Author: msblues

His shirt was soaked through with her tears. Tears of happiness? Tears of pain? She didn't know, all she knew was that she'd been running for a year from everyone like a street rat but there were people who actually cared for her. Even though they might not look it.
Her knees gave way and before she knew it she was on the ground crying even more.
'Don't' cry, don't worry, I won't hurt you'
She felt as her body was lifted off the ground. She was too tired and weak to refuse.
Her body fit snugly in his arms. His overly muscular arms protecting her against the falling snow.
She looked around; the whole area was empty only one lone truck standing in the snow. She looked back from where they were before and took one last glimpse at the sight that would haunt her forever. He was naked from the waist down, blood pouring from his back. She closed her eyes blocking out his face and the things he had done to her.
She felt herself being placed in the front seat of the car. Words of reassurance reaching her ears. She heard as the car revved to life and before she knew it she was sleeping to the hum of the car's engine.

The girl was sleeping. Her angelic face looked so peaceful hiding what was really behind her thoughts.
He definitely thought she was beautiful. He'd been with many women but none as beautiful as she. But Christ, she was a kid, so innocent. Her clothes were ripped from her ordeal, showing off her smooth, tan skin.
His brain was still registering that he said he'd take her. All he knew was that he really pitied the girl and wanted to protect her.
He wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing. He didn't want to stuff it up like he'd done many times. But Christ, was he really doing the right thing taking her, was she lying that she was a mutant. Only one thing to do, wait til she woke up.
The drive was long, at least three days. But he drove on, to the sound of her snores.
~~~
She woke up to unfamiliar surroundings
Where was she? What was she doing in this truck? She looked down at her clothes, ripped and stained with blood and suddenly she remembered, all the frightening images flowing back to her head.
She looked to the Wolverine, the man responsible for her being there and relief flooded her.
She pretended she was till asleep but he had heard her.
'So kid, are you feeling better?' He said, patting her thigh.
'Ah'm fine' she said pulling away before anything could happen, but she could see it in his face. He had felt the pull of his energy, but he didn't question it.
'So..um..what's your name Kid?
'It's Marie'
'Nice name, the name's Logan.'
But..ah thought your name was Wolverine?
'You seriously don't believe that, I only use that name for cage fighting, I got to sound tough you know.' He shook his head, chuckling at what she had said.
She smiled at him; the Wolverine was a soft person. Her life was definitely going to get better.
~~~~
Logan smiled to himself. At least that lightened up the tension between them. It definitely was the right thing to bring her.
Marie. The name suited her well. It fit her. The name was beautiful, just like her.
'So, where are you taking me' her eyes looked up at him questioningly with trust.
'I'm taking you to my house in Banff. We won't get there today, probably in around two days so we'll stop at the next hotel'.
He looked at her, her face was all flushed but she was smiling. 'Thankyou'
He saw as a single tear ran down her face. He lifted his hand to wipe it away but she backed away, the fear back in her eyes.
He scanned her eyes, confused. Why wouldn't she let him touch her? Was she still scared of what had happened back in Laughlin?
'Look kid, I want to help you, but you got to tell me what's wrong. If it's that guy back at Laughlin, he's dead, he won't bother you.'
'No, it's not that. It's..it's mah powers.'
'What's your powers?' he knew he was bothering her, but he had to know.
'Ah can't touch'
'What do you mean you can't touch'
'Whenever I touch someone, I drain their energy from them, I can kill them.'
Everything fit into place, the tingling feeling when he carried her to the truck, like his power was draining, if he hadn't had his healing powers he's probably be dead.
'But why didn't the man that r..raped you get killed?
He watched as she flinched 'Ah can hold it if ah really want to, but not for a long time. Anyway ah get really tired when I hold it. I'm too tired to control it now.'
'I'm sure you can control it, it's probably not that bad.' He saw as she opened her mouth in protest but he patted the covered part of her back' Don't worry, I got healing powers, if I touch you, I can heal'
He watched as her eyes shimmered with trust.
He looked back to the road; this day had definitely not gone how he expected it to go. But he was happy, he truly felt like he had saved the girl's life.
'Here we are' he said turning into a motel's parking lot. 'You can sleep now', but there was no need she was already curled up on the seat, snoring.
He parked the car, and lifted her out of the seat, making sure not to touch her skin. She was so light, now that he thought of it, she definitely needed something to eat.
He headed inside the motel, the motel was very poor; paint peeling of the walls, dirty carpet, broken chairs on the side of the room. The only acceptable thing in the room was the man behind the counter.
He headed to him. 'Can I have two single rooms, preferably near to each other'
'I'm sorry sir, we only got one double bed.'
'It'll have to do' he said thrusting the money in the guy's hand.
'The room is the second to the right'
He grabbed the keys and headed the direction the man was pointing without a word of thanks.
'What a strange couple' the man behind the counter thought, watching as the wolf man stumbled across the room with a young woman in his arms.
Wolverine opened the door to an empty room. The only furnishings were a bed, a bedside table and a fireplace. The small bathroom connected to the room only had a small shower a toilet and a sink.
He sighed; at least it felt like home. He layed the girl down gently onto the bed.
She better not think I'm taking advantage of her, he thought as he took of his shirt and slipped in the sheets next to the girl. ~~~~
