Interview # 2342- Sabine LeBeau

>Sabine<
Ah really don't know where to start. Mon dieu! This is harder than it sounds!

Try the beginning


>Sabine<
Funny. Tres drole. Ah don't even know where the beginning is!

Think about it


>Sabine<
Yah're no help! Merde! Ah guess Ah should begin with the last time Ah saw Maman and Papa.

It works


>Sabine<
It was the first time Ah think Ah've ever seen them scared. Ah mean, Ah've seen them....concerned maybe...but nevah outright scared. Mais non! They were not dose kinds of people. Yah nevah saw them scared...it was right before the huntas came to N'awlins...it was so long ago. Ah can barely remember.

Try

>Sabine<
Ah'm trying! You're not making it any easier. Anyway, Papa but a hand over my shoulder and he told me to run. Run. Run until Ah found Xavier. Ah didn't even know what that was at the time. They both hugged me. Ah can still hear their voices speakn' to me for the last time.

Ah could swear they were afraid...even though Ah knew that maman and papa never got scared. Never. But they assured me that when Ah got to where Ah needed to go they'd be on the otha side. So Ah ran. Ah ran. Ah didn't look back! Ah was so young! Ah didn't know any better. Sill thought that fairy tales came true and that they'd really be waiting for me.
How old were you?


>Sabine<
Neuf...Ah mean...I was nine.

Did you ever see your parents again?


>PAUSE: 5 seconds<

Sabine, did you ever see your parents again?


>PAUSE: 1 second<

>Sabine<
Damnent! You know the answer to that as well as Ah do!

Answer the question Sabine.


>PAUSE: 2 seconds<

>SOUND: crying<

>Sabine<
No...no...Ah never saw them again! Ah never heard them again! Dey told me dey would be there so Ah wouldn't worry! So ah wouldn't look back! So Ah'd live! Dey were taken to Mutant City if de hunters didn't get 'em already! No! Ah did not see them again! How can ya ask me that! Ah ran and Ah ran an' Ah used the plane ticket dey gave me and flew out to Westchester. Ah always hated airplanes. It was mah first time on one alone. Ah was terrified...pretended the whole time dat it was maman who was makn' me fly, just like she used to pick me up an' give me rides around the yard when Ah was little. An' Ah found the place an' Ah came here. Dat's all there is to tell! Nothn' more! Damnent! It was all mah fault! Ah never should 'ave left 'em. Ah souldn't 'ave run. Maybe wit the three of us fightn' togeatha we would 'ave survived. Or at least, we would've all died togeatha in peace, or we'd all be sittin' togeatha in dat hell-hole Mutant City! But Ah ran like a yellow-bellied coward! Ah ran! Ah ran an' left them alone to face it all themselves! Ah'm sucha coward!

You did what they told you to. You were too young to know any better.


>SOUND: crying<

>Sabine<
Den why do Ah feel so guilty? Dament! Why do Ah feel so guilty? Ah'd ratha 'ave died wit 'em!

Sabine, you're here now. The second to return. Do you regret it?


>Sabine<
Well, Ah guess at least Ah'm doing something about it. But Ah miss them! Ah miss them! Ah wish Ah'd 'ave stayed an' fought wit 'em!

You didn't have your powers yet, Sabine. It wouldn't have helped.


>Sabine<
Ah guess ya're right. The point is, Ah'm here now. Ah'm here in Westchester. Ah was the second to return. Ah fight for the cause. Ah really don' see the point in bring up painful memories. Por quoi...Ah mean...why do ya make us do these interviews?

I need to have them on archive.


>Sabine<
Whatevah. Like ah said, Ah'm here now. Fightn' for the cause 'cause Ah've got nothin' else ta live for...oh...an' also for maman and papa. Ah know dey wanted me ta come here ta fight. Ah'm the oldest known living female mutant out of captivity.

How old are you Sabine?


>Sabine<
Yah know very well how old Ah am.

For the record, please


>SOUND: Sigh<

>Sabine<
J'ai quinze ans...that is...Ah'm 15.
