The rain pounded against the window like bullets as the night grew longer. But the sound was drained out by the noises of the battle. The battle raged on…
Horrible…
Brutal…
Harsh…
"Rogue, Rogue!? You dozed off again, you alright?"
Rogue sat up in her bed. She had indeed dozed off, and she was indeed not alright.
" Yeah, yeah I'm alright, I just need a moment… I, I could use a drink, if ya don't mind. Thanks Kitty."
Shadowcat stood from her position on the floor and walked out of the room. Rogue picked up a large text book which was turned over by the foot of the bed. She flipped through it, sighed, and closed the book. She laid against the headpiece of the bed and closed her eyes.
Awhile later Shadowcat re-entered the room with a glass of water in her hand and Storm by her side. She walked over to the side of Rogue's bed and handed the glass to her. Rogue nodded her head in a thankful gesture and turned to Storm.
Storm watched as Rogue downed the water. "Rogue is something wrong?"
Rogue waited a short time before answering. "No, nothin's wrong. I'm just a little tired, I'll be alright… promise." Rogue waited for Storm to leave the room before taking another sip of water. Then gently placed the cup on the nightstand.
Shadowcat sat once more on the carpeted bedroom floor. She looked back at Rogue who buried her face in her hands. "Rogue what are you keeping from us?"
Rogue's hands started shaking and veins grew visible in her forehead. Her whole body started trembling.
"Rogue? You cryin'?" Shadowcat walked over to the bed and placed her hand on Rogue's back. Rogue lunged at Shadowcat knocking her to the ground and had her hands around Shadowcat's neck in a matter of seconds. Both girls screamed on the floor, sweat dripping down each face.
Horrible…
