Black Eyed Romance

*Sleeping With The Enemy*

As she opened her eyes she could tell she was not in her room or
anywhere she knew of. To her right, Rogue saw a doorway that lead into
what looked like a bathroom. To her left was a massive size window
with stripped black and red curtains. There was also a couch stretched
out across the couch was a man; Rogue had never recalled meeting. She
could tell he was tall, his arms and legs spilled out over the sides
of the couch. He was covered in a long brown trench coat, wearing
clothes he must have worn the day before, a black shirt that showed
off his muscular body, black jeans and boots. Rogue started to worry.
Why was she here? How did she get here? Who is that man? What happened
to...the...my....family?

She quickly got out of bed and headed towards the door to her right,
assuming that was the bathroom. But before she even moved the covers,
the man on the couch stirred. She stayed put until she was sure he was
not awake and headed again to the bathroom with her things. After
spending an hour or more in the bathroom trying to figure out what to
do, she began to get dressed. Just as she was trying to find the door
by fumbling along the wall she heard a familiar yet strange voice

"Yah're not gonna find it like dat, cherie."

With a startled and frightened voice, Rogue replied in her own Southern accent, "What?! I thought yeh were sleeping. Wait, who are yeh? And what do you want from meh?"

"If Remy knew yah were gonna act this way, Remy would've never saved yah're ass."

"Who's Remy? And saved meh from what?"

"I be Remy and Remy saved yah from Nathaniel."

"What yah talking yehself in 3rd person for?"

"Tats dah way Remy always talks" he replied, dragging out the word 'always' for a more dramatic effect.

"Whateva. How do Ah get out of here?"

"Sorry, that's privileged info, but you could try that door over there." He said pointing to a hidden door that no one would be able to notice with out seeing the doorknob.

"Oh...well it's getting late...gotta go." Just as Rogue turned to leave a piece of paper fluttered to the floor.

"Uh... wee... what we got here now?"

"Hey! Give me that! It's mine!" Rogue was jumping over Remy's shoulder trying to get back the piece of paper.

"Well...well... seems like someone's a poet!" Remy started to recite the poem.

"My World"

I cut not to see blood

But to see if I'm alive

I choke myself not to die

But to make sure I'm living

Sometimes it seems as if

I'm amongst the Dead

Am I one of them?

Or are they like me?

All the tests prove I'm alive

It seems I'm amongst the living

But I'm the one who's dead

"Did you eva stop to think she neva wants to come back here?" Said an all too perky Jean Grey.

"Nov vhy vould she not vant tah?"

"Eva thought because of your ugly blue face?"

"Oww like you're like totally asking for it."

"Hey now stop. You said she refused to come with you and Scott and threatened to harm you guys, right? Is that what happened."

"Yes that's exactly what happened." Jean's eyes gave off a little glint of mischief.

Kitty whispered into bobby's ear, "If that's what happened then why do I feel as if she's lying, and they left her there to die and suffer."

"I have a feeling you're right. Something's off with their little story. What I can't figure out is why Scott is taking Jean's side and lying."

Later that day at the Xavier Institute:

"Hey Jean mind if we have a little talk?"

"Of course not. Does it have anything to do with a certain guy?"

"A little, well sort of, not really I guess."

"Umm whateva."

As soon as Jean stepped into Rogue and kitty's bedroom the door slammed shut behind her. Where Kurt and Bobby ambushed her. They held her down questioning her about what had really happened. Jean kept repeating the same thing she told the Professor over and over. After a while she started insulting Kitty, Kurt, and Bobby.

"You stupid little moron, did you ever think maybe the bitch may hate your guts or the fact that you're always in everyone's face all the time with you perkiness!"

"That's it no more little miss nice girl," replied Kitty.

All of a sudden jean saw something coming towards her face real fast.
