Happiness

What is happiness?

Is it having everything you want?

No...happiness can't be that superficial.

Because I do have everything I want.

Yet I am not happy.

So what is happiness?

Remy woke with a start when someone jabbed his stomach hard. He glared at the perpetrator. Unfortunatly his red on black eyes didn't mean much to a blue eyed white haired african. The aforementioned african pulled a reluctant Remy to his feet.

"Up and at em sleepyhead. It's almost time for dinner."

"Dinner?"

"Yes my dear theiving brother. Dinner. As in the opposite of breakfast and the last meal before bedtime. Unless you count a midnight snack" She added thoughtfully. Remy just scowled.

"Don' mock me."

"Whoever said I was mocking you? I was just stating the facts."

"I hate you."

"It's only because I love you Remy. Now go to the dining room." Remy went to the dining room. He kept his eyes focused on the ground refusing to look at anyone. Ororo draped an arm over his shoulder and led him to an empty seat. He didn't say anything throughout the entire meal and only listend halfheartedly to the conversations around him. His food went untouched. Thankfully no one commented. Well except Warren Worthington III.

"Geez Cajun, you're going to kill more people through starvation by wasting food like that."

The room went completely silent.

Remy felt eyes on him waiting for his response. He turned a hard glare on Archangel.

"At least I repented aftah sellin' my sould to the devil mon ami." Vaguely he noticed Ororo and Jean stiffle giggles. Others had small smiles on their faces. Because he had spoken the truth. Remy hated himself so much for what he had done in the Massacre and the others knew that. Warren had regreted his decision at first but as soon as his wings had grown back it could of been just another day as far as he was concerned.** Remy quickly excused himself and stepped outside for a cigerette. He heard the sounds of everyone else cleaning up. Someone wrapped her arms around him. The long sleeves and gloves told him it was Rogue.

"Yah ok sugah?" Remy roughly pushed her off. He didn't want to be loved by someone who decided who she loved by how popular someone was. The time when she had left him in Antartica was still a recent memory to him. "Remy?"

"Fuck off Rogue." He leaped over the porch railing and onto the soft grass below. He set a brisk pace towards the already dark woods behind the mansion.

"Remy!" He turned angerily at the voice. Warren stood directly behind him and as soon as he had turned slammed him back into a tree. The impact temporarily stunned him and Warren took the time to gag him and bind his wrists together. "I'm gonna make you pay for that comment at dinner." He hissed as he dragged Remy further into the woods so they were out of sight of the mansion. Remy was slammed into another tree.

At this point Remy's mind started a silent mantra, 'He won't. He can't. He wouldn't.' But the silent mantra disappeared when a hand pulled roughly at his jeans. He tried to lash out but Warren used to stiff cloth as a looser bind on his ankles. Warren regarded the now half naked Cajun closely with an obvious leer on his face. Remy refused to look scared. Warren punched him in the stomach obviously annoyed with his resistance. While Remy was still struggling to breath Warren entered him quickly and with no preperation.

Remy hissed around his gag but that was the only sign of pain he showed. He was used to pain. Warren finished quickly throwing in a few more punches for grins and giggles. As soon as the man was completely satisfied he walked off leaving Remy alone and bound in the woods. He knew he could be out there forever and no one could find him unless he willing called out. But right then he didn't want to call out. He just wanted to lie there and die. He lay there for a few more minutes before slowly working his hands free. He was soon redressed and the gag and tie used on his hands were thrown in the bushes. Remy sat back down. He might be free visibly but his soul still felt tied up.
