I am so sorry to everyone that was waiting for an update from me! I've been in the process of moving, and am finding it hard to find time. Thank you so much for reviewing, and here we go! Another chapter up!
A lone dark figure could just barely be seen through the dark, scouring buildings to reach the target. Leaping gracefully from the roof of a building, a man elegantly touched the ground. Standing and leaping the fence, he set out in a run towards the door he knew to enter. He was a tall man, with a strong build. He had strong facial features and long auburn hair covered his eyes from view and added more to his mystery. He was known as Remy LeBeau, Prince of the Thieves Guild.
'alright now. De boss homme said to grab a girl and bring her to him. Simple 'nough.' He thought as ducking past security systems. The systems were too easy. He could get past these in his sleep. But, enough bragging, a job was to be done.
He ran through the halls, a silent blur of motion. Ducking in here and out there, passing security guards and systems. Never letting the guards see him, he made it to the cells he was to 'rescue' the girl from. Noticing a security camera in the corner, he drew a card from his coat, and it began to glow a strange pinkish/red color. Flicking his wrist, the card flew to the camera and upon contact, blew up, leaving Remy to saunter down the hall of cells. Looking carefully in the cells, he didn't see anything, until he came to the last cell, and found a frail looking pale figure hunched in a corner. Was this really the girl he was looking for? Ol' bucket head said something about her being a very important and powerful mutant. Watching the figure, he could see the girl had been under fed, seeing a few ribs and other bones you weren't supposed to see. He couldn't see the girls head, being covered in the shadow of the cell.
'alright Remy, enough lookin'. Grab the girl and leave.' He thought, shaking his head. He always had a reputation for being a ladies man, and his father thought it would one day be the death of him.
Taking another card, he charged it again and blew open the cell door. The girl didn't even look up, just moved back further into the wall.
"It's alright now petit, no one going to hurt you." Remy said softly and smoothly. Looking for a reaction from the girl, he couldn't see one. She didn't move a muscle. Trying again, he spoke softly, "Come now petit, I'm going to take you away from here. It's going to be alright."
Still no reaction. Getting annoyed, he bent down closer to her and said a bit more harshly "Alright fille, its time to go." And reached out for her bare arm. This got a reaction from her, snapping her head up and looking him straight in the eyes. Remy went still, taken back by her eyes. Such large green eyes. So vibrant, even in the dark cell. Her eyes were endless pools of emerald green. Remy couldn't look away from her eyes, they told so much. So much pain and suffering. Her eyes may have been bright in color, but they looked dead. The pain and suffering showing through, with no light or hope. She looked like a porcelain doll, so young with flawless white skin and large emerald eyes. Another thing he noticed was her hair. It was so different from what he had ever seen before. It was long and messy, and matted down, but had a shock of white hair as bangs. The white bangs almost covering her face, but her eyes shining through. He found himself longing to help this girl, not for the job or money anymore.
She just sat there, looking at him. Wanting to touch her face, he reached for her again, only this time, the girl looked away and curled even closer into the wall. The girl turned away and broke the eye contact, and Remy's thoughts were filled with this girl. He had to get her out of here, take her out into the world, make her smile…and bring her to Magneto?
'One step at a time…' he reprimanded himself. 'cant go makin' plans with this fille.' He laughed in his mind. 'Now, to get her out of here.'
Remy took off his trench coat and wrapped the girl in it. She barely moved, only moving in closer to the wall. He picked her up and made his way out of the holding center. He knew that getting past guards was easy, but he still didn't want to be noticed, so he made his way out carefully, mindful of the girl in his arms. He ran into one guard, when he distracted himself with looking at the girls face buried into his chest, but easily overcame the little challenge with a charged card. He made his way past the security system again, and scaled the fence again.
Once away from the facility quite a bit, he stopped and put the girl down. She sat and curled into a ball, but looked up at him with her emerald eyes. The night sky making her look paler than before, and her eyes shine with a fake light. Remy was caught again by the contact, and just looked at her.
'Mon Dieu, elle est belle…' he thought, reaching for her face once more to brush away a stray strand of white hair, the girl moved her face to keep from contact. Annoyed at the gesture and the break in eye contact, Remy picked her up again and began to make his way to where he was to meet Magneto.
Upon seeing Magneto waiting in the thick woods, Remy stopped and looked at the girl again, but she had her face turned away from him, denying him from seeing her face. "I'm going to take you to a friend of mine, you'll be safe there" he said to the girl, almost harshly, and continued his way toward the ominous figure of Magneto.
And there we have it, another chapter up, and more in the works. I couldnt help but put some Romy-ness in it already, even if its only one sided for now...and manythanks to all who review!
mumres nasha 101: Thank you so much for your comment. It's nice to know I have some people that really like my story! I will definitely try and post much more often. Have to tend to your hunger for more!
Nene: thank you so much for your comment. It's very flattering blushes I will try and post more chapters more often now, school is almost over.
GothikStrawberry: You're right about Magneto being a member of the Hellfire Club. I know my Hellfire, but I just wanted to apologize for it seeming…out of place…to those who didn't know of Magneto's position. And I do plan on making the Hellfire Club as evil as possible. It's just no fun to have it any other way…
Your ROMY senses are right on. This will be an eventual Romy. I'm a die hard fan, so I would never pass up the opportunity to write in Romy fluff.
Thank you for your encouraging reviews!
Summer: Yes, I think a lot of people were thinking I was going to use Jean…but, I don't really like her all that much. Haha, I was wondering why no one wanted to read my story…everyone probably thinks it's about Jean!
Thank you for your review!
