Title: A Caress of Flame Part II

Author: Courtney, although the original 'A Caress of Flame' was by none other than Aslyin.

~Chapter Ten~

She was running through the jungle hoping to escape her pursuers. She knew what they planned to do with her, and she didn't like it one bit. They planned to ship her off to the island of Genosha, a mutant containment place. She was losing her breath and prayed to God that he would keep her safe. Unfortunately, her prayer wasn't answer. She tripped over a large tree root and collapsed. She tried to get up but her captives had already reached her and put some kind of collar on her neck. When she tried to "flare out" she found that she couldn't. She pulled and pulled at the collar as one of the men threw her over their shoulder. She hated her father for exploiting her the way he had.

News had reached all over the world of The Fire Goddess of Nova Roma. Unfortunately these people had heard as well.and found out what she really was. They had finally reached a large metal looking box that had wheels on it. The opened the side of it and threw her roughly in. All of a sudden.

"AHHHHHH!" was heard throughout the entire mansion. Pyro was the first to reach the princess's room. He was quickly follows by Tabby, Rogue, Emma, and Betsy. "What's wrong, Luv?" he asked quickly as he kneeled in front of her. "I'm SO sorry I yelled at you," she cried. "It's okay, no hard feelings," he said. "I-I think that I l-love you, St. John," she whispered so that only the two resident telepaths could hear her. "We'll leave you two alone, Luvs," Betsy said as she dragged Tabby out of the room. She was quickly followed by Emma who had Rogue in tow.

"I know I love you, 'Mara," he said as he leaned in to kiss her. She met his lips with eagerness. He climbed onto the bed and broke the kiss. "Let's go to sleep, Luv," he said as he layed down pulling her down with him. "G'night, 'Mara," he whispered in her ear as she cuddled with him. "Good nigh, John," she whispered back. A couple minutes later the two fell asleep.

*Down the hall in Emma and Betsy's room*

"They're in love!" Betsy said with excitement while flopping down onto her bed. "Well, it's certainly not unexpected," Emma answered with her own smile. "I wonder when the first kid will arrive!" Betsy said with a wide maniacal grin. "Darling I do believe that you're getting ahead of yourself," Emma said while rolling her eyes, trying to hide her smile at the telepath's crazy thoughts. "Right, well I'm gonna hit the sack as the Yanks say, night Queen-E," she said with a smile as she turned off the light and covered herself up.

TBC.

A/N: Okay the couples are the following: Amara/St. John Marie/Remy Jubilation/Pietro Rhane/Sam Elizabeth/Warren Emma/Bobby Katherine/Piotr Tabitha/Roberto Mercy/Ray.Henri is not gonna be in this fic so obviously she's not with him Wanda/????...There will be someone.just can't tell you who yet Tessa/?????...I have no clue who to put her with Raven/Eric

Also.I'm sure you'll notice that Emma is very OC in this fic.I didn't want her to go around hating everyone.she doesn't necessarily love everyone as well, but you know she's more fun to write when she's nice and much easier when there are so many characters. Also I made her best friends with Betsy cause they're both telepaths and they're both from jolly ol' England.and they're so much alike. I hope you liked the Amyro fluff!!!! The dream might be continued in the next chappy or I might give you fragments of lots of other dreams and put them all together in the later chapters. I'm thinking the later chapters though because that'd be more fun. Well gotta go now!!

Luv ya'll lots, Courtney
