No-one said anything as Rogue and Michael entered. Rogue walked over to a coffee maker by the fridge and as she reheated the coffee in it she reached up into the cabinet above and pulled out a 6 pack of Oreo's.
Michael stood there for a second and then finally sat down next to Remy. Looking at everyone else before sitting down.
It was strange. He had spent about a month studying these people, and wondering. Now here he was having breakfast with them all. They all seemed so normal. If only they knew that teachers teach students how inhuman they all were and how bad they were. On some level he knew they all did.
"So why'd ya come 'ere, Mike." Logan said over from the other side of the table.
Michael looked up at him then over to Xavier. "We had to, We needed help to save our kind as well as yours."
Remy snorted to him self making Michael and Rogue look at him. "Seems like dat dis just gon' be de same day as every other, Non?"
Rogue just turned back to her coffee, now pouring it and walked over to the opposite of Remy. Sitting down.
Remy stared at her as she looked at the door. She was so innocent. The way she had her hair down, so it hung half down her back on one side and the other half next to her face down to reach the table. She let it grow a bit longer, she was tired of how it always got in her face in practice, cause it was too short to tie up. He had asked her once why she had grown it longer and she took him that. But when ever someone else asked she just shrugged. It made a little bit of hope get to him.
Michael was hit with this mass of bewilderness and love and wonder. All coming from the man he sat next to. Remy. That was his name wasn't it? His head shot around to look at him, and he saw that he was staring at Rogue, at into the distance at the same time.
Ever since he meet Selene he ha really started to believe in true love and destiny. And what he saw in front of him made him frown. The professor had told him and Selene what Rogues' powers were.
Rogue keep on staring at the door and holding her coffee. The warmth seeped through her gloves and was beginning to burn her, but she didn't notice. She began to wonder if she would ever get to touch skin without her own absorbing it. Or if she could ever touch a Rose without it shriveling up and turning to ash………her train of thought was broken when the rest of the mansion came in the door, laughing and smiling and some even holding hands.
Remy sat and held his breath, this was usually when Rogue said
"'cuse me"
There it was.
Rogue got up and walked out the side door to the rose garden. She always did that, he always wanted to follow her and talk to her but he never did, he didn't want her to turn him away.
"Students." The professors warming voice broken in on all their conversations. "We have two new guests, Michael, " every one turned to see a shy twenty year old man, he looked up through his hair and gave a small smile, "And Selene, who I believe is sleeping right now."
Everyone either walked other to Michael or sat down and stared at him.
Remy looked over to the French doors. And stood up and walked over to them, boldly.
Out side Rogue was sitting at the stone bench, taking her gloves off. Remy looked at her as she reached out a took a rose from its place in the bush, into her hand and his eyes widened as he saw it shriveled up in her hand and turned to dust.
He stood in shock as Rogue tipped her hand over and let the ashes fall to the ground. And then she cried.
Remy got his emotions together again and walked over to her and hug her.
They sat there Rogue crying in Remy's arms till she pushed him away and off the bench and ran to her room. Leaving a stunned Remy alone in the rose garden thinking about what the hell was going on with him and the people around him.

"I can't believe that, like, vampires are, like totally real." Kitty said walking past a room in the girls' wing.
"I know, it's like we jumped into one of Rogues' books." Jubilee agreed with her, "But if I knew that vampires looked that hot, I would have started watching vampire movies years ago." She and Kitty giggled.
Selene sat on the other side of the hall, listening to them talk. She sighed at their girl ness. She had come across many girly girls, but most of them were vampires.
She turned around to find Michael standing right behind her. She took a sharp intake of breath and slowly let it out. She was still having trouble trusting. Ever since Victor.
"He's getting closer." They both said at the same time. They both walked over to the bed and sat down, Michael laying on his back covering his face with his hands. And Selene cross legged at the head of the bed.
"We can't leave, They are the only ones who could help us, but I do not wish to hurt them, Michael. There good people, we should not have let them in on our world." Selene said, looking down at her feet.
Michael just took a long breath out and laid there.
They were in there room for the rest of the day.
It was about 6 o'clock when they heard a faint knock on the door, it opened to reveal Rogue.
"The Professor wants ta talk ta every one down in his study." She said.
And waited till they walked out the room till she turned and walked down to Xavier's office behind them.
When they walked into the professor's room, everyone looked at them, they sat down at the back and waited for him to start.
"As you all may know there are two visitors here, and they have come to us for help." He said glancing at everyone. His students. "They have come because there is another Vampire out there who is trying to hunt them down and kill them, if he does, he'll move onto humans then us. We can not let this happen." He said in deadly seriousness.
"So what's so special about him that makes him so strong?" Scott asked looking at Xavier.
"He is a mix between both vampire and………well werewolf, like Michael is." He explained, which made some people look at Michael.
"Why isn't Michael like that then?" Jean said, looking back to the Professor.
"Because, I don't want to make things, in his opinion right. He was made a vampire before a hybrid. He hated Lycans and when he found out that he was now half of that and the only elder left, he got angry." Michael explained.
"So he's after us. And he will not stop at anything. And you may be the only ones who can stop him." Selene said speaking up. It was still day so she was weak.
"This is, like way too much." Kitty said, leaning into Piotr's arms.
There was some mumbling till Logan's rough voice broke in.
"So how do we know who 'e is? An' how to kill it?"
Selene looked at him in shock, he just stared back at her.
"We don't." She whispered.
……………………………
After the meeting, some people went to watch a movie downstairs, Selene and Michael went in to the danger room, to work out, with Logan and Ororo. And Rogue went out side to walk in the forest.
She walked though the woods, looking at her feet till she got to a little stream, where she sat down and took off her gloves.
She sat and ran her dry right hand through the water, slowly back and forth.
When she heard a twig snap behind her she turned to see Remy walking round looking for something, or someone.
"Remy?" She asked, even though she knew it was him.
He turned to see her sitting there and walked over to join her. But she had stood up and was shaking her head.
"Remy, just go an' leave meh alone." She said, trembling.
Remy stopped and looked at her. She looked so fragile and innocent, yet she was way beyond her years.
"What?" He asked in slight confusion.
Rogue sighed, "Leave, Ah need ta be alone, an' Ah don't need ya flirtin'."
"Dat's, not fair, Cheré, you know Remy don't flirt with you anymor'." Remy said. Moving closer to her.
"Why are ya doin' this ta meh, Remy?" She asked, stepping back, getting closer to the stream.
"Doin' what Cheré?" Remy breathed out, moving closer still, causing Rogue to step back again in reflex and he court her when she nearly fell in the river.
Rogue being held up completely by Remy just said, "What are ya feelin's for meh?"
Remy was shocked by this question he nearly let go of her but held her closer to him.
"Chere." He whispered, looking away.
She saw the look in his eyes before he turned away and felt her heart contract.
"It's okay." She said, as he turned her round onto land. "It's not lahke Ah thought ya would lahke meh." She said breathing out a held breath.
Remy looked at her again, what? What did she think I feel? I like her, what is she talking about?
But before he could tell her she had walked off, deeper into the forest.
