AN: Constructive criticism welcomed, but please, if you don't like the story just do what other people do and don't read it. Or let me know, in a non-rude way, that you didn't like the story. I wanted to write a story using the characters from the X-men movie, but I wanted to add my own sort of character. Hopefully it turned out well.
Chapter 6
The Woogy, it was the Woogy. Taylor didn't allow herself to think of what this meant even though she knew. It meant that someone knew where she was, someone with enough power to allow the Woogy out of the house and all the way to New York. It also meant that there was someone else who wanted her dead.
Taylor took another deep breath to calm herself before she grabbed a piece of paper and a pen to copy down the banishing spell. When she was finished, she donned her shoes and went to scry for Bobby and Rogue. She hoped she wasn't too late.
"Rogue," Bobby sighed as he held Rogue as close as she would allow. They had driven around for a while after the movie they'd caught, and ended up out front of the local high school. "What's wrong with you? You seem a bit, I don't know, distracted." Rogue nodded sadly.
"I'm sorry, Bobby. It's just that Taylor was so off today. I thought we'd get along really well, but today she just blew me off." Bobby lead Rogue over to a large oak and leaned up against it.
"Well, she's been through a lot, maybe she just needs time. I bet she's afraid you'll get hurt. You know, like how you feel sometimes. Everyone she's ever cared about has gotten killed or hurt and I bet she's afraid you'll suffer the same consequence if she lets you get too close. Just give her time and I'm sure she'll open up."
"I'm not so sure?" Rogue said looking up to Bobby.
"I am."
"How?" Bobby smiled.
"Because you did." Rogue smiled and Bobby pulled her close for a hug. Rogue looked over his shoulder and screamed. There was a large shadow of smoke behind Bobby and it was moving closer. Bobby turned at Rogue's scream and his eyes widened at what he saw. He turned back to Rogue.
"Move!" he shouted pushing her out of the way. Rogue landed on her butt and looked up in horror at Bobby. The shadow was on him. Just as she stood, white lights appeared in front of her and when they dissipated, Taylor stood in their place.
"Run," Taylor said without turning to Rogue. Rogue shook her head.
"I can't leave him! I can't leave Bobby." Taylor shook her head and looked at Rogue.
"It's not Bobby anymore," she said softly. Rogue looked to Bobby to see what Taylor meant. The shadow was forcing itself into Bobby who was screaming in pain.
"No!" Rogue shouted. She moved towards Bobby, but was stopped by Taylor.
"Look, if you don't leave, you'll get hurt and I can't fight him with you here."
"Are you going to hurt him?" Rogue asked fearfully. Taylor shook her head. "Then, let me help!" Taylor turned to Rogue with such intensity that she fell back a step.
"Leave!" Taylor ordered waving her hand over Rogue. The untouchable was then surrounded by white lights and then she disappeared. Taylor turned her attention back to Bobby, who by now had recovered and was in complete control of the Woogy.
"Nice to see you," he sneered.
"Bobby," Taylor said moving closer to him. "I know you're in there. Fight him, you can do it. He doesn't control you." Bobby, or rather the Woogy smirked.
"Oh, but I do." He threw out his hand and, before Taylor knew what was happening, he threw a fireball. On instinct she froze the oncoming object. She looked to Bobby to see that he was also frozen, but fighting his way through the freeze.
"Fuck," she whispered, unknowingly borrowing some of Logan's more colorful language. "I was hoping he'd stay that way." While he continued to fight she pulled out a piece of paper from her back pocket. Seeing that he was almost out of the freeze she froze him again before reading the spell.
"I am light, I am one too strong to fight. Return to dark where shadows dwell, you cannot have this halliwell." Bobby again fought through the freeze. Once he was unfrozen, he realized his predicament.
"No!" he shouted. Taylor only got louder.
"So go away, and leave my sight! And take with you, this endless night!" Bobby screamed once again as the Woogy took forced leave of his body. Taylor continued to chant the spell as the Woogy left Bobby's body. Once it had been fully banished she still did not relent.
Bobby looked up at the sky where the Woogy had gathered in a small mist of smoke and soon fell back as a flash of light erupted from it and it screamed, yet again.
"Wow," Taylor said. It seemed she was finally finished with the spell. She grinned at Bobby who sat on his knees panting at the sky. "Now that's what I call a vanquish." She laughed and went to help Bobby up. She allowed him to lean on her as he stood. "Are you okay?"
"Uh, yeah," Bobby said weakly. "I think so."
"Well, hang on," Taylor said with a smile. "I'll give you a lift home." White lights surrounded the two and they disappeared.
"Rogue!" Scott said for the fifth time to the hysterical girl. "Calm yourself and tell us what's wrong." Minutes before Rogue had appeared in the house in a flurry of white lights. Once she saw where she was she began to babble incoherently.
"T-Taylor…Bobby…s-shadow," Rogue hiccupped. Scott sighed and shrugged his shoulders at his teammates. It seemed Rogue could not be calmed. Scott was about to suggest that the Professor read her mind when more white lights appeared. It was Taylor and Bobby.
Bobby was leaning heavily on Taylor and panting as though his lungs were collapsing.
"Take him," Taylor grunted to Scott and Logan. The two men walked forward and grabbed the young man off of Taylor.
"Where in the fuck have ya been, k-Ice." Logan grunted as he and Scott went to lay Bobby down on the professor's couch.
"Oh, the usual," Taylor said lightly. "A little scrying, a little orbing, a little demon hunting. You know, what I always do." Logan looked over to Taylor suspiciously.
"What happened?" Scott asked before Logan could. Taylor turned to him and found herself reflected in his red shades.
"I had a vision that Rogue and Bobby were going to be attacked in front of a school."
"And you didn't tell anyone?"
"I didn't have time! I barely had enough time to find them and get there, there was no way I'd be able to alert you also. Besides," she huffed at him. "You'd only be in my way." At this both Logan and Scott growled menacingly. Taylor raised her hands in defense. "Look, you wouldn't have been any help in this fight. Only magic could stop this demon, none of your powers would have fazed it."
"How so?" Professor Xavier asked as he moved his wheelchair closer to the young girl.
"It was a demon of dark shadow. Its favorite party trick is to possess the strongest being it possibly can to cause as much destruction as it can. With you there it could have only had stronger victims. You can't help me with these fights. That's something I'll do alone." Logan glared at the girl.
"No it's not," he argued. Taylor smiled grimly.
"Wanna bet?"
