Summary- Rogue receives weird dreams that plague her constantly; what do they mean? With the help of her teammates and some outside sources she will be pulled into a chaotic mystery, learning more and more about the real world along the way. In the end what side in the upcoming war will she choose…Magneto…the X-men…or will she choose to walk her own path?
Rogue's Dream
Suffocating darkness swelled around her lithe form, absorbing everything in its wake. Light, sound, even her own feelings seemed to be sucked into the black abyss…never to return again. Fear gripped her heart as she frantically twisted round and round, fighting to find a way out of this prison of nothingness she was trapped in.
"Sind Sie vom dunklen erschrocken?" a soft voice whispered into her right ear.
(are you scared of the dark?)
"Ah can't understand yah" she said, turning to her right, only to find the same darkness that was there before.
"Es ist alle in Ihrem Kopf" was replied softly in her other ear.
(it is all in your head)
"What does that mean!" she violently whipped this way and that, trying to find the source.
"Hören Sie, was ich sage" came the breathy reply.
(Hear what I say)
"Who are yah, where ahm' Ah?" she shouted, only to have her voice seemingly absorbed by her murky surroundings.
"Befürchten Sie den Mann in rot!" it screamed, causing her to flinch as the voice drifted away.
(Fear the man in red!)
"Ah don't understand!" she shouted back
"Befürchten Sie den Mann in rot!" the voice was fading fast, the words now yelled were floating around her head in a mass of confusion.
(fear the man in red!)
"Don't leave, Ah didn't get what yah said" she fought harder than ever against the dark, trying her hardest to get to the voice.
"Befürchten Sie" fading, softer and softer "den Mann in rot" and then it was no more.
(Fear) (the man in red)
End Dream Sequence
Rouge awoke from the strange dream panting heavily, bed sheets wrapped in a death grip around her prone form. What the hell was that all aboutshe idly wondered to herself as she glanced around her room, happily noting that her wild thrashing hadn't woken her roommate, Kitty Pryde. The valley girl mutant would nag her for hours on end if she happened to wake the slumbering freshman--after all, perfect people like her needed their beauty sleep. Rogue wasn't necessarily jealous of Kitty, nor did she dislike the girl. In all reality, she like her roommate very much, but their were too many personality quirks in Kitty that got on the goth girl's very last nerve.
Sighing dejectedly she swung her legs over the edge of her bed and hoisted her sleep deprived body out of the sheets. She knew after a dream like that she would never be able to get to sleep again; why not make the best of it? So she quietly crept across the hard wood floor to the giant French windows connecting her room to the outside (AN: duh) and snuck her way to the spot just above her room on the giant sloping roof. When she had first arrived in the mansion, her shaky nerves had kept her up like this many nights, and resulted in her finding a secret, secluded spot where she could get away from the daily problems that plagued her.
Climbing out the window, she pulled herself up on the roof and settled down for some quiet contemplation. Questions flew through her mind faster than she could generate answers, leaving her with a slight headache. 'Who was in my dream?' 'What where they saying?' 'Should I tell someone?' The professor will help me she confidently thought I wonder if he would be awake at this hour? but she quickly dismissed that thought. In order for her to answer the latter question she would have to risk getting caught by Logan tying to find the professor; that was not something she wished for since she'd been caught sneaking out with Kitty not just two days ago! I guess I'll just have to wait
Leaning back, she settled herself, completely intent on thinking of nothing more as she watched the sun rise over the tree line.
The breeze whispered through her hair, unbeknownst to the resting teenager.
Ich bin der Drache.

PLEASE READ YOU FOOLS
I wrote this story a year and some ago under my other name - Loddmusdd. After moving around and changing schools, I found it impossible to keep up with writing my stories and doing my homework. So I put my stories on a temporary hiatus for that time being. Now I'm back and ready to type again…only one problem…
I broke my hand on my summer vacation to the Black Hills when I was ATVing off road with my dad. I only have one hand and three fingers to type with, and that spells out trouble…lol
It's going to take me quite some time to type brand new chapters, so I figured I could just re-vamp my old ones when my hand got tired or started hurting.
Anywho-Some may remember when I said this before-I do not speak German. I have my friend do my translations for me. Please forgive me if they aren't the best lines ever.
One last point---I hope someone noticed that Rogue, when speaking to herself in her mind, doesn't have her accent. Well I am a firm believer that people don't think in accents; they are just like lisps and so forth, you hear yourself say it normally, and it comes out accent-y.
