Forever in a Distorted Mind
Summary: (AU : No powers) Rogue has a hereditary problem and a mental condition. No one knows how or why it happened but everyone wants to know it and why she's in Remy's care.
I almost didn't update this week. Luckily. I locked myself in my room so I could. Stupid people wanting me to go out. Haha.
Are my chapters really too short. Okay. Then. I'll do my best to make them longer.
Oh, and the hotel mention here is real. So I'm not sure if I should disclaimer it or not, but just it case. Whatever of Hotel Monteleone mentioned here isn't mine.

Chapter 5
Rogue awoke to the sound of crying. Almost automatically she fumbled to the crib. Picking up the source of the sound, she quietly rocked it and headed to the bathroom. After getting herself and the baby ready for the day, she headed to the door. She stopped at the sight in blocking her way out though.
"Non t'day cherie." Remy said blocking the front door.
Rogue was shocked to say the least. She didn't expect to see Remy awake yet.
"Move, sugah. Ah wanna go t' tha park. Didn't get a chance yesterday." Remy just shook his head.
"Cherie, we need t' talk."
Rogue just stared at him for a moment. He seemed serious.
"Alraght."
-----------------------------
Warren awoke to the sound of a constant ring. Opening his eyes, he groggily searched for the source of the noise. Finding his phone and viewing the caller id, he sighed, took a big breath and answered.
"Hello."
"Where are you?"
"Still in my inn."
"Where can we meet." The caller stated.
"Where are you staying?"
"Hotel Monteleone French Quarter."
"Pricey. You sure that's smart. Credit cards are checked you know."
"Oh, please. I used cash. I can spare it."
"Alright. I'll meet you in your lobby. It's not too far from where I'm staying."
"Fine."
And with a click the conversation was ended. Warren just laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"It's going to be a long day." He said dryly to no one.
After a while he got up and headed to the bathroom. He had to get ready to see Raven and Kurt.
-----------------------------
"What's wrong." Rogue asked setting up the mat for the baby.
"Ev'rythin'." Remy whispered.
"What?" She said as she place the child down.
"N'vermind. Tell Remy, where were you yesterday. Cherie wasn't there when Remy b' wakin' up. "
Rogue looked irritated at him. 'Again wit' tha third person view.' She thought.
"Jus' getting some groceries. Why?"
"Well, Remy when lookin' for you, cherie. Then I b' seein' Warren chsin' you."
Rogue paled. "Ah don't know how he found us. We were comin' out of tha store and he was there."
"So, w'at are we goin' t' do?" he asked. "We cou'd move again."
"Ah'm tired of runnin'.But I don't wan' him t', t'" she couln't finish as she broke into tears.
"Hush. Don't worry cherie. He won't b' takin' your bebe away." Remy said as he hugged her.
-----------------------------
As Warren smiled at the doorman as he entered the lobby. Straight away he spotted Raven and Kurt. Raven was sitting while Kurt was standing and saying how they should search for AnnaMarie themselves, to his mother.
"Good morning madam, Kurt." Warren greeted politely.
Kurt greeted back but Raven just nodded her head in acknowledgement. "How is she?" she asked.
"She looked alright. She is still as fast as ever. I sure she is still training."
"Very well. Would you like some breakfast?" Raven asked Warren.
"That would be nice."
They headed to Le Café. The casual looking eatery reflected the French café life, which New Orleans seemed to be linked to. After sitting down and ordering their breakfast, they began to discuss their plan of action.
"So are you sure she lives in the area?"
"I'm sure of it. I found her at a grocery store."
"Anytthin' else?" Kurt asked.
"Yes, well. I think she might be living with Remy." Both Kurt and Raven dropped their teacups.
-----------------------------
Remy sighed and drank his coffee. He watched Rogue as she called the baby over to her. When she stopped crying, everything was like the conversation never happened.
"So, how b' the bebe doin'?" he asked.
"Can't ya see for yourself?"
"Seems shaky, cherie." Remy answered a little unsure.
"Jus' ya wait and see. Soon we'll hav' a champion runner." She laughed.
"If you say s' cherie." Said Remy as he bit into his toast. "Com' hav' some bre'kfast.'
"In a moment, Swamp Rat."
"W'at did you c'll Remy, cherie." Remy asked a bit shakily.
"Swamp Rat. Why? Got a problam?" She smirked.
Remy stared at her before Rogue suddenly began shaking.
-----------------------------
Tea was all over the floor at their feet along with broken glass.
"What do you mean she's with him."
"Ja. Remy is vif Jean Luc."
"I'm sorry, but he isn't. I spoke to him yesterday. He told me to keep away."
"What!" Raven and Kurt shouted. They didn't care if they were in a public place or that the whole café was staring at their table. The waiter sent over to clean up the mess was too afraid to approach after their shout.
Warren feeling the heavy tension; quickly tried to calm them down. "Madam, Kurt. Please, calm down. At least we know she's safe with him."
"I guess you may be right." Raven breathed out, slightly calmer.
Kurt on the other hand didn't take the assurance as well as Warren had hope he would.
"ARE YOU CRAZY! HOW COULD SHE BE SAFE VIF HIM!" he said angrily. "T'IS IS MIEN SCHWESTER VE ARE TALKIN' ABOUT!"
Warren and Raven just stared in shocked at the normally shy and silent boy.
"KURT! Calm down!" his mother's strict voice broke him out of his mild bout of anger.
"I think we should leave now." Raven said calmly. She paid waiter the money for the food they never ate and the amount for the teacups and left still having the air of dignity around her. Let it never be said that Raven Darkholme was not a woman of dignity in any situation.
The two men just followed her out. Both deep in thought.
-----------------------------
"Merde." Remy cursed and quickly rushed to Rogue's side.
"NOOO! GET AWAY! AHHHHHHHH!" Rogue screamed. She kept struggling against Remy's hold.
"Cherie. Ple'se hold on." He said pulling a knife out of his pocket.
"NO! WHERE AM I! LET ME GO!" Quickly Remy made a gash parallel to the one he had made a few nights ago.
"GIVE IT BACK TO ME!" Rogue screamed just as Remy pressed the bleeding wound to her lips. But she turned her head. Her eyes were moving frantically.
"NO! GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!" Tears bagan to leak from her eyes. "AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Remy quickly sucked as much of his blood he could into his mouth while trying to keep his hold on Rogue. It wasn't easy, as she was clawing the arm holding her.
"I'LL KILL YOU! JUST WAIT!"
Grabbing the back of her head he forced his mouth onto hers as she breathe in. Rogue tried to turn her head away but the hand kept her still. She whimpered as the taste of blood flooded her mouth. Her eyes began to dilate, as her mind began to swirl. She didn't want to swallow the red liquid but Remy forced her to. She whimpered again as she began to feel dizzy.
Remy kept looking into her eyes the whole time. He held the 'kiss' a little longer after Rogue had swallowed the blood. As her pulled away he looked at her flushed face and noticed a trail of blood from the side of her mouth.
He wiped it up with his finger and offered them to her. Rogue looked at the blood on his finger with clouded eyes and took it into her mouth.
Tbc…
--------------------------------------------------
So what do you think. This chapter has to be the longest one so far. A lot of screaming in this chapter. But hey at least Rogue and Remy kissed, sorta. Heh.
