Rogue's head moved from side to side and she screamed out loud in pain.
The professor leaned forward and put his hands either side of her head.
When he entered into Rouge's mind his head ached with pain and the strain of trying to ignore pain.
The professor could tell these were Rogue's feelings but there was something else Rogue was hiding.
Her desperation for Scott and how she longed to touch him, for him to help her.
The professor knew this was the only thing keeping Rouge sane and he could tell Scott was planning something.
He got out of her head and turned to storm.
"Scott has planned a way to help rogue. I'd say he's going to do it tonight. We need someone to stop him or he may well hurt him self," said the professor.
"Of course. I'll stay watch," said storm.
"Thank you Ororo. I think it best I go and try to talk to Kurt. He might be able, with some family therapy, to help Rogue back to sanity." said the professor.
"Should I stay now or?" asked storm.
"I've just called jean to watch. You just go on with your session with the youngsters," said the professor.
"Thanks Charles." smiled storm before she flew out the room.
Charles wheeled back to his office, where Kurt was already waiting for him.
Scott sneaked back into the medical room, holding the ring and watch.
He saw Rouge strapped to the bed with her head moving form side to side.
He put the ring on Rouge's thumb, careful not to touch her skin.
He put the watch on and softly touched Rouge's forehead.
He found him self sat in Rouge's mind, at a table opposite Rouge.
"Rouge where are we?" asked Scott.
"Scott you don't have long in here. But listen, I've loved you with all my heart since we met. But Scott you need to understand, that nothing save me from this. You may be keeping me sane, but eventually this curse will take me over." sighed Rouge touching Scott's hand.
"What curse?" asked Scott.
"That I am to slowly go insane from loss of male touch. It's been happening steadily These past few year only unnoticeable to everyone but Me." explained Rouge.
"But Rouge, I love you. There most be a way to stop this." said Scott taking Rouge's hand in his and squeezing it.
"Not that I know of." said Rouge.
"Rouge there must be a way to help you," said Scott.
"I'm sorry Scott. You need to let go of me Scott and of your feelings for me. It's for the best," said Rouge kissing him.
Scott found himself stood beside Rouge; her thumb ring had fallen to the floor.
Her hair was completely white and her skin pale, like milk.
Jean walked in and saw Scott looking dejected.
"She'll be fine Scott." assured Jean hugging him.
Scott couldn't speak as Jean hugged him, the words that Rouge had said were still echoing in his mind.
"You OK?" asked Jean.
"Yeah I'm fine," said Scott as Jean moved away and sat down next to Rouge.
He picked up Rouge's thumb ring from the floor and put it on the bedside table with the other rings.
He then walked back to his room and threw his useless watch to one side.
He was losing Rouge and no one or nothing could help her.
