A few days had past an Etinnte was starting to get use to the mansion.

He was quite the ladies man. Much like his father. He helped Storm

with her garden, He help Jean cook, He played a few pranks with

Jubilee, and of course he help out with Rogue. He even told stories

to the babies, everyone even the professor marveled at the boys

imagination. He slept in a room ajacent to Rogue an Gambit's.

Every night he would run through the house kissing all of it's

residents.(Yes even Wolverine.)Goodnight. He was happier than he

ever was in New Orleans. He got to play in the yard an Everyone

liked him. Not like at home he was almost always kept in the house

For fear he would be taken to the thieves guild. None of the Assians

had ever shown him kindness. In fact he remebered one time he was

whipped for not fighting with one of his cousins. He was kind of sad

at first beining the only kid in the house, but that was before he had

actually hung out with Bobby an did pranks with Jubilee. He did

wonder about Tante Matte an how she was gonna handle his

momma, But she had told him not to worry 'bout a thing. Still he did

but it also felt like everything would be alright.



Back in New Orleans Tante Matte slowly walked to her house in the

garden district.The air smelled of an impending rainstorm an the

humidy comferem it. The streets were quite to quite. She looked

around she saw no theives in the shadowes nor assiasains. She

stopped an turned to Jean Lucs house she froze as she was smoke

rising in the distance. She then turned towards Belle's house and saw

the same putrid smoke. She didn't think as she ran towards the guild

what had happened she wondered an more importantly was anyone

alive. She ran till she reached Belle's house it was engulfed in flames.

She saw a few people on the lawn an ran to assit them. She saw no

sign of Belle. She ran to a near by male. He choked out that a dark

haired woman had came to seek the assitance of the guild an the next

thing they knew the house was on fire. Tante froze she sucked in a

breath of air an asked "Where be Belle?" The man's voice choked an

he looked in to her eyes. "Belle was in the house when the roof she

fell'' Tante hung her head she was to strong to cry but dark clouds

from the heavens soon poured a harsh rains that echoed what she her

self felt.



The mansion echoed with the screams. Etinnnte had a nightmare and

was now screaming at the top of his little lungs and sobbing

uncontroably. Gambit was the first in the room followed by Rogue

who held the child an stroked his hair murming soft little things that

made things alright. Logan burst into the room followed by over half

the mansion. The Professor came to the boy who held on to Rogue

for all he was worth. The Professor along with Rogue, Logan, Storm

Gambit an Jean had pieced togather the boy's nightmare. After

assuring him all was well the X-men went back to their rooms.

Etittne looked at Rogue and Gambit an begged to sleep in their bed.

At first Gambit thought of objecting till Rogue shopt him the look

then he knew he had lost before it had started. He climbed in to bed

right between the two an quickly snugged up to Rogue he took

delight in feeling his sibilings kick at him.While Remy had to delight

in small icy feet on his stomach. "Merde" he thought dis gonna be one

long night.



The sun had crept in the window an Remy woke up with a horrible

pain in his neck an a forty pound weight on his chest he woke up

groggily to see his son sprawled out all over the bed. The majority

was actually on him while he at some angle was almost in the floor.

He moved trying not to wake his boy up. He failed. Etinttne slept like

him also light. His eyes flew open an he was ready to fight. Though

uncertain who or what . Remy looked at him sadly they had already

started training his boy to be a killer. Had it not been for Tante Matte

the boy would have had no childhood.Etinttne soon realized where he

was an sat down on the bed rubbing his eyes. "Why we up papa." he

asked his voice thick with sleep. Remy smiled an lifted him up on to

his shoulders. "Cause ma petite fil we gott go get or chere's

breakfast,". Etinttne hugged his dad tightly an Remy had to smile.

He was such sweet a kid.They went down stairs an in to the

kitchen. A full breakfast was a ready to be served. Remy sat

Etintte down and filled his plate with bacon an eggs an biscuit. He

also had a bowl of cereal, a glass of milk an juice. Remy got a

piece of toast an a few pieces of hot sausage. Jean smiled up at

them. The ther X-men ate quickly. Bobby had iced Jubillee's juice

an she proceeded to paf him under the table. Wolverine looked up

from his coffee an paper. Etintte looked at him an grinned. He

looked at his daddy an asked if they could take Rogue her breakfast

now. Remy put her favorite things on a plate an Etintte walked

with the plate carfully up stairs. Remy was following when the

phone happened to rinh since he was closer to the phone an the

others were eating he answered. " 'allo Xavier's School." A boken

voice was on the other line. "Remy, the guilds be gone." Remy'

went numb as the voice told all the horrific details. Of the

mysterious black haried woman, an how what was left of the

assasians had burned down the theifs house thinking they were at

fault. Remy sat back against the wall his mind was reeling. He

asked if he neede to come home the other person told him it would

be alright that they felt he needed to know. He was told what was

left of the guilds had scattered and when to join with other guilds.

He thinked the person an hung up the phone. Jean came around the

corner an saw Remy. She hurried to him. "Are you okay Remy,"

He looked at her a tear had started to form in his eyes. "Dey gone

chere the guilds be gone." Jean tried to soothe him but his eyes

traveled from her to the door that Rogue was in. Jean followed his

gaze then froze remebering the dream Etintte had last night. Her

thoughts echoed one of Gambit's "He knew."
