September 15th Dear Diary, Dr. Grey hasn't cleared us all yet so I have the time to tell you all that has happened. The thing is I'm not sure where to begin. I mean so many factors got us started and it's all still so confusing. I guess the best place to start is August 31st. You see that night I had gone to bed early because I was upset over my danger room session. I guess I had fallen asleep because the next thing I knew someone was harshly shaking me. At first I thought I was dreaming it until I felt something poke me in the rib. Believe me it got my attention. I remember bolting out of bed and seeing Rouge's face inches from mine. Screaming I yelled, " Rouge, what the hell are you doing." Of course, then I covered my mouth. I can't remember a time I used the word hell before. It just kinda came out. Rouge gave me a funny look but immediately went back to the business at hand.
" It's Logan," she whispered quietly.
" Logan!" I practically shouted then realized the school was asleep.
"Shhh," came a comment in the closet. A few seconds later Kitty emerged dressed warmly.
" What's going on?" I demanded.
" We're going to go get Logan," said Rouge her voice urgent, "I don't think the Professor is really trying to find him." " And you think going out to look for him will get us the answer," I said taken aback. Rouge looked at me expectantly.
" Alright," I said, " Just give me a second to get dressed. Immediately I walked into the closet. I grabbed my green gloves, the crimson sweatshirt, a pair of tennis shoes, and some blue jeans.
As I came out of the closet I asked simply, " What about Jubilee?" " She and the boys are waiting for us downstairs," came Rouge's simple reply. Silently she and Kitty left the room. I started to follow, but I turned around and wrote that last entry. I don't know what possessed me to write it like I was saying goodbye but I did. I just had this weird sense of forboding. We met the boys and Jubilee downstairs like Rouge said. They all looked expectantly at Rouge who nodded and headed out the door. I just thought this was strange. Normally Rouge would want someone else to lead. However, this time we all just shared a look and followed. Maybe it was because we were tired and it was night, or maybe it was destiny, but I think we all were meant to go out that night and do what we did.
September 15th later Dear Diary,
As I was saying, we left the mansion. We followed Rouge past the lake and headed towards the woods. I'm not sure if I was the only one who felt this way but I know I prepared my claws in case we did meet Logan. Though deep down I thought this was a wild goose chase. After what felt like an hour Colossus finally said, " Rouge, don't you think it would be better to wait until morning and talk to the Professor." " No," was the firm reply, " I don't trust Professor Xavier anymore. He hasn't found Logan and he probably would dismiss what I saw. He may even take it from my mind." " Rouge, you can't be serious," voiced Kitty.
" She is right, Rouge," added Colossus, " I do not think the Professor would disagree with all of us." That's when things got weird. Rouge suddenly became rigid. Turning around she glared at Colossus with hatred in her eyes. Softly and dangerously she said, " You better watch what you say, tin can." "Rouge," Exclaimed Bobby. Grabbing her shoulders he whirled her to face him.
" Rouge, what is wrong with you." Remember how I said things were weird before well, they took a step above that. Before any of us could react Rouge smiled sweetly at Bobby. Then she kissed him. The kiss held for about 30 seconds, but in that time Bobby struggled to break free then just gave up. Rouge released him and he collapsed on the cold ground. For a second I thought he was dead. Rouge looked at the rest of us with cold harsh eyes. Then without warning she unleashed fury. Raising up her hands she froze Kitty and Colossus from the waist down. Then she turned towards Gambit. It was at this time that something kicked in for me. At that moment I swore I thought I heard Logan tell me to move. The warning came just in time. After Rouge froze Gambit, she headed for me. Rolling away I popped out my claws ready to spring. Again she fired and I made the stupidest move I've ever done. I ducked and ran towards her. Just before I reached her I jumped as though to plunge my claws in her. The plan worked. She ducked down and I went sailing towards a tree. Plunging my claws into the trunk I released them as I flipped onto an awaiting branch. Without thinking I fired a new set of claws straight at Rouge. They all hit their mark and she went down. Breathing heavily I looked to survey the damage. That's when I heard it. A small pop echoed in the night and then a searing pain in my chest. Heavily I collapsed onto the ground. As I began to black out I saw what looked like military storming into the area.
