<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">Elianna made her way to the two mutants now standing up. Jean held the trapped snake in one hand, and ushered Holly towards the school with the other. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">As the alarm continued to sound the students were told to stay in the school as the X-Men poored out of the front doors. But you could see the faces of the children peering eagerly out of windows to catch a glimpse of whatever was going down. The X-Men stopped beside Jean and Holly, who still hadn't moved.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">Elianna stopped a few feet away from the line of Xavier's mutants. “I just want her,” She pointed at Holly. “And the rest of you can go back to whatever you were doing before the alarm.” She told them all cockily.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">Scott was the first to speak. “I don't think so. Take a look, you're outnumbered.” He stepped forward with Jean, blocking Holly from view. </span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500"><br/>
Holly was definitely not feeling so hot at the moment. Her skin was flushed and clammy feeling, and she felt like she was gonna hurl. <br/>
<br/>
“Are you ok? You don't look so hot.” It was Rogue who whispered to Holly. She had come to stand beside the girl, looking her over with some concern.  <br/>
<br/>
Holly turned her head to answer Rogue, when a dizzy spell hit. Her legs seemed to fall from under her and the ground was coming up awfully fast to meet her. It was Rogue who stopped her decent, catching her under the arms. <br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">“Hey, she doesn't look so hot.” Rogue called to the two mutants in front.<br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">Elianna's face lit up. “I think you'll wanna reconsider. She doesn't have long if you don't.” It was a bluff, but hopefully it was good enough. “She has twelve hours to live if you don't give her over to me.” Another bluff, the snakes venom was harmless enough.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dcdcdc">Storm turned to see Sniper coming out of the training room. The alarms sounded loudly down here, but there was nothing she could do, the elevators shut down in emergencies. So she turned her attention to Sniper. <br/>
<br/>
“Did you find the room useful?” She asked, trying to keep her worry in check. She hated being out of the loop when something bad was happening. She hoped it was just a drill. <br/>
