Chapter 1: The beginning
A young girl, about the age of three, was slowly walking down the street with just a rag for a dress and a cloak to cover herself with. She was scared; she hadn't meant to hurt him, and she had to get home. But where was home? She had been lost for hours now. All she had to do before was turn the corner and there it would be, but now she turned corner after corner and still couldn't find the way home. A lady, blind and walking with a stick, came out of the house and called to the girl.
"Rogue, Rogue, come home." The girl by now had despaired, but she heard, just barely heard, the voice calling her. 'I'm almost there,' the girl thought. She turned a corner and just like every day she was home again. She walked up to the door and walked in, she was home. She turned to close the door and then went into the living room to find her guardian, Destiny.
"Where have you been Rogue, you had me worried?" the lady calmly but firmly asked.
"I...uh...was just playing with Cody again, that's all."
"I know what happened Rogue, but you mustn't be afraid. You won't harm anyone here."
"So, I really did kill him," the girl asked frantically.
"No, you just put him to sleep for a while. Don't worry Rogue, I will keep you safe," the lady's word were soothing, they came slow and calm.
"But...but what if the people find out it was me, what if they come after me," she was scared and did not want to stay here any longer. The lady got up and put her arms around the little girl. The girl ran out of her grasp.
"No, don't touch me. I don't want to stay here. I don't want to hurt anymore."
"Don't worry Rogue everything will be just fine," the lady said as she tried to reach for her again. The girl ran at her screaming, "NOOOOOOO!" The two of them hit the wall, with a bang. Little did the girl know all this time she had been toughing the lady, with her hand to the lady's hand. Once the girl had stopped crying, she opened her eyes. However instead of seeing the room, or the door, she saw visions; everywhere she looked all she saw were visions. Rogue clawed at her head to make the visions stop. She even ran out into the street, to make them go away.
A boy just barely five, by the name of Remy LeBeau, was prowling the streets that same night. He happened to come across a strange girl that was clutching her head like she had a very bad headache.
"Do you need any help?" he asked cautiously. He etched closer to get a better look at her. The girl was crying but was making no sound, just mumbling some words that sounded like, "go away, go away." She was coming nearer to him now, although, she was slowly losing consciousness. Remy caught her just before she hit the ground. She was lighter than he had expected. He tried to open the door to what apparently was her house but it was locked. So he carried her to a near by tree that offered a lot of shade. He then looked down at her before he left, but he was so mesmerized by her serene look that he couldn't move; it reminded him much of an angel. He stared at her for a long time, until her eyes started to open. She stared up at him and seemed startled at first, like many people because of his eyes, but then seemed to calm down. She raised her head to see where she was.
"Your house is just 'round the corner." She looked up at him with a frightened look, but quickly masked it with a look of indifference.
"There's no need to go back," she said calmly. She got up and began to walk down the street again.
"Where you goin?"
"I dunno, somewhere away from here." Remy followed her until she stopped.
"What are ya doin?"
"Well...I'm following you till you know where you are."
"Fine but no questions, got it?!?"
"Ok." They walked on like this until it began to rain.
"I dunno 'bout you Rogue but I think we need to get under somethin quick."
"Yeah I guess, look over there looks like a porch we could go under." They stay at the house for a long time when finally Remy says to Rogue.
"I don't think this rain will be lettin up any time soon."
"Then do you suggest we do?!?"
"No need to get angry now, just telling ya that we need to be leavin soon. I can take you to a lady I know but she lives far away from here." Rogue looked up for her lap, with an eager look in her eyes.
"The farther the better."
