Chapter 3

"You can't just leave!" A twelve year old Rose yelled after the boys.

"We don't have a choice!" Victor yelled back. "Stop following us."

"Did you stop and think about what's going to happen to me?" Rose asked catching up to them.

"It's better that you stay here." Victor answered.

They all stopped. Rose stared at Victor.

"What's going to happen to me when the people realize that I'm not human?" Rose asked softly.

Victor stared. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

James spoke up. "You're coming with us. It was Victor's choice to leave you behind."

"Thank you James." Rose spoke looking at him.

...

"Let's get going." Victor spoke.

Why is an older Victor responding? Okay, this is weird.

Logan nodded and Rose simply followed them into a jungle. This looks familiar... oh crap! Rose looked around the village, and had a very better feeling.

"Takes us to the stone." Stryker ordered.

Stryker nodded to Victor, then Victor killed one of the members of the village.

"Victor enough." Rose yelled just as he killed another member.

Victor looked up at her with kill in his eyes. Rose stepped back, and grasped.

"This isn't right." Rose spoke shaking her head.

...

"Victor what happened to you?" Rose asked concerned.

"Nothing." Victor answered eyeing her.

Rose wasn't comfortable with the way he was looking at her. "Victor, what's wrong?"

Victor chuckled then went after Rose.

...

Rose woke up by falling on the floor. Rose shook her head and slowly got off the floor.

"I need a drink." Rose spoke to herself as she got off the floor.

Rose went down to the kitchen and looked through the refrigerator.

"What you looking for?" Logan asked.

Rose jumped and turned to Logan. "What hell Logan?"

"Didn't mean to scare you." Logan answered smirking a little.

"I believe." Rose remarked grabbing the milk.

Logan looked at Rose as she set the milk on the counter and went for a glass. Logan just watched as Rose poured herself a glass.

Rose looked up. "What you smiling about?"

"You don't drink milk. Well, you drink it but only when you're upset." Logan answered.

Rose eyed. "How do you know that?"

"I honesty don't know. I just remember watching you once, you were wearing someone's shirt and only that, you did what you just did now with the milk except that you were upset." Logan answered.

"You remembered me?" Rose asked a little surprised and suspicious.

"Well, it was either you or someone who looks just like you." Logan answered rubbing the back of his neck.

"Okay. Do you want a glass?" Rose asked.

"Sure." Logan answered.

Rose got him a glass, poured him some milk, and gave it to him before returning the milk to refrigerator. They both drank their glass of milk.

"It was Victor's shirt by the way." Rose spoke putting both of their glasses into the sink.

"Ah, so it was you?" Logan asked.

"Yes, it was me." Rose answered as she began to wash out the glasses.

"What you doing up anyway?" Logan asked leaning back on the island counter.

"It's complicated." Rose answered.

"Well, uncomplicated." Logan replied.

Rose finished washing and set the glasses on the counter next to the sink. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Fine." Logan replied back.

Rose sighed and began to leave the kitchen when Logan grabbed her arm.

"What?" Rose asked turning to face him.

"Why won't you help me?" Logan asked.

"I promised your brother Victor that I wouldn't help you in any way. I know that Victor probably doesn't care now, but a promise is a promise. Anything else?" Rose asked back as she pulled her arm away from him.

"Well, is asking you about people that I remember count as helping me? And how do you know that Victor wasn't referring to missions that we were sent on?" Logan asked curiously.

"You remembered Stryker, so I really shouldn't be surprised that you remember missions. I don't know about the second one and I honestly don't know everyone in your past to be able to help you out with that. You can try if you like, but I always have the option to not tell you anything." Rose answered.

"All right." Logan responded.

"Goodnight Logan." Rose spoke before she headed out of the kitchen.

If Victor shows up hear, I'm screwed. Maybe I should talk with Charles about these nightmares or flashbacks that I've been having lately. Rose thought as got back into bed, hoping that she would be able to fall back to sleep. I wonder where Victor is now? Probably killing something or someone...
