Disclaimer: I don't own the X men unfortunately but I do own Rune and some
other people.
* Logan didn't say anything just stared at the picture before looking away and scowling. Rune shared his anger and suddenly Logan heard a thud and a rip. Whirling around he saw Rune taking bits of plaster off her metal blade like fingers and a hole where the picture had been. A thudding of feet was heard and suddenly Scott and Jean and several others appeared at the door Scott had kicked in. Scott looked around then relaxed slightly "What's wrong?" "Rune had a dream she woke up screaming nothing more" Logan replied evenly although there was an undertone of anger to his voice. Scott looked at him and then over where Rune was sitting apparently unaware of the other x men in the room. "Then why is there a hole in the wall?" Rune looked up at Scott and frowned. "Black and Green still have a presence it seems" Jean and Scott stared wide- eyed at her while Logan was tight lipped. "How do you know this?" Rogue asked from the corridor.
"The hole was the black and green symbol" Rune replied and then moved around Scott to switch the light on. "Look how bout we just sort this out in morning?" Rune suggested. Scott looked at her his brow furrowed. "Why?" Jean asked "Why not?" Rune shrugged "Look it's four o'clock in the morning some things are best left until daylight and this I think is one of them" Rune could feel everyone watching her. She saw Rogue nod
"She's right" Rogue said and Scott looked at her and then nodded. "Okay in the morning" Scott said uncertainty and began to depart. Once they had all left Rune closed the door and sat down on the bed, running her hands through her hair. She felt rather than saw Logan gaze boring into her head. Glancing up at him she saw his face blank of expression. She got up and walked to the window and she could feel Logan's gaze following
"What?" Rune finally asked. "Why did you do that?" his voice was toneless. Rune shifted her weight from foot to foot before answering "I don't know" she turned and looked at him. His expression was thoughtful before he sat down on the bed and lay down. Rune felt slightly confused. "Well I don't know about you but I'm taking your advice and sleeping" Logan grunted. She smiled and concentrated. With a click the light turned off. In the darkness she smiled, her telekinetic abilities were getting better. She climbed back into bed and she felt Logan drape a hand over her hip. His touch was comforting but it still didn't banish the sudden extreme fear of sleeping. Although the actual dreams she couldn't remember other than her reoccurring nightmare, the horrible feeling it left imprinted on her brain caused her to shudder.
Mistaking the shudder for cold Logan rolled closer to her. His breath was heavy in her ear, warm on her face and she could smell toothpaste. It helped a bit but still the feeling remained. Rune wriggled closer until her nose was touching his chest and his arm was curled around her. That was better, much better and Logan could feel Rune smile against his chest. This was how they fell asleep and this was how the memories were kept at bay.
* A little girl with white blonde hair and pale skin and the deepest green eyes ever seen, stared into her bath water. It might have looked quite odd to anyone who didn't know what the girl was. That is a mutant with extraordinary mind abilities. With the ability of foresight, conversing with other minds, weaving her consciousness into those of others and elemental manipulation through her mind she was easily more powerful than Professor Xavier although less tried.
Using the bath water she watched with tears glistening in her eyes the warmth and comfort of the relationship between Logan and Rune. The image faded and she wiped her eyes. She wished she had the same experience but she felt no jealously towards Rune. Getting out of the water she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her girl child body before pulling the plug from the bath.
She watched the water wash into the drain. Soon she would have to reveal who and what she was and is to the Rune. She was afraid of her reaction and the reaction of her beloved wolf-man. The girl began to dress. She would cross that bridge when she came to it and hope the outcome would be good.
* Another little girl with pale skin almost pasty looking and black hair and pale green eyes watched Rune and her beloved wolf-man, although with a much more evil intent. She knew the sweeter girl in fact she shared a connection with her and Rune and she intended to use that to its full...potential... for mischief. She was going to get her revenge and she was going to enjoy it.

Suddenly Rune's eyes snapped open, staring directly at the window of the room. There was nothing there even though she was sure there had been. She bit her lip and then rested her head back on Logan's chest. A lot had happened in the last couple of days, Rune sighed, where would she be in two months. Dead? Rune shuddered and she felt Logan rub her arm before slipping back into a deeper sleep. Slowly she disentangled herself from Logan and sat on the edge of the bed. She was still tired but she knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. "Its not even past dawn and your getting up" Logan asked her, his voice thickened by sleep. "Sorry I woke you" Logan grunted and reached over to rub the small of her back. Rune got up partly shying away from Logan's touch. For some reason an image of the burning flesh covering her swamped her mind and Rune resisted the urge to shudder. "What's wrong?" Rune turned to look at Logan, lying with a flimsy sheet covering his lower body. "Nothing why does there have to be anything wrong?" Rune smiled unconvincedly and she knew it. Logan frowned. Before he could say anything a scream broke the air. "Its Rogue" Logan growled as he leapt out of bed, but he needn't have told Rune that she already knew and was already halfway down the hall towards Rogue's room. When she got there Rune could hear several screams. Kicking the door open she surveyed the scene in one corner was several girls in another was Rogue or at least what looked like Rogue. The girl was tearing at her hair and going to touch one of the girls who were frozen in place on her bed. Rune could see what was happening before her brain registered it. Leaping forward Rune grappled Rogue around the waist and brought her down to the ground. They both tumbled into a bed and this loosened Rune's grip. Rogue took this chance to leap up and run out the door. Clutching her side Rune slowly got up and with more stumbling than running she followed Rogue. Pushing people out of the way she chased Rogue throughout the school. Finally she cornered her in the main foyer. Rune knew in the back of her mind that others surrounded her but she knew she had to concentrate on the task at hand. Rogue snarled and reached out a hand to scratch Rune's cheek. Rune avoided the blow then sliding on her belly she grabbed Rogue's legs and brought her down with a crash. Straddling her chest Rune punched Rogue, square in the face. It knocked her out and for that Rune was extremely grateful.
Getting up she breathed in deeply and looked down at an unconscious Rogue. A small thin line of blood ran down from her nose and her jaw was slack. With the corner of her shirt Rune abated the flow of blood. Once that was done she realised that others surrounded her. Stepping away from Rogue she rubbed her back "It might be an idea to take her to the medical bay and have her restrained" Rune muttered to an expressionless Professor Xavier. Rune walked out of the room nursing bruised knuckles. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed some ice. With some difficulty she managed to wrap the ice in a tea towel and press it to her knuckles it hurt but Rune was beyond caring at the moment. She knew without a doubt what had possessed Rogue was something that was after her. She had done it again. The enemy had gotten to her through others; she had allowed it to happen again. With a groan Rune banged her head against the refrigerator door. She would have to leave the school. Preferably today. Rune nodded to herself and took the ice off her knuckles; she would leave the school, set herself up in a cheap motel and figure out this puzzle.
A/N: Okay if this seems to be going along the track of my other one please tell me and I will add some more twists for my gorgeous and rich and smart and beautiful young readers. Pretty please batts eyelashes
