Okay, I made a BIG mistake on chapter nine. The first and second flashbacks are in March not May.lol I have no idea why I put May, it was always March.
Anyway, thanks for the reviews Special2, Aiyami Sakura, RogueRemy123, helikesitheymikey!, BlkDiamond, gambit-rogue, lildevil0644, NaijaStrawberrie lovestoread and last but not least knoxvilleloversc. Very nice load of reviews, especially since I haven't had over ten reviews since the first chapter. What happed to everyone?
I don't own X-Men sadly, but I own the cute little Chrissy, Mr. Ross and the evil Damien.
Oh and it's like four in the morning, just in case I don't mention it.
He didn't mean…that he…does he? No he couldn't…could he? Anna looks back at Remy.
"Remy, Ah tihnk Ah" but before she could tell him how she feels a loud buzzing sound is heard from the nightstand by the bed. Remy reaches for his cell.
"Ello?" asks Remy madly "Oui, Anna's wit' moi. Why John?" asks Remy curiously "WUT!" Remy's mouth is hanging open and his eyes are wide "Are y' two d'accord?" Remy ask worriedly "Bon, y' stay dere wit' de cops et we'll be dere soon." Remy hangs up and starts to change into his cloths from last night. Anna watches Remy curiously, but also with worry.
"Remy, why are John ahn Wanda wit' teh police?" asks Anna as she she's trying not to lose it when Remy hangs his shoulders in defeat.
"Deir house was pu' on fire a few hours ago et dey were worring wehre y' were." Anna sucks in a sharp breath as she starts to shake. She wraps her arms around her body and little tears start to fall from her eyes.
"'t's d'accord cherie, everyone 's fine. John said he et Wanda dropped Chrissy at Henri's before dey lef' yesterday mornin'. Y' 'ere et de place was already on fire wehn dey got dere." But no matter what Remy said to try and calm Anna down, nothing worked. Was there something inside the house that meant a lot to her?
"Was dere somet'ing important in de house of y'ers?" he asks sweetly. But all she does is shake her head telling him 'no'. "Den wut's wrong? De cops said 't was a an electrical fire." Why is she crying? It's not like it was her house.
"Ah'm sorry Remy, Ah'm jus' bein' emotional. Come on let's go ahn see how Wanda ahn John are doin'." Anna grabs her cloths and heads into the bathroom.
"Emotional? Anna? Dat doesn' sound righ'." Remy notes this in his mind as to bring it up later, but right now he needs to finish getting ready.
The way to John's house was fast and quiet, much to Remy's displeasure. But what could he do? Force her to reply to his comments? Wouldn't a made a difference. Remy was brought out of his thoughts when he came up to John's house or what's left of it. All that's left of the once big house is nothing. Remy and Anna jump off the bike and rush over to their friends.
"Wanda! John!" Wanda and John turn to Anna and Remy as Anna rushes to them. "Are ya two okhay?" asks Anna as she hugs Wanda dearly, while Remy and John talk.
"Yeah, we were just worried about you. We weren't sure if you were in there or not." Anna nods her head as she looks around the empty lot.
"Ah'm soo sorry, Ah should 'ave nevah a come back." Whispers Anna sadly as tears start to fall from her eyes.
"Anna, this wasn't your" Wanda tries to consul her friend, but Anna shakes her head and pulls away from Wanda's grasp.
"Yes, it was. Evahythang is meh fault!" And with that Anna runs away from her friends and down the barely lit streets. Remy was about to go after her but John stopped him, Remy looks at him as if he's crazy. Well crazier.
"No mate, the shelia will come back when she's ready." Remy was about to argue with John, but he shut his mouth when Wanda opened hers.
"Besides if she doesn't want to be found, she won't." Remy throws back his head and looks up at the sky. The stars are disappearing and the clouds are appearing. "Though what I don't get is why would she blame herself for this? We were the last ones to leave, John probably left the toaster or something on." John nods his head with his eyes closed, but then ones them and glares at his wife.
"No I didn't!" Wanda laughs at John as he walks towards their car. "Where ya going?" he asks confused
"I'm going to get some pickles and ice cream, maybe some French fries." Wanda smiles as she heads for the driver's seat, but is quickly pulled away by John as he shakes his head.
"Sorry shelia you're pregnant, so I'll drive." John opens the back seat for Wanda, but she just looks at him as if he's stupid.
"John, I can still drive and why do I have to sit in the back?" John smiles and looks at Wanda.
"Because you could hurt the baby" He answers smartly and before Wanda could agree with him he continues. "Trust me shelia, you and the baby are safer in the back." Smirks John and he pushes Wanda in the back and buckles her in. "See ya mate." John waves from the car as he drives down the street like an old man.
"Oh yea, dat homme was tackled too many times in high school. Hopefully Wanda doesn' kill him until after Ah ge' Anna t' marry moi et maybe until she 'as de baby. Wouldn' wan' ol' Johnny boy diein' before he got t' see 'is bebe." Remy jumps on his bike and heads to Henri's to pick up Chrissy and see if she knows anything about why her mama is soo 'emotional'.
After running for who knows how long Anna finally stops and leans her hot body against the cool stone building. She whips the sweat from her forehead and wonders how she can be so hot when she feels so cold? Suddenly Anna starts coughing. Oh, that's why.
"Damit, Ah can' be getting' sick now. No' wit' Damien 'ere in New York." Anna whips the sweat off of her forehead and dries her hand on her pants as she starts through the alley again.
After parking his motorcycle, Remy heads to the door and knocks. Mercy opens the door covered in flour and Remy can't help but laugh at his sister-in-law.
"Shut 't p'tite." She snaps as she walks back into the kitchen. Remy turns his attention on his brother, confusion written all over his face.
"'he 'as been worried 'bout Anna since Wanda called," Henri answers "so how was y'er nigh' wit' 'er? Did y' tell 'er? Or did y' chicken ou'?" Remy glares at his big brother, who in returns laughs at him. "Wut? Ah knew 'he was wit' y', bu' of course Mercy didn' believe moi. Hell 'he still doesn' so 'he's worrin' herself over not'ing. Atleas' Ah hope so." sighs Henri as he looks toward the kitchen when he sees Chrissy and Nicolas.
"Why do y' say dat?" Remy asks when he sees Chrissy frowning "'s moi, Ah mean 's Chrissy d'accord?" Henri shrugs his shoulders and looks back at Remy.
"Ever since 'he heard 'bout de fire 'he no' be happy. Ah asked 'er wut's wrong, bu' de p'tite won' answer moi." Remy nods his head and heads to Chrissy.
"Bonjour p'tite, how y' be?" Chrissy looks up at Remy, her auburn locks pulled back in a low pony tail and her hands stuffed in her blue jean overalls.
"Ah'm…fihne." Smiles Chrissy as she walks passed him and back to Nicolas' room. Remy shakes his head as he turns and goes after her, he gently grabs her arm and she stops.
"Chrissy, talk t' moi. S'il vous plait." Begs Remy as he releases her arm. Chrissy turns to him and looks into his dark brown eyes. Remy notices the little girl biting her lower lip and playing with her hands.
"Teh man, mah…he…" Chrissy closes her eyes as little tears escape from them. "'bout a week before mah mama took meh away from teh south mah...mah…" Chrissy looks at Remy sadly, as if begging him not to make her say it; Remy smiles and nods his head.
"He ahn anothah man came inta teh house, mama doesn' know tihs cause Ah wasn' suppose ta be home. Bu' Ah wan'ed Wolfie, so Ah snuck ou' of our neighbors house ahn crawled through teh basemen' window. Aftah Ah go' Wolfie Ah headed back ta teh basemen', bu' as Ah was goin' down teh stairs Ah heard teh fron' door open." Chrissy takes a deep shaking breath and was about to continue, but Remy pressed a finger to her face, just under her eye and whips her tear away. She smiles at him and continues.
"Ah pressed mah ear ta teh door and listened ta tehm, tehy said tinhgs lihke; So wehn do we pu' ya'er plan inta action? Ahn Soon don' worry mah friend, Anna will be gone before teh end of teh week." Chrissy balls her hands into fists. "Tahts why Ah jumped at teh though' of leave, especially aftah Ah found mah mama layin' on teh floor bleedin' a few weeks ago." Chrissy gives Remy a weird look when she sees him running his hands through his hair and his skin lighter than it was moments ago.
"P'tite…Remy mus' 'ave heard y' wrong…did y' say y'er mama was bleedin'?" Chrissy nods her head. "Bleedin' how?" Chrissy puts her hand to her chin and looks as if she's thinking.
"Tehre was blood on 'er side ahn it was evahywehre." Remy inhales shakily as he tries to control himself. "Wehre's mah momma?" Chrissy asks after remembering what Henri told her.
"Umm…'he umm…'he wen' t' work p'tite." Remy answers as he mentally pats himself on the back. Remy turns around and heads for the door, quite proud of himself.
"How?" Remy stops and turns back at Chrissy with wonder. "Ah mean, Auntie Mercy said evahytahng was destroyed, includin' Wolfie. How could mama's cloths ahn stuff be ohkay?" To say Remy was taken back would be an understatement, because all he could do was open and shut his mouth like a gold fish.
Hopefully I didn't make any major mistakes again; I even reread it to make sure. Hope ya'll like the chap and I'll start on the next one once I finish my homework.
