"Abhorrence" Part 2
By EnemesisRogue
How could she have been so misguided, so disillusioned to believe in the impossible? She sat up and felt an urge to clutch at the bars which kept her trapped, or so they believed. She watched the others silently, knowing they blamed her entirely. She knew that they would never believe that she couldn't have helped them because that would have been death for her, but perhaps they had expected her to make the sacrifice. One by one she assessed the others trapped alongside her, and although they all shared the same fate, she was in this all alone. At one point she would have considered them friends but she soon learned that friends don't exist when in reference to the Rogue. It was time to stop wallowing, but how could she when all she saw around her were reasons to despair.
She stood up and ignored the pain she felt with every step she made. She wondered with sorrow if she would ever escape, and if she did where she would go. Although she knew of the consequences she reached over and with a firm grip grabbed the metal bar nearest her; the pain was excruciating yet she relished it. She held on as if it were a lifeline, as if the electricity now freely coursing through her body were a source of safety. She was oddly grateful that the jolt wouldn't kill her, as it would then provide her a never ending source of pain and pleasure.
"Psst! Stop doing that!" That voice brought her out of her reverie. She looked over in the direction of the speaker, and noticed that the girl had flaming red hair. She refused to acknowledge that she knew the girl, that the girl was one of the ones who had shamelessly betrayed her. Instead she just looked at the girl dumbly and smiled. It brought her an odd sense of satisfaction to see the girl go stomping back to her corner. She however, decided to take a break from insanely touching a metal bar that most people would avoid like the plague and turned back to return to her cot on the floor.
She let out an audible gasp, the first sound she had made since arriving, when she heard the shrill of the alarm. She wondered what it meant. For a moment, she allowed her mind to drift and tried to believe that the sound signaled the end of this nightmare and that she would awaken to when she wasn't a mutant, to when she wasn't a disgrace. To the time when Destiny, or rather Irene Adler as she was known to Rogue, was just a kind soul who would talk to her at the park, not a woman who was watching her very future in her eyes. She wondered if Irene had known of this possibility and had chosen to sit back and watch the events unfold, laughing mercilessly at Rogue behind her glasses.
She was brought back to the current events when she saw the massive doors open and in came another mutant. One she knew well, and although he had been badly beaten, a smirk decorated his face when he saw her; her face must have looked the same.
A.N. Rogue will have at least 2 love interest in this story :the one who is unrequited love (the guy in the first chapter) and her true love so I want you to tell me who you wish who to be:
Unrequited love:
1)Pietro
2)Scott
3) Gambit, (don't see how that could be unrequited love , as he loves her from the moment they meet in most comic book/cartoon storylines)
4) Any one else you can think of
True love
1) Pietro
2)Gambit
3)Wolverine
4)Lance
5) anyone else you can think of
--didn't put scott under true love just cuz I don't see that happening because I don't like that idea..
As always thanks so much for all the reviews I got, I really appreciated them, and I will try to update every Friday as long as I get reviews, cuz the moment I see no one is reading, I'll devote my time to my other fic, but I have to say that I am looking forward to writing this fic, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
