A/N: Tabitha-Marie belongs to me and only me, she is my own creation but i haven't thought of her power yet ideas are all welcome. Also I don't own X-men though i wish I did, I'd be mega rich then. Review too guys I love hearing from you and the more reviews the quicker the updates. Enjoy. Will eventually make longer chapters too.

The wind brushed her hair from her cheeks with gently fingers, pulling the lazy strands upwards as her body fell. Her eyes remained closed to the sights rushing up to see her, their glee of getting to rip her skin to shreds as evident as the whistle of the wind through the forest of trees. Nothing she has left is worth living for, touch is too much of hope she'll never receive. She expects pain, a hurt she never thought she'd feel in the course of her lifetime, an end she thought she would have been given the chance to choose. The pain though never gets the privilege of touching her delicate skin, as she is sweep higher into the air by strong muscular arms. Her will is broken, her fate stolen from beneath her, the end no longer in her power. Her feet a set upon soft grass that caresses her toes as they meet. The strong arms release their hold upon her with ease and she gracefully and elegantly falls to the ground. A small yet soft brush of air sweeps across her fallen form as she realizes her savior has left her. Feel lost and alone she remains lying in the comfort of the grass as it now caresses her bare untouched cheek. As she lies unmoving the approaching footsteps go unnoticed. A gentle hand touched her unmoving body causing her to visibly flinch and move away from the owner of the hand to stare eye to eye and the foreigner. The new arrival looked wary of the girl in which she had just touched, unsure of what she should do.

"I'm umm Tabitha-Marie" She offered in a gentle voice

The girl before her just eyed her with wary eyes waiting for the foreigner to forge the first attack.

"I'm here to see Ororo. I didn't mean to frighten you but you were just lying there and I didn't know what to do"

The girl before her now looked around her, eyes widening in shock as she took in her current surroundings. She was still only within the institutes grounds that surrounded the mansion. Tabitha-Marie simply watched the girl before her explore her surroundings with her emerald green eyes. The emerald eyes turned back to look into the deep blue eyes that were streak with gold around the center that belonged to Tabitha.

"I'm Rogue" she offered to the other girl

Tabitha offered the girl a hand to help her up in which it was declined.

"It's my power" Rogue explained as though it answered the questioning look she received.

Rogue then led the way to the mansion with Tabitha in tow as hidden in the far off distance her savior watched her return to safety as a sigh of relief escaped their lips.
