Title: Of Love And Hate

Chapter 26: Phone Calls
The phone rang at 1:00am in Ravens room. "Hello?!" Came her half upset half asleep voice.
"Raven, bad news. Rhane's dead." Came Magneto's voice.
"What? How? Who? What about Lucus? Victor said he was shot."
"A misunderstanding. Rhane was shot instead of Lucus. Duncan shot her twice."
"Oh God. Is he taken care of?"
"Of course." Magneto said. "We have lose ends to deal with. make the decision to wake everyone up or tell them later. We'll be back in a few hours."
"Alright." They hang up and Raven throws on her robe going to wake everyone up.
-2 days later-
The group sat around at the wake. Rhane was dressed in a light green dress and her hair was down framing her face. He eyes closed and face seeming happy and at peace. Lucus stood by the casket watching her still form and talking to her mother and father.
"Think he'll be ok?" Kitty asked Logan.
"I think he'll be fine. David's a smart kid."
"But he's now Lucus." Jean says quietly.
"True."
-After Funural-
Lucus shook his head and looked around the empty room. He laid down on the bed. He didn't want to live. She died for him. And he let her. He should have been able to save her. She died in pain. And he had just sat there. He last actions towards him! He couldn't take it. First his father now Rhane. Davids old friend. his new love. Love is a word without meaning. But its the closest one can get to telling the meaning of that feeling in the pit of their stomachs.
He couldn't live. He refused. He would not stand for himself living. But he needed a way to die that wouldn't be to noticable. he could only keep images in peoples heads for so long. He wasn't his father.
He pulled out a bottle from his bag and tossed it from hand to hand before thinking; 'Its not like we have a thing to live for.' He pulled the cork out and drank the posion.
Then laid back and closed his eyes. He had wanted to die in pain. Like Rhane, but that would have been noisy and messy and it would have taken to long for the rest to leave him alone with a gun. But this, the poision, they hadn't known about.
-Lucus's Memorial-
"This is getting to be to hard." Amara says. "I knew Bobby and I knew Rhane. I never meet Lucus but... he killed himself over Rhane! Three deaths since we got here. Who's next? One of us?" Amara asked crying on Wanda's shoulder.
"He was my friend." Kurt said as he stood beside Rogue. They had resently found out that Kurt was her adoptive brother. And he wasn't about to let her out of his sight now.
"Ahm sorry Kurt. They were all yer friends right."
"Yes..." Kurt shakes his head. "And now God will never forgive him. He has commited the worse sin of all. If only he wouldn't have killed himself." Kurt shakes slightly. Rogue places a black gloved hand on his shoulder and he hugs her tightly.
"It's alright Kurt." Amanda said as she bounced their baby boy on her left him so he would stop crying. Kurt let Rogue go and took his 9 month son from his mother rocking him. Amanda smiled sadly at her husband and picked up their 2 year old son from the floor were he and his twin sister and brother sat playing. The baby named Alex, the eldest boy, the one she held, was named Devin he waved at Rogue. The girl was Malay and the second son was name James.
"I hate having them here. I wish that we could have found a sitter." Amanda said in a whisper. "I feel so bad."
"Don't, everyone understands. Ah mean da rest had to bring their kids to. Jean has Rahcel. Storm has her 2 kids, whish Ah think shocked the hell out of Victor. But she just asked what the hell was'is problem when 'e stuttered." They laugh slightly.
"And Betsy's little girl." Kurt says smiling at the 3 year old girl across from them with purplish hair and her mothers face.
"I know Betsy's daughter is Ella. But what are Storms 2?"
"She said the Boy was Azia and the girl Aisha, Amanda. She said he was 4 and she was 5." Kurt says.
"Well Ah guess Ah can feel his grief." Rogue says looking over at remy who watches her.
"Still holding the grudge?" Kurt asks. "With all the death around us, we should forgive, not hold agionst people past mistakes."
"Ah guess yer right." Rogue sighs and starts over towards Remy who blinks.
"Bonjour." he says sadly as she sits beside him.
"Ah just wanna say I fergive yea."
"Den we-"
"No. Ah fergive yea, but Ah've not fergotten." Rogue says. "Ah don't see how yea could keep dat away from meh."
"Sorry mon Chere. It not somethin Remy go talkin bout. He not a past person."
"Ah know but, what if Ah wanted ta marry you later on?"
"Den Remy go ta Nawlands and get da devoirce." He says seriously.
"And lose 'is head?"
"If it fer yea, den Oui."
"Ah don't see why. Ah can't even touch." Rogue says and looks around uncomfterable.
"Why not give remy a second chance? He promise no more lies er hidden truths."
"Ah don't know." Rogue says biteing her lip. "Ah don't go fer married men."
"I'm not married Chere. Not in da way yea expose ta be. It just a sheet of paper."
"Ah don't know. Ah'll think about it Remy."
"Dat all he can ask."
"Ah know."
Everyone gets ready to leave each saying their farewells. Lucus was to be buried in Scotland next to his mother and father. And his body was leaving that night. They all file home to eat and remeber Lucus, or David in better times, mostly when he was David. Kurt, Amanada, and Betsy refused still sworn not to tell how david became Lucus. that would die with them.
A/N: Ok humor for the next 2 chapters. And I lied. Now there is only one more death and it'll end the first book! And it's a pretty main character! In book 2 expect more people to be killed off! And higher in stature. Love you all Kim!
