\\Yeah I know finish your other stories first but they are finished I just have to type them and that gets boring so for once I'm going to try the whole type while your writing thing but don't worry they will get finished it will just take some time so give me a break and enjoy.\\
Well Hello everyone, I am alive, not mangled on the side of the road, contrary to my mother's belief. I decided to repost this and fix the grammar. The dialog is in the colloquial (conversational) style, like Steinbeck. The grammar is probably not going to be perfect but I tried. Enjoy again I guess.
Disclaimer: If I owned X-men do you think I would be typing away on some knockoff laptop? Lol.
A Dark Night
Chapter 1
ExperimentsRogue ran through the halls screaming for her life as soldiers chased her. She ran and ran, but it wasn't enough, she was not fast enough, the goop enveloped her and blackness shrouded her vision.
Rogue woke up to an all to familiar ceiling.
"Good morning"
She ignored the figure and he stepped forward.
"I said good morning"
An electric shock went through her body she shivered in pain.
"Mornin"
"I see you recognize me good, now you know the procedure I will be back in one hour then the fun starts"
The man walked out of the cell, leaving Rogue alone with the leering guards. She knew what was coming next; the collar hummed to life around her neck.
"You know what to do mutie"(guard 1)
"Thas tha only way you gentle man can git ya kicks?"
"Shut up"
He smacked her across the face.
"Now lets play"
Beast covered his ears as her scream assaulted his ears. He banged against the bars.
"Leave her alone!"
Beast demanded snarling at the unseen predators. The guard in front of his cell turned around and sneered at him.
"Shut it mutie! They're lucky I get stuck with the fur ball"
Beast wearily walked back to his cot, he put his head in his hands trying to deafen out the screams. How could he let this happen?
FLASHBACK
Magneto stumbled into the mansion. Beast rushed over to him.
"What's wrong man?"
"Soldiers invaded acolytes captured"
Magneto faltered and crashed to the floor unconscious. Beast rushed him down to the med bay. After he was stable Beast went to talk to the professor.
"Charles?"
Beast asked knocking on the door to the professor's private study.
"Come in Hank"
Charles said through the door his voice reverberating eerily.
"Charles I don't think the school is safe anymore"
Beast said settling himself in one of the overstuffed armchairs.
"I know"
Charles said pressing his fingers into his temples.
"What do you propose?"
Beast asked cautiously.
" I sent most of the students home via the x-jet leaving only a few in our care"
Charles stated wheeling himself out from behind his desk.
"Who remains?"
Beast asked his eyes following the crippled mentor.
"Kitty, Rogue, Scott, Logan, and Magnus"
Charles said looking into the fire.
"Shall we keep them on a normal schedule?"
Beast asked angling his body towards Charles.
"Yes no need to alarm them"
Charles said nodding his head.
"You're right"
Beast said nodding his head.
"Why don't you try to get more information out of Magnus?"
Charles suggested, Beast nodded his head and walked out of the room, heading towards the MED bay.
"Magnus?"
"Hank"
"Magnus I"
"Silence"
"What?"
"They're here"
There was fear in his eyes. Beast heard screaming, the doors burst open. There stood 17 or so soldiers. Magneto was covered in solidifying goop Beast started to run but when he hit the ground he was encased in solid goop.
END FLASHBACK
The screaming ended, they were finally going to leave her alone. He smiled but that smile quickly faded as he saw her being led down the hall leaving a trail of blood.
The Pain was deafening Rogue could barely stand it. They had beaten her while they violated her. She knew she had a couple broken ribs and was bleeding pretty bad, but she kept her head high she would not show weakness. They walked her by all the cells she saw beast looking at her with concern. Then she saw them those beautiful black eyes, she locked gazes. What were they? She stopped and gazed into the eyes they gazed right back. She was knocked to the ground by a club. She tried to get up but they just kicked her in the stomach she fell coughing up blood.
"Dats no way t' treat a lady"
The guards looked into the cell. A figure came into the light; he was tall lean with messy brown hair and those eyes. Rogue tried to get up again but they kicked her she felt something pop she fell and stayed there not wanting to be hurt anymore.
"Who do you think you are mutie?"
"Din y' mama ever teach y' not t' hit a girl"
"Yeah a normal one not some mutie freak, now mind yo own business"
An electric shock went through the man as he fell to the ground. They picked Rogue up and dragged her the rest of the way.
"I told you to rough her up a bit not kill her"
"She's still breathin"
"It will just have to do"
Rogue was propped up on a table eagle style. Another girl was brought in; they shackled her to the table next to Rogue's. Rogue started to struggle only to be hit across the face.
"It hurts less when you cooperate"
"Who are yah?"
"Carol Danvers"
"How long have ya'll been here"
"6 years"
"Years!"
"Yeah I guess they finally are going to kill me bout time yeah you here that Trask I'm glad to die it beats bein locked in this hell hole"
"Oh miss Danvers always spirited aren't you, though were not going to kill you just merely conduct an experiment"
The tables started to move closer together. Carol was glaring holes through Trask. The hum from Rogues collar went off. No, their skin touched she screamed in pure agony. He body started to shake as the psyche flowed into her, the memories the power it was all too much. Then it was over she looked to her side carol wasn't breathing. Oh god she killed her, she killed an innocent person.
"So Rogue how does it feel to be a murderous?"
oo0oo
