Chapter Five
Remy and Storm stepped out of the car and into the garage. In their arms they held cans of spider spray, fly paper and a cat carier complete with cat. Remy scanned their surrounding nervously.
"Kay, Stormy, I t'ink de coast is clear." They proceeded to walked carefully up to the door, eyes darting around as they did.
"What if they're waiting on the other side of the door?" Storm whispered.
"Merde, how are we gonna get in?" Remy whispered back. They looked at each other in dawning horror.
"What do we do?" Storm's voice wavered.
"I'll open de door. You be ready wit' de spray."
"NO! You take the spray and I'll open the door."
"I don' t'ink so."
"I thought you were supposed to be a gentleman!"
"I never said dat!"
"Quit being such a coward, Remy!" Storm was about to continue when she saw the look on Remy's face. It was pure terror.
"Stormy, don' move," he whispered.
"Oh god oh god oh god," Storm whimpered. Remy carefully reached for a can of spider spray. "Hurry, kill it."
"Don' move," he whispered again. He pulled out the can and aimed it. "RUN, STORM! RUN!!!!" He yelled as tossed the can to her and ripped the door open, racing off down the hall. Just then Storm felt something brush her shoulder.
"EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" She slamed the can onto her shoulder and then took off running after Remy.
"Hey, did you guys here that? Sounds like Storm and Remy are back," Bobby commented laying out his cards. Empty bottles were scattered around them, they appeared to have done a very good job of cleaning up Logan's beer, indeed. Just then Remy skidded into the room.
"Heyyyyyy, Remy, dahlin'" Rogue slurred. She got up from her seat on the floor and stumbled over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Ah missed ya."
"OH GOD!! GET OFF! GET OFF!!" Remy practically screamed as he shoved Rogue away from him and then spun around and took off down the hall. Halfway down the hall he crashed into Storm and they both ended up in a tangle on the floor. "THEY"RE EVERYWHERE STORMY!!" he yelled as he jumped back up and, dragging Storm with him as he ran back to the closet. The door slamed shut moments later.
Rogue stood there for a moment, looking vaguely insulted. She turned to look at the other three. They were all looking at her in horror. "What?"
"There's, um, a spider on your arm," Jean stuttered. Rogue looked down at her arm. She scooped up the spider in her hand. The others all gasped at her.
"Kill it, Rogue," Jubilee said getting up and backing away from her.
"Now why would Ah want to do that, sugah?" Rogue said holding the spider to her. "They're so small, we should be helpin' them."
"Oh god. They've brainwashed her," Bobby gulped. Jean whacked him in the back of the head.
"You moron. She's drunk and not thinking clearly."
"Oh. What do we do?"
"Just back away from her slowly. We don't want her thinking we're going to harm the spiders."
"But we are going to." They heard Rogue growl as she heard that.
"Y'all better stay away from them spiders!"
"Calm down, Rogue. We promise we won't hurt any spiders."
"Ya betta not!" Jean smiled a reasurring smile at her, all the while inching over to where Remy had dropped the cat carrier. When she was next to the carrier she used her telekinesses to unlock the door and open it. The cat leapt out and took off around the corner.
"I can't say anything about that cat though."
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Jean, Bobby and Jubilee took off towards the closet, Rogue chasing after the cat, spider on her shoulder.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Remy and Storm jumped at the sudden noise at the door.
"Um, who is it?"
"It's us Storm. Can we come in?"
"Of course." The door creaked open and Bobby, Jean and Jubilee stumbled in.
"Where's Rogue?" Storm asked.
"She seems to have switched sides."
Remy shot up. "WHAT!? Dey must be brainwashing her!"
"That's what I said." Bobby looked at Jean smugly.
"We have to find a way to kill the spiders and avoid Rogue. We already set the cat lose," Jean explained. Everybody nodded in agreement and began to form a plan.
