VACATION
CHAPTER 2: THE GUEST
Rogue could hear muffled noises, and slowly began to wake up. When she tried to look around everything was blurry. She brought her hands up to her face and began groggily wiping away at her eyes. She was trying to remember exactly what happened when she heard the voices. O gawd, someones comin'! She realized, and scrambled to find a hiding place. But due to her drowsiness, she got her feet tangled up in the sheets and crashed to the ground.
===================
Remy rolled his eyes as Tante Mattie continued to lecture him.
"Now chil, ya know ya can't go bringin some girl you met at the bar here! Especially when ya don know who she is or where she come from! She could be a spy, and don't you go Rollin yer eyes at ME Remy Lebeau!" She said shaking a finger at the boy for emphasis.
"Tante, calm down." Started Lapin "It ain't like that."
"Tell me how it ain't like that." She said looking at Lapin but pointing at Remy who was looking off in the direction of the girl's room.
"We didn met the femme at the bar. We was leavin, when Belle and some of her guild showed up." Tante gasped and raised a hand up to her mouth.
"Were either a ya hurt?" She asked with concern. Lapin simply laughed at this and began following Remy down the hallway.
"Nah, Mattie, dere were only 6 of dem, besides." He was cut off by a crashing sound coming from the girl's room. The next thing he knew, Remy had pulled out a card, charged it up and kicked in the door.
===================
"OW!" Rogue cried out when she hit the floor. Scrambling to get up, she was startled when the door flew open and she saw the figure of the boy she had tried to help in the alleyway, holding another glowing object. "O ah don't think so swamp rat!" She called out, charging towards him.
Remy had hardly noticed the figure moving towards him. "Swamp Rat?" He questioned, when a fist came flying at his face. He grabbed the girl's gloved hand, when she went to punch him with the other one. "Now chere, what do you tink' you are doin'?"
Throwing another punch she replied. "Stoppin ya from takin another cheap shot at meh!" She noticed the confused look on the Cajun's face, so putting her hands on her hips she stated. "First, I try an help ya all an ya knock me out. Then ya kidnap me an attack me as soon as I fall out of bed - and ya are the one who looks confused?!?!"
Trying to make light of the situation, Remy says. "Now chere, I didn' know you had fallen out a da bed. I thought someone had broken in." Giving him a skeptical look he added " Maybe if you were a little..lighter" he started as his eyes went down to her waist "it wouldn't sound like an elephant was in de room." He put a mischievous smile on his face, while hers went bright red. Not a good idea? He silently asked himself when the girl went to take another swing.
===================
Rogue couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. She tries to save his life and he calls her FAT?!?! With all her anger Rogue took a swing at the guy, but he moved out of the way. And being as tired and weak as she was, the momentum continued and pulled her down towards the floor.
===================
Remy had moved before the girl's hand made contact, but regretted doing so as soon as he saw her fall. He quickly went over to her and went to help her up.
===================
Rogue groaned, her body hurt all over. She shook her head to try and get her thoughts straight when the Cajun boy bent down to grab her arm. "Don't touch meh!" She yelled and noticed him back away. She hadn't meant to offend him- she just wanted to prevent him from getting hurt. But she realized now how silly that was seeing as how she was still covered. Placing her hand on the ground to push herself up she let out a small whimper. Guess ah hurt mahself more then ah thought.
He could see that the girl needed help, whether she wanted it or not. So before she could protest he bent down and picked her up, carrying her back over to the bed. She seemed so light, yet Lapin said she had taken on the Assassins. How could dis petite take on trained killers? He wondered, laying her down gently on the bed. The girl hadn't struggled, but crossed her arms and refused to meet his eyes. Remy sighed and sat down on the side of the bed, causing her to jump.
"Petite, Remy not gonna hurt you," He said making eye contact "and I hadn't seen you in the alley until AFTER de explosion. Den my brother," and Remy turned to look at him standing in the doorway with Tante Mattie who in return gave a smile and a wave to Rogue "tell me you was helpin' us out. So we brought you back here."
===================
The boy's eyes seemed to be pleading with her to believe him, and she did. But she still had a lot of questions. Like who were those people in the alleyway? Who was he? And where had they brought her?
===================
Reading the inquisitive look on the girls' face Tantie Mattie thought it best to step in. "Boy what are you thinkin?!?!?" She accused the him. "You haven't even introduced none of us proper!" She continued shaking a finger at him. Rogue found the woman's antics funny and couldn't help herself from smiling. The woman turned her attention back to Rogue and smiled. "My name's Tante Mattie. The fellow by the door is Lapin," Lapin gave a wave from the door "And this here, is Remy." Who gave a bow after hearing his name. "What's your name chil?"
Rogue was caught slightly off-guard by the question and wasn't sure what she should reply. Rather shyly she whispered "Rogue." Which received an odd look from the 3. Feeling uncomfortable and not wanting to answer anymore questions she asked Tante. " Now if ya wouldn mind tellin meh where ah am." When she caught a look between the woman and Remy. Wonder what's goin on? She thought.
===================
Tante made sure to stop Remy from saying anything. That boy'll do anythin to get a girl's attention. Then looking back down at the girl on the bed she said "All that can wait til the mornin. Right now, you need your rest." The girl seemed uncertain and even a little scared, so with a reassuring smile she took a pill from a small medicine bag around her waist. "Honest. Now take this, it will help you sleep." She said handing the pill to Rogue.
Rogue looked down at the pill. The old woman didn't seem to be dangerous and seemed genuine in her intentions, so with a nervous smile she took it. "Ah should let ya know that it probably won't do any good. ya see, ah......" But before she could finish her head hit the pillow.
Tante smiled , tucked the girl in then headed for the door, followed by Remy. Turning off the lights Remy whispered to the sleeping girl "Sweet dreams petite."
