Running Again
The wind howled through the deserted platform. Marie sat on the cold wet bench waiting for the train to arrive. She watched the water drip from a corner of the leaky shelter. Drip. Drip. Drip. It wasn't quite raining anymore, but just drizzling. Nevertheless, it was still a horrible day. One to match how Marie was feeling.
It had been a month after Logan left the mansion. For every day that he had left, she missed him all the more. She wanted to see him and despite his promise to be back for his dog tag, she didn't believe him. With restless night after restless night, she finally decided to go after him and find him.
She didn't realize what she had cut out for her, for she only knew that he was headed out to Canada. From picking up tidbits of information she overheard, Logan was apparently going somewhere in the West. Probably Alberta, she thought. That was where they had first met, that fateful night at the bar where he had been "working", as he called it.
Marie looked down at her gloved hands, clutching the train ticket ever so tightly. She only had enough for a one way ticket for now. Hopefully, she'd be able to get together enough to get a ride home. She shivered as the wind came blowing through again. She held together the top of her jacket so the cold air wouldn't get inside her coat and to keep her hood from blowing off. Where the hell was the train? she thought.
As if on cue, she heard the faint whistle of the train pulling up. She quickly got up, and picked up her duffel bag in the one hand. Moments later, she was sitting in the warm train car staring out the window as the dreary city of Winchester zoomed by. Everyone back at the mansion thought she still didn't realize what a shot in the dark this was. Finding Logan in all of Canada, with only the slightest clue that he COULD be in Alberta was like finding a needle in a billion haystacks. Scott and Jean had tried to talk to her after Xavier's attempts had failed. What they didn't know was that Marie was fully aware of what she was doing. She knew it was crazy to go searching for Logan in a big country like Canada, but she missed him desperately and longed to see him again. She couldn't risk the chance of him never coming back to Winchester.
She knew what everyone back home thought about what she was doing. "You're crazy" Bobby had said, "Are you sure about this?" Jean had asked. It was easy for her to say that. She HAD the one she loved with her every day. Marie loved Logan, even if he didn't know it.
She sat in silence, in deep thought. She recalled the things he had said to her during the short time they knew each other. "I'll take care of you. I promise." How could fulfill that promise when he wasn't around?
To be continued...?
