"Has have any of you like seen Rogue?" Kitty asked walking into the half-full rec. room
A chorus of 'no's' came to her ears in answer to her question. Kitty turned and exited the room to then walked up the staircase to the second floor. She came to the door she was looking for.
"Rogue?" she asked knocking lightly on the door.
Kitty, receiving no answer tried the door handle but found it to be locked. Taking a deep breath ready to risk the Rage of Rogue she phased through the locked door. Entering the room she found it to be emptier than normal. All Rogues' photos and personal items had disappeared from the shelves and desktop. The bed was neatly made and sitting white as snow on top of it was a folded piece of paper. Kitty picked it up and read the words.
"I have to leave for awhile. Don't look for me. I'll be fine"
Kitty let the piece of paper drift through the floor.
"Professor!" She yelled running from the room and down the hallway.
Rogue found her way to her bike and collapsed against it breathing heavily. Tears still escaped through her eyes and her lungs were in pain from her run. She knew he would follow, but for now she just had to get away. She climbed shakily onto her bike, steadying herself before pushing off and speeding away. He would find her again but right now she need her space.
Remy stood concealed in the trees watching her speed away. After several minutes her climbed on his own bike and followed her. He would find her again; he was good that way.
Kitty entered the professor's office, phasing right through the door without knocking.
"Professor, Rogue is gone," she cried breathlessly
The professor looked up from where he was working.
"She left a note in her room" the valley girl whispered as tears formed in her eyes
"We'll find her Kitty," the professor said as he wheeled passed her.
Kitty didn't want to go in again but she was the only one around who could get in to open the lock. She clicked the lock open and allowed Xaiver to enter a bare room. Picking the note up off the floor where she left it she then handed it to him. It read the words slowly, carefully taking them all in.
"I'll find her with cerebro and check she's ok" he said
"But professor —" Kitty interrupted
"But nothing Kitty" he replied sternly "she needs some time, leave her be"
Rogue pulled into a motel that had a flashing "vacancy" sign. She walked towards the front desk while pulling her wallet out of her pocket.
"One room for one night" Rogue said
The lady sitting at the desk tapped a few keys on the computer placed in front of her before taking Rogue's money and handing her a key in return.
"Room 2-35" she said returning to her work.
Remy found the motel where Rogue had stopped easily. Her custom worked bike stood out easily and wasn't had to find. Using his skills as a thief he found his way to her room and picked the lock to enable him to enter. The room was dark and empty, with the only light entering from the full moon through a small gap in the curtains. Seeing her know where in the room her turned to leave. He started towards the door when he heard a quiet sobbing coming from the direction of the bathroom. Making his way through the darkness he enter the new room, this one also dark. With his enhanced eyesight he found the girl he was looking for sitting on the floor, her knees curled up to her chest and her head rested on them crying. He made his way over to her and gently touch her left shoulder. At the touch Rogue lifted her head and met his glowing eyes.
"Chere, it's ok" he murmured gently
Rogue just sat looking at him tears rolling down her cheeks. He then pulled her into the safety of his arms and let her cry her heart out. Soon he felt Rogues body relax, looking down he saw the girl had fallen asleep. He lightly picked her up and carried her to the bed, placing her gently down on it before covering her with the blankets.
"Rêves doux chere" He whispered before kissing her forehead lightly (Sweet dreams)
