"Abhorrence" Part 3

By Enemesis Rogue

She stayed there transfixed to her spot, so that even when he moved slightly to come closer she didn't take a step. She couldn't believe that life had offered her an escape, one which she would use to her utmost advantage. She looked at the mutant who had fallen into a tormented sleep and let out a blissful sigh. Her sigh must have been enough to arouse the mutant, who looked up at her and although he might have been trying to give her a comforting smile all he could muster was his smirk, but that was enough for Rogue, it was more then enough for her.

Hours passed and still they just stayed there enveloped in their thoughts, ignoring the screams of the others, for in both their minds they believed that the others deserved their pain. Rogue wanted nothing but to either end her own misery or to runaway and try to find absolution, perhaps the mutant who now held her would accompany her. She wondered what he thought about as the screams threatened to pierce both their ears.

In fact the man next to her had thoughts about a great many things, contemplations on how to escape, thoughts about his own betrayal and how he himself had been misled, but weighing most heavily on his mind was the creature nestled up against him. A woman who could not rightly be called just that, for she was a goddess, an unobtainable goddess, but he would find a way around that. He was worried about her, he had seen the looks that the others fired at her, had been there when she was beaten and the others just stood around not protesting with a single word. He had seen the tears that would not dare flow down her cheeks. He had felt the electricity flowing through her as if it had coursed through himself when she held onto the metal bars encasing her, keeping her apart from the others yet right within their grasps. Only now, he found himself with her at least, able to hold her, whisper little things in her ear when she felt that all was over and done with. Stare into her eyes when the whip would connect with her back to let her know that he was still there and that when she would return he'd soothe her pain, in any way he could. He knew that one way or another they would be together and no one would be able to tell him otherwise. He had promised his Rogue to stay by her side, and even if at the time the promise hadn't meant much, it meant the world to him now.

He turned his body to look at Rogue, and found to his disturbance that she was staring right back into his eyes. He didn't want her to look into his soul, for surely she would see the deception and all the lies that he had told her unravel. But she did look into his eyes, and now he, Pietro would be helpless to stop the events that would come next, the conversations that they would be sure to have. The truths that he would be forced to recount. The explanation of his betrayal, and how he hadn't really betrayed her at all. He, Pietro would have to face a fiery goddess, and the scary part was that he didn't care, as long as he could talk to his Rogue, he didn't care if that was going to yelling involved.
