" Umm…Kurt…could ya hand mah the pepper?"
He shook his head a little to wake up. " Sure." He grabbed the pepper and handed it to her.
Rogue waited until he got close enough. She wrapped her hand around the pepper while still in Kurt's hand. Then suddenly she bit down on to her other gloved hand and pulled it off. She immediately touched her brother's face, let go, and ported away, only leaving the smell of brimstone behind her.
" Damn her." Logan grumbled, leaving the perplexed teenagers in the kitchen.

Chapter 4*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)
Pietro abruptly stopped and looked strait at Lance. A satisfied smirk grew across the speed demon's face. He started to laugh uncontrollably. Lance warily stepped backward, almost tripping over his own feet. ' That smile… that wasn't like the old Pietro. He's suicidal. I've never seen anyone… so intense looking. I can't describe it.' Lance was speechless. Pietro continued to laugh. Everybody was taken aback by Pietro's s actions.
" Pietro… what's…why are you like this?" Lance stuttered out. He couldn't believe his best friend was pretty much suicidal.
" Why?" Pietro laughed again, the blood continued to flow down his pale arms. " Something inside tells me to. I can finally stop running… I can slow down for good." His eyes were glazed over, like he didn't really care.
" So how the hell do you expect to get Rogue back like this?" Wanda sneered at her twin. ' You're just like him."
" Always about him… and how so this time… that you wish we were both dead? Well you have one that you wont even have to kill yourself." Pietro smirked, he knew of whom she talked of.
" No, you're both pathetic weak fools!" Wanda screamed. For the first time in years, tears claimed her eyes. In disgust that she would actually cry, she ran up to her room and locked the door. Everybody was surprised, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch cried.
Pietro didn't move. " So there is a heart trapped in that witch." Toad seemed infuriated by the remark.
" Don't talk about Wanda that way!" Todd screamed.
" Todd, lay off it, she's always been cruel. There are some things you don't understand…like this situation for instance. Now let me go, I have nothing worth talking to you guys about." Pietro spat. Todd still seamed ticked off, but calmed down a bit once he received a look from Lance.
At first Lance was shocked. ' Well you have one that you wont even have to kill yourself…I'll save you the trouble.' Lance was hurt by the remark…especially since… " You never answered Wanda's question though. How do you expect to get Rogue back with you like this?" Lance asked curiously.
Pietro fell limp in Fred's arms. There was no longer a struggle. Fred had to have as much will power he could muster not to drop Pietro, for his blood had small streams down his gigantic hands. Pietro's eyes loosened. They lost their icy blue luster, and went a pale gray color. " I don't expect to get her back."
Lance was shaken. Pietro his egotistic friend, admitting that the love, yes love, of his life would never return to him. And accepting it! Lance raised his fist and rammed it across Pietro's lean face. " I don't want to hear shit like that. Especially from you!" The silence was brutal to the four of them. They all froze there, unable to find the words. Finally, Lance did the most rational thing he could think of. " Fred you can put him down now." Fred dropped him and gapped at his scarlet streaked hands. Pietro got to his feet, shook his head and looked directly at Lance. Tears soon filled Pietro's eyes. They fell down his creamy skin, leaving silver trails.
Lance's eyes grew wide. He'd never seen Pietro cry. He blinked, and Pietro was gone. Lance got upset. He punched the wall next to him, more than once; droplets of saltwater covered his cheeks as well. He grabbed his keys, still angry and sad at the same time. The rock tumbler opened the door and slammed it behind him. Fred was busy washing his hands and Todd was in shock.
" Damn, yo" Todd muttered to his friend. Fred nodded in agreement.

Kitty had seen her friends plan to escape when she got the gleam in her eyes. She didn't say or do anything to stop her though. ' Rogue what can I do to help you?' Kitty phased up to her room. She glanced out the window and saw a cloud disappear and reappear in the far distance. Kitty plopped down onto her bed. She raised her hands and put them behind her head. ' I have to keep my distance from Scott. If I like get close to him, he'll ask questions. I wish for once, I didn't like know all the details.' It was definitely a first for Kitty. ' I know too much for my own good.' Kitty just continued to stare at the white ceiling above her. Thinking about what it is she could do to help Rogue, her best friend. ' There has to be a way…that I, Kitty, could like help Rogue all on my own.'

Turn her over
A candle is lit, I see through her
Blow it out and save all her ashes for me
Curse me sold her
The poison that runs it's course through her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over
Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
With strawberry gashes all over
**
Kitty started to cry again. Scott knocked hard on the door. " Kitty let me in! Is that you crying?" He yelled.
" Go away Scott!" Kitty's shattered voice squeaked out.
Scott calmed down, adjusted his voice, and made a big decision. " Kitty listen, I didn't come to you for answers, okay?"
Kitty was slightly surprised by her leader's words. After a minute passed, she slowly walked up to the door and unlocked it. She opened it and went to lie back down upon her bed.
Scott took it as an invitation and came in. He sat down on Rogue's bed. " Kitty I know that you somehow know more than all of us… but that's not what I'm asking for. I was really wondering…well… how are you holding up?"
Kitty couldn't take it anymore. Her and Scott had never really talked and got along, but Kitty broke down right then and there. She ran over to the older teen's arms. She started to cry hysterically. Scott hesitated at first, but he wrapped his arms around her.
" Scott… I know too much. I wish I didn't know. I followed her and I saw stuff. Then I came in here without knocking. And I gave her chocolate, which I shouldn't of. And I saw him too! They both are! Except he drinks. And now she left. And I don't know what to do!!!" She cried out.
Scott didn't understand a word of what she meant. He got clues here and there, but nothing he could really translate came out of the rambling valley girl's mouth. Scott just continued to pat her back and told her it's going to be okay.
**
Called her over
And asked her if she was improving
She said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here
Hex me told her
I dreamt of a devil that knew her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over
Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
With strawberry gashes all over
**
Scott finally got up and left when Kitty had lessened her crying and went to lie down on her own bed. Scott glanced at Kitty one last time. She looked so fragile and lifeless. Like the slightest movement could break her, but within that, she seemed stronger. Almost like she knew that she had to do something on her own, without any help from anyone. Scott shook his head in disbelief. Kitty looked so old and worn, way more mature than her age. ' I'm sorry you have such a burden to carry Kitty.' Scott then disappeared down the hallway somewhere.
Kitty continued to stare at the ceiling. She looked up thought about everything. ' I will help you Rogue, no matter how much you protest. I can help you, on my own.' She gripped her fist and flung it into her wall. ' I see why Lance does that a lot.' She thought half-heartedly. ' Soon everything will be okay. I'm sure of it.' Kitty continued to stare at the ceiling, still unable to look away from the pale roof.
**
I lay quiet
Waiting for her voice to say
"Some things you lose and some things you just give away"
Scold me failed her
If only I'd held on tighter to her
Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me away from me
Watch me lose her
It's almost like losing myself
Give her my soul
And let them take somebody else get away from me
Watch me fault her
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
With strawberry gashes all over all over me

Sc: I didn't know quite how to end that one, so I just left it with the song as the ending. I hope it was okay! My muses aren't here to talk, they both fell asleep *cough* together, complaining they were worked too hard. Ha! Anyway, end of discussion. The double words in the lyrics, that's how the song is. Oh if it wasn't obvious, Strawberry Gashes means pink colored scars that are left after someone cuts himself or herself. I was just saying that because I my friends heard the song and didn't know what it meant, so just incase you are as dumb as them…lol just kidding. Well, I think that about wraps it up. Well, byes now!
MR: *still asleep* Review * moves around* ohhhh Pietro…sooo…warm and cuddly. * snores* my sexy little Pietro.
Sc: Awwwwww!!!! How sweet! ^^;
