MEANWHILE

Remy LeBeau strolled around the town. He wasn't the strolling type, but he was in a very good mood today. He had finally succeded in ridding himself of BellaDonna, his fiance. How he loathed that word.

The woman would not leave him alone. Every five seconds she would pop out of nowhere. When he was eating. When he was reading. When he went to town. When he using the bathroom.

He could not go ten minutes alone without her showing up. And if he was gone for too long, he'd come home to her glaring at him and demanding "who is she?".

He turned at a corner and heard some screaming.

"Do you know what we do to thieves around here?" He heard a man yell.

"NO!" He heard a sickly girl scream.

He hid behind some crates that were piled up and watched.

"Do you know what we do to bullies like you?" His attention was torn from the young girl and...butcher?

The angelic voice came from the roofs of the alley. She was in a green and black clad outfit with a black cloak on. He saw many weapons on her belt and her head was held up high.

He couldn't see her face until she jumped down.

"Who are you?" The butcher like man asks.

She pulled off her hood and Remy's eyes widened and his heart beat quickened. She had emeralds for eyes and blood red lips that sneered into a smirk. She had a mask on so he couldn't see the rest of her face. She had two stips of white hair that blended perfectly into her aburn hair and ivory colored skin.

"I'm called The Rogue." She said.

Remy watched with admiration as she unsheathed her sword and was about to kill the man before her. Then she gave a small speach and Remy smiled.

The man ran off and The Rogue glared at him. She bent down and picked up a piece of bread and handed it to the girl.

"Y-you gonna hurt me?" The girl asked.

The Rogue chuckled and Remy's heart stopped. It was pure and radiant. It was like angle's singing.

They exchanged conversation and started to walk his way and that was Remy's sign to leave. He walked off and took a right turn.

"My name is-" The Rogue was cut off by the gaurds yelling

"There she is! Get her!"

"Is not important right now and we should run!"

He turned around and saw The Rogue throw the girl, Rahne, over her shoulder and run. She climbed up onto the roofs and ran more.

Remy followed her on the ground. He grabbed a random pipe lying about and swung at one of his father's gaurds. And he threw it at the other one. He ran away.

He had no idea what posessed him to do that, it was just on impulse.

The Rogue put down the child and stopped running. They stopped at a rundown part of the building, it looked like it was ready to fall at any moment. She hoped that it wouldn't happen anytime soon, they were about 3 stories high.

"I think we're safe." The Rogue said, turning to Rahne.

CRAAAAAACK!

"What was that?" Rahne asked nervously.

"I don't know-" She was cut off by her falling. She screamed as she went down. She shut her eyes tight bracing for impact, only to find out...she never hit the ground.

She felt two large arms holding her up like a child. She blushed and her breath hitched as she looked up and stared at the man holding her. He was very handsome. His hair was brown and pulled back into a messy ponytail to keep it out of his face and he wore a dark brown trench-coat. His skin was a golden color.

He had dark red on black eyes that gleamed like rubies on onyx. They were very strange and very demonic looking, but beautiful in their own way.

The Rogue blinked in surprise. "Can you let me go now?" She asked in a small voice.

The man, Remy, cleared his throat and let go. "Desole."

The Rogue looked at Rahne who was still three stories high. "Jump."

"You are nutts!" Rahne yelled.

"Just do it!" The Rogue yelled back.

Rahne sighed and jumped, she caught Rahne. She set Rahne down and turned to Remy. "Thank you again, I shall be on my way." The Rogue said with her head held high and left.

"Wait! What's your name?" Remy asked desperatly.

"The Rogue." She said simply and walked off.

"Your real name."

"That I can not give." She turned her head and gave a wink before dashing off.

Beautiful and mysterious, Remy thought. I'm going to like her.

The Rogue and Rahne ran for some time before hiding in the shadows. They had lost the gaurds a long time ago, but were still cautious.

The Rogue grabbed her satchel and took out some clothes. She pull off her belt with the weapons and her cloak. She put the clothes that were in the bag over her costume and pulled on a wig and took off her mask.

"What are you doing?" Rahne asked. She was dressed like a boy.

"Disguise. Until I take off these clothes, I'm Owen." She said.

Rahne nodded her head. The Rogue, or Owen, walked out and smiled at everyone. Nobody knew who she was.

"There's the thief girl!" The guards screamed. But they knew who Rahne was.

"Run." Owen told Rahne as they bolted and ran into a brunette lady.

"Oh, I am so sorry-Wait, OWEN!" She screamed.

"Shhh! Calm down Kitty! I'm on a covert mission!" She whispered.

"Is that why you have five guards chasing you?" Kitty said, folding her arms.

"They take baking seriously around here." Owen said with a shrug.

"Come on, let's get out of here. No sense in staying out here." Kitty grabbed both of their hands and walked through a wall.

Rahne was about to scream until Owen put her gloved hand over her mouth.

"Calm down. She's not a ghost. She's just able to phase through walls. " Owen said.

"If you're done panicing now, I'd like to go home." Kitty said, annoyed.

Owen saluted. "Yes ma'am!"

Kitty rolled her eyes. She grabbed their hands and phased through several buildings before stopping at thier home. It was a mansion, about 4 stories high.

Rahne stared at the mansion in shock. It was so huge!

"Ok, now we're safe. All we have to do is stay clear of Logan." Owen said.

"Who's-" Rahne started but was cut off.

"ANNA MARIE D'ANCANTO!" They heard a gruff man's scream echo through the hallways of the mansion.

Owen sighed. "I'm in trouble."
