Chapter 14: "Bring it!"
Rogue grimaced, "Logan…" She stepped forward. "you ok?"
"Ya kid, give me a minute to heal and I'll be great." Logan said with a smile but it was engulfed my pain and dizziness.
"Good." She replied putting on a sweet grin. Logan sigh feeling some strength in him, he tried to stand. Half way up he paused, sniffed…
"Rogue move!" He yelled, head shooting up in Rogue's direction. But as the words left his mouth a pair of strong arms pulled Rogue back. Rogue couldn't move. Her arms her pinned to her side and her feet were barley longer on the ground.
"Now what's a little bitch like you doing here?" A heavy voice purred in Rogue's ear. She remembering the voice all too well and knew it could only belong to the one and only Julien Boudreaux.
"Let me go ya fucking son of a bitch!" She spat back at him starting to struggling harder but his grip on her just tightened.
"LET.HER.GO!" Logan yelled taking a step forward. Julien smiled over at Logan.
"I don't think you want to do that." He said bringing a sharp knife out from it's strap by him side and waving it lazily under Rogue's chin. Logan stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes narrowing with pure rage. "That's it be a good boy and stay where you are." He looked down at Rogue, "Ya know sweetie you've been a bit too much trouble for are liking."
"Oh yea? How's that?" Rogue asked, proud she was getting on his nerves.
"You just don't know when to quite," Julien snarled pressing the knife against her neck, but not enough to draw blood. "And you, you got in my way. No one does that!" He exclaimed staring at Logan.
"Let.her.GO!!" Logan howled. Julien laughed,
"That sounds like a challenge."
"You want to fight? Fine." Logan said with out thinking, he was still too weak to be much of a fight now but as long as he let Rogue go for a moment then there might be a way things to work out.
Julien huffed. He could take him. "Fine. You got a fight." Julien said pulling the knife away from Rogue's throat and pointing it at Logan. He pushed a very angry Rogue to the ground but she was up in a second. She threw out her hands and caught Julien by the neck. At once her powers kicked in and she felt him memory being sucked in to her mind. Julien swung around and punch Rogue in the jaw sending her flying off of him. She rolled along the ground and was up again to see Logan jump at Julien.
"Logan I know where he is!" Rogue shouted in shock.
Logan smiled. "Go get him then! I'll be fine." He answered after throwing Julien into the trees. "I'll fallow shortly" He extended his claws and headed after his prey. Rogue clambered up to her feet and sprinted off down the road kicking up dusk with her feet.

"Fuck." Remy breathed removing his bowtie and coat. Over, he just wanted this to be over. Well he mad it through the wedding and the awkward silence in the reception was getting to him. But it didn't matter how many people were there he still managed to slip out unnoticed for now. He made his way along the hall dragging his tuxedo coat behind him. He didn't know how long he'd been wandering around the empty halls but he soon found himself on the second floor balcony looking out over a fenced in garden. He sighed heavily leaned against the railing. The sky was darkened by the thick black clouds making it look later then it really was. What was it really? Five? Six o'clock? Maybe not even that. Movement off to the right caught his attention. Looking up he saw a black figure climbing over the fence, moving too slow to be Thief or Assassin. The figure's movements were uncertain and a bit afraid the way the hugged the wall as the walked along it. Remy looked around for a way down. Seeing a vine and trellis not far to one side of the balcony he figured it would save him the time of going all the way around the house to get to the stairs to get to the door of the garden.

Rogue did her best to keep to the shadows along the wall of he garden. Stopping at every possible sound. She thought she was going a pretty good job until she was pushed from behind against the wall. She wasn't behind held tightly, she could have just pushed her attacker off with one shove but something stopped her. A voice, not just any one's, the voice she'd been dying to hear for the past three days.
"It was a bad idea to come here! What do you want?" the voice was deep and rich with a New Orleans accent. Rogue thought she could brake out into tears but no she had to see his face, she couldn't be wrong, not now.
"Chere?" She whispered smiling like a little child. The hands on her back let go.
"What did you say?" Remy asked backing off slowly. It was a girl he had just shoved into a wall, that really didn't matter but it was something that made him let her go. The sent of her hair, the weakness in her voice, what?
Rogue turned slowly looking up into his red burning eyes. The shock on his face making her blush harder more then she already was.
"Hello Remy." 'Nice Rogue that's the best you could come up with?' She yelled at herself.
"Rogue?" He stepped closer; reaching out to touch her, just to touch her. He traced her jaw line with his fingers. Rogue flinched as he stroked the bruise on her chin. She came closer to him, walking out of the shadow so he could see her face more clearly. "How'd you find me?"
"Long story." She said placing her hands on his chest. He didn't know what to do, yell at her or kiss her. He convinced himself that yelling at her would be rude as he went with his second thought. Remy pulled Rogue into his arms and kissed her firmly. Rogue tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled him closer still. She whimpered as his tongue stroked her lower lip. Remy's once hand smoothed down her back and fanned out over her hip, the other was lost in her messy unbrushed hair. They stayed like this for what seemed like forever. Finally braking apart for much needed air.
"Rogue." Remy whispered cupping her check. "Why? How?" Rogue lightly put a figure to his lips.
"Shh. I'll explain, but we have to go." She said abruptly pulling Remy towards the back wall remembering Logan. But he didn't fallow. Rogue turned back and looked confused. "Remy, please come back with me. I am so sorry for what I did! It's all my fault. You have to forgive me."
"I do chere and it was never your fault." He told her truthfully.
"Is there something else? Do you not want to come back? What is it? Remy tell me." She tugged at his arm again but he still wouldn't move.
"I can't go." He said.
"Why not?" Rogue chocked.
Remy opened his mouth but the words heard weren't his own.
"Because he's my husband now!" Remy and Rogue spun around to see a tall blond woman walking through the doors to the garden.
'Husband?' the words hit Rogue like a smack to the face. That made this Belladonna. He was married now? 'No' Her mind cried, 'oh gawd please no.'
"And you must be Rogue. The little whore who tried to take my Remy from me."
"Belle that's enough!" Remy snarled at her. Rogue balled up her hands, her fingernails biting into the skin on her palms. Remy turned back to Rogue. "I'm so sorry."
"Yes, we're so sorry." Belle giggled pulling Remy back and hugged his arm tightly. Rogue could no longer suppress her tears. 'This can't be happening.'
"Now, say good-bye to your little friend Remy." Belle said bringing out a gun from behind her. Rogue froze so did Remy. 'This chick was crazy!' Remy grabbed Belle's wrist, forcing it away from Rogue as it went off. He pulled it from her grasp as he wrestled her to the ground. Belle lay still looking up at her husband, her expression of shock showing the 'how dare you' thought running threw her head.
"You will never hurt her!" Remy roared in anger. Belle pushed herself up laughing.
"I don't have to! Julien will be here shortly to do you in just like that Scott fellow."
Rogue lunged forward grabbing Belle by her ringlet hair and pulling her to the ground. "You bitch, it was you." Rogue punched and slapped at Belle's face continuing to yell and scream at her.
"Rogue!" Remy called from behind while trying to get them off each other.
They stood apart, Remy in the middle, the two women one either side. "I guess it's far," Rogue said. "By now Logan's probably shredded Julien into pieces."
Pure horror crossed Belles face for a moment before coming undeniable hatred. "I'll kill you!"
"You want a piece of me blondy bring it." Rogue said threateningly. Belle backed up smiling.
"Fallow the leader bitch!" She said before turning and ran inside. Rogue took after her as fast as she could not even hear Remy's shouts telling her not too. Remy raced after them.

Rogue chased her up another set of stairs up to the third floor. She stopped in the hall not knowing which door to Belle turned in. Rogue walked slowly down the hall. At the end, last door of the right Belle called, "Come find me bitch." Rogue started running again. She turned the corner too fast as the door closed and locked behind her. Rogue turned to see Belle standing in front of the closed door no longer wearing her tacky wedding dress but a white corset and matching tights.
"Still got no taste I see." Rogue joked, talking about her underclothes.
"And I still look better then you." Belle said back using the same tone of voice Rogue used.
"So what's behind your back this time?" Rogue asked leaning into a fighting stance. Belle smiled as she flipped out a switchblade. 'Shit.' Rogue thought before noticing she still wasn't wearing her gloves. She smiled as the odds changed in her favour. A breeze blew against Rogue's back as she realised she had backed herself into a trap she'd have to kill to get out off. She swallowed hard moving to her left slowly. Belle ran at her first, Rogue spun around kicking her in the side, coming around again to land a punch to her mouth. Rogue's spark of power making Belle pause and blink giving Rogue another clear shot at her face with a sidekick. Belle fell back on to her back. She whipped blood from her lips before getting up again. Walking around forcing Rogue to move in one way. Belle managed to block Rogue's next kick and was able to throw her back with another hit to the jaw. Rogue hit the floor hard. Belle grabbed the front of her shirt, pulling Rogue to her feet before pushing her back again. Rogue gasped as she hit the windowsill with her thigh. Belle came closer. Rogue narrowed her eyes and kicked out at the hand holding the knife knocking it clear across the room. That didn't stop her, Belle threw herself forward grabbing Rogue throat starting to chocker her. Rogue started to fall back through the open window. Her powers pulled but lack off oxygen was making her too dizzy to keep her balance.
Wrapping a free leg around Belle's ankle Rogue fell back taking Belle down with her. Rogue closed her eyes tightly, the hands unclasped around her neck and she breathed in hard. Rogue grabbed up getting hold of the window frame. The dying scream stopped Rogue heard the sickening sound of Belle's body hitting the ground below.
Silence, silence, "Rogue!" She heard her name being called along with the sound of cracking wood.
"Help!" She called out losing her grip on the wood. Rogue looked up to see Remy lean over and pull her up into the room. Rogue started to shake as she felt the wood flood beneath her. Remy hugged her securely. He'd never let go again, Remy told himself confidently.
"Rogue I love you, I'm sorry I put you through any of this!" Remy told her rocking her back and forth.
"I'm in trouble aren't I?" Rogue asked remember what Remy had once said about the Assassin's guild.
"As long as I'm here chere. They'll never touch you! And that's a promise."
"I just want you here Remy."
"I want you Rogue." He said nuzzling her hair.
"I know…" Rogue smiled starting to hug Remy back.
"Did I miss much?" Rogue and Remy looked up, startled by the sudden voice.
"Logan!" Rogue said happily.
Remy let go of Rogue throwing his hands up. "Am I in trouble?"
"No. Well not with me anyway."
Rogue giggled, "Can we just go home now?"
