Meeting her wasn't my downfall, My downfall was loving her...I should have ignored my feelings and desires. I shouldn't have done what I did, she was too young... many people would say that I just took advantage of her, used her feelings to drawn her in, to use her as a substitute for jean, that loving her wholeheartedly was wrong... maybe it was, is, but we can't take back our mistakes... although I wouldn't take them back even if I could.

-Three years earlier

the bar as expected, was packed. At least, Marie thought this was what was expected, after all, this was the first time she had ever actually been in a bar, but if there ever was a time for firsts, this was it.. what she wanted right now was to take that little fake I.D. March right up to that bartender and order the strongest thing of alcohol they had to make her forget why she was here in the first place. On her way thou she was distracted by the crowd of cheering people surrounding what looked like a metal cage. She stepped forward, and tried to see what was exciting these people so much. Finally she saw him. He was in the cage, and he looked like an animal. A graceful, raging,handsome animal. He was tall, much taller than Marie's 5'4 frame, and had the prettiest brown eyes Marie had ever seen. His skin was smooth, yet rough looking from manual labor Marie guessed. His shirt was off and his skin was glistening from sweat. It was safe to say that this man was the most gorgeous being Marie had ever had the pleasure of seeing. And when he fought, it was no wonder why he had the name "wolverine". He was a predator and the man he was fighting was his prey. He took the man out in under three minutes. After the fight Marie found herself watching him as he made his way down to get a beer, she thought it was the perfect time to try out her card, not to get drunk but to just see if she would like the taste, for she didn't want to forget this man. Now that she saw him in better light she realized he had to be in his thirties, Marie blushed, he was an older, experienced man. Behind the wolverine thou, was the man he fought. Who looked very angry. They exchanged a few words and then Marie saw a tiny silver pocket knife in the balding man's hand. "watch out." she heard herself say as she grabbed wolverine. He flew around and pulled three blades out of nowhere, or as she looked closer she saw that they were protruding out of his knuckles.

Logan pushed the man up against the wall. "you sure you wanna do this bub?" he growled. Suddenly he felt cold metal on the back of his head. "get out of my bar, freak." the owner said. Logan fueled by anger spun around and slashed the owner's gun in half. "i was just leaving." he said smirking as he made his way out of the bar.

Marie knew she shouldn't have done it, the wolverine may be a serial killer for all she knew, but she was desperate and right now the thought of hiding in the back of a potential serial killer's truck bed was looking pretty good right now.. she only hoped he hurried, it was cold in Canada.

Logan saw the movement in his rear view mirror as he was speeding down the road. He narrowed his eyes and stopped the truck.

"what do you think your doing?" the man said to Marie as he helped her get out of the truck. "i needed a ride." she said shrugging. "didn't your mother ever tell you never to get ride's from strangers?" he said cocking his brow. She sighed. "I'm sorry, I just, I needed to get away and I figured you, wouldn't notice." she said. "i don't take kindly to stowaway's." he said and drumped her stuff onto the ground. "but, your gonna leave me her?" she said making a grab for his arm. "hey kid, not my problem." he said jerking back.

"stupid kid." he said as he pulled out. He pulled a cigar out and lit it. "well it's her fault for running. Not mine... she probably lives close to here anyways." he told himself. Trying to justify leaving her in the cold. He almost didn't feel bad until he let himself look in the mirror, on the side of the road she was there, staring after him..

He's leaving, he's actually leaving me here, she thought to herself.. but as she was thinking this, the car stopped and reversed back until she was beside it. The door opened... "get in kid." came a soft voice. She looked up and saw his face. He smiled softly. "okay." she said and hopped in.
