Chapter 6
The passing of the laws

"What is it Logan? What did you find? You look like you have just seen a ghost."
Logan looked up from the letter he was reading and turned to Jubilee who stood
behind him with her arms clenched tightly against her chest. He stared at her
for a moment noticing her bright yellow jacket had holes in them, her glasses
were broken with a lens missing, and her teeth chattered in the cold. Logan
never really did like Jubilee much. Always filling Rogue's head with idea's of
sex and ways to get me into trouble. But for some odd reason, he felt compelled
to help her.

Logan took off his jacket and handed it to Jubilee who at first was afraid to take
it. This gesture from Logan was new and definitely unusual to her.

"It's okay Jubilee. I know what you are going through and the only way we are
going to find her is if we stick together."

Oh my god! Did I just say that? He asked him self while giving Jubilee who
had now accepted his coat a slight grin.

"Here read this."

Logan handed Jubilee the note.

"Dearest Marie,

Finally I have found where you ran too! Please come home. We are
so sorry for the way we treated you years ago. We have come to accept your,
mutation and we miss you so much. We just want you to come home.

Love,
Mom and Dad. "

Jubilee read the letter out loud and looked at Logan questionably.

"What's the big deal about that? Her parents miss her and they want her home."
Jubilee handed the letter back to Logan who was giving her this absent-minded
look.

"You don't know?" Jubilee shook her head no and crossed her arms again
waiting for an explanation.

"Rogue's parent's were killed two years ago in a gas fire. Burned the whole house
down while they were sleeping. You mean to tell me she never told you about
that?" Jubilee stood there in shock and almost in tears. It finally clicked into
her head. If Rogue's parents are dead then it was a trap to capture Rogue again.


"Come on Logan we have to find her!!!!" cried a very upset Jubilee while sobbing.

"I can't. I don't know where she is at."

Jubilee ran up to Logan and started to pound onto his chest screaming and
crying telling him it was his fault for not protecting her like he said he would. He tried to embrace the upset girl but kept getting hit and pushed away.

"You did this Logan. She is probably dead somewhere because you couldn't
swallow your freaking pride. You couldn't admit to her that you loved her and
that the only reason you didn't call or write to her was because you were afraid
you would tell her how you really felt. WELL SCREW YOU LOGAN! Now
how do you feel knowing that you probably killed the only woman in the world
who would love you no matter what mutation you have!?"

Logan stepped back at the harsh words that flowed out of Jubilee's mouth. Never
in his life had he felt guiltier. He knew what she had said was true. It was his
fault for letting his Marie slip away. Not Scooters or The professors. His heart
sank into the floor as he could feel the tears weld up into his eyes. Logan
turned his head away and then back toward the door as he stomped across the
wooden floor. Jubilee's words echoing in his head.

"Find her Logan." Called out Jubilee to him while whipping the tears off her cheek.
Logan nodded and fled out the door and back out to the front of the school.

"Saber tooth, its been almost 3 days since ah have gone to the bathroom and ah
really have to go." Rogue pleaded to Saber tooth while slowly slipping her glove
away from her hand. He looked at her questionably at first. She knew he
wasn't buying it so she had to do something to make it seem like she really did
have to go. So she peed her self.

"Oh my god ah told you ah had to go! If ya don't take me to tha bathroom,
numbah two is going come next!" By now Rogue had the fake tears running
down her cheeks trying to make herself look embarrassed.

"Fine. Stand up." Rogue stood up immediately and began to follow Saber tooth
out of the room. This was the day Mystique was out of town finding more
mutants out there who needed to be "helped." Or in other words, who needed to
die because they are registered. The only two in the building were Rogue and
Saber tooth.

Rogue slipped her glove as far off her hand as she could get it to go. She
lowered her head as Saber Tooth stopped and pointed into the direction where
the bathroom was. She walked passed him slowly as he watched her eyes move
across him, like she was searching for something. Suddenly blackness came
over Saber Tooth as he looked down at the girl who was sucking the life out of
him. He was too busy looking at her eyes to notice that she had been reaching
around to him. She grabbed a hold of his hands and refused to let go. A few
horrible memories of his past came flooding into her head as he fell to the
ground slowly slipping away between the hands of Rogue. Once he slipped into
an eternal slumber, she grabbed his pocket knife and began the attempt to cut
her self loose of the ropes that had bound her from her dear Logan. She was so
close to freedom as the last strand of rope broke. Like a bat out of hell she ran
down the long hallway toward the entrance to the manor. She was finally free
until…
