Kitty sighed listlessly. Arising from her her bed that had been ravaged by the nights slumber. Which wasn't exactly perfect. Dreams, dreams of everything, things that hurt, making her scream. Tears wept from sadness that wracked her frame. She couldn't see she couldn't breathe, she just felt so much pain. Grateful, to be awake she walked out of the room. Rouge was already gone, leaving the room barer than she could stand. The wooden floor creaked beneath her feet, toes freezing cold. She hadn't wanted to linger in the room that had made he toes so cold in the first place. She breathed a little looking around.. for.. for anyone.

"Bobby? Jubliee?" She called. The hallway echoed in the silent morning, her uneasy increasing, "You guys?"

She held her breath. Silence. That was all. Closing her eyes, she leaned next to a wall. Kitty wasn't accustomed to this, the.. the emptiness. It was just like yesterday. Where was Rouge?

'Professor? Jean?' She called mentally, concentrating deeply, 'Please answer me!'

She started to run down the hall, hair flying behind her. She could smell perfume, a dark scent that lingered on your senses long after dispersing. Morbid, it was Rouge's perfume.

"Rouge!!!!!" She yelled, stopping in her tracks. Her breath was heavy, chest heaving. Not because she was winded, she was far from that. The training she had received from the institute made her more than prepared for just a bit of running.

"What do yah want?" A familiar voice called. It was Rouge. Kitty walked into view of the bathroom. Rouge sat brushing her her hair softly, strands falling into her face as she looked at her room mate.

"I just.. I could find anyone and.. I just..." She couldn't explain to Rouge how she thought everyone disappeared.. It was so silly that Kitty herself was blushing from her behavior.

"Yeah.. I think they all left.." She replied, "Are you okay? Your eyes haven't been that big since that big sale at the mall."

"No I-" She laughed at herself, "Forget it.. Just had a few weird dreams.."

Rouge decided to be a bit talkitive this morning, "Really about what?"

Kitty bit her lip, should she say pain? That made no sense, she instead decided to lie, "Just about that big test I have in chemistry."

Rouge rolled her eyes, she thought it may have been important. She didn't know why but she had thought perhaps.. Well she didn't know what she was thinking. Her dream had been mixed images of previous people she had absorbed, she could never remember what happens it was always so much. It usually just came out in thoughts, emotions. Last night she had tossed and turned, it was another one reflecting all that was negative in the people she absorbed. Their sadness, their anger, pain. But.. she was used to it. That didn't make it pleasant, but it made it bearable. Many wouldn't be strong enough to handle it.

"Kitty what is wrong with you?" Rouge questioned, the younger girl was dry washing her hands and staring at the floor.

"Um.. nothing I was just like, wondering about breakfast." She lied again, she was doing alot of that this morning. Kitty left the bathroom to go down into the kitchen, convinced that a meal would ease her.
