~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Chapter 3*
Rogue woke up to, yet again, the same dream. How mant times were you supposed to have a dream anyways? Rogue became confused. It was probably just a thought or memory from someone else. But she had never before acctually had it over and over, each time it leading to more confusion and curiosity.
Rogue shot back the covers and got up from bed, heading over to the closet. She picked out her purple wrap sweater, black tank-top, black pants, and tennis shoes.She quickly got dressed and applied her pale and dark make-up. She then headed down stairs, joining the other students. She quickly ate and then ran back upstairs for a bit of last min. studying. She pulled a book out and read as quick as she could. She then jammed the book back in her bag and swung it over her shoulder, running downstairs.
Rogue ran outside and jumped into the back of the car with Kurt again. Kitty soon came, followed by Jean who was still combing her hair. They both got in and then came Evan with his skate board. They all crammed inside the car and Scott quickly drove off.
Everyone except Scott, who was busy driving, were studying every bit they could. Not only would they have to deal with exams, but the students making remarks about there powers.
Scott parked the car and everyone got out, walking together toward the door. They walked in and all hurried to their lockers. Rogue grabbed her books and closed her locker, making her way to her first class.
When Rogue entered, Kitty was already there. She took a seat by her and Kurt soon entered, sitting next to her. The class was full of paper airplanes, spitballs, and other trouble making schemes.But when the teacer entered, all the excitement had faded and but there was still a few whispers heard around the room.
"Good morning class. I hope you had a wondefull weekend. But i also suspect that you put in alittle studying time?" She asked. It was more of a statement then a question.
"Yes Miss Johnson." The class chimed. She smiled and sat down at her desk.
"Ok then pencils out." She then went through a folder of test papers and grabbed a stack for the exams. She stood up and started passing them out. Everyone was groaning and giving sour looks.
The teacher placed a test in front of Rogue. Rogue looked at the cover and opened the booklet. She read the first question. She read it over and over but every time she still had no clue as to what the answer was. She thought hard and then remebered reading about something similar to it. She started writing the answer down.
Rogue was now writing answers down eveywhere. She tried to make them seem obviouse and convincing as well. She had to admit, it was very hard. When she had thought all the answers were answered and were correct, she closed her booklet and layed down her pencil.She took up her paper and gave it to Miss Johnson. She looked over it.
"Alright Miss Rogue, you may leave now" She said.Rogue nodded and grabbed her book, walking out. She met up with Kitty outside the door.
"Do you think you did well? I was, like, tottally stumped on question twenty-five...." Kitty goggled on about the test.
"Yea it was pretty hard." Rogue aggreed.
They both entered the caffateria. Scott and Jean waved at them to join them. The nodded in seeing them, then got in line. When they had gotten the food, they sat with the gang.
"Zat tezt waz tottzally hard!" Kurt complained. Kitty nodded.
"I know. I was so freaked!"
"Well maybe you'll get a good grade and you'll be proud of yourself then." Jean said in a most annoying voice to Rogue. Jean and Rogue were the most opposite of any other team members. Jean was Miss perfect to Rogue. Captain of the soccer team, a perfect boyfriend, pretty, neat, tallented, etc. And Rogue...what was Rogue? She had none of that. She had always thought of Jean as the one who got anyone she wanted. And even though she still thinks of her as miss popularity, Rogue knows they're on the same level now. All of them were. They were freaks to everyone.
Rogue pocked at her food, having no interest in it. While Kurt wasn't looking, she spooned it all on his plate. She took up her tray and put it on the other trays. Soon Evan and Kitty came up and dumped their food in the trash and stacked there trays up too.
Evan yawned, "Dang i'm pooped from that exam. And to think we still have another. And then two more the next day!"
They all groaned again. Life just wasn't fair. Rogue swung her bag over her shoulder and walked toward her locker again. She stuck her bag in her locker, when a note fell out. She bent down and picked it up, she then started to read it.
'Meet us in the back of the school at sunset tonight. Come alone.'
Rogue reread it again and then thought for a moment on the subject. She looked around her to see if anyonew as watching, and then stuffed the paper in her notebook. She decided she would go. The mansion wasn't that far from the school so if she got in trouble, the team would most likely come.
Rogue then walked down the hall toward her next exam. It was pretty much the same: Teacher knew they studied, the students moaned and groaned, the exam was boring, hard, and tireing.
When Rogue finished she took up her paper and handed it to the treacher. He took it, looked over it, and then nodded, motioning that she could leave. She walked out of the classroom, with Kurt, and waited for Evan to finish. It seemed the waited forever until he finished. He finnaly handed in his paper and walked out to join them. They then walked down the hall, carrying a conversation about the exam.
"Dang that was so hard! There should be a law about having kids take exams and quizzes."
"Why?"
"Because then i wouldn't have to do them, duh!"
Rogue rolled her eyes and then through her bag into the locker once again. She didn't feel like doing anything except going home and her back resting on her bed. She closed her locker and went over to Kurt's locker. When he finished they met Kitty and Evan at the main door, with all the other x-men.
"Hey guys how were your exams?" Scott asked. He smiled over at Jean and Rogue scowled.
"They were a danger to our brains!" Evan said. "I'm serious! They should have tests that you could at least answer the questions."
"I answered them"
"Yea me too"
"Zorry man but i alzo couldz"
Evan blinked and then cursed under his breath. Rogue sighed and headed out the door. The others made more conversation and then joined.
Rogue looked over at the sun. It was halfway between mid-day sun and sunset. She soon became curios and was acious to so who had made that note to her. And if it was just another school prank, she swore she would never come back.
"Rogue got in the car, followed by the others. Scott buckled his seat belt and they were all off, unoticing someone watching them. Or more likely: Rogue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was relaxing on the couch and seemed to be resting, when the Proffesor came in.
"Everyone i have some bad news. Some very bad news. While Ororo and Logan were out searching for the final key, so was mesmero. They had discovered where the key was and went to retrieve it but mesmero had gotten to it first. He has Storm and Logan in his mind games now."
Scott shot up, "Well have you found out where they are?"
He shook his head in a no fashion, "No we have not. I still have Hank trying to figure that out."
Everyone was up now. All looking worried, especially Evan and Rogue.
"We gotta go save my Aunt, Proffesor!" Evan yelled. Rogue nodded. She had felt so close to Logan. How could proffesor have sent him?
"Yea! And Logan! They could be hert proffesor!" Rogue yelled also. Her heart was feeling rage and sadness. They had to find Logan. Ororo too. What if something rally bad had happened to him? She could do nothing.
"I don't know Rogue. But were trying our hardest to find them."
"Try harder!" Rogue and Evan yelled together.
"We will try. Now please everyone you may go to your rooms. No danger room sesions today. But tommorow you will be training. Apocalypse is on the branch of rebirth. I have no idea when he'll arrive, but nothing will stop him." With that said he turned his wheel chair around and left.
Everyone was staring at the ground, all lost in thought. Rogue and Evan looked at each other. They all then started exiting the main room to go to their rooms. Rogue and Evan were last to leave. They both got up and went up the stairs, entering their bedrooms after that. When Rogue entered she went straight out to the balcony and sat down on the railing.
Rogue stared out at the sun lit sky. It was purple at the coming of sunset. Rogue then realized that she forgot about the note. She looked at Kitty, who's back was turned to her. She decided she would go so she would. She took hold of a gutter pipe while still holding onto the railing. She then jumped softly land on the roof of the lower floor's main room. She softly walked over to the edge and went to the side, where she wouldn' be seen and jumped off. She then made a dash for the gate.
When Rogue made it to the gate, she climbed over it. She was now in the safe zone. Or maybe she was. Rogue ran along the road toward the school. Sunset was almost here. She ran faster and soon saw the school up ahead. She walked onto the school grounds and around to the back, near the soccer field. She looked around and saw no one. She dicided to wait a few more minutes.
Rogue soon got tired and decided this was all just a prank they pulled. She stood up and wiped the dirt of her, then started walking away when someone called her name. She turned around. At the other side of the field was someone in a black cloak. It reminded her of the grim reaper.
Rogue stood there, her heart pounding against her chest. She then found her voice and asked, "What do ya want?"
The person just stood there, not moving. Rogue's heart bagan to beat faster. She watched it.
"I need...i need..." He spoke again. His voice was heart clenching. It sent shivers down her back.
"You...need w-what?" Rogue stuttered.
"Do not...be affraid. I need...your help" Rogue's legs were shaking and she didn't know if she could run if she needed to.
"With...w-what?" Rogue stuttered again. She couldn't make herself talk.
Rogue watched the cloaked man/woman for awhile. Then as she blinked he was gone. Rogue's heart sped up again and she looked around. Then she heard a raspy breathing behind her, hot air flowing upon her neck. She jerked around and he grabbed her wrist, uncovered by her glove.
"No don't!" Rogue yelled. She could feel the creature inside her now.
"I must, child." The creature said. This was no man. For he knew her powers. Rogue flinched at all the memories and soon the absorbtion became unbearable.
"Please...stop" Rogue pleaded. The creature held on until he feell to the ground. He still didn't let go. But when his entire psyche was inside her, he did.
Rogue backed away, holding her head and crying in pain. What had happened to him? Why did he want her to absorb him? It hert so much. She wished someone would just kill her right now. She forced her eyes open to look at the creature, dead and lying on the ground.
"Why'd...you...do..that" Rogue gasped. Even thought she knew he couldn't answer because he was now dead. Rogue continued to cry in pain.
Soon eveything was to a point where she could atleast walk home. She shook her head and ran back, pain feeling her bones to the core. She re-entered the mansion gates, and climbed back up to her room.
Rogue layed down, still clenching her aching head. She wanted to just die. What had she done? First she becomes a mutant, everyone finds out, Logan is captured and being tortured about now, Rogue couldn't do anything. Then Apocalypse has the third key and a creature just comes and touches her, giveing her his everything.
Was that creature scared and thought death was better? Was he running from someone? Or was he working for someone?
Rogue layed there while these thougth flew through her head. She couldn't forget it. She had killed a creature. She hadn't known why. He just showed up and made her absorb him. Rogue took the note from her notebook and tore it into pieces na threw them away.
Rogue looked over and saw that Kitty was gone. Rogue tried getting up but her legs wouldn't let her. So she layed back down. Now that Kitty knew she was gone, did she go tell the proffesor? She couldn't tell anyone she had accidentally absorbed someone she had no clue about. He could be dangerous, thats what the proffesor would say. He would say, 'You could've gotten hert aroun him,' but look hello pain is the same as hert.
She heard Jean downstairs yelling, "Dinner is ready!" Rogue fought whole-heartedly to get up. She finnaly did and started to walk out of her room. Every step she took was like losing a leg over and over and having it jabbed with spikes while she still had feeling in it. She finnaly made it out of her room and downstairs. She headed for the dining room and walked in. Everyone was already seated, helping themselves to food. Evan still seemed distant,like her. She understood, his aunt was out there with her, foster-like-dad.
Rogue took a seat next to him. She sat down easily. Every bone felt the same as her legs. And her head was just unbearable.
"Umm Proffesor?" Rogue asked. He looked up.
"Yes Rogue?" He asked back.
"May ah be escused?" She asked hopefully.
The proffesor nodded and Rogue got up heading back up to her room. She layed down, pullign the covers over her. She was freezing evern thought it was almost the summer and the temperature was high. She held her head, rubbing her fore-head. She soon fell asleep. The dream went further that night, She had entered through the door to a bright room. There were three doors inside. She saw two open, and a man taking a key and about to insert it into the next. And then she found what she was looking for. The gashed and bloody, Logan and Ororo, tied up in a corner........
