Author's Note: Warning, this chapter is very dark and pretty sad. I feel like this fan fic is my darkest yet, but also one of my best. Please stand by it and enjoy!

Pourquoi m'avez-vous réveillé?—Why did you wake me up?

Dis-moi—Tell me

Mon Dieu—My God

Que se produit maintenant?—What happens now?

Aimé, vous n'avez pas besoin de s'inquiéter. Remy va prendre soin de vous et il n'a jamais laissé n'importe quoi de pareil se produire encore. Juste reposez-vous, mon amour, repos et sachez que Remy se trouvent justement ici quand vous vous réveillez. Je t'aime, Marie, maintenant et pour toujours.—Beloved, you do not need to worry. Remy is going to take care of you and he will never let something like this happen again. Just rest, my love, rest and know that Remy will be right here when you wake up. I love you, Marie, now and forever.

Tuesday, 3:00 am.

She was running, trying to escape the dark that was threatening to consume her.

She panted and pushed herself harder. She couldn't get caught! She had to survive this! If they caught her—

"Let me out!" A girl's voice called. "Why can't you just let me out!?"

Rogue kept running.

"Please!" The girl screamed. "Just let me out of this hell!"

Rogue increased her speed.

She had no other alternative, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to escape them—the psyches. They were everywhere and sooner or later, one of them was going to catch up to her.

She tripped and felt the girl's presence consume her.

She knew as the darkness surrounded her that she was doomed.

Goodbye, she thought.


Tuesday, 3:30 am.

"Gambit!" Kitty screamed, pounding on his door. "Gambit! Get up! Please!" She frantically pounded harder on the door when it finally opened. Gambit stood lazily at the door, rubbing his eyes and staring at the frantic Kitty in front of him.

"Pourquoi m'avez-vous réveillé?" He growled at the girl. He had been having a really good dream about Rogue letting him kiss her and he wanted to get back to it as soon as possible.

"Remy," Kitty sobbed and it then that the Cajun detected something seriously wrong in the girl's voice. His expression softened considerably and he felt a wave of anxious butterflies in his stomach. Kitty never got this upset unless something majorly wrong had happened.

"Kitty—?" He started to ask, but the girl pointed to the hallway and chocked out:

"It's Rogue!"

His body moved before his brain could understand the sentence. He was already sprinting down the hall when he realized that Kitty was sobbing because of Rogue—his Rogue. He went into full on panic mode as he saw that the door was to Rogue's room was open and the Professor was anxiously standing in the opening.

"Gambit," The Professor started.

"Dis-moi, wat is goin' on wit' chere." He said quickly to the older man. The Professor sighed and pointed to the bed.

Remy gasped in shock and then felt pain spread through him.

Rogue was lying on the bed with her eyes shut and her beautiful hair thrown all over the place.. She looked frozen and Remy quickly rushed by her side and took her gloved hand.

It was then he noticed the blood.

There was blood everywhere—on the carpet, her dresser, her bed, and her pajamas.

"Mon Dieu," He muttered as he saw the cuts on her wrists. "Did Chere—?" Fear of the response cut off his question.

"No," The Professor replied quickly. "This was not Rogue's doing."

"Den, 'ow did dis 'appen?" Remy asked worriedly.

"I believe that one of Rogue's psyches took control over her while she slept."

Remy's eyes widened in shock and fear.

He knew that his beloved had problems with the psyches that she absorbed, but he had never thought that these psyches could've actually gotten control of her and hurt her.

He tightened the grip on her hand as he turned back to the Professor.

"Que se produit maintenant?" He mumbled, panic consuming him.

"Honestly?" The Professor questioned. "I don't know." He wheeled over to the other side of Rogue's bed. He sighed as he looked at the damage that the Amelia had caused. She was a scared girl that just wanted to be released from Rogue's mind and had tried to do it by killing Rogue. "We're lucky that Kitty found her."

"Chat did?" Remy questioned, looking at his beloved once more.

"Yes, she was getting a glass of water and walked by the room. She was what was happening and managed to keep the psyche from causing anymore damage to Rogue until I got there.
The Professor shook his head as he relived the painful experience. He hated seeing one of his students in so much danger like this.

A danger that he was unsure that he could help her through.

"Wat did you do to Chere?" Remy asked quietly.

"I'm afraid I had to overload her brain until it finally shut down." Remy was about to say something, but the Professor quickly cut in. "No, she'll be fine. Perhaps, shut down is the wrong word. I put Rogue and her psyches into a coma-like state to help Rogue regain control of her body. As soon as Hank has everything ready, we'll move her to the infirmary."

Gambit didn't say anything, but the Professor knew that he was not going to leave Rogue's side. In fact, that was one of the reasons that he had Kitty go get him in the first place. Perhaps, Rogue's personality would become more dominant if she saw her true love's face.

"Aimé, vous n'avez pas besoin de s'inquiéter." Gambit whispered into her ear. "Remy va prendre soin de vous et il n'a jamais laissé n'importe quoi de pareil se produire encore. Juste reposez-vous, mon amour, repos et sachez que Remy se trouvent justement ici quand vous vous réveillez. Je t'aime, Marie, maintenant et pour toujours."

And with that, the Professor left the room to check in on Hank, but as he left he said a prayer for Rogue to recover.

Because if she didn't, he knew Gambit wouldn't either.
