CH 13

"Why'd you come back?" a voice hissed from somewhere towards Rogues left

"You're not wanted"

The voices grew louder and stronger as more joined in.

"Murderer"

"Killer"

"Thief"

"You should've come back"

"Just leave"

"You can't stop it, you were chosen for this, thief"

"You'll only ever hurt them"

"Go fulfill your destiny!"

Rogue sat up from her collapsed position on the floor gasping heavily for breath. She looked slowly around remembering she was still in the kitchen where she had collapsed. She sat up properly rubbing the pain out of her neck.

"It's your destiny. You were chosen for this. You can't change a world that is already written" She heard whispered through the wind.

Looking around she saw no sources for the whispered voice.

"You can't run!"

Looking around again Rogues green eyes met the red glow of another pair. A scream slipped from her lips and encompassed the room.

"Chere?" a voice came curiously through

"Remy?" Rogue answered back

Moving forward he pulled her lithe body into his arms as she fell into tears.

"I sorry Rems" she whispered "I just didn't want to hurt you. I wanted to keep you safe"

"Chere," Remy whispered lifting her chin to look him in the eyes, "you can't hurt me. I love you, it's my job to keep you safe not the other way around. I'm here to help and always will be"

Rogue nodded and fell back into his arms finally able to fully relax.

"It's your destiny"

Rogue walked alone, following the dirt path through the now overgrown trees.

"What is my destiny?" she asked the trees knowing no reply would come

Walking deeper she emerged at a clearing she knew so well long ago. Hung from a branch was a wooden swing tied up with strong yellow ropes. Sitting on the homemade swing that she made so many years ago she drifted back in time.

As a young girl she had been abandoned. Left on the streets without a home, without anyone to look after her. Irene and Raven had taken her in and cared for her. Rogue always thought it was a selfless act they made while she was a child, but now she knew better, they just wanted her for the power she had. They looked after her until several weeks before her powers manifested. They gave her a freedom she would never know again. She still had touch then, she was still normal. Then Irene had a vision, she told Raven that if she stay no matter what Rogue would die. Raven left after leaving just Irene to care for Rogue. Rogues first kiss then was also her last, well until Remy. Her powers manifested at the same time and Cody ended up in a coma. That was the last time Rogue ever saw home again too.

Rogue snapped back from her past feeling a hand touch her back and tears glittered on her eyes. Look up she saw Remy had found her and was watching her worriedly. He leaned down and kissed her. A real kiss that would never hurt him like it would others.

"It's ok chere" he whispered "everything will be ok"

"Follow the lies if you like. It's still your des6iny, it's still what you were chosen for" the voice whispered for Rogue and only Rogue once again
