Chapter 14: Wake me up Inside

" Love conquers all, or does it?"

~ RoguesHeart~

" Remy what y' talkin' 'bout, homme?"

Jean Luc stood up and walked next to Remy, who was pacing around the table.

" Does y' femme have anyt'in t' do wit' Marius Bordreaux's murder?"

Remy shook his head reflexively.

" Remy not quite sure but he gon' find out, Pardon Moi."

With that, Remy disappeared into the morning crowds leaving Henri and Jean Luc standing there watching.

" Has Remy gon' crazy, pere?"

" Oui an' Non, Love makes y' do strange t'ings."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rogue had just finished changing out of her uniform when she heard a light rapping at her door. Turning around she saw Cadmus standing in her doorway.

" Hey Rogue."

" Hi Cadmus."

Flipping his hair to the side, he gazed at Rogue.

" Y' want t' go out t' eat breakfast?"

" Sure."

" Bien, meet me outside in five."

" No prob."

Cadmus nodded and headed out of her room. Rogue sighed lightly and looked at her outfit. She wore light blue stretch jeans with a jet black belt. She was also sporting a a bright red peasant shirt with a silver necklace. She still had on her black gloves but she decided to change them to black lace gloves. Her inhibitor ring was placed on her right middle finger. Brushing the tangles from her hair, she had decided to leave it hanging down. Glancing at her watch, she decided to go meet Cadmus downstairs.

When she finally came down, she was met by a long whistle. Turning she saw Jeremiah Shepard walking from the kitchen. In his hands he held a rather large bowl of cereal.

" Y' lookin pretty good dere, Roguey!"

" And ya know that!"

" Beb, why don' y' come 'round 'ere and hit me wit some of dat good stuff!"

" In ya dreams, Jeremiah."

" Ooohh… but not fo' long, not fo long… "

" And why is that?"

" 'Cause p'tite nobody can resist dis charm fo' long!"

" Yeah, ya like a cold…always there and no cure."

Jeremiah laughed and began to head upstairs to his room. Turning to whisper in her ear, he grinned mischievously.

" Y' know y' want this."

" When pigs fly and ah have a sex change."

Laughing louder, Jeremiah rounded the corner to his room. But not before responding.

" No need fo' y' to go t' extreme measures to impress moi, Roguey!"

" Don't call meh Roguey!!"

Cadmus stood at the bottom of the steps grinning. It was like that everyday with them. Jeremiah knew damn well that he would never have a chance with Rogue, he just didn't seem to care.

" C'mon Rogue..before it be too late."

Rolling her eyes, Rogue followed him.

" Heaven forbid that the café stops serving crepes after 7:00 in the morning.."

" Hey, the earlier we are the fresher they are!"

" Whatever."

Cadmus led her down the streets of New Orleans. Every now and then he would glance at Rogue and see a strange look on her face. Deciding against prying into her business, they stopped off at Lessionez Café (A/N: Lessionez is not a word!) . Rogue pointed out that she would rather sit outside and after short debate, Cadmus finally caved in. Nobody could resist Rogue's pouting face and tantrum twitches. The first beginnings of breakfast was filled with nonchalant small talk followed by a comfortable silence.

Rogue gazed off into the streets. Even at this time of morning, it was bustling with life. Vendors could be seen spouting off different items and tourists as far as the eyes can see. It wasn't until she had caught a glance at a tall gentlemen did she take interest. He was an incredibly handsome man with messy auburn hair. His eyes, which were hidden by sunglasses, met hers and for an instance everything else disappeared around them. She watched as he slowly walked over to her. As if in a trance, Rogue felt herself lift from the seat and walk to him. The sound of Cadmus's calls came to her like a paper cup in a snowstorm, they just didn't exist.

Remy couldn't believe it, he had just finished speaking with Spike about Rogue's whereabouts when he suddenly turned and there she was, sitting in the café he had just previously left. She looked absolutely gorgeous sitting there, her emerald eyes staring at him curiously. Something seemed off with her though, as if she didn't recognize him. Approaching her slowly, he could easily take more of her into his sight. He could also see who she was sitting with. It was some man with silvery hair and chocolate brown eyes. He couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of the man who was privileged to be within her presence. He watched as she slowly stood and began to walk over to him. Cocking an eyebrow wearily, she continued to stride over to him. Joy and relief overflowed his emotions when it finally struck him that she was fine.

It was strange, she could've sworn that she had seen him before. An invisible force kept pulling her towards him..as she got closer to him, she was hit by two different emotions: happiness and fear..

" Are ya alright?…."

" Remy should be askin' ya de same question.."

~~~~~~~~~

" Y' de only one who Remy wants t' be wit.."

" Remy loves y' chere…"

" Remy would never hurt y' chere…"

Chere, Chere…Love y' Ma cherie.. Chere.. Chere…………… Chere.. Remy loves y' chere.. .

" Please… be quiet."

Holding her head, Rogue stopped in her tracks. Confused Remy reached out to her in concern.

" Are y' okay Chere?"

Chere… Chere…Chere……Chere….Chere…Chere……………Chere…..Chere..Love…remy…Chere..

The voice in her head got louder. So loud that it was practically screeching..

Chere…..Chere…..Chere…….Chere……….Remy loves y' Chere…Loves y' Chere…

It echoed shrilly through her mind. Pain began to surge through her body as it kept screaming and screaming, bellowing, crying, shouting, roaring..

Y' a liar Marie… Liar… Marie……Liar………Liar………..Liar…………Marie………….Liar….

Remy grabbed her shoulders and held her while she suffered internly. He didn't know what was going on but he had to protect Rogue. The silver haired man, who was sitting at the café table, had already strolled over to them. When he saw Remy's arms wrapped around her shoulders, his eyes narrowed.

" What de hell do y' t'ink y're doin?"

Ignoring the man, Remy gazed down at Rogue as he watched her go through her changes. He was confused, one minute she seemed and the next she breaks down. But the thing that really shook him was that the last look she gave him was one out of fear. He could feel her body trembling underneath his hold.

" Chere, what be wrong?…."

Chere….Chere…..Chere…..Liar….Marie….Liar….Marie…..Remy….Chere….Love….Liar..

The pain in her mind was becoming unbearable, it was as if it was her mind was swelling. The voice in her head had reached an earsplitting tone and if she wasn't in so much agony she would wonder why she wasn't deaf yet.

Liar…..Chere……Marie…..Die…..Liar….Marie….Chere….Never…..Die….Marie….Die….Chere…

Cadmus stared down at Rogue with worry. Then glaring back at the strange man who was holding his Rogue, he felt a sudden surge of anger rush through him.

Liar….Liar……LIAR…..DIE……MARIE…..LIAR……DIE…..LIAR…LIAR…DIE….MARIE..

She couldn't hold it in any longer. She let all her pain out into one piercing scream.

Liar..MARIE…LIAR..LIES…LIES…LIES…LIES..MARIE…DIE…MARIE…DIE..

Remy watched helplessly as Rogue screamed out in turmoil. Gripping her even more closely, he rocked her back and forth. All three of them were completely oblivious to the observers walking by, whispering about the strange goth.

" What's wrong with her?"

" Bet she's one of dem muties."

The whispers of the people around her and the voice in her hand began to mix into one and the same. The world was spinning around her violently, lurching her body forward she prepared herself to hit the ground. But the contact never came, only then did she realize that she was being held up by the strange man.

Remy loves y' Chere…..Chere….Chere….I love y' Chere….Chere…..Chere…..Remy…

Carefully lifting her hand to the side of his face, she pulled back his sunglasses revealing two demonic eyes. Cadmus gasped lightly but quickly covered it up with a mask of neutrality. Rogue remained unaffected by the two fire eyes baring down at her, as if it was staring into her soul.

Her emerald eyes remained unchanging as she stared at him. Usually, when she looked him in the eyes, she would flicker with some kind of emotion but he didn't feel any.

" Rogue, what's wrong?"

Finally a small twinge of emotion glimmered behind her mask of apathy.

" Who..who…are y'?"

" Rogue what y' mean, don' y' remember Remy?"

Remy…..Remy…….Remy…….Chere…..Remy loves y' Chere…..Remy….Chere…..Remy…

In a desperate attempt to clear the voice, she began to shake her head. Her throbbing temples seemed to blend in with the whispers and voices.

" Remy.."

" Oui, Chere.."

Suddenly Rogue jumped up and pulled herself out of his embrace.

" Who…who…are…ya!!!"

Remy eyes flashed with hurt.

" It's me Rogue."

" Who?"

" Remy."

Remy….Liar….Liar…Remy….Liar……..Remy….Liar……Remy…..Remy….Liar…..Liar…Liar…

" LIAR!"

" Remy never lie t' y' Chere."

Pushing away violently, Rogue attempted to run. But Cadmus stood in her way.

" MOVE!"

" No..Rogue."

" I SAID MOVE!"

" And I said no…Calm down Rogue.."

Pulling her hands back, she began to pull her hair furiously, just to stop the hurting …the pain..

Remy dove towards her and grabbed her hands. Pulling them behind her back, she screamed aloud.

" Non Chere, Remy can't be havin' y' hurtin' y'self."

Liar…Liar…Chere…Marie…Remy…Liar…Chere……Remy…Liar…Marie..Marie…Liar…Remy..

" Please…make it stop."

Her voice was soft when she spoke. Remy felt his heart tug as he could hear the defeat in her tone.

" Remy gon' try."

Her eyes gleamed up into his. Tears flowed down incessantly down her cheeks, and her lips trembled slightly. Remy pulled himself down and engulfed his mouth with hers. She pulled back slightly but his grip on her waist wouldn't allow for her to move. She could feel his passion through the kiss and obviously the voice could here it as well because it began to fade. As it faded, she felt old yet new passions rise through her body replacing the pain. She let herself slip away into his love as he held her body close to him.

When he finally pulled back, he looked down at Rogue. Her body shook with sobs and he could feel himself dying inside.

" Please Chere, it'll all be okay…"

" Oh Gawd…what have ah done?!"

" Chere?"

" Ah promised ah wouldn't kill again but…"

Remy began to stroke his fingers through her hair.

" Shh…Chere..Remy already knows.."

Remy remained there holding her until she managed to calm down. By then she had fallen unconscious in his arms. Smoothing her hair down, he lifted her up into his arms. Jean Luc ran up to Remy and directed him back to their house, where he said they could stay until she awoken. Remy glanced down back at the unconscious Rogue and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

" I don' know what be happenin' but I guarantee as long a mah name is Remy Etienne LeBeau

I will not allow for anyt'in else t' happen t' y', mon amour."

Unbeknowest to them all, Sinister was watching from afar the scene that had dramatically taken place.

" Now this won't do at all.."

" TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM, ESSEX."

" Yes sir."

Essex turned away and walked slowly back to the base. A ominous smile spread wide across his face.

WOOOOHHHH!! BEB! That took a bit of a while! DID YA LIKE? HUH? HUH? Was it too confusing? I hope it wasn't…if it was just tell me and I'll explain it.
