't get over her eyes. They looked exactly like Maleficents, a mixture of several different colors. My biological mother was only a class below me in the mutant world. Quite frankly, she didn't deserve to live. "L-Let me e-explain!" She hissed, baring her fangs. My mother was the worldly demon all other mutants feared. She literally based her image off of Maleficent herself. {AN: I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND I WANT HER MOTHER TO BASICALLY BE MALEFICENTS DOPPLE GANGER. I'M SORRY}

I threw her against the door, touching my fingers to my temples and concentrating. "Gabrielle, my mother is back and she's in the training room. Logan is unconscious. Send help."

I watched as I threw her against the door, and she simply stood back up. "I'm not in the mood to listen to negotiations. You left my life a long time ago for your job and left me with the monster you called a husband. I'll never forgive you for that. Ever. Get out of my life!" Logan behind me, slowly stood up and I heard the unsheathing of metal. "Logan, NO!"

"Hold it," A voice said. I looked up as my feet slowly lifted off the ground to see Victor grabbing my mother. "Maam, she is useful. Don't kill her. Or him. Besides he can't die anyway." I cringed, realizing what was going on. They were allies. I whipped around, seeing Logan staring up at me with hatred in his eyes.

I'm coming with Storm.

I simply nodded, crossing my arms. I stared back at my mother, feeling my eyes change color. That was the other power I had. Whenever I got really really angry, I was able to do the exact same thing she does but with ten times more powerful. I also had the effect of singing and making people sleep for however long I really wanted.

My mother stared at me as I walked forward. Whenever I was using my mutant powers, I looked exactly like she did. It was freaky. Logan and Victor watched as I slashed my nails across her cheeks and left 6 red lines total. "Get away from me." I snarled, sending her out of the room. Victor followed suit, leaving Logan and I alone in the same room.

"Your mother reminds me of Maleficent." I facepalmed, turning to him and smacking his arm. "I'm serious!"

"She bases her image off of Maleficent, you idiot!" I snapped, chuckling. "She's going to come back at some point. We need to be on guard." He wrapped his arms around me, pressing his nose into my neck. "She doesn't scare me Logan. I'm more powerful then her."

"Your powers combined could literally be a class 10." I seriously doubted that, I in all my mutant years had only heard of one mutant who'd been a class 10. And she hadn't survived till thirty years old. I rolled my eyes, walking out of the hall way and right into Gabrielle. "Well hello to you to!"

"I literally ran here," She had a long red line across her cheek and she was frowning. "You've gotta see this." She drug me through the halls, my eyes getting wider with every wing we went through.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was doors off of the hinges, drops of blood spattered all over the place, unconscious students slumped against walls. "Gab, go with Logan. I'll keep inspecting this."

I turned to Logan, smiling. "Why can't I go with you-" I pulled him to me, kissing him softly. "Okay, I'll see you later."

I kept walking through the halls alone until one of the younger students came running up to me. "Miss James!" She exclaimed. "Rogue and Bobby are gone!"
