Remy sat on the floor, oposite Pyro, playing a card game that he had
chosen..
"..snap...!" Jhon shouted as Remy set down a card.
"Mon ami, dis is lame.....Remy don usually play snap....."
"Oh come on mate! Its the best card game ever, its class."
"Den you stay ere an amuse y'self whyl Remy go jump off a cliff." Remy said, pointing a thumb behind him.
"Whats up Rem? you seem so low...." John said in a low and almost, mocking tone.
"Don do dat homme!"
"Do what mate...Im just bein sympathetic."
"Y' bein a numb skull, now get y'self a life before it be too late."
"What have I done?"
"Y' takein de piss........."
"Me! Taking the piss! Cuse you got a lill kid for a girlfriend! Mate you dont know me at all." Pyro chuckled.
"She ain no kid John!" He taped his haid and carried on. "In ere she ain no kid. Shes smater dan even you mon ami."
"Well, I gotta admit that she is a fine specemin.......even if she is just a kid mate."
"Remy juss figured out sumtin'."
"Oh yea, whats that then mate?"
"Talkin to you is worse dan talkin to a wall." Remy said as he hit Pyro directley on the top of his head. He got up leaving his cards with Pyro, and started walking away from camp, and when the camp was no longer in sight, Kurt ported infront of him, looking quite annoyed.
"Bonjour.......someting wrong blue?"
"Vell, DUH!"
"What did Remy do dis time?"
"Vell I heard about Logan catching you and my sister zis mornig......so much for ze trues!!!"
"Why does de world hate me t'day, what did Remy do dats so wrong!"
"Listen LeBeau!" Kurt had his pinger poked into Remys chest."I varned you about going near Rogue, and I vorned you about vat I vas going to do to you if you touched her again. Do you remeber vat I said!"
Remy thought back over the convosation that the two had before getting on the jet. He rememberd the threat and backed off slowley.
"Oui mon ami, Remy remembers but dis an de time, Remy got a date wid a cute litle......lizerd?" Remy then turned and Practically ran back to camp, but before he got there, Kurt jumped on his back, leaving him chokeing on dried leaves on the ground.
"Vill you stay away from my sister???"
"Non, mon ami, Remy can' do dat......."
"Vhy not!"
Remy pushed Kurt off of him and stood up, holding out his hand to help Kirt up.
"Cause Remy love De Rogue." Remy said as he glaired at Kurt, his red-on- black eyes shimmering with angar-or annoyence.
Kurts eyes sprung wide open at the comment. He took Remys hand and pulled himself up.
"But vhy? I mean zat, shez so much younger zan you?"
"Y' tellin me dat you never been in love blue... It dont always fit inta y' normal routine."
"Vell, zer is one person......Amanda."
"Den y' know how Remy feel when he ain wit de girl he loves oui?"
"Vell, I guess so."
"S'il vous plait..... Kurt, juss trust Remy wit y' sister, I don wonna hurt her I swear."

"Oui, Remy undestands perfectly."

A whole day had passed since Scott, Jean and Rogue had left the camp, and Storm had set up the communicator in the jet so as they could get in touch with her. Pyro was walking around in the are of the jet where the communicator was, flipping his lighter and holding balls of fire in his hand, and distinguishing them again.
He was used to causing some kind of trouble, usually, but hear there was nothing to do but hang around. He was thinking about how to booby-trap the camp so as he could get scott caught in one of them when he got back. He chuckled at the thought of Scott dangleing from a tree, caught up in rope as he shot red beams of light all over...... He was still chuckleing when he heard Rogues voice over the radio.
"Hello......hello....yall there or not!"
"Ello shila!"
"Pyro? what are you doin there!"
"Im superviseing mate.."
"Right....whatever. wheres Logan."
"I dont know, im not his keeper. Im not his mother ither but that would be wrired wouldn't it."
"Get him, now, flame boy!"
"Alright shila, keep ya pants on...." Pyro hung his head out the door waveing Logan over to him, and Logan stepped inside.
"Whats up stripes?"
"Hay Logan. Ah was just wonderin, you know youre like a Father to me right....."
"Yea stripes.....what about it...."
"Oh nothin', its juss.......never mind."
"What are ya smokin kid.....cause ya need to stop."
"Logan when ahm around you..........."
"Come on Rogue, spit it out what are you tryin t say."
"When ahm around you does it seem like ahm....like, flurtin with you or somethin?"
"Errr......no? Whats brought all this on?"
"Its just Jean being a bitch, ah dont even know what shes tryin ta pove. Anyway, ahm gonna get some sleep now, so ahl see ya in a coule of days. Oh and Logan, say hi ta Gambit for me..."
"Alright stripes. Night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The wind had picked up allon since they left the camp. It was dark but this time there was no moon or stars to look over Rogue, the clouds were orange in the dark sky above the trees as animals scurried around in all directions. Rogue lay down in her sleeping bag and closed her eyes, listening to the wind wip around her sounding like the sea through the russling of the trees.
She turned onto her side looking at the dying camp fire whyl Jean and scott slept peacefully beside it. She tried again to close her eyes but they just sprang open at the howl of something unnerving deep in the trees. She sank deeper into the bag, pulling the covers over her ears as the wind played with her hair. 'What am ah doin hear! This aint fair, ah dont like bein out hear.' She thought as she clenched her eyes closed again.
After an hour of holding herself tence inside the sleeping bag, her eyes began to close, and images of a strange dream flashed infront of her. That night she dreampt pf a gient funnel web spider attacing the mantion and ripping Jeans head off as scott drove everyone away in a tram. The moment she woke up she began to remember the dream, letting out a small gigle at it. Jean wa brushing her hair in a small mirror that she had brought with her, she picked up a pink lipstick and ran it over her annoyingley perfect lips. She set the stick back in her bag and glaned from the mirror to Rogue who was still smileing at the thought of the spider ripping her head off.
"What!" Jean growled.
"Nuthin'!" Rogue snapped with a small smile. Jean just looked beack to her reflection and started brushing her hair aside from her face. Scott had packed up his and Jeans things and went over to pack up Rogues things when she shook her head to him and packed up herself.
"Get off your skanky ass Jean and help!" Shouted Rogue, makeing Jean jump a litle.
"Why, its done now."
Scott picked up his bag, and saw Jean walk off leaving her bag with him, so he picked it up aswell. Rogue growled and took the bag from Scott and sprinted upto Jean, shoveing it into her stomach.
"He ain't ya lacky Jean!" Rogue said as she walked off infront leaving Scott way behind, slightley tierd from halling bags and things about.
He caught up with Jean who smiled at him vindictiveley. A fight had begun in her mind, a fight with Rogue for Scotts effection. Scott and Jean walked behind Rogue talking and laghing like they used to before Jean changed. Scott was happuy about this because when they were laghing, they wernt on the edge of breaking up. Rogue just egnored them as she walked on ahead. The wind was still strong, so she had put her trench coat on to stop the chill. The sound of metal sliceing against metal sounde faint ahead in the trees. Rogue stopped and darted her eyes around the area, not turning her head at all. She set down her bag and walked forward cortiousley as Jean and Scott silenced themselfs wondering what she was doing.
Rogue heared a snap at her feet as she pulled her leg back, she saw a bear trap, she stepped back, and the shape of a woman leaped out of the bark of a tree, her skin turning green with the leaves as she leaped threw the air and touched down on the ground gracefully, revieling yellow and black cat eyes glaireing at her. The womans skin had begun to change into a deap, dark red with dark blue vaines. The figure was balled, and had fang like teeth along with a serpants tongue. The figure pulled back her hand and shot out five blue claws and leaped over Rogue, hitting Jean in the stomach with the palm of her hand, sending her flying, winded into a tree where she passed out. Scott tried to look at her over his sunglasses but she faded out into the scenery.
Scott looked around as he was hit in the bottom of his back, and then his neck and he fell onconchous to the floor. The red skin revield its self again as the woman turned scott over onto his back and leaned her head in closer to his neck takeing in his scent. She tilted her head to the side and snarled as she extended her sharp blue nails agin, this time on the other hand. She held Scotts head up as she slowley brought her nails to his chest.
"NO!" Shouted Rogue. The figure leaped up into the air, fadeing out again and apeard a second later infront of Rogue, who stepped back, startled by the closness of the yelow and black marbled eyes, full of angar and torment.
"It speaks...but what is ir?...." She said with a sliver.
She raised up in the air, straightening her legs becoming almost 7 foot tall, and took Rogue by the shirt and pulled her closer. The creature growld then pushed Rogue to the ground, kneeling over her chest. Rogue pushed her away and leaped to her feet, kicking the red woman in the chest with a high kick. The woman stumbled back in shock, and then gatherd herself as she stood and faded out, but Rogue could see her eyes and punched at the space as the creature turned red again and fell to the ground.
Rogue started towards her but saw the womans image flicker as she felt the creature run behind her. In a split second, the woman hed gotten from the floor across from Rogue, to her feet behind her. Rogue turned and kicked the woman in the stomach, and lifted into the air, kicking the creature in the face, sending her leaning backwards. The red woman shot out her claws and leaped at Rogue, pinning her to the ground, unable to move.
"What is it that brings demons hear!" It screached.
"WHO ARE YOU," Shouted Rogue as the red woman put two nails to her neck.
"The comelion, whats this. Is it human.?"
"No, well yea but ahm a mutant." Said Rogue, he voice slightley shakey
The camelion snarled at the word mutant.
"Who sent it hear....." Her eyes darted over Rogue as she retracted the claws.
"No-one, our jet crashed hear,"
The woman tilted her head, not knowing what Rogue was saying, she stepped away from Rogue and stood infront of her as she stood up. "what are you doing hear? How did you get hear."
"Lived hear for camelions ever. home, my property! leave now!" She snarled.
"Ah caynt, ah dont know how." Rogue said through clenched teeth.
"Ah caynt ah dont know how" The comelion mimiced Rogues acsent as she studied the way Rogue stood and mimiced that too.
"Seline not know either." She said as she sunk back into her stance and slitherish acsent.
"Youve never been out of the trees." Rogue said, relaxing slightley as she realised that Seline was just protecting her property. Scott stured and sat up seeing the two, he reached to pull down his glasses when Rogue saw Selines eyes dart over to scott. Rogue turned and held out her hand in a stop motion, and looked back at Seline.
"What is its name?"
"Mah names Rogue."
"What is that over there." She motioned to Scott.
"Thats Scott, hes a mutant too, and thats Jean."
"Mutant or human?"
"Mutant."
"You no hunting Seline?"
"No wer not ah swear."
"Swear?"
"Yea, ah promis we aint hear ta hurt you."
"Like she promis to come back" Seline said to herself and the snarled at Rogue. "It lies!"
"No, honestley ahm not liein."
Scott stood up, and walked over to Jean who was just sturing. Seline stepped back hissing when she saw them move.
"Alright, juss calm down. We aint hear ta hurt you, were juss tryna find our way out, thats all."
"It will leave Seline in piece?"
"If you help us."
"Then ill kill all of its kind hear.!!!" She hissed violentley.
"Please, we need help Seline."
"Help?" She tilted her head again. Throughout the whole convesation, she hadn't blinked once.
"Yea erm...... asistance."
"Selin can not asist.....Seline never left her home sice Seline was braught hear by the humans. Now leave Seline in peace!!" She stepped forward with her claws."Go back the way it came! Thers nothing ahead but more trees."
She said, the way she talked was beginning to make sence as she copied, and learnt from the way Rogue was talking. Seline faded away as she leaped into the trees, and Rogue turned to Scott and jean.
