Chapter 2: Enchanting Eyes
The black sports car speed through the streets of Dalton blowing the leaves and litter in the gutter into the air. Squealing, the car pulled to a stop outside the new club Factor X. The bouncers at the door eyed the car warily as the doors opened. From the drivers' side cam a tall blonde woman, scantily clad in an all white outfit, she casually tossed the keys to a waiting valet who caught them with a grin. The blonde then made her way to the pavement where her friend had climbed out of the car.
"Put it round the back," the first woman told him in a sultry voice as she took her friend by the arm. "Smile or they won't let us in," she hissed in her friend's ear. The red and white haired woman forced a smile onto her face as they approached the door. She continued to smile but looked at her surroundings as the white dressed woman sweet-talked the bouncers. She tuned out her friends twittering voice as she looked down the long queue receiving many envious looks and glares. She was about to glare back when she felt a tug on her arm and turning back she saw the bouncers moving the barrier to let them pass. Walking through the blonde placed a hand on the bouncers and cooed thanks. As soon as they were out of earshot along the corridor the red haired girl turned to her companion.
"Ah don't know how ya do it Em, Ah really don't," she muttered.
"Practice Rogue, I'm sure you could as well," her friend replied with a wicked grin at the thought of Rogue flirting with someone to get into a club.
"Wipe that grin off of ya face, Ms Frost, before Ah do it for ya," Rogue told her with a light voice. They came to the end of the short corridor and into the main room. Directly in front of them was a large dance floor and beyond that was the DJ stand and a space for live performers. Of to the right hand side was a long bar with several staff serving. Along to the left was a raised platform with several tables and chairs and a flight of stairs leading up to a kind of balcony where there was more seating and a tiny bar tucked into a corner. Rogue glanced at her friends who's eyes had lit up with excitement. She rolled her eyes and pulled her friend towards the bar where they placed themselves. Rogue kept looking around her and finally decided that the club wasn't to her normal tastes at all but she would be able to stand it for a few hours.
"Can't you go any faster rock head?" Remy growled leaning forward from the backseat.
"Not if you wanna spend your night in a jail cell French boy. Now shut up and let me drive," replied Lance as he turned to Kitty for directions.
"Let him drive my friend," Piotr told him pulling him back, "we will get there with plenty of time to find her." Remy sat back and crossed his arms across his chest.
"There's totally no point in pouting Rem, it's not like she's go poof if your not there, like, right away," Kitty told him as she turning to see him properly from the front seat. This comment only made him sulk more so Kitty just shrugged and turned back to navigating. Soon they were pulling off the freeway and heading into Dalton, which was the known location of Rogue.
"Right, before we, like, left I checked out this area and there is this totally hot new club in town and I reckon this is where Rogue is like, gonna be so we should go there," Kitty explained and told Lance how to get there. They pulled to a hault outside and climbed out heading to the bouncers. Looking the foursome up and down they blocked the way.
"Got any ID?" asked one of the thickset men glancing at Kitty who pouted, they shook their heads.
"No ID, no entry," the other one said as he blocked the path with his wide frame waiting for them to leave. The foursome headed back to the jeep dejectedly and climbed in.
"Hey rock head, drive round de block and park," Remy told him as they pulled away from the curb. Kitty looked at him in confusion and he explained, "Dese places have more den one entrance." Kitty's face lit up as Lance parked about a block away from the club. They climbed out and followed Remy as he moved swiftly through the dark streets as if he knew where he was going. Crossing the car park at the back of the club they came to the back entrance, which was conveniently open.
"Split up and find her," were the only instructions form Remy as they entered the dark and thrumming room.
Rogue leant casually against the bar whilst watching Emma dance the night away with her newly acquired fan club. She smiled as her friends' actions before turning back to the bartender to order another drink. Sipping it slowly she thought back over the last hour they had been here. She had been right in the place about it not being her usual taste, they played the occasional good song that she liked and Emma was enjoying herself. If she was honest with herself the main reason she was here was to forget. Forget the whole thing with Carol, forget the nasty boys, everything. But there was one thing she couldn't forget. Remy. Sighing she finished her drink and pushed herself away from the bar and towards her friend on the dance floor, swaying slightly to the music.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors,
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul.
Rogue smiled as she heard the first few lines of one of her favourite songs. She joined Emma and her gaggle of partners. One of the guys spotting her, peeled off from the group and joined her. She eyed him warily as they began to dance making sure he didn't get too close to her.
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there and lead it back home.
Sure that her partner wouldn't move any closer she closed her eyes and sung along unheard by anyone over the volume.
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
Remy entered the club with Kitty, Lance and Piotr trailing behind hime. He headed for the bar to get a clearer vantage point, as the other three distributed themselves around the club. His dark eyes scanned the crowded dance floor til they came to rest on a blonde figure. His eyes quickly flickered over her body before he dragged himself back to the self appointed task.
Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life
His eyes scanned the group of gyrating bodies again when he caught a glimpse of white bangs with auburn. His eyes flicked back again and he spotted her. His ange, eyes closed, face relaxed, dancing to the song with someone. With someone? His attention moved to the guy, his demonic eyes narrowing dangerously.
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
He continued to watch the couple blocking everyone else out. As he sustained his observation his mind registered that this song was one of Rogue's favourites. He could hear her singing along in his mind as her lips moved in time with the words.
Frozen inside without your touch without your love Darling only you are the life among the dead All this time I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
Rogue swayed, completely lost in the music, in the moment. She felt so care free, so light, in fact slightly light headed. She realized she was floating about tow inches off the floor and glanced around making sure no one had noticed and forced herself onto the ground. She sighed as she continued to dance, this was gonna be a long night.
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Without a thought without a voice without a soul Don't let me die here there must be something more Bring me to life
Remy watched her as she danced noticing something new about her. Before he could put his finger on it he felt someone tap on him on the shoulder. He looked over to find Kitty there who was closely followed by Lance and Piotr. Kitty pointed to Rogue and Remy nodded back. He watched Kitty as she tried to tell him something but he couldn't ccatch it.
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside Bring me to life
As the song drew to a close Lance rolled his eyes and just shoved Remy into the crowd and towards Rogue. Remy watched her and moved through the crowd. Right, he thought, now or never.
The song ended and the next one started. Rogue's partner moved away heading to the bar leaving her alone on the dance floor surrounded by people pairing up for the slower tempo of this new song. She sighed softly and began to move through the swaying couples and off the dance floor when she felt an arm snake around her waist and pull her backwards; Rogue instinctively flinched and tried to dislodge the arm. Instead of escaping her captor, her movements were anticipated and she was spun around. Being held firmly around the wrists she glared up at her captor only to find herself looking into the eyes she had craved to see.
Just one look into your eyes One look and I'm crying Cause you're so beautiful
Remy held onto Rogue's wrists tightly as he gazed down into her wide emerald eyes. He smiled down at her and as he did so he saw her eyes shining with unshed tears. He pulled her small frame to him, wrapping his arms around her. He felt her arms encircle his waist and her head fall to rest on his chest. They began to sway gently to the music.
Just one kiss and I'm alive One kiss and I'm ready to die Cause you're so beautiful
Rogue let herself be rocked gently in Remy's arms the words of the song washing over her as her head rested on his chest where she could feel his heartbeat. She had so many questions, how did he find her, why was he here? But she held her questions, just lost in the moment, lost in the feel of Remy's arms around her waist
Just one touch and I'm on fire One touch and I'm crying Cause you're so beautiful
He held her close as they swayed gently to the music, which flowed around them in the dark and crowded room. How he had longed to find her, just see her, hold her. He leant down and rested his face in her hair, inhaling her scent.
Just one smile and I'm wild One smile and I'm ready to die Cause you're so beautiful
Rogue closed her eyes and tried to savour the moment forever but she had a nagging thought at the back of her mind that she just couldn't shake. Her grip around him began to tighten.
Oh and you're so beautiful My darling Oh you're so beautiful You're so beautiful Oh my baby You're so beautiful Remy felt Rogue tense in his arms and he wondered what was going through her mind as he continued to guide their swaying. Rogue's grip on him began to tighten gradually. He smiled at the action but it soon turned to a grimace as it continued to increase. It felt like she was going to snap him in two so he began to struggle against her as his breathing was constricted.
And you're so beautiful Oh my darling Oh my baby And you're so beautiful
Rogue felt Remy try and push away from her and it was then that she realized she had been squeezing to tightly and he was choking. She immediately broke contact with him and shoved him forcefully away sending him flying backwards into other couples. She stood for a second a look of horror frozen on her face as she saw Remy, the man she could have easily killed, as he lay sprawled on the floor slightly dazed. She spun on her heel and ran out the back door of the club leaving five very confused mutants and one delighted one.
Remy sat up on the dance floor as Kitty rushed over closely followed by Lance and Piotr.
"Remy are you, like, ok? What happened?" kitty asked, shouting over the music as she knelt next to him on the dance floor.
"Je ne sais pas," he shouted back, heaved his aching body up shrugging off Kitty's hand. He arched his neck looking for any sign as to which way Rogue had gone. He glanced at Piotr who signalled that she had gone out of the back door, the same way they had come in. He nodded and forced his way through the crowd followed by his three companions unaware that his movements were being monitored by two pairs of blue eyes.
Up in the walkway above the crowded dance floor stood an unusual looking woman. Her eyes were ice blue and her long hair was silver, which was pulled back into a French braid. Her eyes were focused in the red on black eyed mutant as he left, followed by a girl and two guys. Her eyes flicked from the foursome to a woman clad in white who was also watching the group. The blonde woman looked up into the balcony feeling the stare but when her eyes settled on the spot where the silver haired woman had been there was only an empty space. In the shadows of the stairwell the strange woman slipped out away unobserved.
Rogue practically ran out of the back door, the cool night air hitting her hot flesh as she made it through into the car park. She felt the tears welling up in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. She weaved her way though the parked cars towards a bench at its perimeter. She sat down heavily sighing deeply as she continued to fight the tears. Shit, she thought, shit, shit, shit. How could she have done that? She could have killed him, killed Remy. One thing that she cared about most even though she couldn't let him know and she had almost destroyed it. With one small squeeze she could have snapped him in half like a twig. This last thought was too much and the tears began to spill down her cheeks leaving trails in her thick make-up. She rested her head on her hands and finally let the tears come.
Remy made it out of the door and looked around him frantically for Rogue. His sensitive eyes picked out a dark figure sitting on a bench at the far end of the car park and he knew it was Rogue. He pointed it out to the others and went forward moving swiftly and silently across the car park as the others waited near the door.
The tears flowed freely now and Rogue felt better for it. She was letting it all out. All the anger, all the frustration of the past few months and all the loneliness. She wanted Remy so badly but she knew she couldn't, wouldn't, allow that until she could give him something back. She wanted to be normal, be able to do all the normal things that other girls did, but she knew she couldn't so that was why she had let. She had left to gain the control that she craved and so far it hadn't worked. For two months she had been training and had only got as far as being able to control her power for a minute tops. She sighed remembering why she was doing this. She did it for her self mostly but also for Remy. She smiled as she thought of him in the club a few moments earlier when she had first seen him. She had been so shocked and a million questions had raced through her head but the moment he had taken her into his arms they were forgotten but she hadn't been careful enough. She had almost killed him and for that she hated herself. Her cheeks grew cold in the night air as the tear tracks began to cool against her soft skin. She wiped her cheeks and eyes, which had finally stopped spilling their salty waters. And it was then that she realized someone was approaching her. She turned to face them and was confronted by a pair of enchanting eyes for the second time that night.
