other people.
* "It is not possible Scott" Rune shouted disbelievingly. "It is too" Scott replied with a slight childishness to his voice "It isn't"
"It is possible for men to multitask" "Like crap it is Scott, it is a scientific fact that men can't multitask and women can" Rune slapped her palm down on the table for emphasis. Scott didn't answer
"I can't believe you two are still debating this" Rogue smiled. "Rogue I want you to take note that Scott can't debate against scientific evidence" Rune grinned back at the girl as Scott sat down with a slight huff. "Anyway I'm going to bed," Rune replied as she gathered her things that were spread across the kitchen table "Hey" Scott got up mocking anger "You can't walk out on a debate" "Yes I can Scott" Rune looked at him, smiling "See its called quitting while your ahead good Rogue" she nodded to Scott "Good night Scott" the two people murmured their farewells as Rune walked back to her room.
* Rune only had to stand outside her door to know something was wrong. Leaving her stuff at her door she slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open. The room was cold and dark and Rune couldn't sense anyone hiding in the shadows. Switching on the light she groaned in dismay.
Everything was in disarray, her clothes hanging out of her cupboard, her bed overturned and the contents of her desk drawers were strewn across the floor. Walking down the corridor she knocked on a door. A bleary eyed and half naked Logan answered.
"My room's been ransacked," she told him before he could speak. Logan's brow furrowed and he shut the door behind him. "Do you think it has something to do with yesterday?" Rune shrugged "Why would it have to do with my room being ransacked?" "Because most of the time these sort of things connect," he replied as he stalked down the corridor, Rune running to catch up.

"I don't know what to think" Rune told a worried Xavier. The professor sighed and looked around the room. It was only half cleaned and Xavier had wanted to talk to her so Rune had stopped her halfhearted attempt at cleaning. "Your not the only one" Rune replied as she ran a hand through her hair. "I might suggest that you sleep in one of the communal bedrooms or one of the spare ones" rune nodded
"Way ahead of you Chuck" Logan said from the doorway and Rune rolled her eyes "I swear you must be getting more and more protective of me by the day" "Its probably a good thing since you always seem to be in trouble" he said with a grin
"That's rich coming from you" Rune retorted but smiled. "I'll leave you two to get some rest" Xavier replied and wheeled out into the corridor "Goodnight professor" Rune murmured.
"Goodnight Rune sleep safely" the professor said as he wheeled away. "Now that he's gone-," Logan muttered as he shut the door "You can help me finish cleaning up" Rune smiled as she heard Logan groan "Just get my papers into neat stacks and I'll sort them out tomorrow" Logan grunted but did as he was asked. On Rune's behalf she jammed her clothes back into the cupboard. When they were done Rune climbed into bed and she was vaguely aware of Logan lying down next to her. Rolling over she curled against his chest and after a moment's hesitation his arm was around her shoulders. Rune fell asleep with a smile on her face.
* It was dark and Rune could feel a warm hand stroking her hair. Opening her eyes she smiled as she looked up at the man. "So to sleep Rachel," her father told her gently. "I'm not tired daddy" Rachel yawned and her eyelids fluttered closed again. She then became aware of a snuffling noise.
Opening her eyes she saw a wet nose of a dog. "Herbert did you find her?" Rachel giggled through her hands as she heard her brother searching for her. She was the best at hide and seeks out of her and her brother, but when her brother employed the help of their dog Herbert he always found her. Rachel didn't mind it was still fun. Once again she closed her eyes. This time when she opened them she was scared. She could hear her father yelling and something bad happening down stairs. She heard a thud and moaning but that was masked by the heavy footfalls on the stairs. Suddenly Rachel felt her brother pick her up and head for the window.
They both heard the door break down. Rachel could hear a man demanding for her and her brother. He yelled something Rachel didn't understand and they both climbed out the window. Setting her down he took her hand and they ran down the fire staircase. Suddenly she felt dizzy and tired. She just wanted to sleep, just a little nap.
When she opened her eyes again Rune was in her nightmare. It was so hot and everyone was burning. She could hear someone laughing, taunting her, but she also heard someone begging or crying. Rune looked around and there seemed to be no sound. There he was lying quite still at the moment and then with a jerk he started convulsing. Time seemed to slow and the air felt like mud as Rune tried to run to him but like the dreams before she couldn't do anything. But unlike the other dreams as she reached him, he exploded! She put her arms in front of her face as a reaction.
Opening her eyes once again she saw she was covered in blood and bit of burning flesh. Then Rune did all she could do and that was scream. She let out a bloodcurdling scream that ripped out of her throat making it sore. Then she woke up.
* Logan woke with a start his blades at ready as he heard a scream. Looking over at Rune he saw it was her screaming. Sheathing his blades he reached over and shook her. Without any warning she sat up and looked straight ahead and started screaming again.
"Rune!" he shouted at her and grabbed her shoulders. This seemed to snap her out of the dream like state. Rune looked over at Logan her eyes wide with fear. "Rune?" he asked his brow furrowed. "I know who ransacked my room" she replied and got out of bed before he could answer. She walked over to her desk and dragged it to the side and then knelt down and inspected the wall. Logan walked up behind her. "What are you looking for Rune?" "Not looking for found" she jabbed her finger at a black smudge. It was small almost impossible to make out but it was unmistakable. An eye with a line crossed through it. "Black and Green it seems isn't quite dead"
