"No- Remy. No- don't." Rogue tosses in her bed. Sweat drips off of her forehead and onto her blanket, leaving her covers drenched.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rogue sits up, tears falling from her eyes. She draws her hands to her head and rips out chunks off hair. Brown and white hair scatter her bed. The psyches in her head fight her shields, pounding against the thin, clear glass that keeps them in her mind. They scream into her mind,
Evil girl!
You killed us!
You don't deserve to live!
"Get OUTTA MAH' HEAD!" Her shields begin to break down. Rogue screams into her hands. She pulls herself off of her bed and runs towards the vanity. Rogue stares into the mirror at her reflection as her eyes begin to change colours. They flash to a blue and then to a beautiful red on black, she stares at herself as Remy's eyes stare back at her. "GET OUT!" Rogue holds the sides of the vanity throwing it across the room, knocking off pictures and glass figurines. The vanity smashes against the wall with a loud thud.
Scott turns his head towards the direction of the thud "What?" Remy runs past Scott and follows the screams "Chere!" The thief runs towards Rogue's room, turning the handle quickly. The door opens and he walks in, searching the room for Rogue. Quiet sobs come from the corner of the room, where a young girl sits, holding her legs close to herself. "Chere?" Remy walks towards the girl and crouches down beside her.
"Remy?" Rogue's tear filled eyes look up to Remy. He looks at her with confusion. "Chere what's happenin' to yah'?" He stares into her red and black eyes. Tears begin to fall heavily from Rogue's face. She jumps towards Gambit, pulling him into her arms. He stares in astonishment and holds her close, whispering into her hair, "It's gonna be okay Rogue. Ah'll take care o' yah." She sobs into his chest, holding him close. In between sobs Remy can hear her whisper to him "Remy-" "Ah'm- frightened." Remy slowly strokes Rogue's hair, kissing her head through her dark auburn hair. "I's okay Rogue. Remy'll keep yah safe."
Rogue
"Who said that?!" Rogue turns away from Remy, searching the room for an intruder.
Do you really think that Cajun thief can keep you safe Rogue? I can kill him without lifting a finger.
"Leave him alone!" Rogue screams at the ceiling, hoping for it to reach the unknown speaker. Remy holds Rogue's head closer into his chest "Rogue, i's okay. Shh.. Calm down Che-" Rogue stares at him disbelievingly "It's not okay! He's gonna hurt ya' Remy!" Gambit holds Rogue's face in his hands and looks into her eyes "Who Rogue?" her eyes fade to a deep black, revealing no pupils or iris. "Sinister." her voice lowers an octave and holds Sinister's dark tone. Remy stares at her in disbelief, not knowing she even knew about Sinister. Tears fall from his eyes as Scott runs through the door, panting. "Ah won't let him touch ya' Rogue." Rogue's shields slowly disappear, falling into nothing. Her eyes quickly turn to her beautiful emerald green colour for a splint second. She whispers "Remy Ah'-". Her eyes roll into the back of her head, as she's pulled into unconsciousness. She falls limp in Remy's arms. "Chere?" he shakes her body slightly "Chere!" he screams now, afraid she won't wake up "Rogue!" Remy pulls his Rogue closer into his arms and leans down to hear a pulse. Her chest remains silent, her stomach doesn't raise as she lays still in Remy's arms. Her skin becomes cold and pale. Remy's tears come faster now, though he doesn't lose sight of the task at hand. He touches her face, she doesn't absorb him. "No Rogue! Come back ta' me!" He sets her down on the floor as Scott runs over to her side. Scott pulls a pillow under her head and runs to get the professor. Remy slowly pulls his lips to hers, breathing air into her lungs. He raises his head and presses his hands firmly into her chest, trying to start her heart. He pulls his head closer to her, listening for a pulse. She remains breathless, her eyes closed. She lays still as if she were sleeping. "No don't leave on ma' now Rogue!" He pulls his lips onto hers and breathes air into her. Rogue gasps, opening her eyes. She almost knocks Remy back away from her as she sits up. "Remy?" She pulls her hand up to his face. Her soft skin caresses his face in her hand. He stares wide-eyed at her, unknowing of what to say. "You're so beautiful." She slowly releases his hand and falls to the floor. She's knocked into unconsciousness. Remy holds her in his arms and kisses her forehead. "Rogue."
So Rogue can touch (for how long though?) now I guess. I had writer's block for a while and just wrote out the basic ending so I'm going to be able to finish and not have it abruptly end. Luckily the next chapter will be up soon and I hope you enjoyed. I'd love some reviews and thanks for reading :)
