'Rogue, I never got to tell you that important thing.' Daring said holding
Rogue's hands. Rogue felt a bit uncomfortable…she usually only held Remy's
hand…
'Well, darlin', ya'll got mah attention now. Ah'm listening.' He took a deep breath and looked up with his icy blue eyes. Rogue felt a shiver go up her spine.
'I think…I'm still in love with you Rogue.' Rogue's mouth opened a bit.
'Daring…Ah…' Daring put his fingers to her lips.
'Hush. Don't speak. I know.' He leaned over, bring her closer to him. Rogue didn't move, just sat there and closed her eyes. Daring gently put his soft lips against Rogue's and they melted together.
Rogue…two red eyes stared out from behind a rose bush. They flamed and flickered and seemed to die, turning to ash. Remy's head drooped in defeat. He couldn't watch this anymore. She'd chosen. He got up and walked away, needing to be alone for a while.
Rogue suddenly felt a dark and cold feeling plunge into her heart. She pushed Daring away and looked at him sadly. Then she shook her head.
'No Daring.' Rogue said, 'Ah can't. Ah'm in love with some one else. An he means more ta me than anythin'.' She got up. Daring desperately grabbed her hand.
'But I love you.' Rogue closed her eyes.
'Ah can't say ah feel the same about you.' She tugged her arm from him and walked away, leaving Daring alone.
'Hey Remy.' Stokely said as she entered the room. She suddenly stopped though. Remy was pacing around in the room, his eyes looked dangerous, almost insane. She took a step back. 'Remy?' He looked at her.
'You! It's because of you!' She turned and was about to run, but he grabbed her arm and put his hand under her throat, pushing her against the wall. 'It's all your fault! If you hadn't come in the first place, Rogue would still love Remy!' he yelled. Stokely tried to push him away.
'Remy, take a deep breath…'
'NO! YOU AND THAT FUCKING DARING ARE GOING TO HELL! HELL!' He applied more pressure on Stokely's windpipe. She began to choke and started to hit him. She was too weak to use her powers. She was helpless.
'That's enough!' Remy doubled back in pain as a screeching sound filled her ears. Stokely fell to the ground, clutching her throat, trying to breath. Rogue ran to her side and held her up as she gasped for breath.
'What the hell did ya think ya were doing Remy?!? God dammit, what'd Stokes ever to you?!?' Rogue yelled as Remy stood up, his ears clear now. Remy looked down at Stokes. Her eyes were wide with shock as she coughed loudly, nearly choking. He felt guilty, remembering every detail of his assault.
'Remy's sorry chere…'
'Shut up Cajun. Ah don't wanna here it right now.' Rogue helped Stokely to her feet. Remy squinted, he wasn't used to Rogue calling him Cajun unless she was flirting with him. But her voice was cold, and it stabbed his heart.
Kerri watched from the shadows, biting her lip. She hadn't thought about whether or not Remy was going to hurt anyone. He almost killed one of her friends, dammit…and yet she still wanted him…
