Chapter 6.
All the other X-men were alerted of an intruder, they were rushing to the scene when they see Remy standing at the doorway.
" This is business that Rachelle has to take care of." That was all Remy said before going on to look for Rogue and Candice in his room.
-
Rogue was in Remy's room with Candice. She knew about Belladonna. Remy and Rachelle had told her about Belladonna. But no matter how much information she had from the both of them, it still did not prepare her for this. That Belladonna was here to take away everything she held dear. After four years of trying to get her powers in check, Belladonna was here to take everything away from her. As she held Candice close to her, waiting patiently for Remy, the same thoughts kept running through her head. That after all that she went through to control her powers for the people she loved, it was all going to be snatched away from her.
Remy picked up his pace towards his room. Today was supposed to be a perfect day for Rogue and himself. Today was going to be the day where he was going to propose to her. Today was going to be the day where she was finally going to be his. When he entered his room, he saw Rogue cuddling Candice and rocking back and forth on the floor so that Candice could fall asleep. And as he look even more closely, he could see tear stains on Rouge's cheeks and clothes. Seeing her in this state broke his heart, simply because he knew that she was crying and he wasn't able to be there to comfort her among the chaos, instead, he was too caught up with his family troubles. He walked silently towards her, taking Candice from Rogue's arms and gently placed her on the bed, awaking Rouge from her trance.
" Are you alright?" Remy asked, his voice heavy with concern as he wiped the unshed tears from Rogue's eyes.
" I'm fine, just worried thats all."
" Chere, look at me." Rogue lifted her head to look into Remy's red on black eyes as he reached into his pocket to take a box out.
" Chere, will you marry me and be mine forever?" Remy asked, looking into her eyes as if they were the portal to her eyes but the moment was ruined when Kurt teleported into the room.
" Rachelle fainted." It was all he said before he teleported out again. It took a few seconds for the information to register in their heads before they rushed out into the infirmary.
-
It had been hours since the fight between Belladonna and Rachelle. The X-men gathered around her bed, as if waiting for a miracle to happen. John's eyes were bloodshot and Remy's expression unreadable. No one, not even Beast knows the reason for her coma. All they knew was that Rachelle kept opening her mouth, trying to say something and tears were streaming down her face which was contorted as though she was in unbearable pain. Professor X has been trying to enter her mind for the past hour, trying to figure out the reason for her silent pain but everything proved futile. Now all they can do is wait. Wait for a miracle to happen.
-
Belladonna cursed under her breadth, every little movement she made hurt like hell. All thanks to Rachelle. Luckily, Belladonna had her drug with her, a drug that causes a person to go into a coma and relive their most painful memories. But so far, it has only worked on normal people, it has not been tested by mutants before. Belladonna was secretly hoping that it would cause a lot more pain to Rachelle than it would to a normal human.
Thats for killing Julian!
These words kept running through her head. After all these years, what she did still haunted her. She was supposed to be an assassin, she wasn't supposed to feel guilty or have a soul. Her brother died. All because of her desire to have Remy all for herself.
" What? Julian gets to marry Rachelle? Its not fair pere! Its not fair! I love Remy and we should get married instead! Not Julian and that stupid bitch!" That earned her a slap across her face. Rachelle did not deserve to marry her brother. Rachelle was adopted just like Remy. But Rachelle did not deserve to marry the man she loved. Belladonna did. She waited all her life so that she could marry Remy. Now it was all ruined.
All she wanted to do was for Rachelle to get out of the way. So that she could marry Remy. Julian was in the way, which was why he is dead now. But that didn't matter at first, because now she has to marry Remy in exchange for peace, for this, she could live with the guilt all her life. But now she has nothing, her brother is gone, Remy hates her, Rachelle wants her revenge. Now she has nothing.
" One day, one day Rachelle will finally be out of my way and Remy will finally be mine. One fine day."
