Chapter Eight: To The Death

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line.

Notes: I'll try to update as much as I can but I'm really busy this week! OH! I also need to know who you all want Rogue to be paired up with, okies?

Three days later, Magneto walked in the door. Rogue's body was twitching, her eyes were rolled back into her head, and there were cuts along her wrists and ankles from the cuffs. Magneto set his coffee down, and sat down at the control panel where he had originally turned the device on. "Good morning Rogue." He smiled evilly. Rogue could hear him, but she did not have the strength to respond. "I trust you haven't slept in three days or so." Magneto chuckled. He looked at his watch and raised an eyebrow. "Three, two, one." He counted down, and the electricity traveling through Rogue's body stopped. She let out a scream as her body went limp and she hung by the cuffs; trying her hardest to breath. Magneto slowly walked up the steps to the platform. He lifted Rogue's sweaty, tired head, and glanced at the heavy metal collar around her neck. It was not powering up anymore, but it hadn't shut off. Right then, it was completely charged, and would be until it was off. He dropped her head and stood up strait. "Are you ready to join my side and tell me the secrets of the x-men? Or shall I have to continue. Either way my dear, I'm going to get it out of you somehow." He spoke to her calmly. Rogue tried to focus her eyes at him, she barely could; but her glare was still strong and penetrating. Rogue wouldn't give up that easily. "Phu-Phu.Fuck you!" She tried to yell at him, but it only came out as a raspy whisper. Magneto still got the message though. "Very well. Sabertooth!" Magneto called out. Sabertooth instantly appeared in the room. "Have a servant grab my tool kit up in the board room." Magneto ordered him. Sabertooth turned around, and kicked a hooded figure that was picking up some glass caused by Rogue's struggle. "You heard him! Go get it!" Sabertooth growled at the servant. The figure stood up slowly and walked up some stairs. When the servant returned, they carried a large, metal, brief case. They walked up the platform, and handed it to Magneto. Their shackles prevented them from stretching their arms out to far, so the servant had to step close to Magneto. Rogue caught a quick glimpse of the hooded figure. It was a woman! She ad ragged, curly blonde hair, a small mask on, and a worried glimpse in her eye. The woman quickly turned away, and walked down the platform to the area she had been cleaning before. Magneto placed the briefcase on a table with a large smile on his face. He opened it, and picked up something. Inside were several devices that looked rather scary. The one of Magneto's choice was somewhat of a resemblance to a mid-evil mace; besides the fact that did not have a large hole in front. Rogue shivered and shook at the sight of it. Chills went down her spine, and she closed her eyes. Magneto turned around and held it in front of Rogue's face. "Open your eyes child! And stand up for god's sakes! You look like a coward!" He ordered. Rogue felt a shack of anger come over her. She stood up, and leaned as far foreword as possible. She tugged at the chains as hard as she could, but they wouldn't loosen. Instead, they only made deeper cuts. Had it not been for the cuffs, Rogue would have tackled him. "Ah'm the coward?! Your tha one who's a fuckin' coward asshole! Ya kidnapped me, tied me ta this fuckin' life sucker of yours, and ya wont even face me alone!! Ah thought ya were supposed to be all-powerful! What tha fuck ahre ya, some kind of fuckin' chicken?! Can't ya-" She screamed, but Magneto wouldn't let her finish. He brought the weapon accrossed her face, just hard enough to break the skin. Rogue let out a yelp of pain, and tried to stand up again to yell at him, but she was only met with another hit of the mallet. "Silly little girl! You do not event think of what I'm going to do get that information out of you! And I will not tolerate your babbling!!" He said arrogantly. Rogue lifted her head to look at him, "Ya will neva get that information out of me ya asshole. You'll have to kill me before that eva happens." Rogue mustered as much tolerance as she could, and tried not to cry despite the terrible pain she was in. Magneto frowned and raised an eyebrow. He lifted rogue up so that she stood on her feet. That's when he grabbed her face with his left hand and softly stroked it, and made her look into his eyes. "My dear. I do not think you know how important you are. You powers are far much stronger than Xavier has led you to believe. It's a shame that you refused my proposal. You could have been a great ruler. You could have had millions! Your stupid little friends mean nothing compared to your future. So I will ask you this only once more. Rogue, will you join me in my quest to prove once and for all, that mutants are the future?" He spoke calmly, and softly. Rogue was lost in his eyes for a few moments, but then she jerked her head away. "Let's trah this once more Magnata, I stand by what I said tha first tahme, and that's 'Fuck you'!" Rogue quietly said and then looked back up at him to see a surprised expression on his face. He slowly lifted the weapon, Rogue flinched, but he did not swing it at her. He simply placed the end with the small metal hole against her left thigh. "You disappoint me." He frowned. "So to the death is it? Well, we'll just see." He smiled. The last thing Rogue recalled before returning to complete and utter pain was Magneto's fingers moving along his weapon to push some sort of button. Magneto had infact, triggered a large blade that stuck itself into Rogue's side. Rogue let out a cry of pain and blood flowed down Magneto's hand. He instantly jerked it out and Rogue once again was hanging from her cut, bleeding wrists; sobbing. Magneto walked down the platform and ordered several men to continue his work. They followed his orders and grabbed other objects from the briefcase, and started towards Rogue. "We'll just see." Magneto mumbled just before leaving and closing the door behind him. Even when he was yards away, he could still hear Rogue's screams of pain.
