Never again was she going to come out. Not for anybody. Not even
Pietro... no Scott. She hated Pietro as well. Why did she hate Pietro
again? Oh yeah, he decided he was going to start something at the Bat Cave
with Scott. Pietro was definitely was a sore loser, but what had he lost.
Wasn't this still just a bet with Allana? She didn't know anymore. Maybe
if Scott came she'd come out to see him, if he came at all that is. She
had heard Scott and Allana's argument as they approached her door and
deemed it necessary to give the response she had given. She didn't care if
she sounded bitchy, Allana had been a bitch to her all day. First with the
whole kissing Scott thing this morning and then trying to act like nothing
had happened during lunch. And who could forget what happened this
afternoon. Rogue rolled over to face her ceiling as it started to fog out.
Rogue had come downstairs just as Allana was leaving for who knows where and decided she was hungry. She found Scott leaning against the counter in deep thought. She set about ignoring him and got an apple.
"You know you need to talk to us some time." He had said.
"So?" She bit into her apple.
"She's not here anyway, you can talk to me."
"How long have you and her..." She trailed off as to not choke from the tears that threatened to spill if she went on.
"Never, Allana was acting really bizarre this morning, and she kissed me... I pushed her away then saw you running off. I tried going after you."
Rogue wasn't sure if she believed him, but nodded anyway.
"Besides there's someone else I'd rather be kissing with..." Scott trailed off. Rogue blushed. That brought on thoughts of Allana telling her that she may be able to help. She felt betrayed. Scott had moved to face her.
"And who would that be?" She breathed. Scott drew closer till his face was mere inches away from hers. She never heard the answer because the kitchen door flew open and in stomped Allana. Scott backed away from her. Allana's eyes narrowed.
"What's going on in here?" Allana asked vehemently.
"Why do you care?" Scott challenged.
"Am I talking to you?" Allana turned to Rogue. "What's going on in here?"
"Not a thing." Rogue shrugged. Apparently she had said the wrong thing because a dangerous gleam came into Allana's eyes.
"Oh really?" Allana moved to the counter where a mug sat. She began tossing it up and down like a ball. "So nothing's going on?"
Rogue got scared then, what was the matter with her? Where had she seen that look before, she couldn't recall. "Answer me, damn it!" Allana screeched.
"Allana what is your problem?" Scott put a protective arm around Rogue. Again the wrong thing to do.
"That's right, it always has to be my problem, right?"
"Ya're scaring me." Rogue told her shakily.
"Good, maybe then I can get my point across." Allana still tossed the mug up and down. "You know, I've come to discover that you Rogue are a user, you use me to help you with Pietro and Scott and what thanks do I get in return, huh? Nothing! I mean, who says that I don't like Pietro or even Scott? So how do you think it makes me feel to see some ungrateful little shit, such as yourself use me to get to them." Allana no longer sounded like Allana, she didn't know who this person was, but it definitely wasn't her friend.
"Lets try and work this out." Scott began.
"Will you just shut the fuck up for five seconds?" Allana yelled. Just then the sound of many people running sounded as most of the mansion came to see what the commotion was. "I'm through with working stuff out, I ready for some action, how about you, Rogue?" Rogue looked away. "Look at me, Bitch!" Allana thundered and threw the mug at the opposite wall. The mansion's inhabitants broke through just in time to see this.
"What the heck is going on?" Some were asking. Rogue shrugged out of Scott's grasp and looked at her former friend. "Ah'm looking, and the only bitch Ah see is you." Rogue barked.
A look of extreme pleasure came and went from Allana's eyes. "Lets go then." Allana moved forward to attack her and suddenly Allana was being held back by Tobias and Evan. Rogue was like wise being held back by Scott and Bobby. Just then Hank and Ororo came in and the commotion ended.
"What's going on here?" Ororo looked around. Allana fought to get out of her captors grasp, Rogue just let herself be contained, she didn't want to fight anyway. "I demand an explanation."
"I don't have one!" Allana yelled breaking lose from Tobias and Evan. She pushed through the other students and left. Only the sound of the slamming door marked where she had gone.
"What happened?" Hank asked concerned. Tears started to stream down Rogue's face as she pulled out their grasps and like wise left the kitchen. She went upstairs and refused to come out for anyone. The professor tried coaxing her out, but she put up a mental block, the one she used if ever this kind of situation occurred. The fog cleared and Rogue was still in her room. She didn't understand what had come over her once friend, but she knew she didn't like it.
**************
Well... we finally know what happened right? Oh boy, not good at all.
Oh yeah... the Rietro I've been promising since forever is finally posted, the first chapter anyway... It's called Challenges and is an AU fic... I hope you enjoy it.
