Hey!

A-level exams have been taking up most of my time this week. Just finished my French…that was fun! Not. This may not be a great chapter. I am depressed because of my exams and I have writers block.

Anyhow! How is everybody else?

REVIEW RESPONSES:

Chicita: Yes the Angst begins. I'm not sure about the happy ending though...not yet anyway.

Rogue Gal: Hope your holiday is going well or went well! Bella comes into this soon as for Mystique? lol, i'm still not sure! I make this up as i go along.

goddess-lil-angel: Yep, 'Miss Attitute' is definately back! Thnaks for your review!

Sweety8587: You hate me? Why? Not that i mind. I loved your idea of Bayville Bimbo Chainsaw Massacre. What a movie that would make.

Chica de los Ojos Cafe: Your review made me laugh so much! Bitches and mothers do tend to be the same thing...mother in laws are even worse! My brothers mother in law in criticising me right now, my brothers not home so she's had to find another victim. Evil person.

Kyo-Kitty: Thankyou for the review! Poor Rogue and Remy...particulary Remy!

Disclaimer: duh. I do not own anything you recognise here.

Blood Connections

Chapter 13

Today was the day. Remy had been up since six o'clock this morning, even with the lack of sleep the night before. He was too wired; this needed to be done right. However, there may not be a right way to say what he was planning. How do you explain to your girlfriend that you may be married, you almost killed your supposed brother-in-law and the police want you? They stopped producing handbooks about this sort of things when black and white picture films went out of style. He guessed he should start with the words, "I'm sorry," of course that depended on being able to talk, even staying alive would be a blessing. Rogue had a temper and Remy had often witnessed the people left in its wake.

Grabbing his third cup of coffee, Remy walked downstairs and out of his apartment, ready, as he would ever be to confess his troubled past.

Today was the day. Although for what, Rogue was unsure, she had decided late last night that revenge would be the only way to ease her pain but she had no idea how to get the revenge she craved. It would have to be big; he needed to be crushed as he had crushed her. She needed to know his weakness but when she had been with him the only thing she had concentrated on were his strengths, the weakness had not mattered to her then. No, she tells a lie! She does know a weakness, pretty girls. That would not work though…he would only enjoy that, he already had. No, it needed to be bigger, something that she could, in effect, ruin his life with. Never cross a women scorned…and be the one to scorn her.

Remy walked down the street leading to Bayville's park. They had come here often him and Rogue. They would meet under the oak tree he had first taken her to and they would talk for ages…sometimes they would do other things too. Remy smiled at those memories, they had been dating only few short weeks but he loved her more than anything already. He should have refused Casey, ask her where she had learnt about his past and then thrown her away from him. It did not matter, he had been trying to protect Rogue and she had ended up hurting twice as badly, he still had to tell her about his past, he still had to face it.

Rogue sat under the oak tree. She knew he would turn up here eventually; this is where they had had all their secret meetings…out in the open, just like him and Casey. She had been thinking for a long time and came to the decision that the only way to find his weakness would be to get close enough to him again, and look for it. She would not be taken in by his charm this time, she had prepared himself for all the excuses she knew he would say and she had her responses. She would be the understanding girl friend, hurting from the betrayal but willing to give the relationship another try. He would take her back, she would find his weakness and he will cash and burn. Everything was set…all she needed was the main character, the villain. And there he was.

There she was, under the tree. Remy smiled but quickly remembered why he was there and set his face back into a blank stare. He walked over to her, praying she would not run away. Praying that he still had a chance with his angel.

Faze one complete. How right they had been…revenge is sweet.

That turned out better than I imagined, having writers block and all. I got stuck at this bit so I've left it here for today.

Reviews are welcome, they help me write. Some of your comments give me little ideas for plots and such. You have no idea how much I appreciate them.

Hope you liked this chapter.
