Chapter Sixteen

Slowly Remy, Greg, and Ben opened their eyes. They looked around and got off the ground.

"Where is Rogue?" Remy asked, looking around." Dey must of took her."

"We must fine her," Greg said.

"Quickly," Remy said, running down the alley.

Greg and Ben followed close behind. Ben pulled out the map and looked around.

"Where would he take her?" Ben asked.

They stopped running. Remy took the map from Ben and looked at it for about five minutes.

"Dey might of taken her to dis abandoned junkyard," Remy said.

"Are you sure?" Greg asked, looking at the map.

"It's the best chance we got," Remy said," Now let go."

They started to run as fast as they could. The junkyard was about a mile away.

Rogue

Rogue slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was laying on the floor of a small room. It was too dark to see anything in it, but she did see a window that was broken. She tried to stand, but pain ran up her leg and she sat back down. She looked at her leg and made sure it wasn't broken. She looked back at the window and crawled to it. She looked out to see junk, lots of junk.' Must be a junkyard,' Rogue thought,' Must get out of here.'

Rogue looked around for a door, but didn't see one.' There must be a door. How did I get in here then?' Rogue question was answered when she looked at the ceiling. The door was right above her. Someone was looking down at her. She knew quickly who it was. It was Tim. He had an evil smile of his face.

"I see you are settled," Tim said.

"What do you want with me?" Rogue asked.

"Who said I wanted you?" Tim asked," Of course you wouldn't be here if I didn't need you for something."

Before Rogue could ask what it was, Tim jumped into the trailer. He walked over to her. She didn't move.' He can't touch me,' Rogue thought,' I'll be fine.' Tim grabbed both of her arms and pulled her up. She winced when she put her hurt leg on the ground.

"I'm sorry about that,' Tim grinned," I just didn't have time to gently put you in here."

Tim picked her up, without touching her skin. He then put her through the window. She tried to run, but Tim still had a hold of her arms. He quickly climbed out of the trailer. He started walking along a trail, that he had made awhile ago,pushing Rogue in front of him.

"Where are you taking me?" Rogue asked.

"To the middle of the place," Tim said," Your friends will be here soon and I want them to see."

Rogue eyes went wide when she was what was in the middle. There was some sort of machine that Rogue couldn't identify. She quickly tried to get away, but Tim tightened his grip on her arms.

"Just wait-" Tim started.

Just then something hit the machine and it exploded. Tim looked around, stil holding Rogue. Tim let her arms go and she fell to the ground in pain. Tim pulled out two knives just as Ben, and Remy ran out of their hiding spots. Tim ran at them, but one of the knives began to burn and he quickly dropped it looking at them, he backed up.

"Let her go," Remy yelled.

"Come any closer," Tim said, putting a knife to Rogues throat." I'll kill her."

Rogue was shocked that Tim had not touched her skin at all, which was kind of odd. Remy was looking at Rogue, who had tears in her eyes. There was nothing Remy could do. Tim smiled at looked at Rogue, who still looked shocked.

"I'm guessing that you don't understand why I haven't touched you," Tim grinned," I know you're a mutant."

"Is that why you took me?" Rogue nearly yelled," And how do you know?"

"I can see mutants," Tim said," They have a kind of red or blue light around them. You had a red light around you and I knew what you were. He." Tim looked at Remy, then back at Rogue." Also had a red light around him. The other had a blue."

Rogue looked at Ben and Remy. She noticed that Greg wasn't with them.' Did they tell him to stay behind?' Rogue thought,' Or is he gone? What happened to him?'

"Please," Remy said," Don't hurt her."

"Poor soul," Tim snickered," You know what? I think I'll kill her, just to see the look on your face."

Tim put the knife closer to Rogues throat. Just then Tim gave screamed in pain and dropped the knife. Rogue crawler away from him as fast as she could. She looked at what made him scream. It was Greg. He was holding the other knife, which was now covered in blood. He was shacking really bad. Ben ran over to him and took the knife away. Remy quickly picked up Rogue and looked at Ben and Greg.

"It's okay," Ben whispered as he led Greg back over to the others.

"I just killed someone," Greg said, tears running down his face.

"He was about to kill someone that you knew," Ben said," It was for the best."

"Now," Remy said," Lets get out of here before someone comes and find us."

They quickly turned around and ran out of the junkyard as fast as they could. When they were out they started to walk. No one said anything as they walked out of town.

A/N: Poor Tim. Greg is going to have some problems. Here is a preview of the next chapter.

"Greg," Ben yelled," What are you doing?"

"I killed someone," Greg said, more tears running down his face." And I can't live with that."

I know it a small preview, but at least it's something. Please Review.
