Rogue smiled to herself as Peitro left. She stood up and walked over to the blankets and the pillow he left for her. Getting everything set up as a bed she moved towards the back of the small cave and fell asleep.
Kitty sighed as she woke up and noticed Rogue's bed was still empty. She phased into the hall way and into the bathroom which luckily no one was in it. She headed downstairs to see everyone at the table trying to eat breakfast. "Was she there when you woke up?" Jean asked her.
Kitty shook her head. "I have like no idea where she is." She said taking her seat next to Kurt.
"I still say the Brotherhood is lying." Scott said.
"Either way you kids still have to go to school." Logan said. "With luck Rogue will be there."
"Vell she better be." Kurt said.
"I will search for her again." Xavier said.
"But how can she not show up?" Evan asked confused as the kids looked at they're professor.
"If Rogue is in a small area it is most likely not to show on Cerebro." He told them.
"Have you tried to like contact her?"
He nodded. "I got no response."
Scott sighed as she stood up. "I just hope wherever she is that she's okay."
Ororo nodded. "We'll do a check around the neighborhood and other places while you kids are at school. you better go or you'll be late."
Lance sighed as he knocked on Peitro's door. "Come on we're going to be late!"
"Just go in." Todd said.
Lance shrugged and opened the door. "Peitro?" He looked around the room and didn't see him friend any where. "Great where is that jerk?"
"Well, where is he?" Fred asked taking a bite of his breakfast.
"He's not there. His school bag is gone too."
"Ya didn` hafta bring me breakfast, Peitro."
"I know, but I didn't want you to starve or anything while you're here Rogue." He said smiling at her. "There's also enough for your lunch too. I know I won't be able to get here till after school."
"Don` worry `bout it."
Peitro chuckled. "If you say so and did you want any one to know?"
Rogue thought for a second. "If ya can tell Risty, ah'm all right."
Peitro nodded. "You got it." He said looking at his watch. "I'll be back, I promise."
"Ah know." She said smiling back as he ran off. She shook her head. "This is Peitro, ah'm thinkin` of, ah must be ill." She said feeling her forehead. "No, then why do ah feel weird `round him."
Scott waited near Rogue's locker hoping she would show up, Risty did instead. "Hey Scott, any sign of Rogue yet?"
He shook his head. "None, we searched all over and we can't find her."
Risty sighed. "She'll show up. She's probably just angry at you."
"I didn't think she'd be so mad."
Risty chuckled. "You're kidding me right?"
"What do you mean?" Scott asked confused.
"Forget it. Just find her okay." She said heading to her class.
"Where were you this morning?" Lance asked Peitro as soon as he came to his locker.
"I went for a small run, wasn't sure how long I was going to be." He told him.
"Well, you missed the third degree looks Summers has been giving us."
Peitro looked and saw Risty heading to her class. He would tell her later his news about Rogue. "Yeah, well I have a class with Summers now so I'll get it for the entire forty minutes."
"Yo, come on." Todd said. "Daniels and blue dude are coming this way."
The four guys nodded and went to class. Evan shook his head. "They're up to something."
"Vell they better tell us vhere Rogue zis." Kurt told him. "Maybe Jean can help."
Evan shrugged. "We'll see."
Kitty sighed sadly and hoped that Rogue was okay. She wasn't close to her since Rogue didn't let anyone at the mansion get close to her. She sighed again and finished her work.
"So is it true about the rumors?" Duncan Matthews asked Jean.
"What rumors?" She asked.
"That Rogue is missing."
"She's not really missing." Jean said. "She's just ran away we think."
"Well, if you want me and some of the guys on the team can help search for her. not that we like her or think of her as a friend, but for a favor to you."
Jean smiled. "Thanks Duncan. But you better run that idea passed Scott first. He the one feeling responsible for it."
"No problem." Duncan said smiling.
Peitro watched Risty come out of her class talking with Scott probably wandering about rogue and ran to her locker, slipped a paper in and ran off to lunch. He smiled as he sat down with his tray.
"I don't know. I mean would Rogue leave the state?" Risty asked opening her locker.
Scott shook his head. "I don't think she would. she seemed fine to me while she was at the mansion, she kept her distance from all of us but still nothing unusual towards her behavior." He noticed a folded paper fell from her locker. "Here."
"What's this?" Risty asked.
Scott shrugged. "It fell out of your locker." He told her.
Risty opened it and gasped. "Scott read this."
Scott looked over Risty's shoulder and his eyes widened.
Risty,
Rogue is okay, she will be gone for a while. Do not worry about hr.
A Friend
"Someone wrote this on the computer that's obvious." Scott said. "We can check it for fingerprints to see who else touched it besides us."
"Well, everyone in this school has access to any computer here and printing things out all the time." She said as they hurried to lunch.
"Hey Risty." Kitty said.
"We found this." Risty said putting the note in front of them. "don't touch it. Scott said he's going to check for fingerprints."
"Well, someone knows where she is, but where?" Evan asked.
