Let the fun begin!. . . . * Oh yeah I kinda sped up Aurora's birthing cuz I didn't feel like doin' the whole 14 hours of labor thing sooooo deal with it.
Chapter 9: Torture
" Hate is strong word, how about we use
irreplaceably disgust?"
~ RoguesHeart~
" Y' what just did what?!"
Aurora carefully moved herself into her bedroom while a dumbfounded Spike stood in the hallway. Calmly she called out to Spike.
" Spike, I would suggest that you get Rogue in here immediately."
Spike suddenly jerked his body and almost ran into the door on the way to Rogue's room. The thump of his head smacking the wall was enough to jerk Rogue out of Remy's arms.
" Spike, what's wrong?"
Spike snapped out of his daze and grabbed her hand.
" Aurora's fittin' to be havin' her beb!"
" What!, where is she?"
Spike deftly gestured to the Aurora's bedroom. Rogue dashed past him and immediately went into the room to comfort Aurora. Remy and Spike stood thunderstruck by the possibility of Aurora's child being born in the woman's bedroom.
~ 3 hours later~
Remy was the first to snap out of the daze.
" Spike, Why we not callin' de hospital or 911 or sumthin'?!"
At this time, Logan had walked back into the house and happened to catch Remy's question.
" Because Gumbo, they wouldn't be able to make it out here in time."
Just then Rogue darted out of the room and turned to face Logan.
" Quickly Logan, Ah need help delivering this baby!"
Logan's eyes went wide and his face lost color.
" What the hell?, Why me?!…"
" BECAUSE!"
Before Logan could say anything else, she dragged him into the room and slammed the door behind them. The sound of Aurora's shrieking cries grew louder through each minute. Not more than seconds later did Logan find himself flying through the door. Rogue stood in the frame with her mouth wide open in amazement. Remy and Spike looked from Rogue to Logan who was sprawled on the ground. Then a horrific scream erupted from Aurora drawing Rogue's attention from Logan.
" ROGUE!! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR SOUTHERN ARSE BACK
IN HERE AND DELIVER THIS BABY I SWEAR I'LL RIP OFF YOUR
HEAD!!!
Rogue shuddered slightly before easing back into the room. Remy and Spike cautiously walked over to Logan and helped him stand up.
" Hey, homme what happened in dere?"
Logan looked up at Spike in a slight daze.
" She's having contractions."
" Yeah, we kinda noticed dat."
Logan grasped Remy's arm and practically dragged him into Aurora's room.
" Hey Homme, What de heck are y' doin'?"
" Ya gonna help your girlfriend!"
" What!"
Sooner than he was able to produce, Remy found himself in a room with a disgruntled pregnant woman and his frantic lover. Rogue turned her head to see Remy standing in the room looking bewildered.
" Remy grab me the towels over there!"
Remy dashed over to the nightstand and practically through the towels at her. Noticing Remy's nervousness, Rogue managed to pat him on the head.
" Calm down Remy..everything's fine."
" NO IT'S NOT, I HAVE A FUCKING BABY COMING OUT OF ME!
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE!"
Both Rogue and Remy jumped at the sight that befell them. The usually calm woman known as Aurora had become a ranting/raving lunatic. Suddenly Aurora shrieked out in pain, her scream was so loud and high pitched that it shattered the glass windows throughout the house. It left Logan writhing in pain and Remy in a bewildered state.
" SPIKE GET IN HERE NOW!"
When he didn't come in instantly, Aurora sent Rogue to get him, leaving Remy in charge. Rogue found him outside in the backyard hiding behind the bushes. It was raining hard that night so he was partially covered in mud.
" C'mere Spike."
A huge lightening strike illuminated both of their faces.
" No."
Rogue had begun to step forward to grab Spike, when she suddenly felt a horrific pain shoot up her back. Gasping aloud, Rogue collapsed on the ground holding her sides. Spike immediately jumped up and grabbed her.
" Rogue, what's wrong?"
Rogue was still unable to speak as the horrid ache began to course through her spine.
" What's happening t' ya?"
Rogue could feel her breathing become more and more erratic. Red dots exploded behind her eyes as the pain ran from her back to her chest.
" Rogue!, y' bleeding!"
Rogue managed to focus her eyes enough to see a red liquid slowly trickling down her arm.
" Spike, what's happen'n ta me!"
A loud crack of thunder shook the sky as the combined sound of Rogue's and Aurora's screams of anguish ran through the air. Logan's heightened senses picked up on Rogue's voice and charged out of the house. He found Rogue crumpled on the ground thrashing fiercely. As he got closer to her, the scent of blood wafted into his nostrils. Breaking out into a run, he saw that Spike was already standing over her. Logan bent over her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
" Stripes, What's wrong with you?!"
His only response was another cry of agony. Logan looked up at Spike, who was still staring at Rogue's arms in horror.
" What the hell is wrong with her?!"
Without answering him, Spike bent down and grabbed her chin.
" Rogue, listen t' me…y' cannot let them control y' again!"
Rogue glared at him with hot intensity. Rainwater dripped from her hair onto his face .
" Ah can't stop it, it's too late…"
With this, Rogue's body went limp. Logan stared down in shock as he watched the blood on her arms began to fade away. As the rainwater washed the blood off, it revealed on her right arm a skull and crossbones. On her left arm there was a scale.
" Where did these come from."
Logan looked up at Spike for an answer but none came. Spike's face was pale with fright and he was holding his head with his hands.
" Oh no, not you too."
Logan took a closer look at Spike and was taken back by what he'd seen. Spike's eyes were cold and dead , his hands began to shake.
" Logan.. Y' got t' get Rogue out of here now!"
" What?"
Once more, Spike didn't answer. This time was because he had passed out face first onto the ground. Groaning to himself, Logan gently lifted Rogue's body up and started making his way into the house when he suddenly picked up on an unfamiliar scent.
" Who the hell is there?"
Turning around, Logan saw three cloaked figures appear seemingly out of nowhere.
" Return to us the girl."
" Why should I give her to you?"
" The Master has need for her abilities."
" Who the hell is the Master?"
" We are not obligated to tell you that.'
Logan slowly became more and more pissed off as the men spoke.
" Listen here Bub, I ain't handin' this girl off t' nobody."
" You will if you know what's good for you."
Setting Rogue down carefully, Logan unsheathed his claws.
" And you will leave if you know what is good for you."
The tallest of the men shifted slightly.
" Aaah..The Wolverine I presume."
" What's it to ya, Bub?"
" Nothing of importance."
And with this, he lifted his hand and sent Logan flying back into a tree. Skillfully the man dashed over to Rogue's body and picked her up. Logan sat back up and dived at them. The man deftly smacked him away and handed her body to the man next to him.
" I am sure, we will be meeting again."
A loud thunder crack and lightening flash surrounded them. The men disappeared just as easily as they came. Only this time they had Rogue with them.
" We're in deep shit now!"
***********************************************************
Remy sank into the couch slowly. This was the scariest moment of his life. Aurora just finished having her baby after about forty hours of labor. The baby was in perfect health and was about as gorgeous as his mother. Before Remy could drift into a semi-exhausted sleep, his thoughts drifted to Rogue. She had left at least fifteen minutes ago and hasn't returned back yet. Hauling his tired body up, he headed out of the sleeping mother and her baby's room and into the living room.
Suddenly Logan busted into the room heaving Spike on his shoulders.
" Mon Dieu Logan, Y' look like shit!"
Logan brushed the comment off cooly.
" Rogue's been kidnapped."
