Author's note: My first story ever. I love rogue-centric fics and so decided to do one telling her story as I've always seen it starting from the manifestion of her power and exploring what having all these different identities in her head does to her. There will be Romy later (possibly a lot) because in my opinion you can't have a Rogue fic without romy.

As he ran Cody could hear his harsh breathing, in-and-out, and the hard rhythmic sound of his feet hitting the ground. He paid no heed to the sharp branches reaching out and scratching at his legs or the rocks making the ground uneven and unstable. He just kept running ignoring everything else. Even ignoring the fact that he didn't know why he was running. As he reached his home he finally slowed down. Finally felt safe. He walked over to the pond next to the house feeling the need to take a cool drink from the murky water after his run. Slowly, chest heaving from exertion, he reached the bank of the pond and bent down. Then he froze. Then everything froze. He blinked hard at his reflection. Jumped up in disbelief rubbing his eyes as if they were the problem here. Looking back at the water Cody saw a 16 year old girl with beautiful auburn curls accentuated by a shocking ivory streak, a heart shaped face, and green eyes looking wild, confused, and lost. Suddenly a sharp pain struck his head and he was on his knees with her hands to her temples trying to make it all stop. Disjointed memories flashed through his mind. "Hey Marie wanna dance". She saw herself at the dance, innocent and carefree as they moved about Dean's living room floor. She felt her hands on Marie's hips as they swayed to the music. He saw through her eyes as he leaned down for a kiss. She saw the happiness in her eyes change suddenly to shock as something went terribly wrong. She felt his panic as he tried to pull away. She felt the pull of her deadly kiss drawing away his life as the world went black forever.

Well that's that for now. Please give me some constructive critiscm since I'm new at this and am a bit lost, but please no flames (I am a sensitive soul).
