I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to post this chapter, it may not be up to anyone's expectations because I am in the middle of my last year of school, and that is just total stress, and I have to force myself to write because my inspiration has gone on holiday (muse, please come back :( ). I hope this story doesn't go downhill, and please keep reviewing, my muse might be tempted to come back through some positive feedback, or may want to prove it is the best because of any negative feedback.

Rogue was very much scared by what had happened to James. She felt an urgency to learn whatever Jean was going to teach her and get out of that place. Rogue had a feeling that Jean's cavern was not protected like Xavier's school was, and she had another feeling that Jean knew this. Whatever James had been trying to do, Rogue knew that it wasn't his fault, though she tried hard to avoid him for the weekend, opting to stay in her room for most of it, waiting anxiously for the week to start so she could get her lessons done with.

Rogue was startled when she heard a knock at the door. She got off her bed as quietly as she could and hoped that her unwelcome visitor would not persist. As she stood facing the door, she wished that she had x-ray vision, like Superman. It sucked that she only had one potentially lethal power that had even almost gotten her killed once. She stood rigidly still for a few minutes until she thought the person outside was gone. Just as Rogue relaxed, though, there was another knock.
"Rogue?" Came the muffled sound of Callie's voice. "Are you in there?" As soon as Rogue heard her friend's voice, she opened the door quickly and pulled her in, shutting the door behind her. "Rogue, what are you playing at?" Callie sounded slightly irritated. Rogue sat back down on her bed solemnly. "What's wrong?" Callie suddenly sounded concerned.
"Can you see the past?" Rogue mumbled softly.
"I guess so." Callie sat down next to Rogue, now confused. "Why?"
"Because I want you to see what happened on Friday after I left you."
"After you left me?" Callie's voice was filled with relief. "So I'm not the one who confined you to your room."
"Can you look?" Rogue asked. Callie was hesitant, but she put out her hand.
"If I can separate the past and future, then I'm sure I can look into your past." She told Rogue as she took her hand. "This is gonna be like one of you lessons."
"Yeah, except what you see is probably going to scare you like it did to me." Callie quickly took her hand out of Rogue's.
"What was it?" She asked.
"I can't explain it. It would be better if you saw it." Rogue held out her hand again, but Callie just glared at it.
"What if I go too far back?" She asked.
"I wouldn't suggest that, my past has been… dangerous."
"Then-"
"Come on." Rogue cut her off quickly. "I need someone else to know about this before I go crazy, and Callie, when I leave this place, I really want you to come with me because of this."
Callie really didn't understand what Rogue was talking about, but she took her hand anyway. Callie hadn't known Rogue for all that long and so was tempted to dig deeper into Rogue's past, to see exactly what Rogue's power could do and what she had been through, but she trusted Rogue for some reason that she didn't comprehend, and so concentrated hard on getting into the past from Rogue's mind. The images were quick, and Callie pulled away as soon as she could.
"That wasn't James." She stated.
"I know." Rogue whispered. "That's why we've got to get out of here."
"Do you think Jean knows?" Callie kept the whispering going.
"Yeah, but Jean can take care of herself. I don't think she knows it's after me, though."
"Well, shouldn't you just get back to your lessons with her, then?"
"Could you… could you go tell her for me?" Rogue asked. "We could… have the lessons in here." Callie frowned at her.
"Rogue, you have to leave this room sometime."
"I know, just… not right now, please?"
Callie sighed as she stood up.
"Maybe Jean can talk some sense into you, then." She told her before she left the room. As the door closed behind her Rogue sighed and lay down on the bed. This was not going to be an easy talk with Jean. She didn't even know what had gone on, and now she had to tell Jean. Rogue closed her eyes and tried to will away the fear about what would happen to her in the future.

I'm sorry if that was a bad chapter (and short, too). But I have very bad writer's block right now, and I just had to post up another chapter for you who read my work. Thank you for your reviews, and please keep reviewing.
