The Prince , The Maiden, The Curse

Before I start this chapter I would like to once again thank my reviewer(s) ( which basically means Santiva Potter)


Chapter 3: Our Special Place

As Rogue led Bobby to her ' Special Place' Bobby noticed how beautiful she was under the moon light. He never saw her at night but even during the day she had the beauty of an angel.. The way her skin looked at that moment was breath taking. He just wanted to stare at her forever but then he almost tripped over the tip of a bridge.

" I said watch your step . Were almost there . It is just beyond this bridge.

As they crossed a bridge that led over a dirty watered river they came to another bridge . This time they stayed on the bridge.

" here it is" Rogue said cheerfully.

The sight Bobby saw at that moment was breathtaking . They stood over a river that shimmered in the moonlight . The water was so pure it looked as if it were white. All around there was roses so it smelled heavenly there. The grass was a healthy green and the trees were white . So everywhere you looked it looked like a million lights. It might be the fireflies floating but it still seemed like the trees.

" wow" he whispered to himself .As he took one more look around he heard humming . It sounded beautiful. As if song by and angel and her harp. the humming turned into soft singing. He figured it was probably Rogue.

He slowly walked up to the railing of the bridge where she was leaning and looking to the river's perfect moon horizon. He leaned forward and just let her soft singing pull him into a daze. (a/n it sounds like 1000 words in X2

'She's tired of this world

Tired of hiding behind this mask

they're trying to teach her

how to control this "gift"

But she wants it gone

she wants to wake up and be free

She's a prisoner

Inside her skin

she's tired of being her

Stuck In that skin

So set her free

and watch her drift away

She's tired of being her

she wants to be someone else

To touch life

without feel it die

She's tired of being her

but her skin will not

permit her to

change

She's tired of being her

stuck in that skin

so set her free

and watch her drift away

Day by day

She passes through

this world

never touching a thing

A fake smile

She must always wear

So none know of her

Imprisonment'

Everything was quiet after that .He just looked up at the stars . He tried to understand her song. He had never heard it before. The song and the melody…everything just made him so…..sad. Then he heard soft sobs. He turned to see that Rogue was crying. He just wanted to hold her so she would know he would always be there for her. He decided to approach slowly. As soon as he was near her he wrapped his arms around her cloak and he was ready to be pushed away but till then he held her like they were lovers.

Just the feeling of him caressing her made her feel alive. but then she began to think ( which I might add never turns out good for her.) 'this feels so nice just to feel his warmth through his silk shirt. I just want to stay like this forever but this is the closest I will ever be to a living touch' but she was brought from a thought by a whisper only she could hear from her position beneath his mouth " I'm having a party later this week. think of it as a birthday party and I was wondering if you would attend. No need to bring a present. I would just like to see you . Please say you'll come?" she only looked up and nodded. At that moment she saw his face lean in for a kiss she couldn't move away because his scent was intoxicating.

Before long his lips were upon hers .She wanted to feel the touch of another for as long as she could remember and it was actually happening. Tears came to her eyes. She didn't want it to stop but then she noticed he was starting to choke a little. A lot actually . She bushed herself off of him quickly. As soon as she did he started to gasp for air. As soon as he got his breath back all he did was stare at her.

" wha…what just…happened?" he asked still staring in shock.

"I didn't mean to im..I .."she said standing quickly to her feet.

She ran by him but before she passed him she stopped and as tears ran from her cheeks she looked away from him and said

" Now do you see why we cant be together? Do you like me now? Knowing the fact that I cant touch or they'll die! I said I was sorry you didn't have to stare at me like I was crazy! I'm sorry! DON'T YOU GET IT! I AM TO NEVER LOVE ! NEVER…" but then she paused to make her voice sound like she wasn't crying. But it was already clear she was. Then when she was sure she could say it ,she spoke " I…didn't want anyone to get hurt on my behalf. Don't you see? I will never be able to love. I wasn't meant for …that type of life. So, if you want to love someone intimately I suggest you forget me. Please let me go. You shouldn't have to suffer what I am stuck with for the rest of my life. This is my battle , my curse , I am gonna fight this alone. Your not meant to be in the picture. Sure I might lose the battle and I goes out of control but you'll live happy so just go and forget me. Let…let me go. I'm so ..so sorry!" as she finished she rushed off . She ran and as she ran ,she felt a loneliness she had ever felt . It was greater than when her parents died .She felt a lump that was stuck in her chest.

' Alone ..there's no one to suffer with me but it suddenly felt so much better to know I am no longer a burden. But I will never feel the touch of him….'she thought as she ran..

She was always gonna be alone in that skin.
