CH 5

Rogue opened the door wider allowing the woman to enter before closing it behind her.

"So what do ya want?" Rogue questioned sharply, returning to her spot on the floor.

"As I said I am Ororo Monroe, I work at Xaiver's school for gifted youngsters."

The two girls sat in silence waiting for Ororo to continue.

"The school is one for mutants, like me, Professor Xaiver and the other students we have."

"Oh yea? And what can you do then?" Rogue questioned sarcasm dripping off her words.

"I have control over the weather. I am also known as Storm. I am a weather witch as some of the students put it."

Emma causally looked at her chipped manicured nails, inspecting them closely, watching in amazement as one by one they began to harden like diamond as her anger grew towards the woman before her.

"So then what do you want from us? She asked the weather witch holding back the anger that she knew was boiling beneath the surface.

"For you to come to the school, even just to have a look." She answered, then looking at Rogue she said, "He can help you"

"Help me?" Rogue sneered, "No one can help me."

She then pulled her self to her feet and left the room, her head held high. Emma followed her friend out of the room giving the weather witch before an evil look as she passed by. Emma knew herself that she wouldn't go she had other things to do, but she felt that this placed the weather witch was offering would be good for Rogue. She found Rogue sitting on the top stair just down the hallway and sat down beside the girl. She could hear the thoughts of the other girl pushing into her own consciousness, Emma trying to control them, to push them anyway but it just wasn't happening. Finally she gave up on forcing the thoughts to stop and let them flow freely within the depths of her mind.

"They might be right" Emma told Rogue cautiously "Maybe they can help you. I know I can't maybe you should give them a chance."

"Emma they'll take me away, force me to obey stupid rules, squash me together with others they try to say are like me but in the end they're not quite the same. The worst part will be that they'll try to help in the beginning, they won't be able to get anywhere though and all I'll get is them giving up on me. I don't want that again, I don't want to be let down like I was with my friends and family so if I don't go I can't be disappointed."

"Just give them a chance Anna, maybe they can how you somehow and if not you can always come back here. Have a look see what it's like and hold out on them for a while, give them the chance to not disappoint you."

Rogue look at the girl as though she'd grown a second head, she sounded so much older and braver in that moment it amazed Rogue to hear it.

"What about you?" she directed at Emma "Where will you go? What are you doing?"

"I'm staying here waiting it out and if you don't return I'll know it worked out for you and you fitted in. Just go give them a chance, I'll wait around awhile but if you don't come back I'll move on"

Rogue smiled and hugged her friend tightly

"Ok I'll go, I'll give them a chance, and hopefully one day we might see one another again."

Emma hugged the girl back.

"Yeah hopefully" she murmured "Now get going, you've got a power to learn to control and you chance is about to leave."

Rogue smiled and looked up to see Ororo leaving the room. She ran to catch the woman and with that Emma was once again alone.
