If your to lazy to read my last blog, here's what happened. My name is Tessa, I'm a mutant so is my twin Charolatte. We were sent to an Institute for 'Gifted Youngsters.' Char is crazy nervous, but I'm too tough to admit I am, too. So now we're pulling into a super-long drive way, if you want to call it that.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The entire stone castle was covered in vines. I was instantly relieved. It didn't look threatening, just, intimidating. I brushed my hair away from my face as wind blew it every which way relentlessly as we got out of the car. Char's breathing grew heavy. I tried to keep mine under control.
"Don't forget, if you look calm, no one else will know how you really feel." I tried to tell Charolatte. As it turns out, I was very wrong.
"Don't be nervous. It's nice to see you both again." It was the Professor. He had come to our house to observe our powers and ask our parents some questions. Neither of us knew what to say.
"Hellooo." Said Charolatte awkwardly.
"Hey." I mumbled. We were in his office, luggage in hand. Professor Xavier moved his chair around his desk with the small remote installed on the arm rest.
"Well. Lets see who we can bother to take your luggage upstairs." He said, nodding us out.
The front room wasn't very crowded, but I assumed everyone else was probably at the swimming pool, or any of the other crazy places the school offered.
The Professor looked around for a minuet. "Ah, just the man. He'll be coming through that door in a moment." I knew how he did that. He was a tellepath, which made him even more intimidating than he would have been anyway. Just then, his prediction came true, and oh. my. gawd.
I tried to look cool in sweatpants and Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie as he approached. He was older than me, I had no idea by how much. Younger than my father thank gawd, but old enough to look like he knew exactly what he was doing.
"Professor...excuse me." His eyes scoped Char and fell on me. For a split second he held my gaze, then turned his attention back to the Professor. "I need to talk to you. Kurt's flying lessons are-"
"Not important at the moment. This is Charolatte and Tessa Aro. They are new students here. Might I ask you to help them with their bags? Their in dorm 914." The Professor's beast. I thought to myself. This dude looked like he could rip him apart, and he still has full control.
Mystery Man looked at us again. "I'm Logan. " He stated simply.
"Hey." I said louder than I had wanted.
"Hi." Squeaked Char.
"You'll be sharing a dorm, if you don't mind. It's a bit small, but I'm sure you'll manage. I think you'll find you'll like it here. I'll see you at dinner. Logan." He nodded to us and headed back to his office.
Logan started to reach towards my huge-ish suitcase. I grabbed it before he could. That and my backpack was heavy, but I didn't want Mr. Muscle to think I was weak. He smiled to himself when Charolatte didn't make the same gesture. He just found out who the damsel was.
"You like it here?" I asked as we pushed out bags into the elevator.
"It's beneficial. Free food." I laughed nervously. I asked what I really wanted to know leaning against the wall of the elevator for support.
"So, what can you do." It was like he read my mind. Oh Gawd maybe he did.
"Ahhh..." I looked at Char. She nodded.
"Hey, if it's something you don't wanna do, don't do it." He said quickly.
"Are you kidding, I take any chance I can." I stated matter-of-factly.
"Do you really." He said sarcastically, just as the elevator doors slid open.
I stepped outside of it, dragging my luggage to the side.
"So. Any experiance with animals?" My body ripped into a guard dog, then a cheetah, and finally a tiger. I snarled menicingly.
"I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot more." He answered. Char laughed nervously. "And you?"
"I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot more. And you?" She stated simply.
"Not another one!" He sounded exhausted. I could see Charolatte's triumphant smile fade.
"Someone here has her power, too?" I asked. I didn't know that could happen.
"Not here. She's with Magneto."
"Okaaay. Who the f-ck is Magneto?" I asked.
"The bad guy." Logan said with a small smile. "But don't worry kid, she might have her money running for her."
That helped Char's pride a bit. "Can she morph into anyone?" Char asked jerkily.
"Yeah."
"Can she use their powers?" She was losing confidance as we approached dorm 914.
"No...I don't think so." He peered at her over her bag.
Charolatte's spirits lifted considerably after that. When she saw the dorm, her eyes lit up with decorating oppertunities. There were matresses on the bed and the small loft above it.
"There's no latter for the loft, we'll get you one before curfew." He told us.
"Don't bother." I dropped my luggage and backpack and was on the roomy loft in one bound.
"Hahaha. Your very impressive. I'll see you guys at dinner, if you wanna explore you can." He made a motion to leave.
"Byee!" I yelled after him.
"Your such a flirt." Said Char grumpily.
"Yup."
