Craaaaazy- my first reviewer for this fic. Thank you!
Rogue87- yes. Aren't dark fics and angsty fics just the best? Thanks so much!
Forgotten Angel- yes, I know it was short. Hopefully this is more towards your liking.
Rockyrml- always great to see your name there. Thanks for the review!
X-Storm- thanks for the review. You'll see what they do either in this chapter or the next.
A.N.- ummm, don't really have anything to say. Just do me a favor, if any of my characters seem OOC, please tell me. K?
Disclaimer- I own naught. And it'll do nothing if you think I do and come at me with weapons. I'm a masochist. ;) On with the messed up show!
"Hey Kitty? Have you seen Rogue? I need to speak with her about danger room sessions," the X-Men team leader inquired.
"Like, actually, I haven't. But I'll, like, tell her if I like, see her, like, ok?" (I am going to be cruel and stick as many "likes" in there as possible. If I'm pissing you off, then good. My work here is done. ;))
"Thanks."
Hmm. I like wonder where Rogue could be? It's already eight o'clock, and I know for a fact that she's like a total homebody and doesn't do any school activities. I think I'll like ask around. Kitty walked to the girl's dormitory, where she found Jean stepping out of her room. "Like, hey Jean?"
"Oh, hey there Kitty. What's up?"
"Umm like have you seen Rogue lately?"
Pausing, the red head answered her young companion, "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen her since school. During lunch, I think. Why?"
"Because Scott's like, looking for her, and I she's like totally disappeared on me."
"Maybe she's just at the mall? Or the book store?"
"I like, have no idea. Should we like tell an adult?"
"Well, we'll raise our concern to the Professor, and see what he has to say."
'Professor?' Jean called out to her mentor
'What is it?'
'It's Rogue. She hasn't been seen for a few hours. And normally she tells someone when she's going somewhere.'
'I agree with what you said to Kitty. Give her some time. Though, I will use Cerebro to be certain she is alright.'
'Thank you Professor'
"The Prof says not to worry, but he's going to double check on her where-abouts."
Relief showed on Shadowcat's features. "Like, thanks so much Jean. I'm sure she'll turn up eventually."

Rogue opened her eyes. Doing so, a massive headache began to form, making it very hard for her to think. Her eyes darted around. She saw very little; it was quite dark. At that moment, she got jarred from her sitting position. Then things clicked. I'm in a van? Where am I going? Better yet, who's taking me there? Suddenly, Rogue felt a small prick at the side of her throat, then slipped back to unconsciousness.

At the mansion, Professor Xavier had all of his X-Men in his office. His telepathy picked up on the great amount of worry from those in the room. He began his speech. "As I'm sure all of you are quite aware of by now, Rogue has gone missing. She was last seen approximately eight hours ago, is that correct?" A few of her classmates nodded grimly. "Now, I am aware of what some of you are thinking. But no, I do not believe she ran away. Kitty has informed us that all of her belongings are still in her room. Nor has she had any recent consideration of running away, even if for just a night. Now, this leads us to assume she was kidnapped." The wise old man waited a minute for the ramblings of those present to diminish before continuing. "I wish to wait until tomorrow morning for a search party to begin. I will, however, continually monitor Cerebro to see if she uses her powers. I advise that you all get some rest. These days to come will prove to be quite grueling, I'm afraid."
All the students exited the office, leaving Logan, Ororo, Hank and Charles. "Well Chuck, who do you think is behind this?"
"Your guess is as good as mine, Logan. It could be a mutant, it could be a human. It could even be a combination of the two working together."
"Where do you wish us to begin looking tomorrow, Charles?" the weather witch asked.
"I recommend asking the Brotherhood if they have seen her. In the event they have not, ask for their aid. I do believe they still feel some alliance with Rogue. Now, I do insist the three of you retreat to your rooms. The children will need your help through all of this."
Logan abruptly left the meeting, his head swarming with worry over his favorite student.

That night, Logan was having a fitful sleep. In his dream, he was in a black void. Though, he could feel someone's pain. He had never felt anything like it before, despite his years as Weapon X. Looking around, he tried to find a way to help whomever was in such despair. Finding no way out, he randomly began to run, but found that he was getting nowhere. He was in the same place as before. That was when he heard a scream. It was distinct: he had heard it before. His senses worked in over drive, trying to deduce some way of escape. The scream plagued his ears again. That's when it hit him. Rogue! He shouted her name, but got no response. Suddenly, the abyss grew still. There was no more shouting, and no more pain. No, it couldn't be. One final time he heard that disturbing scream, and it woke him, with his claws extended. The sound of agony was still echoing in his ears as he leapt out of bed. Then he remembered that she was not there, it was only in his dreams. But then, why did he feel the pain?

The van stopped moving, and Rogue was jerked forward by the sudden stop. The doors to the back of the van opened, revealing Duncan and his buddies. "Aww, did our wittle Wogue bump hew (her) head?"
One of the teens jumped into the van, picked her up, and tossed her out, onto the ground. Seeing spots, Rogue tried to stand up to run but found her body much too weak. She became aware of a cold sensation around her neck. Horror struck her as she associated it with the slave collars she had heard about. Oh god no. No. Let it be anything but that. Almost sensing her thoughts, Duncan bent down and ran a finger down the side of her face. "Welcome to Hell, Rogue. And believe me, you're never escaping."
