K.K.L: I hope I kept you all in suspense! By the way I think the reason Lance wants Kitty is because he's jealous/possessive/drunk. Sorry, I'll stop boring you so you can read! Lots a thanks to my friend Sara!

Chapter 10

Rogue stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around her waist. Nothing like a hot shower to cool a girl's nerves. She opened the door and suddenly collided with Kitty. Her bare skin touched the younger girls and they both felt as if they were being electrocuted. Kitty fell to the ground unconscious and Rogue held her head in pain. The memory was a painful one and it hurt severely.

*MEMORY*

"Lance stop!" Kitty pleaded desperately, "You don't know what you're doing!" Lance's eyes gleamed with rage and he brought his fist down hard on Kitty's fragile face. The pain was unbearable and Kitty cried out, earning another slap across her mouth. The tears were flowing from her eyes and this seemed to excite him. He roughly jerked off her pants and threw them aside. Kitty quickly covered herself but found her arms being roughly shoved at her sides.

Lance turned her over forcefully and fumbled with her braw clasp. Kitty squirmed but only got a hard fist on the back of her head. It felt as if it had been split in half and it took a lot of self control to keep from bursting into tears and calling for help. Her bra was ripped off of her, causing small red marks where it was torn away. He turned her over and slid his tongue over his lips excitedly. Kitty's breasts were fully exposed and her heart was racing. She had never experienced anything so horrible in her life and she would NEVER forgive Lance for what he was doing. He grinned like a maniac and slid downward and moved his fingers slowly across the surface of her panties. She wanted to scream but couldn't bear anymore pain. In one swift movement her panties were jerked of her fragile legs and she couldn't hold it in. She screamed but was immediately stopped when his fist was once again brought down on her face. Her face had gone numb so she couldn't tell if she was bleeding or not.

"Kitty," he breathed hoarsely, "this is going to hurt." Kitty shut her eyes tightly to keep the tears in. Before a single thought could occur in her head her thighs were ripped apart and he was inside of her, grunting and sweating. She screamed once again. The pain was the worst she had ever experienced.

*END MEMORY*

Rogue's eyes snapped open and suddenly another memory flashed through her head this one more painful than the first.

*MEMORY*

"L-Lance," Kitty stuttered timidly. Lance was glaring angrily at her, his teeth clenched. The alcohol was strong on his breath making her heart race and her head spin with dizziness.

"So," he began scathingly, "did you and Pietro have FUN last night? Was it your first?" Kitty's eyes widened. He thought they-oh no, he couldn't, could he!? Kitty restrained a laugh.

"Oh no Lance it's not like that at all," Kitty began cautiously but she was cut off as a sharp pain seared in her cheek, sending her reeling backwards. She soon realized he had back handed her. She wiped the small trickle of blood away and glared daggers at Lance. The pain was strong but her anger was stronger. She was sick of this! She had to show him that she wasn't afraid of him anymore, by proving a point.

"If you haven't forgotten my powers, let me remind you, I can faze through anything! So that won't work anymore!" Kitty stated angrily. Lances lips curled into an evil smirk.

"Is that so?" he asked. Kitty narrowed her eyes and nodded.

"Yes Lance, now if you don't mind I'm leaving!" she spat and turned to walk away.

"I'll kill him." Kitty turned slowly.

"Excuse me!?" she asked, half frightened, half angry.

"If you don't end the relationship and return to me I will kill Pietro."

*END MEMORY*

Rogue fell to her knees, gasping with pain. She had never acquired such vivid memories and she guessed that it was because more skin had touched. She looked at the motionless figure and wondered vaguely if she had killed her. Slowly she inched over to her and looked down into her face. It was twisted with constricted pain and Rogue felt terrible.

~~Professor, Kitty's injured~~

~~All right Rogue I shall send help~~

Rogue jumped to her feet and began to get dressed.

*IN THE INFIRMARY*

"So that's what happened," she said with less of her accent. The professor looked deeply troubled.

"Rogue, you have never touched that much of your skin to another and I think it may have more dangerous side affects. Indeed Kitty is only knocked unconscious but I think it may have a more serious affect on her powers," he said his eyebrows drawn together in frustration.

"Like what professor?" she asked. It was obvious she had a lot of Kitty's speech implanted into her.

"I think you may have absorbed ALL of her powers or at least most and it will take me some time to find a way to transfer your powers," he said. Rogue never felt so terrible in her life. She had taken all of her friend's powers and knocked her unconscious.

Rogue trudged back to her room when suddenly she recalled the events that had occurred in Kitty's memories. How could Kitty no have told them!? They were a family! And even if not the others why not her!? She was probably afraid. She'd talk to Kitty about this when she was conscious. Rogue flopped onto her bed and instantly fell asleep.
