Take Me Away
Chapter One
"Whah did ah let yah talk meh intah this?" Rogue grumbled, as the boat swayed on the getting-rougher tide. Remy smiled. "Cos' yo' couldn' wait to get dis irresistible Cajun alone on a boat in the middle of nowhere," he offered. Rogue shook her head in disgust. "Yah have a sick mahnd, bayou-boy," she commented, holding onto the boat tightly as it swayed roughly on the tide. Remy chuckled lightly, trying to balance while holding onto the side of the boat. Rogue took her mobile out of her back pocket and dialled the Mansion's number. "Hello, this is like, Kitty Pryde speaking at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters," Kitty answered. "Hey, Kit. It's Rogue. Me and Remy are in a bit of trouble raght now," Rogue explained. "Ooooooh! And what kind of like, trouble is this?" Kitty squealed. Rogue sighed. "Yah need tah stop hangin' around with the Cajun so much," Rogue commented dully. "What? So you can like, have him all to yourself?" Kitty joked. Rogue smacked her forehead in frustration. "Ugh! Never mind! Anyway, could yah send someone to come an' pick us up? We're on a small boat in the middle of the ocean somewhere," Rogue explained. She heard Kitty scrawling something on a piece of paper. "Describe your surroundings," she instructed. Rogue looked around. "Um...it's dark and raining. Our picnic basket is floating on the sea to our north. The tide is really rough," she tried to describe as best as she could. "Right. The Blackbird should like, be there soon. Hold on tight and we're like, just coming," Kitty comforted. "Thanks, Kit. Bye," Rogue said. "Bye," Kitty replied and put the phone down. Rogue put the phone back in her pocket. She looked at Remy. "Thah Blackbird should be comin' soon," she informed him and gasped as a huge wave moved their boat, almost tipping it over. Rogue coughed out the salty water that had gotten into her mouth. "Yo' all right, chere?" asked Remy, concernedly. Rogue wiped her mouth with the back of her glove. "Ah'm fahne. No need tah worry," she dismissed the fact that her mouth tasted horrible and there was a painful burning in her chest. She had gone through too much to let little things like that bother her. Plus, she was too stubborn to admit she was in pain. Suddenly, another huge wave came in, tipping their boat over completely. "Aaagh!" Rogue gasped as she fell into the water. Remy righted the boat and climbed in. He searched the water desperately for Rogue. She was a good swimmer. She couldn't drown! Remy breathed deeply. If anything happened to her......... "Rogue!!!!!" he yelled. He jumped in and swam to find Rogue. Finally, he saw her drifting down. Her eyes were shut. Remy kicked his way to her, grabbed her by the waist and swam upward. He reached the surface and put her in the boat. He climbed in himself and saw that she was unconscious. If it weren't for the tiny movements of her chest moving up and down, he would have sworn she was dead. "Wake up, chere! S'il vous plait mon amour! Wake up!" he pleaded with her. She remained unconscious. Remy could fell tears prickling as he touched her bare cheek and hardly even felt the power absorption. "Come on, chere! Don' do dis to me! Y'r a survivor, Rogue!" he yelled. He felt his heart swell with joy as she slowly opened her eyes. "Ah love yah, Remy. More than anyone I've ever met," she muttered. Remy smiled at her. "I love yo' too, chere. Y'r the only person I'll ever love with all my heart," he murmured. All of a sudden, another wave came in, breaking their boat in half and throwing them onto opposite sides of the ocean. Remy pushed himself to the surface and searched the ocean for Rogue. He vaguely saw her head, far, far, far away. "ROGUE!!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his voice. "REMY!!!!!!" she yelled back, with as much force. Her legs were weak and she was running out of oxygen fast. She tried to keep her eyes open but it was so hard, and she was so tired......... She felt her eyes shut and darkness consumed her as she fell below.
Remy saw her go down, below the surface, her eyes shut and dread took over his body. He stopped kicking and prepared to let himself drown. Without her, he didn't want to live. Suddenly, a bright light shone down on him from above. It was the X-Men.
