Oblivious To Reality Chapter 2: Kitty's Lost Friend
Rogue sat upon her bed as she let tears fall down her cheeks. She looked around the room, darkness, the only light was the moon flowing through the window. Rogue looked upon her roommate sleeping soundly. Rogue spoke to herself. "How can that girl sleep knowing what happened was because of...me. I would be scared if a killer slept in my room." Rogue was about to continue but a soft voice interrupted her.
"Rogue..." Rouge looked over to see Kitty awake. "It was not your fault. I am scared, but not because of you." Kitty got up and walked over and sat next to Rogue on her bed. "I know you could kill me if you wanted to, but I trust you Rouge. I watch you gaze out the window sometimes."
Rogue interrupted. "But, Kitty, I killed Logan."
"That's not true Rogue, Sabertooth killed him, not you. I get what your saying, but it was not you. None of the other students think that." Kitty said trying to comfort her. Kitty looked into Rogue's eyes as if she was reading her mind. Kitty slowly rose her hand to wipe Rogue's eyes.
"Kitty stop!" Rogue demanded, but Kitty kept wiping Rogues eyes. Rogue could feel the memories of Kitty coming inside her. "Kitty please!" More tears started to come out, but Kitty kept wiping her tears off her cheeks till she fainted. Rouge suddenly screamed and woke up.
Rogue looked around the room to see total darkness. She looked at Kitty to see her sleeping soundly in her bed. Her heart racing and breathing fast slowly slowed to normal. Rogue laid her head back down and cried herself to sleep, not wanting to wake up the next morning. Rogue started to dream again. A flash appeared followed by a family gathered around a Christmas tree.
"Mommy! Daddy! A puppy!" Sound of laughter could be heard from a little girl.
"Merry Christmas Kitty." A soft voice said. A little girl with light brown hair ran into her father's arms as he picked up her daughter.
"What?" Rogue spoke. Another flash and another dream occurred.
A young girl about the age of 13 was in and area what looked like a park. "Princess come here Princess!" Suddenly a dog appeared running towards the girl. Rogue got a close look at the girl, a necklace around her neck said Kitty.
"Kitty?" Rouge watched her young friend hug the golden retriever and grab a ball out of her. A squirrel appeared and the dog started chasing it.
"Princess! Leave that squirrel alone!" Kitty said with a little laugh. The laughter suddenly stopped when she saw the squirrel cross the road as well as Princess. "PRINCESS! COME HERE NOW!" But Kitty was denied. The squirrel crossed the road safely... "Nooooo! Princess." But Princess did not. Rouge looked over to where the dog was, but a bright light caused her to close her eyes. She opened them to see her back in her bed at the institute with the sun shining through the window.
Rouge looked at the clock 10:36am. "Shit. Ah'm late for school." Rogue made her way out of bed and downstairs to the kitchen. She poured her self some coffee and sat at the table staring at the dark liquid.
"Something the matter Rouge? Why aren't you at school?" A calm, but serious voice asked from behind.
Rogue looked up to see Storm standing there with a book in her hand. "Hmm? Oh, Ah had a rough night and woke up a few minutes ago." Rogue spoke after taking a sip of her coffee. She looked back into her coffee.
"I see." Storm walked over to the table and sat down across from Rogue. "Rogue is there something you wish to tell me?" Rogue looked up at Storm.
"Yeah."
"Then tell me what's the matter Rogue. Is it Logan?" Storm said. When Storm said Logan's name, her vision seem to go out towards the window and fell upon his grave. "Rogue?"
Rogue's focus quickly went back to Storm. "But Ah don't want to talk about it. But thanks." Rogue finished off her coffee and set it down. She got up and started to leave the kitchen. "But it is not about Logan."
"Rogue, before you go, I'm going to let you stay home today. But also remember that if anything is bothering you, the professor and I are always." She paused. "Where here to help you all." Rogue caught the pause and looked back at Storm.
"Were you gonna say 'here'?" Rouge asked.
"Yes. Rogue, and I realize that that's not at all true in some cases." Storm spoke.
"Storm, is the professor here?" Storm looked up at Rouge.
"Yes, he is in his office. But remember what I said." Storm said as Rogue left the room.
Rogue wandered down the halls towards the professor's office. Before she could knock on his oak doors; "Come in Rouge." Rogue did so and stepped inside his office and took a seat. "I see you are not at school. How come?"
"Ah had a rough night. And something happened that Ah only want to talk ta you about." Rogue looked down.
"Please continue." Xavier replied. Rouge repeated the occurrences that happened last night. Xavier just sat there the entire time, arms on his desk hand in hand, never loosing eye contact with his student. After she was done, nothing was said for a few moments. "Well, Kitty did have a dog, but that is all she has told me. I don't want to pry into her mind with out her consent. But that is up to you weather if you want to find out if it is true or not."
"But Ah do. It all felt so weird last night." Rogue spoke.
"Then talk to her and if something comes up come see me."
"Thanks professor." Rogue said as she started to leave.
"Oh and Rogue, Kurt will bring home your work." He said with a smile as Rogue made a slightly disgusted face.
"Bye professor." Rogue smiled and left his office of towards her room.
Meanwhile at school Kurt and Kitty were sitting together during lunch. "So Kurt you plan on ever not using your image enducer?" Kitty said as she grabbed a handful of chips out of a bag.
"No! Vhy vould I vant to do that? People vould scream 'Look at the blue demon! Lets kill it before it kills us!" Kurt said taking a bite out of his sandwich.
"Awww poor Kurt." Kitty finishes her bag of chips and starts munching on Kurts when a person walks up to them. "Hi!" Kitty notices it was the new kid in her class. He was a Jr. just like Kitty. He had blonde hair and deep forest green eyes. He was tall and wore a tight shirt showing his muscles. "Do you want to sit with us?"
"Sure. Everyone else hates me because some dork found out I was one of you." He said.
"You're a mutant? Cool! What are your powers?" Kitty ask excitedly.
"Well, I can controll water and become liquid form." The new student replied.
"Vell, that's cool. But, vhats your name?" Kurt spoke after a moment of silence.
"Kyle Hawkens. I just transferred from Florida."
Kittybegan eating the rest of Kurt's chips. "Hey do you think you want to come to the mansion with us after school and check the place out?" Kitty asked all of a sudden.
"Sure, that will be good. Besides my folks wont get home til midnight. Some benefit ball." Kyle said starting to eat his lunch.
"Hey Kitty, vhen did Scott leave? He left with out saying good bye." Kurt asked after watching a fight breakout on the other side of the courtyard.
"He only said good bye to Storm who dropped him off at the airport. Besides he will be back in four days. But if it was me, you wont see me till next school year." Kitty said with a little hint of daydreaming.
"Scott?" Kyle asked. "The guy that was all over the papers with the red sun glasses?"
"Yeah, he had to go to Hawaii for his little brother, Alex. Alex decided to come here to the institute to live here closer to Scott." Kitty said.
"Kitty incoming food!" Kurt said as ducked under the table. Kitty nodded and waited. Kyle turned and watched the food come flying at her...And fly right through her. It landed on Jason Mathews.
"Uh-oh." Kitty said as Jason got up.
"Who's that?" Kyle asked. "Brother of Duncan Mathews, who graduated last year. His brother does not hate mutants. He just has a crush on me. The only thing that made him popular was him taking his brothers spot on the football team."
"Who threw that?" Jason said as he looked upon the trio.
"It came from back there Jason." Kitty spoke.
"Uh-huh." The jock replied.
"Why would I throw something at you?" Kitty winked which made Jason blush slightly. Jason looked up to see Lance coming up to the group. Kitty turned around and saw him. "Oh no. Lance, go away."
"Why? Im the one who threw the food." Lance said glaring at Jason.
"Lance, you didn't throw food at me because I broke up with you, did you?" Kitty asked curiously.
"Why should it be any of your business you X-geek." Lance looked over towards Kyle. "Who's the new kid, is he going to run to Professor X like the others?"
"Lance, shut up before your brain fries from putting to many words in one sentence." Kitty glared.
"No Kitty let the freak speak." Jason said.
"Jason! That was so not right. Are you saying I'm a freak to?" Kitty yelled.
Kyle and Kurt were just sitting there. "Excuse me, but-" Kurt started to speak but was interrupted by Lance.
"Shut it fur ball." Lance said.
The three mutants started arguing. "Fur?" Kyle spoke to himself. He looked up at Jason who quickly looked away back to Kitty when Kyle looked at him. Kyle thought for a moment. "Uhm, I'm just gonna skip lunch then. Bye."
Jason spoke. "Sit!" Then Jason and Kyle were arguing. After a few minutes a sound was made and the arguing stopped. Everyone looked up to see Principal Kelly glaring at them.
"You five, what's going on here?" Kelly asked sternly.
"Well you see Principal Kelly, Lance threw food at Kitty, but Kitty dodged it and." Jason was interrupted.
"How did Ms. Pryde block the airborne food Mr. Mathews?" Kelly asked trying to find someway to get the mutants in trouble.
"Well, Kurt warned Kitty and Kitty ducked having the food land on me." Jason replied with some stuttering involved.
"Liar!" Lance said.
"Oh? Jason lied?" Kelly responded. "So tell me Mr. Alverez, how did Kitty dodge the food that you threw at her?"
"She used her powers!" Lance said as fast as the question was asked.
"Ms. Pryde, using your powers on school campus is a level 3 in my eyes and will result in suspension for two weeks." A squirrel hopped on the table and headed towards Kyle's food as Kitty glared at Lance who was laughing.
"But Principal Kelly, using powers to avoid a conflict is not on the Counties Student Code of Conduct policy, nor is it a state law that a student can not use his or her powers to avoid a conflict. You just hate mutants Principal Kelly!" The squirrel hopped on Kitty's lap. "Squirrels! I hate squirrels!" Kitty picked it up and threw it over to a near by tree. Furious, Kitty got up and left.
Back at the mansion Rogue was looking through all of Kitty's things. She even read her diary. But Rogue found nothing on a dog names Princess. But she got the dirt on Jason Mathews and who she likes. She sat there reading it aloud. "Then there was the first time Ah met Rogue. Don't ghet meh wrong, Ah love her ta death, but when we first met, Ah thought she was gonna kill meh. Ah think she still sometimes does want ta kill meh, but heh." Suddenly the door opened and Kitty walked in.
"Your reading my diary!" Kitty yelled. "You are so dead Rogue!" Kitty dropped her things and chased Rouge.
"Heh, and Ah thought you though that Ah was gonna kill ya first sugar!" Rogue said laughing tossing Kitty's diary on the floor. Kitty finally jumped off the bed and tackled Rouge to the floor.
"Don't look down Rogue!" With that Kitty shoved Rogue through the floor having her land on the kitchen floor. "Ugh!" Kitty looked up to see Kyle in the doorway. "Oh let me take you to the Professor Kyle." Kitty started to walk down the halls to the big oak doors, she took a peek in and saw the Professor reading a book. "Professor?"
"Yes Kitty?" Looking up from his book.
"I have someone who wants to meet you." Kitty said as Kyle came up into Xavier's view.
"Yes, hello Kyle."
"Hey! How did you know...I'm not even going to ask how you knew that."
"Your 17 from Florida. You were expelled for having a pipe burst 20 feet the school. You did not do that but because of your mutation, they blamed you." Kyle nodded. Kitty stood their laughing. "I also know that you were suspended because of a past fight with a guy." Xavier stopped. "Im not going to read your mind any further without your consent."
"Uhm, Professor, I have some stuff to do you Im gonna go now." Xavier smiled at her as Kitty left the room. Kitty started to walk back to her room when she ran into Rogue and Kurt.
"Boy Kitty, ya look lhke ya just saw a ghawd." Rogue said looking at Kitty who look like shes in could nine.
"Yeah I did, he might even be living here." Kitty said as the three turned into Kitty and Rouges room. Kitty sighed as she fell upon her bed. "Damn he's hot."
"Oh, come on Kitty...Kyle is so gay!" Kurt protested.
"Aw, Kurt your just jealous." Kitty said laughing.
"That's it, I'm out ov here!" Kurt said as he teleported out of the room leaving the sulfur floating through the air.
"Damn it! Ah hate it when he does that!" Rougue complained. Rogue sat down on her bed. "So Kitty, how was ya day?"
"It went nuts!"
"What happened?" Rogue asked.
"Well, I almost got suspended. And a squirrel pounced on my lap." Kitty said. "I kicked that squirrel up a tree." Kitty laughed.
"A squirrel? What did a squirrel ever do ta ya." Rogue asked.
"It..." Kitty stopped in mid sentence.
"It made ya loose something ya love?" Rogue said softly.
Kitty looked up to her friend. "How did you know."
"Ah had a dream last night. You kept touching meh, like ya wanted meh to know somethin. Then you died on meh. Woke up, then fell back asleep and dreamed about you getting Princess, till ya lost her to that squirrel." Rogue stopped to see Kitty crying. "Are ya okay." Rouge got up and wrapped her arm around Kitty being careful not to touch her.
