Blood Lust

Ch5

After a few hours Autumn shot out of a dead sleep. With her eyes still glazed and her barings gone she didn't know where she was. She knew that the room she was in was not hers. From the end of the bed Sasha raised his head looking for the thing that had woken his mistress. When she had managed to calm her breath she realized where she was. She was safe in the institute. There were no monsters waiting to snatch her out of her hole and poke needles through her eyes and ask her what it was she saw. No people to cut out a piece of her brain at a time just to see what made her tick. Trying to see if they could unlock the beast. To make the perfect killing machine. To stop her heart just to see if it would start again.

For the moment she was completely safe. In a place that specialised in her unique problems. The scientist wanting the perfect killing machine had almost succeed. They had torn at her brain and weakened the cage that controled the monster. The one that screamed for blood, fear and death. The voice that over time she had managed to muffle but still in her heart of hearts it would call to her wanting to break free. Sometimes it won. Causing her to lose control washing the streets red with blood. Normally she could push it back. In extreme circumstances such as near death or severe blood lose she would have no choice but to surrender. The beast inside only wanted to survive.

Now that she had learned to muffle it's voice for the most part she felt safe around people. When she had first escaped she had been terrified of being near anything with a pulse. The sound of a heartbeat would cause her to go into a feeding frenzy. She wanted to taste the fear in their blood, the pain in their minds and smell the lust coming out of every pore. Now though she could control it. For the most part. She still had her slips but then again who didn't. Blood was her main food sorce. It just tasted better when fear or lust ran high. The adrenaline pumping just made it taste sweeter.

" Man I'm so hungry. Logan was just a snack. I need to eat soon or I wont be able to control it." she said aloud to herself. The beast hunger had woken her from a sound sleep yet again.

She paused in her rantings to listen. She could her a steady heartbeat close by that wasn't Sasha. It sang the blood pumping at a steady rate probobly sleeping. She could feel her skin start to crawl as the hunger built up. Her nose filled with the smell of cigarette smoke and ash. Remy. He was strong. Could probably heal from her feeding quicker than anyone else. Well besides Logan. Oh to taste the kinetic energy coursing through his blood. She licked her lips. Without realising it she rose from the bed and went to her balcony. Throwing open the doors she stepped out and felt the sun on her skin. A soothing sensation but it didn't stop her. The beast was in control now.

She walked to the edge of the railing closes to Remy's balcony and juumped up and over to his. With a slight twist of her wrist with extra strength she broke the lock silently. She walked on the floor directly to the bed. Seeing his sleeping form sprawled across the bed and knelt near a leg that was peeking out. She could hear the artery pulse but even in this state she knew the rules. Must ask before we eat. She couldn't resist a small taste though. Her tounge flicked out and sampled the skin feeling the tickling sensation of the energy dance across her tounge.

What she hadn't realized was that Remy had woken when she had broken the lock on the door. He had listened to her cross the room and had felt her breath on his leg. He had definitly felt her lick up his leg. That was all he could take before he let her know that he was awake.

" Chere why you be lickin' this he boy?" Remy squeaked as he tried to jump without losing the sheet.

" I'm so hungry Remy. Please let me feed. I ask because it is polite but I will take if you deny me." she said in a voice that didn't sound right.

Remy sat up and looked at her. She had changed her hair whipped around behind her, her skin glowed and her eyes were bright red. But what shocked him was that even though her fangs had grown over her bottom lip. She was so still seductively beautiful. She change hadn't distracted from her beauty but had enhanced it. She moved like a big cat stalking it's prey.

" Chere you okay? Do I need to get Logan to feed you?"

" Don't want the beast. Want you only you." she said without a lisp around those long fangs.

" Will you be able to stop yourself before you kill me?"

" Yes."

Instead of answering Remy just sat up in a comfortable position and tilted his head. Offering up his vein to a hungry vampire mutant. She moved to better acceess his neck. She straddled his lap and locked her legs around his hips to keep him still. She ran her nose along his neck and licked the vein bringing it to the surface. Remy felt her teeth scratch at his neck and flinched.

" Don't move. You fight me. I will kill you."

Remy locked his hands on her hips to resist the urge to fight as she once again brought her mouth to his neck. When he felt her lips on his pulse he stiffened. What she did next was unexpected but pleasant. With his vein in her mouth she hummed. It sounded like a lullaby. It seemed to calm the urge to fight even more right before her sharp fangs pierced the artery. He felt the inital pain and then his body was flooded with pleasure.

The pleasure consumed him. Making him arch his hips. His pulse sped up and the blood rushed faster through his veins. His heart was beating so fast it felt like he was running a merathon. HIs hands clutched her hips tighter digging in his nails. He heard her moan. It was a moan of pleasure. Without realizing it his hands had slide under her top to clench as bare skin. It only caused the sensations to become more intense. The pleasure overroad everything else. They didn't notice when the door to Remy's room shoot open. Or the group of teachers all staring at the sight they made. Only Logan and Rogue knew what was going on.

Charles tried to enter one of their minds to stop it but was throuwn out even harder than before. Remy's kinetic sheilds were up more than usual. All his kinetic energy was up almost to a dangerous level. While the teachers gathered in the doorway watched the saw the magenta from Remy's powers flow across the room. Everything started to glow in the bright color making the teachers have to shield their eyes. Rogue realizing what was going on ran up to seperate the two. Unfortunetly when she put her hand on Autumn she hadn't made sure that her wrist ws covered. When she grabbed her shoulder her skin made contact with Autumn.

The effect was fast and would have been deadly had Logan not stoped her in her track. As the others watched her eyes bled red and her incisors grew til they appeared to be the fangs of a vampire. She turned and latched onto Logan's pulse point sending out waves of arousal to everyone in the room. The shocking thing was that while she was feeding from Logan she didn't absorb him. The spider webs that normally appeared didn't appear across his skin. There was a problem though. When she absorbed Autumn it didn't weaken her or make her let go of Remy. They were still rocking against each other.

Storm did the only thing she could think of. SHe shot a lightning bolt at the two couples causing them to seperate. Logan and Rogue split first. Rogue was knocked across the bed landing on the floor on the otherside. Logan was jut knocked down he seemed to be in a daze. Autumn had detached from Remy but was steadly licking the blood from around her mouth. When she opened her eyes the were like Remy red on black and they were glowing as they saw the magenta fade back into her body.


Remy on the other hand didn't look to well. HE had fallen back on the bed when Autumn had released him. He was a little pale but was still breathing all be it rather ragedly. His eyes were glazed over and he had a stupid grin on his face but all in all he looked like he would survive. Charles was concerned about what had happened. He still didn't know what Autumn's mutation was. He grew more concerned when he looked back at the bed and Autumn was attached to Remy's neck again. His breathing became erratic again. They thought she had started to feed again. Storm was about to shoot another lightning bolt at her to protect her friend from the blood crazed mutant. Just as she was about to release the bolt Autmn pulled back and they saw that she had cleaned the little bit of blood around his neck.

Charles wheeled in closer to get a better look and was suprised to see that Remy's neck was almost completely healed. As he watched Autumn bit the tip of her finger causing it to bleed steadly and placed it in Remy's open mouth. WIthin a few seconds Remy's color was back to normal and his breathing pattern stabilized. Autumn turned to the Professor and bowed her head in apology.

" I know what this may look like but I asked him before I fed. I gave him the choice of saying no. I didn't just rip into him to satisfy my own hunger. I'm sorry that you had to witness that."

" It's alright. But we might need to discuss the full extent of your powers sooner reather than later."

From the bed and next to it groans could be heard. Logan sat up rubbing his neck while Rogue sat up far more cautiously. Her features were back to normal at least. When she was steady she stood and walked over to Logan and started to apologise. Logan stopped her before she could get more than his name out.

" Rogue it wasn't your fault. I'm not hurt and there is not lasting damage. So stop apologising. Okay."

Rogue just put her head down in silent apology. She then looked at Autumn. She was amazed that she hadn't done more damage to Logan when she fed. Her mutation hadn't kicked in at all. She was wondering if was going to be perment but she didn't want to test it just yet. When she looked at the woman again she saw how torn up she looked. She also noticed that her skin was flushed a healthy color. She didn't look deathly pale anymore. She looked to be a healthy pink.

" Autumn your skin!" Rogue didn't get a chance to finish her statement before she was off the bed and standing in front of the mirror. They hadn't even seen her move.

Autumn stared at her self in the mirror looking at her skin from all angles.

" I'm pink. I can't believe it." she squealed.


At her squeal Remy sat up and looked around trying to find her. When he saw her he smiled. Not realising that there were other people in the room he wrapped the sheet around his waist and walked to the mirror. Everyone else was shocked. Remy wouldn't have walked across the room dressed only in a sheet if he had known they were there. All his attention seemed to be on reaching Autumn.

" What has you so excited chere?"

" My skin and eyes. Their normal. My skin is pink and my eyes are a normal shade of light blue instead of the icy blue."

Storm broke the moment by clearing her throat to catch their attention. Both of their heads snapped around to realise there were other people in the room with them. Remy quickly ran to the ensuite and slammed the door shut. Autumn just kept smiling bouncing on the balls of her feet. Excited over her new appearence. Then she realised that she didn't feel hungry. Anytime she had fed in the past ahe was still hungry after. Even when she had drained a person dry. This caused her to stumble almost falling on her ass.

" I...I'm full!!! Oh my god!!!. I can't believe it!!!!" she screamed with joy.

Sasha ran into the room. He had felt his mistress' excitement and came running. He was bouncing around her. Standing on his hind legs to lick her face. She ran out of the room closely followed by the rest of the staff. They watched in amazement as she lept over the banister landing feet first without a sound two stories bellow. She whistled and Sasha lept over the banister and into his mistress' arms. That show of trust from a timber wolf was unheard of. They watched as they raced each other to the door and bolted out and around to the back of the mansion. The staff heard her cries of joy through Remy's still open balcony .

They watched as she and her wolf ran through the yard jumping over anything and everything. Until finally she and the wolf just plopped down on the ground and welcomed the last of the suns warm ray as it set off in the distance. Not long after they had layed down in the fading sun the door to Remy's ensuite reopened and out walked a fully clothed Remy. He looked around quickly then cocked his head to the side. Through the doors to the balcony the team heard her voice singing.

They could make out the words of her song but none of them recognised it. She was singing the sun to sleep and calling for the moon to rise. When they looked into the distance they saw the full moon rising in the East. They all felt a certain calm begin to settle on them as her song continued calling to all the starcrossed lovers in the night sky. Her song was relaxing as if all their troubles were melting away with each soulfull word. While they were caught up in the song they suddenly heard Remy's voice join hers but in French.

As they looked on they saw Remy leap from the balcony to the drain and slide down so that he could join her on the lawn. As they sang togeather they began to switch languages. He switched to English while she to French. They tought that the song might be from France but they weren't sure. Soon enought they saw some of the children begin to pour out of the mansion and onto the lawn. They all sat in little packs. Some of the braver children joined in the singing. The mass of harmony was more calming than anything. Logan with Rogue on his back jumped down to the ground and went to join the little pack of Autumn, Remy and Sasha who was also singing to the moon.

Hank was noticing that the beast in him was calm. Calmer than it had ever been since it manifested years ago. Without him realising it he was called to the group all singing to the moon and stars on the lawn. Charles and Stormed looked at each other with the same thought going through their minds if you can't beat 'em join 'em. Storm grabbed the back of his chair and called the winds to lift them up and over the railing setting them both on the ground gently. When they reached the little groups they could feel the calm overcome them.

While all the residents of the mansion sat on the lawn singing only three felt the presence of another that didn't belong. Autumn and Logan looked at each other and nodded but dicided not to disrupt the group. Sasha lay with his head in his mistresses lap and soaked up the feeling of the pack that he had missed. The unwelcomed visiter was forgotten for the moment as she didn't pose a threat. As the night wore on some of the students went back into bed finding restful sleep easier than ever before. Others stayed on the lawn only going into grab a pillow and a blanket.

Logan even fell asleep Rogue wrapped in his arms. No memories of the past intruded into his dreams. Remy left for a minute of retrieve a couple of pillows and the blanket from his bed. Snuggling with Autumn under the stars seemed to banish the past and let him be at peace without his family. Autumn and Sasha stayed awake keeping guard over the people on the lawn. Both night creatures at peace with their new home and had hope for the future.
